1286 Going Together

"Why are you so clever." Mo Lian sighed helplessly as he picked up the little fellow and set her on his knees. He embraced her while explaining softly, "There's a bit of trouble. Jiaozhong Defensive Base's water source has been sabotaged. It's like you said before, they've started to tamper with the water sources."

"You didn't take precautions?" Qiao Mu gazed at Mo Lian worriedly.

"As a small and remote base, its precautionary measures will certainly not be as impregnable as the large bases surrounding the Mo Kingdom capital."

"Even Little Seven needs to fly for around three days from the Mo Kingdom capital to get there." Mo Lian tucked the loose hair hanging beside her cheeks behind her ear as he beamed, "Qiaoqiao, don't worry. Hubby will hurry back in 10 days. I definitely won't miss our wedding."

Qiao Mu cast him a gruff look. "I'm going with you."

"No can do. That place is too remote and the situation is not clear. It may be dangerous." Mo Lian coaxed while hugging her, "Be obedient now."

However, Qiao Mu arched up her neck to look at him. "If you don't bring me along, I'll trail you secretly."

Mo Lian was both amused and exasperated as he looked down at her and remarked, "You really aren't obedient."

Qiao Mu hugged his waist with her petite paws. "Going together!"

"How are you so obstinate." In the end, Mo Lian couldn't do anything about her, and he nuzzled her forehead left and right with his own. "Obstinate and vexing."

"Going together!"

"The royal court issued a cleanup mission for Jiaozhong Base. Many people will be going with me, so there is nothing to worry about, Qiaoqiao. So just stay behind obediently and happily prepare to be my bride."

"Going together!" The little fellow was glaring at him with such displeasure that her eyes had turned round.

Mo Lian was simply at his wit's end. Even 18 horses were unable to drag this little one back when she became stubborn.

"I'm only going to check on the situation there. Strictly speaking, there is not much danger."

The little fellow's gaze scanned over him nonstop, and she frowned with a stiff expression, not saying anything.

Mo Lian simply could not go against his little emperor darling, and he relented with a sigh. He grunted as he cupped her petite face with his hands, "Fine, fine, fine. We'll go together, go together."

He really couldn't talk this little fellow out of it. It was too vexing.

Qiao Mu immediately hopped off his knees, and she opened the closet to take out several light-colored everyday clothes and socks before stuffing them directly into a sack. She then threw it over her shoulder and pattered up to Mo Lian. "Let's go!"

Mo Lian: …

"My Qiaoqiao, we'll only be setting off at dawn, so it's still a bit early now." Mo Lian encircled her waist with both amusement and exasperation as he carried her over to the bed in a princess carry. "Let's sleep for a while before setting out."

Qiao Mu swept him a suspicious glance. "You won't sneak off while I'm asleep, right."

The two lay down while still dressed. Mo Lian turned to look at his wifey and shook his head mirthfully. "Since I've promised you, I will naturally make good on the promise."

"Humph." Still feeling a bit mistrustful, Qiao Mu reached out to clutch a lock of his long hair in her fist.

Her small body then nestled comfortably in his embrace, and she called out cheerfully, "Sleeping now."

Mo Lian: …

You're able to sleep comfortably, but pity on him for lying there stiffly. His olfactory sense was assailed by the little fellow's tantalizing fragrance.
