A matriarchal world with a harem? You must be kidding!

"Alright, I understand what you mean. It was wrong of me to deliberately avoid you and not contact you these days. But it's mainly because I've been working and I'm very busy every day. Plus, Xiaoxue harbors resentment towards you, so I can only consider her feelings and stay away from you for the time being," Mo Xunhuan explained helplessly.

Although the explanation was ordinary, it was a cure for Su Qi. For the past two weeks, she had been so preoccupied with whether she had done something wrong that Mo Xunhuan was avoiding her.

Only now did she realize that it was just to avoid suspicion, which instantly relieved her, and tears streamed down her face.

"That's...good, that's good, as long as you don't hate me... Waaaaah..."

"Oh my god, why are you crying? There's no need for that!" Mo Xunhuan was also startled and quickly pulled out a tissue and handed it to her.

In his eyes, Su Qi had always been the kind of strong woman who was in control of everything and fearless in the face of danger, much like Lan Ruobing.

He never expected that she would have such a vulnerable side, crying so heartbreakingly that Mo Xunhuan wanted to hug her and comfort her.

"No... I'm fine. I'm just... finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. I thought you hated me. I'm glad it's not like that." Su Qi said, wiping away her tears.

"Oh dear, you're overthinking things. Looks like you've been quite lonely lately~" Mo Xunhuan patted her thigh and teased.

Su Qi blushed slightly, showing no intention of stopping Mo Xunhuan's lewd behavior. Instead, she asked softly, "Loneliness is inevitable, so... is it okay for you today?"

"Today?" Mo Xunhuan stroked his chin, pondering, and said, "It's so late, I still have to pick up Qingqing!"

"It's alright, let Ruoxin take care of her."

"But it's so late now, Xiaoxue will probably be off work soon!"

"She's working overtime today, it'll take her another hour and a half, we... we'll make it!" Su Qi swallowed hard, her eyes filled with anticipation.

While Mo Xunhuan was still considering, the other party had already driven the car into the underground parking garage of a shopping mall and activated the anti-spy mode.

"What are you doing here? Are you going upstairs to buy something?" Mo Xunhuan asked, puzzled.

Su Qi locked the car door from the inside, then lowered the driver's seat and climbed into the back seat.

"Didn't I already say we need to hurry?"

Seeing Su Qi rush towards him so eagerly, Mo Xunhuan was completely bewildered and asked incredulously, "No way, here? I thought you were going to the hotel!"

"It's too much trouble. Just booking a room takes a lot of time. The key is that we only have an hour and a half, and we can't afford to waste any time. Besides, we haven't tried this before!" After saying that, Su Qi leaned down and covered his mouth with her kiss.

………………

An hour and a half later, Su Qi drove Mo Xunhuan to Lan Ruoxin's house and knocked on the door.

As the door opened, Lan Ruoxin, dressed in pajamas, appeared before them, revealing a playful expression upon seeing the two of them.

"Tsk tsk, all done?" Lan Ruoxin teased.

"Although it was a bit rushed, it was a new experience, so it was still pretty good," Su Qi said with a look of reminiscence.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense." Mo Xunhuan was too lazy to listen to the two women's rambling. He pushed past Lan Ruoxin and walked into the house, where he saw Lu Qingqing sitting on the sofa watching cartoons, looking very relaxed.

"Qingqing, it's time to go home," Mo Xunhuan said, patting her head.

"No, please! This episode is almost over, please wait a little longer!" Lu Qingqing pleaded, engrossed in the cartoon.

"What's wrong? Do you want to go home? Why don't you just live here from now on?" Mo Xunhuan complained irritably.

"Oh, this is great!" Lan Ruoxin and Su Qi walked in together, smiling as they approached Lu Qingqing, pulled her into their arms, and patted her head.

"I'm so bored living alone in this big house! How about Qingqing moves in with me from now on and becomes my godmother?"

"Ah, godmother~" Lu Qingqing called out sweetly without hesitation.

"Oh, so good~"

Seeing the two of them behaving so improperly, Mo Xunhuan gritted his teeth in anger and flicked Lu Qingqing's forehead with a flick, scolding her irritably, "Don't you have any self-respect? You've been bribed by cartoons."

"No way, it's not just cartoons, there are snacks too!" Lu Qingqing retorted, covering her head.

"You son of a bitch..."

Seeing Lu Qingqing like this, Mo Xunhuan was extremely disappointed. It was one thing for Lu Xiaoxue to be incompetent, but this girl was also incredibly spineless, going around seeking godmothers everywhere. Was she some kind of modern-day Lu Bu?
