Chapter 402: Chapter 402: A Convergence of Experts
Mo Qingliu was too young and had been spoiled by everyone since childhood. Even her own older sister, Mo Qingshui, doted on her completely. She was less of a sister and more of a mother figure."I know, Sis, but have you thought about it? If that Sect Leader really shows up, how are you going to face him? He’ll definitely start pestering you relentlessly again," Mo Qingliu asked, blinking her big, lovely eyes.
"Just worry about yourself. You don’t need to be concerned with my affairs," Mo Qingshui said with a smile, poking Mo Qingliu on the forehead.
After some playful banter with her sister, Mo Qingliu left. Watching her younger sister’s carefree retreating figure, Mo Qingshui let out a soft sigh. She had once been just like Mo Qingliu, completely without worry. That had been the happiest time of her life, a time when it felt like a towering figure would shoulder any burden for her, protecting her from the slightest harm.
"Why did you walk into my heart, only to leave so ruthlessly?" Mo Qingshui murmured, her eyes growing moist as the image of the man who had once sheltered her from all storms appeared before her.
Time had passed and things were no longer the same. Although she was loath to let go, a thread of stubbornness remained in Mo Qingshui’s heart. It was this very stubbornness that prevented her from confronting her true feelings.
The days passed one by one, and today was finally Mo Qingshui’s birthday. Early in the morning, the entire Mo Family estate was filled with a festive and bustling atmosphere.
Mo Family servants bustled about, making final preparations. From early that morning, the entrance to the Mo Family estate was a constant stream of people, as crowded as a marketplace.
The first to arrive were naturally the other prominent families of Jincheng, both large and small. It was the birthday of the Mo Family’s Eldest Miss, and they had all come bearing gifts, seeing it as the perfect opportunity to strengthen their ties with the Mo Family.
A mere steward of the Mo Family was tasked with receiving them; their status was not yet high enough to warrant a personal greeting from the Mo Family’s Eldest Miss or the Patriarch himself.
