Chapter 945: Secret Omen (2)
freёweɓnovel.com Only Cui Pingan rarely spoke; whenever the topic turned to him, he would respond absently, thinking he had concealed his glances that darted back and forth between Mo Yan and Xiao Ruiyuan. His brow furrowed intermittently, as if encountering some inscrutable matter.
With their keen senses, Mo Yan and Xiao Ruiyuan easily noticed Cui Pingan’s odd behavior. However, one mistook Cui Pingan’s inner turmoil as concern for her relationship with Xiao Ruiyuan, while the other thought Cui Pingan had ulterior motives, wanting to undermine him, even though Cui Pingan had a significant other, not lessening his guard one bit.
After the meal, while Xiao Ruiyuan was called to the study for a discussion by Mo Qingze, Cui Pingan found Mo Yan slicing a watermelon. He intended to ask something, but when the words reached his lips, he didn’t know how to express them.
Mo Yan deftly scooped out the bright red flesh of the melon, cutting it into even pieces and skewering them with bamboo sticks. When eating, one could simply use a stick to pick up a piece just enough for a mouthful, without worrying about staining clothes or having hands dripping with watermelon juice.
Seeing that the watermelon was all cut up and Cui Pingan still hadn’t spoken, Mo Yan grew impatient and asked directly, "Do you have something you want to tell me?"

Seeing him like this, Mo Yan felt rather helpless and couldn’t help but urge him, "Just ask whatever you want to ask; after asking, eat the watermelon, wash up, and go to sleep. Tomorrow morning, you still need to water the vegetable garden in the backyard!"
Upon hearing these words, Cui Pingan showed a moment of hesitation on his face but eventually mustered the courage to speak, startling Mo Yan with his question, "Miss Mo, do you believe in past lives and present lives?"
