The doctor went in and treated Mo Ting with all his might for two hours. He took off his mask tiredly before he pushed the door open and came out.

Facing Elder Mo’s expectant gaze, the doctor sighed and shook his head. “This time, the eldest young master has hurt his foundation. We still have to do our best to find Gui Jianchou. He’s probably the only one who can cure the eldest young master.”

Elder Mo only felt that the little hope that had just emerged had been snuffed out in an instant. His gaze towards Mo Ting’s room was also filled with sorrow. “Could it be that the heavens want to destroy our Mo Family?”

Although the Mo family was flourishing and had countless juniors, the only person who could support the Mo family and not let it end up in a dead end was Mo Ting.

Elder Mo sighed. His entire person seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

“Elder, what if we can find the miracle doctor Gui Jianchou?” The doctor could not bear it as he suggested this unlikely hypothesis with much difficulty.

“If we could find him, we would have found him long ago. We offered thirty million to invite the miracle doctor, but we were ignored.” At this point, Mo Jun’s heart was filled with dissatisfaction.

He was just a doctor. The Mo family offered such a high price, yet the doctor didn’t even look at them. Who knows what kind of shady business the doctor was doing.

Fortunately, Chi Xiao had brought Mo Han to eat something. Otherwise, she would have lamented being dragged into it all.

After the doctor instructed to keep Mo Ting’s surroundings quiet, he left.

The members of the Mo family who were here also tactfully dispersed. Elder Mo supported himself with his walking stick and went upstairs with Mo Jun’s help. When he walked to the stairs, he suddenly remembered that on the day Chi Xiao had just arrived, Mo Ting had also woken up, so he asked Mo Jun to call Chi Xiao back, and he asked Chi Xiao to accompany Mo Ting.

“Father!” Mo Jun could not understand why Elder Mo had a special liking for an ugly woman like Chi Xiao, who came from an average family background.

Elder Mo looked coldly at his own son, who did not have much foresight, who also thought that he was smart. He said bitterly, “Young Ting’s situation is dangerous now. We cannot give up even the slightest chance. Do you understand?”

Mo Jun really wanted to say that he did not understand, but when he looked at Elder Mo’s gaze, he could only nod and surrender.

Chi Xiao accompanied Mo Han to finish eating dessert before she was called to Mo Ting’s room by the servants.

The servants of the Mo family were already looking slightly respectful towards Chi Xiao. However, their words were full of sarcasm towards her appearance.

“Young Madam must be having a hard time looking like this. She has to hide her appearance wherever she goes.”

“Our young master is really good.”

“Young Madam, Don’t blame for speaking out of turn. I’ve been working in the Mo family for more than ten years and feel sorry for the eldest young master. That’s why I’m worried about your appearance.”

Chi Xiao followed behind the maid with a smile all the way until the maid grumbled to the door of Mo Ting’s room.

Chi Xiao then opened her mouth and said, “Having worked here for more than ten years, have you forgotten your identity?”

She was still smiling, but the maid’s hair stood on end. When the door in front of her closed, the maid realized that the fabric on her back had been soaked in sweat.

But… it was scary. Their young madam was too scary.

Leaning against the door, Chi Xiao was satisfied to hear the maid roll and crawl away. She curled her lips in satisfaction.

She walked to Mo Ting’s bed and looked at his pale face and the weak look with his eyes closed. She said with a hint of regret, “It looks like the almighty Young Master Mo is really weak.”

As she said this, she sneakily whispered into Mo Ting’s ear, “So weak that I want to protect you.”

Having had enough fun, Chi Xiao saw that Mo Ting still had no reaction. She sat beside Mo Ting’s bed, stretched out a finger, and pushed Mo Ting. “Alright, there’s no one else around. Stop pretending.”

At this moment, Mo Ting slowly opened his eyes. Those eyes were too clear and innocent. Chi Xiao could only feel her heart faintly feel as if it had been hit by something. Her ears were also reluctantly red.

Mo Ting quietly looked at Chi Xiao. Chi Xiao silently averted his gaze, and to avoid his line of sight, she used the excuse of tidying up the silver needles left behind by the fake doctor.

However, it was obvious that Mo Ting was not willing to let Chi Xiao go just like that. He quietly looked at Chi Xiao’s back and asked softly, “How’s it going outside?”

Chi Xiao’s voice sounded quite normal. “I think everything is going according to your plan. Don’t worry.”

“My plan? It’s a pity that you were not in my plan,” Mo Ting said regretfully. “But now that you are here, I feel that this plan is more suitable.”

Chi Xiao was caught off guard when she heard such a vague confession. Her hand paused.

When Chi Xiao turned her head, she saw Mo Ting looking at her with a smile. That smile coupled with that face made it difficult for Chi Xiao to even breathe.

She coughed and forced herself to wake up from Mo Ting’s handsome face. “You should smile less in the future. It’s not good for your body to smile all the time.”

Especially… when he smiled like this.

Chi Xiao’s heart itched. She stared at Mo Ting for a while before shifting her gaze away. This time, Chi Xiao’s face was completely red. She was bashful and did not look like the person she used to be..
