Chapter 16: Bewitched By Beauty

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chi Xiao felt that she was almost bewitched by Mo Ting’s beauty. It was not easy for her to turn her eyes away, but her mind kept repeating Mo Ting’s every frown and smile like a movie.

It could be said to be poisonous.

“After this, are you confident that you can cure me?”

Mo Ting did not seem to notice it and continued to talk to Chi Xiao with a normal expression.

She rubbed her face and almost rubbed the scar off. Chi Xiao did not dare to move and only said, “Of course I’m confident. It’s just that this process will take a long time. You should be mentally prepared.”

Chi Xiao paused after saying this.

When did she agree to treat Mo Ting’s illness?

How did she…

She looked at Mo Ting again and saw a smile on the corner of his mouth. It looked like his plan had succeeded.

But she had to admit.

Mo Ting’s crafty look made her heart flutter even more.

Chi Xiao’s eyes widened. What was wrong with her? Could it be that Mo Ting had poisoned her?

Had she been poisoned?

She was thinking about all sorts of things, but her hands were obediently giving Mo Ting acupuncture and burning moxa for moxibustion.

Mo Ting’s forehead was full of cold sweat, but he said, “According to our plan, the person who wanted to harm me will soon be exposed.”

Gradually, Chi Xiao seemed to hear that something was wrong. She stared at Mo Ting for a moment and asked, “Why is it our plan? It is your own plan from the beginning to the end. I am just helping out.”

Mo Ting smiled and nodded, “Yes, I forced you.”

Chi Xiao felt uncomfortable when Mo Ting said that. She said awkwardly, “You can’t say that.”

She felt more and more that this was not like her. Chi Xiao stared at the back of Mo Ting’s head and suddenly recalled the scene four years ago before she gave birth to Mo Han.

At that time, she had also met someone. That person was also refined and handsome. She could not take her eyes off him.

Following that, the two of them developed a relationship. However, that person suddenly disappeared after that. Even with Chi Xiao’s current power, it was difficult to find him. That person’s appearance was like a dream that Chi Xiao had.

However, Mo Han’s existence had indeed told Chi Xiao that it was not a dream.

Mo Ting was not that person.

Chi Xiao knew clearly that they were completely different in terms of looks. That person was too refined and was not as aggressive as Mo Ting.

However, they still had some similarities.

For example… when Chi Xiao met him, she became unlike herself.

Right now, Chi Xiao only felt that her heart was in a mess, like a ball of twine jumbled up with countless knots. It was extremely annoying.

“Oh right, how’s that swindler who claimed to be the senior of Gui Jianchou?”

Mo Ting was too good at seizing opportunities. He would always talk about serious matters when Chi Xiao was about to explode and divert her attention.

Chi Xiao was also happy to have her attention diverted. Recalling the scene where the “Huo Yanwang” was taken away by the police, she actually burst out laughing, “What else can be done? Of course, he’ll be brought to justice. That’s why I have to thank the modern law.”

At this point, Chi Xiao was still a little curious. “Do you think Mo Ning was too stupid to find such a person, or did she do it on purpose?”

What Mo Ning did was indeed not very smart. Chi Xiao only thought of two possibilities. Either she was stupid or she was bad.

Mo Ting could hear the hidden meaning in Chi Xiao’s words and laughed as well. He did not feel that there was anything wrong with slandering his cousin behind her back, “That cousin of mine has always been like this since she was young. She always thinks that she’s the only smart person in the world and everyone else is stupid, but no matter what she does, she always doesn’t do it very well. It’s really a headache.”

This was also an answer to Chi Xiao’s question. If Mo Ning was not bad, then she must be really stupid.

Chi Xiao was amused by Mo Ting’s tone and her movements became gentler. After a while, she stopped the moxibustion and said, “Leave the needle for twenty-five minutes. You can take this time to sleep.”

Mo Ting shook his head and said, “I lie down like this every day that my head is dizzy.”

Chi Xiao thought about it and agreed. She searched for the acupuncture points on Mo Ting’s head and massaged them gently. “This is used to relieve fatigue. It’s a little painful. Bear with it.”

Mo Ting only felt Chi Xiao’s soft little hands massaging his head. His heart was suddenly uncharacteristically satisfied.

It was exactly the same as back then.

Perhaps Chi Xiao’s massage was too comfortable, Mo Ting actually fell asleep unknowingly. His thick and long eyelashes closed together like two small fans.

Chi Xiao stared at Mo Ting’s sleeping posture without moving. After a moment, her face turned red again.

Could it be that she was really mesmerized by beauty?

She had never realized that she was such a person who blushed so much.

Chi Xiao shook her head silently. She let go of the hand that was rubbing Mo Ting’s head and slowly got up. She took out a miniature listening device from her pocket and stuffed it under Mo Ting’s bed.

“I’m doing this for your own good. I’m not interested in your private life.”

After saying this, Chi Xiao covered her face helplessly.. Why did she feel like she was a duck that had been cooked just now? Was she just being stubborn?
