Chapter 178 Xia Rong's Longing

Xia Rong was very dissatisfied to see Mu Long staring blankly at her again, so she raised her jade foot and gently kicked Mu Long, who was standing next to her.

Hey! Hey you blockhead, why are you staring at me like that again?

Xia Rong's act of gently kicking Mu Long was an extremely ordinary action. Previously, after being gently kicked by Xia Rong, Mu Long would gently rub the injured area with both hands.

Oh dear! Miss Xia Rong, are you a young master or a young lady? Why do you always kick people like that? Do you know how much it hurts when you kick someone?!

Every time Mu Long said this to Xia Rong, Xia Rong would grab Mu Long's big ear very hard.

However, this time Mu Long acted rather unusually. After looking Xia Rong up and down, he snatched Xiao Furong from Xia Rong's arms.

Since you are attracted to women, I will no longer bother you from now on. Why did you hide this from me for so long?

Xia Rong was completely baffled by what Mu Long said to her. Just as she was about to express her doubts to Mu Long, he raised his hand in disgust and forcefully slapped Xia Rong's hand that was on his shoulder.

What's wrong? Who has angered our incredibly proud Young Master Mu Long again? Tell me and I, Xia Rong, will teach that person a lesson for you.

Because Mu Long used too much force, Xia Rong's hand instantly turned red. Tao Zi, who was standing to the side, felt sorry for Xia Rong's red hand and immediately held Xia Rong's hand in her palm.

After carefully examining it, he puffed out his little mouth and kept blowing air onto Xia Rong's red hand.

What's wrong? It was just a light tap on the back of your hand, Miss. Is there even a scar? Why are you making such a fuss?

What's wrong with you now, sir? Our young lady hasn't done anything to you! Why are you speaking to her in such a cold tone?

Mu Long rolled his eyes at Tao Zi for scolding him loudly. Just as he was about to leave, Xia Rong stopped him.

Hey! What's wrong with you? Why are you leaving so soon? It seems like no one here has upset you, Young Master Mu Long.

While talking to Mu Long, Xia Rong kept stroking Xiao Furong's little head with her hand.

Meow! Meow! Meow!

Little Hibiscus raised its little head and called out to Xia Rong a few times, then kept patting Xia Rong's palm with its little chubby hand.

Hey! Little one, do you want Mommy to take you for a walk around the streets? If so, jump on me, okay?

Meow! Meow!

Little Furong was overjoyed to hear that Xia Rong was going to take it out for a walk! It called out to Xia Rong a few more times and then squatted down, just about to jump onto Xia Rong, when Mu Long firmly pressed it onto his shoulder.

No, you're not allowed to go! Why have you been so wild lately, you little rascal? Didn't I just take you for a walk around town?

Haha! Mu Long, didn't you always pester me before, saying that if I didn't go shopping with you, you would never go shopping again?

Now that you have this little one, Xiao Furong, will some of your habits change?

Don't you already have a good friend like Peach? Why don't you just go shopping with her? Why did you drag me into this?

Xia Rong frowned upon hearing Mu Long's words. She wondered if this idiot had misunderstood her and Taozi's relationship.

That's probably why he was so cold and indifferent to me today! Otherwise, if it were before, he would have put that cute little kitten in his arms long ago.

Then he turned around and washed his hands thoroughly. After he finished this series of actions, he took the candied hawthorns that he had made for himself and fed them to himself.

Thinking of this, Xia Rong couldn't help but break down and cry! She truly couldn't understand why the person who had previously cherished and doted on her would suddenly disappear without a trace.

When Xia Rong learned from Xia Ren that Mu Long had planted hawthorn trees all over the hill behind her house in order to please her, and that he had even taken the time to go around learning how to make candied hawthorns, she was shocked.

How could she not love a man who goes to such lengths to pamper her like a princess? Why was she so arrogant before? She couldn't let go of her pride!

Is it really that hard for me to tell Mu Long "I love you"?

Emperor Xia felt heartbroken to see his beloved daughter silently shedding tears again, so he took out his handkerchief and carefully wiped away Xia Rong's tears.

What's wrong? My dearest child, are you thinking about your mother who passed away many years ago?

I have no father! I have never seen my mother since I was born! I don't even know what my mother looks like.

How could I possibly shed tears because I miss her? Why did you suddenly ask me this question, Father? Is it because you've started missing my mother again lately?

Yes! The Ghost Festival (Zhongyuan Festival) is just over ten days away, isn't it? Legend has it that on that day, the gates of the underworld open, and those who have passed away return to the human world to reunite with their living relatives!

Father, do you believe in the existence of the underworld and reincarnation? I firmly believe in such a thing.

Rong'er, have you recently learned something you shouldn't know? Why would you come to the Xia residence in the dead of night to play tricks and scare your grandmother?

Haha! Father, are you questioning me? Doesn't it break your heart to see your mother so frightened by me?

Rong'er, your father will not blame you for this! But he is worried that you will become unrecognizable because you want to avenge your mother.

Father, did she secretly hurt my mother with just a few unpleasant words? Don't you hate her?

Haven't you ever thought about this question? What if my mother hadn't passed away? Would our family of three have been the happiest family in the world?

Then I wouldn't have had such a turbulent and miserable childhood! And your personality wouldn't have become so unpredictable!

If none of this had happened, perhaps I would have already married the most beloved person in the world.

She has her own man, hasn't she? She has borne him children, and her own mother is by her side during her postpartum period! What a blissful thing this is.
