Chapter 112: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 112: Exposure in Space (1)
When Mo Yan woke up again, she found herself lying on her own big bed. But as soon as she sat up, she was engulfed in tears from the three little ones. Helplessly consoling them for a while, they finally stopped crying.
"Big Sister, you don't know, last night you were brought back without moving at all, and it scared us all. Dad was almost driven crazy with worry."
Xin'er tightly held her sister's hand, tears streaming down her face as she spoke.
Since her sister went missing, Father had been waiting for news at the yamen since before dawn and couldn't sleep all night when he returned. The siblings couldn't do anything but wait at home, unable to eat or sleep well. Whenever they closed their eyes, they had nightmares. If their sister didn't come back, not only would Father go crazy, but they would also be devastated.
Mo Yan hugged them tightly, blinking back tears. There was no need for further questions. Just by looking at the gaunt faces of the three little ones, one could imagine how worried they had been during her absence.
At that moment, Qingze heard movement in the room and knocked on the door.
Mo Yan looked up and saw her father, with bloodshot eyes and looking worn out, as if he had aged ten years. Opening she mouth, she managed to utter only one word, "Dad," before he couldn't speak anymore.
Seeing his daughter awake, Mo Qingze's eyes also turned red. He tremblingly touched Mo Yan's head, repeatedly saying, "It's good that you woke up, it's good that you woke up..."
The family of four hugged each other warmly for a while, until Mo Yan's stomach growled loudly. Xin'er rushed to cook for her sister, with Li Yan also offering to help, leaving only the father and daughter in the room.
Knowing that they were unaware of her abduction, Mo Qingze spoke in a low voice, "They don't know you were abducted. I only said you were sick and needed to rest for a while. So, don't let it slip when you see them later."
"Okay, I understand."
Mo Yan knew her father was thinking about her reputation. After all, she was already fourteen, and being abducted for several days, even if she hadn't been harmed, who knew how it would be perceived? To avoid trouble, pretending to be sick was the best option.
At that moment, the door creaked open, and Mo Yan thought it was Xin'er, but instead, she saw a big dog's head peeking through the crack, its eyes meeting hers.
Seeing Mo Yan, Xiao Hua rushed into the room with a bark, wagging its big tail like a broom, and was about to jump onto the bed with powerful hind legs.
Mo Yan hadn't forgotten that this was the culprit who knocked her unconscious last night. Without hesitation, she lifted her leg and kicked it away.
Caught off guard, Xiao Hua was sadly swept aside, its sturdy body almost rolling to the ground. It steadied itself and looked at Mo Yan accusingly with bright, shiny dog eyes, as if she had done something unforgivable to it.
Mo Yan's eyes twitched as she wondered if she was seeing things, or was this fellow really looking at her with a grievance?
"Dad, how did this fellow end up in our house?"
Seeing that it was still unwilling to give up and was about to pounce again, Mo Yan quickly grabbed a shoe and threw it at it, trying to drive it out.
But this fellow was as agile as a fox, dodging the flying shoe with ease, refusing to leave.
Seeing that Mo Yan wouldn't let it approach, it howled in frustration, its long claws scraping the ground restlessly, kicking up dust and leaving deep claw marks on the solid ground.
