"If there's nothing else, then leave." Mo Liancheng gestured towards the door with his eyes, indicating that she should handle it herself. Then, he lowered his head again, continuing to study the painting paper on the desk.
"But I haven't -"
"This prince is very busy."
Qu Tan'er, with her originally gentle eyebrows, raised one in a provoking manner. The delicate route was not working, so she suddenly spoke in a clear and cold tone, "Mo Liancheng, you're doing this on purpose."
"Using my full name?"
"Why? Names are meant to be called. Did you choose a name that shouldn't be called by people?" If he thinks of himself as a beast, she had nothing to say. In the two years at Qu Mansion, she could suppress any anger, and she could disguise herself seamlessly. However, when she encountered Mo Liancheng, everything crumbled.
"Qu Tan'er."
"What?" Qu Tan'er's beautiful eyes showed a hint of tolerance. Without good grace, she responded, "I'm not angry. Generally, people who get angry when others call their name aren't reasonable."
"You're really troublesome."
"..."
As a result, Qu Tan'er remained mysteriously silent.
Mo Liancheng's reaction was too strange. He didn't get angry? Or perhaps she couldn't tell.
After a pause, Qu Tan'er softly said, "Your Highness, please grant me permission to leave."
"There is no permission, and leaving the mansion is not possible. However, there is a room in the backyard that has been vacant. If you like, this prince can arrange for you to move there."
Suddenly, Qu Tan'er supported her arms on the desk, leaning towards Mo Liancheng. With clear, watery eyes fixed on Mo Liancheng's extraordinary face, she abandoned her usual casualness and asked with a more serious tone, "Mo Liancheng, have you ever felt that you've been acting strange lately? If you really dislike me, why won't you grant me permission to leave the mansion?"
"Did this prince say he dislikes you?"
"That..." Wouldn't forbidding her to leave the mansion imply some dislike?
"Eighth Sister-in-law, in fact, Eight Brother quite likes you. Otherwise, if it were any other woman who caused a commotion like you just did, she would have been thrown out of the mansion long ago." Mo Jingxuan chuckled lightly, unable to resist inserting a comment, even expressing his brother's grievances.
"Are you idle?" Mo Liancheng, without anger, glanced at Mo Jingxuan.
"Cough, not idle. Eight Brother, continue," Mo Jingxuan shuddered all over, immediately closing his mouth.
"I..."
Qu Tan'er had just wanted to say something, but Mo Jingxuan beat her to it, saying, "Eight Sister-in-law, if you really want to go out, why not let me accompany you? I have nothing to do, and it's a good opportunity to protect you."
"If you go out, don't bother coming back." Mo Liancheng nonchalantly threw out a sentence.
"Eighth Brother! Rest assured, I will safely bring Eighth Sister-in-law back." Mo Jingxuan hadn't sensed anything wrong for a moment and continued to wear a smile, almost patting his chest to show sincerity.
"The Eighth Prince's Mansion will be the place where you end."
"Eighth Brother?" Mo Jingxuan finally realized that something was wrong with the situation. Afraid that Mo Liancheng was serious, he retracted his smile and looked at Mo Liancheng with concern.
Qu Tan'er sighed again in her heart.
She really wondered if she owed Mo Liancheng something in her past life, like killing his parents or his wife. Was that why she came across time just to be abused by him?
While contemplating these thoughts, her scrutinizing gaze remained on Mo Liancheng, not lowering her head as usual. Paired with her seemingly weak and easy-to-bully appearance, the clear and firm gaze gave her an extraordinary charm. There was an indescribable air of elegance.
Mo Jingxuan happened to catch a glimpse of a trace of astonishment and complexity in the depths of Mo Liancheng's eyes...
