Xin He nodded in agreement, lifting her head and declaring, "Then it's settled!"
Marquis Mu Houchu gently smiled and responded, "As the new year begins, we will introduce this public school. At that time, Xiao Bei and Xiaochaihuo can attend together."
"Mm, good!" Xin He voiced her satisfaction, hugging Mu Houchu's neck as she pecked a kiss on his face, "How come you've suddenly become so nice to Xiaochaihuo? You used to be always so fierce; I thought you didn't like him."
Marquis Mu Houchu continued to smile gently, "Is that so?"
He hadn't admitted to liking him currently.
Xin He laughed, "Isn't it? You forgot how scared he was of you as a child."
Recalling how terrified Xiaochaihuo had been as a child made Mu Houchu's smile take on a chill undertone. He had also been deceived previously; the smile was both genuine and forced.
