"Mo Kang!" Xia Rou grabbed him excitedly. The reason why she liked Mo Kang to begin with was due to his forgiving and magnanimous heart for her. Now, it seemed she had been right; Mo Kang was still like that.
More than twenty years and still he didn’t marry another woman, carrying that wedding certificate with him all this time. And this was when he had misunderstood her! There might have been too much hardship between the two of them, she felt it had all been worth it.
"Thank you, Ye-Qianbei, for saving my life," Xia Rou let go of Mo Kang and thanked Ye Mo. She couldn’t call him 'brother' like Mo Kang. She was from the hidden sects, where they really cared about generation titles. But Ye Mo didn’t mind, he waved his hand and said, "Sister Xia, I’m brothers with Brother Mo, don’t call me qianbei."
