Kapitel 104

Strangely enough, the child, who had been crying incessantly, began to sob and gradually stopped crying when held in Chu Junfeng's arms. His round eyes stared at Chu Junfeng curiously.

"This child listens to you," Mo Xibei said, also surprised. The child had been crying and fussing these past few days, often keeping her and Mu Feinan busy, but this was the first time they met Chu Junfeng, and he had acted so obediently. "You are Senior Brother Tian Xindi, why don't you name the child?" Mo Xibei said after thinking for a moment.

“I remember when we were little, I played with Tianxin. She always said that if she had children, she would name her son Antai and her daughter Ping’er, hoping that her children would be safe and healthy. This child is a girl, right?” Chu Junfeng said, looking at Mo Xibei.

"It's a girl, let's call her Ping'er." Mo Xibei didn't expect that Tian Xin was so innocent back then, and would give her child such a simple name. Although the character Ping gives people a feeling of impermanence and loneliness, it has the advantage of being tenacious and adaptable to the environment. It is not a bad expectation for the child.

"Brother Chu, what are your plans for the future?" A month later, Ping'er turned one month old. Three horses and four people galloped towards Jiangnan. In late autumn, everything in the capital had withered, but in Jiangnan, green grass and leaves could still be seen everywhere. The speaker was Mo Xibei. The baby in her arms, just like her name, had adapted to life on horseback in just a few days and was now sleeping soundly, a small smile on her lips. "Me? I'm not like some person who has lost their freedom. I've decided to make the most of this time and become a wanderer. Just imagine, listening to the zither every day, watching the flowing water and beautiful women, how pleasant and carefree." Chu Junfeng smiled, taking the opportunity to quickly put a pill in his mouth, slowly gazing into the distance, pausing for a moment before saying, "When you get married, don't forget to ask someone to send me a message beforehand. No matter how far away, I will come." "It's a promise!" Mu Feinan smiled as well, and the two men clapped their hands heavily on horseback. "You're a dog who breaks his promise."

"I won't break my word. Remember, if you dare to treat her badly, I'll come and teach you a lesson anytime!" Chu Junfeng laughed loudly, turned around quickly, and his gaze lingered on Mo Xibei's face for a moment, as if he wanted to remember something and keep it in his heart forever.

Mo Xibei did not avoid the gaze, but smiled calmly, which made him appear even more dashing.

"Take care!" These were Chu Junfeng's last words. Without waiting for Mo Xibei's reply, he spurred the horse's flanks and galloped away like an arrow, leaving only the three people behind him—two adults and one child—with a blurry, indistinct silhouette.

"Where do you think he'll go after leaving like this?" Mo Xibei sighed softly only after Chu Junfeng's figure disappeared from sight. "Why don't you ask him?" Mu Feinan, standing beside him, also gazed into the distance in the direction Chu Junfeng had disappeared.

“If he wants to tell us, he will. If he doesn’t, it’s probably because he doesn’t want us to know.” Mo Xibei took a deep breath and turned to look at Mu Feinan. “Hey, where are we going? I guess we can’t go back to my fourth floor. The world is too complicated and too dangerous. I’m itching to make money after not making any for a long time. Do you want to come with me to wander the world and become a shrewd merchant?”

"Do you have a choice?" Mu Feinan frowned, deliberately making a bitter face.

"No!" Mo Xibei answered decisively.

"Then why are you asking me if I want it?" Mu Feinan glanced at Mo Xibei with a hint of resentment, then muttered something under his breath before bursting into laughter.

"What are you making up about me now?" Mo Xibei handed the baby to Mu Feinan, freeing her hands to put on her hips and glaring at him like a shrew. "How could I dare to make up about you?" Mu Feinan shook her head, refusing to say anything, and spurred her horse to trot.

"Will you tell me or not?" Mo Xibei chased after him.

"I won't tell!"

"Speak quickly!"

"I won't tell!"

"I won't talk to you anymore if you don't say it!"

"Fine, I'll say it! You domineering and money-loving woman, I, Mu Feinan, just love you and want to be with you for the rest of my life!"
