Chapter 30: Baby Mochi —-2
" Please tell me he is not talking about me?" Mo Qiang did expect that Wen Gui must have kept some weird nickname for his daughter given how much he loved her but she still did not expect that the mer actually named this woman who was taller than him—— Baby Mochi.
" I am afraid that Daddy Gui is indeed talking about you, sister," Mo Xifeng stifled a laugh when she looked at the expression of her sister who was looking at the world with an unhappy stare that said——' Either you kill me or I die.'
But that expression only got even worse when Wen Gui rushed towards Mo Qiang and started rubbing his hands all over Mo Qiang's face and limbs as if he was bent on finding a toe or finger missing.
" What is the matter with her? Why is she so lacking lustre today? Did she trip or something?" He asked one question after another while Mo Xifeng opened her mouth to reply but it was not Mo Xifeng who answered instead it was Shao Hui who was limping down the stairs who spoke,
" She must have relapsed what else, sister in law must have dragged her out of the pub again." As he spoke his eyes were glaring daggers at Mo Qiang who raised a brow and snorted in her head, ' All right you punk when everyone drinks the water that I purified, you better not take a sip!'
" You are forgetting the favourability points again," reminded Little Jiao which made Mo Qiang's expression turn even more sour. What in the world was this? What kind of life was she even living? Why was it that this little cherry tomato could treat her like she was trash on the side of the street but she still had to suck up to him?
" This sucks," Mo Qiang let her thoughts known to little Jiao while she stared at her fussing father who was now glaring at Shao Hui.
" I don't smell any alcohol on her, don't speak nonsense Hui'er!" With that, he turned to look at Mo Qiang and went to check up on her again but was stopped by Mo Xifeng who finally seemed to have realised that Mo Qiang has enough harassment for today.
" Daddy Gui, Sister is completely safe, she is just having muscle pain because of the work she is doing on the land which you gave her," she told Wen Gui while taking Mo Qiang to the couch and laying her on the soft fabric where the latter groaned and rolled on the other side where she did not have to see anyone face anymore.
When Wen Gui heard that Mo Qiang was fine and was just tired he was even more upset, he trotted after Mo Xifeng and looked at the back of his daughter who was looking at the head of the couch.
" Qi Qi, I think there is no need for you to work so hard I mean…even if you do not work everything will be fine——"
" No it will not be fine," Mo Yan returned with the groceries of their family and heard the words of her husband, at first she was speechless but she did not even get a chance to remain speechless because she was worried that her husband will drag Mo Qiang back to her old path. "It's all right no matter what she is doing on the land, let her do it. Anyway, sweet pain is nothing to fear …she will not die."
Wen Gui stared at his wife wanting to say something to her but was again interrupted by Mo Xifeng who agreed with her mother and said, "That's right mother, I am afraid that this won't do…if sister does not work then our family will no longer have clean water."
Her words surprised everyone as they all turned to look at her.
"My God, you truly are sick are you not?" Wen Gui raised his hand and then placed it on Mo Qiang's forehead while keeping the other hand on his own forehead. " You are hallucinating."
Mo Xifeng looked at Wen Gui speechlessly even Mo Qiang rolled over from her small shell and then turned to look at her daddy.
' Oh so this guy doesn't have any trust in me either,' she thought in her head while looking at Wen Gui.
" … I am not hallucinating, Daddy Gui. Sister has awakened her powers which is why she can…" Mo Xifeng opened the large container that she brought with her and showed the crystal clear water that was filled to the brim. " She can purify water and make it drinkable."
Wen Gui and Mo Yan immediately peeked inside the water container together with Shao Hui who stared at the clear water with popping eyes, the three of them turned to look at Mo Qiang who was staring at them with narrowed eyes and Wen Gui ended up blurting out,
" My baby really did this…?"
Mo Qiang's eyes narrowed even more as she asked with a questioning voice, " What do you mean by that questioning tone, Daddy?"
" No, I mean …. It's not that I don't trust you…" Wen Gui blundered around while Mo Qiang stared at him with her eyes that were almost pinched.
[ Imagine Anya's expression when she gets suspicious.]
" Heh." Was all Mo Qiang said as she turned over and continued to look at the head of the couch ignoring the four people in the living room.
" No, my baby!" Wen Gui rushed to Mo Qiang as he crouched down on the carpeted floor and then nudged Mo Qiang as he tried to console the hurt Mo Qiang, " Daddy trusts you really very much … it's just that you are way past the awakening age and Daddy was surprised that all. It's not like that daddy does not trust you on this ."
Mo Qiang did not say anything instead she started singing, " I am sick of your fake love, oh this fake love."
" MY BABY! DADDY'S LOVE IS HUNDRED PERCENT PURER JUST LIKE GOLD!"
" There is no gold in this world, are you saying that your love for me is nonexistent, Daddy?"
" QI QI! NOOO!"
Mo Yan and Mo Xifeng: "..." you are making it worse Daddy/ Wen Gui.
