Their true feelings revealed: the beastly husbands are working themselves to the bone every night.

Chapter 189 189 Seemingly an Old Friend Returns 5
Su Mo handed a glass of water to the person on the sofa, then asked with a smile, "Have you eaten yet? Would you like me to cook you a bowl of noodles?"

Xuan Qing took the water glass from her and said calmly, "Thank you for your help."

"No trouble."

Su Mo turned and went to the kitchen. She took out some greens from the refrigerator, washed them, and started getting busy.

A video call invitation popped up on my phone.

She casually tapped the screen, and a handsome, sunny face appeared on the screen.

A man's cheerful voice rang out: "I've been a bit busy these past few days and haven't had time to call you. How's your clinic doing?"

Su Mo smiled and nodded: "Yeah, it's alright."

"Once I fly back to Nancheng, I can help you. Did you receive the things I sent you?"

"Cross-border express delivery is always a bit slow, don't worry. Has the thing I sent you arrived yet?"

The person on the other end of the video call was talking non-stop, and Su Mo listened patiently, occasionally responding with a few words.

A voice suddenly sounded behind me: "Dr. Su, where is the hot water?"

Su Mo turned her head and pointed to the corner, indicating that he could do as he pleased.

As Xuan Qing poured the water and went out, her gaze inadvertently drifted to the face in her hand.

It was indeed that familiar face.

He turned and walked out with his water glass in his hand, thinking to himself that her relationship with Longyan didn't seem to have reached that point yet.

At the final moment of her battle with Jiang Wu that day, Long Yan's fate on the destiny chart was already decided. She used all her strength to sever his predetermined destiny line before destroying the destiny chart.

For a long time afterward, Xuanqing kept thinking, if she hadn't had that thought at the last moment, would the ending have been different?

But there are no "what ifs" in this world. Even if she were given another chance, she would still do the same thing.

As I opened the door, I vaguely heard someone on the screen ask, "Is he your patient?"

Su Mo shook her head and smiled, "Neighbor."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Friend."

When Su Mo carried the cooked noodles out, Xuan Qing was reading a newspaper, and the orange cat was asleep beside him.

"Thank you." Xuan Qing reached out and took the chopsticks she offered, expressing his gratitude.

The two remained silent until they finished their meal. He felt it was about time, so he got up to say goodbye.

Su Mo escorted the person to the door, and the person suddenly turned to look at her, saying in a serious tone, "Since we are friends, Dr. Su, you can come to me whenever you are not available."

"For example, if the clinic is too busy, you can call me. You can contact me whenever you need anything."

Su Mo paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay..."

"I'll pick up Daju tomorrow morning; I can bring it with me to my work environment."

Su Mo: "..."

Suddenly, the big orange cat on the sofa came running over, meowing, and rubbed against Xuan Qing's trouser leg.

She seemed to really like his suggestion.

Su Mo squinted slightly and nodded, saying, "Okay."

……

Days passed by, ordinary yet warm, making one yearn for more.

In two months, Xiao Jiu completed the filming of a drama. Although it was only a supporting role, it was the longest role she had ever played.

Today she had some rare free time, so she arranged to meet Fu Ying at Su Mo's clinic.

"Thank you for your hard work these past two months while I was away, Sister Ying. I'll treat you to a meal later!"

Fu Ying chuckled and said, "Maybe you should also call Xuan Qing, after all, it's actually him who's been busy these past two months, not me."

After saying that, she pointed to the fruit in front of her and said, "A sumptuous lunch is delivered every mealtime. Whenever she has free time, she helps Su Mo walk the cat, and she even comes over on weekends to do free labor! She comes to pick people up right on time after work. Tsk, so considerate and thoughtful, it's really hard to refuse her."

Xiao Jiu's eyes lit up: "Does he like Su Mo?"

Fu Ying rolled her eyes at her: "Do you even need to ask?" Su Mo, who had washed her hands, walked over and squinted at her, "What bad things are you saying about me now?"

Xiao Jiu shook her head and said, "No, I was just saying that Xuan Qing likes you."

Su Mo picked up a piece of fruit from the plate, took a bite, and squinted her eyes, saying, "Hmm, I also think he likes me."

"So what do you think?" Xiao Jiu asked excitedly.

Fu Ying raised her hand and flicked her forehead: "Is there even a need to think about it? Such an excellent succubus, of course we should keep the good stuff in the family!"

Su Mo finished the fruit in her hand and walked away with a smile.

Sure enough, Xuanqing's car arrived again just as it was time to leave work.

After watching Su Mo get into the car, Fu Ying chuckled and said, "That was a really ruthless move of his. He seamlessly integrated himself into Su Mo's life. By the time you realize it, it seems like his presence is everywhere in your life, and you can't shake him off."

Xiao Jiu smiled with narrowed eyes: "That's good, that way I won't have to worry about Su Mo when I'm busy. But I still really like her childhood sweetheart, I wonder when he'll be back. He's so busy with work that he disappears without a trace, otherwise he should be the one who gets the better deal."

"He should be back soon, don't worry, he's even more anxious than you are!"

……

Su Mo and Da Ju are having dinner at Xuan Qing's house tonight, and he's cooking.

Lately, it's been like this: when she's not busy, she cooks; if she's busy, he prepares in advance.

Su Mo played with the cat for a while, and the big orange cat ran away from her arms, bumping into something on the coffee table.

She picked it up casually; it was a bottle of inhibitors.

Adult succubi typically go into heat every two to three months.

However, Xuanqing seems to go into heat more often than the average person, and his dosage is also greater than that of ordinary succubi.

When Xuanqing brought out the dishes, he saw Su Mo looking at his bottle of inhibitors.

His gaze darkened slightly, as if he was annoyed that he hadn't packed things away properly.

Su Mo calmly put down the bottle of inhibitor, looked up at him, and said casually, "Perhaps, you should start dating."

She looked up and met his unfathomable eyes.

There seemed to be a strange, ambiguous current flowing through the air.

Su Mo looked up at him and asked, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

The person opposite her suddenly froze, his dark and unfathomable eyes fixed on her.

In an instant, he felt as if his blood was flowing backward, his ears were ringing, and even his breathing became sluggish.

He wasn't really sure what she meant by those words.

Su Mo waited a moment, then sighed and said, "Let's eat."

Perhaps she's overthinking it.

That's really awkward...

She got up and darted into the kitchen, brought out all the dishes, and then started cooking.

Several times, Xuanqing looked at the person opposite her, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopped, but it seemed she didn't want to listen to him now.

After finishing their meal, Su Mo helped clear the dishes and then took the cat home.

Xuanqing turned her head and noticed a new bottle of inhibitor on the coffee table.

Her scent seemed to still linger in the air, those wisps of fragrance easily disturbing his peace of mind.

He put down the medicine bottle in his hand, turned around and walked quickly towards the bathroom.

After a rustling sound, he glanced at the mess in the trash can, looked at his reddened eyes in the mirror, took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

His heat cycles weren't always this frequent; it only started after he met her.

Unable to control the wildly growing emotions in his heart, he was also unable to properly restrain this instinctive heat.
