Chapter 436: 126: Mo Baichuan’s Strategy, Big Brother’s Marriage Proposal_4

Upon hearing this, a hint of guilt appeared on Mo Baichuan’s face, “Rest assured, I am not the kind of person who shirks responsibility.” Some things were done and couldn’t be undone. Li Xianxian was an innocent young woman who had followed him; it would be unfathomable for Mo Baichuan to deny her now.

Li Xianxian said solemnly, “Baichuan, I don’t want you to take responsibility just for the sake of it. Although we are boyfriend and girlfriend now, I can tell that you don’t really like me. So, let’s break up.”

Break up?

Mo Baichuan was astounded. He had never expected Li Xianxian to bring up breaking up.

If this was truly a trap set by Li Xianxian, would she propose breaking up?

Who would ever gamble with their own reputation and dignity?

For a moment, Mo Baichuan suddenly found the situation confusing.

“Are you sure you want to break up?” Mo Baichuan turned his head to look at Li Xianxian.

“Yes, I’m sure.” Li Xianxian nodded firmly, “Let’s break up. I will move out of the base as soon as possible, and that way there will be no pressure on either of us.”

“Alright.” Mo Baichuan nodded, “Then let’s break up.”

He was curious if Li Xianxian would really move out!

As Li Xianxian curved her lips into an imperceptible smile, a flicker of disdain flashed in her eyes. So, this was how lightly he took her in his heart.

He didn’t even try to keep her when faced with a breakup.

Luckily, she was prepared for this.

This time, she was determined to hold on to Mo Baichuan’s heart tightly.

“Goodbye.” Li Xianxian wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and moved towards the door. Halfway there, she turned back to look at Mo Baichuan, “Don’t worry, I will leave quietly without causing any disturbance.”

After leaving Mo Baichuan’s dorm, Li Xianxian went to her own dorm, changed her clothes, and took her luggage to leave the base.

Without any reluctance or regret.

Just as Li Xianxian left, the dorm phone rang. Mo Baichuan walked over and picked it up, “Hello.”

“Baichuan, it’s me.” Li Ting’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

Mo Baichuan cleared his throat, then asked, “Tingzhi, what’s up?”

Li Ting asked with concern, “You and sister-in-law were all right last night, right?”

“Why do you ask?” Mo Baichuan furrowed his brows slightly.

Li Ting then asked, “Baichuan, do you really have no recollection of what happened last night?”

“Last night… what exactly happened?”

Li Ting continued, “This is what happened: last night you drank too much and you were holding sister-in-law’s hand tightly, not letting it go. In the end, you started acting unruly. There was no other way, so sister-in-law and I brought you back to your dorm. But you kept causing a ruckus after returning to the dorm…”

Upon hearing this, Mo Baichuan’s expression grew increasingly dark.

So it really was him who forced Li Xianxian…

“Hello, Baichuan, are you still listening?”

Mo Baichuan finally came back to his senses, “I have some other things to do; I’ll hang up first.”

After hanging up the phone, Mo Baichuan went to Li Xianxian’s dorm, only to discover that Li Xianxian had already taken all her clothes and left.

…

Meanwhile, somewhere else.

Mo Qishen came to Jinghua Village early in the morning and the villagers greeted him warmly.

“Xiaomo is here.”

Mo Qishen graciously replied with “Hello uncle”, “Hello aunt”, even handing out cigarettes to the men which made all the elderly men and women beam with smiles.

In no time, he reached the courtyard of the Ni family.

Mo Qishen stood in front of the courtyard and politely knocked on the door.

“Who’s there?” Ni Cuihua came out. Seeing Mo Qishen, she immediately replied brightly, “Xiaomo is here, come in.”

“Aunt, where’s Yangyang?” Mo Qishen looked around the courtyard.

“Yangyang went to the river to do laundry.” Ni Cuihua replied.

Doing laundry at the river?

Mo Qishen frowned sympathetically. Hadn’t he bought a washing machine already?

Why did Ni Yang still need to go to the river to do laundry? Hand washing was so laborious!

“I’ll go find Yangyang.” Mo Qishen continued.

Ni Cuihua replied, “I can show you the way.”

Mo Qishen shook his head, “Don’t worry, aunt. I know the way.”

Ni Cuihua smiled and said, “Fine then, you can go.”

Mo Qishen turned and headed out. In no time, he arrived by the river.

He saw Ni Yang standing by the river with her pants rolled up, busy washing clothes. Her actions exposed a bit of her slender, fair waist against the black cloth, making it noticeably eye-catching.

A few ducks were swimming around near the edge.

Mo Qishen’s adam’s apple bobbed visibly. He took off his shoes and quietly made his way towards Ni Yang.
