Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 509

Chapter 509: Chapter 509: Lord of the Fox Beast City

On the other hand, after Su Mingxuan left with the cubs, Mo Qingli stayed behind with Wang Mulan.

The room finally grew quiet.

Mo Qingli sat beside her and gently stroked her hair, his movements slow and careful, as if afraid she might break.

"You should not worry about anything else," he said softly. "See... life always gives something back when it takes something away."

Wang Mulan lifted her head and looked at him.

Her eyes were still a little red, but the pain inside them had already softened.

She leaned into his embrace without hesitation, as if she had done it many times before.

Mo Qingli did not move away. Instead, he held her more firmly.

"You still have your daughter now," he continued in a calm, soothing voice. "Su Mingxuan is living well. You do not have to punish yourself anymore."

His voice was steady, but full of warmth.

"You have already suffered enough... for not being able to protect your child back then."

Those simple words struck deep.

For almost twenty years, Wang Mulan had carried that guilt alone.

But now... it felt like something heavy inside her chest was finally loosening. Her fingers slowly gripped his clothes.

Then she whispered, almost uncertainly, "Mo Qingli... why are you so good to me?"

Mo Qingli paused. Then he suddenly laughed. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"You silly woman," he said lightly. "If I am not good to you, then who should I be good to? Other females?"

His teasing tone was obvious.

Wang Mulan stiffened immediately. She pulled back and glared at him. "You dare!"

Mo Qingli laughed even more, clearly amused. He reached out and pinched her cheek.

"You have already become a grandmother," he teased. "Why are you still acting like a young girl?"

Wang Mulan’s face turned red.

She pushed him away and kicked lightly at his leg. "You old man! Get out of my way! What are you doing cuddling me like this?"

She grabbed the fruit he had brought and threw it at him without mercy.

"I am already old! Go find some young female instead!"

Mo Qingli did not get angry at all. He only laughed, his eyes full of amusement.

"Such a temper... only young girls have it," he said.

Then he calmly bent down and picked up the fruits one by one, placing them neatly back onto the stone slab.

His actions only made Wang Mulan feel even more embarrassed.

She turned her face away, pretending not to look at him. But the corners of her lips could not help but curl slightly.

Just as the two of them were still bickering, a hurried voice suddenly came from outside.

"City Lord! Someone from the Fox Beast City has come to meet you!"

The atmosphere changed instantly.

Mo Qingli’s smile faded. His expression turned serious in a moment.

"Who has come?" he asked in a deep voice.

It was completely different from the gentle tone he had just used. Before the guard could answer, Wang Mulan had already stood up.

Mo Qingli glanced at her and gently patted her head.

"You stay here," he said softly. "I will go take a look."
