Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 746

Chapter 746: Chapter 746: Auntie Has Been Found!

Looking at the lively, heartwarming scene, a warm, nostalgic smile slowly appeared on Elder Cang’s aged face.

"It has been a very, very long time since this place was this lively," he said softly, his voice carrying a hint of emotion.

Su Qinglan walked gracefully beside him without interrupting, enjoying the serene atmosphere.

After a long, quiet silence, Elder Cang suddenly began speaking again. "When Lord An Mo’s father and mother were still alive..."

His voice became distant, as though his mind were wandering back through thousands of years.

"The entire estate was always full of life and laughter. His Lordship was still a tiny child back then. He would often run through these very forests, playing tag with the spiritual plant spirits all day until sunset."

A gentle smile appeared on the old man’s face, but... it slowly faded away into a somber shade.

"Everything changed after that unfortunate incident," Elder Cang murmured, his shoulders slumping slightly. "My Lord lost both his father and mother."

Su Qinglan quietly listened, keeping her pace steady. She didn’t interrupt, but she could clearly hear the profound sadness and old grief hidden deep within Elder Cang’s trembling voice.

"From that day onward... Lord An Mo changed," Elder Cang continued quietly.

"He still smiled. He still treated everyone in the estate with kindness. But..." The old man let out a long, heavy sigh. "Most of those smiles were forced. They no longer reached his eyes."

Su Qinglan lowered her gaze, her heart twisting slightly. She suddenly remembered the bright, charming, and teasing smile. An Mo always wore on his handsome face.

She had never imagined that behind his playful demeanor lay such a quiet, deep-seated pain.

Elder Cang’s voice softened even further. "It was only after Lord Xuan Long became his brother and friend that things slowly began to get better. Lord Xuan Long often dragged him outside, fought with him, and made him laugh. If not for him..."

The old man shook his head, a trace of gratitude in his eyes. "I truly don’t know what would have become of Lord An Mo."

Su Qinglan remained silent, her chest feeling a little heavy with sympathy. She had never known there was such a heartbreaking past hidden behind An Mo’s warm, flirtatious smile.

Just then, the soft sound of tiny, rapid footsteps broke the quiet atmosphere.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

A chubby, adorable little girl came running down the mossy path toward them with a bright, beaming smile!

The moment Su Qinglan saw her, her eyes lit up in immediate recognition. "You’re..."

It was the sweet little girl she had met back on that mermaid island! She vividly remembered how An Mo had said that he was her uncle and taking care of her.

The chubby little girl stopped happily right in front of Elder Cang, her cheeks puffed out like sweet buns. "Grandpa Cang!"

Elder Cang smiled kindly, bending down slightly. "My little princess."

Only then did Su Qinglan notice another figure walking calmly behind the child.

It was a tall, handsome man wearing elegant, dark robes. His handsome facial features looked somewhat similar to An Mo’s, but his aura was noticeably calmer, more reserved, and remarkably mature.

The man walked over with steady, dignified strides before respectfully bowing toward Su Qinglan.

Elder Cang immediately stepped forward to introduce him with pride.

"My Lady, this is Young Master Shen Mochen. He is Lord An Mo’s eldest brother...the son of Lord An Mo’s second beast father."

Su Qinglan was slightly surprised. So this is An Mo’s elder brother!

She politely nodded with a warm smile. "It’s a pleasure to meet you, Young Master Shen Mochen."

The handsome man smiled gently, bowing once again with refined grace.

"The pleasure is all mine, my lady. I have finally had the chance to meet the beautiful female who has completely captured my little brother’s heart."

A faint, rosy blush immediately bloomed on Su Qinglan’s cheeks! She found herself at a loss for words, completely unprepared for such a direct, complimentary greeting from An Mo’s family.

On the other hand, the chubby little girl tilted her round head, locking her big, watery eyes on Su Qinglan without so much as a blink.

Silence stretched between them.
