Chapter 722: Untitled
After Su Ruhua returned to her room alone, she still hoped Su Ruyu would forgive her. If Su Ruyu weren’t willing to see her, she could remain in her room. Since it took much to see Su Ruyu, Su Ruhua would never leave.
If they bid farewell, one wondered how much longer it would be until they met again.
Ruyu...
She utterly regretted her previous mistakes, but there was no turning back. One wrong thought was enough for a mistake that lasted a lifetime, and she did not expect the outcome to be so serious.
Mo Shitian wanted to look for Su Ruyu but was stopped by Eleven. He looked at Eleven sinisterly, and Eleven plainly said, “Master has instructed that nobody shall disturb her.”
She was firm, and Mo Shitian coldly smiled in return. “If she can’t stop me, what makes you think you can stop me?”
Ye Wei, who was by the side, laughed and said, “Daddy Mo, I forgot to tell you that Eleven is a cyborg. That is why Old Witch had her stop you. Do you think she can’t stop you?”
Cyborg?
Mo Shitian harrumphed loudly. The Mo brothers had a very dejected look. They were at a loss as to how to manage these new dynamics. They never had fatherly love since young because their father was only harsh toward them.
Mo Shitian was nowhere as kind as Wolf was toward them, but they, interestingly enough, wanted his love. It was perhaps because blood is thicker than water. While they were way past the age they needed fatherly love, they still wanted it deep in their hearts.
But they did not know how to face Mo Shitian and Su Ruyu.
They were unable to accept this new relationship simply because some things were too deep-seated. When they were much younger, Mo Shitian missed Su Ruyu like crazy and would become a lunatic from time to time. In the Mo brothers’ opinion, they were certain from young that this woman was behind their father’s outbursts, their mother’s vagrant streak, and the misfortune that befell their family.
Little did they expect the truth to hurt so much.
Neither Mo Ye nor Mo Jue could accept it.
“How about you go to the adjacent courtyard and rest?” Su Man suggested. Su Ruyu’s courtyard was adjacent to a laboratory she personally designed. There was a resting room in the laboratory that had not been touched.
“That won’t be necessary!” Mo Shitian turned him down. He would rather watch over Su Ruyu outside her door. If she wanted peace, he would give her that peace.
“Daddy Mo, do you really have no idea of what exactly happened back then?” Ye Wei asked curiously.
Mo Shitian looked at Ye Wei coldly, but Ye Wei laughed and shrugged her shoulders. In return, Mo Shitian coldly harrumphed and turned away without answering Ye Wei. While he indeed had no idea of what happened those few days, he...
He somewhat knew that it was because he was drunk. When Su Ruyu asked him about it, he really did not know how to answer her as it sounded so bizarre. Moreover, he had no chance to tell Su Ruyu that back then.
He did not know that he had bedded Su Ruhua and also did not know that Su Ruhua was pregnant. When he received news that Su Ruhua had children and how Su Ruyu’s children had died, he somehow felt that his drunkenness had f***ed things up big time. Su Ruyu then would never be able to hear his explanation.
The death of the child, along with what she knew, impacted her so greatly she would rather hunt him to the ends of the earth and perish with him. Even if he told her he was drunk and made a mistake, he could not exactly describe why.
If he could turn back time, he would not allow all these to happen. His haughtiness and doggedness about her in his youth led to the situation spiraling out of control.
Later on, Su Ruyu’s hatred toward him was not only because of his affair with Su Ruhua but also because of how the Su family was exterminated. Whether he explained that no longer mattered.
The massacre of the Su family was what drove Ruyu to want to perish with him.
“Since Old Witch wants her peace, let’s move to the great hall, shall we? Daddy Mo, I guess you really want to know how Old Witch lived on the island,” Chu Li said.
Mo Shitian’s gaze slightly moved toward the courtyard and nodded. Everybody gave a thumbs-up for Chu Li’s quick wit. It was afraid this was the only reason that could convince Mo Shitian to leave.
Just how capable was Mo Shitian? Eleven secretly wondered. While she was indeed a cyborg, she took substantial effort to overcome Old Witch.
If Mo Shitian was even more capable than Old Witch, that was nothing short of terrifying.
Mo Shitian turned around and his eyes landed on the Mo brothers. As father and children were never close, the Mo brothers respected and feared him to the point neither of them was able to display the due care and respect toward the other.
Mo Shitian’s gaze, however, softened by much. It was no longer how he used to look at them.
The Mo brothers were somewhat unable to reconcile with how whose children mattered so much. If they were Su Ruhua’s children, he would have treated them as dirt; if they were Su Ruyu’s children, could he have treated them as some treasure?
Mo Shitian did not love them per se, but they were related to Su Ruyu.
“You two had better not be of the opinion I do not know what’s on your mind. Bleach your minds of all that junk that’s in it. Give her such a gaze again and you will know what will happen to you!” Mo Shitian solemnly replied with utmost impoliteness. Everybody stuck their tongues out and mourned for the Mo brothers again. Anybody growing up under such a father would be nothing short of terrified.
“Are you two dumb?” Somewhat brimming with anger, Mo Shitian asked when he saw the Mo brothers remain silent.
“Got it,” Mo Ye said.
“...Got it,” Mo Jue said.
“Oh, master, it would be nice if you’re more polite. If our master sees how you treat them, she would be so heartbroken.” Ye Wei chuckled from the side, trying to defuse the situation for the Mo brothers.
While their obedience was indeed a rare occurrence, it was quite unbearable to watch.
Ye Wei calling Mo Shitian ‘master’ undoubtedly made his day. The anger on his face slightly eased, and he finally looked better. “The two of you had better listen up. Su Ruyu is your mother, and it’s not her fault that she was not by your sides. Likewise, me mistreating you two isn’t her fault either. However you treat me, even if you do not consider me to be your father, does not matter. However, if you dare to be the slightest impolite toward her and not call her ‘mother’ or treat her likewise, you know the consequences.”
Everybody stuck out their tongues. ‘Goodness, Daddy Mo, you are so bada**!’
