Chapter 56 - Getting Jealous

London knew about the feelings Alexander had for Mo Xi, but she knew that Mo Xi doesn't like Alexander. She understood that love can't be forced, so even though she felt very sad for her son, she wouldn't ask Mo Xi to force herself to be with Alexander. Furthermore, Mo Xi was like a daughter to her, she wanted Mo Xi to be happy as well. Now that Mo Xi had found her happiness, she was very happy for her.

"You will meet the destined one too. Eve always said that everyone has their own perfect match. Even if you love this person now, you will be able to give up on that person and fall in love with the person that is your perfect match in the future."

"I know. Don't worry, Mom. I am happy enough to see that she is happy. To me, nothing matters more than that."

"I'm glad that you can understand."

"Mom, Eve told me that love could be a habit. Do you know what she meant?"

Hearing what Alexander said, London was delighted because she knew that Mo Xi wouldn't say such things without a reason. Of course, London knew what Mo Xi meant because they met someone like that before!

"She meant that you might be loving her now because you have been loving her for too long that it became a habit. The fact that she told you this, it probably means that she saw some changes in you already."

"Is that true?" Alexander asked while feeling an emptiness him.

"Be it true or not, I am sure Eve knows how you feel better than you do. Furthermore, be it true or not, as you said, if she is happy, you are happy. Then, does it matter, if what she said is true? If both of you are happy, we are all happy."

"Mm."

…

Alexander and London continued talking for a while more on what happened earlier on. He then called the others that called him and Mo Xi earlier on and told them what happened.

1 hour later. In the tent.

"Little Xi… You are awake…"

"Mo Chen?" Mo Xi looked at Jing Mo Chen who was looking at her dearly.

"Mm…"

"I am sorry… I made you worried…"

"I'm sorry… I was late…" Jing Mo Chen said weakly before tears rolled down his face.

Jing Mo Chen was a man that doesn't show his emotions easily, neither was he someone that gets sad easily. However, when it comes to things related to Mo Xi or Mo Xi herself, he would get anxious, angry, sad, happy and worried.

"It wasn't your fault…" Mo Xi said as her hand reached to wipe off the tears on Jing Mo Chen's face.

"Are you hurt?" Mo Xi was worried that Jing Mo Chen was hurt while saving her.

"I am fine, not hurt at all."

"How're the others? Are they hurt?"

Although Mo Xi knew that they had already placed the beads on them so they shouldn't have gotten serious injuries, she felt that the criminals might have concentrated their attacks on one person. That person is the girl that helped Alexander, the girl was the only female in group A, so the criminals probably concentrated on her.

As Mo Xi suspected, the criminals did concentrate their attacks on the girl, which was why the girl had the worst injuries compared to the others.

"Most of them are fine. However, one of them was injured more badly, but they are all tended to already," Jing Mo Chen could tell that the girl was injured, but Mo Xi needed the medical attentions more, so he only bothered about Mo Xi. However, he did hear from Alexander that everyone had been tended to, including the girl that helped Alexander.

"Senior sister! Are you alright?!" Bai Su Fei asked anxiously when she rushed into the room.

"Yes… I am alright…"

"Liar…"

"Huh?"

"You can't even reply properly…"

Mo Xi chuckled and said, "I am really fine now, the surgery was a success, right?"

Bai Su Fei cried immediately, "But you are still hurting!"

Mo Xi laughed weakly and said, "There. There. I am feeling better already…"

Mo Xi patted Bai Su Fei's head to calm her. Bai Su Fei continued to sob while Jing Mo Chen looked at Mo Xi and Bai Su Fei questioningly.

Bai Su Fei felt an intense gaze directed at her and she turned towards the source.

When she saw the look in Jing Mo Chen's eyes, she felt guilty for a second because Jing Mo Chen looked at her as though she was a third party.

Bai Su Fei coughed nervously and asked as she pointed to Jing Mo Chen, "Uh… Senior sister… this is?"

Mo Xi turned towards where Bai Su Fei was pointing and almost laughed out loud when she looked into Jing Mo Chen's eyes.

"This is my husband."

"Ah?! Aren't you and Professor Alex a pair?!"

Sh*t!

Mo Xi cursed in her brain when she felt the air around Jing Mo Chen dropped below zero degrees Celsius.

"No! No! No!" Mo Xi denied quickly.

"No? You are our officially recognized couple in the university!"

Mo Xi almost cried out loud when she heard that.

Please, stop saying… I still want to get out here alive!

"No, we are just very good friends," Mo Xi said nervously.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat anything?" Bai Su Fei asked after she stopped sobbing.

"Not really… Don't worry about me, alright? Go help the others, don't forget what our mission is." Mo Xi said as she smiled at Bai Su Fei.

"Mm. I will listen to what you say!" Bai Su Fei nodded and went out.

"What is going on between you and her?" Jing Mo Chen asked while sulking slightly.

Mo Xi looked into Jing Mo Chen's eyes and laughed.

"You are really getting jealous? She is a girl. I am straight."

Jing Mo Chen gave Mo Xi a look that says, "I can get jealous even if it was a dog."

"HAHAHA! Ouch!" Mo Xi's wounds hurt because she laughed a bit too hard.

"Are you alright?! Where are you hurting?! Brother! Sister-in-law!" Jing Mo Chen started asking and shouting while looking at Mo Xi.

"I am fine, don't worry."

"What?! What's wrong?!" Jing Mo Teng and Ling Xuan dashed into the room.

"I am fine, the wounds hurt a little because I laughed a bit too hard…" Mo Xi said embarrassedly.

"Aye… You have to be more careful."

"Mo Chen, you should be more caring."

Jing Mo Teng and Ling Xuan said.

"Mm. Understood! Thank you for saving me!" Mo Xi said.

"Nothing to thank us for! Rest well. Once you have rested well enough, we will then question you two what was going on."

"Mm!" Mo Xi replied firmly.

Jing Mo Tend and Ling Xuan smiled before they went out to resume their work.
