Chapter 1307: Chapter 1279: How Should This Be Handled

From the moment she saw Mu Hualili, Chen Xiaoqian was dumbfounded, staring at him intently, never looking away.

Nong Yao didn’t understand why Xiaoqian was frozen in place, he thought she was captivated by Hualili’s handsome appearance, so he teased her.

"Are you attracted to this guy? Although the old man has always been dissatisfied with your marriage to Erha, don’t start fantasizing about Hualili. Next time, senior brother will take you to a red-light district to find two handsome guys... This guy is only interested in wood."

Xiaoqian was so shocked by Mu Hualili that she even forgot to banter with the green tea senior brother.

Because Mu Hualili, was clearly the previous life’s...!!!

In her past life, after Xiaoqian made a fortune, she enjoyed collecting antiques and curios, and occasionally attended various auctions, where she befriended someone over time.

This friend had a lot in common with her, their conversations were quite intellectual, and he knew antiques like the back of his hand. Xiaoqian often had tea with him.

Although they had shared interests, they both maintained a sense of mystery. People outside called him Li, and Xiaoqian followed suit, thinking his surname was Li!

Now, she realizes it wasn’t Li, but Lili.

That’s right, this person was Mu Hualili.

Although his appearance had slightly changed from the previous life, Xiaoqian recognized him instantly, it was him!!

On the surface, their relationship in the previous life was just friendship, and they didn’t do anything inappropriate. However, Xiaoqian was clear about one thing in her heart, she owed Mu Hualili.

After reincarnating, she had pondered over what would happen if she met Mu Hualili again in this life.

Saying she didn’t know the previous life’s Mu Hualili liked her would be lying. However, after running away with a child in her previous life, she was indifferent to men, feigning ignorance of people’s affections, while utilizing their resources to seek wooden antiques. Although she wasn’t a good person in her previous life, she had never used anyone in romantic matters—except for Mu Hualili.

She didn’t think it was a bad thing at the time.

No one held a knife by Mu Hualili’s throat making him like her, if he was willing to give, she naturally took advantage.

In this life, she already has Xiaoqiang, who resolved her deep-seated issues and helped her reconcile with the world, no longer using past misfortunes as an excuse to attack the world. With a calmer mindset, reflecting on past actions made her feel particularly guilty.

So when Xiaoqian saw Mu Hualili again, she was momentarily stunned.

Her unusual behavior didn’t escape the notice of her two senior brothers.

"Is the Young Chief resentful about the incident with your friend back then? I didn’t know you were the Young Chief then, my apologies." Mu Hualili thought Xiaoqian was concerned about Shi Yu’s hypnosis incident and took the lead in clarifying.

Qio Yu Xuan announced to others that Xiaoqian was his goddaughter, so everyone at the farm called her the Young Chief, and Xiaoqian naturally called him Dad in front of others, which everyone was used to.

Mu Hualili came prepared, knowing Xiaoqian’s personality would never let him off, yet her reaction still surprised him.

Why were her eyes filled with such complexity?

"It’s nothing... that is..." Xiaoqian took a few seconds to calm her emotions.

An enemy had become someone she owed in a previous life, what should she do about that?

"Forget it, we’re even now. I won’t dwell on past issues, but I hope you don’t do anything bad to me again in the future." Xiaoqian extended her hand and shook hands with Mu Hualili, graciously.

This time, it was Mu Hualili’s turn to be surprised.

"Just like... that?"

He had been prepared for retaliation.

According to his information, Chen Xiaoqian always seeks revenge, with endless means, yet no one who harmed her has ever escaped without retaliation. Was she sincere or was this just for show?

Nong Yao, seeing their strange behavior, asked.

"Did you two have a conflict before? Oh my, that’s too bad. I mean, it’s such a shame. If you two fought, it would entertain me greatly..."

Some people just love to stir things up.

"Fight my head, Lili, are you here to assist with our experiment?"

This nickname made Mu Hualili pause. Isn’t that a bit too familiar?

Even Nong Yao felt a little discontent. Why? Xiaoqian spends the most time with him, arguing daily and often teasing him, yet how had she gotten so chummy with this one she only met once, even with alleged past grievances?

"Wasting time is wasting life, hurry up, I need to get back to the baby as soon as the experiment is done!" prompted Xiaoqian.

You need to be well-prepared to do a good job. With new equipment, Xiaoqian seemed like a tiger with wings, and time flew by as she collected lots of useful data.

Alongside her, Nong Yao and Mu Hualili were there under Qio Yu Xuan’s orders to accompany Xiaoqian, instructed to help as much as needed but not to guide her, letting her come to realizations herself. Even so, her speed impressed them.

During a break, Mu Hualili glanced at Nong Yao, silently asking if he was as skilled when he first started. Nong Yao nodded, then shook his head.

None of the disciples were less skilled than Xiaoqian, but it was different. They grew up on the farm, with family elders in related industries, learning by osmosis. Nong Yao had been by Qio Yu Xuan’s side from a young age, watching him heal people. Xiaoqian grew up in an ordinary family, so her understanding was naturally extraordinary.

Once the experiment was done, Xiaoqian noticed her chest felt full; realizing the time, she knew it wasn’t good, it had been too long.

Feeding her baby, she would naturally feel full after a while. Xiaoqian hurried outside, only to find Yu Minglang waiting with the exquisite Xiaowei.

As soon as Xiaowei saw her mother, she giggled.

"Why are you here?" Xiaoqian asked, taking her daughter.

"Went home at noon to check on our daughter. She was wailing, so since I was passing by, I brought her here."

Yu Minglang nodded to Nong Yao in greeting, his eyes falling on Mu Hualili.

This person clearly stood out from the others in the lab, prompting Yu Minglang to glance his way a few more times.

"Hello, I’m Mu Hualili."

"Mu...?!" Yu Minglang hadn’t forgotten this name. Back then, his wife ground her teeth upon hearing it!

"Have a good chat, I’ll treat everyone to lunch." Xiaoqian patted Yu Minglang’s shoulder, then went with Xiaowei into a small inner lab to nurse.

Yu Minglang turned into little bean eyes watching Xiaoqian, wife, you’re treating an enemy to a meal?

What... neither arsenic nor croton was ready for this.

Xiaowei was probably very hungry, and as soon as they were in the small, empty room, with a quick turn and clothing removed, she eagerly latched on, her fierce little face making Xiaoqian laugh.

Once Xiaowei was nearly satisfied, seeing her still spirited, Xiaoqian considered taking her out. Her gaze flicked to the equipment nearby, and she suddenly had a playful idea.
