Miracle Doctor Baby

Chapter 34: 34. Shangguan Che

”Miss, you are?” The shopkeeper looked at Mo Jiuli, cautiously asking.

Very few people knew their master’s name, and Mo Jiuli and Xue Feng did not seem like ordinary people, so the shopkeeper spoke politely...

”My last name is Mo,” Mo Jiuli said politely.

”So it’s Miss Mo. Miss, please follow me. Our master has been waiting for Miss Mo for a long time,” the shopkeeper immediately said with a respectful tone after hearing her name.

Mo Jiuli nodded and, together with Xue Feng, followed the shopkeeper while others cast their curious gazes as they went.

Others might not know, but the housekeeper, young lady, and madam of the shop did know that the identity of the owner of this luxurious silk store was not simple. Just seeing that there was only one silk store in the entire Fengyun City said a lot...

It’s not that no one else tried to open a silk store in Fengyun City, but in the end, they all closed down for unknown reasons. The only one that remained was this luxurious silk store...

Even the Royal Family of the Fengyun Empire had to revere the store’s owner a little...

It was said that no one had ever seen the owner of the luxurious Silk Store...

Mo Jiuli was not aware of what people outside thought. They followed the shopkeeper directly to the back of the silk store, just outside a quiet small courtyard. The shopkeeper turned and said, ”Miss Mo, our master is inside. Please enter...”

”Thank you,” Mo Jiuli thanked the shopkeeper as she walked in with Xue Feng and Baobao.

”Jiuli, you came,” along with a pleasant voice, a man dressed in blue came from inside.

The man wore a blue silk robe with blue trim at the cuffs and collar. His hair was casually tied up in a bun, topped with a jade crown. He appeared elegant with a hint of carefree rebellious charm and the pride of a noble...

He was quite handsome, with thick eyebrows and bright eyes. He seemed to be a bit of a playboy, but there was a depth to his clear eyes that let people know at once that he was far from being as simple as he seemed...

This man was none other than Shangguan Che, who Mo Jiuli saved by chance a few years ago. As for his true identity, Mo Jiuli did not know...

Mo Jiuli only knew that he was the owner of Fengyun City’s luxurious silk store. She never asked about the rest and didn’t care...

However, Shangguan Che occasionally provided Mo Jiuli with some information when she needed it over the years, which left a good impression on her. Although their relationship was not particularly deep, he was arguably the first person she had met in this different world...

”Yeah, you’ve been here the whole time?” Mo Jiuli asked with a smile.

”Yes, I’ve been here recently,” Shangguan Che said with a perfect smile.

”Come in and sit down. Who are they?” Shangguan Che asked, looking at Xue Feng and Baobao in his arms.

”This is Xue Feng, and she is my daughter, Baobao,” Mo Jiuli smiled faintly and then said to Baobao, ”Baobao, call him Uncle Shangguan.”

”Hello, Uncle Shangguan!” Baobao looked at Shangguan Che and cutely greeted him. She had heard her mother mention him before, but it was her first time seeing him. She thought he was quite handsome, as Baobao said in her heart...

Xue Feng also politely nodded to Shangguan Che as a greeting...

But Shangguan Che was so stunned by Mo Jiuli’s daughter statement that he was dumbstruck and forgot to react...

Mo Jiuli knew that Shangguan Che would be speechless when she mentioned her daughter, so she didn’t rush him and instead casually sat down at the stone table in the courtyard...

”Mom, what’s wrong with Uncle Shangguan?” Baobao slid down from Xue Feng’s arms, came to Mo Jiuli’s embrace, and asked uncertainly while looking at the dazed Shangguan Che.

”It’s nothing, he’ll be fine in a moment,” Mo Jiuli replied with a smile.

”Jiuli, he didn’t know about Baobao before, did he?” Xue Feng asked, raising his eyebrows. Although it was a question, his tone was affirmative...

”Yes, I didn’t mention it before,” Mo Jiuli said indifferently.

When she saved Shangguan Che, she did not expect that there would be any connection between them afterward, so she wouldn’t reveal everything...

If Shangguan Che hadn’t insisted on showing gratitude and given her a Sound Transmission Stone, perhaps they wouldn’t have had any interaction...

The Sound Transmission Stone was a special crystal stone used for communication on the Lingtian Continent. Although it wasn’t a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, not everyone could own one. It was generally only available for sale in large shops, and each was quite expensive...

Mo Jiuli did not know this, otherwise, she would have guessed that Shangguan Che’s identity was not simple...

When Shangguan Che came to his senses, he saw that Mo Jiuli was already sitting nearby with her companions. Feeling slightly embarrassed, he sat down and asked, ”Jiuli, is Baobao really your daughter?”

”Of course, I am Mom’s daughter! Who else would dare to be Mom’s daughter?” Before Mo Jiuli could answer, Baobao interjected.

”Ahem, no, I... I just find it surprising...” Shangguan Che said, feeling uncharacteristically embarrassed.

He thought Mo Jiuli was still a young girl and didn’t expect that she would already have a child. Looking at Baobao’s age, she should be about 4 or 5 years old. That meant Mo Jiuli already had her when they first met. He hadn’t heard a word about it in all these years. Did she not think of him as a friend?

Shangguan Che pondered, and for some reason, he felt very uncomfortable when he thought that Mo Jiuli had not considered him a friend...

Mo Jiuli, unaware of Shangguan Che’s change in demeanor, said with a smile, ”Yes, it’s quite surprising...”

”By the way, was what you said earlier true?” Mo Jiuli asked, looking at Shangguan Che.

Seeing that Mo Jiuli didn’t explain why she hadn’t told him about Baobao, Shangguan Che felt a little disappointed. However, when he heard Mo Jiuli’s question, his expression became serious and said, ”Yes, it’s true. General Mo has been bedridden for some time now, and it’s said that even the President of the Alchemy Guild can’t do anything about his condition, let alone the Imperial Physicians in the palace. They say that only if Heavenly Master Lord could help, but his whereabouts have always been mysterious, and it’s not easy to invite him...”

”How did it happen?” Mo Jiuli frowned and asked in a low voice.

”The person I arranged to monitor the situation had sent back a message saying that General Mo may have been poisoned. However, this news hasn’t been made public yet...” Shangguan Che replied.

Although he didn’t know the relationship between Mo Jiuli and General’s Mansion, ever since Mo Jiuli asked him to keep an eye on the situation there, he immediately informed Mo Jiuli after assigning people to investigate. But every time, Mo Jiuli had no reaction...

This made him feel that perhaps the information he had gathered couldn’t help her at all. Therefore, two years ago, he arranged for his own confidants to sneak into the General’s Mansion...
