The boy chuckled again fir nth time tonight and slowly slapped her open mouth which cause her to close her mouth un embarrassment.
After it felt like a year has passed, Xia Yao Xing turned her face to look at him and said, "I should go... They must be waiting for me."
Hearing her, young master Mo got out of his so called 'I love everything tonight' mode as he panicked, "Why!" He shouted at first before he went silent for a while and then asked with concern, "Xiao Xing, why do you want to go back there. Can't you... stay with me?" As he asked he looked at her confused look. He thought she might me confused at his identity and said again, "Don't worry. I am capable. I'm the young master of Mo family. You don't have to starve with me around. My family is rich and has so much money. We can also play with each-" As he said so he got excited and held her right hand that is not on drip
Xia Yao Xing looked into his eyes and remembered the treatment she got in a wealthy family. She didn't want to experience it again. She said with a disappointed face as she interrupted him, "I don't want to..." as she slowly looked down
When he heard it he was a little confused and asked her, "What? What it is that you don't want?" He was gentle and tried to look down at her face in order to figure out the things in her mind as he asked.
Xia Yao Xing looked up at him again and said, "I don't want a rich family. I just want my family. I will live with them."
Young master Mo contemplated for a while and asked again, "You would rather live with the family which treated you like this than stay with me?" his tone was gentle but with a hint of disappointment. It didn't miss Xia Yao Xing's eyes as well. Although she was just 10 or nearly 11 years old she was definitely not dumb when talking to people. This the reason why she was ahead of children her age. She could easily solve a maths sum that a 16 years old student could found difficult, Understanding emotions was a child play for her.
She can see that the boy that Called himself young master of Mo family truly cared for her, but it's not her fault that she got traumatized by a wealthy family already and hence doesn't want to be in one again. And also... She has grandfather.
She extended her right hand and held the hand that was just about to leave her hand. When the boy looked at her she said with a sweet smile, "I'm just waiting for my real family. Mom... Mom said she would come and definitely take me away so I have to wait for her. There is also also grand father. He is sick."
She pulled his hand closer and said, "Also... I don't like them who would spend their family money. You have to earn it yourself if you want me to stay with you." as she said so she made a cute puppy look and smiled.
Young master Mo could now understand her and asked, "Then do you promise me... That if I earn that money my self you will marry me?"
When she heard this she said with a childish and cute voice as if she is the only one intelligent present in that room, "marriage is a big thing! I can't promise you that! Mummy will surely scold me... If found out." as she said she pouted.
He chuckled and said, "At least promise to stay with me forever."
She looked at him and nodded, saying, "This is possible I promise you." After saying she freed his hand from her grip, extemded her hand that was not on drip and showed him her pinky finger as she demanded, "Then promise me that you will stay with me forever too."
He smiled and curled his pinky finger around her pinky finger. "I promise." He said.
Xia Yao Xing looked at him with a bright smile and said, "Can you get a pen and a peace of paper?" He nodded and went to bring them.
He place the paper and pen in front of her and asked, "Why do you need them?"
Xia Yao Xing said, "Let's make a wish to stay forever." as she smiled brightly. 'I would never forget that smile on her face', young master Mo thought to himself.
He then looked confused and asked, "How?"
Xia Yao Xing extend the peace of paper and pen toward him and said, "Write down whatever I say on this paper."
Young master Mo looked at her in confusion but her cute face made him do whatever she said. He held the pen and paper and was ready to write.
Xia Yao Xing started calling...
"I, young master Mo and I, Xia Yao Xing. We both are writing this as our wish to stay forever with each other. We will stay forever with each other when I, young master Mo earn money myself and I, Xia Yao Xing go leave this place to go back to my own family ."
She then said to him, "Now tore this paper in two peaces and give one to me, have one for yourself. And yes! Tear it like this! " she said this and showed him with her hand gestures hie to shoe it, all this while her eyes were bright with happiness.
Young master Mo was laughing inside at this childish letter. As he did what she said. Without even asking anything.
She looked at him and said happily, "This is our method of making a wish. When I was in village I used do same with Xiao Rui and Ah_Zhi." she thought for a while and said again, "oh! I didn't told you right? They are my best friends." she was very energetic at the mention of her friends.
He nodded at her excitement and talked more about her friends then took out another locket and showed it to her, "See ee have the same lockets." He then opened the locket using Verbal password and put his paper inside the diamond. He did same with the girls locket and looked at her. "Now it's safe." They both smiled at each other with understanding.
The Xia Yao Xing and young master Mo chatted for a while before he again secretly took her to her room. He said good bye to her.
Xia Yao Xing looked at him and said, "Brother Mo... Please come again."
Young master Mo looked at her he smiled and said, "I will. Take care..." He turned around and left.
He was confused how could a family don't even search for a missing child.
He reached at his family mansion and went straight to his grandfather's room, he knocked at his room. After some time he heard his grandfather saying, "come in."
He went in and bowed in front of his grandfather. "Grandfather." He addressed him.
Elder Mo looked at the boy and asked, "It's so late what are you doing here?"
"Seems like you have just got back home. What were you doing out side?" He asked again as he glazed at his grandson who didn't even changed his shoes before coming into his room 'what a disrespectful brat?' he thought to himself. But inside his heart thus boyq is the only one he loved dearly.
Young master Mo looked at his grandfather and said with determination, "Grandfather I don't think you do not know where I was." He waited for his grandfather's response and said again, "I want to study abroad and create my own legacy."
Elder Mo was shocked at first but later he understood that it's the same thing he needed from his grandchild. But the thing that held him back from agreeing is, that girl... He was doing this merely for a girl? His grandfather thought as he said, "NO!"
Young master Mo knew what his grandfather was implying by refusing but said again, "It's not just for her. I promise you, I will surely inherit our family legacy. But it's just that I want to win her challenge." His words were not exactly what we're in his mind, He just wanted to persuade his grandfather. He never took Xia Yao Xing's words as a challenge. He simply would do whatever she asked for.
Elder Mo's eyebrows went up as he asked, "Why should I believe you?"
Young master Mo said, "I won't lie to you."
He was right he never lied to his grandfather but it's not the time to reveal his love towards Xia Yao Xing in front of his grandfather. His grandfather already new about him and Xia Yao Xing, but he didn't want anything more for his grandfather to know.
He couldn't trust anyone when it comes to Xia Yao Xing. Even his grandfather.

The next day young master Mo took a flight to US and went to look for his aim. He couldn't wait to come back for his girl.
He already told Xia Yao Xing about his departure to US when they were in the hospital. He was sure to persuade his grandfather. He also knew... she would wait for him and told her that he will come back for her.
