Chapter 1215

Mo Chuan reached out and tightly gripped her hand.

"Ups and downs, life is full of flavors. You can be assured, I will tightly hold your hand for the rest of my life and taste life's ups and downs with you!"

Chen Ning couldn't help giving a satisfied sigh. She buried her head in Mo Chuan's chest and her lips curled into a sweet smile.

He actually understood her feelings. It was not a waste for her to painstakingly make these four dishes.

Speaking of using dishes as a metaphor for life, it was an inspiration she had read in a book. She suddenly had an idea and tried it out. She wanted to play a joke on Mo Chuan, but she never thought that Mo Chuan would be this smart. Not only did he guess her question, he even gave it a perfect score!

With a husband like this, what more could a woman ask for!

The two of them hugged each other and listened to each other's heartbeats. Their hearts were filled with warmth.

After a while, Chen Ning finally left Mo Chuan's embrace. She pursed her lips and looked at Mo Chuan with a smile.

"Is my cooking better or is the food in the empress dowager's palace better?"

Mo Chuan slowly said, "Do you want to hear the truth?"

"Of course."

"Naturally the food in mother's palace is better." Mo Chuan honestly said. Then he said, "But, I like eating the food you personally made."

He reached out to hug her and kissed her on the cheek.

Chen Ning's face turned red and she angrily said, "Smooth talking!"

The smile on her face disappeared in a flash and she said with a serious expression, "Alright, you're telling the truth. Mo Chuan, I'll only ask once. Do you really think that Chu Shao Yang is the mastermind behind stealing the blueprints?"

Mo Chuan had been waiting for this question from her. He thought about it and gently shook his head.

"Then do you know where I disguised myself as a eunuch and went?"

Mo Chuan shook his head again.

"I went to minister Li Zhixing's palace. You said that I have the ability to see through people's hearts. That's right, I can tell if a person is telling the truth or not from small details. So, what I want to tell you is that the real mastermind is not Chu Shao Yang, but rather Li ….."

She did not finish because Mo Chuan reached out a finger and placed it on her lips, stopping her from continuing.

"Shh, Ning 'er, you don't need to say it, I already know." He gently looked into her eyes. His dark eyes were as deep as a cold lake.

"You know? If you knew it wasn't Chu Shao Yang, why did you send him to prison? You … why are you doing this? "

Chen Ning's eyes opened wide as she looked at him in disbelief.

"I naturally have my reasons for doing this."

"What's the reason?" she asked.

"Ning 'er, don't ask anymore. There are some things you're better off not knowing." Mo Chuan stroked her face and said in a soft voice, "What I can tell you is that I'm not doing this to vent my anger and it's not because of you. Believe me, I, Mo Chuan am not a person who can't distinguish between public and private matters."

Although his voice was soft, his eyes were firm and focused.

Chen Ning suddenly felt that she really couldn't see through him, but she believed every word he said.

"Alright, I won't ask anymore. Mo Chuan, I believe you."

Mo Chuan reached out to pick her up and walked out of the room.

"Where are you carrying me?"

"Don't you trust me? I'm going to sell you, "he answered, laughing.

Because her "trust him" made his heart burst with joy. He couldn't help revealing a smile from the corner of his eyes.

"Are you willing?" She giggled.
