Chen Meilin pursed her lips. Even though it killed her, for the sake of keeping the pride of her leader and mistress, she lowered her head and apologized, "Forgive me, Miss Qiang. I went a bit overboard with my actions. I will note it down and make sure not to cross that line again." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
She had expected Mo Qiang to be dumb like her sister but she was smarter than that. She knew when to let go and when to clench the rein tight, to the point that it was suffocating her. Chen Meilin peeked at Mo Qiang's expression and shuddered.
'I guess I was wrong when I thought that she was the same as my sister,' Chen Meilin gulped nervously while looking at Mo Qiang who stared down at her indifferently. Her sister was a bumbling buffoon. Mo Qiang however, looked like an heir of a prominent family.
Mo Qiang did not say anything for a while causing the entire Team Sun to stiffen with fright, they were afraid that she would turn around and leave. If that happened then Sun Shi would make their lives hell for a very long time, as they refused to do something so simple as comply with her orders.
"Get back to your positions," Mo Xifeng broke the spell as she stepped forward. She did not say anything while Mo Qiang was teaching them a lesson which made a lot of soldiers question her silently.
What was she thinking? Why did she not stand up for them just now?
A few of the soldiers were also dissatisfied with Mo Xifeng but they did not show it on their faces.
Mo Xifeng also knew it but she did not pay attention to it as they were here for work and not to lay down the building blocks of a touching friendship. She turned to look at Mo Qiang and said to her, "That will be enough, Sister. If you go on like this then you will cause a delay in the preparation of the formation."
The expression on Mo Qiang's expression changed. She shrugged and then walked away with her arms crossed behind her head. Mo Qiang remarked, "Even if there is a delay, it won't be because of me. It would be because of some grown-up children who do not know how to put their personal and professional feelings to the side."
She walked over to the boulder that was at the edge of the cliff leaving the entire team flushed with shame.
Mo Xifeng looked at Chen Meilin and the rest of the team who seemed to have been thoroughly scared by Mo Qiang and sighed. She knew that her sister could be one scary little thing if she wasn't smiling.
'That face alone is enough to make someone get scared… on top of that if she was to release that aura,' Mo Xifeng thought with another inwardly sigh. She then looked down at Chen Meilin and the rest of the team before remarking, "I apologize, my sister can be really cold sometimes. But I hope you will understand her as she also has limits for certain things."
This was both a warning and a way out for Chen Meilin and the team members. If they did not understand something so simple then there was no point in even trying.
Fortunately, Chen Meilin and the rest seemed to have understood what Mo Xifeng was trying to do. They nodded and agreed with her, Chen Meilin bowed her head and thanked Mo Xifeng, "We are grateful, Miss Xifeng."
