"He helped you this time, so just this once."
Ultimately, Mo Cang isn't that unreasonable. At the very least, he is clear about gratitude and grudges.
Since Ya Tianxing, in a certain sense, saved Mo Shangjun, it's only right for Mo Shangjun to treat Ya Tianxing to a meal and properly thank him.
"Okay."
Mo Shangjun squinted her eyes and agreed.
If there's this one time, there can be a next time.
From forbidding her from contacting Ya Tianxing to now allowing them to have a meal together, it's a big improvement.
I believe that in the future, when Mo Cang learns about their relationship, he won't immediately think about how to assassinate Ya Tianxing.
"And," Mo Cang paused, his tone somewhat harsh, "your mom got a whiff of what's going on. Next time something similar happens, handle it yourself, don't involve me."
Mo Shangjun shrugged, "Alright."
No need to think about it, Mo Cang was definitely "educated" by Cen Zhi.
