Roxy Shangguan wasn't afraid of him at all. She turned to Damien Gray, smiling sweetly, and asked, "Brother, if it were you, would you choose Uncle Jing or this lady?"
Damien gave her some face, keeping his small face cold and replied coolly, "I wouldn't choose either. One's useless, the other's too noisy!"
Jing Moxhen was completely speechless. In the eyes of these siblings, he really had no value at all!
A sly glint flashed in Roxy Shangguan's eyes—she knew this would happen! She looked up at Ye Shuyang, spread her hands, and said helplessly, "Old man, see? I was right! No one would choose your daughter, so don't blame Uncle Jing. It's entirely because your daughter has no charm. Even if Uncle Jing didn't try to seduce Uncle Gu, Uncle Gu wouldn't like her anyway!"
On hearing this, Jing Moxhen picked her up, looked at her, and frowned, "Who told you I was seducing him?" He tried to recall, but couldn't remember ever doing such a thing. Even if he had, these two little brats couldn't possibly know about it!
Roxy Shangguan glanced at Ethan Gray and Mo Shangguan. Mo Shangguan looked at Ethan Gray, then said innocently, "I definitely didn't teach her!"
Ethan Gray raised an eyebrow, "I wouldn't teach her this either!" He was always thinking of ways to get rid of these two little troublemakers, so how would he have time to teach them such things?
Roxy Shangguan blinked adorably and said, "When Daddy hugs Mommy, he always says she's seducing him. Uncle Jing and Uncle Gu hug all the time too..."
Mo Shangguan rubbed her temples in frustration and shot Ethan Gray a look. Ethan Gray just smiled innocently. These two little brats were everywhere; he couldn't possibly keep an eye on them all the time!
Jing Moxhen looked at Roxy Shangguan suspiciously and asked, "When did you see that?" The Duke and Duchess were often with these two kids, so sometimes it was understandable if they saw something. But he and Han had never behaved inappropriately in front of them, right?
Damien Gray glanced at Roxy Shangguan and spat out two words, "Idiot!"
Roxy stuck out her tongue at that, waved her arms to break free from Jing Moxhen, and flew straight into Mo Shangguan's arms for protection. "Mommy..."
Mo Shangguan pinched her soft little cheeks and said helplessly, "No more sneaking peeks next time!" She looked at the grim-faced Jing Moxhen curiously and asked, "Did you see clearly who was hugging whom?"
This time it was Ethan Gray's turn to feel a headache. "Mo'er, be careful not to teach the baby bad things!"
Roxy's little face was full of mystery as she wrapped her arms around Mo Shangguan's neck, leaning in to whisper, "Mommy, Uncle Jing and Uncle Ethan Gu were rolling around together, even fighting, but they're not as loving as you and Daddy!" Though she whispered, her voice was still loud enough for everyone to hear—especially in the quiet room!
Logan Qian had already recovered from his shock at Ethan Gray suddenly having kids. His eyes sparkled as he looked at Roxy and Damien—these two little ones were just too cute and fun! He wondered if the Guildmaster would let him borrow them for a couple of days.
Jing Moxhen's face was dark. "Roxy Shangguan!" He stared at the innocent-looking child, at a loss for words. To think he'd been spied on by a little kid, and neither he nor Ethan Gu had noticed! Was it their lack of vigilance, or was this seemingly harmless little rascal just too cunning?
Mo Shangguan raised an eyebrow and gently reminded, "Even if you're embarrassed or angry, you can't take it out on a child!" She was only thinking of Jing Moxhen's well-being—if he acted rashly, he'd be the one to suffer!
Jing Moxhen twitched his lips, "Would I dare?" He looked resigned, then glanced at Roxy and muttered, "Whoever marries you in the future will regret it for a lifetime!"
At those words, Roxy suddenly quieted down, her calm expression uncannily resembling Damien Gray's depth, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
Mo Shangguan looked at her thoughtfully. She was actually a little curious—why had Roxy Shangguan never asked to see Quentin Hua since she was born? Did she know something?
To be honest, Mo Shangguan wasn't entirely clear about Roxy's abilities. She only knew the child's talent was exceptional!
Ye Shuyang had been furious earlier, but now seemed completely calm. He ignored Damien Gray and Roxy, and turned to Ethan Gray, still holding firm to his terms. "Ghostmaster, as long as you agree to my conditions, I can tell you right now!"
Yuna Ye remained silent, lost in her own thoughts, a trace of sorrow on her face, as if she hadn't heard Ye Shuyang at all.
Ethan Gray let out a mocking laugh, a hint of impatience in his eyes. Even if Ye Shuyang truly wanted to protect him, it wasn't enough to make him care much. "Master Ye, you seem to be mistaken. Whether or not Ethan Gu marries Miss Ye is his own business. If he wants to, I certainly won't stop him!"
At that moment, Yuna Ye seemed to come to her senses. She glanced at Jing Moxhen, who didn't look threatening at all, and gave a bitter smile. She knew Brother Ethan would never marry her. "Father..."
She wanted to persuade Ye Shuyang to stop insisting on such demands. If he truly angered the Ghostmaster, the consequences could be more than they could bear. She also wanted to tell Ye Shuyang about Ethan Gray's real identity, so he'd feel safe enough to reveal what he knew. But as soon as she began to speak, Ye Shuyang stopped her. "Father knows what he's doing!" His daughter always worried too much about others, but it only made things harder for herself.
Ethan Gray didn't want to waste any more words with him. He was about to say something, but suddenly stopped, turning to look at Damien Gray, who had his eyes closed and seemed to be resting. "I'll leave it to you!"
Ye Shuyang frowned, a hint of confusion in his eyes. He didn't seem to understand what Ethan Gray was doing. Logan Qian couldn't help but glare—was something wrong with the Guildmaster? Did he really mean to let that little kid handle things? Even Jing Moxhen raised an eyebrow, though he knew Damien Gray was special, so he wasn't too surprised.
Roxy Shangguan perked up again, clenching her little fists and beaming as she cheered Damien on, "Brother, you can do it!"
