Guide to tame my villainous husbands-Chapter 1398: Reinstated---Mo Yan doesn’t want it.
Mo Qiang raised her head and looked at the mer who had barged inside the ward. For the first time in her second life, she saw Fu Qi Hong looking so frantic. His hair was dripping with water, his face was flushed and his clothes were scrunched up and ruffled with many creases.
The mer was panting heavily as he stared at her with a tearful gaze.
"Mo Qiang!" Fu Qi Hong shouted as he rushed inside and threw himself in her arms.
The nurse who stood on the side dropped the machine in her hands with a clatter. Her eyes flickered to Mo Qiang, and then at the hottest mer, of the Imperial Star, her mouth fell agape as she stared at Mo Qiang.
Though she didn't say anything, the subtitles on her face were so loud that even if she didn't say anything, Mo Qiang knew that the woman was silently asking how she pulled the most beautiful mer of the Imperial Star.
Mo Qiang pursed her lips and turned her head to one side, not wanting to look at the woman's popping eyes.
She looked at her as if her eyes were about to fall out of her sockets.
Fu Qi Hong, however, was not bothered by the gazes that were directed at them. He pulled away and looked at Mo Qiang with a tearful gaze before saying to her, "You —do you even know how scared I was? You really terrified me to the point that I nearly lost my mind."
After he finished speaking, he glared at Mo Qiang as if he were silently questioning her audacity to fall into a coma.
"Your Highness—"
"Hong'er," Fu Qi Hong corrected her with a glare.
Mo Qiang: "..."
She parted her lips, and just as she was about to call him Your Highness again, the mer narrowed his eyes and said, "If you dare to call me Your Highness again, I will... I will kiss you."
Mo Qiang: "..."
"...Hong'er," she called the mer softly.
The second she finished speaking, the mer smiled at her. And as his lips curled up in a soft smile, Mo Qiang felt her heart skip a beat. She blinked her eyes and looked away, feeling a bit embarrassed. In the past, Fu Qi Hong's smile never made her heart flutter; after all, she had never paid attention to him as a mer but as a subordinate or higher-up.
But ever since she started observing him as someone she adored, even his smallest actions caused her heart to skitter.
Mo Qiang inhaled slowly and then turned to look at the mer with a soft smile. She was looking for ways to comfort the mer, but when she opened her mouth, she said something completely different.
"Why did you come looking for me?"
Fu Qi Hong heard her question and furrowed his brows when he noticed something strange about her tone. Was she that impatient with him? Was she rejecting him with a cold attitude?
The grievance and worry turned into strong resentment as he questioned, "Can't I come to look for you? Do you even know how worried I was these past few days?"
"..." Mo Qiang blinked her eyes, feeling wronged; she really didn't mean it like that.
She thought about it for a second before saying to Fu Qi Hong, "I didn't mean it like that."
"Then what did you mean?" Fu Qi Hong asked with his arms crossed and eyes boring at the top of her head. "What else did you mean by those words?"
"I was just—" Mo Qiang wanted to make an excuse but under Fu Qi Hong's gaze, she could only lower her head as she said to him, "I apologise."
Only then did Fu Qi Hong's expression get a bit better. He then sat down and said to Mo Qiang, "I don't mean to blame you." He reached out and held her hand on her own before heaving a sigh. He said to her, "It's my fault; if I was a bit more careful, then nothing would have happened to you."

All the calmness and composure, along with the anger, had disappeared.
"What do you mean it is your fault?" Mo Qiang shook her head and replied, "It was my decision to save your life, You—Hong'er." she changed her words when the mer turned and glared at her. "You have nothing to apologise to me."
Fu Qi Hong leaned down and placed his head on her shoulder before saying to her, "I know you did it because you felt obliged to save my life, but I would like to think you did it because I matter to you... Can I?"
He asked in a tentative voice.
Fu Qi Hong's question caused Mo Qiang to turn and look at him with an odd look. Though the mer never once turned and looked at her, Mo Qiang knew that he was rather nervous once he finished asking the question. She pursed her lips and then said to him, "Yes, you can."
Fu Qi Hong closed his eyes when he heard her response, a sweet smile adorning his lips.
On the other hand, at the imperial palace—
The sound of alarms went off in the imperial palace as Fu Zhao looked at the army approaching the borders of the imperial star with a cold look in her eyes.
She turned to look at her aide and commanded, "Go and call for Madam Mo. Tell her that I am reinstating her as the general."
"Are you sure?" Assistant Luo asked with a slight raise of his brows.
"If not?" Fu Zhao questioned as she raised her brow at the mer. She said to him, "There is no general to command the army at the moment with Madam Wei getting indisposed. Since that is the case, don't we need another general to lead the army?"
"I don't think she will be willing."
Assistant Luo knew very well that Mo Yan was no longer interested in taking control of the army and only wished to lead a simple life.
"Heh," in response to his remark, Fu Zhao simply sneered and said—
