Chapter 178: Visiting (4)_1
Mo Yan shivered slightly under his icy gaze, and turned to Xiao Eleven in confusion, "Is it your master who is in a bad mood, or did I say something wrong?"
Xiao Eleven was also perplexed and gave Mo Yan an almost imperceptible shake of his head.
Xiao Ruiyuan’s gaze remained on Mo Yan from beginning to end; he did not miss her slight movement. For some inexplicable reason, his heart felt somewhat congested—he disliked that she would rather ask an irrelevant person than speak to him. For a moment, he found Xiao Eleven exceptionally annoying, and his icy eyes shot towards him, "You, get out!"
The innocent Xiao Eleven, caught in the crossfire, was befuddled. Even after stepping outside the courtyard, he still had no idea why his master had changed his face so suddenly—it seemed his mood had been fine when they first arrived!
Now only Mo Yan and Xiao Ruiyuan were left in the room, staring each other down. Locked under that icy scrutiny, Mo Yan felt extremely stifled and wished she could follow Xiao Eleven out immediately.
Ah, if only Zhenzhen and the others were here, it would’ve been better. Why did they have to go to Mu’s Shop with Lizhong today of all days? The only two remaining at home—Lixiu—didn’t want to see male guests and stayed in her room with the door closed.
This standoff couldn’t go on forever. Mo Yan sighed miserably and, steeling herself against his oppressive stare, began to make awkward conversation, "Sir Xiao, have your injuries fully healed?"
Was she showing concern for him? Xiao Ruiyuan’s expression softened and he uttered one word, "Yes."
