Chapter 306: Mo Wu’s River Plunge and Xiao Ruiyuan’s Search (1)_1
Mo Wu sat somewhat constrained in the chair, carefully taking in the bright and spacious room adorned with lovely decorations. Even though she had been here once before, she still felt a pang of envy.
"Auntie, please have some tea to warm up," Mo Yan came out with a cup of hot tea, interrupting Mo Wu’s thoughts.
"Y-Yan girl, you are too kind," Mo Wu swiftly got up, taking the white porcelain teacup with both hands cautiously. Such a delicate cup, it sure must be very valuable, she couldn’t afford to break it.
"You are my aunt, is it possible that you can’t even drink a cup of tea?" Mo Yan said with a smile, her hand inadvertently touching Mo Wu’s icy fingers. Observing her threadbare and worn clothes, Mo Yan’s heart couldn’t help but sour.
"Yan girl, you, you’re a good person!" Seeing that her demeanor was as kind as ever, and that she hadn’t neglected her due to the strife between their families, Mo Wu felt her eyes welling up with tears, unable to voice her request.
Knowing that she must have something important to discuss by coming here, and seeing her discomfort, Mo Yan smiled and said, "Auntie, whatever it is, please feel free to speak up. If I can be of any help, I will surely assist."
Mo Wu nodded with a choked voice, sipping the hot tea in small mouthfuls, the warmth spreading from her throat to her heart.
The hall was a bit chilly, so Mo Yan closed the back door which was open and brought a stove from the kitchen, placing it in front of Mo Wu. The charcoal inside was burning brightly.
The warm heat wafted over her face, and Mo Wu unconsciously stretched her hands out near the stove, the chill in her body subsiding significantly.
