Farm Girl's Manor

Mo Yan snapped back to reality and as she looked up, her eyes met Xiao Ruiyuan’s smiling ones. The slight curl of his lips stole half her soul away; she was dumbfounded again, her heart and eyes filled only with that captivating smile.

Seeing this, Mo Qingze’s face darkened. Suppressing the urge to rush over and knock some sense into his foolish daughter, he managed a stiff smile and said awkwardly to Xiao Ruiyuan, "My daughter might be too tired. If she has been rude in front of Brother Xiao, I hope Brother Xiao won’t take it to heart."

Even at this moment, Mo Qingze did not forget to defend his daughter and save her face, showing how deep his fatherly love ran.

Xiao Ruiyuan, looking at Mo Yan whose face reddened with the title "Brother Xiao", had a more noticeable curve at the corner of his lips. His voice was deep and pleasing, "Your daughter is sincere and adorable, no need for concern!"

"Haha, Brother Xiao truly is a man of great character. Ziyu has found a good friend in you, haha!" Mo Qingze laughed heartily, his fondness for Xiao Ruiyuan growing rapidly with every passing moment. He found the man before him increasingly agreeable.

Little did Father Mo know that this very "agreeable" man would soon turn into a big bad wolf, whisking away his most cherished daughter, making him regret ever "inviting the wolf into his home."

Friend? A barely visible twitch crossed Xiao Ruiyuan’s lips, but his expression became even more genial, his eyes showing nothing but respect for his elder, "As my senior, I have long admired your talent. If you do not find my capabilities too meager, perhaps we could establish an uncle-nephew relationship, and you could offer me some guidance."

Upon hearing this, a shade of disappointment flickered in Mo Qingze’s eyes. He was merely someone who had read a few more books and gained more insight; the man before him was truly learned and astute. He understood that the offer of guidance was nothing but a polite refusal.
