Chapter 758: Beauty in the Eye of the Beholder, Taking a Beating (3)_1
freēwebnovel.com Xiao Ruiyuan suddenly smiled and stretched out his arm to embrace the girl in front of him, who had been dumbfounded, "Never!"
Mo Yan was caught in the man’s smile, unable to extricate herself, until Little Flower, who somehow had come to gawk again, let out a lewd wolf howl. It was then that she snapped back to reality, her tender cheeks flushing red—fuming at Little Flower!
She glared fiercely at the tactless Little Flower and mentally took a serious note of it.
Humph, originally seeing how hard you chased after a mate, I wanted to help you. Now seeing how dumb you look, why bother troubling Dabai? You might as well stay single for life!
Little Flower, still rolling on the ground with laughter and unaware that it had once again missed an opportunity to pursue Dabai, was oblivious to the fact that its future conquests would be indefinitely postponed!
Being at the Mo Family residence, Xiao Ruiyuan held Mo Yan for a while but then reluctantly let go. As soon as she left his embrace, a sense of emptiness filled his heart. He couldn’t help but reach out, stroking the stray hairs on her forehead, and brought up the proposal Chu Heng had made that evening.
Mo Yan intended to feign modesty, but she couldn’t bring herself to do so. Instead, she suggested, "The tenth day of the twelfth lunar month is my father’s birthday. We’ll have a small gathering of relatives and friends to dispel the bad luck of the imprisonment he suffered recently. Fortunately, you’ll be off that day. You can come over under the guise of offering your birthday wishes!"
As she spoke, concern crossed her face, "My father doesn’t know about us. He’s picked out a son-in-law for himself and has even been hinting at it recently while talking with me. I’ve managed to dodge the issue by feigning ignorance. The man my father chose will probably come on my father’s birthday, and he might reveal everything then."
Then, she briefly described Shen Ji’s situation to Xiao Ruiyuan so he could be prepared. She knew that compared to Xiao Ruiyuan, her father would prefer Shen Ji both for his family background and his personal character as a son-in-law.
