Chapter 777 Awareness of Provocation (2)_1
Chu Heng: "..."
Was this an attempt to shut him up with food? Chu Heng, the unfortunate first to be fed by his cousin, was far from happy.
Although Mrs. Du’s arrival had somewhat dampened the mood of the father and daughter of Mo Family, the lively and warm atmosphere in the dining room quickly dispelled the displeasure, and the meal ended with everyone feeling quite content.
By now, the snow outside had grown heavy, so deep that it reached the top of one’s foot with every step. The Liu family and Han family were not in any rush to leave, as the Mo Family’s house was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate both families, something that had happened before.
Shen Ji, however, wanted to take advantage of the carriage still being able to travel and planned to return to the city.
With only three months left until next year’s spring examinations, Shen Ji had been diligently studying in his rented room since the autumn examinations. He would not have come out at all had the Mo Family not invited him.
Who doesn’t appreciate a hardworking person? Mo Qingze was already fond of Shen Ji as a son-in-law candidate. Seeing Shen Ji wanted to leave, he opened his mouth to persuade him, "Yun Jin, it is good to be diligent, but you must not neglect rest, for the proper way is to balance work and leisure! Stay here today, and leave when the snow clears tomorrow—it won’t be too late."
"I truly appreciate Brother Ziyu’s kindness," replied Yun Jin, touched, yet hesitant. However, he found it rather improper to outright refuse when the host was sincerely insisting.
