Chapter 785: Marriage of Sorrow (2)_1
Lixiu paused in her chopping and said calmly, "There’s nothing amiss, you’re just overthinking it."
Despite her words, her heart was filled with joy for Mo Yan! A gentleman stays clear of the kitchen, yet a man entering the kitchen just to steal a few more glances at a lady must be smitten!
Upon hearing this, Liyan looked at Xiao Ruiyuan with suspicion, certain that she wasn’t overthinking.
Among them, Liu Tinglan was the most shocked. As a person with firsthand experience, she knew exactly what those blatant stares meant. But, could someone please tell her when Big Ice Cube had set his sights on her dear Sister Lan? Should she warn Yanyan now to be cautious? If Yanyan were unfortunate enough to fall into Big Ice Cube’s hands, his stone-cold visage alone would be enough to freeze someone to death!
"Sister Lan, quickly add more wood and get the fire roaring!" Mo Yan said while adding chopped green onions and ginger to the pot as the sizzling sound inside grew fainter.
Seeing Liu Tinglan unresponsive, Mo Yan looked up in confusion and caught sight of Xiao Ruiyuan standing at the doorway, and exclaimed in surprise, "Why didn’t you go to the fields?"
"Cousin asked me to stay back and check the carriage!" Xiao Ruiyuan’s lips curved into a smile as he eagerly took the chance to curry favor with the object of his affections in front of his cousin.
"Ah, the Crown Prince is really... really such a good brother!" Mo Yan said with a mix of laughter and tears, forcing a compliment despite her conscience. Her father would surely see through this little trick, only she wondered whose account this would be added to!
