Chapter 796: Enter the Mountain Together and Capture Another Beast (1)_1
Although Mo Qingze didn’t regard Xiao Ruiyuan as the most suitable son-in-law candidate, he had no complaints about the man himself. Seeing that Xiao Ruiyuan, despite his noble status, was willing to offer his help, Mo Qingze was pleased at heart.
But pleasure aside, Mo Qingze was not about to foolishly agree right away. Otherwise, everyone would understand why this young man, unrelated to his family, was busying himself around their home. He had not tested him enough, so how could he loosen his stance?
"I don’t oppose your relationship with Yanyan, but the proper rules must be followed! If you want me to consent to betroth Yanyan to you, you must show your sincerity," Mo Qingze stated frankly, serving both as a reminder and a test for Xiao Ruiyuan.
"Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Mo. I’ve been negligent!" Xiao Ruiyuan’s expression changed slightly as he stood up, bowed to Mo Qingze with his hands clasped, and apologized with an attitude so respectful and polite that it was beyond reproach.
This time, Xiao Ruiyuan truly just wanted to help, without any thoughts of using the opportunity to create misunderstandings and rumors to bind him and Yanyan together, forcing Mo Qingze to agree to the marriage proposal.
It was precisely because Mo Qingze saw this that he merely offered a reminder, or else he would have lost his temper long ago.
Mo Yan, holding a freshly brewed pot of tea, came in and saw the two chatting amiably, with smiles on her father’s face, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
She placed the tea tray down, grabbed a teacup and the teapot, and while pouring tea, she said, "Father, Master wants to take a walk in the mountains. I’ll accompany him in a while. We may not be back in time for lunch, so don’t wait for us."
Doctor Du didn’t actually intend just to stroll in the mountains; rather, some rare medicinal herbs that only appeared during the winter were not available in the Space, so the master and disciple planned to try their luck in the mountains.
