Chapter 1275 - 400: Escape and Children’s Marriage
Bao Hua Temple was vast, with a rich cultural heritage of Buddhism spanning a thousand years, which made the scenery of the monastery quite remarkable, featuring many buildings of great appeal.
Mo Yan and her group found the sights very enjoyable, and whenever there was something they did not understand or had missed, the Little Novice Monk acting as their guide would explain in great detail. However, there were too many attractive sights, and before nightfall, they had still not managed to see the entire monastery, so they had to return temporarily, planning to continue their tour the next day.
Back in their assigned meditation room, Mo Yan grabbed Xin Er, who was about to rush into her parents’ room, and said in a low voice, "The door is closed, your parents are probably still sleeping, you’ll wake them if you go in."
Xin Er stuck out her tongue and quickly backed away, "I forgot, but dinner time is coming, shouldn’t we wake up Mom and Dad?"
Just as Mo Yan was about to speak, the door opened from the inside, and she saw her father’s face, groggy from sleep, and blurted out, "Dad, you didn’t do anything, did you?"
Mo Qingze didn’t respond at first, but when he realized what his daughter meant, his face darkened instantly. He was about to scold her when he remembered they had a "stranger" among them and swallowed his rebuke, saying, "Can’t your dad have a little rest?"
"Sure, sure, how can it be not okay?" Knowing she had misspoken, Mo Yan quickly tried to make amends and said pleasingly, "Let Mom continue sleeping then. It doesn’t matter if she misses dinner. Tonight, I’ll borrow the temple’s kitchen to cook some millet porridge to nourish the stomach for Mom and stir-fry a couple of light dishes."
Mo Qingze was satisfied and patted his daughter’s shoulder, saying, "Your mother loves mushroom soup and stir-fried baby bok choy; let’s have those two dishes."
Mo Yan was amazed; in just a few days, her dad had not only learned her mom’s preferences but had also instructed her—the daughter—without any hesitation. Was her position in her dad’s heart in jeopardy?
Ah, it’s only been a few days!
