Chapter 697: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 697: Slapping Mo Qingze's Face at High School (2)
The morning passed in a flurry of accepting congratulatory gifts. Mo Yan looked at the gifts that had filled two storage rooms and couldn’t help but marvel. Clearly, she had underestimated the impact of the title of "County Princesses."
“These are just ordinary items; they only impress unsophisticated country bumpkins like you!” Yan Junyu appeared beside Mo Yan, his alluring face marred by irritating words.
Mo Yan rolled her eyes and chose to ignore him, knowing that responding would only encourage him.
Seeing that Mo Yan ignored him, Yan Junyu grew bored. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, “I’m sorry!”
Mo Yan was taken aback, clearly not expecting such an arrogant person to apologize. Seeing his serious expression, she smiled and said, “It’s not your fault. If I hadn’t produced high-yield rice, nothing would have happened! Besides, being awarded the title of County Princess is an honor. Isn’t that great? You’ve done all the work, and I’m the one reaping the benefits. It’s actually me who should feel embarrassed.”
Hearing Mo Yan’s words, Yan Junyu felt even more uncomfortable. He would rather she complained about him than feign enjoyment, pretending to like something she didn’t. This made the distance between them feel even greater, and he disliked this feeling.
Mo Yan couldn’t guess Yan Junyu’s thoughts. Seeing him still looking serious, she assumed he was still feeling guilty and comforted him, “It really isn’t your fault. Don’t worry about it. Otherwise, we’ll all feel uncomfortable.”
If the rice had still been in the fields, and if it weren’t for him secretly watching over it, someone might have already targeted it. There wouldn’t have been a bumper harvest. Moreover, he had helped her a lot, and she had intended to repay him with the high-yield rice, which had now been destroyed. She should be the one feeling guilty.
Seeing Mo Yan’s expression of guilt, Yan Junyu, who had been misunderstood, intended to explain but ultimately gave up. It was better for her to have some sense of guilt than none at all.
Yan Junyu, waving his jade fan, said without courtesy, “If you really feel sorry, then be nicer to me in the future. At least send some more vegetables, wine, and also those chickens. Since I’ve tasted the chickens you raised, I can’t eat the ones bought from elsewhere.”
Mo Yan cheerfully agreed, “I’ll have Xiao Hua deliver them to you from now on. It’s always thinking about you!”
As she spoke, Xiao Hua trotted over, rubbed against Mo Yan’s leg, and then ran to Yan Junyu’s feet, deliberately raising its neck to show off the green gemstone beast token it was wearing, its eyes full of pride as if to say, “Look, I’m a prestigious beast now!”
Yan Junyu immediately tapped Xiao Hua’s head with his fan. As Xiao Hua growled angrily, Yan Junyu’s beautiful lips curled into a faint smile as he said, “So ugly!”
Xiaohua was instantly enraged and collapsed to the ground in defeat!
……
After lunch, Yan Junyu made a quick tour of the construction site before heading back to the city. As he stepped out of the Mo family’s gate, he happened to run into Dani, who had returned from the market looking for Mo Yan. He had some recollection of Dani and knew she was close to Mo Yan. He gave her a slight smile as a greeting.
Little did he know that this charming smile had a profound effect!
Dani’s mind went blank, as if it wasn’t her own. She clutched her racing heart, dazedly savoring the mesmerizing smile.
When she came to her senses, the air was filled only with the lingering fragrance of cold plums……
The Han family planned to stay at the Mo house for a few days. After Mo Yan and Li Xiu finished their meal, they began tidying up the house. Hearing that Dani needed to see her, Mo Yan was about to look for her when Li Yan, who had just left, returned, saying someone had come to deliver a congratulatory gift and needed her to go out in person.
