Chapter 1218 Xiangyun Gets Mad (5)
Although he didn't know whether he felt guilty towards her or something else, it was undeniable that he was indeed different from before to Xiangyun. At least, he felt relaxed and happy when he was with her; he would be bored, restless, and... when he couldn't see her. Miss her!
Miss!
This thought scared him. He stared at the bed curtain with his obsidian eyes. Why did he have such a thought? What happened? Could it be that he was... attracted to her?
No, he always liked the kind of women who were unique and noble, and untainted by dust, like Wanqing, who was proficient in everything; but Xiangyun was a world away from being untainted by dust. She was not good at poetry and books, and was not particular about details. She liked to laugh loudly, liked to play pranks, and liked to eat without any image. He didn't like such a woman at all... Like?
Don't you like? However, he was really happy when he was with her, much happier and more relaxed than when he was with Wanqing reciting poems and composing essays. During the time when he was injured, he laughed more than he had laughed in the previous 18 years combined. She always made him laugh or laugh and cry. Sometimes, just thinking back to a certain word or action of hers would make him giggle for a long time and feel very happy. But, is this love?
He violated the ancestral precepts and morality for Wanqing, so how could he fall in love with another woman? Perhaps, his feelings for Xiangyun were not love at all, but he got used to her unconsciously in the daily life, so he gradually developed a good impression of her. Yes, it must be like this!
Mo Zili said this to himself, but he felt something was wrong, as if he hadn't figured out something. Just like this, he thought about it over and over again until dawn.
…
Xiangyun also did not sleep all night. After tossing and turning all night, she got up and dressed before dawn.
Yesterday, Caiwei sent Huanqiu to tell her that she would go to Muji to participate in the trip today. It happened that she did not want to stay at home and face him, so she could just use this excuse to leave home. After dressing up, she walked out. When she passed by the main room, the man was sitting at the table reading a book. Hearing her footsteps, Mo Zili closed the book and raised his head.
"Get up, come and have dinner!" He spoke first, as if nothing had happened yesterday.
Xiangyun rolled her eyes. He was so angry yesterday, and today he asked her to accompany him for dinner as if nothing had happened. It was really shameless. She originally planned to have a cold war with him and did not want to talk to him, but he had already spoken, and she could not help but say it, otherwise it would be heard by the old lady, and the old lady would be dissatisfied.
Therefore, she had to say in a muffled voice: "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat."
Mo Li frowned and said: "What? Are you still angry about what happened yesterday?"
Xiangyun clenched her fists and thought, you are asking even though you know the answer, but she said: "No, I just don't have an appetite, you can eat by yourself." Then, she took the maids and women to the front yard to pay respects to the old lady and mother-in-law.
Yingyu, who was waiting on the side, asked reluctantly: "Young Master, do you want to eat now?"
Mo Zili looked at Xiangyun's back and said: "Don't eat yet, wait for the young lady to come back and eat together!"
Xiangyun went to the courtyard of the old lady and mother-in-law Bai to pay respects respectively. When she came back, she found that two bowls of hot rice porridge, four dishes of light side dishes and four kinds of snacks were already placed on the round table in the room.
"I'm back, it's time to eat!"
Mo Zili still sat at the table, but said with a somewhat unnatural expression.
Xiangyun walked into the inner room and said, "I told you I have no appetite and don't want to eat, didn't you hear me?" After that, she went into the inner room to change clothes.
