Chapter 315: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 315: Do You Miss Me? (2)
Xiao Ruiyuan couldn't deny it. Looking at the serene face of the woman before him and thinking of his purpose for coming here, he couldn't help but ask, "When it returns to the mountains, will you miss it?"
Mo Yan looked at him incredulously. Was this still the cold and aloof Sir Xiao? Was he being impersonated? Otherwise, why would he ask such a question?
Xiao Ruiyuan coughed dryly, looking somewhat uncomfortable but staring directly at Mo Yan, evidently awaiting her answer.
Mo Yan felt a strange surge in her heart. She instinctively felt that this question was not as simple as it seemed. Yet, upon careful consideration, she couldn't find anything wrong with it, as if it were genuinely just a straightforward question.
Suppressing her sense of strangeness, she replied, "Of course, I would miss it. After all, I've raised it for so long, and we've developed a deep bond."
After saying this, Mo Yan glanced at someone and secretly thought, "With such a face, he really isn't suitable for asking such questions. My heart can't handle it!"
This time, Xiao Ruiyuan didn't continue the conversation. He stared at Mo Yan and suddenly blurted out, "I'll be leaving the day after tomorrow!"
"Ah?" The topic suddenly changed, and Mo Yan couldn't keep up. Just as she was about to ask "Where are you going?" Xiao Ruiyuan threw out another question, leaving Mo Yan dumbfounded.
"Do you miss me?"
"Do you miss me, do you miss me, do you miss me..."
Mo Yan dumbfoundedly stared at Xiao Ruiyuan, suddenly raised her hand and slapped her forehead hard. It must be that her head was broken; otherwise, why would this sentence keep echoing in her ears!
"What are you doing?" Xiao Ruiyuan's expression changed, taking a step forward, and firmly grasped her wrist, preventing her from self-harming.
Seeing the face before her, which seemed out of this world, Mo Yan blurted out her suspicion as if bewitched, "Brother Xiao, my brain must be broken. Please don't talk to me for now. I need to be alone!"
Seeing her silly appearance and hearing her silly words, Xiao Ruiyuan's face turned completely dark!
He firmly held Mo Yan's delicate wrist, gritting his teeth and said, "Your ears aren't deaf, and your brain isn't broken. It's just as you heard! Do you miss me, huh?"
Mo Yan lowered her head, hiding her shocked expression. Her mind was chaotic at the moment, and she couldn't distinguish the hidden meaning behind his words. She wouldn't foolishly assume that this high-ranking, extraordinarily handsome man was interested in her just based on this sentence alone.
The atmosphere became heavy and awkward, with the two people seemingly close yet distant, causing turmoil in their hearts.
Seeing her dumbfounded silence, Xiao Ruiyuan felt extremely disappointed and somewhat embarrassed. He had finally convinced himself to reveal his feelings, but this girl reacted like this, as if he were a fool.
Slowly, he reached out his left hand, wanting to force her to look up and give him a positive answer, even if it was just a glance. But as soon as his hand touched her beautiful chin, he couldn't exert any force.
He—was feeling timid!
Who could have imagined that the mighty Third-Rank General, the one who made enemies tremble in fear, Xiao Ruiyuan, would feel timid because of a girl?
He quietly stared at the top of her head, not releasing her delicate wrist, and no one knew about the nervousness in his heart.
The force on her wrist grew stronger and stronger, causing Mo Yan's left hand to gradually stiffen, feeling very uncomfortable. She tried to move her hand to make him let go, but his iron grip seemed welded to her wrist, almost burning her with its scorching heat.
She subconsciously lifted her head and met his nervous eyes. With a fluttering heart, as if not noticing the awkward posture between them, she smiled and asked, "Brother Xiao, where are you going?"
