Mo Yu turned around with a smile on his face, "Thank you Miss Leng for your compliment. I am just trying my best to give her the best. I am sorry to bother you today. Please stay and have dinner with me later."
After saying that, Mo Yu went out, leaving Leng Ruoran alone in the study. It seemed that the temperature in the study dropped a lot after Mo Yu left. I wonder if it was her psychological factors that were at work.
Gradually I felt my fingertips were cold.
Whenever she thought about Mo Yu actually inviting her to have dinner at the Marquis' Mansion, she felt nervous.
This was her first time eating at a man's home.
Mo Yu walked to the backyard and saw Mo Ranran and Ruan Lanxin talking about something.
When he came forward, Ruan Lanxin bowed to him and then ran out.
Mo Yu was a little confused. Did the two of them have a fight
Mo Ranran said with a teasing look in his eyes: "Brother, you and Miss Leng... are you attracted to her?"
As soon as these words came out, Mo Yu's handsome eyebrows frowned, "Miss Leng and I are innocent, I have no improper thoughts about her."
"Really? Then why did you leave her in your study? No girl has ever entered your study."
There was a gleam of gossip in Mo Ranran's eyes.
Mo Yu knocked her head hard: "Don't think about such messy things anymore, be careful not to tarnish the reputation of the lady."
Mo Ranran pouted and said coquettishly: "Okay, I get it."
Suddenly, An Ruochen's voice and smile appeared in my mind. It would be great if he were still there!
She shook her head and immediately calmed herself down. She couldn't let her brother see her unhappy. He had done so much for her during this period of time, all to make her happy.
She put away her emotions, thinking she had concealed them well, but she didn't know that all her actions were seen by Mo Yu. He reached out and touched Mo Ranran's head lovingly, "Brother is always here, just tell me if you are unhappy."
Mo Ranran nodded, "Yes."
The dragonfly flew over the water, and the moment it paused created ripples. Time flew by like water, and in the blink of an eye it was the day before Mo Ranran's birthday.
In order to give Mo Ranran a surprise, Mo Yu let Mo Ranran rest early and told the servants to move quietly so that when Mo Ranran woke up the next morning, she would be able to see everything Mo Yu had prepared for her.
At night, the servants tiptoed for fear of waking up Mo Ranran. The Marquis said that if they woke up the young lady, they would forfeit their monthly salary.
The next morning, when Mo Ranran woke up and opened the door, what caught her eyes was a decoration that was different from the past. Tassels were hung in many places and colored glaze was pasted on them. It was clearly the same before she went to bed yesterday. How come the whole mansion had changed when she opened her eyes this morning
She thought she was dreaming, so she rubbed her eyes and opened them again. The decorations around her were still the same and the servants were busy in an orderly manner.
"What's going on?"
"My lady, today is your birthday. The Marquis specially asked me to prepare this for you."
Today is her birthday, but she herself didn't even remember it. Please trouble Mo Yu to remember it for her.
The tassels and colored glaze alone were enough to show the huge expense, not to mention the other preparations. Mo Yu got up early in the morning. Not to mention that he had been staring at these things last night and slept very late. He woke up at dawn this morning. He had slept so little, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
The banquet not only entertained his friends and officials from the court, but he even built a porridge stall at the city gate to provide porridge to beggars for three days. In addition, he also found a troupe of actors, and after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they performed a play for him to watch.
The ceremony was so grand that everyone in the capital knew that the Mo family's daughter was going to have a birthday. Some people were extremely envious, while others hated Mo Yu and wished he would die immediately, yet they still endured the annoyance and went to attend the party.
That being said, it was really torture for him.
Mo Ranran sat in front of the bronze mirror. No matter what, she couldn't be happy. The person in the mirror had a faint smile on her face and on her head was wearing jewelry that Mo Yu had specially sent someone to customize for her.
Coupled with Mo Ranran's originally fair and delicate facial features, she looks even more stunning in such a gorgeous dress.
After she had dressed up, Mo Yu was already waiting for her at the door.
She walked forward and thanked Mo Yu for preparing all this for her, "Thank you, brother. It must have been very hard to prepare these."
"Silly girl, why are you thanking me? I am your brother."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Lanxin arrived.
She walked quickly forward and took out the purse that she had spent more than ten days embroidering, as if presenting a treasure.
There was a twisted flower blooming on it, and I didn't know what it was. I have to say that her craftsmanship was really poor. It looked like she wanted to embroider a pair of lotus flowers, but the final shape didn't look like a lotus.
It looks more like wild flowers on the roadside.
Looking at Ruan Lanxin's hands, they were already wrapped in white cloth, and blood could even be seen on several of the fingers.
Mo Ranran held Ruan Lanxin's hand distressedly at the sight: "Just give her anything. Look at what you've done to yourself. I was just joking with you at that time!"
Ruan Lanxin looked at Mo Ranran with a silly smile: "Just don't despise me, I was just being lazy and didn't prepare any other gifts for you, only this one!"
Ruan Lanxin doesn't know how to embroider at all and only likes to wield swords and guns. Even her mother is troubled by this.
Mo Ranran saw this once, and jokingly said that he wanted her to give him a hand-made purse on his birthday.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Lanxin actually kept this matter in mind.
The guests arrived one after another. Leng Jingcheng brought Leng Ruoran with him. Ruan Lanxin's brother Ruan Zhengqing had also arrived a long time ago, but he was waiting for them in front and did not follow Ruan Lanxin to the backyard.
Mo Yu and his group went to the front hall to welcome the guests and thank them for taking time out of their busy schedules to attend Mo Ranran's birthday. No matter who came to attend the birthday party today, Mo Yu would entertain them.
The guests had almost all arrived, and just as they were about to begin, they heard a sharp voice outside shouting, "The princess is getting married!"
Everyone looked up and looked at each other with surprise in their eyes, even Mo Yu did not expect this.
After thinking about it, he guessed that it was Yi Jinyi's work.
Princess? He remembered that he had not invited the princess to a banquet.
Those who came all sighed in admiration, saying that the princess was worthy of her close relationship with the emperor. On the birthday of a female member of her family, the princess came in person, which really gave Mo Yu enough face.
You know, Yi Wenjun is extremely aloof, and he rarely attends banquets of royal relatives. Now he actually comes to attend Mo Ranran's birthday party. No one present here may enjoy such an honor even once.
Everyone says that Mo Yu is close to the emperor. Now they have witnessed how great the emperor's grace is.
Yi Wenjun, wearing a red dress, slowly stepped down from the sedan chair, attracting the attention of people outside the door, and the people in the yard knelt on the ground.
