Chapter 60 Xuetong the Matchmaker (2/2)
”It definitely suits you!”
Mo Huawen and Xuyan spoke in unison. They only realized they had spoken at the same time after they had spoken. Xu Yan felt shy. She blushed and looked down, not being able to speak. She glanced at Mo Huawen secretly and blushed even redder. Something was going on!
Mo Xuetong saw everything clearly by the side. She could not help but smile with satisfaction. Then, she pulled on Xu Yan's hand awkwardly and said adorably, ”But this is Aunt's favorite cloth. If you give it to me, then you won't have any!”
”It's alright as long as Tong'er likes it. I am an adult and I don't mind. I am happy as long as you like it!” Xu Yan's shyness faded a lot with Mo Xuetong's acts. A smile appeared on her face and she reached out to pat Mo Xuetong's head as she spoke sincerely.
Even though she had come for Mo Huawen today, she could not help but feel pity when she saw how obedient and adorable Mo Xuetong was. She saw that Mo Xuetong truly did like the cloth and was satisfied with it. She had wanted to send Tong'er some bolts of cloth anyway and had especially picked out these when she heard that Tong'er liked plainer colors. She was naturally happy since Mo Xuetong liked them.
The corners of her mouth lifted and everyone could see that she was truly happy.
Mo Huawen who was standing to the side could not help but smile when he saw that. He quite liked Xu Yan and felt that Tong'er truly liked this aunt of hers. He turned around and looked at Xu Yan especially and discovered that she looked quite like Luo Xia. If he did not look carefully, they were very much alike, especially when they blushed. She smiled shyly like Luo Xia and he could not help but be dazed as he looked at her.
Xu Yan discovered that Mo Huawen was looking at her dazedly. She blushed even harder. Even though she was interested in Mo Huawen, she was still a n.o.ble young lady. She could not stand Mo Huawen looking at her like that. However, she was too embarra.s.sed to say anything to Mo Huawen and could only turn to Mo Xuetong and speak with her.
”Father, Aunt treats Tong'er so well, she's giving me her own cloth. Aren't you going to do anything about it!” Mo Xuetong tugged on Mo Huawen's sleeves coyly. She ignored the fact that Xu Yan was listening to them and was blus.h.i.+ng furiously. She did not lift up her head and played with her handkerchief.
Mo Huawen regained his wits after Mo Xuetong tugged on him and he looked away awkwardly. He was flushed and spoke to hide the fact that he was dazed earlier. He did not hear what Mo Xuetong had said clearly and replied, ”Tong'er you're right. Father will send your aunt some cloth tomorrow. The two of you can pick some to make clothes.”
Xu Yan could not be dazed anymore. She flushed and thanked Mo Huawen and turned to leave with her maids as if she was fleeing. Even though she looked shy, she was secretly happy. She didn't think that her gentle brother-in-law was going to give her cloth. She had not wasted her effort in picking out the cloth to give to Mo Xuetong.
Mo Huawen realized what he said when he saw Xu Yan fleeing with a blush on her face. It was really awkward now!
A brother-in-law giving his sister-in-law cloth to make clothes? What was happening! He wanted to say something to smooth things over and he pointed at the cloth and coughed. He said seriously, ”Tong'er, I shall leave first. Tell me when the clothes are done. I might have something on and can't come tomorrow.”
He wanted to just say that he would not be able to visit tomorrow and smooth the matter over. However, Mo Xuetong grew unhappy when she heard that. The corners of her lips lifted and she went to pull on Mo Huawen's hands and said reluctantly, ”Father, you promised Tong'er and Aunt earlier. You can't go back on your words. Anyway, Tong'er and Aunt will be waiting here for you to send cloth over. You won't lie to two girls, will you? Or are you reluctant to give up the cloth and you're not willing to make clothes for Tong'er and Aunt?”
Then, she blinked her watery eyes as if she had been wronged, looking rather upset. She had also included Xu Yan in what she said, which meant that Mo Huawen would not only disappoint Mo Xuetong if he were to go back on his words, but also Xu Yan as well. Then, she pouted and said that Mo Huawen was petty, blinking her large eyes.
Mo Huawen was still rather pleased that his daughter was looking at him like that. He reached out to pat her head and looked at how his daughter was looking at him, entirely dependent on him. He only wanted to make his daughter happy and nothing else. ”Alright, as long as Tong'er likes it. I will have someone send some bolts of cloth over. Pick them out with your Aunt and make more clothes.”
Mo Huawen had decided that since he would not be coming tomorrow, he would let Tong'er decide who to give the cloth to. It had nothing to do with him.
”Then will you come to visit me?” Mo Xuetong did not intend to let him off. She asked naively, her long lashes fluttering.
”I will, of course I will!” Mo Huawen was pleased when he saw how reluctant his daughter was for him to leave. He laughed happily and patted Mo Xuetong's head.
”Then come tomorrow! Can Tong'er go out to shop for clothes?” Mo Xuetong shook his arm and asked, pus.h.i.+ng her luck and then pouting. ”Tong'er still hasn't gone shopping since I returned to the capital. Will you accompany Tong'er?” She looked at Mo Huawen with watery eyes so much that he could not reject even if he wanted to.
He thought about how Tong'er had just gotten to the capital and had indeed not gone shopping and was filled with heartache. He hurriedly agreed and looked at his daughter's beautiful face. He felt both comforted and pain and pity! If Luo Xia was still around, would Tong'er not even have a person to go shopping with!
