Chapter 79 Go with the Flow and Another Scheme (2/2)

If Mo Xuetong's words earlier were impolite, then Mo Xueqiong's were extremely impolite. This was especially so because Sima Lingyun wanted to change the topic but she smiled adorably as if she did not know that she was implying that Sima Lingyun and Mo Xuemin had a secret relations.h.i.+p. She even brought up evidence.

If such an incident were to made known to public and with Mo Xueqiong's testimony, their reputations would be ruined.

This was especially so since Sima Lingyun was trying to win Mo Xuetong's affections. Mo Xueqiong's words had revealed the secret relations.h.i.+p the two had. Sima Lingyun's handsome face flushed. However, his expression grew grave as he said, ”Fourth Young Miss Mo, what are you talking about. Even if I am clueless, I will not send things to First Miss Mo directly. That was because my mother liked First Miss Mo and told me to give her some jewelry. I don't have anything going on with First Miss Mo. You are mistaken.”

He spoke with an annoyed tone. The scent coming from Mo Xueqiong made him really annoyed and irritated.

”I'm sorry, Your Excellency. I did not mean to misunderstand Eldest Sister. Perhaps she misunderstood, which was why I misunderstood as well. I was thinking that it was impossible for a person of your character to do something like that which was why I asked you since we met today. Eldest Sister has indeed misunderstood.” Mo Xueqiong apologized obediently. It was as if the sarcastic and sharp words earlier had not been uttered by her as she placed the blame entirely on Mo Xuemin with a smile.

Arrogant, brash, and overestimating herself...

Mo Xuetong, who was sitting behind her pursed her lips. It seemed that Mo Xueqiong was not an idiot. Her Fourth Sister was not one to underestimate. However, this was just as well. She was a good match for the vicious Mo Xuemin. She had been worried at first that Mo Xueqiong was too weak and would be no match for Mo Xuemin. She did not expect Mo Xueqiong to surprise her like that.

No matter how much Sima Lingyun disliked Mo Xueqiong, he felt a sense of superiority when he saw how she apologized gently and looked at him coyly. He would not show how irritated he was. When he saw the charming face and lively eyes, he suddenly felt that Mo Xueqiong was not that annoying and that her fragrance was not that bad.

He did not react as strongly as he had in the beginning when Mo Xueqiong leaned towards him. He felt his body growing hotter. Mo Xueqiong's body, which was leaning towards him was soft and fragrant. It made his heart flutter.

”Your Excellency, is the plum blossom forest we are going to see now the same plum blossom forest in King Jin's manor? I heard that in the south behind the forest is King Jin's manor. I heard someone say that the manor was extremely beautiful 30 years ago. There is something to look at and admire at every step. It is almost as grand as the palace. I wonder if you have been?” Mo Xueqiong's eyes were filled with love as she asked him gently. It made it easy to like her.

This was especially so when she did not know if Sima Lingyun's fingers were running across the corner of her skirt intentionally or not. It was as if he was opening a curtain and was extremely intimate. Mo Xueqiong could not help but flush and she held on to her dress, scrunching it up and then releasing it. She seemed charming and beautiful and the flush on her face made her seem more charming than usual.

Sima Lingyun's eyes could not help but fall on Mo Xueqiong's face. The heat surged up. Just as he wanted to speak, the carriage suddenly came to a stop. Mo Xueqiong was seated on his side. She did not react in time and could not help but knock into him. She fell into his embrace.

The two of them could not help but pause. They were hugging each other subconsciously and could not react in time. They only felt that the face across them was extremely attractive, so much so that they did not want to let go. They only had eyes for each other!

”Your Excellency, we are at the plum blossom forest!” The driver outside said.

Mo Ye pulled Mo Xueqiong's maid with her and they got off the horse carriage first.

”We are at the plum blossom forest. Then I shall get off now.” Mo Xuetong said politely. She lifted her skirt and opened the curtains. Mo Ye was already waiting there to help her off the carriage. She did not know if it was intentional, but when the curtains fell again, it blocked the two people inside who were hugging each other with a slight flush on their faces.

Her vision was filled with plum blossoms the moment she got off the carriage. The branches were filled with exquisite blossoms that were white and pink. One could see patches of blossoms from where they were standing. While the blossoms were not as white as snow they were more fragrant than it. However, when they both appeared, one would only feel that the blossoms were fragrant and like soft snow.

It was indeed the most famous plum blossom forest of King Jin's manor.
