Chapter 150 - Being Dishonorable, She Conducted Seduction in (2/2)
Mo Huawen had to come now that his sons and daughters all went to greet her. This was the usual time Mo Huawen came to greet.
After Mo Huawen’s greetings to Old Madam, he sat by the side. Then, Mo Xuetong and Mo Xueyan also went up to greet him.
After Lan Xinru greeted to Mo Huawen, she held Xiaolian’s hand and stepped forward, saying coquettishly, “Brother Huawen, it’s been a while. Do you still remember me?” Then she lowered her body and greeted him.
“You’re Miss Lan? It’s been a while and you got even more beautiful. I’m ashamed to trouble you to take care of Old Madam.” Mo Huawen sounded pretty flat, and there was detestation in his eyes. Although he didn’t know much about the inner yard as an official, he had already felt something different from Lan Xinru’s coquettish expression.
He remembered when Luo Xia was ill, Lan Xinru showed up in front of him dressing gorgeously. At that time, he had trouble inside and had to worry about Luo Xia’s health, so he had no time to deal with her and tried to avoid her. But once he walked into Luo Xia’s yard, she would follow behind and left him no chance to go.
She followed him around and asked all kinds of questions coquettishly while his beloved wife was ill in bed. No one would want to discuss anything with such a woman!
Therefore, Mo Huawen had an extremely bad impression of Lan Xinru.
“It’s great that you still remember me! “I just thought you might have forgotten me after these years.” Lan Xinru stood up and looked at Mo Huawen coquettishly, completely ignoring the others in the room. She pinched the handkerchief and said gently with shyness, “Xinru came to take care of my aunt. And Brother Huawen is no stranger to me, so you don’t have to be guilty. If you really feel guilty, could you please teach me how to draw? I heard you had perfect skills in painting.”
Mo Xuetong was shocked and couldn’t help s.h.i.+vering at these words. “How could she be coquettish like that at such an age? She behaved like that in front of all the nannies, maids, and even Old Madam, which is really disgraceful for Old Madam. An unmarried girl shouldn’t talk like that.”
Old Madam, who was sitting there lifted her eyebrows and pretended to have heard nothing. She just lifted the cup and had a taste of the tea. Mo Xueyan knew her idea and pretended as if nothing had happened too.
“Thanks for your compliment, but my painting skills are quite limited and don’t deserve your praise. If you really want to learn how to paint, I can hire someone to teach you.” Mo Huawen smiled at Lan Xinru and then turned to Mo Xuetong and said, “Tong’er, you have great painting skills too. If Miss Lan wants to learn from you, you can also help her.”
Everyone understood what he meant.
But someone just pretended to have not understood. Lan Xinru looked at Mo Huawen’s expression and shyly explained, “Brother Huawen, I know it may sound abrupt, but I have had an affection for you since a young age. If I can’t learn to paint from you, I’ll be regretful for my whole life. Please forgive me.”
The words from her were getting cruder and Old Madam couldn’t help coughing a bit. Though Mo Huawen was well-bred, he was very embarra.s.sed. Mo Xuetong couldn’t stand these words anymore. She walked directly to Lan Xinru and smiled, “Miss Lan, though my father has great painting skills, he has never taught a lady. Besides, my father’s study is in the outer yards, where we hardly got in. So I and my sisters have never received a painting from my father.”
She meant that Mo Huawen hadn’t even taught his own daughters, not to mention an outsider who had no good intention. It must have taken Lan Xinru much courage to ask Mo Huawen to teach her to paint alone.
“Xinru, Huawen has many things to deal with every day and has no time to teach you to paint. If you really want his advice, you can paint a few by yourself and then ask for his advice. He can’t teach you in person.” Old Madam put the cup down and laughed.
Seeing Lan Xinru seducing Mo Huawen in front of so many people, Old Madam couldn’t stand it anymore and explained for her, and her words left Mo Huawen no chance to refuse. It was no big deal for him to give Lan Xinru some advice and say something more in Old Madam’s room, as Lan Xinru couldn’t do anything abruptly with so many people watching.
Although Mo Huawen was not happy with these words, he had to agree to it. “It can’t be called as advice, just some comments.”
Hearing his answer, Lan Xinru was so happy and thought that she could go into Mo Huawen’s study with this excuse. She almost showed her happiness and shyly looked at Mo Huawen and went towards Old Madam. This time, she didn’t say anything out of line.
However, when she glanced at Mo Xuetong, she lifted her chin with disdain as if she was already the main wife!
