801 The Spiritual Fox Xiang’er (1/2)
No matter how strong Mo Wen was, he could not help but tear up when he entered his home.
Qin Xiaoyou held on to the corner of his shirt anxiously while looking at her feet. She hid behind Mo Wen like a shy deer.
The figure in the kitchen turned around. It was a middle-aged woman dressed in an old shirt made of rough material. However, her clothes were very clean.
”Little stone, you have finally come home! Why are you standing at the door in a daze? Quick, come in and sit down. This lady is so beautiful. Come in and sit, make yourself at home.”
Mo Wen's mother sized Qin Xiaoyou up and then pulled her into the house by her hand with a smile. Her son had brought a girl home; how would she be unaware of what's happening?
Qin Xiaoyou blushed. ”Hello Auntie, my name is Qin Xiaoyou,” she said softly with her head lowered.
She had wanted to greet Mo Wen's mother as Mrs. Mo, but she looked very young. She only seemed to be around 30 years old. Even though she was wearing coarse clothing and was dressed simply, she seemed like a wealthy woman. A person who held herself with dignity and was noble would seem aristocratic even if she was dressed like a beggar.
Mo Wen's mother was very young. She was dignified and noble and was a rare beauty. Mo Wen had lived with his mother for years and was used to how she looked. But Qin Xiaoyou was stunned by her beauty. She even suspected that Mo Wen's mother was from a rich family, and had later married before coming to this village.
”Your mother is so beautiful,” Qin Xiaoyou said softly as she tugged on Mo Wen's sleeve. His mother could be an actress and act as Empress Wu Zetian with her disposition and beauty. How could a person with such exceptional disposition appear in a village in the middle of nowhere?
Mo Wen paused slightly when he heard what she had to say. He studied his mother carefully and suddenly realized that the years did not seem to have left any traces on his mother. His mother had not changed much since he was a child.
However, the spiritual energy in this space was strong. The air and waters were clear and were very nourishing. It was not a bad thing for his mother to be able to maintain her youth.
”Little Stone, why didn't you introduce us? I very much like it that you brought her home.”
Mo Wen's mother nattered on with a smile after she nudged Qin Xiaoyou onto a chair. Mo Wen's nickname as a child was Little Stone and that was what his mother still called him.
”Mom, her name is Qin Xiaoyou, and she is the daughter-in-law I have found for you. Do you like her?” Mo Wen asked with a smile. He would not have been able to behave so calmly in the past if he had found a girlfriend and even brought her home. However, his mental state was different now.
”Of course I like her. Any girl who likes our Little Stone is a girl with a good sense of judgment. But does she mind the fact that we are from the village?” Mo Wen's mother glanced at Qin Xiaoyou carefully with surprise in her eyes. Not even Mo Wen noticed the change in her expression.
”Auntie, there is a saying that goes ”the highly skilled are always hidden deep in the mountains.” It is my fortune that Mo Wen likes me. Why would I mind? I would be satisfied if you do not find me a hindrance.”
Qin Xiaoyou twisted her hands together, feeling rather nervous. What she was most worried about was that Mo Wen's mother would not like her and would not allow her and Mo Wen to be together. However, it seemed that Mo Wen's mother was not hard to get along with.
”Miss, you have a glib tongue.” Mo Wen's mother laughed.
”Mom, where's Xiang'er? We've been here for a while. Why haven't I seen her?”
Mo Wen looked around the house and was surprised to not have seen Xiang'er, whom he had missed. Mo Wen's gaze grew softer when he mentioned Xiang'er.
Qin Xiaoyou felt curious. Who was this person who could make Mo Wen look like that?
”Oh, she went out a while ago. I don't know where she went.”
Mo Wen's mother had only just finished talking when they heard something squealing at the door. A little head poked out from behind the door. The head was half-hidden behind the door and looked very shy.
”Xiang'er, come here and let me hug you.” Mo Wen smiled happily when he saw the little figure behind the door. He flung his arms wide open exaggeratedly.
Purr!
There was a flash of white light and the little figure appeared in Mo Wen's embrace with a slight shuffling sound. It rolled around in his embrace coyly, and they looked very close.
”What a beautiful little fox.” There was a bright glint in Qin Xiaoyou's eyes. She could not help but want to pet the white fox in Mo Wen's arms.
