Chapter 71 Mo Xuetong Forced To Learn the Qin (1/2)
He was going to destroy it because he liked it. This was so even despite that it would hurt him!
How could such an extreme person be someone with no hatred or regrets...
Mo Xuetong's heart grew cold. She felt the cold permeating through her bones and blood, spreading into her limbs and her entire being...
Qin Yufeng did not notice this. He really liked the painting and had expended a lot of effort to get it. When he heard Mo Xuetong said that it could still be fixed, he could not help but be excited. He could not control himself and pulled Mo Xuetong's sleeves. There was a light fragrance and his heart beat wildly.
He released her sleeves hurriedly. When he saw her beautiful face, he could not help but felt tongue-tied and shy. He hurriedly widened the distance between the two and said ashamedly, ”Cousin Tong, I'm sorry. I was too excited. I have been impolite when I thought that you could have a way to fix it. Please forgive me.”
Then, he bowed deeply.
”Cousin Feng, what are you talking about. I know that you like this painting a lot. Why don't we make a bet?” Her eyes shone and she kept an adorable and innocent smile on her face. It made one think that she was a naive young girl who knew naught about the world.
”A bet?” Qin Yufeng was stunned. He was rather surprised by his cousin. Even though he seemed wild, he had always made plans before doing anything. Even greeting Mo Xuetong was something he had done after much contemplation. He was surprised by Mo Xuetong's sudden suggestion.
”Yes! I wonder if Cousin Feng would dare to bet with me?” Mo Xuetong suddenly stood up. Her dark eyes were like glittering stars in the dark night. Her voice was innocent as the wind under the dark starry skies. She glanced at Qin Yufeng as if she was certain that he would not bet with her.
She was a little naughty and a little adorable. She was so wonderful one could not take their eyes off her.
”Cousin Feng, do you dare to?” Mo Xuetong smiled and asked again when she saw Qin Yufeng looking at her silently. There was a glimmer of confusion in her eyes as if she did not understand why Qin Yufeng was not speaking. The smile on her lips slowly fell off.
”Alright, I will bet with you. What would you like to bet on?” Qin Yufeng, who was always calm and composed, and would never do anything he was uncertain off, replied subconsciously. His gaze fell on her lips. Her smile had returned.
Qin Yufeng was shocked. He would never do anything he was not confident in, but yet, he was now teasing a girl innocently. Even though he calmed down immediately, Mo Xuetong noticed all of that. The smile on her lips grew even more charming and her eyes were beautiful in their coldness.
”Will you give this painting to me if I really fix it?” Mo Xuetong smiled. ”If I can't fix it, I am willing to make it up to you by giving you another painting. How about that?”
Qin Yufeng would never do anything he was not confident in. That was why he had taken every step carefully when he plotted against her with Mo Xuemin. They had gotten her to step into his traps unknowingly. In her second chance at life, Mo Xuetong had thought of many plans to deal with him, her biggest opponent. The best idea she had was to destroy the relations.h.i.+p between Mo Xuemin and Qin Yufeng.
However, she had just gotten here and did not know how far their relations.h.i.+p had progressed. As such, she could only test it out carefully, step-by-step. This painting was the first step.
She was confused by the feeling Qin Yufeng gave off right now. It was oddness she could not put in words! His character and his actions were completely different.
”Cousin Tong, if you can really fix the painting, I will give it to you. But if you can't, you have to remember to let me come to Qingwei Garden to pick out a painting myself. ”Qin Yufeng raised his brows, a hint of interest flas.h.i.+ng through his eyes.
He could not believe that a girl of just 13 could fix a painting that he could not. He raised his brows up high, forgetting to think about why he had not hesitated to bet with Mo Xuetong. He truly liked the painting. Otherwise, he would not have brought the painting out to several places in such bad weather and had been trapped in the pavilion.
Without them knowing, the distance between the two melted in their light laughter. Qin Yufeng subconsciously turned around to look at the weather after he looked at the beautiful face of the intelligent girl. It was still snowing, but it was falling much lighter than before. Only a few odd flakes fell from the sky slowly in the cold air.
”Cousin Feng, I still have to go see Father. I'll take the painting with me. I will definitely get you to come to take a look at it in a few days.” Mo Xuetong looked at the weather and thought that Bai Yifeng should have left her father's study. She smiled at Qin Yufeng and took the painting with her.
”Alright! Then I will be waiting for your invite.” Qin Yufeng answered with a smile. He seemed rather eager and even bowed to her. Mo Xuetong smiled happily.
Mo Xuetong turned and stepped onto the snowy grounds, holding the painting. Snowflakes fell onto her shoulders and black hair. She still looked like an ethereal fairy.
Mo Xuetong suddenly turned around. Through a curtain of snow, Qin Yufeng felt that her features were exquisite as if she belonged in a painting. Her eyes were no longer cold and were as bright as a burning fire. However, she just smiled at him and then turned around and left.
The fiery look disappeared as suddenly as it had appeared. Qin Yufeng frowned and felt that he had seen wrongly. How could an innocent girl like her look at him like that? He watched as she left and narrowed his eyes subconsciously. The smile in his eyes slowly turned into a sharp look!
Mo Yu had long been waiting outside Mo Huawen's study. When she saw Mo Xuetong approaching, she hurriedly unfolded the cape in her hands and put it onto Mo Xuetong. She asked, ”Miss, did Mo He make a mistake? She's been kneeling in the yard and she didn't say anything when I asked her about it.”
Mo Yu, Mo He, and Mo Lan have grown up together alongside Mo Xuetong. They were closer than sisters. Mo Yu had already received news earlier this morning that their mistress would return and she had cleaned up their courtyard. She was cleaning up her mistress' room when she suddenly saw Mo He entering, her face pale. She only said, ”Miss will be going to Old Sir's study. Go there and wait for her.”
”Do you think that Mo He will not commit any big mistakes?” The wind lifted Mo Xuetong's blue skirt. The snow grew heavy again and large snowflakes landed on her. The peac.o.c.k blue cape that she had just put on was immediately covered in snow. The white snowflakes landed on the blue color, complementing her pale soft cheeks. However, the smile on her lips was cold.
Mo Yu suddenly felt afraid. She looked down and did not dare to look at Mo Xuetong's face.
”Mo Yu, you all have been with me for five, six years, right?” Mo Xuetong smiled slightly, her brows lifted slightly. The smile on her lips became gentle again and she did not turn back to look at Mo Yu. Instead, she looked at the clean falling snow in front of her that landed on the ground.
