Chapter 146 - You Yuechengs Misfortune (2/2)

She snorted coldly. You Yuecheng might want to vent his anger on her, but she did not want to be vented on!

She lifted her head and smiled at You Yuecheng lightly with a distant expression. Her clear eyes were very dark and looked as if there were dark colors dancing in them. One could not see how she was feeling but You Yuecheng could sense that there was not a hint of fear or panic in them.

You Yuecheng knew that his cold expression was fear-inducing, especially when he was angry. Even his own sister would avoid him in his current state. He did not expect the delicate girl in front of him to be so brave. A hint of darkness flashed through his eyes.

Li Youmo, who was standing beside him, quickly hid the expression of ridicule on his face.

“I heard the rumors in the capital say that His Excellency You is the most polite, elegant, gracious person and was a magnanimous person. I hope that you will be as gracious as you once were and forgive my fourth sister for what she said. She is just like me and we are women who live in our boudoirs and are ignorant. If she had said something to insult you, I hope that you will forgive her. You came to the Mo Manor today, but had gotten so angry. It is the fault of the Mo Manor. I will ask father to apologize on behalf of us sisters.”

Mo Xuetong’s words were extremely polite. However, she pointed out that no matter how powerful You Yuecheng was, he was still a guest in the Mo Manor. He had, on the lands of his guests, made an ignorant and delicate young lady of the boudoir cry from his scolding. This was certainly not something that a gentleman should do. You Yuecheng might as well leave the capital if their father, a third grade official, apologized to him.

You Yuecheng was stunned when he recalled that he was a guest in the Mo Manor. He came to his senses and realized that he was indeed too harsh on Mo Xueqiong. Even though Mo Xueqiong’s words had not been very nice and were full of intent to frame her sister, that was a private matter of the Mo family. As a duke’s son, he should just listen to it graciously as if it were a joke. How could he be so rash and scold her so badly that she had run away?

He was annoyed. He was indeed too rash earlier.

Mo Xuetong curtsied deeply, looking extremely guilty.

Li Youmo had not expected You Yuecheng to lose control and could sense his awkwardness. He continued to fan himself silently and glanced at Mo Xuetong. He could not help but admire her. This girl was not simple. It was really unexpected. She was great! When he saw how You Yuecheng was stuck, he stood to the side and watched the rare embarra.s.sed look on him!

“Third Young Miss Mo, you are too polite. It was my fault! Some bad things happened at home and I lost control of my emotions. I apologize and please pa.s.s my apologies to Fourth Young Miss Mo.” You Yuecheng gritted his teeth and humbled himself. He dredged up a smile and reached out to get Mo Xuetong to rise. No matter what, he had to settle this issue today. It would be terrible for his reputation if this were to spread. He was not the son his father doted on the most!

From Mo Xuetong’s angle, You Yuecheng’s expression looked stiff. Fortunately, she did not intend to argue with You Yuecheng about this. You Yuecheng had only lost control because he had been suffering all day. She knew when to stop and stood up, avoiding You Yuecheng’s hand.

“Your Excellency You, you do not have to be so kind. It is we, the Mo sisters who have embarra.s.sed ourselves. I will leave now and take a look at my sisters.” Mo Xuetong looked up, her charming eyes were distant and held a trace of a smile. One could not blame her, her sisters had been shamed and bullied. Was there anyone who could continue laughing?

You Yuecheng could not ask her to stay. He nodded, and in a rare show of humility, smiled at her.

Li Youmo rubbed his chin and watched Mo Xuetong leave with a thoughtful expression. It was hard to see his thoughts through his eyes.

“Brother Youmo, what do you think of this incident?” You Yuecheng turned around and sighed, panning his hands out in front of Li Youmo with a bitter smile. He regretted his decision to accompany Li Youmo to the Mo Manor. First, Li Youmo had proclaimed that he had to marry Mo Xuemin in Mo Huawen’s study, making Mo Huawen so angry that Mo Huawen had sent them out. He had not even said anything and was given the cold-shoulder together with Li Youmo!

When had the renowned You Yuecheng been so embarra.s.sed!

Then, things had deviated from his original plan. Mo Xuemin appeared and argued with Li Youmo. Li Youmo had made it hard for him to speak. Then, Mo Xueqiong appeared, and that situation was even worse. All she had left unsaid was that he and Mo Xuemin were having an affair. What kind of person was Mo Xuemin? She was the woman Li Youmo was about to marry. If Li Youmo discovered that he and Mo Xuemin had met in private, it would be a disaster.

That might make Li Youmo suspicious. Or he might already be suspicious, or why would he say all that! This possibility made You Yuecheng explode in anger after Mo Xueqiong had said her piece. He had retorted against her unkindly. He wanted to show Li Youmo that there was nothing going on between him and Mo Xuemin!

Because he had only been thinking about Li Youmo, he had embarra.s.sed Mo Xueqiong and she had run away crying!

This, what exactly happened… You Yuecheng could not help but smile bitterly and admit that he was just unfortunate in this situation.

This misfortune… was really baffling!
