Volume 1 Chapter 82 Having Tea In The Greenhouse (1/2)
Mo Yuan went to the greenhouse only to find Han Luo and Ma Rui there, drinking tea and gossiping to their heart's content. It was a sunny day, so they were in the greenhouse enjoying the beautiful flowers and smell of soil while drinking tea. On Han Luo's lap, there were two white, chubby rabbits. Mo Yuan knew them very well they were Yin and Yan, Han Luo's precious pets.
Ma Rui noticed Mo Yuan first and beamed. ”Good morning, my child. Have you slept well?”
Mo Yuan was confused when his mother spoke with such affection. He nodded. ”I have slept well. When did you arrive?”
Ma Rui replied, ”About two days ago.” She poured tea for her son.
Mo Yuan had the same question as Han Luo. ”Why wasn't I informed?”
'Oh my! Now they talk alike as well!' Ma Rui was thrilled. ”I was barely at home and it also seemed that you were busy.” She was grinning ear to ear.
Mo Yuan sat down and said, ”No matter how busy I am, I always have time for my mother.”
Ma Rui was happy to be with her son after so long. ”Have you not become mature? After staying without a mother for so long, you must've missed me a lot.”
Mo Yuan took a sip of the chamomile tea and answered, ”Not at all. I was so busy with my studies and homework that I had almost forgotten about you.”
”My!” Ma Rui exclaimed. She was upset that her son had yet to learn how to coax a woman.
”Big brother Yuan! You are really heartless, aren't you? How can you talk to mom like that after six years? You should hug her and say 'Mom, I missed you'. You shouldn't say that you had forgotten about her. It hurts a lot, you know!” Han Luo scolded him. Then she looked at Ma Rui and complained, ”Mom, you have no idea what big brother Yuan told me after meeting me after all these years! He said that he had forgotten me completely. It hurt so much when he said that in such a nonchalant way.”
”*Nani?!” Ma Rui thought that she was going to have a heart attack. 'My son, are you trying to ruin your love before it has time to bloom?' The thought of it gave her a fright.
Mo Yuan's countenance stiffened in embarrassment. ”I was joking. I didn't mean it like that. Forgive me, Ah Luo.” His voice was calm and sincere when he spoke. He didn't mean to hurt her; he was just trying to hide how happy he was when he met her after six years.
'Ah Luo?' Ma Rui was shocked to hear that her son was calling Han Luo so intimately. Her emotions were going up and down wavering like a roller coaster. She felt as though she was dragged deep into the ocean, but in the next second, she was lifted into the sky.
”Hmph!” Han Luo didn't look at him and turned to look elsewhere instead. Her face was tinting red as she fumed in fury.
