"You child, you've grown quite distant from your aunt as you've grown up, but you're still closer to your cousin."
Shangguan Murou's words were loaded with meaning, and she wore a faint smile. From an outsider's perspective, one would probably think that Shangguan Murou was an extremely gentle aunt.
However, Mo Shisheng found Shangguan Murou's appearance nauseating. He wondered if she got tired of acting all day long.
Since Shangguan Murou is putting on an act, Mo Shisheng, a drama queen who deserves an Oscar, naturally has to play along.
Mo Shisheng chuckled softly, "Auntie, what are you saying? I'm not being distant with you at all, but my cousin is about the same age as me, so we naturally talk more."
"That's true. Look at Aunt's talkative mouth. I imagine Second Brother and his family will arrive in the capital tomorrow. Then Yan'er will have a few more people to talk to." Shangguan Murou subtly brought up Shangguan Zhi's family.
Mo Shisheng raised an eyebrow slightly, "That's true, but since Uncle's two daughters went to the suburbs, they certainly don't have the same close relationship as my cousin."
“Yes, that’s exactly what I was worried about.” Shangguan Murou’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. “Father, Xue’er and Ying’er have always been aloof from others. I wonder if they’ll still be the same after they come back this time.”
"You're right, that's because you're cold to others. Yan'er is their sister, how could she not get along with them?"
Shangguan Murou is Shangguan Leiting's biological daughter, and Shangguan Leiting can figure out what she's thinking to some extent.
The food was slowly served while they were talking, and Shangguan Leiting said, "Stop talking and eat first."
"yes."
Mo Shisheng picked up her chopsticks and her eyes lit up slightly when she saw the sweet and sour fish that was quite far away. She glanced at the distance, realizing she couldn't reach it all...
Forget it, let's eat something else.
Just as Mo Shisheng looked away, she noticed a slender hand reaching out, and then a piece of pickled fish with bones removed was placed in her bowl.
Mo Shisheng was slightly taken aback, then looked up at Shangguan Xuan with a slightly cold gaze.
She placed the fish that Shangguan Xuan had given her aside and didn't touch it until she finished her meal.
After lunch, Mo Shisheng felt a bit full, so she told Jiang Ge and Jiang Yao to go back first while she went for a walk by the lake.
A row of willow trees is planted along the lake. As time goes by, summer is slowly approaching, and the sun is getting stronger.
Mo Shisheng hadn't walked far when beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She walked to the shade of a tree and quietly watched the shimmering surface of the lake.
"Yan'er seems to be deliberately avoiding me."
A voice suddenly sounded behind him, but Mo Shisheng didn't turn around, "Big brother is overthinking it."
"Is that so?"
Shangguan Xuan's lips curled slightly as he took steps closer to Mo Shisheng, his body extremely close to hers.
His warm breath sprayed onto Mo Shisheng's face with each breath, causing her to furrow her brows slightly and turn her face away.
Seeing that Shangguan Xuan was deliberately blocking her way, Mo Shisheng gently raised her eyes to look at Shangguan Xuan, "Please move aside, elder brother."
"What if I don't?" Shangguan Xuan raised an eyebrow. He liked to see the faint helplessness in Mo Shisheng's eyes.
Because she never knew how captivating her expression was.
Seemingly anticipating Shangguan Xuan's shameless reply, Mo Shisheng shrugged lightly, "Fine, after all, a good dog doesn't block the way. If my brother insists, I can't say anything."
