Chapter 65: Gu Yanran

Just as she turned around, she caught sight of the three people standing not far away.

"Brother Mo," Lin Chuyi greeted awkwardly. Thinking of how she had just been rolling around on the ground like a mud loach right in front of him, she felt a wave of embarrassment.

Mo Yu's face broke into a full smile as he took a step toward her. "Yiyi."

Lin Chuyi's cheeks flushed slightly. Just as she was searching for words to ease her embarrassment, a faint commotion drifted over.

*Ha, heaven helps me!*

Lin Chuyi cackled gleefully in her heart, though on the outside she maintained a deliberately demure expression. "Brother Mo, you're here. Why didn't you make a sound?"

Mo Yu knew her thoughts all too well, but chose to play along. "Seeing that you and Little Jiu were having so much fun, we didn't want to intrude."

"Hello, Big Brother," Lin Chuyi's younger brother, Lin Jiujiu, chimed in sweetly.

Mo Yu smiled and pinched Little Jiu's cheek. Seeing the boy's eyes still sparkling with anticipation, he helplessly reached into his robes and pulled out a tael of silver for him.

"Thank you, Big Brother," Lin Jiujiu accepted it happily, the smile on his little face impossible to conceal.

Mo Yu glanced at Lin Chuyi and laughed, "Don't thank me. Thank your eldest sister—it's all thanks to her good teaching."

True to form, the obedient Lin Jiujiu turned and thanked Lin Chuyi as well, making her face turn a brilliant shade of crimson.

Hey, if you have something to say, just say it! Honestly, why beat around the bush and make veiled remarks?

Mo Yu's handsome face retained its smile. He found that this girl actually looked quite adorable when she was angry.

Fortunately, the commotion grew louder, instantly pulling Lin Chuyi's attention away.

"Let's go take a look."

Dropping those words, Lin Chuyi bolted off eagerly.

By the time the others registered what was happening, she had already dashed far ahead and was now crouching behind a wall, sticking her rear end out as she eavesdropped.

Lin Qiyue rubbed his forehead speechlessly, though he remained relatively calm since he was already used to it.

"Tsk tsk, I wonder what kind of scoundrel will end up marrying her. I genuinely feel sorry for him," Mo Sang started running his mouth again.

In short, according to him, he simply couldn't bear to see Lin Chuyi and Lin Qiyue getting away with anything.

As soon as those words left his mouth, Lin Qiyue, Lin Jiujiu, and Lin Jiuyue glared at him furiously. Nobody was allowed to badmouth members of their family except themselves.

Mo Sang was so busy bickering with the three siblings that he failed to notice the inscrutable gaze directed at him from the side.

"Isn't that the young lady?" Lin Jiuyue asked in surprise, staring at the three figures not far away. Wasn't one of them the girl to whom her eldest sister had given a hair ornament that morning?

Lin Chuyi shot her a sideways glance. "What do you mean, 'that young lady'? She has a name—Gu Yanran. Where are your manners?"

Lin Jiuyue's pretty face turned red. The girl hadn't even introduced herself, so how was she supposed to know her name?

Mo Yu watched with amusement as Lin Chuyi plastered herself against the wall like a gecko. He never would have imagined that one day he would engage in peeping with someone.

The spot Lin Chuyi had chosen was superb. The wall completely concealed their figures, and with tree branches hanging down overhead, there was no way the people over there could spot them.

"What has Yiyi seen?" Mo Yu stepped forward imperceptibly.

The distance between their bodies closed even further; a slight shift from Lin Chuyi would have her landing squarely in Mo Yu's embrace.

Lin Chuyi pouted in dissatisfaction, feeling somewhat dejected. "I haven't seen anything yet. Right after I got here, they stopped talking. They're just standing there face-to-face like a pair of fools, and who knows what they're doing."

Mo Yu looked down at the person whose head didn't even reach his shoulder, his handsome face filled with smiles. "If Yiyi wants to know, we can just call them over and ask."

Lin Chuyi curled her lip in silent mockery, assuming he was merely joking. Who did he think they were? Would people just come when summoned, and answer whatever questions were thrown at them?
