Chapter 756: Chapter 756: Beauty in the Eye of the Beholder, Taking a Beating (1)_1

Xiao Ruiyuan held multiple positions and was swamped with official duties. He originally had no time to visit the Mo Family, but he couldn’t resist the strong yearning in his heart. After spending several evenings clearing his backlog of work, he finally managed to free up half a day and found an excuse to come to the Mo Family.

However, he never expected that he would hear the girl he adored speaking to a wolf in such a... bold and unrestrained manner!

In Xiao Ruiyuan’s heart, the girl he admired was graceful and refined, both beautiful and wise. Even if she misspoke occasionally, it was her most authentic self. But what he witnessed today completely redefined his understanding, almost making him believe he had heard wrong.

Such words, let alone from a woman, even if spoken by a man, would seem coarse and could make one feel uncomfortable. But having roughed it out in the military camps for many years, what hadn’t Xiao Ruiyuan seen or heard? Moreover, the person in question was the one he cherished most. Witnessing this other side of her, so vivid and so real, his heart suddenly surged with indescribable joy!

This, perhaps, was the so-called "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." To like someone is to calmly accept everything about them, even their flaws!

In contrast to Xiao Ruiyuan, whose mind was clouded by love, Mo Qingze, seeing his daughter’s vulgar side for the first time, felt far from good. He closed his eyes, wishing he could cover his ears and brainwash himself, telling himself that what he saw and heard wasn’t real, that it was all an illusion. How could his daughter say such embarrassing things?

But no matter how much he tried to hypnotize himself, Mo Qingze had to accept the fact. Fearing his daughter might utter even more explosive words in front of the guest, he suppressed the urge to give her a good scolding and coughed loudly twice.

Hearing the cough, Mo Yan turned her head sharply and saw her dear father staring at her angrily. And standing beside her father, the tall and elegant figure was none other than the man she liked. However... his icy face and the suppressed laughter in his eyes... what was he playing at?

Mo Yan’s confusion was fleeting. Once she understood why the two men wore such different expressions, her eyes bulged with regret. She wished she could bury herself in a hole and never come out to embarrass herself again!

Embarassment! An unprecedented level of embarrassment!

At this moment, Mo Yan was devastated. As she stood up, tearless and wanting to cry, she tugged at the corners of her mouth, attempting a smile. But facing her father, stone-faced as Duke Zhou, and Xiao Ruiyuan, whose lips curled with a smile, she truly couldn’t muster a laugh—it was enough to make her cry!

Xiao Ruiyuan, moved by her distress, held back his laughter and decided to come to his beloved girl’s rescue, "Princess Hejia is kind-hearted and virtuous to get along so well with the Rui Beast, a feat that truly impresses Sir Xiao!"

If it were any other time, Mo Qingze would have happily agreed with the praise for his daughter. But now, these words only reminded him of his daughter’s earlier indecent behavior. The anger stuck in his chest rose rapidly, darkening his face even more.

Worried that her father would become ill from anger, Mo Yan glared harshly at the person who had caused the trouble and quickly stepped forward to calm her father down, "Father, the house has a distinguished guest. You could have just sent Xin Er to call me. How can you come here yourself? It so happens that yesterday, I found some wild tea, which would be perfect for entertaining Sir Xiao!"

The wild tea mentioned by Mo Yan was the very rare Cloud and Mist Tea, a rarity even in the palace. She had found it not long ago on a cliff during a mountain trip, where there were only four bushes. She transplanted two of them into the Space, and it didn’t take long before they produced new tea.

She roasted the freshly picked leaves right in the Space, keeping a small portion for herself and offering the rest to her father. Mo Qingze, who was already a tea lover, never thought he would have the chance to drink the legendary Cloud and Mist Tea and naturally treasured it greatly, seldom willing to drink it.
