Chapter 276: The Moon Goddess is Angry, Is This Snow Maiden Trying to Cut In Line?
“Am I interrupting you?”
The Snow Maiden, dressed in a blue light gauzy Liuli dress, completed her greeting and smiled as she looked at Li Mo and Fei Yan sitting at the table.
“Not at all, Snow Maiden, please have a seat.”
Fei Yan put down her bowl and chopsticks, motioning to the empty seat beside her.
Li Mo picked up the conversation: “If you don’t mind, you can join us for a bite.”
The Snow Maiden glanced at the clean pair of utensils on the empty seat, her eyes showing a hint of surprise.
“Did the National Advisor know I was coming?”
Even if he knew she was coming, how did he know she hadn’t had dinner yet?
Li Mo held the bowl in one hand and the chopsticks in the other, smiling cheerfully as he said, “Lord Yan Chun invited the Snow Maiden to his mansion; this matter has spread throughout Yan Capital. I’m not blind, nor am I deaf.”
In reality, he had only sensed the Snow Maiden’s arrival a moment ago.
The Snow Maiden bit her lip and looked at him, mustering her courage to ask, “How did you know I hadn’t eaten yet?”
Li Mo pressed his lips together, showing a smile.
“Then it’s even simpler, because my heart hears a voice.”
“Voice?”
The Snow Maiden widened her eyes a bit.
“That’s right, the voice is: I’m so hungry, it seems to be coming from the Snow Maiden’s stomach.”
Li Mo pointed at her flat belly with his chopsticks, seriously joking.
The Snow Maiden covered her stomach and looked down, then burst out laughing.
“The National Advisor is joking; how can a stomach speak?”
She knew that Li Mo was teasing her on purpose.
But for her, this was good news.
Because it proved she hadn’t come to the wrong place.
“Let’s eat first; we’ll talk about anything after we’re done.”
“This was personally cooked by me; Snow Maiden, please sample it.”
After Li Mo said this, he took the lead in digging into the food in front of him.
Fei Yan, on the other hand, maintained a dignified demeanor, eating her vegetables in small bites, chewing slowly.
A small piece of vegetable could take her half a day to finish.
The Snow Maiden looked at Li Mo in surprise.
A gentleman stays away from the kitchen.
You, a dignified National Advisor, actually cooked?
She suddenly had a greatly improved impression of Li Mo; he was completely different from what she had imagined.
He didn’t even have a hint of the airs of a National Advisor.
Spending time with him always felt relaxed and enjoyable.
Compared to the arrogant and oppressive Lord Yan Chun, he was like heaven and earth!
The Snow Maiden didn’t hold back anymore and picked up her bowl and chopsticks to start eating.
Just as she picked up some vegetables to put in her cherry-small mouth, her eyes lit up.
“Mm, delicious!”
Fei Yan paused, smiling softly, “If it’s good, then the Snow Maiden should eat more.”
Saying this, she pushed several dishes over towards the Snow Maiden.
Her thoughtful hospitality and polite attitude made the Snow Maiden momentarily not believe that she was the infamous Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School, known for her sharpness.
After a stick of incense had burned, Fei Yan and the Snow Maiden both set down their bowls and chopsticks.
In fact, Fei Yan had already eaten her fill.
It’s just that I was considering that if I put down my bowl and chopsticks too early, the Snow Maiden would feel uncomfortable eating alone.
Even Li Mo, who had already finished eating, couldn’t help but feel emotional in his heart.
If it weren’t for the fact that I got to know Jing Ni first, Fei Yan would indeed be a deserving choice for a great wife.
This poise, this demeanor, this etiquette—truly remarkable!
The Snow Maiden bowed slightly to them and said, “Thank you both for your hospitality.”
After everyone had finished eating, a servant came to collect the bowls and chopsticks.
Just then, the Moon Goddess returned from her walk outside.
Li Mo raised his neck and said, “Pour a few cups of tea.”
The Moon Goddess paused for a moment, her body stiffened, and then she bit her lip tightly before answering.
“Yes.”
Why am I being asked to pour the tea when there are servants available?
Is it just to bully me?
The Snow Maiden was once again stunned.
She initially thought that the Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School and the Moon Goddess were in a cooperative relationship with this National Advisor, but seeing the obedient demeanor of the Moon Goddess,
it didn’t seem so simple.
What kind of means does this person have?
The people from the Yin-Yang School, especially the women, are notoriously proud!
“Thank you, Moon Goddess.”
The Moon Goddess brought the tea over, and the Snow Maiden didn’t dare to be presumptuous and quickly reached out to take it.
The Moon Goddess remained silent, but the coldness on her face made the Snow Maiden feel a chill.
The Snow Maiden glanced at Li Mo, who was leisurely sipping his tea.
In her heart, she was already anxious, but she didn’t dare to speak rashly.
She could only absentmindedly sip the tea like a little bird pecking at seeds.
Finally, Li Mo put down his teacup and spoke, “Alright, you’ve eaten enough. Please return, Snow Maiden.”
The Snow Maiden’s small hand trembled, nearly dropping the cup on the floor.
After waiting for so long, she received such a dismissal!
“I…I…”
She looked at Li Mo with a pained expression, feeling like she could cry.
I haven’t even said anything, and you’re already sending me away?
Fei Yan discreetly glanced at Li Mo.
Although she didn’t understand why Li Mo said that, she didn’t ask.
……. ….
As a good wife, the husband can interject his opinions, but she cannot interject in her husband’s.
The Snow Maiden was at a loss for words. She had prepared a speech but all of it got stuck in her stomach due to Li Mo’s presence. After being dazed for a long time, she simplified her approach and decided to use the most straightforward and effective method. She knelt down with a thump. “National Advisor, save me!”
The Snow Maiden furrowed her delicate brows and gently bit her lip. This was the only way she could think of! If there was anyone in Yan State who wasn’t afraid of Lord Yan Chun at this moment, it had to be the person before her. The reason she dared to approach was that Li Mo had previously left her with a laid-back impression. Furthermore, she could tell that Li Mo was different from others. She couldn’t see that kind of possessiveness towards her on his face.
“Save you? How can I save you?” Li Mo shook his head. “It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but you have to understand that I won’t stay in Yan State for long. Even if I can help you this time, what about next time?”
“This is Lord Yan Chun’s territory. He may give me face this time, but what if I leave?” Since Lord Yan Chun was so unreserved this time, it indicated that he was determined to have the Snow Maiden.
The Snow Maiden’s face gradually turned pale, losing its radiance like a heart that had given up. Li Mo continued, “And you must understand one thing, Miss Snow Maiden: we are mere acquaintances. Why would I take the risk of offending Lord Yan Chun to help you?”
Although his words were somewhat harsh, they were very realistic. Just like what the Snow Maiden said to Gao Jianli, it was very much the truth! “I… I’m the Snow Maiden, and I’ve acted recklessly.” At that moment, the Snow Maiden’s heart felt like dead ashes. Initially, she had come with a mindset of trying her luck, but unexpectedly found Li Mo’s attitude was very friendly. However, now that she was begging him, he had become indifferent and unfeeling. What kind of person was he?!
The Snow Maiden’s emotions were like a rollercoaster, rising and falling unpredictably. Fei Yan’s gaze flickered as she looked at the Snow Maiden’s stunningly beautiful face. Suddenly, she spoke, “Actually, it’s not difficult to make Lord Yan Chun give up on his thoughts.”
The Snow Maiden’s eyes lit up, as if dead ashes had come back to life. “Please enlighten me, My Lady, Dongjun.”
Fei Yan smiled enigmatically and said, “If Lord Yan Chun knew that the Snow Maiden is the National Advisor’s woman, even if he had several more guts, he wouldn’t dare to…”
Clang!
The Moon Goddess, who had been listening beside, suddenly crushed the teacup in her hand.
She coldly glared at the Snow Maiden.
“Are you trying to cut in line?”
