Mo Mingzhu bit her lip to suppress the jealousy that was surging uncontrollably.

Outside the door.

Mo Yangzhou stood there for a long time. The night wind blowing through the hall occasionally made a humming sound, as if someone was sobbing softly.

The candle in his hand had already gone out.

He probably knew what Mingzhu was angry about, so he sighed lightly and turned away.

He walked through the corridor and came to a room, a dark room with only moonlight shining in. His eyes had adjusted to the darkness, and he placed the extinguished candlestick on the table and opened the window at the back.

The rustling sound of the bamboo forest came over instantly.

Mo Yangzhou stood there for a long time without moving.

The daughter mentioned her mother more and more often. The man looked at the bamboo forest in the moonlight. There was a little confusion in his calm eyes. He really didn’t know how to communicate with such a big child.

If……

Mo Yangzhou lowered his eyes and didn’t think any further. The wind blew past, taking away only his sigh.

Jiang Wu finally found an opportunity to go to Mo Yangzhou.

When she arrived, as soon as she entered the door, she saw the person standing there.

The man in a thin blue shirt was well-mannered, and his eyes were gentle and affectionate, but they didn’t make people feel uncomfortable.

“Madam.”

Mo Yangzhou saluted.

Jiang Wu felt strange. For a moment, when the man called her like that with his shining eyes, she felt that the word “Madam” did not mean the same thing as when other people called her “Madam”. It was…

The thought made her face slightly hot.

Even if she was avoiding him, even if she was deliberately not seeing him, the peace and security she felt at this moment, as if she were returning home, made her unable to deceive her heart.

If only they were a family.

“Get up.” She spoke as calmly as possible.

After Mo Yangzhou invited them into the house, Qingyang avoided them as usual.

There were only two of them left in the room, but the man was standing a little far away. After Jiang Wu sat down, she waved at him: “Come here.”

She called out so naturally, with an unpolluted mind and well-maintained appearance, so that although she was not as pretty as a young girl, she was delicate and pretty without any sense of incongruity.

The man hesitated for a moment before moving slightly closer.

Only then did Jiang Wu realize that something was wrong.

Was this a way of getting angry with her?

When she realized this, she was not angry but found it amusing.

She almost thought that Mo Yangzhou was a temperless clay figure. This was the first time he seemed to be throwing a tantrum at her.

Jiang Wu already had a smile on her face, and she urged the man who had only taken a small step: “Come closer.”

The man seemed helpless and finally sat down opposite her.

Before he sat down, Jiang Wu pointed to the seat next to her and said, “Come sit here.”

Mo Yangzhou was stunned for a moment. Seeing him looking at her, Jiang Wu quickly restrained the frivolous smile on her face.

The man would never disobey her, so after hesitating for a moment, he sat next to her.

The relationship between the two could be said to be innocent, but it was also not innocent. At least such closeness did exist, but Jiang Wu could feel the tense body of the man beside her.

She tentatively held the man’s hand on her leg and felt him stiffen for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

“Are you used to living here?”

“Um.”

“Is there anything you don’t like?”

“No.”

The two of them exchanged a few words, and Jiang Wu felt that his body seemed to be getting more and more tense, so she mercifully let him go and took her hand away. However, this action somehow triggered a mechanism in this man, and the man who had been motionless just now suddenly grabbed Jiang Wu’s hand, which was about to be withdrawn.

“Madam.”

Jiang Wu was a little stunned. She saw the slightly red corners of Mo Yangzhou’s eyes. She always thought that such an expression, whether it was a man or a woman, should be made by someone younger and more beautiful to look pitiful. However, she never knew that when she saw it on this face that had experienced decades of wind and frost, it still made her heart feel suffocated.

Perhaps it was because at this age when one could already control one’s emotions, such a loss of control was even more heartbreaking. Perhaps it was because Jiang Wu already had guilt in her heart, or perhaps it was simply because this was Mo Yangzhou.

Jiang Wu was indeed heartbroken.

“Madam,” Mo Yangzhou’s eyes were red but he still had a faint smile on his face, “If I say that I can’t help missing you, and now I can’t help wanting to hug you, will you be so angry that you won’t see me again?”
