Chapter 261: Whenever I Get Involved With Him, I Feel Like I’m Not Myself (2)
“What is that lady’s name?”
The servant shook her head and said, “She didn’t state anything explicitly. All she mentioned was that her surname is Mo and that Young Master Rong would know who she is.”
Who else could it be apart from Mo Xiyan!?!
Jiang Peihua was immediately alarmed and she frantically got the maids to come downstairs. “You are not allowed to tell the Young Master about this nor breathe a word about it. Understand?”
The maids began working at Old Mr. Rong’s place two years ago. Hence, they had no idea who Miss Mo was and why Jiang Peihua was so uptight and wary of her.
However, they nonetheless respectfully promised, “I know Madam, nothing happened just now. There is some work outside that I haven’t finished yet. I’ll go now.”
Jiang Peihua smiled in awe and said, “Go ahead and work hard. I won’t treat you poorly.”
The maids nodded and retreated. Jiang Peihua walked towards the telephone and thought to herself, Fortunately, Father has gone out to walk his birds in the garden and is not in the living room now. Otherwise, he’ll definitely be infuriated.
Jiang Peihua stared at the phone and zoned out before picking up the call slowly…
…
Upon returning to the bedroom, Luo Anning laid down on the bed to close her eyes and pretend to sleep while Rong Yan leaned against the wall and stared at her back.
Knock-knock…
Jiang Peihua stood outside the door and said, “Rascal, come to the study, Mother has something to tell you.”
Rong Yan raised his brows doubtfully and discovered that Luo Anning was also staring at him with a frown, seemingly worried that they would go back on their words and press them to have children again.
Luo Anning had been urged countless times, and had grown fearful of that topic. Any slight movement would scare her.
Rong Yan shot her a reassuring glance and said, “Go get some rest. I’ll be back soon.”
He then closed the door and exited.
When he headed to the study, Jiang Peihua was already sitting on the sofa, and seemed to be waiting to interrogate him.
Rong Yan smiled and walked towards her with raised brows. “Mother, what’s up?”
“Stop giggling and be serious.” Jiang Peihua was not enticed by her son’s attractiveness at all, and instead chided him as soon as he spoke.
Rong Yan touched the tip of his nose, and withdrew his smile dejectedly. He then put on a solemn look and said, “Mother, I’m serious now.”
After glowering at her beloved son, Jiang Peihua proceeded to hand him a cup of tea and took a sip out of her own. “Rascal, do you still have feelings for Mo Xiyan?”
Rong Yan fiddled with the teacup and looked down to take a whiff of the scent of tea. Upon hearing her words, his fingers trembled and a few drops of tea spilled out.
Jiang Peihua sighed in her heart while Rong Yan returned to his usual composure a moment later. He asked with a smile, “Mother, why did you bring her up out of nowhere?”
“Stop trying to play dumb. Tell me honestly, do you still have feelings for her or not? You and Anning are married. I don’t want anything to disrupt your stable life now, do you understand?” Jiang Peihua said as she looked at him earnestly.
After a long while, Rong Yan nodded and muttered, “… Yes.”
Jiang Peihua could not bear to go on anymore. “I hope you will cherish Anning. I can see that she is a good girl and you and her are the most compatible for each other. Well, I shall not be naggy anymore. I just wanted to remind you that you must be careful and remain aware of your limits.”
Jiang Peihua then left the study with a heavy heart.
Unlike Jiang Peihua who continuously got distracted, Old Mr. Rong was in high spirits during dinner and even had a few drinks with Rong Yan and Luo Anning.
