Chapter 702: Chapter 702: The Father Who Traps His Daughter Met His Son-in-law (3)_1

She laughed to herself for a while but then felt it was not right. Murmuring, "Father is thin-skinned; this matter would be too damaging to his dignity as a father. It’s better to bear it and not mention it! Sister, what do you think... hmm? Sis, what are you thinking about?"

Xin Er spoke at length, but seeing no response from her sister, she turned her head and saw Mo Yan deep in thought, and couldn’t help but nudge her arm.

Mo Yan came back to her senses and masked her expression with a smile, saying, "It’s nothing, just thinking about the guests we have to invite for the feast on the twenty-eighth."

Upon hearing this, Xin Er did not suspect anything and asked with expectation after hesitating for a moment, "Sis, will our family invite Brother Xiao?"

Mo Yan’s eyelids twitched, and she asked with feigned curiosity, "Why does Xin Er bring up Sir Xiao? Do you hope Sir Xiao can come?"

Xin Er nodded vigorously, "Brother Xiao is very nice; Father likes him a lot, and so does Zhenzhen, and even you are nicer to Brother Xiao than to Brother Yan. Wouldn’t it be great to invite him?"

She’s nicer to Bro Xiao than to Yan Junyu? Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, wondering how the girl came to see that.

As if detecting her confusion, Xin Er analyzed solemnly, "Firstly, you call him ’Bro Xiao’ and refer to Brother Yan as ’Young Master’; secondly, you’ve said that people act more casually in front of those they are familiar with, and you are much more polite in front of Brother Yan than in front of Brother Xiao... All these show that Brother Xiao is closer to you in your heart than Brother Yan..."

Mo Yan listened and broke into a cold sweat. When had this girl’s eyes become so sharp? She wondered how Xin Er had come to notice this! It seems she’d have to be cautious the next time Bro Xiao visited, lest the girl notice something else.

However, Xin Er’s next words nearly made her stumble and fall to the ground.

"Alas, although Brother Xiao is nice, he is too cold and much older, not matching you at all! Maybe once you’ve reached marriageable age, Father could consider inviting him to be his son-in-law." Xin Er sighed, her pretty face growing more beautiful each day showed nothing but melancholy.

Mo Yan’s heart skipped a beat. Fearing that the young girl would say something even more startling, she pretended to be angry and scolded to cut off her sister’s words, "Should a young lady be saying such things? What will others think of you if word gets out?"

Unwillingly, Xin Er shut her mouth but couldn’t help muttering softly, "But what I said isn’t wrong. Next year you will come of age. I accidentally overheard Father telling Uncle Han the other day that he has found a nice match for you in the Academy and plans to make it clear once the autumn imperial exam results come out. You don’t know and aren’t worried, but I’m worrying for you!"

Mo Qingze had not mentioned this to Mo Yan, and hearing this from Xin Er, she exclaimed, "Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?"

Xin Er smiled sheepishly, feeling somewhat embarrassed, "Father caught me eavesdropping and forbade me from telling you. Had I not lost control today, I wasn’t planning on informing you!"

Mo Yan felt helpless and touched her forehead. She had been planning to find a good time to talk to her father about her and Bro Xiao. Now, her father had already chosen someone else for her... How was she supposed to bring it up!

Xin Er thought her sister was unwilling. Seeing her sister’s troubled expression, she stuck out her tongue and dared not say any more.

...

Mo Yan was entangled the whole night with the matter her father had kept hidden and her own secrets from him, tossing and turning in her bed like frying pancakes. The next day, with dark circles under her eyes, she leaned over the desk writing invitations. Under her own name, she wrote to Yan Junyu, the Liu Family, the Han Family, Tong Manager, and Owner Mu, and after much hesitation, she also wrote one to Xiao Ruiyuan.
