Chapter 856: Chapter 856: The Truth Behind the Broken Engagement (2)

"Mmm, it smells so good, I wouldn’t mind having it as a meal every day," Liu Tinglan nodded eagerly, unable to wait for Mo Yan to hand over the sweet soup, she took the initiative and grabbed the bowl herself.

The large bowl of sweet soup was quickly emptied, and Liu Tinglan, still not fully satisfied, licked the remaining sweet juice off her lips. Looking at Mo Yan as she took the bowl and placed it on the table, she exclaimed with emotion, "Yanyan, you look good, can earn Silver, can cook, and your needlework is not bad either. Even the sweet soup you make is delicious. If I were a man, I would definitely go to Uncle Mo to ask for your hand in marriage!"

As she spoke, her tone turned to displeasure, "You’re so great, yet you got coaxed away by someone with the surname Xiao, hmph, that guy really got lucky!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan poked her forehead with a laugh, "What nonsense are you talking about? You really should let your parents see you like this."

Liu Tinglan muttered, "It’s the truth! That guy is so cold, what do you see in him anyway?"

Mo Yan laughed it off, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, don’t you understand? Doesn’t Brother Shen have flaws too, and you still fell for him?"

At that remark, Liu Tinglan’s already pale face turned a shade of crimson. She was so annoyed that she forgot to even ask who Xi Shi was and protested, "Who’s fallen for him? Don’t you spout nonsense!"

"Oh— so Sister Lan hasn’t fallen for him!" Mo Yan deliberately elongated her tone, then, feigning great sorrow, she said, "Poor Brother Shen has sincerely fallen for Sister Lan, even risking his life to suck out snake venom for her. Such deep affection, doomed to go to waste."

Upon hearing this, Liu Tinglan’s face became even redder, and she angrily snatched a pillow from the bed and threw it at the "nonsense-spouting" Mo Yan.

The pillow on Mo Yan’s bed was handmade by her, filled with soft cotton, not one of those hard porcelain or wooden pillows that could kill someone upon impact.

Mo Yan easily caught the flying pillow with one hand and placed it back where it belonged, but her smile faded, and looking at the slightly uncomfortable Liu Tinglan, she said earnestly, "Even an outsider like me can see Brother Shen has feelings for Sister Lan. Can’t you truly feel it at all?"

Liu Tinglan was taken aback by the question. Her smile gradually disappeared, and it took her a long time to answer, "What difference does it make, whether I can tell or not? Knowing there’s no future, it’s just causing myself pain by being stubborn."

Mo Yan sighed, pulled back the covers, and sat on the bed, "Sister Lan, how can you be certain there’s no future if you’ve never tried? I know you’re concerned about the marriage arrangement with the Du Family, and you don’t want the Liu Family’s reputation spoiled by your hands. But if the problem lies with Young Master Du, would you be willing to strive for a chance at your own happiness?"

The problem lies with Young Master Du?

Upon hearing this, Liu Tinglan intuitively sensed something amiss, and gripping Mo Yan’s hand tightly, she asked, "What problem could Young Master Du have? Yanyan, are you keeping something from me?"

Mo Yan shook her head and said solemnly, "I haven’t kept anything from you, but there are things you should know now!"

Liu Tinglan looked at Mo Yan with tense anticipation, almost able to hear her own heart beating thunderously. She vaguely guessed what her friend was about to say, yet she didn’t know how to react should her suspicions be confirmed.

Seeing her friend’s nervousness, Mo Yan spoke in a gentle, soothing tone, "What I’m about to tell you won’t hurt you, and you shouldn’t feel burdened after hearing it. What you decide to do is entirely up to you."

Despite her words, Mo Yan was resolute about "interfering" until the end, to prevent her friend from continuing down a dark path.

Liu Tinglan took several deep breaths to calm herself, and said, "Yanyan, go ahead, I can take it."
