Mo Xicheng halted . He saw that Madam Mo looked embarrassed at once .
On the outside, Madam Mo came across as a good-natured lady, except that there was a certain melancholy in her eyes .
She and Mo Xicheng’s father were actually a loving couple .
In fact, all of these years, he had paid little attention to Yao Lili .
It was only when he betrayed their marriage many years ago that Madam Mo was cold towards him .
She had a pale complexion because of her poor health .
But even then, she had an aristocratic and elegant air about her . Logically speaking, his mom was a mistress only because of this woman’s existence .
But strangely, Mo Xicheng had never harbored any ill feelings towards Madam Mo . On the contrary, he had an affectionate sort of admiration for her .
Besides, Madam Mo was practically the only person in that household who had ever given him any sense of warmth .
As an illegitimate child, Madam Mo had every reason to despise him .
But he remembered a time in his childhood when he had been ill and his face scarlet with a high fever . His mother had gone out shopping for a new dress to wear on a date with his father .
The young child hadn’t known what to do .
At that time, they had been staying in a small apartment next to the Mo family residence .
He had walked out of the room and, the moment he saw Madam Mo, he had dashed towards her . He had hugged her leg and said, “I feel unwell . ”
At that moment, she had looked upon him with an icy expression .
He jumped in fright and released his grip . Then he saw Madam Mo walking away and retreating into her room .
He stood in the courtyard in a daze . After a while, a housekeeper in the household walked out, picked him up and took him to the hospital .
Although it had been the housekeeper who had come to him, he knew that it had been under Madam Mo’s instructions .
Yao Lili had always been afraid of Madam Mo, but he had never felt that she was scary .
At that moment, he saw that she was standing there looking rather awkward .
Mo Xicheng cast his gaze down and pretended that he didn’t know her . He walked to the side and took out his cell phone to make a call .
Madam Mo silently sighed in relief .
Old Liu glanced at Mo Xicheng and then looked at Madam Mo apologetically . “Looks like I was mistaken, you don’t know each other! But Li Shu, what brings you to Hengdian?”
Li Shu was Madam Mo’s maiden name .
It was an elegant name . But to begin with, she had never dolled herself up glamorously like many of her high society counterparts . Instead, she had the air of an academic .
She was a well-known writer in fact .
In answer to his question, she lowered her gaze and said, “To take in the scenery and take some pictures . ”
Old Liu nodded . The two of them exchanged a few more words before he parted ways with her .
After he was gone, Mo Xicheng, who had hidden in a corner, came out of the shadows and walked to Madam Mo slowly .
He looked at her and spoke respectfully, “What brings you here and how could I help you?”
Madam Mo cast her gaze down and said, “Firstly, I do apologize on behalf of Mo Zhi . ”
That opening statement at once triggered mixed feelings in him .
In order to please his father, his own mother had always pandered to Mo Zhi and berated him .
Madam Mo, however, had her principles .
All things considered, although she would protect her own son, Mo Xicheng felt that at the very least she respected him .
His nose suddenly felt congested, like a wronged child confronted by his parent .
It was strange that he felt like this .
