Chapter 208 Lost and Found
Chapter 208 Lost and Found
She hugged Ling Mo back into her arms, crying with joy, the joy of regaining what she had lost was beyond words.
"Hurry, come into the house with me. I haven't seen you for so many years. I have so many things to say to you and so many stories to share with you!"
Zhao Yuezhao's words were full of eagerness and anticipation, as if he wanted to make up for the time he had lost over the years all at once.
However, when we really meet face to face, I don't know where to start with all the words I have to say.
Zhao Yuezhao looked at Ling Mohui in front of him for a long while before he slowly spoke: "You must have had a hard time on the road. Are you hungry? Are you tired?"
Her voice was soft and full of heartache.
"Fenchan and Chuntang took very good care of me. I ate well, slept well, and everything was fine!"
Ling Mo answered with a smile. Her smile was as warm as spring, as if it could dispel all the coldness and warm people's hearts.
At this moment, the unbreakable affection between mother and daughter is like a ray of sunshine in winter, warm and bright.
Zhao Yuezhao's smile was as warm and bright as the peach blossoms blooming in spring, and her eyes sparkled with joy: "That's great, let's enjoy this long-awaited reunion dinner first!"
Ling Mohui followed Zhao Yuezhao's light steps and slowly sat down on the soft brocade cushion. At this moment, the two maids, Fenchan and Chuntang, each holding a tray full of colorful silks and exquisite pastries, stepped into the room lightly. Their faces were filled with sincere smiles, and it seemed that even the air was filled with sweetness and warmth.
"all these are……"
Zhao Yuezhao's eyes moved around and he looked at Ling Mohui doubtfully, with a hint of confusion and surprise between his brows.
Ling Mohui's lips curved into a gentle arc, and she smiled and said, "Because I don't know what you like, it's my first visit, so I have to show my gratitude, so I prepared these little things, I hope you like them."
Zhao Yuezhao sighed softly, her tone mixed with some sadness and helplessness: "We are mother and daughter, why do we have to be so polite? This makes me feel alienated."
"Mother understands that you may not be able to fully accept me when we first meet. It's okay. Mother is not in a hurry. When you are willing, you can call me mother again."
Ling Mohui's voice was soft but firm. Complex emotions surged in her heart, and she felt guilty for her inadvertently distant name.
Ling Mohui's heart tightened, she realized that the word "Sir" seemed to have touched the pain in Zhao Yuezhao's heart.
This was an unintentional mistake, but in such a warm and affectionate occasion, any explanation seems unnecessary.
"Mom, you misunderstood. I just let it slip out of habit."
Ling Mohui hurriedly explained, her voice full of anxiety and sincerity.
Zhao Yuezhao was stunned when he heard this, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes: "Good boy, call me again!"
"mother."
Ling Mohui's voice was clear and pleasant, like a mountain spring, pure and sweet.
Zhao Yuezhao stroked Ling Mohui's hair with joy, his eyes so gentle that it seemed to be able to melt all the ice and snow in the world.
"My precious daughter, I finally found you! When I was pregnant with you, I didn't know what I was going to face. When I returned to Da Qi, I was targeted by the government. The Xuanfeng Sect has its roots here. I can't just ignore it. I can only deal with them."
"Later, the government's suppression of the Xuanfeng Sect intensified, and many of its branches suffered heavy losses. When you were just born, mother really didn't dare to take the risk of taking you with her, for fear that you would fall into their hands and something unexpected would happen."
"After making inquiries from many sources, I learned that the Lings were kind and benevolent, so I placed you in front of the general's mansion and secretly sent someone to guard you. I didn't leave until I was sure that they would take good care of you."
"After giving birth, my mother needed to return to Daqing to recuperate. In addition, the Xuanfeng Sect was seriously injured, and the power of the capital became weak. It was not until now that I was able to bring you home."
"Mo Hui, I am sorry for making you suffer."
"Mom, I understand your difficulties. Everything you do is to protect me."
"Zhao Lin is a cold kid. I was worried that he wouldn't be able to take good care of you, so I didn't tell him the truth and arranged for someone to take care of you secretly. That kid... does have a good business mind. His business has expanded to Daqing and Daqi. You should have met him, right?"
Zhao Yuezhao asked as he spoke.
Ling Mohui raised her eyebrows slightly, with a bit of curiosity: "Are you talking about Han Zifeng?"
"Yes, that's him."
"It turns out that his special care for me is because of you, mother."
"I once saved him accidentally, so we were destined to be together."
"It turns out there are such coincidences."
Although Ling Mohui answered like this, she was secretly surprised in her heart. Zhao Lin, who was the villain in the original novel, had also been active in Da Qi? Why had she never noticed it?
"Mother, this... is a small gift I prepared for Master Zhao Yu."
Although Ling Mohui had some concerns about Zhao Yu, she still couldn't be careless about etiquette.
"Oh, this little sword is really exquisite. Look at the delicate carving and sharp blade. Yu'er will definitely like it very much!"
Zhao Yuezhao was full of praise. As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to call out to the door, "Yu'er, come quickly, Mohui has brought you a gift!"
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao appears. Ling Mohui just turned around and saw a man in a silver-gray gown leisurely walking in. She was stunned: "He...he is Zhao Yu?"
Zhao Yuezhao was surprised: "You two have been traveling together all this time, but you didn't know he was Zhao Yu?"
"Didn't he call himself Deng Guiping?"
Ling Mohui muttered to herself, her heart full of doubts.
"Deng Guiping is a pseudonym he used to facilitate his movements in Da Qi. His real name is Zhao Yu."
Zhao Yuezhao explained patiently.
The corners of Ling Mohui's mouth twitched slightly. She didn't expect that Zhao Yu, who played the villain in the story, had been hiding by her side.
"Yu'er, come and take a look at the gift that Mo Hui prepared for you."
Zhao Yuezhao handed the dagger to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu glanced at the dagger nonchalantly, but took it naturally. His voice was gentle and calm: "I appreciate Mohui's kindness."
Zhao Yuezhao's face was filled with satisfaction and relief. She pulled the two of them to sit down and said, "One of you is my adopted son, and the other is my biological daughter. At my age, I can still have both a son and a daughter. The joy in my heart is beyond words."
"From now on, please take good care of me, your new sister!"
Ling Mo smiled sweetly, trying to ease the atmosphere.
However, Zhao Yu still had a blank expression on his face, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuezhao quickly came out to smooth things over: "Yu'er is usually like this, not very talkative, please don't mind it."
If Zhao Yu could open his heart easily, he would no longer be the unpredictable Zhao Yu.
