Chapter 668: The Aura of an Old Friend

Initially, Mu Xichen had suggested that he went directly to Tongzhou to pick them up.

However, Old Master Mo insisted on going to the bus station and refused to let Mo Shengxing drive. Hence, he could only go with what the old man wanted.

Guang City was colder than Tong State.

Mo Shengxing had already anticipated this and prepared warm clothing for Old Master Mo.

Old Master Mo was a soldier. In his early years, he was fine even if he were to only wear a singlet on the battlefield in deep winter.

However, as he grew older, his body was no longer as strong as before.

Now he was wearing a thick winter jacket that kept him warm and comfortable.

Mo Shengyun arrived at the train station early. When she saw her brother and grandpa, she smiled brightly and ran up to them, calling out, “Brother! Grandpa!”

She threw her arms wide open and hugged Mo Shengxing and Old Master Mo, saying coquettishly, “Ah, I missed you so much!”

Mo Shengxing put on stern expression and glanced at her. “If you miss us, why haven’t you been coming home?”

Without a trace of guilt, Mo Shengyun grinned and replied, “I’ve been so busy!”

As she spoke, Mo Shengyun turned around and waved at Mu Xichen and the others. “Hurry up, come and help with the luggage!”

Mu Xichen aside, Gu Mingye wished that he himself too, could run up like to Mo Shengyun in a similar manner.

However, he had to appear mature and steady.

He quickened his pace and smiled brightly as he approached them, “Hello, Senior Chief. Hello, Brother Mo.”

Mo Shengxing laughed and patted Gu Mingye’s shoulder meaningfully.

Gu Mingye was a little nervous. He cleared his throat softly and spoke again, “Brother Mo, let me handle the luggage please.”

Mo Shengxing did not decline and simply left it to the man.

On the other hand, Old Master Li sized Gu Mingye up and said, “You’ve turned pale after retiring from the army.”

“Yes.” Mo Shengxing agreed. “If he’s trying to seduce a young lady, he will definitely succeed.”

Li Beinian, whose hand was being held by Mu Xichen, heard this as she approached.

She glanced at Gu Mingye, and noticed that the man, who was usually rather casual and carefree, seemed a little embarrassed and reserved in front of them.

Initially, Li Beinian wasn’t too nervous. However, she didn’t know if it was because she was influenced by Gu Mingye, her heart started beating faster.

She was inexplicably nervous.

Old Master Mo had actually seen Mu Xichen from afar and his gaze naturally fell on the girl whose hand Mu Xichen was holding.

Li Beinian was dressed very simply today. She was wearing a beige turtleneck sweater and a pink coat. She was also wearing a pair of jeans and a pair of Dr. Marten boots. She carried a shoulder bag and tied her hair back. She looked clean and energetic, casual and presentable.

Her features were exquisite and bright. She was bare-faced and did not have any makeup on. However, she looked very energetic.

She stood there quietly yet she did not look delicate. On the contrary, she looked dashing and spirited.

One could tell from her complexion that she was in the pink of health. More importantly, she had the aura of an old friend.

Old Master Mo silently sized her up and formed his impression of her.

She seemed to be the type that Ah Chen would like.

Mu Xichen was well aware of Old Master Mo’s scrutiny. He held Li Beinian’s hand and stood in front of Old Master Mo, and greeted the man, “Grandpa.”

Old Master Mo was wearing a dark-colored Tang suit with neatly done buttons.

His white and clean hair was combed back and he had an extraordinary presence.

Especially his eyes, which were sharp and full of vigor.

Li Beinian quickly greeted, “Grandpa.”

Old Master Mo nodded, took a good look at Li Beinian and said, “She’s a pretty girl.”

Li Beinian smiled gracefully and said, “Thank you, Grandpa.”
