Chapter 1249: Mo Ling, A Handsome Young Man

Yuan Yuan met up with his mom five days later.

He stood outside the school gates with a large black school bag as he waited for his mom after school.

He wore his Holy Innocents’ Middle School uniform like all the other students. His uniform was a white t-s.h.i.+rt, a blue casual jacket, and pants. His school uniform couldn’t hide his outstanding looks. His clean and fair forehead, the gentle slopes of his thick eyebrows, his eyes that seemed to be perpetually smiling. His eyes curved prettily like a crescent moon in the sky. He was already a handsome young man. His outstanding features, perfect face shape, and natural charm marked him out from the crowd.

He held his phone in his hands and he was staring so intently at the screen that he didn’t notice that several girls who had emerged from the school gates were secretly snapping photographs of him.

“Look, it’s Mo Ling from cla.s.s 208!” a girl exclaimed in excitement. Her mouth was opened so wide that an entire egg could have fit inside as she quickly snapped a few photographs.

There was also a chubby girl who stared at Yuan Yuan in a daze. She was practically drooling as she stared at him.

“I really want to add him as a friend on WeChat,” she muttered to herself.

The moment she spoke, another girl who had been standing behind her smacked her head hard.

“What a pig! Why don’t you look in the mirror? How could you even have ideas on the most handsome guy in school when you look like that?” The girl who spoke was named Shen Anqi, a 15-year-old who was cla.s.smates with Yuan Yuan. She was the cla.s.s representative for arts and literature. She was also very beautiful and multi-talented, so she was very popular at school.

Yuan Yuan was already used to these girls talking about him behind his back, so he chose to ignore them all. He couldn’t be bothered to talk to them. He quickly ran over when he spotted a familiar car and hopped into the car.

He gave his mom a once-over after he got into the car. His mom was wearing a beautiful black dress that had a unique cutting. He also noticed that his mom was wearing quite a few accessories that day. She was wearing a diamond necklace that was studded with blue stones, dangling earrings that sparkled with blue light, and a beautiful bracelet molded into the shape of a snake.

It was a while since he last saw her all dressed up.

“Mom, you look really great today!” he said with a smile.

He only needed to take one glance at her face to know that she was very happy and even joyous.

A faint blush spread across her cheeks. She was a little surprised because this was the first time her son lavished such praise on her.

She reached out and drew him into her embrace.

“Mo Ling…” she said as she stroked his back.

Her child had grown up and was now a sensible young man. She felt very comforted to know that he didn’t raise any objections after she told him her choice.

Yuan Yuan gave his mom a hug in return. His mom had lost a lot of weight and she seemed even skinnier than the year before.

“Mom, you need to eat more,” he said.

He didn’t want to stick his nose into his mom’s relations.h.i.+p and all he wanted was for his parents to be happy and healthy.

He Xiyan became a little emotional and tears sprang to her eyes.

She blinked and looked at her son with a smile. “I know. Thanks, Mo Ling.”

All mothers would puff up with pride if they had a smart and sensible son, and she was no different either.

Yuan Yuan reached out and wiped the tears from her eyes. Then, he turned to look at Ye Hao who sat behind the driver’s wheel.

“Uncle Ye, I won’t be going to the castle. Please drop us off at the food square,” he said.
