Quick Wear: Another day of being criticized for falling in love at first sight

Chapter 536: The Republic of China, the Marshal's Gentle Cousin 5

When Mu Yuanzhao learned that the woman in the garden who made his heart beat so fast was actually his cousin on his mother's side, it was like a basin of cold water was poured over him from head to toe, and his joy disappeared in an instant.

He never imagined that what he thought was a match made in heaven would turn out to be an unspeakable fate.

Fortunately, he didn't reveal anything, so it wasn't too embarrassing or even shocking.

He had known about Aunt Lan since he was a child. The kindness she showed to his mother was as heavy as Mount Tai, and everyone in the Mu family always remembered it.

Deep in his memory, he had met this cousin who was a few years younger than him once.

He was still young at that time and only vaguely remembered that his cousin was a somewhat timid child. It was fate that made him never expect that when they met again, such an embarrassing and helpless misunderstanding would occur.

Mu Yuanzhao considers himself a very traditional person with deep-rooted ethical concepts in his heart.

In his opinion, since they were related, there was absolutely no possibility between him and that distinguished guest.

Thinking of this, he clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, and the graceful figure of the elegant guest in the garden and her gentle smile when she looked back kept appearing in his mind. Every detail was like a thorn, piercing his heart.

He didn't expect that the first time he had the so-called desire and thoughts of a man towards a woman, it would cause him such a big misunderstanding. Shame and bitterness were his only feelings now.

As the warlord of South City, the Mu family will never allow such unethical mistakes to occur, and the family's reputation and dignity cannot be damaged in the slightest.

"What are you thinking about? Why is my son so silent today? Is there something else he needs to do in the army?"

The eldest lady was smiling happily just now, but now seeing that her unfilial son turned pale and was in a daze after she finished speaking, she subconsciously wondered if there was something wrong in the army?

Mu Yuanzhao was startled by his mother's gaze, and then he concealed the expression in his eyes and chuckled.

"It's okay, mother. It's just a small matter. I'll go back to the study to take care of some official business."

Mu Yuanzhao stood up and walked up the circular staircase to the second floor.

He didn't expect that a seemingly simple decision, which no one knew about except himself, would be so difficult to make.

He was trained by his father and grew up in a military camp since childhood. He possessed the innate decisiveness of a superior.

But now...

For the first time, he felt an inability to let go.

The instinctive liking and possessiveness for people grew wildly in his heart like weeds, tempting him to give up this decision.

But reason kept reminding him that his identity and responsibilities did not allow him to have contradictory thoughts and actions.

It was not until Mu Yuanzhao went up to the second floor that he slowly adapted to this strange feeling of heartache, and his eyes finally became firm.

Decisively bury that bit of goodwill deep in your heart and be a junior who respects elders.

On the other side, Miaomiao didn’t know that because of meeting her, a certain young marshal actually experienced a brainstorming session.

At this moment, she was sitting under the corridor, and the sunlight shone through the carved gaps in the corridor ceiling, casting patches of mottled light and shadow, falling on the pages of the book she opened.

She was concentrating on reading a borrowed book, her eyes sometimes following the words, sometimes frowning slightly in thought. Suddenly, she sneezed subconsciously and gently rubbed the tip of her nose with her white fingers.

She had learned from Baobao that the original owner entered the school in Nancheng and worked as a teacher about three months later. If she wanted to stop Teacher Sun, the best way was to enter the school in advance.

Thinking of this, Miaomiao let out a breath and decided not to waste a minute. The only thing to do was to continue reading.

Fortunately, the original owner also had a cultural foundation, so it was not difficult to review.

The breeze blew gently, ruffling her hair, and a few strands of hair gently brushed against her cheeks, making her face even more delicate.

Just as Miaomiao was engrossed in watching, Aunt Zhang came over quickly with a smile on her face, breaking the tranquility.

"Miss Miaomiao, the young master has returned from the military camp today, and the lady is so happy.

Someone just came to tell you that we should have dinner early tonight, and then I will introduce the young master to the young lady.

Tell the young lady not to miss dinner time."

Miaomiao raised her head, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile.

"Okay, Aunt Zhang, I understand."

After responding, Miaomiao lowered her head and looked at the book, immersed in the world of the novel.

That’s right, she was originally reading a Chinese book, but the books that Zhang Ma borrowed were quite diverse.

There is a novel with a strong female protagonist in it. It’s really interesting to read this novel without any melodramatic plot and only with striving spirit.

Reading books and learning to read, Miaomiao feels that reading this kind of novel can also improve the original owner's literacy skills...

In short, when Miaomiao came to her senses, the sky had been dyed orange-red by the setting sun, and it was already evening before she knew it.

Only then did she realize how quickly time had passed. After putting the novel in a set of Chinese books, she hurriedly followed Aunt Zhang to the main building for dinner.

Walking on the road and listening to Aunt Zhang's nagging, Miaomiao remembered her nephew Mu Yuanzhao, who was a few years older than her.

Although there is no real blood relationship, the seniority is here.

She remembered that before Aunt Zhang spoke, she had actually seen the eldest nephew. He was very handsome, but for some reason, she felt a sense of nervousness in her heart.

Aunt Zhang was still talking in front, while Miaomiao, who was walking behind, had already started chatting with Baobao.

"Baobao, why do I get goosebumps when I think of my nephew?

Fortunately, my eldest nephew rarely stays in the Marshal's Mansion. I heard that he lives in the military camp every now and then."

Miaomiao adjusted her state, and her steps remained gentle.

"Maybe it's because he's a child of luck? Or maybe it's because he's often on the battlefield and has a lot of evil energy around him?

There's nothing to be afraid of, Miaomiao.

You're one of the best performers in the Stability Maintenance Bureau. I believe nothing can stop you."

Baobao said a few words to comfort him, and then he saw his host, who was very easy to coax, slightly puff out his chest, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be suppressed.

"Hahaha, no way, I'm just trying my best."
