Such an obvious excuse to send Mo Xiyan away, even Ning Yanan caught on.
Mo Xiyan's eyes tightened as he glanced at Mrs. Mo, who showed no expression on her face, making it impossible to discern her thoughts.
Mo Xiyan couldn't forever prevent his mother from speaking alone with Ning Yanan. After hesitating for a second, he still stood up, patted Ning Yanan's hand, and signaled her to relax.
"You don't need to be so restrained, just be yourself. Everything is under my control. Remember what I just said, okay?" he whispered reassuringly.
"Why do you look like I'm some evil mother-in-law set to bully my daughter-in-law when I asked you to get a cup of coffee? Are you really my biological son?" retorted Mrs. Mo upon hearing Mo Xiyan's words, immediately taking offense.
Mo Xiyan, watching her getting worked up, offered no explanation.
With a slight smile, he turned and left the dining room.
