53 Intimate Moment: Tea, Touch and Tangled Emotions. Huo Yue's Past, A Mother's Pursuit of Love.

The two of them, alone in the backyard.

Huo Yue's question awaited a response.

Shit. Now, she'll think I'm some kind of degenerate getting kicks from watching her make tea. Honestly, there's no sexual pleasure in watching her do that, but Mingyu had me feeling like every activity with a woman was somehow sexual *mental facepalm* that woman...

Yang Wei raised his hand, saying, "Sorry to disturb. I was just stretching my legs. Maybe when Wu Fengtian wakes up, we'll check on Huo Zhenwei." He acted as though he never even heard her question.

Huo Yue replied, "Silly Wei Shuai, that's not what I asked. I wanted to know if you wanted to join me for tea."

Yang Wei kept his gaze on her.

Her voice... I can tell it's hiding a lot of pain...

When Huo Yue turned, he noticed tear stains on her beautiful face.

Walking a bit closer, he remarked, "You've been crying."
