Chapter 22: Stubborn but Soft-hearted

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Thus, that night at Tao Yi Hotel, everyone present witnessed Zhang Lan raising her microphone and barking like a dog on stage. Qin Ran stood at the side with her hands behind her back and a meaningful smile on her lips.?This is just the beginning. If you bully me again in the future, I will definitely make you suffer.

After that, Qin Ran got off the stage and placed the red string in Mrs. Qin’s hand. Then, she left without looking back.

The amount of time she stayed in the hotel is the amount of time Butler Zhang and the chauffeur waited at the entrance.

“Uncle Zhang, why didn’t you go back earlier?” Ever since she got familiar with the place, Qin Ran called Butler Zhang ‘Uncle Zhang’ out of habit.

“I’m worried when Young Madam doesn’t go back.” 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

“Thank you, Uncle Zhang.”

Blood relations were something that was hard to say most of the time. In this world, how many people had the same blood flowing in their bodies, yet they still turned against each other and became enemies? How many people, even though they were strangers who met by chance, could give up their entire heart?

“Young Madam, is there something on your mind?”

Butler Zhang’s observation was meticulous. Usually, after Qin Ran got into the car, if she kept playing video games on her phone, it meant that she was very happy today. If she didn’t speak or look out of the window, then she most likely had something on her mind.

“Uncle Zhang, do you think your family will treat you well, or will the people around you treat you well?”

This question caused Butler Zhang to chuckle. In the eyes of ordinary people, the so-called family members were all people they were familiar with.

“That’s hard to say. It varies from person to person and from living environment. In short, I think the most important thing is to not let down those who are good to you. You should not give too much sincerity to those who are not good to you. If you can’t do any of these two things, you can’t live a comfortable life.”

“I didn’t expect Uncle Zhang to be a big life man. These principles are really simple and easy to understand, but very practical.”

Butler Zhang was considered half an orphan. From a young age, he and his mother depended on each other for survival. When he came to the Mo Family to work, he was only in his teens. It was Old Master Mo who saw that he was calm in his actions and was willing to work hard without any complaints. He specially sent him overseas to learn butler’s knowledge from the Garden Residence and so on. After he returned from his studies, he assigned him to be the butler for Mo Chi. For almost twenty years, he had been managing the residence well.

Qin Ran held her chin and listened to Butler Zhang talk about the past with great interest. For a moment, she forgot about the unhappiness just now.

“What did you go to Tao Yi Hotel for?” When Butler Zhang was waiting for Qin Ran in the car, he received a call from Mo Chi. Therefore, Mo Chi had been waiting for Qin Ran.

“To sever the ties from the past and to welcome my new life,” Qin Ran said as she walked to the kitchen. She, who hadn’t eaten anything at the banquet, was already hungry.

“Auntie Sun, bring the food up. Let’s eat.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Ran turned her head with a puzzled expression. “It’s already past eight. Why haven’t you eaten yet?”

“I’m not hungry.” Mo Chi was stubborn. He was clearly waiting for Qin Ran to come back and eat together.

He had been alone for more than thirty years. He realized that it was such a wonderful thing for the two of them to have dinner together when the lass waited for him to eat together the previous time. Besides, they are a family now. He has a wife and a child. Shouldn’t they eat together?

Qin Ran nodded. She wouldn’t think too much about it. She really thought that Mo Chi hadn’t eaten until now because he wasn’t hungry.

“This soup is really delicious.” Qin Ran loved to drink soup since she was young. She liked to drink all kinds of soup.

“Even if it’s delicious, you can only drink two bowls at most.” When he thought of the Qin Ran who had gastric pain last time, Mo Chi’s heart ached even though he was very willing to rub her stomach. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

Qin Ran pouted. In her heart, she felt that the Mo Chi in front of her was like her own parent. He had to care for her even when she returned home late, and he had to care for her when she ate a lot during dinner.

After dinner, Mo Chi dragged Qin Ran out for a walk in the garden. He said that pregnant women should walk around more, which was good for their health.

There were a few stalks of nocturne beside the crossroad, and they were in full bloom but there wasn’t much fragrance when Qin Ran went closer to smell them.

“Stay away.” Mo Chi held her shoulders and gently moved back.

“I don’t think that’s a good name. If there’s no fragrance, why is it called nocturne?”

“You care quite a bit,” Mo Chi teased.

“But not as much as you. Who cares why I came home late and didn’t let me eat too much?”

As expected, she was still childish and actually bore a grudge over such trivial matters. However, Mo Chi felt comfortable listening to her. He just wanted to keep caring for her.

“Look at that place.” Mo Chi raised his hand and pointed to an empty space in front of them. “We can install a slide there for the baby in the future and let him play as he pleases.”

“That’s nice. Then I’ll come to your house as a guest and I’ll be able to slide.”
