"Can you really come back?" Gan Tiantian expressed particular skepticism, thinking how could Qin Qin possibly return after being caught by that old wolf, Master Mo?
"Alright, stop nagging, you go back first." Sending Gan Tiantian off in the taxi, Qin Qin waited where she was.
A few minutes later, Mo Yunchen’s Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped in front of her, and she walked up to it with a smile.
"Where to?" Since this route was clearly not the way back to the villa, she asked doubtfully.
"Dinner at the Mo Residence tonight, then we’ll let the old man know about our plans to get married," Mo Yunchen said, his use of "old man" leaning toward the preference of his second personality—that is, referring to Mo Cang as the "old man," though in front of others he still called him Dad.
So much had happened recently, and a piece of good news was finally in store; of course, Mo Yunchen had to share it with Mo Cang.
Qin Qin nodded in agreement.
The car quickly arrived at the Mo Residence, and Mo Cang had long been informed of Mo Yunchen and Qin Qin’s visit. He instructed Steward Min to prepare dishes the two loved. Ever since the incident with Mo Haoxuan, the Mo Residence had become quieter and chillier, for although members of the Mo Family branches did visit him occasionally, it wasn’t the same as having his own family around.
"Master, the young master and Miss Qin are back," Steward Min announced cheerfully as he walked in from outside. Mo Cang rose from the sofa, watching Mo Yunchen walk in, hand-in-hand with Qin Qin.
Qin Qin handed over the Spiritual Tea and Spirit Fruit she had taken out from her space to Mo Cang, and Steward Min joyfully accepted them, "Miss Qin, there’s no need for such formality, we’re all family here."
"Uncle likes to drink it, so I brought some tea and fruit."
Eating more of these things was beneficial for Mo Cang, who looked much better today than on that day; it seemed he had grieved enough and had come to terms with his sorrow.
"Steward Min, let’s start the meal," Mo Cang said joyfully as he sat with his son and his son’s future wife.
Before all the dishes were served, Mo Yunchen suddenly grasped Qin Qin’s hand, looking towards Mo Cang, "Lately it’s been one unhappy event after another. We’re here today to tell you some good news."
"Good news?!" Mo Cang was startled, glancing at Qin Qin and then bursting into laughter, "Could it be that Qin Qin is pregnant? Indeed, that would be good news."
His son was indeed efficient, but for Qin Qin, who was so young, he wondered whether that would be a mental burden?
Seeing how much his son cherished Qin Qin, he wondered if it was on purpose to make sure she got pregnant and thus bind Qin Qin to him.
Mo Cang imagined a series of scenarios, which, if Mo Yunchen heard, would lead to a round of teasing.
Steward Min was also grinning ear to ear at the side; new life was finally going to be added to this family, and it was such wonderful news.
"Old man!" Mo Yunchen’s face became stern as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Isn’t it?" Mo Cang’s voice suddenly became subdued; what else could constitute good news?
"We are planning to get married!"
Like a bolt from the blue, Mo Cang’s mouth dropped open. Had he heard wrong? "You’re... getting married?"
Mo Yunchen nodded, and next to him, Qin Qin’s cheeks were flushed a rosy red, radiantly beautiful.
"Good, good, good, this really is great news." Initially disappointed, Mo Cang felt hope once again.
"When is the wedding? Can we do it this month? No, that won’t do, there isn’t enough time to prepare. Next month, then. Steward Min, check if there is a good day next month. Also, make sure to prepare what needs to be prepared," Mo Cang instructed excitedly to Steward Min, who nodded happily. It might not be the arrival of a little young master, but it was still a joyous event, and perhaps it wouldn’t be long before the little young master would arrive.
"I’ll start preparing immediately," Steward Min said, unable to wait, wishing the wedding could be tomorrow. In his heart, he treated Mo Yunchen as if he were his own son. Outwardly he was a servant, but Mo Yunchen treated him with great respect.
"Uncle Min!" Mo Yunchen was beginning to develop a headache from the two old mischief-makers at home.
Qin Qin couldn’t help but let out a laugh beside him.
"The wedding... we’ll wait until I visit the Qin Family over the New Year to discuss it with Qin Qin’s father. Once he agrees, then we’ll get married," Mo Yunchen said somberly to Mo Cang and Steward Min.
Mo Cang sighed in disappointment, "Alright then, this is a matter for the two of you, and you should decide."
After they finished eating, Mo Cang suddenly called Qin Qin to the study and took out an old-looking box from the drawer, walking over to her.
"This is a gift left by Yunchen’s mother for her future daughter-in-law; I hope you won’t disdain it."
Qin Qin received the box Mo Cang handed her, feeling its weight, which suddenly made the box seem very heavy.
"I won’t. I’ll cherish it, thank you, Uncle."
