Gu Qingyao was shocked!
She stared dumbly at this fellow. He looked completely serious and did not seem to be joking at all. Had he really said something so shameless?
“Aren’t you being too mean? Are you going to be the kind of boss that simply dumps responsibility on someone else?”
Mo Beihan said innocently, “I’m also exhausted. They’re still young, and as their uncle, I have to take care of them. I’ve developed the Mo family and created the best conditions for them. When they’ve grown up, they can work too. Why should I continue to support them?
“It’s only right that they should show me some filial piety!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
That seemed to make sense!
“How long will you be gone?” Gu Qingyao really could not bear to see him go. Her honeymoon had been so sweet and blissful. She had never been so happy in her two lifetimes. She had a wonderful month. Of course, she felt sad that this fellow was suddenly leaving!
“About two months.”
Gu Qingyao was displeased.
Mo Beihan coaxed her. “Don’t be angry! I promise I’ll come back as soon as possible to keep you company. If not for the fact that Grandfather hasn’t completely recovered yet, I would bring you along too! You can just treat it as a holiday.”
“Next time, all right? As long as you’re willing, I’ll always bring you with me!”
Gu Qingyao smiled and hugged him. “I didn’t say that you’re not allowed to go! I just… miss you!”
Mo Beihan liked hearing things like that. He held her little face between his hands and kissed her hard. “I’m leaving tomorrow. I’ll keep you company tonight!”
With that, he got up and carried Gu Qingyao towards the bedroom.
Gu Qingyao was startled. “Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing! It’s daytime. It’s still daytime!”
Mo Beihan smiled. “It’s all right; this is our house. It will be evening soon. No one will come in.”

When it was dark, Mo Beihan brought Gu Qingyao to Jin Jiang Restaurant for dinner. They did not take a private room but reserved a place on the second-floor gallery. They could see the scene downstairs from where they were seated.
Mo Beihan was very attentive and kept selecting food for Gu Qingyao and asking her to have more.
Gu Qingyao rolled her eyes. She leaned her head on her hand and ignored him.
Mo Beihan continued to smile brightly. He had just taken advantage of her. He had no choice but to coax her.
Gu Qingyao looked about as she sipped her drink. Coincidentally, she saw Lin Dongxu and Qin Si having dinner downstairs. Her eyes brightened, and she gestured for Mo Beihan to look.
The Jin Jiang Restaurant layout was relatively modern. There were private rooms upstairs. The downstairs portion of the restaurant also had some partitions, but these were quite low and only slightly higher than the chair backs. This gave the feeling of privacy without being stifling.
It was natural for close couples or husbands and wives like Mo Beihan and Gu Qingyao to take a private room. But Lin Dongxu and Qin Si were not that close, so it was more appropriate to sit in the main restaurant.
“Your little attendant is pretty good! Is he really together with Qin Si?”
Mo Beihan smiled and said, “He instantly fell for Qin Si when he saw her at the Qin house. I told him that she’s a rich, young girl. He has to work hard if he wants to court her!
“This fellow has always been hard working. He’s sophisticated enough when doing business, but he’s usually very honest. He’s worldly-wise, but he himself is not worldly. Sometimes he seems rather foolish. He’s been working for me for so many years, but he has retained his innocence. That’s rare.”
Gu Qingyao smiled. “Which means to say that if Si Si and he really become a couple, that would be a good thing!”
