“You were frightened tonight, right?” Mo Chi patted his wife’s head and even rubbed her hair.
Qin Ran nodded pitifully. She wasn’t frightened, but it was really tiring after the journey.
“This won’t happen again.” Mo Chi wanted to bring up the matter of her being assigned a bodyguard again, but then he thought of what Qin Ran had just said. It was just two minutes ago, so it wasn’t good to go back on his word now, right?
Forget it, forget it. Let’s not talk about it for now. I’ll think of a way to make Qin Ran agree later.
It was getting late. After the two of them confessed, Mo Chi didn’t stay in Qin Ran’s room to delay her rest.
After so many years, he was used to spending some time in the study room at night. Today was no exception.
Butler Zhang came to deliver fruits as usual. “Sir, I wonder if I should say something?”
“Speak.” Although Butler Zhang was arranged by his grandfather, he was always considerate of him. Therefore, Mo Chi would let him speak frankly.
“Young Madam is smart and cute, but what about her identity?”
Mo Chi had always been the most concerned about Qin Ran’s matters. Therefore, when he heard the words “Young Madam”, he raised his head. He didn’t expect Butler Zhang to suspect Qin Ran’s identity.
“What’s wrong with her identity?” Mo Chi’s tone turned two degrees colder.
“Her identity isn’t clear enough. Although Young Madam said that she only got to know Duan Ming by chance and learned combat skills, the authenticity of these words remains to be verified.”
After all, he was his grandfather’s spy. Butler Zhang’s authority in the Mo Residence was still very high. For example, he could stop at the door of any room in the residence to listen in to their conversation.
“Did you hear everything just now?” Mo Chi asked.
These privileges were all allowed by Mo Chi. Butler Zhang did not sense anything wrong at this moment, so he nodded.
“Who asked you to stand outside Ranran’s door casually? She needs privacy. Do you understand privacy?”
Butler Zhang did not expect Mo Chi to suddenly have such a huge reaction that he would slam the table and stand up.
“But… but the Old Master asked me to…” Before Butler Zhang could finish his sentence, Mo Chi interrupted, “Grandpa asked you to keep an eye on me. What does it have to do with Ranran? Uncle Zhang, let me tell you, there won’t be a next time.”
Butler Zhang was stunned when he heard this. The Young Madam was really amazing. She had only left home once, yet she could make Mr. Mo pay so much attention to protecting her privacy. What a good method.
“Then… Young Madam’s identity?”
“Her identity is my wife.” Mo Chi’s voice became louder with every word.
“But…” Butler Zhang still wanted to be safe.
“No more buts. Are you leaving or not? If you’re not leaving, I’ll leave!” After saying this, Mo Chi left the study and returned to the master bedroom.
The interior of the Mo Residence was very large. The study was in the northwest corner of the first floor, and the master bedroom was in the southeast direction of the second floor. It would still take a few minutes to walk there.
He seemed to have made many exceptions for this lass, Qin Ran, and it was even more so now. Butler Zhang’s suggestion to investigate the authenticity of what she had said tonight was too normal. Even if she wasn’t his wife and was just a worker he might see at any time, he should still find out information about her parents, friends, and so on. He should get the information and analyze it carefully.
However, for some reason, when he heard that Butler Zhang wanted to investigate Qin Ran, he couldn’t help but fly into a rage. It was as if he was really worried that something would go wrong.
He just wanted Qin Ran. He wanted to see her every day and have a future with her. Everyone had their own desires, and Qin Ran was what he wanted. Even if there was really something wrong in the future and he had to pay a painful price, he would accept it.
After Mo Chi left, Qin Ran took a hot shower and slept until dawn.
Knock, knock, knock. There was a knock on the door. Qin Ran heard Auntie Sun’s voice outside the door in a daze.
“Young Madam, it’s time to get up. It’s time to go to school.” Auntie Sun didn’t expect that the most difficult job she had every day was to wake Young Madam up.
The reason why it was said to be difficult was not because of how deep Qin Ran slept and how many times she had to shout to wake her up. It was because of her special status. Auntie Sun, a servant, went to wake her master up. She was afraid that she would delay things if her movements were not deft. She was also afraid that she would arouse the other party’s anger if her movements were too deft. Every time she spoke outside the door, she had to prepare herself for a long time.
