Hence, he hesitated and did not know how to continue. Just as he was thinking about how to phrase his words, he heard a beeping sound from the other end. The other party had already hung up. Dr. Xu quickly dialed back, but the number was empty.
There was nothing to be surprised about. Mo Chi was ranked first on the Dark Net’s assassination list all year round. It was very normal for a professional hacker to design virtual numbers for him. However, this was not a small matter. Dr. Xu was worried that if the truth was discovered, he would be treated badly.
Mo Chi hurriedly hung up the phone when he heard Qin Ran calling his name.
“What’s wrong?” Mo Chi asked worriedly as he hurried upstairs.
“What is this?” When Qin Ran came to the dressing room to change her clothes, she saw a row of diamond rings on the dressing table. Each of them was very big.
“I bought it for you. Take it.” In the afternoon, Mo Chi had chosen the designs online and had someone buy it before sending it to his house. He was a straight man. On the day they registered their marriage, he didn’t even prepare a ring. Presumably, he felt sorry for Qin Ran.
“So many?” Qin Ran couldn’t even count everything with her fingers.
“I don’t know which style you like, so I picked a few more.”
Qin Ran did not dare to bring such a big diamond out casually. It was not that she was afraid of being robbed, but she was afraid of the discussions around her. After all, these things should not appear in the lives of ordinary people. However, which girl didn’t like diamonds? It was already a great loss that she couldn’t wear them out casually. Qin Ran decided to admire these beautiful stones before she ate.
Looking at the lass in the cloakroom, Mo Chi felt that he had given the right gift. In his heart, he planned to buy bracelets and necklaces for Qin Ran, as well as various clothes for her. He would also prepare a lot of delicious food for her and bring her out to play and watch exhibitions and cartoons. As he thought about it, he felt that something was amiss. How was this like raising a wife? Wasn’t this like raising a daughter?
“Sir, Madam, the meal is ready!” Butler Zhang knocked on the master bedroom door and said.
“Great, we can eat crayfish now.”
With food, even the most beautiful diamonds could be forgotten.
“Slow down.” The corners of Mo Chi’s mouth curved into an indulgent smile. When Qin Ran had just arrived, she had always been suffering from morning sickness and ate very little. In comparison, she had been in a good mood, had a good appetite, slept well, and talked more. The relationship and atmosphere between the two of them had also become much closer.
This was what home felt like.
Of course, eating crayfish was more delicious when she peeled it herself. As she peeled it, she could sucked the juice. It was really fragrant.
However, Mo Chi’s hands never stopped moving. He had peeled the lass a plate full of crayfish. His heart ached for this Qin Ran. He felt that when she was young, she had suffered in the countryside with her adoptive parents. It wasn’t easy for her to be brought back to the Qin Clan, yet she had to face her biased parents and brothers. She had to gain favor in order to live under someone else’s roof, and when she returned home, she had to gain favor as well. Her life was definitely tough.
“Is it good?” Mo Chi asked as he pushed a plate over.
“Mm, mm!” Qin Ran nodded vigorously.
It really made people unable to hold back their laughter after seeing the lass’s satisfied look. Even Butler Zhang and Auntie Sun, who were waiting on the side, also secretly pursed their lips and smiled.
In the end, under Mo Chi’s persuasion, Qin Ran let go of the last dozen or so.
Meanwhile, at the Qin Residence.
The members of the Qin Family gathered together for dinner as they wanted to celebrate for Qin Xue.
“Our Xiao Xue is really amazing. Let’s wish Xiao Xue a bright future.” Mr. Qin raised his cup and brought the whole family to congratulate Qin Xue.
“Thank you, Dad. It’s not only my credit that I can achieve such good results. I should thank Dad and Mom for their hard work in nurturing me. I thank my three brothers for taking care of and doting on me.” Her words were said beautifully, and her eyes were filled with tears of gratitude.
“How sensible.” Mrs. Qin touched her daughter’s face in relief. She was very satisfied with her adopted daughter.
Just as she took her first bite, Qin Xue saw a message pop up on WeChat. She ignored it and turned her phone over. After a while, she put down her chopsticks and picked up her phone. “Dad, Mom, I’m going to the washroom.”
The message on WeChat said, “Congratulations on getting a high score. Mommy will always be proud of you.”
Qin Xue smiled and called her.
“Why are you calling at this time? What if they find out?” The moment the call connected, a sharp and anxious voice came from the other end.
