Chapter 156 Who told you to bring her back?

Qi Hang panicked a little. "Dad, what are you going to City C for?"

"I need to go find someone!" Qi Wende clutched his chest, feeling pain. He had forgotten his lover, he had forgotten Manman, who was pregnant with his child.

Qi Wende closed his eyes in heartache, and a tear slid down his cheek.

"Dad, did you remember something?" Qi Hang asked cautiously.

Qi Wende opened his eyes and slowly nodded. "I remember I have a wife. She's pregnant. Her name is Manman."

Qi Hang looked troubled. "Dad, you mean Aunt Shi Jingman, right?"

"Have you seen her? Is she alright?" Qi Wende grabbed Qi Hang's arm tightly and asked anxiously.

Qi Hang nodded. "She's doing well, she's very happy now, she... remarried."

Qi Wende's heart ached again, but there was nothing he could do. He had been missing for 26 years, and he couldn't let Manman wait in vain for a dead man, especially since he had another family now.

If Manman hadn't remarried, he wouldn't know how to face her.

He suddenly thought of the child again, "Qi Hang, Chu Rou is my daughter, your sister?"

Qi Hang was utterly despondent. Chu Rou really was his sister. All his expectations had turned into wishful thinking. Now, he could only silently accept this cruel reality.

"Yes, she should be. She's two years older than me, 26 this year."

Qi Hang took out his phone and found a photo of Chu Rou, which he had secretly taken before. "She is Chu Rou."

Qi Wende took the phone and looked closely at the girl in the picture. "She looks like her! She looks like Manman, and she looks like me too."

His eyes reddened; this was his daughter with Manman, the only remaining connection between them.

“I want to see this child,” Qi Wende said, stroking the photo on his phone with his fingers. “Also, don’t let your mother know about this yet.”

"good!"

...

In the afternoon, Chu Rou received a message from Qiao Siying, asking her and Mo Chi to go back to the Mo family's old house for dinner.

The tone of his voice was completely like that of a daughter-in-law, which warmed Chu Rou's heart. Without thinking, she agreed.

Chu Rou put down her phone, thinking to herself that she was lucky to have met such a good mother-in-law.

She went into the study, where Mo Chi was still busy working on his computer.

Chu Rou hugged Mo Chi from behind and rested her head on his neck. "Mo Bao, our dinner has been arranged."

Mo Chi stopped what he was doing, pulled Chu Rou into his arms, kissed her cheek, and asked, "Who arranged this?"

“Your mom, no, our mom,” Chu Rou chuckled, “our mom wants the two of us to go back to the old house for dinner tonight.”

Mo Chi picked up his phone; there were no messages. He sighed, "My mom has forgotten about her son now that she has a daughter-in-law. You're the only one she cares about."

Chu Rou pinched Mo Chi's face with both hands, "Don't you want to? It's enough that you're in my heart and in my eyes."

"Yes, yes!" Mo Chi grinned. He was more than willing. His mother's kindness to Chu Rou was kindness to him. He wished his mother and Chu Rou could get along like a real mother and daughter.

"How much longer are you going to be busy?" Chu Rou glanced at the computer. "Do you need my help?"

"Almost done. Let's leave once I'm finished."

Mo Chi patted Chu Rou's bottom, and Chu Rou stood up and left the study, no longer disturbing him.

Meanwhile, Yuan Qian also received a message from Qiao Siying, asking her and Mo Yan to return to the old house for dinner.

Unable to make the decision herself, she walked to the study door and knocked.

"Come in!" came Mo Yan's deep voice from inside.

Yuan Qian pushed open the door and went in.

When Mo Yan saw that it was Yuan Qian, he looked up and asked, "What is it?"

Yuan Qian hummed in agreement. "Aunt Qiao wants us to have dinner at the old house tonight. Do you have time?"

Mo Yan hesitated for a moment. He glanced at his phone. Jin Na had just sent a message saying that she had arranged to meet up with some college classmates.

Yuan Qian noticed that Mo Yan was hesitating, so she added, "Aunt Qiao said that Xiao Chi and Rou Rou will also be going back. I really like Rou Rou and want to go and have a get-together with her. There was a misunderstanding yesterday, so we didn't have a proper chat before we parted ways."

Mo Yan raised his eyes and stared at Yuan Qian. She rarely talked to him this much. Seeing her expectant eyes, he subconsciously nodded, "Then let's go back to the old house."

Yuan Qian smiled sweetly, "Okay, then I'll go and get you the clothes you need to wear."

Yuan Qian left the study with light steps.

Mo Yan picked up her phone and replied to Jin Na with two words: 【Not going!】

Half an hour later, Mo Yan arrived at the bedroom. Yuan Qian had already changed her clothes, and the clothes he was going to change into were on the bed.

She saw Mo Yan come in and stood up. "I've found your clothes, go change quickly!"

Yuan Qian didn't go out, but sat on the edge of the bed watching Mo Yan take off his clothes.

Mo Yan took off his pajamas, and Yuan Qian unfolded his white shirt and helped him put it on.

Mo Yan raised an eyebrow, did not refuse, and let Yuan Qian help him button his shirt.

Yuan Qian's fair and delicate hands slowly wandered across Mo Yan's chest. After she had fastened all the buttons, Mo Yan grasped one of her wrists.

With his other hand, he gently pinched Yuan Qian's chin. "You seem to have changed."

Yuan Qian bit her lower lip lightly, her cheeks slightly flushed. She freed her wrists, put her arms around Mo Yan's shoulders, and stood on tiptoe to gently kiss his lips. "It's changed. Do you like it?"

Her voice was soft, but the two were so close that Mo Yan could hear it clearly. He put his arm around Yuan Qian's waist to prevent her from escaping, and lowered his head to kiss her, his kiss deepening gradually.

When the kiss ended, Yuan Qian leaned breathlessly against Mo Yan's chest, and Mo Yan's voice came from his chest to her ears, "I like it!"

Yuan Qian's face turned even redder.

The Mo family, Mo Yan and Mo Chi, arrived at the Mo family's old residence one after the other.

Qiao Siying was unusually enthusiastic when she saw Chu Rou. She took Chu Rou's hand and said with a smile, "Rou Rou, I made you misunderstand yesterday. You're not angry with me, are you?"

"You have no idea how shocked and happy I was at the time. I was so happy to find out that you and Xiaochi were a couple. It's like the Mo family's ancestors were emitting auspicious smoke that Xiaochi found a girlfriend like you."

With tears welling up in her eyes, Chu Rou hugged Qiao Siying. "Aunt Qiao, thank you, thank you for accepting me. Don't worry, if anyone dares to bully you again, I'll beat them to a pulp."

"Good, good!" Qiao Siying patted Chu Rou on the back. "Now I have someone to back me up."

"Aunt Qiao, Rou Rou!" Yuan Qian and Mo Yan arrived.

Yuan Qian ran over and hugged Chu Rou warmly, saying, "From now on, you have to call me sister-in-law."

"Hello, sister-in-law!" Chu Rou hugged Yuan Qian.

After the two parted, Chu Rou saw that Yuan Qian had a radiant face and slightly swollen lips, and chuckled, "Sister-in-law, you seem a little different today!"

Yuan Qian winked at her, "I took what you said yesterday to heart."

Chu Rou and Yuan Qian exchanged a smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Mo Yan asked as he walked over.

Chu Rou nodded, "President Yan!"

Mo Yan glanced at her and said, "Just call me Big Brother at home!"

Yuan Qian looked at Mo Yan approvingly and smiled at him.

"Big brother!" Chu Rou called out with a smile.

Mo Chi and Qiao Siying watched from the side, both with smiles on their faces.

"It's so lively today!" Mo Anbang came downstairs when he heard laughter.

When he saw Chu Rou, his smile vanished instantly. He glared at Mo Chi and snapped, "Who told you to bring her back?"
