It was getting darker and night was falling quietly.
In the magnificent Mo family's home, only Mo Xu and Mo Ling were sitting at the dining table in front of them.
Today is the eve of the Chinese New Year. The dining table is filled with all kinds of delicious dishes. They are emitting white hot steam and the fragrance permeates every corner of the table.
"Dad," Mo Ling was obviously a little afraid of Mo Xu. She asked in a low voice, "Brother, aren't you coming back tonight?"
“Tick-tick.”
The pendulum clock in the living room makes a crisp sound of moving hands.
"Yeah," Moshi nodded, "He probably won't be coming back."
"Then we..." Before Mo Ling could finish his words, the sound of someone opening the mahogany door not far away was heard.
Mo Jingchun brushed off the snowflakes on his body, turned around and closed the door.
"Bishop...Brother, you're back!"
Mo Ling stood up excitedly and waved to Mo Jingchun who was not far away.
Mo Jingchun nodded without saying anything. His gaze swept across Mo Ling's face and slowly shifted to Mo Xu, who had his back to him.
Although Mo Xu remained calm on the surface, deep down he still didn't expect Mo Jingchun to come back.
Was it that girl who called him back? The girl named Jiang Li...
Mo Xu's left hand, which was on the dining table, was quietly placed on his thigh and began to move it up and down rhythmically.
Mo Jingchun didn't say much, he just returned to his previous position.
Although everyone was present, the atmosphere at the table was still not very lively. The three of them did not say much, but ate their food in silence.
Unlike before, Mo Xu finished eating first.
"Come meet me in my study later."
After Mo Xu threw a word to Mo Jingchun, he walked towards the stairs to the second floor without looking back.
At this moment, at the dinner table, Mo Ling and Mo Jingchun stopped what they were doing and looked at each other. Their usually taciturn father rarely asked them to go to his study to find him.
Most of the time, the study is where Mo Xu handles his work, and no one else is allowed to enter on weekdays.
"Brother, what happened between you and Dad?" Mo Ling asked worriedly.
Mo Jingchun picked up the glass in front of him, tilted his head back and drank the water in it, then stood up from the dining table with a calm expression on his face.
"Don't overthink it, it's nothing."
After Mo Jingchun finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Mo Ling, but walked up to the second floor.
Mo Ling was a little confused. Why were everyone behaving so strangely today?
Could it be that he was possessed by a demon?
No, Mo Ling quickly turned on his cell phone and bombarded the Demon Lord with messages.
Xu Fan sat on the gaming chair, holding the phone between his shoulders and answered Mo Ling's call. He quickly pressed the keyboard, his eyes fixed on the computer screen in front of him.
…………
Mo Xu's study is very clean and tidy. Apart from a few bookshelves around it, there is a large mahogany desk facing the wall.
The space above the desk is filled with various company documents, some business books and other items.
The study is not very big, and the deliberate design makes it appear compact, making it difficult for people to relax.
After Mo Jingchun walked in, he couldn't help but straighten his back.
Mo Xu was sitting in front of his desk, and in front of him was a black wooden box.
The wooden box looks very old. Perhaps black is not its original color, but it has gradually faded due to the erosion of time, so it has its current appearance.
Mo Jingchun's gaze shifted slightly as he noticed several photos around him.
"There are two things I have never given to you and your sister." Mo Xu said as he pushed the wooden box in front of Mo Jingchun.
"These are the two things your mother brought as a dowry. We were so poor back then. We couldn't even afford the three golds, but your mother still chose to marry me without hesitation."
As Moshi spoke, he sighed deeply. He hadn't spoken like this in a long time.
As Mo Jingchun listened, he opened the wooden box in front of him. He saw two items that looked a bit old.
A simple gold ring was placed in the wooden box, and next to it was a plain gold bracelet.
Mo Jingchun's eyes shook slightly. He had never heard that his mother had left such things for them. Moreover, hadn't all the valuable things in the house been sold?
Perhaps sensing Mo Jingchun's confusion, Mo Xu added, "I redeemed these later, but these two items were indeed left to you."
"Why are you suddenly giving me this today?"
Mo Jingchun closed the black wooden box and looked at his father.
Perhaps it was due to overwork, or the blow of losing his wife at an early age, Mo Xu's hair was all gray, but the expression on his face remained firm.
He sighed slightly, his eyes drooping, and the calm expression he had maintained all this time slowly relaxed. His whole posture dropped downward, and his back, which was always straight, seemed to be bent.
"How long have you been with her?" Mo Xu asked.
"She? You mean Jiang Li." Mo Jingchun reacted.
"Yeah." Mo Xu's eyes turned slightly.
"About half a year."
"Half a year..."
"What...exactly do you want to tell me?"
"Nothing, I just felt a little emotional when I saw you and that girl today."
Mo Xu slowly shook his head and looked at Mo Jingchun with slightly cloudy eyes, "She should be a very good girl."
