Chapter 180 I should go see your mother.
Qi Wende's voice was deep and gentle, but Chu Rou felt inexplicably flustered.
The father's love came so suddenly and overwhelmingly that she found it hard to adapt at first.
Chu Rou had long been used to being independent. Shi Jingman had always raised Chu Rou in a free-range manner, except when she was in high school, she was confined for more than a year to focus on her studies.
Qi Wende now focuses all his attention on Chu Rou, and she feels like she's doing something wrong if she wants to have a normal married life.
"Dad, I'm here to pick up some things from Mo Chi's apartment. I'll be home soon."
Hearing that Chu Rou could come home immediately, Qi Wende said with satisfaction, "Okay, we'll eat when you get back."
Chu Rou hung up the phone and checked the time. It was almost six o'clock. No wonder her father called her!
She turned her head to look at Mo Chi, "Mo Bao, we have to go back."
Mo Chi rolled over and hugged Chu Rou. "Wife, when will this ever end? I'll go and tell your dad that we're already husband and wife."
"Why don't you not come back to the Qi family with me today? Why don't you go home and talk to your dad about us first?" Chu Rou suggested.
Mo Chi nodded in agreement.
Chu Rou took the safe from the apartment; she didn't feel comfortable leaving her things there since she didn't live there.
Back at the Qi family home, all four members of the family were waiting for Chu Rou.
Qi Lin saw the two bodyguards behind Chu Rou carrying in a safe and asked in confusion, "Sister, where did you get a safe from?"
"They moved from the Ink Pond Apartments."
Chu Rou had the safe moved into her room.
"Is there gold bars inside?" Qi Lin asked curiously.
Chu Rou shook her head. "No, it's all of Mo Chi's belongings."
As soon as Chu Rou spoke, all four members of the Qi family looked at her.
Qi Hang's eye twitched slightly. No wonder Chu Rou was so devoted to Mo Chi. Mo Chi's move was quite ruthless!
Qi Feiyao was filled with shock; she had never thought of holding onto money.
Qi Lin looked on with admiration; her sister was truly amazing!
Qi Wende appeared calm, but his heart was in turmoil. His eldest daughter was truly remarkable, hahaha!
With mixed feelings, Qi Feiyao asked, "Rou Rou, did Mo Chi hand over all his possessions to you willingly?"
Chu Rou thought for a moment, "I'm going to keep it safe for him because he always spends money recklessly, and he doesn't have much time to manage some of the shops he owns. So I'll check his accounts regularly. We can't let outsiders cheat us out of our family's money."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Qi Lin and said, "Linlin, so you must learn accounting and management well. These are two very important subjects for you."
"It took me several months of hard work to understand it."
Qi Lin nodded in agreement; her sister was right.
After dinner, Chu Rou went upstairs, opened the safe, and checked its contents. Everything was there; she had also put her property certificate and car keys inside.
That's great, I've gained quite a bit more assets.
In fact, Chu Rou knew that Mo Chi had other sources of income, otherwise where would the money come from to support so many bodyguards? But she knew that the majority of the money was with her, so she simply turned a blind eye.
Chu Rou lay on her back on the bed, wondering what Mo Chi's father was thinking and when he would come to talk to her father about the marriage.
Just as she wished, Qi Lin came and knocked on the door, asking Chu Rou to come downstairs, saying that Mo Chi and his father had come.
Chu Rou immediately perked up and followed Qi Lin downstairs.
In the living room, Mo Anbang and Qi Wende sat facing each other, exchanging polite greetings.
When Mo Chi saw Chu Rou come down, he got up and walked over, taking Chu Rou's hand as they walked to the sofa.
Chu Rou called out to Mo Anbang, "Chairman Mo!"
Mo Anbang waved his hand, "Don't be so formal, just call me Uncle."
Chu Rou called out again, "Uncle Mo!"
Mo Anbang nodded, then looked at Qi Wende, "I've come here to talk to you about Mo Chi and Chu Rou's marriage."
Qi Wende lowered his eyes and remained silent, and Mo Anbang was not in a hurry either.
Mo Chi and Chu Rou were getting anxious. Just as Chu Rou was about to speak, Qi Wende gave her a look, and Chu Rou shut her mouth.
This was the first time Qi Wende had revealed his true colors in front of Mo Anbang. He said expressionlessly, "Chairman Mo should know about Rou Rou's background. Her affairs are not for me to decide alone."
"Moreover, Rou Rou's identity is also a problem. I can only use the identity of Qi Wende for now, so I cannot make my relationship with Rou Rou public."
Chu Rou frowned. She hadn't thought of this issue. Indeed, Chu Weize's identity had been revoked, and his father could only be Qi Wende now.
But her surname is Chu, and she is Chu Weize's daughter.
Mo Anbang was silent for a moment, then said, “It doesn’t matter whose daughter Chu Rou is. What matters is Chu Rou herself. She is the woman Mo Chi is going to marry.”
"We will also personally visit Chu Rou's mother."
"Wen De, what are your thoughts on the marriage between Mo Chi and Chu Rou?"
Qi Wende initially disliked Mo Chi, feeling that he was not good enough for Chu Rou.
His eldest daughter is so outstanding, and men? Humph! None of them are worthy of marrying his Rou Rou.
However, the fact that Mo Chi entrusted all his assets to Rou Rou for safekeeping is a testament to his sincerity towards her.
Qi Wende glanced at Mo Chi, "Considering that Mo Chi is somewhat sincere, I reluctantly agree to this marriage."
"Thank you, Dad. I will treat Chu Rou well for the rest of my life." Mo Chi immediately said as soon as Qi Wende finished speaking.
Mo Anbang glanced at Mo Chi, thinking that this kid was quite adept at calling others "Dad".
Qi Wende nodded slightly and continued, "Although I cannot make my relationship with Rou Rou public, I will not skimp on the dowry I prepare for Rou Rou."
Mo Anbang lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds, then raised his head and suggested, "Wen De, why don't you publicly acknowledge Chu Rou as your goddaughter? That way, it will be easier to take care of her when you're out in public."
Qi Wende raised an eyebrow; this was a good idea. "We can consider it."
Mo Anbang and Qi Wende continued their conversation, and the two tentatively set the wedding date for the National Day holiday this year.
"Isn't the National Day holiday a bit too late?" Mo Chi did the math and realized there were still six months to go. "Can't we have May Day?"
Mo Anbang and Qi Wende glared at Mo Chi at the same time, "What can you do in a month?"
Mo Chi quieted down. Yes, he needed to prepare a grand wedding.
"Can I live with Rou Rou?" Mo Chi asked tentatively. "Rou Rou's injuries have healed."
Qi Wende didn't even glance at him, only uttering three words indifferently: "No!"
Mo Chi listlessly followed Mo Anbang away from the Qi family.
Only the Qi family of four and Chu Rou remained in the living room.
Qi Wende raised his eyes and said to Chu Rou, "Rou Rou, your injury has healed, and your wedding with Mo Chi is on the agenda. I think I should go back to City C with you to see your mother."
