"Look at him, he's so stubborn, I really don't know what he's trying to do with all this fear. Anyone who didn't know better would think I was forcing him to get married."
Mo Qing smiled nonchalantly.
My older brother's job is different from those people's. He is an international translator at the embassy. Most of the time, he goes abroad to translate with high-ranking officials. Sometimes, a single trip abroad can take ten to fifteen months. Most of the people he comes into contact with are important figures like the president of the country.
It's perfectly normal for someone not to want to get married for the time being.
“My brother must have his reasons, so Aunt doesn’t need to worry so much.”
"How can I not worry? If he weren't my son, I wouldn't bother with him at all. I've never seen anyone so worrisome. He's so old and still does whatever he wants. If I had a daughter, I wouldn't want to marry her off to him. It's such a waste of her time."
Mo Qing's lips twitched. "..." Then her older brother would be clapping and cheering.
"Doesn't he realize that with his looks, who would want him? And he has the nerve to look down on people?"
"..."
She thought that the line of men wanting to marry her eldest brother was probably already outside of Lindu.
Mo Qing leaned lazily against the sofa, her right hand on the armrest and her left hand gripping the collar of her coat. She rested her chin on the collar, looking particularly like a lazy cat, delicate and beautiful, as if she were afraid of the cold.
When the eldest aunt saw this, she breathed a sigh of relief, which had been weighing on her mind, and smiled.
"Is it that cold?"
"It's alright. It's just a matter of my own constitution. I'm not as cold as before now that I'm wearing a coat."
"Bear with it, it will get better in a day or two."
Mo Qing nodded, indicating that she understood. Her slightly squinting and languid appearance was truly endearing.
As the two were talking, Mo Qing heard voices outside. She looked up in surprise and smiled at her aunt, "I'll go out and take a look."
"good."
Mo Qing smiled, tilted her head slightly, looked at her handsome and upright older cousin, and obediently called out, "Big Brother."
Mo Xinzhe patted her hair. "You're on vacation already?"
The girl seems to have grown a little taller.
"Um."
"Then you can stay here and don't need to go back."
Mo Qing smiled at him. She knew what her older brother meant. Every year they would spend the New Year here, since their grandparents and maternal grandmother were also here, so naturally they would celebrate the New Year together.
"That's about it. There's just another department gathering coming up, so I'll have to go out there in a few days."
Mo Xinze gently stroked her nose with his index finger and teased, "You're getting prettier and prettier now. You're so much prettier than when you used to cry."
Mo Qing grinned at him carefree, and said matter-of-factly, "I've always been beautiful, even when I cry, I'm the prettiest one."
"Is my older brother on vacation?"
"Well, there aren't any plans to go abroad recently. I figured it's almost Chinese New Year, so there's no need to stay there any longer. I might as well give myself a break early."
"That's good too. I heard that you, Auntie and Brother, are always traveling for work and must be very tired. It would be good for you to take a break once in a while."
"I brought you a gift, won't you call to see it?"
"Oh, it's my favorite music crystal box!"
"Yes, thank you, brother."
Mo Xinze paused for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject, solemnly instructing her, "I've listened to your brother about what happened last time. You can't do whatever you want anymore, understand?"
Momo was spoiled by her older brothers and only knew how to do whatever she wanted, acting on a whim.
Fortunately, everything that happened before turned out to be a false alarm; otherwise, he couldn't imagine how anxious his family would have been.
If we alarm our grandparents, uncles and aunts, and our own parents, and mobilize all our connections and resources, then it could truly be a radical change; the entire capital city and Beijing might be transformed...
Mo Qing smiled sweetly and promised, "It won't happen again."
Because her son Hanhan will come back to see her on his own in the future, she doesn't need to take the same risks as last time.
Moreover, since they didn't hold her accountable for what happened last time, it's highly likely that Hanhan withstood the pressure again. She should be a good girlfriend who makes things easy for Hanhan from now on.
"I heard your aunt is going to introduce you to a girlfriend, and it seems like it's a matter of mutual attraction," Mo Qing subtly hinted.
She was worried that if her older brother disagreed, he might clash with her aunt. At least she wanted to let him know in advance so she could gauge his opinion and perhaps even... offer him some guidance.
Who knew—
After hearing this, Mo Xinze calmly nodded and replied with four words in a nonchalant manner.
"I see."
Mo Qing was stunned for a moment, then secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She curved her lips into a sweet smile, revealing her dimples. "I thought you wouldn't agree, Big Brother."
For some reason, whenever the word "blind date" is applied to her older brother, she feels like laughing.
The main reason is that their family genes are too strong. All the older brothers are too good-looking. If they walked out in a row, the streets would probably be packed with people.
"No one in this world can truly do whatever they want. Everyone has responsibilities to bear, and as a member of the Mo family, this is my responsibility."
Indeed, as the eldest son of the Mo family, the upright and virtuous Mo Xinze sacrificed too much because his brother's sudden choice back then caught everyone off guard.
