He sighed helplessly, "Don't you know why I want to be with you?"
Mo Xiaoqing wanted to say something more, but when she saw the deep and passionate emotion in his eyes, she couldn't help but flee.
Okay, she admits she always likes to do this, to deliberately crack jokes, but when it comes to Hanhan, she just can't bear to!
In a moment of panic, he ran into the backyard, where two old men were playing chess at a stone table.
Two tall figures stood guard nearby. Upon hearing the loud footsteps, they all turned to look in Mo Xiaoqing's direction.
Mo Xiaoqing touched her nose somewhat awkwardly. Even with her thick skin, she still felt a little uncomfortable under so many gazes...
She was just about to slip away when her grandfather caught her red-handed.
"Momo".
Mo Xiaoqing closed her eyes in annoyance, feeling extremely regretful. She had impulsively rushed in here. No matter how much she regretted it, she turned around to face them, concealing all her annoyance and replacing it with a sweet smile.
"grandfather?"
"Momo, you've come at the right time. You be the judge of this game. Did I win or did he win this time?"
Mo Xiaoqing raised her right foot with a somewhat resigned air. At this moment, Mo Yanyu and Mo Zhinian, who were standing next to them, found it quite amusing to see Mo Xiaoqing looking so frustrated.
Both of them couldn't help but clench their fists and press them against their mouths, which just covered the corners of their slightly upturned lips.
But the smiles in their eyes were impossible to hide.
Mo Xiaoqing naturally saw the teasing looks on her brother and younger brother's faces, and secretly glared at them both with dissatisfaction.
The two elderly people sat upright on either side of the stone table, their entire focus on the chessboard, and naturally did not notice Mo Xiaoqing's subtle actions.
Mo Xiaoqing pretended to watch for a while, but in her heart she really wanted to cover her face with her hands.
She's really not good at chess, and has absolutely no interest in it. I don't know if Grandpa just forgot for a moment... or if he deliberately called her over!
She feels incredibly miserable right now. If it were just her family around, she could easily beg for forgiveness openly.
But the problem is...
The old man sitting opposite my grandfather looked extremely dignified, with a calm gaze. Although a lot of white hair had sprouted on his head, he gave people a particularly strong and decisive feeling.
No one would underestimate him because of his age.
After studying the chessboard carefully for a while, Mo Xiaoqing pretended to rest her chin on her hand and said, "Sacrificing the rook to save the king was indeed a good move, completely breaking the deadlock. From the current perspective, Grandpa, you seem to have lost a piece to... Grandpa Qin!"
Yoho!
Mo Yanyu and Mo Zhinian were both very surprised. They knew that their precious child had been spoiled by them for a long time and had never liked chess or calligraphy, which were the kind of lessons that people from scholarly families should learn!
She found these things too boring and tedious, so from a young age she would cry and throw tantrums to avoid learning them. Sometimes she would even pretend to be sick to escape...
Surprisingly, this pampered little brat who can't stand the slightest grievance can actually understand this chessboard!
Grandpa Qin smiled kindly, "Why are you still calling me Grandpa Qin? That's too formal. Didn't I already tell you to call me Grandpa?"
"..."
Under her grandfather's intense gaze, Mo Xiaoqing immediately shut her mouth, lowered her head, and tried to minimize her presence.
Grandpa Mo sneered, glancing at Mo Xiaoqing with a half-smile before casually looking away. "Hey, hey, who are you talking to? When did my Momo become your niece? I didn't know that."
Grandpa Qin, unusually, didn't confront him. Instead, he gave Mo Xiaoqing a meaningful look and said, "Well, sooner or later she'll have to call me Grandpa!"
The implication is: what difference does it make whether it's earlier or later?
Grandpa Mo didn't seem to understand the implied meaning in his words, and replied in a particularly unpleasant tone, "Who said my Momo is going to call you grandpa? Let me tell you, don't even think about making a move on my Momo. My precious granddaughter is so obedient, even if you're jealous, I won't allow her to call you grandpa!"
"Oh, but I just like Momo's personality, and I want her to call me Grandpa. What should I do?"
Old Master Mo gave Old Master Qin a deep look. They were both shrewd people; who wouldn't understand the deeper meaning behind those words?
Especially since they kept calling each other "Momo," and their conversations were always filled with "Momo," the atmosphere naturally became quite strange.
Although they didn't continue speaking, everyone could sense the undercurrent in their eye contact.
It's like one second I'm on top of you, and the next second you're on top of me—that kind of indescribable pressure.
If it were anyone else, they would have been suppressed to the point of not daring to breathe, but which member of the Mo family is simple?
Even when these two oppressive forces erupted simultaneously, they remained calm and composed, standing guard on the sidelines with neither arrogance nor servility.
Grandpa Qin suddenly laughed, "I'm not in a hurry. Sooner or later he'll call me grandpa anyway. I just don't know if others will be more anxious than me!"
The other person inside seemed to be implying something, and for a moment everyone's eyes became particularly strange.
