Chapter 556: Don't go to Xiao Yao's room anymore

I almost forgot!

Mo Tingshen suddenly started thinking about Chu Yao’s age.

Is she in her adolescent years now?

In an instant, Mo Tingshen understood.

He had been through that time himself, when children of that age have a strong rebellious mentality and especially want to leave home.

With this thought, his eyebrows and eyes relaxed.

“Brother promises you, as long as it’s vacation, I’ll come back to keep you company.

You are still young, sending you to boarding school in junior high isn’t quite proper, I’m afraid Mom and I will be anxious.”

“Then is it possible when I am in high school?” Chu Yao blurted out.

Mo Tingshen didn’t speak for a moment.

He knew his parents had always wanted a daughter.

After so much difficulty adopting one, they treated her like the apple of their eye, especially Mother, who often bought various beautiful dresses, dressing up Xiao Yao like the Little Princess, her status even higher than his and Suizhi’s combined.

Is this what they call suffocating affection?

Unable to hold back a laugh, Mo Tingshen said, “As long as our Xiao Yao wishes it, brother will help you fight for it.”

Chu Yao looked at him, kept looking, tears still flowing out of her opened eyes, as if she were tired of crying, but couldn’t control her tear ducts, and even if she didn’t make any sobbing sounds, the excess tears would still fall.

Mo Tingshen helped her wipe away the tears, coaxing, “Alright, brother is going back to his room to change clothes now, you should go to sleep first.”

Chu Yao clung to the hem of his clothes.

Mo Tingshen couldn’t leave, coaxed her several times, and at last brought her to bed, standing by the bedside for a while before leaving.

Just after closing the door, as he turned around, he saw Mo Li coming out of the study holding a thermos cup, the lid twisted off in his hand, the tea inside the cup gone.

“Dad,” Mo Tingshen walked a few steps, “are you still working so late?”

Mo Li: “The company has a lot going on, need to get it done, otherwise there’ll be a backlog tomorrow.

I’m looking forward every day for you and Suizhi to graduate soon, to come back and help me.”

He was only joking, he wouldn’t say this so directly when in the presence of Suizhi.

Mo Tingshen never intended to take over the family business.

He was very smart, especially talented in business.

Already in junior high, he helped Mo Li with many useful decisions, and today’s most profitable projects of Mo’s had his engagement from the start.

He had a broader sky to soar in, being confined in Mo’s was wasting his talent.

As for Suizhi, he was somewhat duller by nature, not as smart as Tingshen.

Mo Li planned early to keep him by his side to teach him.

“Dad, you’re still young, hold on a little longer, Suizhi will graduate in just a few years.”

“You!” Mo Li pointed at him with his finger.

“How have you been recently, is studying wearing you out?”

“Not bad, I’ll face the college entrance examination next year.

I can handle it.”

“After you finish your exams, let’s go on a trip as a family, bring Xiao Yao along.”

Thinking of Chu Yao’s appearance just now, Mo Tingshen looked back at the tightly closed room door, purposefully walked a few steps to lead Mo Li further away.

“Dad, you and Mom should stop going to Xiao Yao’s room in the future.”

Mo Li’s expression turned odd, unconsciously avoiding eye contact.

“Did Xiao Yao…

say something to you?”

“Nothing really, just a child, and she’s at the age of puberty; she has her little secrets.

No matter how much we pamper her, we need to give her some space, especially her privacy.”

Mo Tingshen didn’t mince his words, considering it a normal father-son conversation.

After speaking, when he didn’t hear Mo Li respond, he consciously stopped and glanced at Mo Li’s thermos.

“Need a refill, right?

I’ll go,” he said.

Mo Li handed him the cup, “Add some honey for me.”

“Okay.”

Mo Tingshen took the cup and walked away slowly, speaking softly.

Behind him, Mo Li narrowed his eyes, then suddenly turned, glaring sinisterly at Chu Yao’s room door.
