Chapter 193: The Tip of the Ice

Mo Chi reached out to help Qin Ran smooth her hair. “I will definitely protect you from any harm. You just have to live the life you want every day.”

Letting a girl live the life she wanted without worrying about anything was perhaps the most beautiful promise a man could make.

The two of them spoke a lot more, most of which were interesting things from when they were young. Mo Chi watched as Qin Ran gradually fell asleep in his arms. He carefully placed her under the blanket and got up to go to the study.

He turned on his computer, logged into the usual social media app, and called back. The call only lasted for five seconds before the other party picked up. Immediately after, a well-defined but extremely charming man’s face appeared.

“President Mo, you’re finally done.”

Mo Chi looked up at Mo Shi on the screen. This was the grandson of his second grandfather. He was five years younger than him. He was not old, but his various life experiences could not be summarized with the word exciting.

“What’s the matter?” Mo Chi asked. Before he went to save Qin Ran at night, the other party had already called three or four times. He was busy looking for the lass and didn’t pay attention to him at all. However, just as he was about to sleep, Mo Shi actually called again. He could only come to the study room to call him back.

“President Mo, you’re really a noble person. You’re so forgetful. It’s only been a few days, but you’ve already forgotten everything about me.” Mo Shi and Mo Chi were not the same kind of people. Mo Shi was a big man yet he liked to speak in a feminine tone. Mo Chi felt goosebumps all over his body even through the screen.

Mo Chi was about to speak when he heard a woman’s ethereal voice. “Brother, have a glass of milk.”

Immediately after, the face of a petite and lovely woman appeared on the screen. Even though it was the second time he saw her face, Mo Chi was still surprised. Her eyebrows were very similar to an old friend. The woman followed Mo Shi’s lead and sat on his lap very naturally.

Mo Shi took the milk from her hand and placed it aside. He pinched her chin with one hand and said playfully, “It’s this little thing’s identity. Did you help me investigate?”

The woman did not seem to care at all and still had a flattering expression.

“She’s a lady, yet you spoke so carelessly in front of her. You should at least respect her.” Mo Chi couldn’t stand his appearance.

“Lady?” Mo Shi’s eyes were filled with disdain. “We don’t even know if this thing is clean or not. How can you call her a lady?”

“What about Lu Xiao?” The Lu Xiao that Mo Chi mentioned was an old friend who was similar to this woman. Her significance to Mo Shi was almost equivalent to faith.

As expected, as soon as he heard Lu Xiao’s name, a hint of gloominess flashed across Mo Shi’s eyes. “How can she be compared to Lu Xiao?”

“Why not? Isn’t it because she looks like Lu Xiao that you keep her by your side?” Mo Chi said mercilessly.

“I picked her up in the open sea. She said that she had lost her memory and couldn’t remember anything. I rewarded her with food and she was so grateful that she insisted on following me. I kept her because of her looks.” As Mo Shi spoke, he let go of the woman from his arms. She stood at the side like a slave.

Mo Chi sighed lightly and continued, “She shouldn’t be a citizen of our country. At the very least, she’s not a proper citizen. This is because there’s no information about her in the population system of the Military and Political Affairs Office. You should be careful.”

Even though Mo Shi had asked him to help investigate, Mo Chi knew that this kid was the most unruly and would do whatever he wanted. This time, he most likely wouldn’t listen to his opinion. However, his second grandfather’s family was so capable. Even if he really bumped into the south wall and got into trouble that he shouldn’t have, his family had their ways.

It was really getting late. Mo Chi didn’t say much to Mo Shi before hanging up. Then, he tiptoed back to the bed in the master bedroom and hugged his soft and fragrant wife to sleep.

Qin Ran couldn’t remember how she fell asleep in Mo Chi’s arms. She only knew that when she woke up, it was already half past eleven.
