297 Chapter 297. Discerning The Tiniest Detail
“You haven’t said anything since you sat down, and you don’t look perfect! Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Mo Qian asked worriedly.
Zhuang Xian was taken aback, and a sense of helplessness rose in her heart. She raised her eyes and glared at Mo Qian.
Li Zhen looked at his granddaughter’s strange expression and then at Mo Qian’s worried face. He also said strangely, “Yes, Mo Qian is right! Xian ‘er, you haven’t said anything since. You only nodded when we asked you. What’s wrong?”
Zhuang Xian retracted her gaze and sighed helplessly. With a hoarse voice, she said with difficulty, “I caught a cold when I slept last night. My throat hurts, so I don’t want to talk.”
Hearing this, Mo Qian sighed softly and looked at Zhuang Xian with a helpless and pampering expression. He said warmly, “So what if you’re sick? Why are you still trying to hide it in front of us? What are you going to do if we don’t find out? You want to brush it off?”
As he spoke, he gestured for Mo Xi to come closer. After giving him a few instructions, he turned to Zhuang Xian and continued, “I’ve asked Mo Xi to get the doctor to take a good look at you! This season’s temperature difference between morning and night is quite wide, and you’ll catch a cold easily if you’re not careful. Did you not cover yourself with a blanket when you slept last night?”
Mo Qian’s tone of voice was very gentle as if the person in front of him was the most precious and only treasure in his life. Other than giving ongoing care, there was no way or means to express love.
On the other hand, Li Zhen quickly recovered from the unique atmosphere between Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian, where no one else could easily interfere. His eyes were smiling as if he was delighted with Mo Qian’s care and concern for Zhuang Xian.
Zhuang Xian had a stubborn personality. There were times when she would not listen to the advice of others. She needed a gentle and tolerant other half, and Mo Qian was such a person. He had far exceeded Li Zhen’s expectations of Zhuang Xian’s future husband.
Mo Qian should be a few years older than Li Qin. He should be 26 years old this year. In the business circle, this age was considered very young. Many people who were still studying hard in school were not this old. Mo Qian was already a successful business tycoon of his generation with a reputation.
Mo Qian’s excellence was evident to all.
Li Zhen was pleased to see the current situation. He thought that the most apparent barrier between Mo Qian and Zhuang Xian was the age gap of nearly ten years. If Mo Qian liked Zhuang Xian, he would have no real problem waiting for her for two years.
Li Zhen wasn’t an old-fashioned man. He only wanted Zhuang Xian to be happy in the future. As for the age gap, it wasn’t a big issue. He was willing to believe that Mo Qian was a very responsible and considerate man.
As Li Zhen thought about this, his mouth did not stop moving. He echoed Mo Qian’s words and looked sternly at Zhuang Xian, “Is there a need to say this? She must have been afraid of being scolded, so she was trying to fool us! You’re just brushing us off!”
Li Zhen glared at Zhuang Xian disapprovingly. “Grandfather will have to reprimand you for your behavior! How could you not tell your family that you are sick? How long can you hold on by yourself?”
“I’m a doctor myself; I’ll be fine, Grandpa! It’s just a sore throat. It’ll be fine after some hot water and good sleep. It’s not a big deal.” Zhuang Xian was a little helpless. She raised her head to look at Mo Qian, then at Li Zhen, and retorted in a hoarse voice.
“If it’s not a big deal, what are you feeling guilty about? Why are you so afraid that Mo Qian and I will see through you?” How could Li Zhen not understand Zhuang Xian’s thoughts? When he heard this, he immediately asked back. He could no longer suppress the temperament of an old urchin.
Zhuang Xian, “…”
She wanted to retort and say that she wasn’t feeling guilty. She wasn’t feeling guilty! However, after thinking about it carefully, she felt that the credibility was not very high, so she gave up and sighed slightly, no longer saying anything!
Mo Qian looked at Zhuang Xian’s little face. She looked like she wanted to say something but was unable to resist. He shook his head in amusement.
