Chapter 2230: Chapter 34: Ye Zhan Is No Push-Over
"Qingqing, the two of them are staying here for the next few days."
Mo Ziye’s voice sounded deep and calm from behind Tang Jinchen.
Interrupting Qin Qingqing’s explanation.
As he spoke, Mo Ziye came before them, directly ignoring Tang Jinchen, and said to Qin Qingqing, "Let’s go, I’ll take you home."
"No need for you to bother taking Qingqing."
Tang Jinchen turned his head, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth as he looked at Mo Ziye, "Ah Zhan and I need to go back for our luggage, we’ll take Qingqing home ourselves. I heard you returned to Imperial City with your girlfriend. You haven’t called her since you got home, right? She must be waiting for you."
Saying this, he turned to Qin Qingqing again and said, "Qingqing, let’s go."
Mo Ziye’s gaze subtly changed.
He didn’t pay any attention to Tang Jinchen’s words, only looking at Qin Qingqing.
A faint smile appeared on Qin Qingqing’s face, "Brother Ziye, you don’t need to take me."
Walking past him, after bidding farewell to the elders, Qin Qingqing left the Mo family with Tang Jinchen and Ye Zhan.
Mo Ziye really didn’t see her off.
He merely watched them walk out of the living room.
Instead, Wen Ran escorted them to the villa’s entrance, telling them to return once they’ve fetched their luggage, "Qingqing, I’ll call your dad and grandpa to let them know."
"Thank you, Aunt Wen."
In the living room.
Gu Kai stood up with Bai Yiyi, "Yiyi and I are leaving first, Ah Feng, Ah Jin, will you continue playing?"
"The show’s over, going home to sleep."
Luo Haofeng raised his eyebrows and pulled Bai Xiaoxiao up.
Bai Xiaoxiao gave him an annoyed glance, "I’ll go upstairs to call Qingling."
With that, she glanced again at Mo Ziye, who stood there lost in thought, then headed upstairs to get Qingling.
Wen Jin asked Jing Xiaocha, "Leaving now?"
"Let’s go."
Jing Xiaocha nodded, smiling sweetly, "Ziye, that Ye Zhan seems quite impressive. Give it your best shot."
"Second Aunt, his impressiveness has nothing to do with me."
Mo Ziye smiled lightly, speaking casually.
"Ziye, there are no outsiders here, no need to put on airs around us."
Wen Jin wore an amused expression, "You’re not the only one who knows Qingqing’s worth. That Ye Zhan is no ordinary player. Your Second Aunt is just worried you’ll regret it later and is giving you a heads-up."
Mo Ziye remained expressionless, "He’s merely here on a task for G City, he’ll go back to Imperial City in a few days."
"What if Qingqing moves back to Imperial City to stay permanently?"
Gu Kai seemed eager to stir the pot.
"Uncle, I heard Tang Jinchen went to see Tongtong this afternoon. You’d better worry about whether your treasure raised for over twenty years will be taken by some random man."
"You’ve just returned, how do you know so much?"
Gu Kai’s smile quickly faded, frowning as he looked at him.
The others quietly snickered.
Finally, a hint of expression appeared on Mo Ziye’s stunningly handsome face, as he slightly curved his lips looking at Gu Kai, "Uncle, didn’t you say before that you wouldn’t let Tongtong marry out of G City?"
"Hmm, I remember Ah Kai saying that."
Luo Haofeng nodded earnestly.
These men with daughters all shared the same sentiment in their hearts.
To keep Qingling by his side, he had even tricked her into signing a ’non-far marriage agreement’ when she was little.
Gu Kai wanted to watch the show, but ended up being part of it instead. Then thinking about Tang Jinchen indeed visiting Tongtong this afternoon, and not just once.
A trace of displeasure arose in his heart, and he paid no more attention to Ziye.
Instead, he said to Bai Yiyi, "Yiyi, let’s go to the hospital to pick up Tongtong from work."
And departed!
Wen Jin’s mouth twitched, and he said to Jing Xiaocha beside him, "Xiaocha, let’s go home too."
——
Qin Qingqing explained a few more things to Tang Jinchen and Ye Zhan on the way back.
Tang Jinchen was a little annoyed, "Qingqing, don’t you see this is Mo Ziye’s scheme?"
"Cousin, you’re overthinking it."
"I’m not overthinking. He clearly has a girlfriend but can’t stand seeing you interact with other men. That’s why he asked Ah Zhan and me to move to the Mo family."
"Jinchen, this isn’t Qingqing’s fault, don’t take it out on her."
Ye Zhan curled his lips slightly, "Qingqing, you don’t need to explain, I know this wasn’t your idea."
"..."
"You promised to host me for a few days earlier, it’s impossible to go back on that now."
Ye Zhan’s tone was both understanding and trusting of her.
Qin Qingqing felt a bit embarrassed hearing this, concealing it with a smile, "Actually, Aunt Wen’s home is great, Aunt Wen and Uncle Mo are very nice, staying with them will be comfortable."
"Ah Zhan has already agreed."
Tang Jinchen knew both Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran were good people.
But he just couldn’t stand Mo Ziye’s possessiveness over Qingqing; it was one thing before, but they’ve broken up now.
He already has a girlfriend, yet he still intervenes in Qingqing’s affairs.
"If you don’t want to go, you can stay here, I’ll go alone to the Mo family."
Ye Zhan wore a smile, speaking indifferently.
"Is this okay?"
Tang Jinchen thought it wasn’t right.
They were together, him staying at the Qin family seemed like throwing Ye Zhan out.
Ye Zhan wasn’t bothered.
He decided directly, "Let’s do it, you stay here, I’ll pack and move to the Mo family. You and Qingqing are cousins, this is your home, no one will talk behind your backs."
"But you staying at the Mo family alone..."
"What’s the big deal, I can come back to find you anytime."
Tang Jinchen instantly understood.
"Alright, I’ll stay here, you’ll go to the Mo family."
Qin Qingqing frowned slightly, "Cousin, is this really appropriate?"
"Qingqing, I’ll call Grandpa An to explain later, it’ll be fine, I’m heading upstairs to get my baggage."
"Qingqing, I’ll go upstairs to help Ah Zhan."
——
Looking at them going upstairs one after another, Qin Qingqing pursed her lips and sat on the sofa.
While waiting for them to pack and come down, she took out her phone, hesitating whether to call her grandpa.
Not even two minutes later, her phone rang.
It was Old Man An calling.
"Qingqing, that Ziye kid called just now, saying he invited Ah Zhan and Jinchen to stay at the Mo family, and mentioned they’d agreed. So let them go."
"Grandpa, understood."
Qin Qingqing replied with a smile.
"Qingqing, when Ah Zhan and Jinchen are back in Imperial City in a few days, come back with them until the Spring Festival. With your dad in Imperial City, we’re not at ease having you alone in G City."
"Grandpa, I’m not a child anymore."
"In your grandpa’s eyes, you’ll always be a child unless you find a good man to marry one day, then I can be at peace."
Without waiting for Qin Qingqing to speak, Old Man An continued, "Among the many young men in Imperial City, Ah Zhan is the one your grandfather and I favor the most. Qingqing, a good man is hard to come by, take your opportunity wisely."
