  She remembered that the elderly head could not bear to see Nian Xiaomu getting married in a faraway place, and that was the reason why he adopted Mo Yongheng.

  If Mo Yongheng was indeed a descendant of the Mo Family, he must be in some way related to Nian Xiaomu by blood.

  In this case, how would the elderly head allow him to marry Nian Xiaomu?

  “I am not a child of the Mo Family, I was an orphan who was adopted by the elderly head. As my parents had some ties with the Mo Family, I was sent there after they died.”


  Mo Yongheng spoke slowly with a composed look.

  He spoke in a placid tone, and he did not seem to mind that his identity was doubted by someone else.

  He kept his gaze fixated on Tan Bengbeng the entire time.

  “I heard that you are Nian Xiaomu’s secret guard and that you have been protecting her all these years. Is it a tough job? Are… are you all good?” Mo Yongheng suddenly asked.

  He seemed to realize that his questions were a little abrupt after he was done asking.

  As he picked up the teacup in front of him, he took a sip to hide his unusual reaction.

  Before Tan Bengbeng could answer him, he spoke again.

  “The King of Hell is usually a lone operator, and it is really rare to see you on such friendly terms with people.”


  “…”


  The moment that Qi Yan had been waiting for seemed to have finally arrived when he heard what he said.

  He straightened his body and sat upright on the sofa.

  He forced a look of resignation and spoke slowly and clearly.

  “No choice, my Bengbeng is here and I have to protect her. She’s too innocent, what if someone gets his hands on her?”


  “…”


  “…”


  She did not belong to him!

  The same sentence flashed past Mo Yongheng and Tan Bengbeng’s mind at the same time.

  Before Mo Yongheng could react, Tan Bengbeng had already raised her hand to cover Qi Yan’s mouth and forced him to sit down properly.

  “What’s wrong with speaking the truth? I feel wronged…”


  Just as Qi Yan pulled her hand down and was about to complain, Tan Bengbeng cast a fierce glare at him. It was the roll of her eyes which he was very familiar with.

  She was pregnant and she could not be angered.

  He would not provoke her.

  Qi Yan finally calmed down after he was done with swearing on his sovereignty.

  However, Mo Yongheng’s expression did not seem good.

  As he met Tan Bengbeng’s gaze, he asked her directly in a serious tone, “Are the two of you dating?”


  “Things were not what you thought it was…”


  Just as Tan Bengbeng was about to deny it, Qi Yan had already squeezed his body up to her and answered on her behalf.

  “Things were not what you thought it was, we don’t have to date at all. It was love at first sight for both of us, and we have already decided to spend the rest of our lives with each other!”


  “…”


  “…”


  Love at first sight, spend the rest of their lives together? No way!

  Whoever has agreed to spend the rest of her life with him?

  Tan Bengbeng’s face turned red from embarrassment when she heard him spouting nonsense, and she wished that she could seal his mouth with tape at that very moment.

  Mo Yongheng’s face turned ugly almost immediately as well as he replied subconsciously, “Why did you get together so rashly when you barely knew each other… What I meant was, marriage is something that should be taken seriously! You must at least tell your family members about it; granted your parents are no longer around, you should at least let the elderly head know about it…”


  “How did you know that my parents were dead?” Tan Bengbeng asked in surprise when she heard what he said.

  “…”


  Mo Yongheng’s face froze slightly.

  A moment later, he narrowed his eyes with a downcast look and said, “Every generation of the Tan family has been protecting the Mo Family, and your parents were the guardians of the Mo Family too. The elderly head was so upset when they passed away that he fell sick for a period of time, so I have some recollections of it.”


  When Mo Yongheng finished speaking, he lifted his head and took a glance at Qi Yan.

  He frowned in displeasure when he saw his devilish and undisciplined face.

  He said in a low voice, “He is not suitable for you, nor does he deserve you!”
