1234: That Gentleness, That Pleasant Countenance

That Gentleness, That Pleasant Countenance

As such, to Tan Bengbeng, Mo Yongheng's status was actually no different from the others.2

She was more appreciative and respectful toward him only because he had saved the elderly head's life, as well as the fact that he had been serving him for the past few years.

Her attitude toward him was more welcoming too.

Not only did she personally invite Mo Yongheng to take a seat, she even told the bodyguards to pour him a cup of tea when he sat down.

As Tan Bengbeng had a cold personality, it was very difficult to get her to speak to a stranger, much less take the initiative to host someone.

But now, she was actually so nice to Mo Yongheng, someone whom she had merely met a few times…

The expression on Qi Yan's face instantly darkened.

He folded his arms and coldly studied Mo Yongheng from head to toe.

He was inferior to him in terms of looks.

He was surely not as wealthy as him either.

How well he treated Tan Bengbeng was definitely evident as well; as the King of Medicine who enjoyed a high status, he allowed Tan Bengbeng to order him around, just like a footman of hers. He was always so ready to serve her in any way, such as taking care of her meals and general wellbeing…

Who else could compete with him?

However, even so, Tan Bengbeng still would not spare a glance for him.

She was annoyed with him every day and simply treated him like an unwanted, shameless dog. However, she actually took the initiative to speak to Mo Yongheng.

Just look at her gaze toward Mo Yongheng—That gentleness, that pleasant countenance…

In comparison, her gaze toward him was completely different.

All she did was to glare at him!

Oh, she would roll her eyes at him incessantly too.

The more Qi Yan compared how they were both treated, the moodier he felt.

He had a feeling that his Bengbeng was about to get snatched away by others.

He had totally forgotten that she was currently pregnant with a tiny version of the King of Hell, and his heart sank to the deepest pits the moment he saw how gentle she was toward Mo Yongheng.

Following that, he even felt annoyed just by looking at Mo Yongheng!

"I heard that you are an indirect descendant of the Mo Family and that you were sent to the Mo Family's head to be raised by him. As such, you are considered a member of the Mo Family too, but why is it that I have never heard about your parents?"

With one hand supporting his head, Qi Yan leaned back on the sofa lazily.

He spoke in a nonchalant tone which made one unable to detect the meaning behind his question.

It seemed as if he was trying to understand his newfound friend.

Or perhaps, he had asked the question because he was not familiar with him and was wary toward him.

Tan Bengbeng turned around and cast him a glance.

Even though Qi Yan was very temperamental, he had made his name when he was very young and that resulted in him having a pretty good insight of others.

Could he have detected something amiss about Mo Yongheng and was reminding her to be careful of him?

After all, their antidote concerned the safety of the elderly head.

Tan Bengbeng's attitude subconsciously became cautious.

As she turned around to look at Mo Yongheng, an additional hint of inquiry appeared in her gaze.

After she had finished her training that year, she was sent to the Xing Family and had since been following Nian Xiaomu around.

She was actually not that familiar with Mo Yongheng.

He was already a charming youngster when she followed Nian Xiaomu back to the Mo Family for the first time.

As she was a secret guard, she would not be able to meet Mo Yongheng on her own unless Nian Xiaomu visited him.

Come to think of it, they had only met each other a few times.

Afterward, Nian Xiaomu had gone abroad for private schooling and the Tan family had also sent her to other places to pick up new skills. As such, she only returned to the Mo Family again with Nian Xiaomu when it was time for her to do so.

By that time, Mo Yongheng had already become the person whom the elderly head trusted the most.

The entire Mo Family was very polite toward him as well and no one dared to doubt his family background.

After Tan Bengbeng heard what Qi Yan said, she suddenly remembered that if he was really an indirect descendant of the Mo Family, he should have parents as well.

Furthermore, there was something else that was more important!
