533: The Serious Mo Chen

The Serious Mo Chen

Contrary to what Mo Roulan had thought, Mo Chen accepted the idea of their mother's remarriage sooner than she had expected him to do so. 

However, what she didn't know what that though Mo Chen's body was small as that of a twelve year old child, he had the mind of a man who had taken He Corporation to new heights in his past life. 

In fact, he knew more things that his sister knew. 

Things, he wished that his sister would not come to know of. 

In fact, when he got his memories back, Mo Chen really wished that his mother would live a happy life …a life she had missed on because of that man. 

A part of his heart was actually happy when he heard his sister but his heart was instantly filled with panic and worry as he wondered what kind of man his mother had found. 

What if he didn't turn out to be a good man! 

His mother was very simple minded and sometimes too naïve. Hence, it was reasonable for him to worry. 

When Mo Roulan told him that they were going to meet this man this evening only, Mo Chen immediately ran to his room to get ready. 

It took Mo Roulan a few moments to compose herself as she looked at the running brother. 

He Jian chuckled at her silly expression and said 

"Mo Chen is more sensible than you."

The boy had recognized his intentions. He knew his feelings for his sister and even encourage for him to win Mo Roulan's heart. Though it was slightly funny, He Jian appreciated Mo Chen's support. 

On the other hand, Mo Roulan scowled and looked at He Jian with narrowed eyes which made the latter chuckle again. 

"Are you not smiling too much these days?"

She couldn't help but say. 

He never used to smile let alone chuckle. 

In response, He Jian only smiled. He took Mo Roulan's hand kissed the back of it as he said 

"Well…I have a reason to smile. My girlfriend keeps me very satisfied and happy."

Mo Roulan felt as if his words were very suggestive. But then she though it was she who was having a perverted mind. 

However, when she saw the playful smile on He Jian's lips, she looked at him in shock. Throwing his hand away, she said that she was going inside to get ready. 

He Jian grinned as he looked at her back. 

So she was not as naïve as he had thought in these matters.

He Jian was seated in the living room when Mo Roulan came after getting ready. He was looking through some mails and said 

"I will drop you and Chenchen if you are ready."

However, Mo Roulan had to refuse him.

"Mom said that she will come to pick us. You should go and have some rest."

He Jian raised his head when he heard her words and said 

"Why, worried about me?" 

Mo Roulan almost rolled her eyes in response and didn't say anything in return. He Jian didn't mind her silence. 

When Mo Chen came to the living room, Mo Roulan received a text from Lin Qianru asking her to come down. 

She told Mo Chen about this. Hearing her, He Jian stood up. 

He followed them down. 

A car was standing in front of the building entrance. 

He Jian was walking behind Mo Roulan and Mo Chen. He stopped a few steps away as he looked at Mo Roulan and Mo Chen walking towards the car. 

His hands were in the pocket and his blue eyes flickered when he saw the man stepping out of the car to help Mo Roulan and Mo Chen open the door. 

It was Chi Rong. 

He Jian and Chi Rong's companies had completely different business areas. However, he did come across Chi Rong at a few parties. 

As much as he remember, he had not heard anything wrong about Chi Rong till today. However, he was still going to investigate once whether Chi Rong had any other intention behind this marriage. 

It was not only He Jian who was surprised to see Chi Rong. Mo Roulan and Mo Chen were also very surprised. 

Though they have met Chi Rong once, they only knew him as their mother's employer. 

Mo Roulan composed herself very soon. She held her brother's hand and walked towards the car again. 

She thanked Chi Rong when he opened the door for her. After she made Mo Chen sit inside, she also sat on the back seat with her brother. 

The ride was too awkward. At least that was what Mo Chen and Mo Roulan felt. 

Chi Rong asked them about their studies but after that, he didn't know what he should say or ask. 

The rest of the ride passed in silent. 

When they reached the restaurant, Mo Chen stepped out of the car and looked at the huge restaurant. 

He suddenly looked at Chi Rong and blinked innocently. 

"Uncle Chi, this restaurant must be very expensive. My family can't afford to pay here."

Chi Rong was surprised to hear Mo Chen speak suddenly but soon said 

"You don't need to worry about that, Mo Chen. Your uncle Chi will manage everything. Feel free to eat whatever you want."

However, Mo Chen was not finished yet and continued 

"But how can I let Uncle Chi pay for us? We are not a family yet?"

Lin Qianru looked at her son and Mo Roulan was doing the same. Why was Mo Chen making things difficult for Chi Rong? 

Chi Rong stared at the boy for a few moments.

A moment later, he smiled and asked gently

"Do you have any other place in your mind? We can go there if you want."

And the next moment, Mo Chen nodded his head and said the name of the place he wanted to go to. 

Lin Qianru, however, frowned and said

"It is alright to eat here for now. Going at another place would…"

Chi Rong held Lin Qianru's hand and said with the same gentle smile1

"It's alright. If the children doesn't enjoy the meal then what is the use of eating here? We will go wherever Mo Chen wants to go."

Mo Chen looked at Chi Rong's hand on his mother's hand and his eyes narrowed slightly. 

He looked away and got inside the car. 

His mother and sister might not know but he was testing Chi Rong's patience and sincerity. 

It took almost half an hour to reach the place Mo Chen had suggested. 

It was a small restaurant. Lin Qianru looked at Chi Rong worrying that he might not like such a small restaurant. However, Chi Rong blinked his eyes in assurance at her. 

Fortunately, the small restaurant had a private room. Chi Rong talked at the reception and after a few minutes, they were seated inside a private room. 

When the waiter came to take the order, Mo Chen ordered so many dishes that Lin Qianru wanted to scold him then and there. However, Chi Rong only smiled at the child and held Lin Qianru's hand under the table. 

It was Mo Roulan who snatched the menu from her brother's hand and send the waiter away. 

A moment later, Lin Qianru excused herself to go to washroom. 

As soon as she left, Mo Chen leaned forward. Putting his hands on the table in a business-like manner, he looked at Chi Rong seriously and said 

"Why do Uncle Chi wants to marry our mother?"
