“Of course I have to go. His excuse is for me to return home with you. If I’m not there, how does that work?”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They probably understood that the other party did not have any good intentions.

The next afternoon.

Chi Xiao and Mo Ting arrived at the Chi family home early in the morning. They were so early that Chi Rui did not even rush back from the company.

As soon as they entered the Chi family home, Chi Xiao could smell a complex scent that was neither fragrant nor smelly. They looked at each other and a flash appeared in their eyes as they had an understanding.

Chi Xiao and Mo Ting arrived so suddenly that Chi Ying did not even have the time to retract the smug look on her face.

Qi Yun was still older and had experienced more storms, so her reaction was faster. Before Chi Xiao could speak, she walked up to her with a smile on her face that was barely squeezed out, “Xiao Xiao and Mo… Mo Ting are here? Come, come and sit.”

Chi Xiao looked at the wrinkles on Qi Yun’s face and suddenly laughed out loud. “Sure, I just don’t know where to sit.”

There was only one sofa in the room, and Chi Ying occupied the center of the sofa.

It went without saying what Chi Xiao meant.

If it was in the past, Chi Ying would definitely quarrel endlessly. But now, Chi Ying was only stunned for a moment. Then, as if nothing had happened, she patted her butt and stood up from the sofa. She even said, “I’ll wash some fruits for you.”

The Chi family was not as big as the Mo family. They also could not hire as many nannies as the Mo family. The Chi family only had one nanny, Aunt Li, who had been around for many years. Recently, Aunt Li’s health had been declining, and Chi Yun was still planning to find a new nanny.

Sitting on the sofa with Mo Ting, Chi Xiao listened to Qi Yun speak calmly and confidently. This was the first time Chi Xiao realized that Qi Yun actually knew how to speak. She looked at Qi Yun with a smile that was not a smile, and it made her face turn pale.

In the end, she could not take it any longer and said, “How about this, I’ll call your father and see when he’ll be back. Seriously, he clearly knows that his daughter is coming home today, so why isn’t he back yet?”

Hence, only Mo Ting and Chi Xiao were left in the living room.

“What do you think this fragrance is?” Chi Xiao asked softly.

Mo Ting responded in a soft voice, “It’s probably something that makes people feel weak. It can’t be something interesting, right?”

The two of them did not talk for long before Chi Rui returned with a middle-aged man.

The moment the middle-aged man saw Mo Ting, his eyes suddenly widened. He quickly stepped forward and shook Mo Ting’s hand repeatedly. “Young Master Mo, your reputation precedes you. I’ve wanted to meet you for a long time. It’s a pity that my status isn’t high enough. It’s also a pity that I never had the chance to meet you.”

These words were spoken in a way that made people feel like he was putting on airs.

Chi Xiao looked at this person and vaguely thought that he looked familiar. She then shifted his gaze to Mo Ting. As she watched Mo Ting speak in a manner that wasn’t considered smooth, she faintly laughed in her heart.

When had the dignified Young <aster Mo ever done such a thing?

When was it his turn to exchange pleasantries with others?

This was also his first time.

“Look at you guys, why are you talking at the door? Come quickly, the food has just been prepared. Wash your hands, it’s time to eat.” Qi Yun wiped her hands, and those who did not know what was going on would definitely mistake Qi Yun for a good wife and mother.

“Sister-in-law is really kind.” The man who followed Chi Rui over smiled and flattered, “If this were your sister-in-law, she wouldn’t even be willing to put on a show, let alone cook a meal.”

As he spoke, he sighed again, appearing even more pretentious.

Sensing Chi Xiao’s confusion, Mo Ting asked casually, “May I know your name?”

The man patted his head and said, “Look at me, I’ve already forgotten to introduce myself. My name is Chen Hui. I’m the artistic director of Xingsheng Group. This is my business card.”

Chen Hui?

Chen Hui…

This name sounded a little familiar.

When she looked at Chen Hui’s face again, she felt that she had seen this face somewhere before.

Chi Xiao was a little uncertain. She turned to look at Mo Ting. However, she saw that Mo Ting’s expression suddenly became ugly. Just by seeing his look, she knew who this Chen Hui was.

However, due to the fact that there were a lot of people present, it was not appropriate for Chi Xiao to ask. Hence, she could only suppress this doubt in her heart. During this meal, she also paid a lot of attention to this Chen Hui.

However, Chen Hui was too active. The more she looked at him, the more he looked like a clown. He did not match up to the resourceful image of a mastermind.

After dinner, when Chi Rui and Chen Hui were about to drink with Mo Ting, Chi Xiao suddenly looked at the side of Chen Hui’s face and remembered where she had seen him before.

To be exact, she had never seen Chen Hui before. Instead, she had seen a photo of Chen Hui’s younger sister!

Chen Hui was actually the brother of Mo Jun’s true love.

The two siblings were had the same mother and looked very similar. No wonder Chi Xiao found Chen Hui familiar at first glance.

At this moment, Chi Xiao looked at Mo Ting again. His hands were tense, and his eyes were cold and stern. It was obvious that he was extremely patient.

Chi Xiao could not help but place her hand on the back of Mo Ting’s hand. When she looked at Mo Ting, there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

On the other hand, Mo Ting gave her a comforting smile..
