1234 That Gentleness, That Pleasant Countenance (2/2)

”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!
