1245 Kisses, Hugs...And Hoisting Her up High? (1/2)

The words that were almost going to slip out of her mouth went back down again.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Mo Yongheng's eyes.

As his eyes met her cold gaze, he had yet to get the chance to speak before Tan Bengbeng had shaken off his hand and cautiously retreated a step.

Raising her head to look into his eyes, she asked, ”What were you about to say just now?”

”…”

He had much to say, but it was not the right time yet.

The elderly head of the Mo Family was seriously ill and Nian Xiaomu had just returned to the Mo Family. With Mo Kun at one side posing as a threat to her, and the responsibility placed upon him…

He had no choice but to hold it in!

But, he really could not bring himself to allow Tan Bengbeng to stay by Qi Yan's side.

”Bengbeng, listen to me. I won't harm you. Leave this place with me now. When I take you to Nian Xiaomu, I'll explain it to you slowly…”

Before Mo Yongheng had finished speaking, the sound of footsteps approaching came from behind.

What followed was Qi Yan's cold and detached voice.

”I knew you would try to hit on Bengbeng when I wasn't around. What are you doing? Let go of her!”

Qi Yan placed the glass of water down before pulling Tan Bengbeng away from Mo Yongheng's hands, dragging her behind himself to protect her.

With his word of command, the bodyguards stationed outside all flocked in and surrounded Mo Yongheng.

He looked seriously agitated about this!

”Qi Yan, Young Master Yongheng is just concerned about me. He means no harm. What are you doing?” Tan Bengbeng asked as she hurriedly grabbed onto Qi Yan's arm as she saw that things were about to blow out of proportion.

”He wants to snatch you away from me. That's the greatest harm he means!” Qi Yan was obviously doubtful of Mo Yongheng's intentions.

Even if he really meant no harm, anyone who dared to snatch his woman would have to suffer a beating even if their lives were spared. He had to show him who was boss!
