Trial Marriage Husband: Need to Work Hard
Translator: Yunyi Editor: Yunyi
The next day, while Qian Lan had class and Mo Zichen didnât, Qian Hui asked her men to invite Mo Zichen out for a chat.
To highlight her identity, Qian Hui specifically dressed in expensive clothing so Mo Zichen would realize Qian Lanâs status and knowingly retreat.
Mo Zichen thought about the man that had followed them yesterday, so, as soon as he saw Qian Hui, he immediately realizedâ her intent.
âPlease sit, Mr. Mo,â Qian Hui said as she pointed to a chair with her chin. She then removed her sunglasses and placed them on the table in front of them. âMy name is Qian Hui, I am Qian Lanâs older sister.â
âHello, Miss Qian,â Mo Zichen said as he sat down.
âIâve asked to see you here because I noticed youâve been getting really close to my sister lately. May I ask how far the two of you have progressed?â
âThat...seems to be my private matter,â Mo Zichen replied with a smirk that was neither friendly nor hostile.
âLet me put it this way, no matter how far youâve progressed, please stop where you are right now. My sister does not have an average identity. Iâm sure you understand what I mean,â Qian Hui said before she pulled out an envelope from her handbag, âThis is a small gesture from me. Please take it as an apology for my sudden intrusion today.â
Mo Zichen looked at the envelope and laughed, âMiss Qian is certainly generous, but I donât really need this.â
âIs it not enough for you?â
âI donât like it when people get involved with my private matters. Please leave, Miss Qian,â Mo Zichen directly expressed his thoughts.
âMr. Mo, did you perhaps already know our Qian Lanâs identity? Is that why you deliberately got close to her?â
âIâm not sure what kind of a throne the Qian Family has, but I honestly donât like it when people interfere with my life. No matter whoâs sitting opposite me today, I would give the same response.â
Mo Zichen found it quite hilarious: to prevent him from getting close to Qian Lan, the Qian Family actually tried to resolve it with money...
Qian Hui returned home in defeat. She originally thought that a bit of money would be enough to send the poor man away, but, from her point of view, Mo Zichen had obviously seen through Qian Lanâs identity and was trying to leech off her power and influence!
How could Qian Lan be interested in a man like that? He had no idea that it was time for him to retreat!
Qian Lan didnât know that Qian Hui spoke to Mo Zichen and Mo Zichen simply treated it like a joke, so he didnât tell Qian Lan about it.
However, during his mission at night, his colleague once again laughed at him, âHahaha, think about it, our almighty Young Master Mo; the beloved son of Mo Ting and Tangning; a man with enough of a family fortune to rule a country â someone actually threw money in your face? Hahaha!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âStop laughing!â Mo Zichen said helplessly.
âYou should have thrown a $1 million cheque back at her. What a joke! Our Young Master Mo may be lacking in many things, but moneyâs not one of them! That Family is clueless about your identity. If they knew, I bet theyâd be shocked.â
âItâs fine,â Mo Zichen didnât care at all.
âDonât you want to know what the Qian Family does?â
âWhat else could it be? I didnât realize it before, but when Qian Hui came looking for me, it quickly hit me. Whatâs the surname of the new man in office?â Mo Zichen replied. âBut, even though I know, my approach is still the same. Iâm not going to let anyone interfere with my private life.â
âWhat about your Mom?â
âMy Mom is the only exception!â Mo Zichen replied.
Not only was Tangning Mo Tingâs most precious, she was also Mo Zichenâs.
âTo be honest, I donât think you and Qian Lan make a good match...You should just forget about it.â
âStop talking nonsense. Get to work!â Mo Zichen did not express too much of how he felt about Qian Lan, so no one knew what he truly thought.
...
That day, after class, Qian Lan sent Mo Zichen a message, but Mo Zichen did not respond.
Qian Lan returned home, but to her surprise, she was greeted with a family meeting.
âQian Lan, come here,â Mother Qian ordered.
âMom...whatâs going on?â
âI asked your sister to speak to someone today. But she returned in disappointment,â Mother Qian said.
âWhoâs this someone?â
âDonât act dumb, how could the daughter of the mayor be interested in that poor man?â Qian Hui turned and said to her sister. âQian Lan, do you want the entire family to be turned into a joke because of you? Will that make you happy?â
After hearing Qian Huiâs response, Qian Lan had a bad feeling.
No wonder Mo Zichen never replied to her message that day. It turned out, her family had spoken to him.
With this thought, Qian Lan was furious, âThereâs nothing going on between us, why would you go looking for him?â
âI obviously went there to show him where we stand. The Qian Family will never accept a poor man as their son-in-law,â Qian Hui yelled. âYou need to understand that you are a part of the Qian Family, so it is your responsibility to protect the familyâs reputation.â
âMom, is that what you think too? Do you think that what Qian Hui did was right?â
âDonât blame your sister. I was the one that told her to do this,â Mother Qian humphed. âQian Lan, Iâve introduced so many eligible young men to you. You should, at least, choose one of them instead of choosing a mere physics teacher...â
âIâm honestly disappointed in you.â
âIâm disappointed in you too,â Qian Lan said as she threw open the doors to the house and stormed out.
She never expected that her family would interfere with her private matters like this, nor did she expect them to be so disrespectful to her life choices. Moreover, they even insulted Mo Zichen because of her!
With this thought, Qian Lan began to cry as she left. However, she didnât know where to go. Perhaps, it was a good choice for her to go apologize to Mo Zichen. But, after what her family did, how was she to initiate a meeting with him?
In the end, Qian Lan pulled out her phone and gave her friend a call. This was the friend that had originally introduced her to Mo Zichen.
From her friend, she managed to get Mo Zichenâs address.
Although she knew it wasnât convenient for her to suddenly show up at his place, she knew it would torment her if she didnât explain herself to him.
So, she went to Mo Zichenâs home. However, she rang the doorbell many times, yet there was no response. Was he not at home?
But, where could he be so late at night?
...
By the time that Mo Zichen completed his mission, it was already 1am. But, when he returned to his home, he spotted a person sitting on the stairs outside his apartment.
Mo Zichen had a proper look and realized it was Qian Lan.
âWhy are you sitting here?â Mo Zichen immediately walked over and covered her with his jacket.
Qian Lan stood up and looked at Mo Zichen apologeticallyâ, âIâm here to apologize on behalf of my family...â
âYou didnât need to do that. Itâs already so late, itâs not safe for a woman to be out here like this,â Mo Zichen replied with a calm voice.
But, his indifferent attitude was what made Qian Lan hurt even more, âDidnât you feel insulted at all?â
âYour family was only doing it for your own good. If we look at the situation from their point of view, they didnât do anything wrong.â
âThen, what about from your point of view?â Qian Lan asked.
âDonât do this ever again. There are so many stories about women being attacked late at night. You shouldnât be wandering around on your own like this,â Mo Zichenâs voice became more serious.
âYou donât care, do you?â
