Chapter 170: Chapter 165: His Arrival on New Year’s Eve 2 (Second Update)

Qin Qin hadn’t expected Mo Yunchen to come, or rather, she was very, very shocked! On New Year’s Eve, he actually came all the way from Jingdu City to Chuandu City.

At that time, she was having the reunion dinner with her family, joyful and delighted.

This was her first New Year in this world, and also her first time experiencing the festive atmosphere of the New Year in this world.

At the moment, her family, including the lone Zhao Han, were gathered around eating hotpot. Qin Qin really liked this world’s hotpot, so today Lee Fong had gone early to buy fresh ingredients to make hotpot for Qin Qin. Lee Fong’s culinary skills were very good, and the flavor of the hotpot base was delicious.

"Come on, come on, Happy New Year!" Qin An was extremely happy today and stood up with his glass.

Qin Qin gently looked at her father, standing up with the others and happily clinking glasses.

With the bubbling hotpot base and lively atmosphere, Qin Qin picked up her chopsticks and swished them through the hotpot.

The doorbell outside rang, and Qin Qin and the others looked over in puzzlement.

"Who could it be at this time?" Lee Fong prepared to stand up to answer the door but was stopped by Qin Qin.

"I’ll go. You guys keep eating!"

Qin Qin wiped the corner of her mouth, stood up, and went to open the door, "Who is it?!"

As the villa’s front door opened, a tall and slender figure appeared before Qin Qin. Standing quietly in the light from the streetlamp, his handsome face, like that of the Heavenly God, was shadowy but visible.

Seeing the visitor, Qin Qin’s eyes widened in shock, "How did you get here?"

Mo Yunchen didn’t speak, just kept staring at Qin Qin.

Qin Qin bit her lower lip, not understanding why he would come on such an important night.

"Qin Qin, who is it, why haven’t you come back in?" Qin An’s voice sounded from behind her.

"Coming!" She called back over her shoulder, then turned to Mo Yunchen, noticing that neither Mo Sheng nor Mo Tang were with him, her hand tightening on the door.

"You came here alone?!"

Mo Yunchen nodded lowly, "Hmm!"

"It’s the thirty, and you ran over here. Come in!" Qin Qin stepped aside to let Mo Yunchen in.

Mo Yunchen walked into the villa and looked around Qin Qin’s home. It was not very large, but everywhere was filled with warmth, making his gaze linger for a moment.

A group of people sat in the dining room, looking at Mo Yunchen with confusion, especially Zhao Han, who lost control and stood up, barely concealing his astonishment, "Mo Di! Oh, no, I should address you as Master Mo now."

Zhao Han knew Mo Yunchen; back in the day, he’d even wanted to challenge Mo Yunchen but to no avail. Now he was seeing Mo Di, Mo Yunchen, at Qin Qin’s house on New Year’s Eve, and he knew that after Mo Yunchen had left the company, he took over the Mo Corporation and everyone called him Master Mo.

Seeing the unfamiliar man, Mo Yunchen’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, "Who are you?!"

In the face of Mo Yunchen, Zhao Han’s admiration outweighed his envy. That Mo Di, who at eighteen had already taken a boss’s position and was extremely capable in commanding all sorts of tasks, the same Mo Di who once fought alone against several man-eating crocodiles, even he, once the Eagle King, a legend in his own right, couldn’t help but be impressed. In the eyes of Zhao Han and others who knew of Mo Yunchen, it was Mo Yunchen who was the legendary figure. Back then, even as the Eagle King, he couldn’t get close to Mo Yunchen, and now, after retiring for several years, he was meeting the once Mo Di in such a small place. He knew Mo Yunchen’s identity, the one in charge of the towering Mo Corporation, the lofty Master Mo.

And now, why would that Master Mo come to such a humble place? What was his relationship with Qin Qin? Could it really be just an acquaintance?

Hiding his shock and complex emotions, Zhao Han stepped forward and saluted, a gesture of respect for Mo Yunchen.

"Zhao Han! Former captain of the Falcon Special Forces."

Mo Yunchen looked at Zhao Han. His memory was very good. Although he had never confronted Zhao Han directly, he also knew about Zhao Han, the former captain of the Falcon Team, a legend always kept under him. He’d heard that Zhao Han once wanted to challenge him, but at that time, he wouldn’t have paid attention to anyone’s challenge.

"This is my person!" Seeing that Mo Yunchen was just staring at Zhao Han and not saying anything, Qin Qin spoke up directly.

Mo Yunchen glanced at Qin Qin, then set his gaze back on Zhao Han, and spoke in a deep voice, "Stay with her well."

"Qin Qin is my benefactor; of course, I will stay with her properly," declared Zhao Han in a firm voice, carrying the resolve of a military oath, leading Mo Yunchen to nod.

Qin Qin looked at the two men and noticed Qin An and Lee Fong awkwardly looking their way. She really felt a bit of a headache; this man couldn’t have chosen a worse time to come.

"Dad, Aunt Lee, Sister Xuezhen, this is my friend Mo Yunchen! I didn’t properly introduce him to you last time." Qin Qin pulled Mo Yunchen forward to introduce him to Qin An.

Mo Yunchen glanced at Qin An and the other two, nodding towards them, "I am Mo Yunchen."

When it came to others, even Qin Qin’s father, he seldom spoke, almost never opening his mouth.

It was only in front of Qin Qin that he would act like a normal person.

Feeling Mo Yunchen’s indifferent demeanor, Qin An was somewhat uneasy, but still spoke out, "Qin Qin, let your friend sit down!"

Qin An, Lu Xue Zhen, and Zhao Han also took their seats. Qin Qin walked over to her spot and sat down. Seeing this, Mo Yunchen immediately took the empty seat next to her.

Lee Fong brought out a set of chopsticks and a bowl, placing them in front of Mo Yunchen.

Mo Yunchen glanced at the hot pot in front of him but did not speak.

Everyone looked at Mo Yunchen and saw that he hadn’t picked up his chopsticks. Qin An asked his daughter Qin Qin in a low voice, "Is our food not to the taste of your friend?!"

Having never encountered such a formidable presence, Qin An was instinctively frightened and didn’t dare to ask Mo Yunchen directly, so he turned to ask his daughter Qin Qin.

Qin Qin glanced at the motionless Mo Yunchen, directly picked up a piece of chicken from the hot pot, and put it in Mo Yunchen’s bowl, saying to Qin An, "How could it not suit his taste? He’s just shy, right?"

Qin Qin smiled at Mo Yunchen, a hint of warning flashing in her eyes, signaling for him not to behave like this in front of her relatives.

Mo Yunchen elegantly picked up the piece of chicken from his bowl and put it into his mouth to taste. The spiciness flooded his mouth, causing his eyebrows to furrow tightly, but he still swallowed it down.

"It tastes very good!"

Qin An’s face relaxed, "If you like it, eat more. Qin Qin loves hot pot the most."

Hearing that Qin Qin liked it, Mo Yunchen looked at her as she really did pick up quite a bit, and asked in a deep voice, "You like eating this?"

It was his first time eating hot pot, and his first time eating something spicy; the sensation was somewhat uncomfortable for him.

Qin Qin blanched some greens and nodded, "Yeah, it’s quite delicious, don’t you like it?"

"...I like it!" Of course he would like whatever she liked.

However, although Mo Yunchen said he liked it, he hardly tasted it, merely watching Qin Qin eat with relish.

Qin An, seeing that Mo Yunchen wasn’t picking up much food, thought that he was just being shy, and quickly told his daughter, "Qin Qin, don’t just focus on yourself, take care of your friend too. I see he’s not eating much."

Immersed in the enjoyment of the meal, Qin Qin honestly hadn’t paid much attention to Mo Yunchen sitting beside her—or perhaps it was more accurate to say she was deliberately ignoring him. Sitting next to him indeed felt pressuring, and the thought of him and her made her want to flee, forcing herself not to pay attention to him and focusing her mind on the food.

Qin Qin smiled at Qin An, directly picked up a piece of fish and put it in Mo Yunchen’s bowl, saying, "Don’t you have hands? Pick it up yourself!"

Lu Xue Zhen had been quietly eating hot pot. Hearing Qin Qin’s somewhat rude words to Mo Yunchen, she noticed that the handsome young man did not show any anger or dissatisfaction, smiling inwardly. It appeared that each had a way of bringing the other down a notch.

Zhao Han could hardly believe it and hadn’t spoken throughout the meal, but occasionally lifted his head to look at Qin Qin and Mo Yunchen. He was even more astonished that the eminent figure actually treated his current small boss Qin Qin like this. Their relationship must be far from simple.

Mo Yunchen picked up the piece of fish Qin Qin had put in his bowl, not noticing the large chunk of chili hidden inside the curled-up fish, and the spiciness made him close his eyes. With his mouth full of burning sensation, he covered it with his hand, frowning deeply in discomfort.

"What’s wrong with you?" Detecting something off with Mo Yunchen beside her, Qin Qin quickly asked.

Zhao Han raised his head to look at Mo Yunchen, noticing beads of sweat forming on his forehead, "Master Mo doesn’t eat chili, does he?"

Startled, Qin Qin rebuked Mo Yunchen in a low voice, "Can’t you eat spicy food? Why didn’t you say anything!"

She didn’t bother to pour water for Mo Yunchen and instinctively passed her own drink to him.

Lu Xue Zhen noticed this but was too late to stop it. Qin Qin had actually offered her half-finished drink to this man named Mo Yunchen.

Mo Yunchen hesitated for not even a moment before taking the drink from Qin Qin’s hand, aware that she had drunk from it, but why would that bother him? He downed it in one gulp.

After Mo Yunchen finished the drink and handed the empty cup back to Qin Qin, she realized what she had just done, feeling a bit of remorse flooding her heart.

Noticing the remorse in her eyes, Mo Yunchen’s phoenix eyes glinted with amusement, "Thank you for the drink, it was very tasty."

Hearing his words, Qin Qin gave Mo Yunchen a glare, "Remember to say what you don’t eat in the future, to avoid making everyone uncomfortable."

"Mm! Sorry!" His low, sexy voice resonated, satisfying Qin Qin enough to nod her head.

"Clack!" The sound of chopsticks dropping to the floor.

Qin Qin looked over, only to see that both Zhao Han and Lu Xue Zhen’s chopsticks had simultaneously fallen to the ground. The two of them gave an awkward smile at the others, involuntarily exchanging glances with each other before quickly looking away.

"Let’s eat, come on!" Zhao Han covered up his lapse in composure, and thinking back to the moment the chopsticks fell, he felt as if struck by lightning. He simply couldn’t fathom what he had just heard.

Mo Di, Master Mo, had just apologized to Qin Qin, with such sincerity! Was there no end to this surprise, this lapse in composure that made his chopsticks fall to the floor?

The dinner proceeded without any further instances of awkwardness, the group enjoying the hot pot happily, with the exception of the mostly silent Mo Yunchen.
