Chapter 526: Chapter 526 The Man in a Bad Mood (2)_1

"Indeed." Mo Heng nodded coldly.

Wu Dongsi smiled as he offered congratulations. Although Mo Heng had broken away from the Mo family, he didn’t seem destitute; his demeanor was still compelling. Looking at him like this, it was as if he truly wanted to marry Pei Qin. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to snatch her away from Shen Songming.

Pei Qin thanked him and took a cartload of New Year goods back home with Mo Heng.

This year, there were a few more people celebrating the New Year, but it felt even less festive.

Mo Heng, sullen by nature.

Feng Wei said he was old and couldn’t be lively even if he wanted to, so he just went along with the crowd.

The two people recently sent by Shen Songming were of the cool and distant sort.

Apart from Zhang Gengshan, who was a bit more lively.

But with so many eyes watching, with more than half of the people either quiet or cold, how could anyone feel happy or festive?

Pei Qin had become pregnant again.

So, on New Year’s Eve after dinner, the group played for a while, and seeing that Pei Qin was truly tired, they let her go to bed first.

Pei Yuan and Pei Qian, along with Pei Wendong, had stayed up for the New Year and then also returned to their rooms to sleep.

All being younger relatives, and with no other family in town, they didn’t need to get up early to pay New Year’s visits, nor did they need to accommodate younger relatives coming over for visits. This New Year, they almost slept through it.

However, on the first day of the new year, more people than usual came to the house, especially young girls who came to play with Pei Yuan and Pei Qian.

If it weren’t for the New Year, Pei Qian would have really wanted to give them the cold shoulder. Didn’t these people have any shame? Grown girls, coming over to their house, pretending to want to play with them, but really just coming to gawk at their elder brother-in-law.

Therefore, anyone asking to play with Pei Qin was rejected by her, "My elder sister is a bit tired from the New Year, and she really can’t stand any noise right now!"

Although there was no explicit news of Pei Qin’s pregnancy, the town was abuzz with talk that she was pregnant. Getting pregnant right after getting married had made many people envious. With a husband as handsome as Mo Heng, the child was sure to be strikingly beautiful too! Seeing Pei Qian standing guard, they felt embarrassed to press further and instead turned to inquire whether Pei Qin really was pregnant.

Pei Qian neither denied nor confirmed it.

When visiting relatives on the third day, the people of Fang Family Village acted the same, finding some excuse to come over, just to catch a glimpse of Mo Heng.

Seeing those people staring at Mo Heng, with some girls unable to look away, Grandma Fang and Lady Yu were somewhat displeased. Was it proper for young girls to stare at someone else’s husband like that?

Fang Li reminded Mo Heng to keep his distance.

"I am Qinqin’s husband, there is nothing that can’t be seen!" Mo Heng stood beside Pei Qin, letting people look as they wished, but responding coldly to anyone who spoke to him.

"With a cousin-in-law as handsome as you are, it’s destined that you’ll be watched wherever you go," Feng Bo chuckled.

"It’s just a face. People will naturally get tired of it after looking too much," Mo Heng glanced at him darkly.

Feeling the chill in his gaze, Feng Bo wasn’t sure if Mo Heng knew about his past confession and was therefore taking a dislike to him. Mo Heng showed no goodwill towards him.

Grandma Fang saw that Lady Yu and Lady Ruan hurriedly cooked, making a clear soup and a plain congee for Pei Qin, along with some delicate dishes, urging them to eat quickly and go back home. The people coming to see Mo Heng really had no sense of propriety!

Fang Fang couldn’t bear to look away, "My cousin-in-law is so handsome! If the man proposing to me were this good-looking, I would have agreed."

There was a suitor who had come over before the New Year, and though he was decent-looking, after seeing Mo Heng, and then looking back at him, the difference was just too great for Fang Fang to have any interest.

Lady Yu came up and pinched her hard, "If you don’t get serious about losing weight, you won’t even be able to find a bad match!"

Fang Fang yelped in pain and jumped up, "I’ve already eaten very little this year! Haven’t you noticed that I’ve lost a whole ring of fat? All the delicious New Year foods, it was Liuyang and Fang Xin who ate it all. I hardly had any!" she said, pouting aggrievedly.
