Chapter 9: Want Some Spicy Crayfish

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Good daughter. I only have one daughter. How can I bear to let you marry a cripple?” Mrs. Qin’s attitude toward her two daughters could be said to be as different as heaven and earth.

“Is there no other solution?” It was Qin Yang who spoke. He was the eldest son of the Qin family. If there was anyone else in the Qin family who could show the slightest bit of affection and heartache for Qin Ran, it would probably be him.

“Old Master Fu has a big family and a big business. He and his wife had a son when they were old, and he only had this one son. Since he was young, they treasured him like he’s their precious flesh and blood. He wholeheartedly wanted his son to marry a wife to bring good luck after seeing his son like this.”

Mr. Qin’s words were not wrong. Back then, they had also taken a fancy to the fact that the Fu family only had this one son. In the future, all the family assets would belong to him. Furthermore, Old Master Fu was already over sixty years old, and his health was not good all year round. He was only a few years away from his death. Therefore, he tried his best to please the Fu family and finally got Qin Xue to be engaged to him.

“Then can they not marry the Qin family’s daughter? Why not just marry a random woman?” Qin Yang asked.

“The marriage between the only daughter of the Qin family and the only son of the Fu family has long been decided. They have also held an official engagement banquet. Anyone with any reputation knows that our two families are engaged. If we cancel the marriage because of this accident, not only will the Fu family be ridiculed, but our family will also be accused of being heartless and unjust.”

At this point, Mr. Qin let out a deep sigh. He had wanted to use his future son-in-law’s fame to do a few more projects, but who knew that once he stepped into a quagmire, he would not be able to pull it out.

“Xiao Xue, don’t be afraid.” Mrs. Qin suddenly slammed the table. “No matter what, that ingrate was born after I was pregnant for ten months and suffered from pain for an entire day and night. How could she abandon her relationship with the Qin family? How could she abandon the fact that I gave birth to her? If I’m forced into a corner, I’ll use this to threaten her. She has to marry him even if she doesn’t want to!”

At seven in the evening, in the Mo Residence.

“Sir, you’re back.”

Qin Ran sat on the sofa and listened to the approaching footsteps. She was actually looking forward to it.

“Ranran.”

The day before yesterday, it was Miss Qin, yesterday was Qin Ran, and today he called her Ranran.

“You’re back.” The young lady smiled innocently. There was a dimple on her fair face.

“Have you eaten?”

“Not yet, I’m waiting for you!”

Actually, Qin Ran had been hungry for a long time. She did not like to eat breakfast, but her love for dinner could be said to be strong. In addition to the morning sickness this afternoon, her stomach was already empty. However, since she was staying in the Mo Residence, she still had to maintain her respect for Mo Chi, the big president. How could the guest eat first when the owner did not come back?

When Mo Chi heard this, he was very gratified. The lass had improved since yesterday and had taken the initiative to wait for him to eat today. Not bad, not bad.

“If you’re hungry in the future, eat first. You don’t have to wait for me.” Although he was happy, it was still a special period.

Qin Ran nodded politely and smiled again.

“Sigh!” As Qin Ran looked at the healthy but light dishes, she started to worry. She muttered in her heart, ‘I’ve been hungry for so long, can’t I be rewarded with a crayfish?’

“What’s wrong?” Mo Chi saw that the lass’s brows were tightly knit together, and she looked miserable.

“I want to eat something special.” Qin Ran smiled in embarrassment.

“For example?” Mo Chi would eat this kind of healthy green vegetables almost every night. Sometimes, when he was too busy with work, he would only eat a bowl of porridge. Therefore, he really didn’t know what the special thing the young lady was referring to was.

Qin Ran looked left and right awkwardly. Her hands were moving around in front of her chest. After quite a while, she said in a low voice, “For example, snail rice noodles, stinky tofu, spicy crayfish.”

At this moment, Mo Chi’s face was full of question marks. He deeply felt that he was indeed an uncle and had a generation gap with the lass at home.

“It’s not good to eat these at night, right?” The lass opposite her looked like a glutton. Mo Chi couldn’t bear to directly reject her.

“I just want to eat spicy food. I really want to eat it.” In the past, Qin Ran had a special fondness for spicy food. After she got pregnant, she liked spicy food even more.

“How about we get Auntie Yue to cook some spicy food for you?” Upon hearing Mo Chi’s agreement, Qin Ran instantly smiled and nodded happily.

She was still a child after all, she would be satisfied with just a piece of candy. Unknowingly, a soft spot in Mo Chi’s heart was germinating.

After eating and drinking to her heart’s content, Qin Ran took a hot bath. She looked at the ceiling of the bathroom and calculated in her heart that the Qin family would not let go just like that. This group of people was like dog skin plaster that was hard to shake off.
