Banxia's movements were slight, and before she could turn around, she saw the man on the opposite side glance in that direction. "Is there a certain connection between my return and your return?"
"No."
Mo Chenyan snorted faintly. "Since there isn't, why would I tell you?"
The man behind said expectantly, "But if I were to know that you brought a woman back, I would come back no matter what."
The sound of footsteps gradually approached from the door. Mo Jinghan put his hands in his trouser pockets and called obediently, "Grandpa, Grandma."
Before he finished greeting them, his slender figure had already stopped beside Banxia.
His solemn shadow slanted to one side, and Banxia breathed out. She put down her chopsticks and looked up at him with a smile. "Big Brother, hello, I'm Ye Banxia."
Even his grandparents have accepted her, so she naturally didn't have to worry about this big brother disliking her.
But Mo Jinghan's reaction was beyond her expectation. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Yo, this little girl looks pretty fresh."
Everyone went speechless. She was speechless.
Was he and Mo Chenyan really brothers?
Banxia looked at his handsome beauty that was exactly like Mo Chenyan's, but one was indifferent and solemn, and the other was evil and unruly. They carried different styles, and the only slight similarity was between their eyebrows. If they went out, nobody would think they were brothers.
In the meantime, a black shadow flashed in front of her suddenly, accompanied by the old man's disgusted roar. "Stinky boy, what little girl, this is your sister-in-law!"
Banxia was shocked. Smashing things was indeed the way the old chief showed his love for his juniors…
Although he was drinking water, he caught the paper bag thrown by the old chief. But he still choked abruptly and coughed several times. "What?"
The word "sister-in-law" had been intentionally emphasized by the chief. Of course, Mo Jinghan knew the meaning.
Although it was a strange thing for the second son to bring a woman home, compared to the word "sister-in-law", Mo Jinghan felt like the former was simply a small thing. So, his brother… had a wife now?
Mo Jinghan looked at Zhu Meiying incredulously. "Grandma, how long have I not been back?"
The old lady glanced at him. "You just came back yesterday."
Mo Jinghan's expression became even more confused. "So what happened today that I don't know about?"
Brother marrying a wife was earth-shattering news, yet he had been kept from it?
The old lady sneered immediately when she heard him. "It wasn't only you, even your grandpa and I only learned about it. Who knew this stinky boy skipped a step and burdened this young lady, so he had to hurry up and certify their relationship!"
This time it was Banxia's turn to choke, and her fair face flushed instantly.
Mo Chenyan glanced at the old lady. He then got up and poured a glass of water to Banxia. "What are you anxious about?"
Banxia: "…"
Did this man not have any sense of shame? Didn't he know why? Was it necessary for her to explain it?!
Zhu Meiying realized that she shouldn't say this in front of her grandson's wife. She quickly grabbed her hand and smiled appeasingly. "Banxia, grandma isn't saying that it's not good. Although my views are relatively traditional, I'm not an old-fashioned stubborn person. As long as you are all happy, I wouldn't mind even if it was a shotgun marriage."
Not only did it not matter, but she was also elated by it.
Banxia bit her lip and looked at her. Grandma, how are you traditional? You're obviously more open-minded than anyone else.
…
After dinner, the old man and the old lady took Banxia to talk in the living room, while Mo Chenyan and Mo Jinghan went to the outside terrace.
The sky was completely dark. Mo Jinghan lit a cigarette, and the evening wind blew across his face. The dots of light on the cigarette butt suddenly flickered, reflecting his handsome face.
It took a long time before he asked lightly, "Are you serious?"
"What do you mean?"
"Our grandparents might not have paid much attention to the Ye family, but I still know a little."
He took a breath and narrowed his eyes slightly. "I don't care how you know each other, but Ye Banxia chose to marry you when she was forced into a corner. Can you be sure that this isn't a fake relationship?"
Mo Chenyan frowned. "Why do you care about my woman's situation so much?"
He was speechless.
Mo Jinghan glanced at him faintly. "Second Grandson Mo, has your head been caught by the door? That woman looks very clean and innocent, I can't tell what method she used to captivate you so quickly."
Quickly?
Mo Chenyan also took out a cigarette and lighter from his trouser pocket. He stuck it between his fingers but didn't smoke, just letting the evening wind blow the flashing cigarette butt shorter and shorter.
"It has been a long time."
He murmured softly, his voice almost disappearing with the wind.
He didn't know if his brother heard it. He massaged his eyebrows and lowered his eyes before continuing, "After the Ye family's accident, I was the one who sought her first. She was forced to marry me for my help, so she must feel aggrieved."
One million yuan. In exchange for saving Ye Hanyan, she had married him.
He didn't know how many times Madam Mo had cried secretly.
"You sought for her?"
Mo Jinghan looked at his handsome and indifferent profile with distaste but found that he was really worried about nothing. Although this younger brother had no women around him, he wasn't really ignorant about love. At such a critical moment, he had even found her weakness to obtain her.
"Then she must really be aggrieved." Mo Jinghan snorted. "To be eyed by a big wolf like you."
"If I'm a big wolf, are you a small one?" Mo Chenyan sneered.
He didn't even look at him afterward but left him with an indifferent and noble back view. He threw away the cigarette in his hand and went into the house.
After three seconds, Mo Jinghan cursed lowly.
Back in the living room, Mo Chenyan walked towards the people on the couch with his long legs and said softly, "Grandpa, Grandma, it's late, we should go back."
The old lady glared at him angrily. "Stinky boy, you rarely even come back. Can't you stay overnight?"
"Grandma, Banxia doesn't have her clothes here. I'm afraid it's not too convenient."
"The clothes aren't a big issue. You can make a phone call now and have someone send you a set tomorrow morning."
Mo Chenyan was expressionless. "What about tonight?"
The old lady gave him a distasteful look. "Aren't you husband and wife?"
Mo Chenyan paused for a while before saying, "She has no habit of sleeping naked."
The old lady looked at him, her eyes full of contempt. "Second grandson Mo, I'm asking you to let her wear your clothes, what are you thinking?"
Banxia simply wanted to dig a hole in the ground and burrow herself inside. She felt like after today, even if she didn't do anything, her image would be completely destroyed by Mo Chenyan.
"Ha…" Mo Jinghan walked to the door and just heard these two words. He couldn't help but chuckle.
"Grandma, Second Brother just wanted to lend your words…"
