Downstairs, Madam Long was in the kitchen preparing breakfast. When she saw Mo Chi walk in, she immediately greeted him with a smile, "Mo Chi, you woke up so early? Did you come back rather late last night? Do you still want to work today? "

"I don't need to work today. Mom, why are you making breakfast today?" Mochi asked, standing by the door.

"It's rare for all of you to be back. Of course I have to personally make breakfast. You need to stay at home for a few more days." Madam Long placed the poached eggs into a basin and urged, "Sit outside for now. You'll be fine in a moment."

"Mom, let me help you."

"No need, no need to help." She turned and walked back to the kitchen. She sat alone at the dining table, thinking about how Long Han had come back, and how he had come back so rarely.

Ever since she and Long Fei had married, Long Han had rarely returned to this home. Only the people involved knew the reason. The Long family's two elders didn't know the reason, so every time Long Han returned, the Long family's two elders would be very happy.

After sitting at the dining table for a while, sounds of footsteps came from outside the dining room. Mo Chi's heart tightened. She was too familiar with this footstep. She had been in love with Long Han for four to five years, how could she not hear his footsteps?

She and Long Han were alumni of the same level, and their age was the same as well. During the four to five years of their relationship, the two of them had always been on good terms. If not for the sudden appearance of Long Fei, she might have already married Long Han.

Compared to two years ago, Long Han had matured a lot and had become silent. When he saw Mo Chi, he gave a faint smile and shouted, "Good morning, Eldest Sister-in-law."

This call to his sister-in-law caused great pain in his heart, but she still had to pretend that nothing had happened. She smiled and nodded. "Good morning. How come you're free to come home today?"

"The studio hasn't been busy lately, so I came back to take a look."

Ever since he was young, Dragon Wave had loved painting and photography. He had opened his own studio when he was still in university, and at that time, Mo Chi was his right-hand man.

"How's the popularity of the studio recently?" Mo Chi lowered his eyes and asked, obviously trying to find something to say.

Long Han knew that she didn't have the heart to wait for the answer, so he answered absent-mindedly, "Not bad, it's better than before.

"That's good. The effort was not wasted after all."

At this time, Long Fei walked in from outside and walked between the two of them. He held Long Han with one hand and Mo Chi with the other as he sized up the two people with a smile and asked, "What are you talking about? So engrossed in the conversation, do you want to share it? "

"Big brother, good morning." Long Han gave him a polite smile. "We were talking about the studio just now."

"Oh, how's the studio? It should be good, right? " Long Han went around to sit by Mo Chi's side, his arm wrapped around her waist. A few evil places seeped out of his smile. It was obvious that he was doing it on purpose. Mo Chi could feel his ill intent, so he secretly exerted his strength to try to break away from his hand.

But Long Fei's hand was like a steel ring, and no matter how hard she tried, she didn't let go.

Long Han purposely ignored their intimacy. With a smile still on his face, he said, "Not bad."

"Come, come, come. Let's try out the poached egg I fried. It's gold in color!" Madam Long carried a plate of egg out from the kitchen and placed it on the table. She then scooped a bowl of rice porridge for each of them and said with a smile, "Everyone come back early today, come back and touch the plates. Long Fei, remember to call He Rou over.

"Mom, I have something on tonight. Why don't you get Mrs. Zhang and the others to come over?" Mo Chi was the first to voice his opposition.

Madame Long said, "That won't do. Mrs. Zhang and the others are extremely lucky. I will definitely lose money with them. Only by fighting with you all can I win some back. "It's a deal then. You and Long Fei will still be staying here tonight."

Long Han also said, "Mom, you guys can just call me. Why do you want me to come back earlier? I still have things to do in my studio. "

"That lousy studio of yours should be closed as early as possible. There's still matters to attend to. If you don't help manage a good company, you don't have to work all day long." When she spoke of this, Madame Long's belly was filled with rage. The Long family's business was so big that he didn't want it. He insisted on setting up his own studio.

Long Han couldn't be bothered to explain the matter to her anymore. He focused on eating breakfast and said, "Besides, if you're not at home, how could He Rou be willing to come? "You're so old and yet you don't know how to be considerate at all."

When she came out, she was holding a bowl of soup. She placed the bowl in front of Mo Chi and said with a smile, "Mo Chi, this is the tonic Mother made for you. Take good care of your body so that you can become pregnant with your child."

Mo Chi's face heated up and he quickly gave Long Fei a glance. Long Fei smiled at her and said, "Mother, drink up your good intentions."

Mo Chi was at a loss for words. He wanted to tell Madam Long that he didn't want to have a baby so early on, but when he saw the serious look in Lady Long's eyes, he didn't dare to speak up. She lowered her head, but she could still feel Long Han's burning gaze on her. He must be very angry, very sad, very disappointed …

Just like back then when she decided to marry Long Fei, he was so sad that every night he would be drunk. He was so angry that he would cry and yell in front of her without any image. Two years had passed, and he still loved her, she could feel it.

Mo Chi lowered his head and finished the soup in one breath. When he looked up, Long Han was already gone. After drinking a big bowl of soup, her stomach was swollen and uncomfortable. She endured the discomfort and got up, "Mom, I'm full. You guys take your time to eat."

He turned and walked out of the restaurant. Behind her, Madam Long looked at her back and muttered, "You're not going upstairs to puke, are you?"

"Mom, can you make me feel comfortable by making me drink such a big bowl of soup so early in the morning?" Long Fei chuckled.

"That's the soup I made all morning." Madam Long scooped a bowl of congee for herself and grumbled, "It's really because they don't understand each other's hearts. They left their seats almost without even moving their breakfast. Long Han is the same."

"Probably not."

Even if you can't eat, you still have to. Such a big man can't even eat a bowl of porridge. Do you think he's a man?" Madam Long cast him a sidelong glance. "And Mo Chi, let me tell you, I don't like this wife of mine at all. She's as thin as a bamboo stick, no wonder I can't bear her.

"Mom, if you keep talking, I won't be able to eat anymore." Long Fei made to get up, but Madam Long quickly pushed him back into his chair. "That's enough, I won't say it, okay? You only know that you have protected her and that you have pampered her to the skies. "

"She's my wife. Are you willing to spoil other women?" Long Fei finished the last mouthful of congee in his bowl and stood up. "Mom, I'm really full. You take your time to eat. When we get back tonight, you play cards."

"My eldest son knows how to love his mother." Madam Long praised his back as he left. Long Fei sneered and quickened his steps, heading to the bedroom on the second floor.

Long Fei returned to the bedroom and indeed saw Mo Chi puking with the toilet bowl. He stood at the door of the washroom and looked at her indifferently, "What I gave you isn't poison, is there a need to be like this?"

Mo Chi painfully propped himself up from the toilet and wiped his mouth with a towel. "You know I don't like soup in the morning."

"Then go down and have breakfast. You can't have an empty stomach."

"I don't want to eat it."

Long Fei looked at her with a cold smile, "Do you not want to eat it, or do you not want to meet your old flame?"

Mo Chi raised his head, staring at him for a few seconds, and said with a voice as cold as his: "Long Fei, do you think that this is very gentlemanly of you? When you first married me, you should have known that I couldn't forget him. Since I couldn't, I could only avoid him. Are we going to play along with you in front of him? To embarrass him and make him suffer? "

"Do you care so much about whether he is miserable or not? are you so concerned that you won't even eat breakfast? "

"I don't want to discuss this with you. I don't know why you are so hostile towards Long Han either. I just hope that you won't use me to retaliate against him." After all, I don't owe you anything, I'm innocent. " With that, Mo Chi turned and walked out of the door.

"What do you mean?" Long Fei took a few steps forward and grabbed her arm, pulling her back.

Mo Chi gritted his teeth, and looked at him hatefully: "Do you still need to ask me what's the meaning of this? Didn't you marry me to take revenge on Long Han? You must be very happy in your heart to be able to display a victorious attitude in front of him. "

"So what if I am? I just like to see him in pain and sorrow. He's been happy for too long. It's just a small price and he can't take it anymore? "

Mo Chi sneered, and twisted his arm to struggle free of his palm, "Long Fei, you don't understand the feeling of loss at all, the price you made him pay is not small at all. Even if there is more hatred, you should still be able to vent it out. "

She didn't know what kind of hatred existed between Long Fei and Long Han. She only knew that Long Han was a weakling in front of him.

"Who says I don't understand the feeling of loss? I knew it before he did. " Long Fei breathed in bitterly, and his expression gradually turned serious: "Mo Chi, I didn't marry you for nothing, even if there wasn't love, you still have the duty to be a good wife."

"Why haven't I done my job? Did I steal someone? Or did I not let you touch it at night and did not serve you well during the day? " Mo Chi took a bitter breath, "Back then, you cured my father and even exempted him from medical fees. I am very grateful to you, so I am trying my best to do my best. But no one is perfect. I only hope that you do not ask too much of me."

"I'm not asking you for anything. I just want you to forget that person."

"I'll try to forget it and keep trying. I'm leaving." Mo Chi left. This time, Long Fei did not hold her back. Instead, he angrily punched the wall. A bone-piercing pain assaulted him, but he did not care.

She always said that she was trying to forget, but she always said that she would never forget. This was what he felt most defeated about, and also what he was most angry about.

She didn't need to work today, but Mo Chi still left her home. She could feel that Madam Long didn't really like her, and in order to not be alone with her, she would rather go out shopping.

The other place she had another home to go to was the He family, which was also her wife's home. Long Fei was adopted by the He family at a very young age. Until recently, when the Long family wanted to return their son, they had no choice but to return him.

Long Fei's life was complicated, but he never brought it up with Mo Chi, so Mo Chi didn't ask much. She felt that all of this had nothing to do with her, so she didn't know the specifics.

Mo Chi asked his good friend Cheng Yu to come out for a stroll. The two of them had nothing to buy, so after strolling around for a bit, they decided to find a coffee shop to soak in. Mo Chi looked at the magazine on the table, chewing on the straw, ignoring Cheng Yu's suspicious gaze.

Cheng Yu looked at her for a while, then asked doubtfully, "You look like you have something on your mind, and you're arguing again?"

"When did you not tell me I was worried?" Mo Chi raised his eyebrows and cast a glance at her.

"Tell me, what's the matter today?" Cheng Yu put on a look as if he was willing to be a spectator.

Mo Chi didn't bother hiding his feelings from this friend of his. He helplessly sighed and said, "Long Han's back. Long Fei's gone crazy over there again."

"Did he misunderstand the two of you again?"

"Yeah, it's really weird to say that we're all looking at each other like that." Mochi took a glowering sip of his milk tea.

"If you don't have it, he won't try to catch you." Cheng Yu laughed, and Mo Chi immediately glared at him, "Cheng Yu, what do you mean by that? Now, even you think that I'm that kind of person, right? "

"What kind of person?" What kind of person are you? It's a hard fact that you like the White Han. Under these circumstances, if you look at him more, there will be affection in your eyes. Since Long Fei is your husband, it's normal for him to be sensitive. "

"Cheng Yu, why do you always like to speak up for him? Is it my friend or his? " Mo Chi was discontented. She had specially found a friend to chat with and complain, but the result had turned out to be this way.

Cheng Yu rolled his eyes, and said sincerely: "I just think that Long Fei is already a good man, you should grasp him well, don't wait to piss him off, he will ignore you and switch to another woman."

"That's better, I don't care." Mo Chi grunted disapprovingly.

Cheng Yu angrily glared at her and then exhaled. "Then tell me, what is Long Han that is so attractive to you? Just which part of him is better than Long Fei, causing you to be so obsessed with her that you harm yourself and others. "

"He …" Mo Chi had never thought about this question properly before. She had always thought that there was no reason for love. She had loved Long Han from gratitude to love for four whole years. Was there still a need to explain why she loved him?

When she was still in elementary school, she went to a hotel to look for her mother, who worked as a cleaner, to get her keys. When she was still in primary school, she went to a hotel to look for her mother, who worked as a cleaner, to get her keys. The contents of the letter were laughable. To put it harshly, it was asking for money. What she didn't expect was that at the start of school, Long Han had indeed sent her tuition fees and a bunch of school supplies.

Long Han supported her tuition from the fourth grade all the way until she graduated from university. Her college entrance examination results weren't ideal and Long Han even took the initiative to choose a high price school for her, which was also the same school as his.

In her freshman year, she finally met her benefactor and expressed her gratitude to him. It was obvious that Long Han was very interested in her. Ignoring the peculiar gazes of his classmates as they pursued the ordinary her, the two of them logically became a pair.

Long Han was a very talented person, especially in painting and photography. Mo Chi had always loved to paint since he was young, so when the two of them were together, it was natural for them to become a pair. At first, Mo Chi was very concerned about his classmates discussing how he overestimated himself behind his back and wanted to fly up the branch and become a phoenix. But after a long time, under Long Han's consolation and understanding, she slowly adapted to this kind of life. Faced with the cold words of either envy or envy from her classmates, she became at ease.

Cheng Yu asked her what exactly she loved about Long Han. Perhaps it was because he loved her very much and had no personality to put on airs.

"It's simple. He loves me and respects me, so I love her." In the end, she gave Cheng Yu such an answer.

"Love you? I feel that Long Fei also loves you, but why can't I see that you love him? " Cheng Yu looked at her and asked.

"My heart is already with Long Han. I can't take it back." Mo Chi let out a faint sigh, looked up at her and said, "Cheng Yu, can we stop here? I really don't want to talk about them anymore. You haven't experienced the life I've been through. You don't understand. "

"I don't understand. I think you are too stubborn, because Long Han helped you before, so you are determined to help him. But Mo Chi, feelings are not meant to repay gratitude. If I didn't say anything to you in the past, it would be different now, you are already married to someone else."

"I understand." Mo Chi used a straw to stir the milk tea in his cup. She still wanted to say that Cheng Yu didn't stand on her own side and didn't understand her feelings for Long Han. But in order to put an end to the subject as quickly as possible, she had to say nothing.

In the afternoon, Mo Chi and Cheng Yu went to see a movie. After three o'clock, they recalled that Madam Long had repeatedly told them that they had to go back and play cards with her as soon as possible.

In reality, she didn't want to play cards at all, and she didn't have the patience or the leisure to compete with others. But the madame had spoken, so it wasn't too good if she didn't return.

When Mo Chi got back to the Long Family, as well as into the house, she heard the sound of mahjong rolling around. She walked in and saw that everyone had already started their stage. He Rou, Long Fei, Madam Long, and Long Yue were happily playing cards.

Seeing Mo Chi walk in, Madam Long smiled and beckoned at him, "Mo Chi, you're back. Quickly come and take Long Fei's seat, we women are about to be bullied to death by him."

With a smile, Mo Chi walked over. Long Fei stretched out his arm and wrapped it around her waist. With a slight tug, Mo Chi sat on his lap. Long Fei placed his chin on her shoulder, one hand around her waist, the other opening the money box to let her see the money inside. He smiled: "Baby, look how much I helped you win. It's enough for you to slowly lose the whole night."

Mo Chi looked at the box full of money and uneasily wriggled his body to get down from his lap. However, Long Fei didn't let her go. He whispered into her ear, "I'll teach you how to fight, so that you won't be tricked miserably by them."

"Ai, big brother, we finally managed to get you off the stage. You can't do this!" The Dragon Feast protested.

"That's right, we women play cards. What are you doing here? Quickly go upstairs and watch TV." He Rou spat at him.

He Rou was Long Fei's nominal younger sister, the biological daughter of the two He elders who adopted Long Fei. The two of them grew up together. After Long Fei was asked to come back to the Long family, her relationship with the Long family became very close. The two families were like a fertile river that didn't flow to a foreign land, bringing her and Long Han together. Currently, they were having a difficult time loving each other.

Long Fei did not leave, but smiled and helped Mo Chi pick up a card: "I'm worried about giving you the Madam to ravage."

At this time, Long Han also came back. When he saw how lively the room was and was about to open his mouth to greet them, He Rou waved at him and said, "Long Han, come over quickly and help me look at my cards. I'm about to be bullied until I run out of money."

Long Han immediately saw Mo Chi, who was sitting in Long Fei's embrace. His heart slightly skipped a beat, but his face showed a nonchalant expression. As he walked over, he took out a stack of cash from his wallet and handed it over to He Rou.

He Rou shook her head. "I'm not asking for money. I just want you to help me win it back. Look, big brother is helping sister-in-law win the money."

"I don't want the cash!" Long Han quickly copied away the cash in his hand and put it into the money box.

Long Han stood behind He Rou and felt somewhat uncomfortable. He Rou was just like her name. She was a gentle and demure girl. Actually, she hoped that Long Han could be like Long Fei and hug her as soon as Mo Chi came back, but Long Han never did that. In her heart, she kept thinking, Long Fei and Ji Hao were a completely different pair of people. Completely different personalities!

"Baby, it's your turn to feel the cards." Long Fei pinched Mo Chi's waist with his fingers, but there was a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Mo Chi gasped, thinking that his waist was definitely going to be twisted black. She didn't blame him. Instead, she blamed herself for being so weak in self-control. When she saw Long Han's figure, her mind went into a mess and she kept forgetting to feel for her cards. Long Fei must have felt her absent-mindedness, which was why he was secretly angry. This was why he had tried to 'viciously' her.

"Long Han, quickly help me see which one we're fighting." He Rou turned her head to look at Long Han and urged him.

Long Han glanced at the cards in her hand and helped her play one. Madam Long immediately protested loudly, "Hey, how can you two do this? You can't call for reinforcements! Long Fei, Long Han, scram! No matter what you want to do, go get it! "

Long Han couldn't wait for Lady Long to kick him out. Now that Lady Long had chased her away, he immediately said with a smile, "Then you guys can slowly play. I'll go to the living room to watch TV." With that, he turned and walked into the living room.

Mo Chi pushed Long Fei's arm and whispered, "Did you hear that? You go over there and watch TV too. "

"Alright, I'll go up and take a bath first." Long Fei finally let go of her and lifted her off his lap, placing her on a chair. Then he said, "You sure are fun. Don't lose too badly." With that, he left the card table.

Long Fei took a shower and sat alone on the bed watching TV. He didn't come back to his room until it was almost dark and the four women were still battling at the card table. Long Han and Master Long were watching television in the living room. He walked over and smiled to everyone. "Everyone, it's almost dark. Your stomachs are starving. When can we start eating?"

"I'm hungry too." I can see she's getting impatient.

"Your mom is a gambler, she won't get hungry even if she has the chance to gamble. No one can afford to waste time with her." Old Master Long interjected.

"Old man, it's fine if you don't want to play cards with me, but don't stay here and wait for the world to become chaotic." Madam Long pushed the card in her hand forward. "Stop it, give me the money, oh …" Our luck is quite good tonight, let's finish our meal before we continue fighting. "

"Mom, you old gambler, since when were your luck so bad?" The dragon feast laughed.

As usual, Madam Long prepared a bowl of soup for Mo Chi. Looking at the soup, she joked, "Mom, aren't you being too biased? "Only eldest sister-in-law has the soup to nourish it."

"When you get married, Mom will cook a bowl for you every day so that you can bear it earlier." Madam Long said. The servant smiled and said, "Young lady, the chicken soup today is not bad either. It's a farm's chicken. It's sweet and refreshing."

"Is that so? Then I want to try." The dragon feast picked up a bowl and scooped up a spoonful of chicken soup.

Mo Chi looked at the golden bowl of chicken soup, then looked at the bird's nest in front of him. Actually, she would rather drink the chicken soup. Although she didn't express her desire, Long Han could still feel her thoughts. He held onto his chopsticks and hesitated for a moment before he smiled and said, "Chicken soup is also very nutritious. Eldest Sister-in-law should drink more chicken soup. Swallow nest, you can keep it for the evening."

As he said this, he picked up an empty bowl and scooped a bowl of chicken soup in front of Mo Chi. Mo Chi stared at him in shock. Long Han looked at her and caught the anger on Long Fei's face out of the corner of his eyes. He suddenly felt that what he did was a bit too impulsive. He picked up another empty bowl and placed it in front of He Rou.

"Thank you." He Rou scooped a spoonful and nodded. "Oh, it's very delicious."

"Drink as much as you like." With a smile, Lady Long added some more to her bowl. After saying that, she paused for a while before changing her tone and asked, "That's right, Long Han and He Rou, when will you get married?" "How come you still haven't made up your mind?"

He Rou turned her head to glance at Long Han before lowering her eyes. She had never had the right to marry. Long Han never brought up the matter of marriage, so of course she couldn't bring it up, even though she really wanted to.

"Mom, let's talk about it later. We can't rush such things." After saying that, Long Han lowered his head to eat. On the other hand, Madame Long rebuked him with dissatisfaction. "There's always someone who's not in a hurry. Even if you didn't see me, I'd still have been worried to death. You're saying that sooner or later, so what's the difference? "If it was finished earlier, I would have had more partners to set up a card table. Don't you think so, He Rou?"

He Rou looked at Long Han once again and said with a smile, "Mom, I also think that marriage cannot be rushed. Let's wait a little longer."

Even she had spoken in such a manner, leaving Madam Long speechless. She could only eat with her head lowered.
