Substitute Bride’s Husband Is An Invisible Rich Man Novel - Chapter 85

Chapter 85: Liar and Lie

Luo Tao did not answer Mo Cheng’s question. Instead, he asked, “How did you know that I would fall for it?”

Mo Cheng did not want to admit it at first, but Luo Tao’s gaze was too sharp. He could only reluctantly say, “I thought that you liked spicy dishes and that you would eat the fried eggs with green peppers first.”

These words made Luo Tao chuckle. “Even your sister hasn’t noticed.”

“Ah?” Mo Cheng was surprised.

Luo Tao recalled that when he was young, he was told by his family not to show anything that he particularly liked or disliked. Because he was still young at that time, he could not completely hide his emotions, it was not until he got food poisoning that he learned his lesson.

“How did you realize?” Luo Tao asked.

Mo Cheng scratched his head and said embarrassedly, “It was when you ate a lot of the boiled fish. Only then did I feel that you might like to eat spicy dishes.”

“Just by relying on this?”

“Yes, when you eat other things, the frequency of you picking up each dish is basically the same.”

Luo Tao slightly narrowed his eyes. He had a new understanding of Mo Cheng’s observation ability.

“Indeed, I’m not Luo Tao, but I’m your brother-in-law.”

Mo Cheng was stunned for a second at Luo Tao’s answer. Then, he understood that he was answering the previous question.

After a long silence, Mo Cheng spoke again, “I don’t know your identity and intention, but please don’t hurt my sister.”

Luo Tao replied without hesitation, “Okay.”

From the things that Luo Tao had given both Mo Cheng and his sister, Mo Cheng could roughly guess that Luo Tao’s real identity was either rich or noble.

It seemed unlikely that Luo Tao was here for Mo Yan on purpose.

Although the two of them were close, it was very likely that they hadn’t gone too far yet. This made Mo Cheng feel much more at ease.

“Brother-in-law, I have something to ask you.”

Luo Tao changed into his usual calm expression. He felt that Mo Cheng was trying to communicate with him as the brother of his wife.

“Tell me.”

“If one day you reveal your true identity, will you abandon my sister?” As Mo Cheng spoke, he pushed the watch that Luo Tao gave him back.

Luo Tao glanced at the box and raised his head to look at Mo Cheng.

Although he had some thoughts of bringing Mo Yan back to the Huo family, he was not sure yet, so he could not give Mo Cheng an answer.

Seeing that Luo Tao still did not answer, Mo Cheng did not force him, he continued, “Brother-in-law, I can see that my sister likes you very much. I hope that you won’t make her sad. If you two are in a normal relationship, then I will give you my blessing. However, a relationship built on liars and lies will not last long.”

Mo Cheng paused and finished his sentence, “A hundred lies are needed to cover the first lie, and they will all be exposed one day. Actually, I hope that you can become my real brother-in-law.”

Mo Cheng was really vulnerable and honest.

Luo Tao did not know when Mo Cheng had noticed that he and Mo Yan were hiding things from each other. He also did not know how Mo Cheng had discovered that he and Mo Yan had not gone too far yet, and he had vaguely reminded him not to get too close to Mo Yan when his identity was still hidden.

‘Such a sharp little brat.’ Luo Tao thought to himself.

“Kind man shouldn’t say falsehood, smart people should not lie.”

Although Luo Tao could not tell if hiding his identity was a white lie, this lie had allowed him to meet Mo Yan. No matter how things developed, this memory was still beautiful.

“Liar.” Mo Cheng muttered in a low voice.

Luo Tao did not take Mo Cheng’s words seriously. He did not need outsiders to tell him what to do with Mo Yan.

He threw the wristwatch to Mo Cheng again and said, “It’s up to you whether you want to wear it or not.” This meant that he would not accept the return of what he had given him.

The next day, Mo Cheng left the two’s house according to the decision he had made.

Before he left, Mo Cheng had repeatedly reminded Mo Yan. Hearing this, Luo Tao wanted to shut this kid’s mouth. If it wasn’t for the fact that the two of them had a tacit understanding that they wouldn’t mention what happened last night, Mo Cheng might have said that Luo Tao was an extremely dangerous person.

The two of them sent Mo Cheng to the school gate. As they watched the young man’s back leaving into the distance, Mo Yan was still very worried.

Even though Mo Cheng said that he would handle it himself, he never told Mo Yan what he wanted to do. He only told her to wait for the result.

Rubbing her temples, Mo Yan felt a slight headache. She wanted to meet those little bullies who bullied her little brother, but her busy work and Chen Ya’s ‘sniping’ made her unable to be in two places at once.

After sending Mo Cheng off, Mo Yan took a taxi to rush to the company.

For the sake of her little brother’s safety, Mo Yan could only make another request to Luo Tao. “Luo Tao, can you help me visit Mo Cheng more during this period of time? I’m still worried.”

Luo Tao chuckled and replied, “Okay.”

Although Mo Cheng took the watch, he did not wear it him. This made Luo Tao curious as to how Mo Cheng was going to deal with those who bullied him.
