Chapter 23: Unexpected Interlude

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Guest? Mo Chi really didn’t understand why she always treated him as an outsider after living together for so long. She was always polite to all the uncles and aunties in the family and was neither too far nor too close to him.

“Qin Ran, this is your home.” Mo Chi rarely called her by her full name. “You must stay here forever.”

Today was the 17th day of the lunar calendar. The moon was large and round as it hung in the sky, emitting a gentle yet bright light. Through the light, Qin Ran could clearly see the determination in Mo Chi’s eyes.

“I know that we registered our marriage to make the child legitimate. You didn’t want him to be an illegitimate child, so it’s the same for me. So after I give birth, I won’t have any complaints about you even if we divorce.” Qin Ran felt that it was already very good that she’d done this. She understood Mo Chi’s difficulties, and she wasn’t the sort of person to pester endlessly.

“I feel that we should have a good talk.” In the past, he always felt that Qin Ran was young and was naturally a little slow when it came to relationships. But now, it seemed that she wasn’t slow at all. She was completely ignorant. “Although we only got to know each other because of the baby. But we’re married, so we have to spend the rest of our lives together. Why do you always feel that this is making things difficult for me? Or why do you always feel that we’re only registering our marriage for superficial purposes?”

Wasn’t that the case? Qin Ran was getting more and more confused. He was the one who said that he didn’t want his child to become an illegitimate child and register their marriage, and he was also the one who said that he didn’t want to put on an act.

“I don’t quite understand you. I really… don’t quite understand you.” Qin Ran was stunned for a long time before she managed to squeeze out this sentence.

In the past, in the National Security Bureau, all the coaches praised her for her high IQ and intelligence. She was really smart. No matter what she learned, she would be able to understand it immediately. She could also see through the hypocrisy of Mr. and Mrs. Qin in time, but now, she could not see through Mo Chi in front of her. Did this involve her blind spot?

“You…” It really wasn’t that Mo Chi was unwilling to say more because of his dignity. It was just that he had very little emotional life in the past thirty years. He just wanted the lass to have him in her heart and think about him, but how could he say such words?

“Did your work not go well today?” Ever since she entered the Mo Family, Mo Chi had been very good to her. His tone was gentle and he was always considerate. She really did not know why he was so angry. Could it be that he was troubled by work and did not like anything?

“Alright, we’re almost done. Let’s go back to sleep.” Mo Chi felt like he was suffering in silence.

“Okay.” Perhaps it was because his work was not smooth sailing. If she met a difficult customer in the bookstore, she would also feel frustrated. Qin Ran calmed herself down. She suddenly felt that she was quite understanding.

Because Mo Chi said that he still had some work to do, Qin Ran returned to the bedroom to take a shower.

She had just finished showering and had yet to dry her hair when her phone rang. After two rings, Qin Ran had no choice but to answer the call with a towel draped over her shoulders.

“Sister Xi, help me.”

Lu Xi was the substitute name of Qin Ran in the Security Bureau. Only her colleagues who had gone on missions together and fought alongside her before knew about it. At this moment, Ah Li’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Why did you make this call?” As the ace agents, they could only contact each other through special websites to avoid leaving any traces.

“I had no choice but to call you.” That was true. Knowing she wanted to return to her peaceful routine, Ah Li wouldn’t have bothered to call her. She rarely even sent her messages on the website.

“What happened?”

“Do you have a computer with you?”

“I do.”

“That’s great. Hurry up and log into 189 Kill Internet. Help me remove all the webpages and information that I’ve just come into contact with. I feel like there are hackers tracking me, and they might discover the websites that we’ve used to communicate.”

When Qin Ran heard this, she understood the severity of the matter. If someone discovered their chat website, even if their personal information wouldn’t be exposed, the location of the computer used to log in would also be discovered. The consequences would be unimaginable.

“I’ve logged in.” There happened to be a computer in the master bedroom. As Qin Ran’s brain worked rapidly, her fingers moved back and forth on the keyboard.

“Alright, I logged in five minutes ago. The last four letters on the account are qrlo. Sister Xi, be quick!” Ah Li’s voice was trembling from nervousness.
