Mo Lingqiu adopted Jiang Chenming down from the second flooring, carrying two bins of items in his arms, fastidiously taking every step, afraid that he would possibly do one thing fallacious and displease Jiang Chenming’s mother and father.
“Mother, Dad. That is Mo Lingqiu.” Jiang Chenming was afraid that the room stuffed with Alpha pheromones would have an effect on Mo Lingqiu—and that he can be nervous—so he pulled him in somewhat nearer.
Mo Lingqiu bowed and solemnly greeted, “Uncle and Aunt, good to fulfill you. I’m Mo Lingqiu.”
Chen Shan and Jiang Zhongzhen checked out one another, seeing satisfaction mirrored within the different’s eyes.
“Hi there. You’ve been taking such excellent care of our son.” Jiang Zhongzhen prolonged his hand.
Mo Lingqiu froze. He shifted the present into considered one of his arms and used the opposite to shake Jiang Zhongzhen’s hand earlier than passing the present over. “That is for the 2 of you. I hope you prefer it.”
“Aiyo, you’re too well mannered.” Chen Shan took it with a smile.
“As I needs to be.” Mo Lingqiu’s expression wasn’t displaying a lot, however he was really actually nervous in his coronary heart.
Jiang Chenming as soon as once more held him round his shoulders. “Mother and Dad, Instructor Mo will keep right here tonight.”
“Positive. Ought to I tidy up a visitor room or will you be staying in a single room collectively?” Chen Shan handed her issues to the housekeeper.
“It’s high-quality if we share the identical room.” Jiang Chenming flashed Mo Lingqiu a reassuring smile.
“Okay.” There was nothing for Chen Chan to disagree with; they had been in a correct relationship, and the marking had already occurred. If issues went nicely, Mo Lingqiu would enter their household sooner or later. There was nothing fallacious with them sharing the identical room.
“Is dinner prepared? We’ll eat collectively if it’s prepared.” Chen Shan appeared on the housekeeper.
The housekeeper half bowed. “Madam, Younger Grasp mentioned he needed to be the one to prepare dinner tonight, so dinner shouldn’t be but prepared.”
“You wish to prepare dinner?” Chen Shan was shocked.
“Sure. It simply so occurs that you’re all right here tonight, Mother and Dad.” Jiang Chenming smiled. “Instructor Mo, come assist me put together dinner.”
Mo Lingqiu froze earlier than shortly responding, “Okay.”
With that, Jiang Chenming took Mo Lingqiu into the kitchen, leaving Chen Shan and the others in the lounge to take care of their very own issues.
“Is it okay for me to return in like this?” Mo Lingqiu stole a look at the lounge, nonetheless somewhat frightened.
“You’re high-quality. You’ll positively be uncomfortable when you sit on the market alone. If my mother and father wish to discuss to you, let’s do it later on the dinner desk.” Jiang Chenming was unwell comfortable letting Mo Lingqiu take care of his household on the market alone.
“En.” Mo Lingqiu nodded and at last helped him prepare dinner.
Their actions had been comparatively fast and the dishes had even already been taken care of, so all of the cooking tools was principally prepared for use. Quickly, the initially empty desk was stuffed with scrumptious trying dishes.
Jiang Chenming pointed to a few of them and mentioned, “These are the dishes made by Instructor Mo. You guys give it a style. In the event that they’re good, avoid wasting for me.”
Chen Shan gave him a slanted look. “Are you so afraid that I’ll eat all of it?”
“Sure.” Jiang Chenming was actually trustworthy.
Chen Shan helplessly shook her head. After sitting down, she raised her chopsticks and tasted Mo Lingqiu’s dish. “Scrumptious!”
Jiang Zhongzhen didn’t discuss lots, however he nonetheless requested, “It’s scrumptious?”
“Sure. Strive it.”
Jiang Zhongzhen picked up a portion of it together with his chopsticks. It actually didn’t style that unhealthy. “Properly, it’s certainly good.”
“I’m glad that you just prefer it.” Mo Lingqiu adopted Jiang Chenming and sat down.
“Is Instructor Mo normally busy with work?” Chen Shan requested.
“You may name me Mo Lingqiu. Often work is okay. I’m not very busy.” Mo Lingqiu had all the time been relatively restrained in entrance of his elders, so he didn’t eat a lot.
Jiang Chenming gave him some meals, and didn’t interrupt. He sat subsequent to him, listening to them discuss.
“How did you and Chenming meet?”
“…It was a minor accident.” Mo Lingqiu couldn’t say that he had gone into warmth once they had met the primary time—that was too embarrassing.
“I met him throughout an evening jog,” Jiang Chenming mentioned, serving to him reply. “Mother, don’t you recognize? The factor about my and Instructor Mo’s pheromone compatibility?”
“Sure, your brother informed us about it.” Chen Shan nodded. “We really don’t care that a lot about pheromone compatibility. You see, Zhong Zhen and I are each Alphas.”
“Sure.” Mo Lingqiu held his chopsticks and didn’t dare to maneuver.
“A very powerful factor is to love one another, to be appropriate for one another. However, in fact, excessive pheromone compatibility is unquestionably factor.” Chen Shan smiled. “Don’t be too nervous; we’re not these stereotypical mother and father.”
“En.” Mo Lingqiu nonetheless didn’t transfer his chopsticks.
“Lingqiu eat extra.” Jiang Zhongzhen gave Mo Lingqiu a bit of rooster foot.
“Thanks, Uncle.” Mo Lingqiu was flattered.
“Lingqiu, what do your mother and father do?”
Mo Lingqiu lastly realised that Chen Shan was answerable for the interrogation, with Jiang Zhongzhen and Jiang Junshen on the aspect, most likely watching his demeanor and perspective.
“My mother and father work on the Analysis Institute.”
“Analysis Institute?”
“Sure, the Nationwide Pheromone Analysis Institute.”
“That’s spectacular.” A hint of shock flashed throughout Chen Shan’s face. “No marvel they may carry up such a sensible child such as you.”
“…Thanks for the praise, Auntie,” Mo Lingqiu sensibly mentioned.
“Instructor Mo, you’re older than our Chenming, proper?”
“En, 4 years older.”
“It’s good that you just’re older; you possibly can solely management him when you’re older. My son will be cussed generally. We are able to’t management him,” Jiang Zhonzhen mentioned, making a uncommon comment.
Jiang Chenming didn’t know whether or not to snicker or to cry. “What a part of me is uncontrollable?”
“All points.” Chen Shan mentioned, additionally giving her personal remark.
Jiang Chenming, who thought he had all the time been well-behaved and obedient, might solely concede. “Advantageous, high-quality, no matter you two say is true. So, do you wish to praise my cooking?”
Chen Shan had solely been consuming Mo Lingqiu’s cooking, and had by no means tasted Jiang Chenming’s. She picked up a bit of candy and bitter pork and tasted it. “Not unhealthy. Your cooking abilities have improved.”
“Haah. As anticipated, when your daughter-in-law comes into our household, I’m not your son anymore.” Jiang Chenming placed on a heartbroken expression, earlier than shortly trying completely satisfied within the subsequent second. “However Instructor Mo is my accomplice, and, sooner or later, irrespective of how good Instructor Mo’s cooking is, I’m the one one who can eat it day-after-day.”
Chen Shan raised her eyebrows. “What?”
Mo Lingqiu elbowed Jiang Chenming. “No, there will probably be extra possibilities to prepare dinner for Auntie and Uncle sooner or later.”
“Have a look at Instructor Mo, then take a look at your self.”
Whereas the 4 of them had been chatting fairly full of life, Jiang Junshen had been sitting there with out talking.
When Mo Lingqiu seen, he was somewhat frightened that Jiang Junshen hadn’t joined in as a result of he may not really like him, however, since he solely got here at the moment to point out his face, he didn’t have the precise to ask something.
Jiang Chenming seen his gaze, moved nearer to his ear, and whispered, “My brother is rather like that. Let him be.”
Mo Lingqiu lifted his head. “It’s alright?”
“It’s nothing. His character is even colder than yours,” Jiang Chenming mentioned. Nonetheless, he knew that the 2 of them had been fully completely different when it got here right down to it. Mo Lingqiu was the chilly outdoors, however heat inside kind. Jiang Junshen, then again, was chilly each inside and outside; not solely was he boring, however he was additionally very cussed.
Mo Lingqiu didn’t ask about Jiang Junshen anymore. He ate one thing to stop himself from getting hungry, and shortly the dinner was over.
Jiang Chenming and Mo Lingqiu cleaned up the desk collectively. After they went into the kitchen they chatted between themselves, heads shut.
“You’re nonetheless okay, proper? My mother and father aren’t as scary as you thought?” Jiang Chenming requested.
“Yeah.” After a day, though Mo Lingqiu was nonetheless uncomfortable, the panic he felt originally had disappeared.
“They’re fairly good to speak to, however since they’re extra career-oriented, they normally management me very strictly on the subject of enterprise,” Jiang Chenming defined. “I by no means informed you about my household earlier than as a result of I used to be afraid that you’d be anxious.”
“I’m nonetheless okay.”
“So it proves that my resolution was nonetheless proper.” Jiang Chenming winked at him. “About my brother…”
The kitchen door was all of a sudden pushed open and Jiang Chenming’s voice got here to an abrupt halt. Jiang Junshen walked straight as much as the espresso machine and poured lots of espresso beans into it.
Jiang Chenming frowned. “Ge, don’t all the time drink espresso in the midst of the evening.”
“I nonetheless have issues to do.” Jiang Junshen was used to working time beyond regulation. Even when he wasn’t on the firm, he would nonetheless work time beyond regulation at residence. He would make espresso at midnight and keep up till three or 4 o’clock. Typically he would look forward to two or three days consecutively—he was a very laborious employee.
“Why not simply assign them to your subordinates?” Jiang Chenming was actually baffled. If this went on, to not even point out the corporate, his brother would collapse.
“No. The corporate has been a bit chaotic just lately.” Jiang Junshen rubbed his forehead, clearly recalling a troubling matter.
Mo Lingqiu glanced at Jiang Chenming, contemplating whether or not to depart the room or not. In spite of everything, the 2 brothers had been speaking concerning the firm’s issues.
Jiang Chenming shot him a reassuring look and continued speaking to Jiang Junshen. “It’s okay to inform me when you need assistance. In the event you don’t wish to inform our mother and father about it then that’s okay, too.”
“En.” Jiang Junshen nodded, however he clearly didn’t intend to inform anybody.
Jiang Junshen grew up with such a uninteresting and paranoid character. Little question his tremendous excessive IQ had led to his avoidant character, and he hardly appreciated to speak too deeply with different folks, even together with his family.
Jiang Chenming was silent, realizing that he couldn’t persuade him. Lastly, he mentioned, “Ge, deal with your self.”
“En,” Jiang Junshen mentioned earlier than falling into silence. Not lengthy after, he walked out, espresso in hand.
Mo Lingqiu sensed that Jiang Chenming was a bit upset and tried to consolation him. “Your brother appears to have listened.”
“I do know.” Jiang Chenming sighed. “In my view, his firm isn’t that steady. As a result of the early improvement went too quick, there are lots of vulnerabilities. It’s not his personal drawback, it’s simply that some folks underneath him have unhealthy intentions.”
“It’s regular. Conditions like that exist in each firm,” Mo Lingqiu mentioned, “but when enterprise needs to face agency, it has to expertise survival of the fittest. As soon as it overcomes that, all the things will probably be high-quality.”
“That’s proper.” Jiang Chenming breathed a sigh of reduction. “Thankfully, Instructor Mo is right here to consolation me.”
Mo Lingqiu blushed. “…I’m telling the reality.”
“Hmm.” Jiang Chenming smiled and nodded. He put the clear empty plates in his arms into the cupboard after which wrapped his arms round Mo Lingqiu’s shoulders, exchanging a kiss with him. “Instructor Mo, sooner or later I’ll be right down to earth and I gained’t allow you to fear.”
Mo Lingqiu pursed his lips. A second later, he requested, “Are you implying one thing about your brother?”
Jiang Chenming didn’t know if he ought to snicker or cry. “Under no circumstances. I’m flirting with you.”
“…En.” Mo Lingqiu turned his head away.
“As for my brother, he’s underneath an excessive amount of strain. I’ll attempt to assist him share the burden in the interim.”
“How outdated is your brother?”
“Two years older than you. Thirty-one.”
“Nonetheless not married?”
“No, he doesn’t appear very keen on anybody. However I’ve heard from people who find themselves fairly aware of him that he appeared to have appreciated somebody when he was finding out. It most likely didn’t work out. In any other case, he wouldn’t be like this.”
Mo Lingqiu hummed for some time, not talking.
“Instructor Mo, what are you pondering? You’re not allowed to suppose my brother is as much as par, okay?” Jiang Chenming all of a sudden sensed a disaster.
“No.” Mo Lingqiu shortly shook his head. “It simply seems like he can be the kind Fan Nian likes, with that face.”
