“Hey, Big Sis! What the hell are you thinking? Why are you in a relationship with that Mo Xie? He is a bad person!” Shen Lu shouted as he followed Shen Qing into their house.
Hearing that, Shen Qing immediately turned to face her little brother and raised her eyebrows. “What do you mean by that? Do you know Mo Xie? Why do you say that he is a bad guy?”
“Tch!” Shen Lu gritted his teeth and thought; he then answered Shen Qing. “That Mo Xie already beat Yang Chen and Bei Qiang, and he also beat me like this!”
“Hmm?” Shen Qing frowned and observed her little brother’s swollen face. “If Mo Xie beat up the three of you, it means that you guys bullied him first, or else he wouldn’t have done anything to you.”
Hearing his big sister’s answer, Shen Lu was taken aback; he couldn’t believe she would side with Chen Li. “But-”
“Stop it!” Shen Qing interrupted her little brother with a shout. “If you continue to badmouth Mo Xie in front of me, then I will beat you up right now.”
Hearing that, Shen Lu immediately covered his mouth, and his body trembled slightly. He knew that Shen Qing was very gentle and not easily angered, but if she was irate, then she would not hesitate to carry out her words. Moreover, she was stronger than him, so he immediately swallowed his words.
“Why are you two quarreling?” Yang Li asked as she walked out of her room. “You guys are siblings, so you shouldn’t fight like this.”
Shen Lu immediately ran behind their mother and said to her. “Mom! You better tell Big Sis properly, she is Big Brother Qin’s lover, but she kissed Mo Xie instead.”
“Eh?” Yang Li was really shocked upon hearing that. Yet, her feelings turned strange, mainly because the effect of Chen Li’s technique. Soon, she took a deep breath and asked her daughter with some questions. “Is that true, Qing’er? Then what about your relationship with Qin Ming?” 𝙚𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙤𝙧𝒈
Shen Lu immediately hid his face behind their mother, especially since Shen Qing glared fiercely at him as if she wanted to swallow him alive.
Shan Qing directly answered her mother’s question. “I just kissed Mo Xie, and it’s not a big deal, right? Truthfully, I am attracted to him, but I haven’t decided anything about our relationship yet.”
“Huh?” Yang Li and Shen Lu were shocked by Shen Qing’s confession; they couldn’t believe she would openly confess her feelings for Chen Li to them.
Shen Qing then continued. “As for my relationship with Qin Ming, I’ve also thought about it, but I haven’t made any decisions about it either. Moreover, Mo Xie is much kinder and not selfish like him, and I feel comfortable being by his side.”
Their eyes widened, and their jaws dropped, mainly because they could see an infatuated expression on Shen Qing’s face. They were sure that she had genuinely fallen in love with Chen Li.
After saying that, Shen Qing immediately went to her room, took off her clothes, and rested on the bed.
Yang Li sighed softly and said to her son. “Lu’er, you shouldn’t meddle in your big sister’s affair.”
“Eh?” Shen Lu was surprised to hear that. “Mom! Why do you say that? We should stop my big sis from having a relationship with that Mo Xie, for Qin Ming is much better than him, and our family will be even better if she becomes the Qin family’s daughter-in-law.”
Yang Li also knows that, especially since she doesn’t know Chen Li, so she still thinks Qin Ming is much better than him. However, judging from her daughter’s expression, she also realized that Shen Qing’s feelings had changed. “Just listen to my words, and don’t meddle in her affair.”
After saying that, Yang Li immediately went to her daughter’s room, wanting to talk to Shen Qing.
On the other hand, Shen Lu clenched his fists tightly and cursed in his heart. ‘Fuck! If my Big Sis is in a relationship with that Mo Xie, then all our plans will be messed up! Sigh, I should go see Aotian and the others, and I should also contact Big Brother Qin to inform him of this matter.’
After saying that, Shen Lu immediately took a hat and mask to cover his swollen face, and he left the Shen House right after.

On the other hand, Yang Li was already sitting by her daughter’s bed and sighed softly. “Are you in love with Mo Xie, Qing’er?”
“Do you also want to forbides me to have a relationship with him, Mom?” Shen Qing asked back.
Yang Li then lay down beside her daughter and hugged her. “You know that Mom will always support your decision, right? However, I want to hear why you fell in love with Mo Xie, especially since you have only known each other for two days.”
“I don’t know, Mom.” Shen Qing replied with a head shake and hugged her mother back. “Since I met Mo Xie yesterday, I have been unable to get his image out of my mind. Moreover, he is very gentle and caring and the complete opposite of Qin Ming.”
“Hmm?” Yang Li raised her eyebrows after hearing that, for she also kept imagining Chen Li’s figure after meeting him this morning, which made her constantly uneasy. “Is it true that he treats you gently?”
“Yes.” Shen Qing nodded to her. “Do you still remember my stories back then?”
“Which one?”
“About Qin Ming forcing me to have sex with him.”
“Eh?” Yang Li abruptly looked at her daughter. “Does that mean you’ve been intimate with Mo Xie?”
“Yes.” Shen Qing answered without hesitation, for she had never hidden anything about her personal relationship from her mother. “After we sent Little Bao’er back to the orphanage, we went to another place and did the intimate things.”
“Why did you do such a thing with him? Are you sure that Mo Xie doesn’t just want your body?” Yang Li asked suspiciously, especially since she knew nothing about Chen Li.
Shen Qing shook her head. “If Mo Xie only wanted my body, he could force me to have sex easily, especially since I was completely naked. However, he didn’t force me to do it and was willing to give me time to understand our relationship first.”
“I see.” Yang Li nodded in understanding but was also surprised to hear that Chen Li could restrain himself after seeing her daughter’s sexy naked body. “So, what’s your plan for your relationship with Qin Ming? Will you break up with him?”
Shen Qing did not directly answer her mother’s question and thought things over in her heart. Although she has already started to take an interest in Chen Li, she also still loves Qin Ming, which makes her feel in a dilemma to make a decision.
However, the difference in attitude and character between the two men made Shen Qing more inclined to choose Chen Li. Yet, she also felt lost about breaking up with Qin Ming, especially since they had been dating for a long time and their families were very close.
Seeing that her daughter was speechless, Yang Li rubbed her head and said to her. “If you are more interested in Mo Xie, you should decide about your relationship with Qin Ming soon, or else your hesitation will throw the relationship between the three of you into chaos.”
“I know, Mom. I will definitely make a decision soon after thinking things through.” Shen Qing buried her face in her mother’s embrace.
Yang Li sighed softly and said again. “Anyway, you can invite Mo Xie to come here tomorrow; I want to discuss your relationship with him, okay?”
“All right, I will contact and ask him to come tomorrow.” Shen Qing replied with an affirmative nod, for she hoped that her mother could get to know Chen Li better; only then could she make up her mind for her next move.

Meanwhile, after Chen Li left the Shen House, he immediately went to fetch Guo Qing. He brought his best friend to the Qingshui Restaurant to check the preparations for the opening first.
“Hey, Brother Chen! I still didn’t expect that you would open your first business so soon, and you even recruited Aunt Yun as the head chef of your restaurant.” Guo Qing said as he followed his best friend into the restaurant. “Since she’s the head chef, I’m sure this restaurant will prosper.”
“That’s true.” Chen Li nodded in agreement with him. “Aunt Yun’s cooking skills are extraordinary, and every dish she cooks has an aroma and taste that is far different from other chefs.”
Guo Qing repeatedly nodded, for he really liked his future mother-in-law’s cooking, and her dishes were delicious, making him feel lucky to be her daughter’s lover.
“Li’er? Guo Qing?” Lin Yin greeted them in surprise. “Are you here to see Aunt Qingzhu? She is on the second floor discussing the opening with Aunt Yun and Sister Xiaoxue.”
“Yes.” Chen Li nodded to her, but he noticed Lin Yin’s strange look at him, making him sigh. ‘It seems my cousin is affected by my charm.’ “In that case, I will meet them first, cousin.”
“En.” Lin Yin nodded to him, keeping her eyes on Chen Li’s back.
Suddenly, Xi Ling patted Lin Yin’s shoulder, startling her. “Hey, Sister Yin! Are you captivated by your cousin?”
