Book 1: Chapter 19: Master Mo Will Pay for Everything Today

“Qingtong is going too? Doesn’t she have to study?”

“Master said there must be a balance between work and rest. After doing mock exams for so long, it is time for her to relax a little. We can’t exhaust the young miss, so he allowed the young miss to go with you. The young miss felt very happy to hear that.”

“Indeed, a balance between work and rest is important. I’ll come over and help her study tomorrow.” Chen Heng was planning to leak the college entrance exam questions to Mo Qingtong. He did not need to do so for the language subjects, but he could give her some guidance in the science subjects and math.

“The young miss will be very happy.”

When Chen Heng entered, he saw Mo Yun reading the newspaper while seated on the sofa. He seemed to have seen the same scene yesterday. Do all government officials like to read the newspaper?

“Little Heng, are you going to the electronics market to buy a phone and computer for Sirin?”

“Uh-huh!”

“In that case, let me pay for everything on this trip to the electronics market. Take it as my gift to Sirin.”

“This…”

“Don’t be in a hurry to refuse. Didn’t I say I would give Sirin a gift? However, I don’t know what young children like nowadays, so take the phone and computer as gifts. Pick good ones; don’t try to save. Raven, do keep an eye out. Get the best.”

“Yes, Master. Master, I’m going upstairs to help the young miss first.”

“Ok, go on, then.”

“Do you need help? Qingtong is upstairs?”

“Little Tong should be changing clothes upstairs. Do you want to go up and see?”

“This…there’s no need for that, right? I’ll just wait.” Chen Heng felt embarrassed. A girl is changing, so why are you telling me to go up? Are you worried that your daughter can’t get married?

“I see. Take a seat first, then. Wait, why do you look disappointed?

“Girls will take some time to change. Just wait patiently.” Look at your sorrowful expression. What did you experience?

Five minutes later:

“Little Heng, let’s go.” Mo Yun got proven wrong shortly after speaking. His daughter had already finished changing and was walking down the stairs.

“Huh? Why are you so fast today? Don’t you and your mother take at least half an hour to change before you go shopping? Don’t tell me you got ready in advance to go out and have fun?” This is definitely a person with a story to tell.

“Huh…I didn’t! I just casually picked some clothes.”

Why the pause? Like I believe you. You’re even wearing makeup. You were prepared to go out and have fun long ago. Were you planning on finding a reason to go out, even without me? Chen Heng was frantically ridiculing Mo Qingtong in his heart.

However, truth be told, Chen Heng found Mo Qingtong’s getup stunning. She wore a short-sleeved blouse with red and white stripes, a black collar, and black hems. It looked exquisitely tailored, dainty, and delicate, displaying her beautiful collarbones. A pale-blue miniskirt revealed fair, long legs. Her white sneakers gave her a relaxed look. She already looked pretty in the first place. Now, with makeup—which Raven must have helped her apply—she looked even more attractive.

How is this a high school girl? You are even tempting me. When I think about it, she has always been a daring person. These were Chen Heng’s true thoughts.

“You…can’t even lie. Never mind. I’ll spare you this time.”

“Thank you, Dad! Little Heng, let’s go!”

“Alright. Bye, Uncle Mo!”

After 30 minutes of traveling and 40 minutes of shopping, Chen Heng finished buying everything. As for what happened exactly, I won’t elaborate lest you accuse me of padding the word count. Chen Heng had already arranged for the delivery of the computer. If they headed home now, they would arrive in time to receive the delivery.

“So, where are we going to have fun now?” Mo Qingtong sallied forth.

“Shouldn’t we head back now?” Chen Heng perfectly shot her down.

Mo Qingtong launched another attack. “No! I managed to get out after much difficulty. How can I go back so quickly?”

“However, it would be past five by the time we reach home if we leave now. I’m making dinner. Are you planning not to eat?” Chen Heng shot her down again, dealing her a fatal blow this time.

“…Very well. You win. Let’s go home.” Clearly, Mo Qingtong chose food in the battle between food and fun.

After another 30 minutes of traveling, they returned to Mo Qingtong’s house. Nothing interesting happened in between.

“Uncle Mo, we are back!” When Chen Heng reached Mo Qingtong’s house, he saw Mo Yun still reading the newspaper. It had been a long time, but government officials tended to order three or four different newspapers. Their employers paid for these. In the future, Chen Heng would receive four different newspapers too.

“Are you going to start cooking?” The moment Mo Yun saw Chen Heng return, he asked about meal preparations.

“There’s no rush, right? Where’s Aunty Liu?” Despite coming over for the second time today, Chen Heng still did not see Liu Yunxian.

“Her? She is having her beauty sleep. She went to sleep at three. She should be waking up soon.”

“Should we wait for her?”

“Don’t ever wait. Quickly start cooking!” When Chen Heng mentioned cooking with Liu Yunxian, Mo Yun turned anxious. It was rare for him to have a decent meal. How could he let one slip through his fingers?

“Cough! Cough! I mean, it’s already past five. It is time to start cooking. Just let Aunty Liu sleep a little longer. Think about how great it would be if she could immediately eat after waking up?” Perhaps Mo Yun felt he had been too hasty and decided to correct himself.

“Right, right, right! Quickly start cooking. It would be best if you finish before my mother wakes up. That way, you can come again tomorrow to get my mother to give you pointers. That means I can eat your cooking again tomorrow.”

“…”

“Alright. I’ll start cooking. Elder Sister Raven, can you help me? I don’t know where the ingredients are kept.”

“Sure.” Raven brought Chen Heng to the basement. Unlike Chen Heng’s house, where the basement was reserved for training, Mo Qingtong’s basement served as a pantry.

The moment Chen Heng entered the basement, he felt the temperature decrease. A lower temperature was normal. After all, this place was used for storing food.

“Take a look. What do you need?”

“There are quite a lot of ingredients here. I only know ordinary home cooking, so just common ingredients will do.

“That makes sense. You’ve only cooked for a few days, so you won’t be capable of the very complicated dishes. Speaking of which, that reminds me of when I tried to teach the young miss to cook. The first month after we moved here, the young miss insisted on learning to cook to avoid the madam’s cooking. Unfortunately, her cooking was similar to the madam’s. After learning for ten days, she could not cook anything decent.”

“…”
