Stubborn Love of a Roguish Scion

Chapter 126: Finding a Girl to Look After Him

“The majority wins. Your protest is void.”

“Chief, what did you just say? We couldn’t hear you.”

“Alright, alright. Little sister-in-law, hurry to the banquet. Remember to cook for us tomorrow!”

The three of them burst into chortles, turned around, took their laptops, and left for the guestroom arm-in-arm with the other two.

The man pursed his lips tighter, his hands on her pressing down harder.

“Hurts...” she cooed. Is he trying to break my arm?

He looked at her begrudgingly as if to remind her that she could only cook for him and him alone.

Ye Erruo was bemused. “Only this time.”

That did not seem to pacify him.

...

Patriarch Lin liked calligraphy, so most of the guests chose to present expensive and famous calligraphic works as gifts for his birthday that day.

Ye Erruo had never met the old man before, although Lin Jingxuan had mentioned him from time to time. Furthermore, the old man did not like his son and was not even aware of his engagement. He was really into Mo Jiangye, though!

The word “respect” would be a more appropriate term to describe his indulgence.

“Xiao Ye, the housekeeper told me that you moved out?”

“Yes.” There was no expression on the man’s face as he answered the old man’s question.

Old Master Lin sighed.

“Yes.”

“Is anyone taking care of your daily needs at your place? It won’t be as convenient as our home, so you have to make sure you get sufficient rest, no matter how busy you are.”

“Alright.”

“Old Master, this is Young Master Mo’s present for you.”

The old man’s eyes lit up when he saw the gift. Upon taking the box carefully from the housekeeper, he was comforted when he saw a painting scroll inside. He proceeded to cautiously tuck the precious gift away.

“Xiao Ye, you should be 27 or 28 this year, right? It’s time for you to find a good girl to look after you when you are so busy. Do you have any girls in mind?”

“Old Master, Young Master Mo likes Young Master Lin’s girlfriend, remember?” the housekeeper reminded him softly from behind.

When the old man’s memory was jolted, he let out a deep sigh again.

Beside him, Mo Jiangye’s frigid expression held no warmth as the old master tried his best to get him to talk with a smiling face. It was obvious that the elderly man was used to the young man’s detached behavior. The fact that he had come to his birthday celebration was good enough for him.

However, Mo Jiangye caught sight of Ye Erruo emerging from the washroom. As he stood on the second floor, his unflinching eyes rested on the woman’s figure below him. One could see the gentleness overflowing from within him.

Coincidentally, Lin Jingxuan was standing across from her. It was obvious that the man was making a dash for her. Mo Jiangye tensed up immediately.

When Ye Erruo saw him walking toward her from afar, she turned her head in a second and walked up the stairs in the opposite direction. Her man could not help chuckling like a devilish little kid upon seeing that.

Patriarch Lin was quite shaken at the sight of his son laughing. He quickly turned to his housekeeper to confirm that this was not his imagination.

The housekeeper, who was stunned too, nodded at the old man. He had not seen Young Master Mo laugh in the past either.

When the young chap saw his woman approaching, he stood up briskly and walked toward her.

“What took you so long? You were gone for half an hour.”

Ye Erruo’s lips twitched involuntarily. Did she need to report to him how long she needed to stoop in the loo?

“Speak!”

After sighing, she replied, “I was inside applying makeup.”

When he looked at her impeccable face, his eyes softened at her reply. It was no wonder she looked better than before.

“Are you hungry?” He reached out with his hand naturally for hers.

“A little.”

“Let’s go down and eat something.” Hugging her waist, he led her downstairs, leaving the old man and his butler gawking behind.

“Who is that lady...”

“Old Master, she’s Young Master Lin’s girlfriend.” As he spoke, the two young men bumped into each other on the staircase.

As Mo Jiangye led Ye Erruo down the stairs, Lin Jingxuan was holding Gu Feirou’s hand and walking up with her...
