In the past few days of the New Year, Xiao Han had been living in Qin family’s villa. Apart from his grandparents, there were Qin Mo’s parents, drivers and servants. There were a lot of people. Apart from being intimate with Qin Mo alone every night, Xiao Han didn’t dare to make any outrageous actions at other times, lest he would be discovered.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, grandfather Qin’s 80-year-old birthday banquet.
The birthday banquet was scheduled at a nearby hotel. Everyone in the Qin family had to attend. There were also many collateral relatives, so a full 30 tables were set up. Xiao Han looked at the people sitting in the banquet hall, and couldn’t help sighing that the relatives of the Qin family were terrifying. Fortunately, he and Xiao Mo didn’t need to live in his hometown in the future. Otherwise, Xiao Han couldn’t even remember the names of the distant relatives alone.
Many cousins who came to attend the birthday banquet were very confused when they saw the stranger Xiao Han. After inquiring, they realised that this was a mixed-race, a good friend of Qin Mo, and the godson that Zhou Lan recognized.
After a birthday banquet, many people knew Xiao Han and couldn’t help casting envious eyes at Zhou Lan. Many people praised Xiao Han in front of her. “Your godson is handsome and sensible!”
“He bought this coral necklace, right? It’s really filial! He is more filial than my own son!”
Zhou Lan was humble, but she was happy in her heart.
Xiao Han entertained guests at the birthday party, arranged seats, and what Qin Yu told him to do, he did what he told, he simply couldn’t pick out any mistakes. He asked Qin Mo to sit at the table and eat fruit, but after that he followed Qin Mo’s father, Zhou Lan couldn’t help sighing when she looked at him: It was really like a son.
The birthday banquet ended in a joyous atmosphere, and the Qin family were also taken back to the villa by special bus.
Grandfather Qin had a very good impression of Xiao Han. He was a little bit reluctant to hear that he was leaving tomorrow, “Won’t you stay for a few days?”
Xiao Han replied, “Xiao Mo and I will go back to Nanjing to do something first, and then we have to go to the team for training, and the tickets have already been booked.”
Grandfather Qin touched his beard and said, “Come back to our house again when you have time!”
Xiao Han smiled and said, “Okay grandfather, I will come again if I have a chance.”
They were on the next morning flight, so the elders let them rest early.
After returning to the bedroom, Xiao Han packed his luggage and asked, “Xiao Mo, am I doing okay this time? Grandfather and godmother like me very much.”
However, Qin Mo didn’t answer.
Looking back, he found Qin Mo frowning and sitting on the bed, his complexion looked ugly. Xiao Han immediately strode to the bed and whispered, “What’s wrong with you?”
Qin Mo’s forehead was already oozing fine beads of sweat, his fingers gently pressed his stomach, and said, “Stomach hurts, probably because I ate too many cold dishes at the birthday banquet today.”
Xiao Han reached out and touched his forehead, saying, “I’ll find some medicine for you.”
“My mom should have stomach medicine there…” Qin Mo replied.
Xiao Han turned to find Zhou Lan and told her that Qin Mo had a stomach problem. Zhou Lan immediately came over with a medicine box. Seeing her son’s pale face, she couldn’t help feeling distressed. While looking for medicine, she complained. “You have a bad stomach and don’t pay much attention to your meal. You didn’t eat breakfast this morning. You directly ate cold dishes at the birthday banquet at noon. It’s strange if you don’t feel uncomfortable!”
Xiao Han turned and poured a cup of warm water, helped Qin Mo to lie down on the bed, took the medicine Zhou Lan found and fed it to him. Then he sat by the bed and asked, “Do you want to go to the hospital?”
Qin Mo shook his head with a pale face, “No need, just bear it for a while.”
Xiao Han gently touched his hair and said softly, “Don’t hold on, stomach trouble can be big or small. if the pain is unbearable, I’ll take you to the hospital, okay?”
Qin Mo nodded obediently, “En.”
Watching this scene, Zhou Lan suddenly felt something strange in her heart.
Xiao Han’s gaze was extremely gentle, and his eyes were full of distress, even more distressed than her as his mother.
Is his relationship with Qin Mo so good?
In doubt, Xiao Han turned back and said, “Godmother, does Xiao Mo have stomach trouble all the time? Or did he get it in the past two years?”
Zhou Lan said, “It’s a family inherited stomach problem. Qin Mo and his father also have it, but it is not serious. Xiao Mo rarely had it. Today, he probably ate cold dishes without breakfast. As a result, his stomach became cold and it was difficult to digest, so he began to have stomach pain.”
Xiao Han nodded and said, “I see. Please go back and have a rest. I’ll take care of Xiao Mo here.”
Zhou Lan looked at him suspiciously and said, “Well, trouble you.”

Then she suddenly froze in place——
Inside, Qin Mo leaned against the bed with his eyes closed, frowning gently because of stomach pain. Xiao Han kissed him on the forehead, and then laid in bed and held him in his arms. Qin Mo obediently leaned his face against Xiao Han’s chest, and the atmosphere between two people looked particularly warm.
Are they really not simple friends?
Zhou Lan actually had doubts for a long time. If Xiao Han came to Qin family’s New Year’s Day, if he was just friends with Qin Mo, he had no reason to buy so many valuable gifts for his grandfather. Besides, she didn’t communicate much after admitting him as a godson, and their relationship wasn’t so deep, and he didn’t need to spend a lot of money to buy her this expensive coral necklace. He didn’t like playing mahjong at all, but in order to accompany her, he sat at the mahjong table and played cards with some aunts every day. At the birthday banquet, he busily helped, he looked exactly like the Qin family. There was no need for a pure friendship to behave like this.
Moreover, the scene in front of her couldn’t deceive people. Xiao Mo leaned against him with a reassuring expression. Xiao Han held Qin Mo and his face was so gentle…
With such a tacit understanding, there was no room for a third person to intervene, and they had obviously been together for a long time.
Xiao Han and Qin Mo were lovers. He hoped that Qin Mo’s family could accept him, so he behaved so well when he came to Qin family’s house to pay New year’s greetings and won everyone’s favor.
Having figured this out, Zhou Lan took a deep breath and turned away.
She wasn’t the kind of vixen who rushed in hysterically and asked ‘What are you doing?’ As an educated person, she would habitually maintain her demeanor on any occasion. Even if her son was really with Xiao Han, the first thing she needed to ask was her son’s thoughts, instead of rushing to scold them.
Zhou Lan quickly calmed down and returned to the bedroom.
Seeing her pale face, Qin Yu couldn’t help worrying and said, “What? Is our son’s stomach very serious?”
Zhou Lan shook her head. “It’s not serious. It’s just a stomach ache after eating something cold. Xiao Han is taking care of him.”
Qin Yu touched his chin and said, “This Xiao Han is very attentive to our son.”
Zhou Lan was silent for a moment and asked tentatively, “Xiao Mo has no girlfriend yet, what do you think about his life-long events?”
Qin Yu smiled, “My son can marry whoever he likes. I don’t care about the other person’s family background. Our Qin family is rich enough, so Xiao Mo doesn’t need to marry a well-matched daughter. Treating him well and sincerely is the most important thing.”
Zhou Lan lowered her head thoughtfully and smiled a moment later. “Indeed, as a parent, Xiao Mo suffered so much at that time, I don’t want to make him sad again, as long as he feels happy and the other party is sincere to him, that’s enough.”
It didn’t matter if it was a man. Instead of letting Xiao Mo quarrel with a woman he didn’t like every day, let him find someone who could really love him and care about him.
Xiao Han’s character, Zhou Lan, could rest assured, after all, he was also a famous great god in the gaming circle, and had known Qin Mo for many years, knowing each other. Xiao Han was very smart, sensible, filial, and very considerate. When seeing Qin Mo’s disease, his terribly distressed expression was definitely not a pretense. Obviously he also loved Qin Mo very much.
If they really loved each other, Zhou Lan, as a mother, was willing to fulfill it.
However, Qin Mo’s father was more stubborn, she had to think about how to tell him about this matter well.
***
Qin Mo’s stomach disease eased a lot after taking the medicine, and soon fell asleep.
Xiao Han then got up to help pack. He remembered that Qin Mo had a scarf hanging on the hanger in the living room, and went downstairs to get it. As a result, he met Zhou Lan in the corridor.
Zhou Lan glanced at Xiao Han and said, “Come here, godmother has something to ask you.”
Xiao Han followed her suspiciously to the study on the second floor.
Grandfather and the others had already fallen asleep. There was no one in the study. Zhou Lan closed the door, then she looked at Xiao Han and asked calmly, “You are with Qin Mo, are you?”
Xiao Han’s back became stiff, and he didn’t know how to lie.
Zhou Lan replied, “Don’t deny it, your nervous expression after Qin Mo’s disease can’t deceive people, and I saw you kiss his forehead just now. There’s no such thing between friends.”
Xiao Han was silent for a moment before he said frankly, “That’s right, Xiao Mo and I are really together… I’m sorry to keep it from you.”
“Are you just dating, or do you have a long-term plan?” Zhou Lan asked.
Xiao Han took a deep breath and said seriously. “I proposed to him when we were abroad, and he agreed. We plan to find a suitable time in the future and go abroad to get married if both parents accept it. I am with Xiao Mo. It’s not just to fall in love casually, but to stay with him for a lifetime.”
Zhou Lan’s eyes turned red slightly, raising her head to look at Xiao Han, “Have you really decided?”
“Yes, I really love him.” Xiao Han nodded vigorously.
As he was talking, the door of the study was suddenly kicked open. Qin Yu walked in with a black face, closed the door easily, and said with a harsh voice, “You say it again? Who did you propose to? Who agreed?”
Zhou Lan: “…”
Xiao Han: “……”
Both of them suddenly froze in place, and neither of them dared to speak.
Qin Yu strode forward to both of them and glanced at Zhou Lan. “You came out of the room secretly and said you were going to get something. I thought you looked wrong. Unexpectedly, you were here with Xiao Han to discuss Qin Mo’s lifelong events without telling me!”
Zhou Lan’s face looked awkward. “I’m afraid you will be angry, so I want to ask Xiao Han first, and then explain it to you slowly…”
Qin Yu looked back and stared at Xiao Han. “You said, what is your relationship with my son? What do you mean he agreed to your proposal?”
Xiao Han felt that he was about to be executed by Qin Mo’s father.
Taking a deep breath and becoming bolder, Xiao Han said seriously, “I-I am Xiao Mo’s boyfriend, and I want to marry Xiao Mo.”
“Marry what fart, who do you think my Xiao Mo is?” Qin Yu raised his hand to beat Xiao Han. Xiao Han immediately hid back. Zhou Lan quickly hugged Qin Yu’s leg, “Old Qin, don’t do it, we are civilized people, don’t do it, just say it if you want to say something…”
Xiao Han shrank his neck and remembered when father Qin overturned the paparazzi studio that blackened Qin Mo, so his heart trembled.
Qin Yu was so angry that he clenched his fists, stared at Xiao Han and said, “Okay, I won’t beat you first. You tell me honestly. Did you lead my son astray!!”
Xiao Han almost knelt down to him. “Uncle, Xiao Mo and I really love each other…”
Qin Yu said harshly, “Really love each other? Who are you kidding?! My family, good Xiao Mo, doesn’t like a girl, but will like a tough man like you? You must have given him some bewitching spell, because he looks so innocent and easy to cheat!”
Xiao Han: “…”
Pointing angrily at Xiao Han, Qin Yu endured the impulse to beat people up and gritted his teeth and said, “Listen to me. Qin Mo is my only son and a treasure I hold in the palm of my hand. Don’t you dare touch a hair of him, try and see if I won’t chop you up!”
Xiao Han: “…”
Xiao Han was too scared to speak. It was as if the next moment he would chop himself with a knife and throw it to the fish.
It was said that Qin Mo’s father had the style of a gangster boss. Xiao Han finally saw it today.
Zhou Lan came out and said, “Don’t be so fierce to Xiao Han. One palm alone cannot clap (it takes two persons to start a dispute). Since they are together, Qin Mo isn’t brainless. It’s impossible to be cheated by Xiao Han and agree? You know your son. He has had a strong opinion since he was a child. He won’t do anything he doesn’t want even if you put a knife around his neck.”
Qin Yu stomped angrily, “You mean, Qin Mo will like this little b*stard?!”
Little b*stard Xiao Han: “……”
Zhou Lan glanced at Xiao Han, coughed softly and said, “I think I should ask Qin Mo about this question.”
Just then, the door of the study was pushed open again, and Qin Mo stood at the door with a pale face, and said softly, “That’s right, I like Xiao Han.”
Xiao Han: “…”
Zhou Lan and Qin Yu: “……”
The three of them were dumbfounded.
Qin Yu’s face was extremely ugly. He stared at Qin Mo and said, “What did you say just now?”
Qin Mo looked at his father and said seriously, “I like Xiao Han. To be exact, I really love him. He didn’t force me or cheat me. I like him myself.”
Qin Yu was about to explode with anger. “You! You! What nonsense are you talking about?! How can you like him?”
There was a burst of pain in his chest, but looking at his son’s sick pale face, and then looking at his firm gaze, Qin Yu hardened his heart to not say harsh words.
Qin Mo calmly replied, “Xiao Han has been waiting for me to come back all these years. After I came back, he helped me without hesitation. He always accompanied me silently, tolerated all my shortcomings, and was considerate and concerned about me. It’s normal for me to like such a nice person.”
Qin Yu was so angry that he covered his chest. “Normal what a fart! You start to help him speak now. Want to rebel with him in the future!!”
Qin Mo said, “Dad, you have to be reasonable. Mom is right. One palm alone cannot clap. Xiao Han and I are in love with each other. Please don’t scold Xiao Han and threaten to chop him up. Xiao Han really didn’t lie to me about anything. I was with him of my own free will.”
Qin Yu: “You, you, you’re gonna piss me off!”
Zhou Lan came out reluctantly, “Okay, okay, Xiao Mo is still sick. Please don’t make so much noise… Old Qin, let the children rest first, and talk about it another day.”
Qin Yu shook his sleeve and left with an angry expression of ‘you guys are bullying me.’
Zhou Lan rubbed his eyebrows with a headache and said, “Xiao Mo, it’s not that you don’t know your father’s temper. Let him calm down for a few days. He loves you dearly and will definitely stick to you in the end.”
Qin Mo lowered his head and said softly, “I’m sorry mom, I’m determined to be with Xiao Han this time. I’ve disappointed you.”
Zhou Lan’s eyes were red and gently shook her son’s hand, “What stupid words do you say? What disappointed. Your mom only hopes you can be happy.”
Qin Mo gently hugged her and said, “Thank you mom. Dad is still angry, please help me to persuade him.”
Zhou Lan nodded. “Rest assured.”
After she turned and left, Qin Mo looked back at Xiao Han and asked with concern, “Is everything alright? I heard my dad scolding you.”
Xiao Han touched his nose, smiled and said, “Nevermind. Uncle just said a few words and didn’t beat me… Why did you get up?”
“Get out of bed and pour water,” Qin Mo replied. “Come and have a look when I hear the noise here.”
He originally slept in Xiao Han’s arms and slept very comfortably, but Xiao Han went to pack the luggage when he saw him asleep. Qin Mo fell asleep uncomfortably. When he woke up, there was no one in the room. He just wanted to drink a glass of water, get out of bed and pour water. As a result, passing by the entrance of the study, he heard arguing inside, it seemed that his parents knew their relationship.
Qin Mo got a fright, fearing that his father would really beat Xiao Han, he immediately pushed the door and went in to the rescue.
Xiao Han gently took Qin Mo’s hand and whispered, “Xiao Mo, just now you stood on my side so firmly. To tell the truth, I didn’t expect it.”
He thought that Xiao Mo would be afraid to speak when facing his father. As a result, Qin Mo was particularly determined this time.
Qin Mo glanced at Xiao Han, and his pale face also showed a smile. “I can’t hide behind like a coward, let you be beaten and scolded by my dad?” He gently held Xiao Han’s hand back and said earnestly and firmly, “You are so good to me, and I should be good to you. Feelings are meant to be mutual. We are fighting side by side. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we should bear them together. Only in this way can we be regarded as partners, right?”
Listening to his words, Xiao Han’s heart softened, and immediately nodded and said, “Yes, this is how it should be.”
He stretched out his arms and gently hugged Qin Mo into his arms, rubbing the other’s hair and said, “What you said to your dad just now, can you say it again?”
“Which sentence?” Qin Mo asked.
Xiao Han said, “The sentence ‘I really love him’. You change the third person in this sentence to the second person, and tell me again, okay?”
Qin Mo was stunned, only then did he realise what he meant.
His cheeks were a little hot and his ears were red. Qin Mo said embarrassedly, “I don’t want to say it a second time. You can do such a simple thing yourself.”
Xiao Han said, “After the change, it becomes, I love you.” he finished seriously, then rubbed Qin Mo’s shoulder with his chin and brazenly spoiled, “Say it, you didn’t tell me that. Xiao Mo, I love you. What about you? Tell me.”
Qin Mo was silent for a moment, but finally he couldn’t help but be soft-hearted and said those words with difficulty, “I-I love you, too.”
His voice was very soft, but Xiao Han heard it accurately.
For a moment, it was as if the blood of the whole body rushed to the part of the heart, and the heart was filled with happiness. Xiao Han immediately kissed Qin Mo’s face.
However, Xiao Mo wasn’t in good health, and Xiao Han didn’t dare to kiss more. After kissing him gently, he took his hand and went back to the bedroom, holding him in bed.
No matter how angry father Qin was, the key was Qin Mo’s attitude. As long as Qin Mo stood firm, Xiao Han was confident to let father Qin accept himself.
He gently clasped Qin Mo’s fingers under the covers, and interlocked his fingers.
Seeing that Qin Mo soon fell asleep at ease, Xiao Han couldn’t help smiling and said to himself in his heart: we have experienced so much to today. This time, I won’t let go of your hand again.
