Dia ingat Tuan Tua tidak sanggup melihat Nian Xiaomu menikah di tempat jauh, dan itulah alasan dia mengadopsi Mo Yongheng.
Jika Mo Yongheng benar-benar keturunan Keluarga Mo, dia pasti memiliki hubungan darah dengan Nian Xiaomu.
Kalau begitu, bagaimana Tuan Tua mengizinkah dia menikahi Nian Xiaomu?
"Aku bukan anak Keluarga Mo, aku anak yatim yang diadopsi Tuan Tua. Karena orang tuaku memiliki ikatan dengan Keluarga Mo, aku dikirim ke sana setelah mereka meninggal."
Mo Yongheng bicara pelan dengan wajah tenang.
Nada datar, seolah tidak peduli identitasnya diragukan orang lain.
Matanya tetap menatap Tan Bengbeng sejak tadi.
"Kudengar kau pengawal rahasia Nian Xiaomu dan sudah melindunginya bertahun-tahun. Kerjaannya susah? Kalian... baik-baik saja?" Mo Yongheng tiba-tiba bertanya.
Dia sadar pertanyaannya terlalu mendadak setelah selesai bertanya.
Sambil mengangkat cangkir teh di depannya, dia minum secukupnya untuk menyembunyikan reaksi anehnya.
Sebelum Tan Bengbeng sempat menjawab, dia bicara lagi.
"Raja Neraka biasanya sendirian, jarang sekali melihatmu begitu akrab dengan orang."
"..."
Momen yang ditunggu Qi Yan sepertinya akhirnya tiba saat mendengar itu.
Dia menegakkan badan dan duduk tegak di sofa.
Memaksa wajah menyerah, dia bicara pelan dan jelas.
"Tidak ada pilihan, Bengbengku di sini dan aku harus melindunginya. Dia terlalu polos, bagaimana kalau direbut orang?"
"..."
"..."
Dia bukan miliknya!
Kalimat yang sama melintas di benak Mo Yongheng dan Tan Bengbeng bersamaan.
Sebelum Mo Yongheng bereaksi, Tan Bengbeng sudah mengangkat tangan menutup mulut Qi Yan dan memaksa dia duduk dengan benar.
"Apa salahnya bicara jujur? Aku merasa tersakiti..."
Saat Qi Yan menarik tangannya dan hendak keluh, Tan Bengbeng memelototinya tajam. Melotot yang sudah biasa dia lihat.
Dia hamil, jangan sampai digeramkan.
Dia tidak akan memprovokasinya.
Qi Yan akhirnya tenang setelah selesai bersumpah atas kedaulatannya.
Namun ekspresi Mo Yongheng tidak bagus.
Saat mata bertemu dengan Tan Bengbeng, dia bertanya langsung dengan nada serius, "Kalian berdua pacaran?"
"Bukan seperti yang kau pikirkan..."
Tan Bengbeng baru hendak menyangkal, Qi Yan sudah mendekat dan menjawab atas namanya.
"Bukan seperti yang kau pikirkan, kita tidak perlu pacaran sama sekali. Cinta pada pandangan pertama untuk kita berdua, dan sudah sepakat menghabiskan sisa hidup bersama!"
"..."
"..."
Cinta pada pandangan pertama, habiskan sisa hidup bersama? Tidak mungkin!
Siapa yang setuju menghabiskan hidup dengannya?
Wajah Tan Bengbeng merah malu mendengarnya omong kosong, berharap bisa menutup mulutnya dengan pita isolasi saat itu.
Wajah Mo Yongheng juga berubah jelek seketika, menjawab secara refleks, "Kenapa buru-buru jadian kalau baru kenal sebentar... Maksudku, pernikahan harus disikapi serius! Minimal beri tahu keluarga; meski orang tuamu sudah tidak ada, minimal beri tahu Tuan Tua..."
"Dari mana kau tahu orang tuaku sudah meninggal?" Tan Bengbeng bertanya kaget mendengarnya.
"..."
Wajah Mo Yongheng sedikit keterkejutan.
Sesaat kemudian, dia menyipitkan mata dengan tatapan muram dan berkata, "Setiap generasi Keluarga Tan melindungi Keluarga Mo, dan orang tuamu juga penjaga Keluarga Mo. Tuan Tua sangat sedih saat mereka meninggal hingga sakit sekian lama, jadi aku masih ingat."
Setelah selesai bicara, dia mengangkat kepala dan melirik ke Qi Yan.
Dia mengerutkan kening tidak senang melihat wajah jahat dan tidak terdisiplinkan itu.
Suara rendah, "Dia tidak cocok untukmu, dan tidak layak memilikimu!"

She remembered that the elderly head could not bear to see Nian Xiaomu getting married in a faraway place, and that was the reason why he adopted Mo Yongheng.
If Mo Yongheng was indeed a descendant of the Mo Family, he must be in some way related to Nian Xiaomu by blood.
In this case, how would the elderly head allow him to marry Nian Xiaomu?
“I am not a child of the Mo Family, I was an orphan who was adopted by the elderly head. As my parents had some ties with the Mo Family, I was sent there after they died.”
Mo Yongheng spoke slowly with a composed look.
He spoke in a placid tone, and he did not seem to mind that his identity was doubted by someone else.
He kept his gaze fixated on Tan Bengbeng the entire time.
“I heard that you are Nian Xiaomu’s secret guard and that you have been protecting her all these years. Is it a tough job? Are… are you all good?” Mo Yongheng suddenly asked.
He seemed to realize that his questions were a little abrupt after he was done asking.
As he picked up the teacup in front of him, he took a sip to hide his unusual reaction.
Before Tan Bengbeng could answer him, he spoke again.
“The King of Hell is usually a lone operator, and it is really rare to see you on such friendly terms with people.”
“…”
The moment that Qi Yan had been waiting for seemed to have finally arrived when he heard what he said.
He straightened his body and sat upright on the sofa.
He forced a look of resignation and spoke slowly and clearly.
“No choice, my Bengbeng is here and I have to protect her. She’s too innocent, what if someone gets his hands on her?”
“…”
“…”
She did not belong to him!
The same sentence flashed past Mo Yongheng and Tan Bengbeng’s mind at the same time.
Before Mo Yongheng could react, Tan Bengbeng had already raised her hand to cover Qi Yan’s mouth and forced him to sit down properly.
“What’s wrong with speaking the truth? I feel wronged…”
Just as Qi Yan pulled her hand down and was about to complain, Tan Bengbeng cast a fierce glare at him. It was the roll of her eyes which he was very familiar with.
She was pregnant and she could not be angered.
He would not provoke her.
Qi Yan finally calmed down after he was done with swearing on his sovereignty.
However, Mo Yongheng’s expression did not seem good.
As he met Tan Bengbeng’s gaze, he asked her directly in a serious tone, “Are the two of you dating?”
“Things were not what you thought it was…”
Just as Tan Bengbeng was about to deny it, Qi Yan had already squeezed his body up to her and answered on her behalf.
“Things were not what you thought it was, we don’t have to date at all. It was love at first sight for both of us, and we have already decided to spend the rest of our lives with each other!”
“…”
“…”
Love at first sight, spend the rest of their lives together? No way!
Whoever has agreed to spend the rest of her life with him?
Tan Bengbeng’s face turned red from embarrassment when she heard him spouting nonsense, and she wished that she could seal his mouth with tape at that very moment.
Mo Yongheng’s face turned ugly almost immediately as well as he replied subconsciously, “Why did you get together so rashly when you barely knew each other… What I meant was, marriage is something that should be taken seriously! You must at least tell your family members about it; granted your parents are no longer around, you should at least let the elderly head know about it…”
“How did you know that my parents were dead?” Tan Bengbeng asked in surprise when she heard what he said.
“…”
Mo Yongheng’s face froze slightly.
A moment later, he narrowed his eyes with a downcast look and said, “Every generation of the Tan family has been protecting the Mo Family, and your parents were the guardians of the Mo Family too. The elderly head was so upset when they passed away that he fell sick for a period of time, so I have some recollections of it.”
When Mo Yongheng finished speaking, he lifted his head and took a glance at Qi Yan.
He frowned in displeasure when he saw his devilish and undisciplined face.
He said in a low voice, “He is not suitable for you, nor does he deserve you!”
