As such, to Tan Bengbeng, Mo Yongheng’s status was actually no different from the others.
She was more appreciative and respectful toward him only because he had saved the elderly head’s life, as well as the fact that he had been serving him for the past few years.
Her attitude toward him was more welcoming too.
Not only did she personally invite Mo Yongheng to take a seat, she even told the bodyguards to pour him a cup of tea when he sat down.
As Tan Bengbeng had a cold personality, it was very difficult to get her to speak to a stranger, much less take the initiative to host someone.
But now, she was actually so nice to Mo Yongheng, someone whom she had merely met a few times…
The expression on Qi Yan’s face instantly darkened.
He folded his arms and coldly studied Mo Yongheng from head to toe.
He was inferior to him in terms of looks.
He was surely not as wealthy as him either.
How well he treated Tan Bengbeng was definitely evident as well; as the King of Medicine who enjoyed a high status, he allowed Tan Bengbeng to order him around, just like a footman of hers. He was always so ready to serve her in any way, such as taking care of her meals and general wellbeing…
Who else could compete with him?
However, even so, Tan Bengbeng still would not spare a glance for him.
She was annoyed with him every day and simply treated him like an unwanted, shameless dog. However, she actually took the initiative to speak to Mo Yongheng.
Just look at her gaze toward Mo Yongheng—That gentleness, that pleasant countenance…
In comparison, her gaze toward him was completely different.
All she did was to glare at him!
Oh, she would roll her eyes at him incessantly too.
The more Qi Yan compared how they were both treated, the moodier he felt.
He had a feeling that his Bengbeng was about to get snatched away by others.
He had totally forgotten that she was currently pregnant with a tiny version of the King of Hell, and his heart sank to the deepest pits the moment he saw how gentle she was toward Mo Yongheng.
Following that, he even felt annoyed just by looking at Mo Yongheng!
“I heard that you are an indirect descendant of the Mo Family and that you were sent to the Mo Family’s head to be raised by him. As such, you are considered a member of the Mo Family too, but why is it that I have never heard about your parents?”
With one hand supporting his head, Qi Yan leaned back on the sofa lazily.
He spoke in a nonchalant tone which made one unable to detect the meaning behind his question.
It seemed as if he was trying to understand his newfound friend.
Or perhaps, he had asked the question because he was not familiar with him and was wary toward him.
Tan Bengbeng turned around and cast him a glance.
Even though Qi Yan was very temperamental, he had made his name when he was very young and that resulted in him having a pretty good insight of others.
Could he have detected something amiss about Mo Yongheng and was reminding her to be careful of him?
After all, their antidote concerned the safety of the elderly head.
Tan Bengbeng’s attitude subconsciously became cautious.
As she turned around to look at Mo Yongheng, an additional hint of inquiry appeared in her gaze.
After she had finished her training that year, she was sent to the Xing Family and had since been following Nian Xiaomu around.
She was actually not that familiar with Mo Yongheng.
He was already a charming youngster when she followed Nian Xiaomu back to the Mo Family for the first time.
As she was a secret guard, she would not be able to meet Mo Yongheng on her own unless Nian Xiaomu visited him.
Come to think of it, they had only met each other a few times.
Afterward, Nian Xiaomu had gone abroad for private schooling and the Tan family had also sent her to other places to pick up new skills. As such, she only returned to the Mo Family again with Nian Xiaomu when it was time for her to do so.
By that time, Mo Yongheng had already become the person whom the elderly head trusted the most.
The entire Mo Family was very polite toward him as well and no one dared to doubt his family background.
After Tan Bengbeng heard what Qi Yan said, she suddenly remembered that if he was really an indirect descendant of the Mo Family, he should have parents as well.
Furthermore, there was something else that was more important!
He might just be Tan Ben’s elder brother

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!”
