Chapter 7 - Part 2
The overbearing patriarch fell in love with me
Translated by peonynoveltl.blogspot.com
The back courtyard is the place where Mo Yitao's grandpa lives. Unlike the modern Chinese-Western style villa at the front, this one has a pure southern Chinese garden style with a lavishly exquisite pavilion patio and winding corridors, matched with an artistically beautiful rockery with a flowing stream that's high and low, full of charm.
Not sure how fancy Grandpa Mo's abode is, but here are some examples:

This kind of traditional Chinese style architecture, He Yan has only seen them in historical materials. In the world he was in, some nobles also copied and constructed Chinese architectures according to historical materials and attracted attention from all walks of life, but if you compare those imitations with the one in front of him, you'll find that those imitations are far less appealing than real Chinese architecture.
In the stream, there are slender and brightly colored ornamental fishes swimming around. Mo Yitao took some fish food for He Yan and under the attraction of food, those lively little fishes quickly gathered together. They shook their heads and flicked their tails to chase after the fish food sprinkled into the water.
"Gege, you don't need to go to work?" He Yan actually really doesn't understand why Mo Yitao as the company's CEO can stay only for an hour or two each day at the office. Everyday, he will follow behind a wimpy kid and act as a nanny.
He really likes being a father so much?
Mo Yitao held his hand and spoke with a natural expression: "No, the company isn't very busy recently. Besides, a company with a complete operating system doesn't require me to handle everything personally."
The boy's hand is a whole lot smaller than his hand and feels soft in his hold, causing his heart to also collapse.
No, I clearly heard your assistant calling in the morning to tactfully complain that you should care more about the company instead of tossing everything to him, a pitiful and single assistant.
He Yan silently cursed in his heart.
Like this, He Yan lived in the Mo family's old house for more than half a month and spent the whole day eating and sleeping like a corrupted bourgeois until after today's dinner, in Mo Qi's bedroom, Mo Yitao suddenly said that he wants to have a talk with him about something important with a slightly serious experience.
Of course, if Mo Yitao doesn't touch his head from time to time, this picture will look a bit more serious.
After dawdling for more than half a month, they're finally getting down to business.
He curled up in his little blanket and leaned against the headboard, holding a delicious cup of freshly squeezed orange juice. He took little sips with half lidded eyes while thinking absent-mindedly. Speaking of food in Mo family's old house, there's really nothing to be picky with, even the juice can be so delicious. It's said that the ingredient is the premium navel orange that was carefully selected.
Navel orange:
It's very obvious why it's called 'navel' orange right? (≧▽≦)
If this continues, he's afraid that this degrading bourgeois lifestyle will raise him to become immobile.
In the next second, the small cup of orange juice that he finished halfway was taken away by a big hand. During this half month of raising He Yan, he became quite lazy. After the cup in his hand was taken away, he didn't react for a while, both hands still slightly retained the posture of holding a cup.
"Be good, you already ate a lot for dinner, drinking too much will hurt your stomach." Mo Yitao used his other hand that wasn't holding the cup to pinch his fingertips and he couldn't maintain his serious expression any longer, " Little foodie."
At the beginning, looking at the child's skinny appearance, he was even worried that Mo Qi might be somewhat anorexic. He specially invited several chefs who are good at different cuisines to cook different varieties for him, afraid that Mo Qi wouldn't eat well.
But in the past two months, he can be considered to have completely seen things clearly. The boy is a downright foodie. Both eyes will sparkle upon seeing delicious food, like a kitten that saw a delicious dried fish. He's also very fond of sweets, especially a variety of juices. If you don't keep an eye on him, he will sneakily drink a big cup of it.
Now, not only is he worried about Mo Qi "not eating well", but he also needs to supervise the boy every day to not drink too much juice.
But the results are also very obvious.
Half a month later, it can be seen clearly that the boy is a little rounder than when he first came, and the whole person looks more adorable. Especially when he laughs, there will be a fleshy little dimple on his left cheek. Every time he sees it, he really wants to poke it twice.
Such a obedient and good sonny. Before when he was raised by Mo Tiangao family's, he was thin and weak, and his spirit wasn't good. It's obvious that that family didn't put their heart into caring for the boy at all.
With a natural expression, Mo Yitao took a sip of the half full orange juice that he robbed from the boy and silently added another criminal charge to Mo Tiangao's family in his heart.
