Yun Qishen

Chapter 2319 Because of Love
After greeting Mo He, the beautiful woman quickly grabbed Mo Tianlan's hand and pulled him outside, saying, "...Tianlan, let's go back!"

"Okay, Mother..." Mo Tianlan was passively pulled away by the beautiful woman. Before the two disappeared around the corner, Mo Tianlan turned around and waved to Mo He, indicating that they would meet again next time.

"That's why I said you're different..."

Mo He muttered something to himself; he would never forget Mo Tianlan's glance back then. Her smile, her wave of the hand—every gesture felt like sharp shackles, binding Mo He's heart tightly.

"Does He'er like your cousin?" A familiar voice came from behind Mo He; it was Mo Wangchuan.

"Father?!" Mo He bowed respectfully in alarm. "We just bumped into each other by chance, nothing happened, Tianlan and I—"

"It seems you like it very much." Mo Wangchuan still had that kind and peaceful attitude, only he looked a bit younger than Mo Langqin remembered him.

"Father?" Seeing Mo Wangchuan's calm attitude, Mo He's joy was barely contained. He suppressed the smile on his face and asked Mo Wangchuan again, "Do you really agree?"

Mo Wangchuan lowered his head, looking directly into Mo He's eyes, which couldn't hide his joy. "You can leave her in the main family, or you can have a child with her. Take her with you as you please. But He'er, don't let women bewitch your mind. I don't want what happened to your elder brother to happen again."

"I know my father! Nothing like what happened to my elder brother will ever happen again!"

“Among your brothers, He’er, you are indeed the most similar to me.” Mo Wangchuan reached out and gently patted Mo He’s shoulder. His tone was cold, but it was enough to make Mo He’s blood boil. “Go, you should know what to do.”

"Yes, Father!" Mo He knelt down, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and then quickly left.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and Mo Tianlan's mother suddenly fell ill and died. Mo Tianlan was then taken in by Mo He to live with the master of the house.

Mo He pointed to a uniquely decorated house and introduced it to Mo Tianlan with a smile, "This is the house arranged for you to stay in. A short walk ahead is the garden. It's filled with your favorite roses. Do you like it, Tianlan?"

Mo Tianlan narrowed her swollen eyes, forcing a bitter smile, "I like it very much..."

Mo He pushed open the door to Mo Tianlan's room but did not step in. He patted Mo Tianlan's head with concern, "Then you should go in and rest well... I am also very sad about what happened to Aunt. How could someone who was perfectly healthy suddenly... Ha... Tianlan, now you need someone to take care of you. I know you are most afraid of being alone, so I begged Father to bring you to live with the main family."

"Um... thank you, Third Brother." Mo Tianlan nodded slightly.

Mo He was charmed by Mo Tianlan's actions. He blushed slightly and looked away from her. "Don't be too sad. You have to keep looking forward... I... I'll come see you again tomorrow." "Third Brother!" Mo Tianlan quickly grabbed Mo He, who was trying to run away. She looked up at the back of his neck, which was instantly stained red. "Don't go... I'm scared to be alone. Please, stay with me a little longer, okay?"

How can there be such a lovely person?
Mo He's heart was bursting with joy!
"Ahem..." Mo He cleared his throat and turned to look at Mo Tianlan again. He smiled gently, "Okay, Tianlan. I'll stay with you as long as you want. Don't be afraid, your third brother is here..."

The memories that followed were very fragmented; it seemed that Mo He and Mo Tianlan had spent a very, very long time together.

Sometimes Mo He would say with concern, "Tianlan, your palms are so cold. How come your hands are so cold in such hot weather?"

Sometimes Mo He would mutter softly, "Tianlan, one day I will marry you, you must wait for me."

But in these fragmented memories, Mo Tianlan never truly responded to him.

It seemed like several years had passed in their memories, and both Mo He and Mo Tianlan had shed their youthful appearances. Mo He had grown into a robust man, while Mo Tianlan had become increasingly beautiful.

"You're leaving the Mo family to travel down the mountain?" Mo He grabbed Mo Tianlan's hand with a worried expression. "Tianlan, it's very unsafe for a female ghost master to travel outside, no matter how powerful you are! Why don't I go with you, so we can look after each other, hmm?"

Mo Tianlan politely pushed Mo He's hand away, smiling, "Don't worry about my third brother, I want to go out and explore on my own! Third brother, you're going into seclusion to cultivate, aren't you? Perhaps you'll be out of seclusion by the time I return. Then I'll have many stories to share with you, aren't you looking forward to it?"

"Then you must be careful."

"Okay...Third Brother..."

On the day Mo Tianlan left the Mo family, Mo He noticed a subtle difference in her. The smile she wore when she left the Mo family was the most radiant and beautiful smile of her life.

He'er, do you remember what I told you?

Mo He heard Mo Wangchuan's voice in his mind. He clenched his fists tightly as he watched Mo Tianlan's departing figure: "I will never become like my older brother."

As it turned out, he did not suffer the same fate as his elder brother. But ultimately, it wasn't a good ending either.
