Lin Qianru hurried to the apartnt.
For the past few days, Mo Roulan had been cooking the dinner after coming from the office. She didn’t want her to do the sa today that’s why she left the Chi Mansion as soon as she ca to know that she didn’t need to cook the dinner.
For as long as she rembered, she had never let her daughter hard work in the kitchen. She would prefer her to study inside her room and do sothing that would help her in her carrier building rather than spending her ti in the kitchen doing sothing that she could do.
It was enough that she knew how to cook and could do the sa in tis of urgency.
Sure enough, when she stepped inside her apartnt, she found Mo Roulan inside the kitchen.
"Mom, you are early today."
Lin Qianru nodded her head. She opened the door with the password so Mo Roulan didn’t get to know that she had co already.
Generally, Lin Qianru would not use passwords when Mo Roulan was ho and she preferred that her children do the sa when she was ho.
It might be unreasonable but she liked to see her children’s faces when she cos back ho after a long tiring day and she preferred to welco them back when they ca ho ...just like how she used to do when they were living in the town.
She didn’t want these small things to change because of the advanced technology in the city.
"Let do it."
Lin Qiianru as she tried to take the work from her daughter. However, Mo Roulan avoided the hand that was trying to take the ladle from her hands and said strictly.
"No, Go and rest inside your room. I will call you when the dinner is ready."
Lin Qianru frowned and wanted to refuse. However, Mo Roulan didn’t let her say anything and said
"No, Mom. I won’t let you cook dinner. Go and rest inside your room. If you don’t want to leave your job, then at least let your body have a proper rest so that I can rest assured."
Mo Roulan showed an expression that showed her displeasure really well.
So Lin Qianru went to her room silently. She didn’t want to argue with Mo Roulan about her job again.
No matter how many tis she would say that she didn’t get tired because of her job, Mo Roulan would not believe her. She couldn’t bla her as well.
Cooking required her to stand for a long ti ...especially with the different-different dishes that she had to cook for Chi Rong he gave her on the nu.
And the doctor had strictly asked her not to put much pressure on her muscles and not to tire her body out.
Even in the restaurant, they had in the town, Mo Roulan had rarely let her do the cooking. She had hired cooks with the money they had borrowed from the necklace. Only the seasonings used to be prepared by her.
The dinner went just like any other usual night. He Jian didn’t co to Mo family’s apartnt for the dinner tonight as well.
Lin Qianru asked her daughter if she knew anything about it but Mo Roulan shook her head. She thought sothing but then shook her thoughts away.
It would surely not be because she was dating Cheng Yang.
Why would he have any problem with this?
After dinner, she cleaned the dining room. This ti, Lin Qianru insisted to help her in washing the dishes and Mo Roulan only let her wipe the plates with the cloth after she had cleaned them.
While washing the plates, she couldn’t help but look at her mother’s face.
She didn’t know if it was rely her illusion but her mother’s face looked a little pale.
"Mom, I think we should go for a full body checkup once."
Lin Qianru stiffened imdiately.
She smiled maintaining her composure and asked Mo Roulan
"Why are you thinking of this suddenly?"
"Because you don’t look well."
Lin Qianru’s heart sank inside her chest as she looked at Mo Roulan’s frown. A part of her was intentionally avoiding this checkup. It was her body and she knew it very well.
How could she not know there was sothing wrong with her!
Her disease might be relapsing again.
But she didn’t want Mo Roulan to know about this. They have already wasted a huge sum of money on her health. They couldn’t do so anymore. This money ...she needed it for Mo Roulan’s and Mo Chen’s education.
She smiled and tried to assure her.
"That is because I am not resting properly. Don’t worry."
After that, she put the cloth in her hand on the kitchen slab and said
"I should go and rest now."
Finishing her words, she turned around to leave the kitchen before Mo Roulan could say anything else while the latter had a deep frown on her forehead all the while she washed the dishes.
After washing the dishes, she went to her brother’s room.
As she had thought, he was studying.
Mo Roulan knocked on the door and said
"Can I co inside if I am not disturbing Chenchen?"
"Jiejie"
Mo Chen who turned to look towards the door shook his head with a bored expression on his face as he said
"You know that you don’t need to ask."
Mo Roulan looked at him with narrowed eyes.
She felt as if she was a child and her brother was so kind of adult who was trying to tell her to behave.
She stepped inside the room and walked to stand behind the chair he was sitting on.
"What are you studying?"
Mo Roulan saw that it was one of his school textbooks on Chinese literature.
Her eyes went to the other stack of books that were placed on the table and she focused her attention on the matter that had been bothering her for the past few days.
She took out a book from the stack and flipped through it.
She didn’t notice but Mo Chen’s calm eyes flickered with surprise and fear when he saw her actions and he went stiff when he heard her question
"Chenchen, did you bring those books from the school library?"
