296 Chapter 296. Protecting The Secret
Mo Qian nodded his head lightly. His handso face was still as calm and composed as ever. He felt warm towards Li Zhen’s concern and friendly greetings as an elder!
The Mo family was a hundred-year-old aristocratic family in City H. Their deep roots and vast connections were beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Grandma Mo and old man Li Zhen had known each other for a long ti. These two super aristocratic families in City H had always connected.
Therefore, Li Zhen looked at Mo Qian as if he was looking at a junior. He was naturally familiar with and close to him.
However, if one were to compare Mo Qian to Zhuang Xian, Li Zhen would probably still choose his beloved little rascal of a granddaughter, Zhuang Xian.
Mo Qian’s previous words seed very polite on the surface and even a little distant. However, if you think about it carefully, you will find many different things.
Mo Qian was quite a sweet talker. He concealed his closeness with Zhuang Xian and changed it to a collaboration between two companies. That was why they were so close. It was also related to the fact that Zhuang Xian had treated his leg!
Mo Qian’s seemingly subtle and considerate actions were nothing like that in the eyes of the intelligent Li Zhen.
His pair of wise eyes seed to have seen through many things, and the gaze he gave Mo Qian was more scrutinizing and exciting! He thought to himself; Mo Qian is an excellent child. They would be a good match if he were to be paired with Zhuang Xian! However, Xian ‘er had yet to react. Mo Qian would probably have to wait for a long ti.
Li Zhen thought of sothing, and his mouth’s corners slowly curled into a smile.
Naturally, Mo Qian did not know that Li Zhen had already thought of so many things in such a short ti. He nodded slightly, smiled warmly and respectfully, then slowly replied, “Zhuang Xian may not have such abilities, but she knows the green-robed apothecary from Saint Valley dicine.”
“Saint Valley dicine has always been mysterious and reclusive. Our family had spent a lot of effort and money, but we still couldn’t find the way. But fortunately, the heavens let et Zhuang Xian, which also ans that I have indirectly t my Savior, Qing Yi! Now that Zhuang Xian is in the middle to help with the dicine master in green, I hope my legs will be treated!”
As Mo Qian spoke, he turned to look at Zhuang Xian’s lowered face. There seed to be a dark light hidden in his eyes. That was his little secret with Zhuang Xian.
He had promised Zhuang Xian that he would never reveal anything to anyone. He had promised to help Zhuang Xian protect the secrets she didn’t want others to know.
From Li Zhen’s attitude and words, Mo Qian could tell that old man Li did not seem to know that Zhuang Xian was the green-robed apothecary of Saint Valley dicine.
Hence, covering up for Zhuang Xian was Mo Qian’s only job!
That’s right; Mo Qian knew that Zhuang Xian was Qing Yi. He had only been playing along with Zhuang Xian’s act. Since Zhuang Xian didn’t want Mo Qian to know about this, he had no choice but to keep it a secret! This man’s gentlemanly and ticulous nature in many aspects was sothing that even Zhuang Xian could not fully understand.
Even if this was a fact that the two of them had never revealed, in Mo Qian’s heart, it was also a secret that he had to protect Zhuang Xian!
Li Zhen’s brows furrowed in confusion. He looked at Zhuang Xian with a deep frown, then turned to Mo Qian and asked, “So, you ca to the military training base to find a doctor? And this doctor is Zhuang Xian?”
Mo Qian nodded his head lightly and smiled bitterly. “That’s right, Grandpa Li. I didn’t lie to you just now!”
As he said this, he turned to look at Zhuang Xian, who had been silent since she sat down. He said gently, “If you don’t believe , you can ask Zhuang Xian! Am I right, Zhuang Xian?”
Zhuang Xian, “…”
‘I have to thank you, young master Mo! I’m trying my best to avoid speaking, but you want to answer the question when you open your mouth!’
Zhuang Xian could feel her grandfather’s and Mo Qian’s gazes on her face simultaneously. She cleared her throat and nodded.
Mo Qian seed to have finally noticed that sothing was wrong. He frowned and confusedly asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
