Chapter 939: Steal My Wife
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Most adults lost the l.u.s.ter in their eyes as they grew older, and they experienced the trials of society. They also lost their smiles. But Gu Qingyao was different.
At that moment, Gu Qingyao was in her prime. Her eyes sparkled, and she was optimistic and cheerful. She was truly charming!
In the past, Yao Yao had been overseas, and no one in the capital knew of her existence. When she returned to China, she continued to keep a low profile, then quickly married him the following year. By the time the people in the capital realized that she existed, she was about to marry him.
Gu Qingyao only entered the line of sight of the capital’s various wealthy families when the Qiao and Qin families formally settled there. By that time, their wedding was fast approaching.
She was a young girl from good family background and was very pretty too. Mo Beihan could almost imagine how many people in the capital would want to steal his girlfriend if Gu Qingyao were still single.
Now, he had been away for a month. How was Yao Yao doing?
Would some foolish person in the capital try to steal her away?
Mo Beihan rubbed his forehead. That little devil. She was clearly a beautiful and intelligent girl from a wealthy family. Why was he so besotted with her?
He must quickly finish his work and see which fool was trying to get close to Yao Yao. He would break that person’s legs.

Mo Beihan was not being an alarmist when he thought someone would try to steal his wife.
Once the Qiao and the Qin families began investing, an increasing number of people would be witnessing such incredible wealth for the first time. Gu Qingyao’s status was just too alluring. So alluring that some people just could not stand it.
Among the wealthy families in the capital, the Mo family was very powerful and had a very high status. But recently, Old Master Mo had fallen severely ill and retired. Everyone knew that.
Right now, Mo Beihan was the master of the Mo family. That Mo Beihan had no real job and no power. He was not part of the system. How could someone like that compare with powerful people like them?
So at the moment, they were less wary of the Mo family.
In that case, if they wanted to steal Gu Qingyao, why shouldn’t they?
Once they got hold of Gu Qingyao, as long as she herself was willing, then their family would have the support of the Qiao, Gu and Qin families. They need not fear Mo Beihan.
The first person who thought of this was no other than Bai Chi.
Bai Chi had been taken by Gu Qingyao’s beauty right from the start. He a.s.sumed that the girl would surely be his, but events developed too rapidly and before he could do anything, Gu Qingyao was already married to Mo Beihan.
His regrets grew, especially when he found out what powers were behind Gu Qingyao.
If he had prioritized courting Gu Qingyao when he had first met her, he might be the one married to her now.
With the Qiao, Gu and Qin families to support him, he would lord it over the rest of the Bai family.
Perhaps, he might even become the master of the Bai family.
In the past, he would never have considered the position of master of the family.
That position had always been held by his older cousin, Bai Fei.
But now he saw that Mo Beihan had become the Mo family’s master because he had married Gu Qingyao. He immediately felt that if he married Gu Qingyao, then… he might also become the Bai family’s master?
When he thought of that, a flame of desire swept over Bai Chi.

Gu Qingyao had been very busy lately. The laboratory equipment would only be ready in a month, or even two to three months. She had already prepared the research material and handed it to her Senior. The basic equipment would arrive next month, and Senior could start working.
She would attend to other business first.
