Chapter 1239: Is He the Older Brother?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mo Yongheng no longer felt like fighting with Qi Yan when he saw that Tan Bengbeng was unwell.
His gaze was filled with concern. The moment he spoke, he reached out and attempted to check Tan Bengbeng’s pulse.
The emergency alarm within Qi Yan rang immediately!
He tilted his body and blocked himself in front of him. “Don’t you dare touch her!”
He was fuming with anger earlier on and had forgotten that Bengbeng was pregnant with his “Little King of h.e.l.l”. As such, it would have been too late if Mo Yongheng wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h her away.
He had made his Bengbeng angry for no reason and had nearly exposed her pregnancy.
If Tan Bengbeng found out about her pregnancy from Mo Yongheng, he would definitely die a terrible death…
Qi Yan’s nerves tightened and he stared at Mo Yongheng cautiously.
“Have you studied medicine?” Tan Bengbeng looked at Mo Yongheng in surprise.
Not only was he proficient in enterprise management, but he also had skillful moves. And now, he even had some knowledge of medicine…
Mo Yongheng’s eyes flickered slightly and he said indifferently, “I used to fall sick very often when I was young. I took up a medical specialization afterward, partly so that I could better take care of the elderly head.”
“Took it up afterward…”
Tan Bengbeng mumbled this sentence repeatedly.
Her gaze turned downcast.
She had thought that he had studied medicine when he was young, just like her.
She shook her head to stop her wild thoughts.
It had been years since her elder brother had died, so it was impossible that Mo Yongheng was her brother.
For some reason, Tan Bengbeng suddenly felt an empty feeling in her heart…
For a split second, her elder brother seemed to have appeared before her eyes when she saw Mo Yongheng punching Qi Yan angrily.
Her elder brother had behaved like this when he was young too.
He was always protecting her from the bullying of the other children.
If a boy of similar age wanted to play with her, her brother would beat him up and chase him away too.
Her elder brother always said that she was still young and insensible and that those boys were wicked scoundrels; if he didn’t keep a close eye on her, she would be kidnapped by them…
Her brother was still healthy at that point in time.
He was always buying tasty food for her, and he would also accompany her to read under the sun when the weather turned cooler.
She used to take a long time to memorize those superbly difficult medical terms, but her brother was able to remember them with just a single glance.
He had also taught her all the things that she was unsure of. When she was unable to complete her mission, or when she made a mistake, her brother was the one who got punished in her place…
When she was young, she used to think that he was a knight in s.h.i.+ning armor who was sent by the heavens to protect her; as long as her brother was around, no one would dare to bully her.
She loved her brother the most!
However, her brother fell ill afterward.
She was still young at that time and her family members did not allow her to probe into it.
She only knew that her brother had suffered from a very, very serious illness, and he pa.s.sed away soon after.
She was devastated and she mourned for a long time. Whenever she heard the word “brother”, she would start to cry.
Her family members were worried about her and forbade anyone from mentioning anything about her brother.
From then on, she no longer had a brother.
Afterward, she turned more and more introvert and became someone who did not like to speak. Then, she was sent for training before she was a.s.signed to stay by Nian Xiaomu’s side and protect her.
Xiao Mumu became her young owner, as well as her only friend.
The word “brother” became the deepest wound in her heart, and she would never take the initiative to talk about it to anyone.
Apart from the other time on the island, when Qi Yan found her name weird and asked if her parents had picked her off the streets.
At that time, she could not help it and told him that she had got an elder brother.
Seeing that Tan Bengbeng’s expression had become a little weird, Qi Yan could not be bothered about anything else and cast Mo Yongheng a glance.
He said coldly, “Aren’t you here to retrieve the antidote? Take it and leave!”
As Qi Yan spoke, he reached out for a silver-colored box that was sitting beside his bodyguard and placed it onto the coffee table.
