Chapter 679
“I came to see you, who is this?”
“He’s my brother, An Ji. Come in and let’s talk,” An Ruo smiled and invited him in.
After introductions, An Ji and Mo Hua became acquainted with each other. Given that he was An Ruo’s brother, Mo Hua naturally treated him much better.
However, An Ji’s reaction was quite subdued, very calm, as if he didn’t care about his identity.
An Ruo went to the kitchen to cook for them, and Mo Hua followed to help. He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, and An Ruowei was startled, uncomfortably shifting her body.
“Don’t do that, it would be awkward if Xiao Ji saw,” she whispered to him.
The man held her even tighter, resting his chin on her shoulder, “Haven’t seen you for two days, missed you.”
“Xiao Ji suddenly came back, I haven’t seen him for seven years, so I couldn’t help wanting to spend more time with him. Sorry, don’t mind it,” she said apologetically.
“Give me a kiss, and I won’t mind,” he bargained.
An Ruo was about to tease him for being unreasonable, but he quickly pecked her face and then contentedly let go of her.
Her face turned slightly red, and she only glared at him before bowing her head to wash vegetables.
The man helped her wash, and couldn’t help asking softly, “How come I didn’t know you had a brother?”
“We’ve been apart for too long, so I never mentioned it to you.”
“Why were you separated?”
An Ruo offered a brief explanation, but generally, he understood the gist of it.
“I know that school.” Mo Hua frowned slightly, “It’s the Black Swan School in Country A, swan is the word for swan, so their emblem is an S.”
“Black Swan? That’s a strange name,” An Ruo mumbled in confusion.
“Yeah, I thought it was strange too,” Mo Hua chuckled.
He didn’t tell her that the school was called Black Swan because in Country A, a black swan represents evil and darkness, unconstrained by any rules.
And moreover…
“How do you know about that school?” An Ruo’s question interrupted his thoughts.
“Actually, I used to be a criminal detective, as a detective, you learn more than ordinary people.”
An Ruo was surprised, “You were a criminal detective? You never mentioned it.”
“Eh, it’s nothing to talk about, it’s not any remarkable profession,” Mo Hua said nonchalantly with a smile.
“If being a criminal detective isn’t anything special, then is the FBI and…” she thought of the word ’secret agent’, and then of Tang Yuchen.
“And what?”
“Forgot those terms. In my eyes, your work is very remarkable.”
“What about my current job as a civil officer?” Mo Hua leaned closer to her, pressing for an answer.
An Ruo quickly nodded with a laugh, “Just as remarkable!”
The two of them chatted and laughed in the kitchen, and cooking seemed to pass the time much more quickly.
The three of them had a sumptuous meal, after which Mo Hua suddenly asked An Ruo, “Do you have any stomach medicine here?”
“What’s wrong? Is your stomach upset?” An Ruo asked with concern.
“Hmm.”
“No, I’ll go down and buy some for you, I’ll be right back.”
Once she left, An Ji spoke coldly to Mo Hua, “You don’t have a stomach ailment, do you?”
Mo Hua gave a wry smile, “You saw right through me, yes, I deliberately sent her away.”
“What do you want to talk to me about?” An Ji asked indifferently, his demeanor neither hurried nor slow, neither servile nor overbearing. Without a certain composure, one couldn’t achieve the expression he had.
“I heard from An Ruo about your past. I’m guessing you’re a graduate from Black Swan School, aren’t you?”
“No comment.”
