Chapter 4

Mo Yan tilted her head and her hair covered her face, hiding her emotions. A boiling hot drop of tear fell from her hair and hit the back of Paang Jiayi's hand.

"Mo Yan, I never think you and Gu Yichen will have a good result. That man is stupid. You've been with him for three years, don't you know?"

Paang Jiayi's tone was impetuous, and she didn't care if there were any outsiders in the clinic.

"I won't stop you. I want you to see for yourself if this man has you in his heart. You're only twenty-five years old. Do you really want to lock yourself up in this marriage?"

Tears trickled down her face.

Mo Yan looked up at Paang Jiayi and said in a hoarse voice, "It's too late. I have been locked completely."

"You're really..."

Paang Jiayi was exasperated. Just as she was about to teach her a lesson, her face suddenly changed when she saw the bruise on Mo Yan's forehead.

"Did he hit you?"

Mo Yan wiped away her tears and smiled self-deprecatingly. "If he really hit me, at least he still cares about me a little..."

She came to her senses.

Mo Yan caught a glimpse of the man on the bed and stopped talking that. She whispered, "You go to work. I'll leave first."

"Go ask Gu Yichen?"

"No."

Mo Yan paused. "Yichen doesn't want me to know, so I won't know anything. I'll wait for him to come home."

Paang Jiayi looked at her back and came back to her senses after a long time. She turned around and saw the man in the seat. Inevitably, she was a little embarrassed. She smiled and said, "Mr. Lea, I'm sorry to bother you."

The man looked calm as if he didn't mind what happened just now. He lowered his eyelashes slightly and said in a cold voice, "Continue."

...

Out of the hospital, a Bentley was parked on the side of the road. An arm dangled out of the car window just then.

The man curled his lips and walked away.

"Second brother, what do you think of this car? Cheng Jun is smart. When he heard that your car was hit this morning, he immediately sent a new one over. I've tried it. It's quite comfortable."

The man in the driver's seat turned his head and said, "How's your hand?"

"It's okay."

The man looked at the splint in his hand and said faintly, "I have to wear it for two weeks. Have you picked Hairball up?"

Qiao Yujin rolled his eyes. "You only care about your cat. I've already taken it back."

As he spoke, Qiao Yujin showed the back of his hand to him. "I was worried that it would be uncomfortable during the long trip, but as soon as this little beast came out, it scratched me."

The man glanced at Qiao Yujin's hand faintly and opened his thin lips slightly. "It doesn't use enough strength. Hairball must be starving."

Qiao Yujin was speechless.

When the car got on the right track, Qiao Yujin suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, second brother, Lawyer Luo just called. The girl who ran away last night has been found. Guess who?"

The man in the back seat took out a cigarette and put it between his fingers. His movements were skillful and elegant. He had a big mature slicked-back hair and his legs were crossed on the back of the seat. The long woolen coat he just wore was thrown aside. He was wearing only a camel-colored woolen sweater. His left arm was hung by a splint in the chest, which was not dispirited at all but a little sexy.

Ignoring Qiao Yujin's words, he reached out to touch his body, raised his eyelids, and said faintly, "Fire."

The series of casual movements made by him suddenly had a different charm, which only belonged to mature men.

Qiao Yujin threw the lighter at him, opened the window a little, and continued to gossip. "It's the daughter of the Mo family."

Lea Jingyu breathed out smoke and sat there quietly without answering or any other expression.

"Three months ago, the son of the Mo family lost 500 million yuan in Las Vegas City! I wondered why the girl who can afford to drive the Audi A8 still needed this money. But if it's the daughter of the Mo family, it's not surprising."

"Watch the road."

Seeing Qiao Yujin saying excitedly, Lea Jingyu frowned and warned him.

Qiao Yujin immediately became more disciplined but he continued to say. "Lawyer Luo said that the girl had a good attitude towards admitting her mistake, but she wants to tell you face to face about the compensation. The maintenance fee for our car is only a few hundred thousand, right? Is the Mo family already so poor? No wonder even her husband, the Gu family, didn't dare to take care of this matter. It looks like the trouble is serious."

Lea Jingyu lowered his eyes, put out the cigarette, and said in a low voice, "Stop by the supermarket."

"Why?"

"Buy some dried fish for Hairball."

Qiao Yujin...

"Second brother, are you going to talk to that girl? It is said that Miss Mo is one of the most talented and beautiful famous ladies in Yun'an City. Since you've seen so many foreign sexy girls abroad, you should try something new, right?"

"... Shut up."

In Yun'an City in the past, the first snow was always light. When it was over, the ground would be dry. But this year, it had been snowing for a long time.

The snow hadn't stopped since yesterday afternoon.

The snow was not heavy, but after the whole night, the snow on the road could cover people's ankles.

The sanitation workers worked harder than ever. They piled up the snow on the roadside again and again, but the road was still not clean. It was wet and slippery, causing many drivers to curse.

At this moment, Gu Yichen's heart was like this year's first snow, complicated and messy. His hand holding the steering wheel tightened and loosened, and he did not even notice the green light.

The cars behind him whistled again and again, and the woman in the passenger seat looked up at him and whispered, "Yichen, Yichen?"

Gu Yichen regained his senses and met her gentle eyes. His heart suddenly calmed down. He lowered his eyes and whispered an apology before starting the car.

It was quiet in the car. The familiar smell of lilies invaded his sense of smell and calmed his nerves. Gu Yichen's heart softened.

"How have you been all these years?"

Thousands of words choked in his throat, and he could only say such a pale greeting.

When Gu Yichen came back, it was almost ten o'clock in the night. Instead of going back to the Gu family, he went to his villa in the South Corner.

As soon as he pushed the door open, he tripped and almost fell. The room was filled with the strong smell of alcohol. Gu Yichen frowned and pressed the switch. Only then did he see that there was a person sitting next to the shoe cabinet in the entrance. The smell of alcohol came from here.

The light was dazzling.

Mo Yan covered her eyes and vaguely saw a tall figure who slightly curved his lips.

"Yichen, you're back."

As she spoke, she slowly got up from the ground and said with grievance, "Where have you been? I've been waiting for you all night."

Gu Yichen frowned and looked at her coldly. "Who allowed you to come here?"

"I can't find you anywhere, so I come to wait here. I'm afraid you will never come back."

Mo Yan said awkwardly. Her cheeks were red and her eyes were watery. She looked beautiful. Gu Yichen was momentarily absent-minded.

Mo Yan had already reached out to hug his waist and stood on tiptoe to kiss him.

"Yichen, I want to give you a child, Yichen..."

Gu Yichen turned his head, reached out and pushed her away, sneering, "What's it for this time? The Mo Group?

Mo Yan, you're not qualified to have a child with me."

Mo Yan was stunned and looked at him with confused eyes. She suddenly took a step back and panicked to look for her shoes. She muttered, "You're not Yichen. Yichen won't do this to me. You're not..."

After she finished speaking, she opened the door and ran out. Gu Yichen frowned and chased after her for two steps. Suddenly, he stopped. He stood there with a cold expression for a while and turned to go upstairs.
