Chapter 436 - Mo Yichen’s departure

Gu Yan couldn’t figure out her thoughts now.

What about Mo Yichen?

He knew that he would get Gu Yan into trouble if he continued his behavior.

Therefore, Mo Yichen sent a message to Gu Yan and left after deep consideration.

He decided to return to his own city.

After returning to the company, Mo Yichen focused all his energy on the work. He immersed himself in work to relieve his missing for Gu Yan. Gu Yan had the same thoughts with Mo Yichen.

Since Mo Yichen reappeared, Gu Yan had concerned with him all the time. Now that Mo Yichen disappeared again, she felt a huge loss.

People usually got into a situation where they thought it was nothing special when they owned something, but regretted their choices once they lost it. However, they were unable or unwilling to make up for it when they realized.

When Mo Yichen was dealing with the company’s affairs, his phone rang. He had no idea who would call him at this time.

“Hello?” Mo Yichen answered the phone with a trace of confusion. A familiar voice sounded from the phone.

“Yichen, are you busy today?” It was Uncle Mo. After a short greeting, Uncle Mo told Mo Yichen that he had returned home.

Mo Yichen said in surprise,

“Uncle? Are you back?”

There was a bit noisy from the phone with various sounds. It seemed that Uncle Mo just got off the plane.

And what he said later confirmed Mo Yichen’s guess.

“I just get off the plane. I didn’t tell you because I knew you were busy, but we should have a dinner tonight.”

Hearing the familiar sound, Mo Yichen voiced his acceptance excitedly.

He was unexpected that Uncle Mo had return home!

“Of course! I know a good hot pot restaurant around.” Mo Yichen said after thinking for a short while. He knew that hot pot was Uncle Mo’s favorite.

“Ha-ha. You know me pretty well. I’ve been eager for that when I was abroad.” Uncle Mo responded with laughter.

They continued chatting, and it seemed that they couldn’t stop talking. Fortunately, Uncle Mo stopped it.

“Let’s end here. I’m still at the airport. I’ll call you when I arrive at the restaurant.” Uncle Mo finished the talk, asked Mo Yichen for the address and then hung up.

“Huh…” Mo Yichen had a long chat with Uncle Mo and didn’t realize that an hour had passed.

“Uh, that was…” Mo Yichen looked at the time again in disbelief. He didn’t realize that he had talked for such a long time with Uncle Mo.

“Am I too excited?

I just talked about my own stuff but didn’t consider that Uncle Mo just came back. He didn’t interrupt me but kept responding with laughter.

Maybe I’m really under too much pressure.”

Mo Yichen thought with a little confusion. He didn’t expect that he, who was always taciturn, could talk for so long.

An hour! He could only speak for half an hour at most previously even when talking about the business.

Maybe Mo Yichen didn’t realize that he was put under great pressure for the affairs about Gu Yan. He chose to forget by immersing himself in work, but that only made him more painful.

However, Mo Yichen, who was a bit clumsy in emotional affairs, would not sense it at all.

He only felt confused and overwhelmed.

After pondering for quite a while, Mo Yichen stood up as if he was suddenly awoken and then walked quickly outside.

“Uncle is about to arrive at any minute.”

The restaurant was just near Mo Yichen’s company. Mo Yichen didn’t choose the place for his own convenience. It was because this restaurant was really popular and food there was excellent.

Thus, a steady stream of customers came to this restaurant every day.

Mo Yichen looked at the lively diners. The laughter, loud shouts, the aroma of various hot pot ingredients and sweaty guests made him feel an unusual trace of tranquility instead.

“Here!” Mo Yichen was attracted by a voice when he was looking for Uncle Mo.

It was his uncle. Mo Yichen felt excited and walked toward Uncle Mo.

“Here you are. Let me ask the waiter to serve the food.” Uncle Mo looked at Mo Yichen but said no more. He waved to a waiter, and then asked the waiter to serve the food.

Mo Yichen felt that Uncle Mo might want to talk with him about something special, but he just sat down without much thought and started a topic.

“Uncle, why do you come back from abroad? Aren’t you busy in business?”

Mo Yichen had always admired Uncle Mo. They didn’t have a significant difference in age, but Uncle Mo had already formed his own company abroad which was taking off.

In addition, because they were almost in the same age, Mo Yichen and Uncle Mo were more like brothers.

Mo Yichen had few friends in his childhood, and Uncle Mo always played with him, so he told many things to Uncle Mo rather than his parents.

“Didn’t I just tell you? Oh, I was in a hurry and didn’t explain it clearly. The basic framework of my company abroad is almost complete, and it can be operated without me now, so I decided to return home.”

“Return home?” Mo Yichen said in surprise. He didn’t expect that Uncle Mo would give him such a big surprise.

“Does it mean that Uncle Mo will stay for a long time? I have few relatives now. His stay will be a big help.” Mo Yichen thought.

“Well, I haven’t decided yet. I will make an investigation first.” Uncle Mo smiled and answered.

Mo Yichen was about to continue the conversation when he was startled by what the waiter brought.

“Here are the two crates of beer you ordered, sir.” The waiter put down the crates laboriously and went to serve others.

“What? Uncle, what do you want to do?” Mo Yichen said with startlement.

Mo Yichen was not frightened at these beers. He just couldn’t understand why Uncle Mo would order so many beers at the welcome dinner. Besides, he still got work to do later. It would be a problem if he got drunk.

But Uncle Mo just gave one reason that Mo Yichen couldn’t refuse.

“Today I finally returned home. There are no such meals and drinks abroad. Couldn’t you drink with me?” Mo Yichen didn’t know how to respond.

Mo Yichen kept silent for a while, and said resolutely,

“OK!”

Uncle Mo smiled and raised the glass, chinking the glass in Mo Yichen’s hand.

“Cheers!”
