Chapter 437 - Uncle Mo’s enlightenment

Mo Yichen and Uncle Mo had several drinks soon.

Clinking the glasses, they continued drinking, and there were already a dozen bottles by their feet.

Uncle Mo said to Mo Yichen as if he suddenly remembered something,

“Let’s have a talk.”

“What?” Mo Yichen didn’t drink in this way for a long time and was a bit drunk. He was taken aback when he heard Uncle Mo’s words.

“About that woman.”

“…” Mo Yichen became silent as soon as he heard the words. After a long time, he took a swig of beer and said,

“Uncle, how did you know?”

“Me? Since childhood, as long as you are plagued by something, you would become very talkative. Now it is obvious that there is something wrong with you.”

Uncle Mo shook his head, and said as if he knew Mo Yichen very well.

And he actually did.

Mo Yichen also knew that he had this habit.

“But how do you know that it is about a woman?” Mo Yichen asked, puzzled. Even though Uncle Mo knew his habit, how could he know the reason?

Although Uncle Mo was a bit drunk, he said in a tone of a seasoned person.

“A man’s troubles are no more than career and love. From our chat just now, I knew that you have done well in your career. Then there is only one possibility, love. Well, who is that girl?”

The older, the wiser. Mo Yichen shook his head. He really needed to pour out his heart.

Afterwards, with a tipsy feeling and the thoughts to pour out his heart, Mo Yichen told all about him and Gu Yan to Uncle Mo, including his thoughts and everything he saw.

His words brought about a long silence.

“Now you know why I’m upset.” Mo Yichen broke the silence first, “I don’t know how to change her mind now. I had used various methods, but she was still indifferent to me.”

Uncle Mo picked up the glass and took a sip, “I know your feelings, but you should put yourself in her shoes.”

“You’ve hurt her so much. It is reasonable even if she didn’t forgive you forever. She is a treasure to her parents and has no reason to be wronged so much because of you, right?”

Mo Yichen nodded his approval, “I know, but I have apologized and planned to explain everything to her, hoping that she could forgive me. But she didn’t give me the chance.”

Uncle Mo patted Mo Yichen on his shoulder, saying, “Women sometimes would become petulant, so please don’t split hairs. Be patient. Maybe she was regretful after you left.”

Mo Yichen shook his head. Raising his head, he guzzled a glass of beer and said, “I don’t think she would be regretful at all. To obtain her forgiveness, I stayed in the dessert shop where she worked every day after I found her. The first several days were fine. She was busy and I just sat and waited quietly, hoping that she would forgive me and talk to me. Nonetheless, in the last two days, she asked me to get out of the shop without any reasons.”

Mo Yichen felt angry when he thought of Gu Yan’s behavior. He came to apologize sincerely, but she asked him to get out.

Uncle Mo was confused, “There must be something wrong. You just mentioned that it was fine in the beginning. Then why did she suddenly become angry?”

“I don’t know. It happened suddenly without forewarning, like a volcanic eruption. I really had no chance to make any reaction.”

“No, it must be because of you. It is impossible for a woman to get angry for no reason.” Uncle Mo said affirmatively.

Although they were almost of the same age, Uncle Mo was obviously much more sensitive to emotional problems. Mo Yichen knew pretty well that he knew nothing about love.

Mo Yichen shook his head, saying that he didn’t know why.

“Since I’m your uncle, let me lend you a helping hand, you love idiot.”

“What have you done in the dessert shop?” Uncle Mo asked.

Mo Yichen frowned, “Nothing. I just stayed there every day to accompany her. She didn’t talk to me when she worked, so I just sat there alone.”

“Then were there any male friends who contacted her frequently?”

“No, a friend told me that she was usually alone, and barely went out with others. I also didn’t see any men contacting her during the days I stayed with her.” Mo Yichen frowned and said.

Now he was completely troubled by Gu Yan, as if she was his only spiritual support.

Before he found Gu Yan, he always thought that she would give him a chance to explain. And they would be reconciled and return to their happy times. However, he didn’t expect that Gu Yan was unwilling to talk to him. Maybe she didn’t want to mend the rift at all.

“That’s a bit weird. According to your words, you loved each other so much, so she shouldn’t have been so immovable. Besides, she didn’t fall in love with others and no one was chasing her. That’s pretty strange.” Uncle Mo didn’t know Gu Yan’s thoughts. After all, he was not very clear about their matter.

“Anyway, when I saw her this time, I could feel her resolute attitude. It seemed that she has changed.”

Uncle Mo comforted him, “Don’t think too much. Girls are fragile, and she had experienced such an incident. It is reasonable that she would change a little bit. You must understand her.”

Mo Yichen nodded, “After all, I’m a man. I must take more responsibility. I made mistakes before and hurt her. She shouldn’t have been treated that way. I would also be angry if I were her.”

Love required contributions from both sides. But you never knew how much your beloved one had done for you nor how much she/he had shouldered or suffered because of you.

“Then what did you do when she suddenly became angry that day? It is impossible for a woman to lose her temper for no reason.”

Uncle Mo’s question made Mo Yichen confused. Actually, he didn’t know what happened that day. He just stayed in the shop every day.

“I didn’t do anything. I just stayed in the dessert shop. Occasionally, some customers would come to talk to me but I didn’t respond.” Mo Yichen answered.
