“Some people? How many?”
Mo Yichen scratched his head, “There has been more and more customers since I came to the dessert shop. Some would talk to me, but I just ignored them.”
“Yichen, don’t you really understand Gu Yan? Or you just pretend that you don’t know her mind? The problem is so obvious but you still can’t find it.” Uncle Mo then laughed.
“What do you mean? What should I know?”
“You are really foolish. Gu Yan didn’t want to drive you away. She was just jealous. You fool. How couldn’t you recognize that?” Uncle Mo said.
“How do you know Gu Yan was jealous rather than angry? She even asked me to get out.” Mo Yichen was a little pleasantly surprised after hearing what Uncle Mo said.
They clinked the glasses and drank another glass of beer.
“Think about it. There were so many customers who went to the dessert shop every day because of you, and some of them even chatted you up. Now, if Gu Yan were accosted, would you be jealous?”
“Women are always unwilling to express their true thoughts. Even if she asked you to leave, what she really hoped was that you could stay. I think Gu Yan still loves you, but she just doesn’t say it out for some reasons.”
Mo Yichen thought about it carefully, and felt that what Uncle Mo said made sense. His depression suddenly disappeared, so he said, “Cheers. Thank you. Now I understand her thoughts.”
Mo Yichen had a better mood now. After drinking off the beer, they ordered another two crates. Mo Yichen was in high spirit tonight. It seemed that he wouldn’t get drunk no matter how much he drank. Uncle Mo didn’t refuse because he was unwilling to dampen Mo Yichen’s spirit. In addition, they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so it seemed that they had plenty to talk about.
They drank until late at night. They couldn’t drink anymore, and walked out the restaurant.
By this time, Gu Yan had already finished her work and arrived at home.
She rested for a while and then cooked for herself despite the tiredness from work. She had become accustomed to this daily routine and lifestyle in such a long time.
She went to work and returned home directly every day without any entertainment.
Gu Yan was cooking while thinking about what had happened today.
“Mo Yichen should dare to chat with other women in my presence! I asked him to get out and he really left. He is really a fool, a male chauvinist pig!”
Male chauvinist was more annoying than cancer!
“He said he came to apologize, but that was all his perseverance? It’s really maddening!” Gu Yan was like a perverse girl when she was angry. Such a temper was not annoying but likeable.
Gu Yan got lost in thought, and forgot that she was cooking. She didn’t realize it until the water in the pot boiled and scalded her.
She immediately turned off the heat and blew her scalded fingers.
“Mo Yichen, it is all your fault. Because of you, my fingers were scalded.” Gu Yan blamed Mo Yichen audibly. If Mo Yichen knew that Gu Yan were scalded while thinking about him, he would feel heartbroken.
Gu Yan struggled to finish the cooking despite the pain from her fingers. She was about to have the meal when her phone rang.
“Who would call me now?” She thought.
She picked up the phone and found that it was Manla. “Hey, dear. What are you doing?”
Manla said affectionately.
“Well. I came back home, cooked for myself, and scalded my fingers.” Gu Yan pretended to be pitiful.
“Why were you so careless? What happened? Is it serious? Did you apply medicine?” Manla asked worriedly when she heard that Gu Yan was scalded.
“I’m all right. You finally get time to call me today, my little busy bee?”
“I just finished the meeting, so I can get off work early today. I remembered I haven’t contacted you for a long time, so I called you. How are you doing? Have you contacted Mo Yichen?” Manla began to gossip.
Gu Yan became angry after hearing the name and complained, “Don’t even mention him. Otherwise, I would get angry.”
“What’s the matter? It seems that you have contacted each other recently.”
After Gu Yan told Manla what had happened during Mo Yichen’s stay, Manla thought that Mo Yichen was so devoted to Gu Yan.
“He’s just a complete fool. He really pissed me off.”
“Why? Didn’t he come to explain to you?”
“He came to chat up other women in my dessert shop! Since he stayed in the dessert shop every day, the turnover had doubled. Many women came to see him and chatted him up.” Gu Yan pouted, talking about her unhappiness.
“Isn’t that good?” Manla joked.
“I really couldn’t stand it anymore, so I asked him to get out. But he really left and didn’t come back again! Don’t you think it is annoying?” Gu Yan said, full of anger.
After hearing what Gu Yan said, Manla also felt that Mo Yichen was not easily understandable. She said, “This is the first time I have heard such a person. His emotional quotient must be negative. Otherwise how couldn’t he understand such an obvious thing!”
“That’s right. He simply lacks a sense of romance. He never followed my words before. Why did he become so obedient this time? I asked him to get out and he really left. He hasn’t come back again since then.”
“It’s ok. Don’t be angry. It can be proved that he still loves you since he came to find you. Maybe you can leave the past alone and go back with him. I think he really wants to be with you. In addition, it was not all his fault.”
Gu Yan was with tangled emotions now. She didn’t know how to make the choice. Although they loved each other, they had encountered a host of troubles and suffered quite a lot.
Gu Yan couldn’t make the decision and wanted to ask Manla for her opinion. She said, “Manla, what do you think? What should I do?” She felt that she couldn’t handle this issue by herself.
However, Manla answered, “Sorry dear. I’m afraid that I can’t help you analyze it right now. I have to hang up now. I have something else to do. I’ll contact you later.” Then Manla hung up.
Manla’s behavior made Gu Yan even sadder. She felt that she had always been alone. No one worried about her. No one accompanied her. No one cared about her feelings.
The man she loved didn’t understand her and lacked the sense of romance. Meanwhile, her best friend Manla had no time to care about her because Manla was working overtime and rushing around every day. At the thought of these things, Gu Yan felt very upset.
In order to get rid of the thoughts, Gu Yan hurriedly finished the meal and tidied up. She went to bed after washing, because she was tired with these thoughts. She was really exhausted every day because of these things.
