Too tired.
This was the only feeling gu mohan had at the moment. When he thought about it, it seemed as if he had not been so tired even when he had just taken over the company and was so busy every day.
It was normal for him not to sleep all night, and he had to fight with his clients or peers who were waiting to see a joke. Even gu mohan, who was physically superior to the average person, could not bear it.
"Would you like some red wine? It can relieve fatigue." Su pan shook her goblet and smiled.
Gu mohan heaved a deep breath and straightened himself up with both arms on the armrest. Then he straightened his tie and refused, "No, you asked me to talk business. We can put aside our past relationship."
Gu mohan was right. Su pan did not ask him out to reminisce about the past, but to speak to him about his marriage to su yanbai on behalf of the su family.
"You should be clear about what we mean. I won't repeat it." Su pan still looked very talkative, her eyes narrowed into a long, thin arc behind the lenses.
"Then just say it. Do you agree or not?"
"No."
As soon as su pan finished speaking, gu mohan gave the answer without thinking.
Su pan seemed to have expected gu mohan to say this. After all, gu mohan and ye zhiqiao were still very close, but for his sister and for the su family, he could only be an evil person who broke up with each other.
"You have to think carefully about how long the gu family can last with the current situation." Su pan sipped a mouthful of red wine, nodded with satisfaction, and continued, "Uncle gu, you must know a lot more than I do as an outsider about how much effort you have put into working for the gu family. Now that he's old enough to hand the gu family over to you, you're ruining it. Ah..."
He sighed sorrowfully and shook his head, "And even if you really don't want anything, what about your parents? Living a good life for half a life, but living in poverty when you get old? Maybe they won't even be able to drink this glass of red wine."
Gu mohan's eyes swept over the glass in su pan's hand. The dark red liquid was slowly flowing, and the ripples gathered from the outside to the center.
"Thank you for your reminder." After staring at the wine glass for a few seconds, gu mohan regained his composure, as if the anxiety and hesitation had never existed.
Then he left and stood up, walking down the usual path with quick steps.
Su pan didn't want to persuade him, but in the end, she raised her voice and said, "Even if you have more confidence in yourself, you have to think twice before doing anything!"
Gu mohan walked past the door opened by the waiter expressionlessly. Su pan's words mingled with the wind outside. He seemed to have heard it, but he did not seem to have heard it.
As soon as she stepped out of the restaurant and returned to the car, mother gu's phone came after her.
You don't have to guess what she's going to say. Gu mohan was not in the mood to listen, but as his finger approached the hang up button, he suddenly remembered su pan's words.
Their parents are old, and gu shi is their life's work, just like their own children, watching gu shi become like this, they must be very anxious, gu father has a history of high blood pressure...
Gu mohan's heart softened as he thought about it. He shook his finger and clicked "Answer."
Sure enough, mother gu called to let him go home.
Gu mohan could have used the excuse that the company was busy, but he could not say anything when he refused, so he agreed.
His current position was not far from the gu family mansion, but the gu family mansion and ye zhiqiao's apartment were in two directions. He planned to go back and see ye zhiqiao's apartment. He hadn't seen her for a few days in the company, but now it seems that this plan can only be put on hold.
The black car started slowly and drove in the opposite direction to the person she loved.
At this moment, ye zhiqiao's apartment was hosting another guest, a guest who would never be happy if gu mohan knew about it.
Yi chen pushed the lunch box to the other side of the table, then lay on the table with his chin on his arm and said with a smile, "Eat more. Don't you like this soup best? You must finish it all today."
In the soup bowl, the fresh fish soup was giving off a strong fragrance, and just smelling it would make one feel more appetizing.
There were also four other dishes on the table, all of which were cooked by the chef of a five-star hotel.
These days, it was these things that made ye zhiqiao, who was depressed because of the rumors outside, have a rare appetite.
"Thank you, yi chen."
Even though she had said the same thing many times, ye zhiqiao couldn't help but thank her again.
Ever since the first day of public opinion, yi chen has come here to see her every day, three times a day, according to the meal time. I watched her eat with my own eyes. If she was in the mood to chat, yi chen would talk to her. If she was upset, yi chen would leave immediately.
The yi chen in front of me, I don't know when it started, but it was very different from the former yi chen who only respected himself.
Seeing that ye zhiqiao was in a daze after eating, yi chen picked up a pair of unused chopsticks and hit her on the head, deliberately scaring her and saying, "Why don't you eat?! What else can you accomplish if you don't eat seriously?"
Ye zhiqiao sighed weakly, thinking that she could still dream of achieving something big? It's good not to drown in other people's saliva.
However, in the face of yi chen's concern, she could not be too ungrateful, so she narrowed her eyes and smiled, buried her head and began to eat.
"Eat some meat too. If you can't eat it, you have to eat it. Otherwise, your body won't be able to hold on. You must have not recovered from drawing so much blood last time." Yi chen picked up some food for ye zhiqiao and kept on gossiping. The awkward feelings of the two of them had disappeared without her knowing it.
These actions of yi chen moved ye zhiqiao very much, but in addition to being moved, ye zhiqiao maintained the distance between friends with him.
Everyone was an adult and understood that one person would not treat another well for no reason. Ye zhiqiao already had gu mohan and decided to spend the rest of her life with him. Even though she and gu mohan had not had a chance to contact each other recently for some reason, she knew exactly what to do and what not to do.
She turned to look out of the window amid the dusty noise.
These days were always overcast, with dark clouds in the sky, blocking the light and bringing hot winds, as if a heavy rain was coming.
