What does it feel like to betray someone who trusts you wholeheartedly? If you are used to it, then there's is no sense to think about it.
Then if not, you will feel that every word that was spoken, every action that has done even the tiny ones may cause for the betrayal to be exposed.
You will always feel that you are being watched, feeling too anxious while watching out if someone will suddenly call you a liar.
These are exactly what he feels. The longer Yu Qiao stays in the same room as Mo Che, the more his conscience is eating him. He is not even paying attention to what his godfather is talking about.
Not only he is hiding Mo Lihua's boyfriend that she seems to want to badly keep, but Yu Qiao is also not confident that if his godfather will find something amiss. Would the man realize that he fantasized his daughter in a very inappropriate way?
"Are you alright?" Mo Che asked with concern as he noticed Yu Qiao's pale face. "Qiao?" He repeated, shaking his shoulder to get his attention.
Finally snapping out of his worries, Yu Qiao can only respond incoherently, "Eh?"
"I said, are you alright? You don't seem well to me." Mo Che repeated with a frown. Apologizing, "It' just hangover. I may have drunk too much last night." Yu Qiao chuckled forcefully.
"You did not pick Lihua after drinking, right?" Mo Che asked seriously. Even if he trust Yu Qiao, safety is still not something they can just treat casually.
Immediately shaking his head, "No uncle. I had a drink here. I made sure that Lihua is safe before I enjoyed drinking..." Yu Qiao replied, finding his own statement to be weird.
Mo Che nodded, "That's fine. Just do not drink too much. We do not want you following on your father's footsteps." He noted, before releasing a deep breath.
Depression is not easy to cure. Even if the Yu Family was able to survive bankruptcy at that time, it does not mean that the Yu master can just forget that his wife is not in the world anymore.
Yu Qiao's father still manages the company, now to the point that he ends up working too much. Despite that his father still cannot get good sleep, thus drinking is his next habit to fall into slumber.
Now the Yu master is so dependent on it, that Yu Qiao and Mo Che cannot do anything about it.
'I am already old. Won't you make my life a little easier and enjoy it by letting me sleep in peace? When I dream, I see Aheng… Just let me be...' The Yu master's normal reply whenever they rebuke him for drinking too much.
After the mention of his late wife, there is really nothing they can do to stop Yu Qiao's father.
"Yes, uncle. Do not worry." Yu Qiao replied.
"Father, you are here." Mo Lihua greeted, not expecting to see Mo Che. She gave a quick glance at Rita who is following closely behind her, showing her unhappiness for the maid that seems to forget to mention this important detail.
"Master, we are ready to go back!" Rita announces cheerfully, not paying attention to anything else. "Oh! Good morning Young Master Yu!"
"Good morning, to you both." Yu Qiao stated then nod his head at Lihua who is back to her original self.
Her large glasses are back, there are still some freckles and pimple scars but he just realized that she does not look so different from her last night's appearance covered with too much makeup. When the glasses are removed, it's almost the same.
Yu Qiao cannot help but stare at Mo Lihua, while she is talking to his godfather. He cleared his throat as the images from his dream flashed. In his dream, her face is hazy and the only prominent feature of her is the bright green eyes and her cherry lips.
'Damn it! Here we go again?' He cursed himself, not forcing to forget anymore as Yu Qiao already learned that it is impossible.
He immediately stood up before the lower part of his body react and became too obvious on the jeans that he is wearing.
"Oh, Brother Qiao let's go now?" Before Yu Qiao leaves Mo Lihua asked.
