At one in the morning, Lu Chen had yet to return.
Shi Yao could not help but pick up her mobile and make a call. On the other end of the phone was a woman's voice, and when Shi Yao heard the voice, all the blood in her body froze, but he still maintained her smile and did her best to sound calm.
Hello, can you let Mo Jintu answer the phone, I have something to talk to him about.
"I'm sorry, Jin is in the shower right now, so I can't answer your phone right now. If you need anything, I can take you to him."
Shi Yao's gaze darkened. As she said that there was no need, she immediately hung up the phone in her hand and looked in front of him. Inevitably, there was an additional sense of powerlessness;
However, his eyes seemed to be moist and his chest was blocked by something. That uncomfortable feeling continued to stir in his heart.
It seemed that it wouldn't be long before Shi Yao's heart would burst open.
After Gu Ying hung up, she deleted the call from Shi Yao, then went back to the sofa and waited for Mo Jintu to come out from the bathroom.
Roughly ten minutes later, Mo Jintu had already changed into a new shirt and walked out of the bathroom. He was lying on the sofa, holding his head and pretending to have just woken up.
Mo Jintu slowly sat down by Gu Ying's side, uneasily looking at Gu Ying's current pale face.
"Are you better now? You shouldn't drink so much. "
Gu Ying chuckled, as she held onto the side of her head and frowned: "I know, but women are, at times, a little willful. It's still considered good that you're willing to bring me home today, or else I really wouldn't know what to do! Maybe someone has already picked it up? "
"Don't be like this in the future." Mo Jintu picked up the phone on the table, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. Take good care of yourself at home."
"Can you accompany me for a night? I won't have any relationship with you! I just want to have someone by my side when I'm sad. It would be even better if that person was you. "
When Gu Ying said these words, she seemed to be praying for the current Mo Jintu to be able to stay behind for her sake.
Mo Jintu's expression was a little conflicted. He was still roughly considering whether to stop for Gu Ying's sake, and in the end, shook his head and say.
If you have any discomfort, you can call Fang Junting. Compared to me, I believe that your cousin is more suitable to stay by your side to take care of you. "Su Yun said in a low voice.
Gu Ying frowned, not long later, her eyes were filled with tears. Before Mo Jintu could react, tears had already started rolling down his face, and no matter how pitiful he looked, that man would not be able to take it.
If Gu Ying was just someone who did not know Mo Jintu personally, Mo Jintu would not even spare him a glance.
Although the two of them didn't have any relationship, because Gu Ying had tasted the food sent to him by the company, he had frequently treated Mo Jintu well. In these three years, even the Auntie Wu had wanted to make the two of them together, but the both of them had been rejected by Mo Jintu.
In Mo Jintu's heart, Gu Ying was just like a little sister. She couldn't possibly be moved, but she wouldn't always be so heartless.
Mo Jintu sat down on the sofa. Looking at Gu Ying's pitiful appearance, she could not help but soften her heart.
"Then what are you going to do next? What can I help you with? "
"If you don't mind, I want to drink the honey water you made for me. I know that there's no reason for me to ask you for honey water if I go out to drink like this. But can you be more generous and not be angry with me?"
Gu Ying's tone of voice was very cute, even this kind of woman would usually find someone to love.
As she spoke, Gu Ying hugged Mo Jintu's arm, and just as Mo Jintu was about to struggle free from his grasp, she didn't expect Gu Ying's following words to force Mo Jintu to take a deep breath and allow this woman to do as she pleased.
I know that you will only be my little sister, and I can also help you be your big brother. Look at your little sister's body, it's not very comfortable right now, so shouldn't Brother Mo accompany her for a while?
Gu Ying carefully looked at Mo Jintu's face, his gentle smile causing one's heart to soften. Mo Jintu took a deep breath and nodded.
Gu Ying then hugged Mo Jintu's arm and closed his eyes, gradually falling asleep.
The next morning, Gu Ying woke up after around eight in the morning. Gu Ying raised her head and looked at the sleeping Mo Jintu beside her, her mouth raised in a complacent smile. She felt that with Shi Yao's temperament, she would not find trouble with Mo Jintu, and the more it was like this, the deeper the gap between the two of them became.
This was also what Gu Ying wanted to see at the beginning.
Gu Ying carefully pushed them twice, causing Mo Jintu to open his eyes wearily. What entered his vision was Gu Ying's apologetic smile.
"Brother Mo is my bad. I will make use of the alcohol to keep you here yesterday. At that time, will sister-in-law misunderstand our relationship?" Do you need me to explain this to sister-in-law? "
"No need, you just had a hangover last night. Close your eyes and rest well today."
Gu Ying nodded, when she saw Mo Jintu off, she pretended that he was not drunk and almost fell to the ground.
In the end, helped him to the bed, and even stopped him from sending him off. After a good rest, only then did Gu Ying timidly make a sound of agreement.
She silently prayed that the two of them would separate. Only if they separated, would Gu Ying be able to approach Mo Jintu without any worries. No matter what the outcome might be, even if it was a moth flying into a flame, Gu Ying would still be happy and content.
When she went to the company, Shi Yao was already preparing coffee in her office.
Seeing Shi Yao's figure, Mo Jintu smiled gently, went up and hugged Shi Yao from behind, and gently kissed Shi Yao's ear.
"Sorry, other than some matters last night, I wasn't able to come back. I let you go home alone, right? Did the group go to school? "
"I've arrived. I'll take good care of the group. You just need to busy yourself with your own matters. You don't need to worry about my matters." After Shi Yao finished speaking, she removed the hand that Mo Jintu was holding from her chest with a distant look, as though she was looking at a stranger: "Let's go for a meeting first! I'll come here and clean it up. "
"Were you angry that I didn't return last night?"
"I don't. You have your own matters to attend to. I can understand that, but you don't need to care so much about how I feel."
Shi Yao said coldly, and turned to leave.
Mo Jintu took a deep breath as he watched Shi Yao's back. The two of them were still as cold as before, just like back then when the estrangement between the two of them did not even have a chance to be resolved. Mo Jintu walked towards Shi Yao's side, and had originally planned to pull Shi Yao into her embrace.
Halfway through his actions, he took a deep breath and did not continue.
"Rest well now. It seems like you didn't fix it well because I wasn't back home last night. Sorry."
Shi Yao turned his head and smiled as she shook his head, "You don't have to be too worried about me. No matter what, I can take care of myself. I don't want to press you again and again. "
Seeing Mo Jintu nod his head and leaving, Shi Yao took a deep breath, his hand anxiously hiding his chest, he did not know what he was feeling, but he could feel something stuck in his chest, causing him to be unable to breath.
Even so, Shi Yao couldn't help but tell herself that there would definitely be no relationship between the two of them, and believe that the both of them were innocent no matter what.
In the afternoon, Shen Congran called Shi Yao and asked him to come down to eat dinner. Originally, Shi Yao did not plan to agree to it, but in the end, Li Jun said thathe wanted to meet with Shi Yao after coming back, so Shi Yao reluctantly agreed to the invitation. However, hearing his tone, she did not plan to meet Mo Jintu at all.
Mo Jintu returned home during lunch time, and didn't know what everyone was talking about. Mo Jintu's condition didn't look too good, so he loosened his hand on his tie and sat on the president's chair to take a deep breath.
"These are all useless people. They can't even handle the simplest of things well."
Shi Yao watched as Mo Jintu swapped a cup of coffee from the tea room and placed it in front of Mo Jintu: "Take your time if there's anything, don't be too anxious, I think there will be a way to resolve this sooner or later."
"Well, what do you want for lunch today? We'll take a look around the company. "
"No, I have a date with Shen Congran and his. What do you want to eat in the afternoon, I can buy for you."
Mo Jintu's expression immediately became a lot uglier.
"Eating with Shen Congran? I wonder if I can go with you guys? "
"It's better not to let so many things happen. For the time being, he doesn't want to see you either. This way, it won't harm either of you."
Shi Yao said helplessly, and forced a smile on her face.
Mo Jintu took a deep breath, and held onto Shi Yao's wrist, looking at Shi Yao with indifferent eyes.
"Are you really going to have lunch with Shen Congran?"
"I also have my own life. Even if I were to marry you in the future, I can't possibly refuse to communicate with the whole world, right? There are some things that Mo Jintu should not be too selfish for, no matter what, he should leave some leeway for others. "
With that, Shi Yao turned around and left. Thinking back to the call she had received last night, she felt that the events of that night were especially laughable.
It was obvious that Mo Jintu himself couldn't even control himself, and was so intimate with others, what right did he have to beg Shi Yao to be a good person! Moreover, Shi Yao was sitting right next to him, there was no need to hide anything between him and Shen Congran.
"Shi Yao, I'll give you one more chance. If you come back now, I can pretend that you didn't say anything."
"Then I'm sorry. I don't think I can communicate with you in such a peaceful manner."
