Chapter 196 - Friends

After all the ruckus ended, Grandfather Mo went onto the stage.

Grandfather Mo announced, "From today onwards, Mo Yu Ze would be the new CEO of Mo's Construction Company and would be the only inheritor and descendant recognized by the Mo family."

Chen Chu Yao, who was standing behind, clapped loudly, and tears rolled down her cheeks as she was very happy for Mo Yu Ze.

Chen Chu Yao had been standing at the back, supporting Mo Yu Ze in silence, watching him taking revenge for his mother and watching him shine on the stage.

As the public already knew about Chen Chu Yao and Mo Yu Ze's relationship for some time already, they didn't think it was necessary to interview her today since the main topic for the day was Mo's Construction Company's inheritor.

Mo Yu Ze stood on the stage and looked towards Chen Chu Yao. They smiled at each other sweetly before he walked down the stage towards Chen Chu Yao.

He went down on one knee and took out a ring from his pocket, "Yao Yao, although we have only known each other for two years, I knew that you are my only one ever since I met you. In the past, because we were artists and artist managers in Starlight Entertainment, so we couldn't reveal our relationship. After we went to Blue Diamond Entertainment, our relationship was made public, and ever since then, I have been thinking about marrying you home."

Chen Chu Yao was surprised by Mo Yu Ze's sudden actions and words. She covered her mouth with her hand as she sucked in a deep breath.

"Yao Yao, will you marry me?

Chen Chu Yao immediately cried, and Mo Yu Ze's eyes were also filled with tears when he looked at Chen Chu Yao dearly.

Chen Chu Yao nodded her head, "Yes!"

Mo Yu Ze gleamed happily and slipped the ring onto Chen Chu Yao's finger before he carried her in his arms and spun her around.

After spinning for a while, he placed her down, and his hand cupped her face while their foreheads touched.

His lips moved closer to hers before their lips touched.

The reporters clapped loudly while they took photos of the scene.

Grandfather Mo smiled happily on the stage as he looked at the young couple. He was delighted that he could make it for his only grandson's most important day.

After their lips parted, their eyes remained on one another. It was as though there were no one else in the world except for each other.

On the other side. Blue Diamond Entertainment. Human Resources Department.

Gu Ran Yi looked at Alexander, who was sitting on the opposite side of her. She thought for a moment and decided to ask a question that has been bugging her.

"Alexander, you are a citizen of Country Y, right?"

Alexander was surprised by Gu Ran Yi's sudden question because this was the first time Gu Ran Yi took the initiative to talk with him with regards to things outside of work!

Alexander's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly smiled before he looked at today's date. He wanted to note down the date when they had their first proper conversation, and when they get together, they could celebrate it together.

"Alexander?" Gu Ran Yi called out again because Alexander didn't reply to her.

Alexander quickly snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Gu Ran Yi, "Sorry, what did you say?"

"I asked if you are a citizen of Country Y."

"Oh, I am a citizen of Country Y. Why do you ask?"

"Since you are a citizen of Country Y and also a professor at YY University, why do you want to come to Blue Diamond Entertainment to work?"

Alexander didn't want to let Gu Ran Yi know about his feelings straight away, so he decided to answer with only part of the truth, "Xi and I have been friends since we were young and when she asked me if I want to come, I decided to come since I thought it would be fun."

Gu Ran Yi's heart sank a little when she heard Alexander's answer, and she didn't know why. However, she didn't show anything on her face.

"What about your work as a professor in Country Y?"

"It's fine. I have been teaching for years, and a change was nice. Furthermore, many other professors in Country Y can teach too."

"Oh… So, you came here just because Xi Xi asked you to?"

"Kind of."

Gu Ran Yi looked at Alexander and said, "You have feelings for Xi Xi, right?"

Alexander didn't want to hide anything from Gu Ran Yi, so he decided to answer her truthfully, "I used to like Xi for almost ten years."

"You like her very soon after you met her, right?" Gu Ran Yi smiled as she tried to push away the unknown feelings in her heart.

"Mm. Xi is very different. She is smart, pretty, brave, kind, daring, and yet scary at the same time."

Gu Ran Yi listened to what Alexander said, and she nodded, "Mm. She is really different from others. I would never be able to do something I like if it wasn't for her."

Gu Ran Yi was indeed thankful for Mo Xi even though she doesn't know why her heart ached a little when Alexander said all the qualities of Mo Xi.

"However, that's all in the past. Now, we are just best friends, and my feelings for her turned into one for a family, like a sister," Alexander smiled as he replied Gu Ran Yi.

Hearing Alexander's words, Gu Ran Yi cheered up a little.

Alexander then looked at the time, "It's time for lunch. Do you want to have lunch together?"

Gu Ran Yi looked at the time and realized that it was indeed lunchtime, "Ok."

Back to Mo's Construction Company.

After the press holding ended, Mo Yu Ze then brought Chen Chu Yao to Grandfather Mo.

"Elder Mo, I will take my leave first," The lady said to Grandfather Mo before Mo Yu Ze reached them.

"Thank you," Grandfather Mo answered gratefully.
