Chapter 143 The beginning of misunderstanding – the ring
“What do you want to drink?” Gu Yan asked Mo Yichen who was still adjusting his tie.
“Whatever you want.” Mo Yichen said.
“Well, a cup of latte! Thank you.” Gu Yan said to the waiter.
“President Mo seems quite happy today. May I ask why?” Gu Yan asked curiously because Mo Yichen always kept a poker face before. But now, he was smiling as if he won a victory in some competition.
Although Mo Yichen’s smile was a little unnatural, his handsome appearance attracted people around. Even customers passed by couldn’t help glancing at him.
“I thought this was my usual appearance.” Mo Yichen said calmly, trying his best to cover up his dominating image.
“I heard from Wu Gang that you were quite strict with employees and rarely smiled on them.” Thinking of Wu Gang’s words, Gu Yan couldn’t help laughing.
“I also think that you are more beautiful when you smile than you frown. I don’t think there are so many things to make you upset, aren’t there?” Mo Yichen said, which made Gu Yan feel quite warm.
Mo Yichen didn’t feel angry for Gu Yan’s teasing, but looked at the one who’s simpering before him as if he got the best gift in the world.
Staring at the man who’s smiling as she was, Gu Yan thought that he was quite cute to some extent. She rarely saw his smile, so she couldn’t help taking her chance to look at him concentratedly at this moment and didn’t notice that the waiter was already there.
“Lady, here are your drinks.”
“Oh, okay, thank you.” Gu Yan replied hurriedly.
“Oh, this is yours.” Then Gu Yan handed the cup of latte to Mo Yichen.
“Thank you.” Mo Yichen took it.
“This is the interior design of Xiangyan’s room. Please take a look.” Then Gu Yan handed the manuscript to Mo Yichen.
Mo Yichen wanted to take a sip of latte, but was interrupted by Gu Yan.
“Let me see.”
“This is the main entrance of the room, and this is the interior design you showed me before. See if there is anything you are not satisfied.” Gu Yan said that as she pointed at the manuscript.
However, Mo Yichen saw the ring on Gu Yan’s ring finger and held her hand directly.
“So, you are still with your ex-husband. You even wear the ring on your hand.” Mo Yichen showed an unhappy expression suddenly.
Gu Yan was really frightened at this moment!
“I’m sorry.” Gu Yan withdrew her hand quickly.
“I was surprised when I saw you walking with your ex-husband that day, but now I understand.” Mo Yichen said in a despised tone.
“President Mo, I think my private affairs should have nothing to do with my work.” Gu Yan was a little angry because she thought that Mo Yichen might misunderstand her. However, if he saw her with Wen Yunfeng, then he definitely lied when he said he was busy with his business last time.
“Guess what I thought is right. I place a high premium on a person’s character and I hate to be deceived by others, so I am angry. Do you understand?” Mo Yichen explained because he wanted to give Gu Yan an opportunity to admit that she was wrong.
“I did nothing wrong. Even if I am reconciled with my ex-husband, it is none of your business!” The more Gu Yan said, the angrier she was. Because she thought she was wronged by Mo Yichen. In fact, Gu Yan planned to...
“Well, it is indeed none of my business and I don’t need to worry about you as well.” Mo Yichen threw the manuscript on the table and went away directly.
Seeing him walk away, Gu Yan felt really contradicted because she wanted to explain but she was really angry now. At last, Gu Yan went home.
Walking on the street, Gu Yan was not in the vein for the surroundings because she had nothing to do with those. Looking down at the ring on her finger, Gu Yan thought, “It is so annoying! It was the ring’s fault at that critical moment!”
Gu Yan was speechless to see the ring.
“Be careful!” Gu Yan just felt that she was pulled back by a strong hand.
“You?” Gu Yan looked back and saw a passerby holding her.
“Can’t you see the red light? You were almost hit by a truck just now!” The passerby still complained that Gu Yan didn’t understand the preciousness of life.
“If you want to die, go ahead and jump off a building. Don’t get me involved!” The truck driver who almost hit Gu Yan shouted.
Gu Yan was also scared.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t notice the red light.” Then Gu Yan left there quickly and thought, “What a shame! Today is a bad day. I’m almost hit by a truck, and I’m misunderstood by Mo Yichen just now. I really don’t know what to do now.” Suddenly, Gu Yan’s phone rang. It was Manla.
“Hey, Manla, what’s wrong?” Gu Yan asked.
“Don’t you know why I give you the call? You asked me to talk something about human resource. Now you should forget it! What! Are you hit by a car or something?” Manla couldn’t believe that Gu Yan should forget their appointment. “Does Gu Yan only have seven seconds’ memory?” Manla thought.
“Sorry, let’s talk about it at home. I feel awful today.” Then Gu Yan hung up the phone and went to the supermarket to buy some food and beer.
Gu Yan finally learned to relieve herself with wine.
“Uh? Let me see. Okay.” Manla said helplessly.
“Sister Manla, you need go to a business dinner party tonight.” A colleague reminded Manla.
“I can’t go there tonight. I have something more important to do.” Manla said.
“Sister Manla, the business dinner party is very grand. Are you serious that you won’t go there? Many people dream of attending the party. If you give up this opportunity, Sister Na will go there on your behalf. But you... Besides, President Yan...” The colleague reminded Manla with good intentions.
“I will explain it to President Yan. Don’t worry! I rely on my ability to keep my position, not on my capacity for liquor, so I only drink with competent people. Even if I may be removed from my position, I won’t worry a lot. Because I believe that I will be put in an important position again soon.” Manla was quite bold and straight. Maybe Gu Yan should learn from her and face her life courageously.
“Okay.” The colleague said helplessly.
Manla refused to attend the party tonight directly. If she went to the business dinner party, she could widen her contacts. In addition, the party was very grand. Everyone was eager to get the opportunity, but Manla refused directly.
Manla rushed to Gu Yan’s home directly after work.
“Finally, you are here. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” Gu Yan opened the door. On entering the room, Manla smelled an overpowering smell of alcohol.
“Gosh! You drink again. You persuaded me to drink less before. But now, you are just the same as me!”
It seemed that Gu Yan wasn’t drunk.
“I just want to relieve the pressure from work. Don’t think too much.” Gu Yan explained.
“Okay! Don’t I understand you?” Manla looked Gu Yan complacently.
“Dishes are all cold. Hurry up!” Gu Yan asked Manla to put her stuff down and eat.
“Wow, sweet and sour pork ribs! My favorite dish! You are good to me.” Manla didn’t wash her hands and took the pot of ribs on the table contentedly.
“Well, haven’t you eaten in the last few days?” Gu Yan asked in surprise.
“I’m supposed to attend a grand business party tonight but I refused to accompany you. If you just treat me with beer and such a simple meal, I’ll never do this for you again.”
“I just miss you.” Gu Yan winked at Manla as she supported her chin.
