Chapter 402 Into her life
Xiangyan had lived in that kind of carefree environment since childhood. His living conditions were much better than those of the other children.
“Wait, don’t be silly. It’s different.” Manla suddenly felt that Gu Yan was like a fool who was led by the nose and whose brain wasn’t functioning.
“What’s the difference?” Gu Yan looked at her doubtfully.
“Xiangyan is not short of things that money can buy. Maternal love is different. It cannot be purchased by money. He likes you so much. Now you are not in front of him. He must miss you very much.”
“What do you mean?” Gu Yan was confused.
“Well, you can make a unique gift by yourself.” Manla was about to be pissed off by Gu Yan. She had to waste her time and explain it to Gu Yan word by word to make her understand.
Manla didn’t know when Gu Yan became so dull, which totally surprised her.
“Right!” Gu Yan suddenly was enlightened. She said, “I know what I should send.”
“What is it?”
“It’s a secret!” Gu Yan got up, ran out, and said, “Please help me keep an eye on the shop!” She ignored Manla who reluctantly shouted behind her.
Gu Yan left immediately. Looking at her back, Manla was angry, but felt funny. Gu Yan didn’t change her temper. She did whatever she wanted regardless of the consequences.
It was an album that Gu Yan prepared for Xiangyan. Each page was fully posted with their photos. Next to each photo, she wrote down many words about the memories between them.
“No matter where you are, I will always love you and miss you. Your happiness is my greatest felicity.”
Gu Yan wrote these two sentences as an ending.
When this album was completed, it was already at the end of this month. There were three days before Xiangyan’s birthday.
Manla had returned to City A already. It was unsure when she would come to this city on a business trip again.
It seemed that this was destined to be a gift that could not be delivered. Gu Yan sighed and became upset. Despite this, she carefully packed the gift and comforted herself that there would always be a chance to send it to Xiangyan.
Gu Yan looked at a photo. That was an extra one because every page of the album was scattered with photos. She decided to keep it as a memorial.
She heard the sound of the car engine from the outside, and soon Qi Changfeng pushed the door and walked in.
“Qi... Changfeng?” She did not know his intent.
“Um... I’m here to send you the salary of this month.”
“But it’s not the time.”
“Here is the thing. I’m going to City A tomorrow. I might have to stay for a few days. I’m afraid I won’t be back in time.”
“City A?” Gu Yan was puzzled.
“Yes. The son of President Mo in City A has a birthday the day after tomorrow, and there will be a birthday party for him. President Mo is my high school classmate. I will go and see him.” Qi Changfeng gave a clear explanation.
Gu Yan said nothing, but bowed her head and remained silent.
Qi Changfeng could not find any topic, so he had to put down the envelope and leave.
Gu Yan watched Qi Changfeng leave. She silently picked up the extra photo. A tear came out and traced a path down her cheek slowly. When it ran down her cheek, she couldn’t help crying. The tears continued to fall like a broken line of beads. Gu Yan stared at the photo and looked at the innocent and happy smile on Xiangyan’s face, without blinking or lifting her hands to wipe her tears. She sat still and was motionless. Her tears ran down her cheeks, then left sparkling traces, and dropped onto the photo.
Qi Changfeng, who was back because he forgot to take the car key, just saw this scene. He wanted to rush in and ask her why she cried, but he stood quietly at the door and couldn’t move a step.
Why? Qi Changfeng was full of questions. His reason told him that he shouldn’t go in and ask her and he should even pretend not to see it.
Gu Yan cried silently. Her grievances and feeling of missing her son these days were released with those teardrops. She didn’t know if Xiangyan would miss or remember her.
Gu Yan moved her fingers and wiped off the teardrops that fell on the photo. She touched Xiangyan’s cheek with her fingertips on the photo, as if she was stroking his face. For a while, she murmured, “Xiangyan, happy birthday.”
Finally, she raised her head, wiped her face simply, packed her things, closed the door, and rushed away. Qi Changfeng silently watched her back disappear on the street corner and patted his head in regret. Finally, he still had no courage to face her past. However, he swore in his heart that one day he would ask her, understand her past, and walk into her world.
When Qi Changfeng got off the plane, he saw Mo Yichen who came to pick him up from a distance.
Since he met with Mo Yichen, he was always able to find him in the crowd relying on his unique cold temperament. Probably because their family backgrounds and personalities were similar, they had had a good relationship since high school. It was only in recent years that they had not contacted with each other frequently because they were busy with family business. They would inevitably talk about the old days when meeting with each other.
Mo Yichen saw his old friend get off the plane and stepped forward. Without a word, they hugged each other, which explained everything.
They got into the car. Mo Yichen directly ordered the driver to go to the venue.
“You chose a good time and arrived at City A in time.” Mo Yichen quipped.
“If I did not take this plane, how could I get a free ride offered by you, President Mo?” Qi Changfeng also replied bluntly.
“I will also make a special trip to pick you up at any time you like.”
They talked about the past while arriving at the venue before they knew it.
The party was held in a five-star hotel in the center of City A. Mo’s family booked five floors of this hotel. In addition to the entire floor of the banquet hall, the remaining four floors were suites for guests to rest. The banquet hall was also well-decorated. The guests were all big names in all walks of life. All of that reflected the unshakable status of Mo’s family in City A.
Mo Yichen went to receive the guests. Qi Changfeng was totally bored and had to walk around the venue with a glass of wine. At a long table, he saw Mo Xiangyan who was angry and a woman wearing delicate makeup coaxing him with kind words.
Qi Changfeng was ready to see how much the child inherited his father’s temper. Then he heard Mo Yichen’s voice behind him.
“Xiangyan, come here.” His voice was frosty and there was no room for discussion.
Hearing this, Mo Xiangyan came immediately and the woman with delicate makeup also stood up, followed him and walked to Mo Yichen.
Mo Yichen picked up him and said, “This is Qi Changfeng. You should call him Uncle Qi.”
“Uncle Qi.” Xiangyan obediently greeted.
