Huang Ling made a feint. Originally, she wanted to use the excuse of having a meal and start with Jiang Mo, hoping that the latter could persuade him.
However, this young man was so on guard that he didn't give her a chance, so she had to give up.
After getting most of the work done, Gu Ye couldn't wait to fly back to Jiangcheng.
Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, he went directly to wait downstairs at Jiang Mo's company, wanting to give her a surprise.
When the time came and he didn't see her, he sent a message asking, "Are you working overtime today? Why haven't I seen you come out yet? I'll take you to have something delicious."
"You're back?" Jiang Mo was happy, and then noticed the words in the message. "You're downstairs at my company?"
Gu Ye: "Yeah, I'm here to pick you up from work."
"Hehe, well, I'm not at the company. I went out to meet a client this afternoon and I'm already at home by now."
"Is Uncle Li at home? Or should I come over?"
Jiang Mo thought for a while and replied, "He's not at home. Okay, come over."
While waiting for Gu Ye to come over, Jiang Mo went downstairs and bought some food at the entrance of the community and came back up.
Gu Ye entered the community as if he was very familiar with the place. He knocked on the door, and as soon as he entered, he gave Jiang Mo a bear hug and then kissed her on the lips several times in succession.
Jiang Mo was left stunned, with her face turning red.
Although the two of them had had physical contact before, it was just holding hands and the like.
Was this what the saying "a day apart seems like three autumns" meant?
He was a bit too enthusiastic.
Jiang Mo was lifted up by Gu Ye, her feet slightly tiptoeing, and she could only tightly wrap her arms around his neck.
When she was almost out of breath and her head was dizzy, she was finally put down.
Gu Ye put her down but didn't completely let go. Instead, he put his arm around her waist and held her firmly in his arms. "Silly girl, you need to take a breath when kissing."
If you didn't look closely, you could find that Gu Ye's neck and ears were also very red.
Jiang Mo pursed her lips, shyly pushed him away, and pretended to be fierce. "Why are you like this as soon as you come back?"
"I missed you," Gu Ye sighed. "I actually wanted to come back two days earlier."
"What time did your flight arrive? Are you tired? Come and have something to eat," Jiang Mo pulled Gu Ye's hand, and the two of them started to have a meal.
"It's okay. I don't have much work left. I'll take a rest later and plan to do my own things," Gu Ye said his arrangements while eating. "The time for me to quit the entertainment circle hasn't been set yet."
"Before I quit the circle, I'll have a good farewell to everyone."
Jiang Mo asked, "Have you settled everything with Sister Huang?"
Gu Ye nodded. "Yeah, I've finished all the discussions."
"So what are you going to do later?"
"I have some ideas, but they haven't taken shape yet. I'll tell you when they're implemented."
When young lovers are together, there are always endless things to talk about.
Gu Ye put down his chopsticks and took a sip of water. "When will Uncle Li probably be back?"
"I asked my dad. He said it might be around nine o'clock, and he might just sleep at the villa."
"By the way, when do you plan to announce our relationship to everyone?" Gu Ye held Jiang Mo's little hand and compared it with his own. Hers was much smaller.
Jiang Mo propped her chin with one hand. She was actually still a bit hesitant.
"Maybe, wait for another two months, after you quit the circle."
"Okay, I'll listen to you," Gu Ye rubbed her hand. "Then do you want to consider moving to Yanjiangwan?"
A look of difficulty appeared on Jiang Mo's face. "My parents probably won't agree."
It was not easy for her to even find an excuse to move out.
Gu Ye: "It seems that I still have to work hard to get Aunt Wang and Uncle Li to recognize me as soon as possible."
The two of them cuddled on the sofa for a while. Then Gu Ye went to the toilet, and Jiang Mo cleaned up the leftovers on the table.
Just as she was packing up the garbage bag, the door made a noise, and Li Daming pushed the door open.
Jiang Mo's pupils dilated in shock. She looked at the toilet and then at the time on the wall. "Dad, why did you come back so soon?"
"Mr. Gu originally had a dinner engagement tonight, but it was cancelled, so I came back earlier," Li Daming was still carrying some fruits in his hand. "I bought these at the entrance of the community. I thought they looked good. Try them."
After saying that, he put the fruits on the coffee table, picked up the remote control, and turned on the TV.
Jiang Mo took out her phone and sent a message to the person in the toilet.
Gu Ye received the message. "Then what should we do?"
Jiang Mo: "What else can we do? Just play it by ear. Don't come out first."
"Why aren't you eating these fruits? I think this durian is of good quality," Li Daming saw his daughter fidgeting. "What's wrong? Is there a needle on the sofa?"
"Eat, I'll eat," Jiang Mo took out a pair of gloves, took out a piece of durian from the box, and started to eat it in small bites.
While eating, she poked at her phone and replied to Gu Ye, "My dad is watching TV in the living room."
Gu Ye: "Then when should I come out? What if your dad wants to go to the toilet?"
"Um, wait for me to find a way to get dad out of the way."
Jiang Mo put the phone on her lap, touched her nose, and said, "Dad, aren't Uncle Wang and the others playing chess downstairs? Why don't you go down and play with them?"
"Uncle Wang and the others play chess so poorly. I'd better just watch TV at home... Hey, why do I hear a noise in the bathroom? Did you hear it?" Li Daming let out a sound of surprise, got up, and turned around to stand up.
