Chapter 654 Disappearing out of thin air
“Good brother.”
“Loquacious.”
The two walked so far. Just now, Qi Changfeng and Gu Manman didn’t drive when they came out of the restaurant. Qi Changfeng saw Gu Manman eat so much and wanted her to digest food. It would be unreasonable for a girl to eat like this.
Fortunately, Qi Changfeng had originally picked a place not far from home to eat. Now it was quite convenient for them to walk home slowly, instead of taking a taxi.
“Brother, do you think you can chase after Gu Yan?”
Gu Manman asked the question buried in her mind. It was not that she wanted to heighten others’ ambitions to destroy own prestige. She did feel that Gu Yan and Mo Yichen had a good relationship. If Gu Yan was really not a material girl as her cousin said, Qi Changfeng would have little chance of winning.
Anyway, now Gu Manman understood Qi Changfeng’s situation more and more. If Gu Yan didn’t like her cousin now or later, what should her cousin do?
Gu Manman also knew Qi Changfeng’s affection for Gu Yan. She knew that true love could not deceive people, and every time Qi Changfeng mentioned Gu Yan, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Qi Changfeng froze a moment, would he be able to chase after Gu Yan? To be honest, Qi Changfeng didn’t even know. Why should Gu Yan be with him? His kindness to her? Qi Changfeng didn’t know.
He only regretted that he had not appeared in Gu Yan’s life earlier. But if he appeared early, perhaps he would not fall in love with Gu Yan.
“I have no idea.”
Qi Changfeng really didn’t know if he could chase after Gu Yan, so he had to tell it like it was.
Gu Manman saw the despondency on Qi Changfeng’s face. It seemed that the person who really needed to cheer up was his cousin, not her.
“Anyway, you must strive hard, don’t give up. Perseverance will prevail.”
Qi Changfeng could not help but laugh after hearing this weird analogy. How could Gu Manman know about his affairs and his feelings for Gu Yan? He also did not intend to tell Gu Manman about such matters. If he talked too much, he would increase Gu Manman’s anxieties.
Sure enough, hearing Qi Changfeng laugh at her, Gu Manman’s attention was distracted, and she began to be unrelenting. The siblings were walking home noisily in the quiet street at night.
What they didn’t know was that Jiang Jingcheng stayed at home alone. His mind was in a mess, which made him feel uncomfortable. Jiang Jingcheng didn’t know what was wrong with him. He just thought he was too tired and went to bed when he got home. He couldn’t even care to eat the instant noodles he bought.
Jiang Jingcheng felt that he was too tired, so he had these strange thoughts. He had to sleep, and everything will be fine after sleep. But when Jiang Jingcheng was lying on the bed, the figure of Gu Manman appeared in his mind over and over again.
Jiang Jingcheng didn’t know the reason and fell asleep unconsciously. He only knew that the last scene he saw before falling asleep was Gu Manman’s face.
However, Mo Yichen and Gu Yan were not so troubled with love because they were right next to each other.
Since Jiang Jingcheng assigned some work tasks to Gu Yan, Gu Yan also became very busy. She knew that she had missed too much work in the previous period, and now she could only make up for it by working harder, and she had to work day and night.
Except for sending Mo Xiangyan to school and picking him up every day, she locked herself in the room and worked on her designs wholeheartedly, without caring about other things.
And like Gu Yan, Mo Yichen stayed at the company until late every day and then went home. When he returned home, Gu Yan was still busy with her work. Looking at Gu Yan who had stayed up all night to draw pictures for several days, Mo Yichen felt so distressed.
Although there were a lot of tricky things in his work to be solved and Mo Yichen also knew unbearable feelings when facing such accumulated tasks, however, he didn’t want to see Gu Yan working day and night. Seeing she work so hard, Mo Yichen couldn’t help but blame himself and feel distressed.
“Haven’t you finished drawing yet?”
Mo Yichen washed up and gently walked over to Gu Yan, putting a glass of milk on Gu Yan’s table as usual. But now Gu Yan, who had completely devoted herself to work, did not even have time to drink milk.
“Well, I will be done soon. You go to bed first.”
Gu Yan also knew that Mo Yichen was worried about her. But she still had a lot of work to do, and she had to finish it today. How could she keep putting them all off? Some work tasks couldn’t be delayed anymore.
But Gu Yan knew that if she stayed up late, Mo Yichen would definitely not allow it, so she had to tell Mo Yichen that her work would be over soon. She also knew that Mo Yichen’s pressure was not less than hers. How could Gu Yan bear to let Mo Yichen stay up late with her?
Hearing what she said, Mo Yichen knew what Gu Yan meant. She must still work late today. Mo Yichen shook his head, knowing that he definitely couldn’t do anything with Gu Yan, so he took out his computer from his office bag and started to work.
Since he couldn’t get Gu Yan to go to bed obediently, at least he was able to stay with her and worked until late at night.
When Gu Yan saw Mo Yichen turn on his computer, how couldn’t she know what he meant? Because Gu Yan also knew that Mo Yichen’s life in the company was not easy recently. What she could do at this time was to let Mo Yichen get to rest.
Gu Yan sped up the progress, and prepared up to wrap it up and went to bed.
Mo Yichen became very focused once he started to work. After all, he couldn’t allow himself to make any mistakes again in his work.
Although Mo Yichen had spent most of time on his work recently, he had not relaxed and forgotten to find out the evidence of his uncle’s crimes. His uncle really did a “perfect crime” this time, and Mo Yichen found nothing after investigating it for so long time.
But Mo Yichen’s efforts paid off, and he finally found out some clues recently.
Mo Yichen had found some clues about the crime made by his uncle. He already knew that there was an informant who had been helping his uncle. As long as he found this informant, all the difficulties might be solved. But now Mo Yichen was very disconsolate because he couldn’t find out this informant’s current whereabouts at all, it was as if this person had disappeared out of thin air.
But he didn’t think so. He didn’t believe a living person with many secrets would disappear out of thin airsuddenly.
