A financial crisis swept through, forcing Yan Mo to return home for a blind date. What? Over thirty and still unmarried? Is he a complete straight man? A fake marriage to fool grandpa? Is that some...
They walked back into the house, and Lu Shanghua was talking to the second wave of five people who came up, while An An was quietly playing with the flying car toy she brought with her on the sofa.
Si Ze still hasn't come back.
"Yan Mo, I've said so much, I think you understand my intention. Si Ze is downstairs now, I don't want to cause any rift between you two just because I asked him to help."
"I've been through this before, and I know you're probably confused right now, not knowing what you're thinking. So, don't think about anything."
Yan Mo had only suspected before, but now Xiao Lin completely lifted the veil and told her that Si Ze really liked her.
Yan Mo was in a complicated mood.
It is impossible for Yan Mo to keep others company and accept others' kindness with peace of mind.
She couldn't bear to be entangled with them for no apparent reason as before.
For a moment, she was in a dilemma.
How to face it.
Should I accept his kindness and try to be with Si Ze? Or should I wait until the contract expires, take the money and leave after a year?
Xiao Lin knew that Yan Mo was making a difficult decision, so she didn't rush or disturb her.
a long time.
Yan Mocai said:
"But, the gap between us is too big. Maybe Mr. Si may like me a little bit, as you said, but who can guarantee how long such love can last, and will it really lead to any result?"
Because of his previous failed relationship and what he had seen from his sister, Yan Mo didn't dare to fall in love easily. Even though he had feelings for Si Ze deep down in his heart, he subconsciously denied it.
When she learned that Xiao Lin and Si Ze were not husband and wife, she felt secretly delighted, and only then did Yan Mo confirm this.
Perhaps she had developed some unusual feelings for the man who had been silently helping her.
But this little bit of emotion was enough to support Yan Mo in taking such a big step.
"Don't carry too many shackles, follow your heart. Some people will be missed for a lifetime. Give him a chance, give yourself a chance." Xiao Lin patted Yan Mo's shoulder and persuaded him earnestly. She could see that Yan Mo couldn't see himself clearly now.
What was missing was someone to ask for her help, and she was willing to be that person.
Just like she said, she hopes her husband and friends will be happy.
Yan Mo walked slowly towards the door and came to the entrance. As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he retracted his legs and turned around to look back. Xiao Lin was already playing with toys with her son.
Noticing Yan Mo's hesitation, Xiao Lin smiled and encouraged her: "Go!"
Suddenly Yan Mo smiled and nodded at Xiao Lin. Without hesitation, he quickly walked out the door and ran into the elevator.
Xiao Lin was right. If you missed it, you would miss it for the rest of your life. Now that the mistake has been solved, it’s not impossible to give it a try.
After spending these days together, Yan Mo is no stranger to it, so how could she not know how Si Ze treats her?
In that case, let’s give it a try!
After figuring it out, Yan Mo became anxious. The numbers on the elevator display seemed to be slow.
Counting each floor, Yan Mo reached the first floor, then quickly got off the elevator and went downstairs.
Where is it?
By the way, Xiao Lin said he was in the car.
Yan Mo ran to the underground garage again and found his own parking space. The military green Hummer was still there, but the person was not in the car.
Where would he go? Yan Mo took out his phone, sent him a video call, and stared at the screen.
Answer it! Answer it! Si Ze didn’t answer.
With a sigh, she could only go back to the ground and search the entire community.
Time passed by little by little. I searched half of the community but didn't see a single person.
The whistling sea breeze blew past, ruffling her hair. Yan Mo smoothed her hair, took out her cell phone, and called Si Ze again.
Just like before, he didn't answer. But he could vaguely hear Si Ze's phone ringing.
Yan Mo pricked up his ears and carefully identified the direction.
When the time was up, the call ended automatically, and Yan Mo immediately called again.
Listen to the sound and quickly determine the direction from which the sound comes.
She approached step by step, her heart tense. There was no moment when she wanted to see Si Ze more than now.
Getting closer and closer, a man with a broad, straight back was sitting on a park bench under a big tree, and his figure gradually grew bigger.
It’s him, Si Ze.
At this moment, Si Ze lowered his head, staring at the ringing phone in a daze.
"Mr. Si."
A clear, pleasant and familiar call was heard.
Si Ze suddenly looked up, turned back in disbelief, and looked at Yan Mo who was standing not far behind him.
My instinctive reaction was to immediately drop the cigarette butt and step on it.
The action was done in one go. Yan Mo was standing at the back, so he naturally didn't see it.
But she smelled a hint of pungent tobacco in the salty sea breeze.
He is smoking.
After knowing each other for so long, it seemed like this was the first time she saw Si Ze smoking.
Si Ze: "Why are you here?"
"Come and see why Mr. Si left his wife and children behind and hasn't gone up yet." Yan Mo walked up to Si Ze, sat down beside him, and answered casually.
"Wife?" Si Ze immediately grasped the key point of this sentence: "Did Xiao Lin tell you?"
"Yeah." Yan Mo nodded in acknowledgment.
"I just told her that." Si Ze explained, fearing that she would be angry.
Nodding again, Yan Mo indicated that he understood and waited for the next words.
There was a silence.
Is that it?
"Mr. Si, don't you have anything to say to me?" Yan Mo couldn't help but ask.
Yan Mo was sure that if she didn't ask, he would definitely sit here with her for an entire afternoon.
Si Ze did have something to ask her.
I want to ask her why she is hanging out with Lu Shanghua again.
But he was also afraid that she would be angry with him, not answer his calls, and ignore him.
"Won't it be uncomfortable if you hold it in?" Yan Mo joked.
When a girl asked him such a question in person, Si Ze blushed immediately, obviously thinking something wrong.
Yan Mo didn't understand why he was blushing, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing that Si Ze still had no intention of speaking, his expression began to become serious, and he asked directly: "Mr. Si, do you like me?"
After getting the answer from Xiao Lin, she also wanted to confirm it herself.
otherwise,
If Si Ze proves that he is not interested in her at all and it is all just an illusion, then she will be so embarrassed that her face will be thrown as far as the Pacific Ocean.
Yan Mo stared into his eyes, not missing any expression.
Their eyes met.
Si Ze was stunned, his face turning even redder. Why would she suddenly ask such a question? He didn't know where to put his hands, looking so bewildered.
One minute,
Two minutes,
Five minutes have passed.
"If you don't like it, then forget it." Yan Mo stood up and raised his foot to leave.
"I like you." Si Ze couldn't sit still anymore and grabbed Yan Mo's wrist. "Yan Mo, I like you. I don't know when it started. Maybe it was the first time in Jiangcheng when I saw your eyes that would rather die than surrender. Or maybe it was when I saw your confident look. Or maybe it was your concern when you told me to put on more clothes because it was cold. Every look is deeply engraved in my mind."
"Jiangcheng? So early?" Yan Mo was very surprised: "Then the contract can't be fake! Did you set a trap specifically for me to jump into?"
