Qi Jun found a sofa chair and sat down. He opened the book and began to read the novel attentively.
Mo Yang hid on the other side of the hollow partition, quietly watching Qi Jun reading.
Qi Jun's coffee arrived. He took a sip of it and thought it tasted good, so he put down the coffee cup.
Qi Jun just drank coffee and read a book.
Two hours later, Qi Jun finished reading Red Fingers. He drank the last sip of his cold coffee and stood up.
Mo Yang thought Qi Jun was about to leave, but Qi Jun walked around the partition wall and went straight to Mo Yang's coffee table.
Under Mo Yang's surprised gaze, Qi Jun sat down opposite her with confidence.
Qi Jun was calm and frank towards Mo Yang, but Mo Yang's heart was in turmoil.
"You..." Mo Yang started to speak, but didn't know what to say.
Qi Jun smiled at her, then suddenly spoke, a rather incoherent sentence, "When I was very young, my mother told me I was adopted. Despite this, they still loved me and cared for me deeply. They never gave me hard time about food, clothing, and daily expenses, but they held me to very high standards when it came to painting."
"When I was just learning to paint, I also lost my temper, threw paint, and smashed the easel. But with my parents' encouragement, I persisted and became a well-known young painter."
"As you expected, I have become a promising young man."
Qi Jun smiled with tears in his eyes. He said to Mo Yang, "I'm doing well. You can rest assured."
When Mo Yang heard the last sentence, she suddenly covered her lips with her hands and lowered her head to sob.
Qi Jun was very patient and gentle. He took out a soft tissue and handed it to Mo Yang.
Mo Yang took the tissue and wiped her tears. She cried for a while before she calmed down a little.
Mo Yang calmed down and gave Qi Jun an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
Qi Jun said: "No."
Mo Yang smiled, her eyes fixed on the sky, afraid that tears would fall again. She endured for a while, and after the sour feeling in her chest dissipated, she asked Qi Jun, "Do you know I exist?"
Qi Jun nodded, "I know. Over the years, your mother, my grandmother, has been communicating with my family."
So since childhood Qi Jun knew that his biological mother lived in the faraway Shu, found a new husband, and gave birth to a daughter.
He has never seen his mother, but he has a photo of her.
So when Qi Jun saw Mo Yang for the first time a few days ago, he recognized Mo Yang. These days, Qi Jun also found that Mo Yang was secretly paying attention to him.
Qi Jun could understand Mo Yang's actions back then. After all, in that era, it was not easy for an unmarried woman to raise a child alone.
Although Qi Jun understood Mo Yang, he didn't have strong feelings for her. To Qi Jun, his mother was the gentle yet strict woman in the family.
Mo Yang felt like crying again when she learned that her mother had always cared about Qi Jun and had even told him about her. She had always blamed her mother for being cruel, but she didn't realize that her mother had always been silently caring about her child.
Qi Jun stood up and bowed to Mo Yang. "Ms. Mo," Qi Jun told her, "I understand your decision back then, and I don't blame you, but please forgive me for not being able to call you mother. To reassure my parents, I will never see you again."
"Please forgive me!"
This is what Qi Jun was thinking.
These words were undoubtedly heartbreaking to Mo Yang, but since the child didn't blame him, Mo Yang was already content.
She had no plans to recognize Qi Jun, and it was fine as it was now.
Mo Yang wiped away the tears that were about to burst out again. She nodded and said, "Thank you for never blaming me."
Qi Jun still just looked at her gently.
Mo Yang added, "Child, I wish you happiness and a peaceful life. I..." Mo Yang turned her head away and choked up, saying, "I will pray for you."
Qi Jun said hello, picked up his bag and left.
After staying on Jinsuo Island for so many days and meeting the people he should meet, it was time for him to leave.
The day after Qi Jun left, Mo Yang and Mo Fengying also boarded a flight home. It was also on this day that Mo Suixin received many pictures, each of which featured Mo Yang and Qi Jun.
Mo Suixin looked gloomily at Qi Jun's appearance in the photo. He suddenly picked up his phone and made a call. When the call was connected, a weak but fierce male voice rang out: "Master Mo?"
"Mr. Zhong, I can cure your illness."
Hearing this, Mr. Zhong on the other end of the phone was ecstatic, but then he thought about how the head of the Mo family had refused to treat him before, and his sudden change of attitude was most likely because he needed help from him.
Mr. Zhong asked hesitantly, "Master Mo, how can I help you?"
"Mr. Zhong is a smart man." Mo Suixin's mind flashed through Mo Yang's active flattery over the past few days, as well as the appearance of that young man, and his face became increasingly gloomy.
"I want someone to disappear from this world."
Mr. Zhong was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone. Ultimately, his desire to survive overcame his conscience. "Who?"
"Qi Jun."

When Mo Yang and Mo Fengying came back, they brought bags full of gifts.
After getting off the helicopter, Mo Yang saw Mo Suixin standing on the apron waiting for them. He smiled and walked over to hug Mo Suixin.
"We're back."
Mo Suixin smiled and touched Mo Yang's hair, then asked her, "Did you have fun?"
Mo Yang nodded and replied, "It's not bad. The environment over there is very beautiful. If there is a chance, I would like to go there with you again."
Mo Suixin promised, "There will be that opportunity."
Mo Fengying stood behind Mo Yang, listening quietly to her parents talking to each other.
If it were in the past, hearing such words, Mo Fengying would only think that her parents had a deep love. But after learning about the grievances between her parents when they were young, hearing these words again, she felt that Mo Yang was deceiving Mo Suixin.
Mo Fengying felt sorry for her paranoid father.
A forced melon is not sweet, and a forced person is heartless. She understands this principle, so why doesn't her father understand it?
