Chapter 45: The Ending is Uncertain

Li Nuo had no idea what he was thinking. She just focused on drinking her drink and quickened her pace to get into the building to escape the heat.

Li Yan walked in front of him and helped open the door.

Mo Chuan fell back a few steps, waiting for Qin Xu to come over.

"Is your mouth glued shut? You're not saying a word."

"You've been noisy enough."

"...You and Secretary Li have been silent enough. If I don't say anything, Li Nuo will get bored."

“.......”

This is undeniable. Many people have described themselves as boring. Yang Wen has said this many times before.

The atmosphere can be adjusted only with Mo Chuan's presence, and Qin Xu himself admits this.

Li Yan himself is not a talkative person, and apart from caring about Li Nuo, he rarely speaks either.

However...

Qin Xu looked at Mo Chuan with some surprise.

"When did you ever care about other people's feelings?"

"I always care more than you do."

Mo Chuan answered nonchalantly with a faint smile.

"Qin Xu."

Qin Xu stopped in his tracks. Although he often called her by her first name before, he seldom called her by her first name after he started working in the company.

Mo Chuan walked in front of him and said, "I've really been a little abnormal recently."

“........”

“I really like him a little bit.”

How should I answer? I am the same. What kind of answer should I give?

Mo Chuan glanced at Qin Xu and could clearly see that he was wavering.

Qin Xu frowned, his face was full of thought, and his eyes were wandering.

Ha, Mo Chuan smiled silently. Qin Xu seemed to be very interested in Li Yan before, but now his attention was attracted by another person whom he originally disliked.

"I told you in advance that it's true that I care more about this than you do."

Mo Chuan seemed to be saying this jokingly, but Qin Xu could tell that he was serious and was warning him.

[I don't intend to quit, even if my opponent is you. ]

This time, Qin Xu suddenly laughed.

"Yeah, I've also found him quite interesting lately."

Mo Chuan raised his eyebrows, "You want to get involved, right?"

"It's not your turn to say that. Anyway, the outcome is still uncertain."

Qin Xu passed by him and walked towards the two people waiting in front.

Mo Chuan felt the dangerous scent passing by him and closed and opened his eyes again.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Li Nuo's bright smiling face in front of me. She waved at me and told me to come over quickly.

Mo Chuan couldn't help but walk over. When he realized what he had done, he secretly sighed. This was really not good. If his heart continued to wander, he wouldn't be able to give up so easily.

...........

Linuo was doing nothing for the whole afternoon.

The worst form of slacking off is lack of ability, and your leader won’t let you do this.

Linuo is in this situation now.

The work was handed over to the secretary and other directors' assistants. I was only responsible for organizing and copying documents. Even cleaning was done by someone else, so it was not my turn.

With nothing to do, Li Nuo was fiddling with the jasmine flowers on the table boredly. Unable to sit still, he stood up from his seat and walked out of the office to familiarize himself with the environment.

However, everyone was working hard, and Li Nuo felt ashamed and decided not to disturb them.

He took the elevator to the roof garden and prepared to breathe some outdoor air.

The rooftop garden for employees to rest was very nicely decorated. Li Nuo took a deep breath, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers filled his nose.

This place must be taken care of by someone, as there are several benches and hanging chairs in the garden, decorated with vines and flowers, and even a small swing.

Li Nuo looked around but didn't see anyone else.

Yes, this is the end of the workday.

After all, he had just been discharged from the hospital. Although he didn't do any manual labor today, work itself was an exhausting task, so he chose a hanging chair to sit on.

At this time, the sun has begun to set, and the magnificent sunset is like an ever-changing painting, which can be seen clearly from the top floor.

Li Nuo admired the scenery in front of him. The wind was not so hot this month. He smelled the faint fragrance of flowers and couldn't help but squint his eyes and yawn.

His eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and just before he fell asleep, he heard the door to the rooftop garden being opened. Was someone coming...?

The person who came in was Mo Chuan. He was holding a cell phone. After opening the door, he saw a familiar figure on the hanging chair and asked, "Why didn't you answer the phone?"

Without replying, Mo Chuan walked closer and said with a smile, "So he fell asleep."

Linuo leaned his head against the back of the hanging chair, and his whole body nestled into the chair very relaxedly, sleeping peacefully.

The golden light poured down and sprinkled on him, coating him with a layer of brilliance, which made Mo Chuan slightly stunned.

He reached out and gently stroked Linuo's cheek, muttering, "You're so defenseless. And, with your head tilted like this, aren't you afraid of having a sore neck when you wake up?"

He squatted down and carefully traced Li Nuo's face with his hands, from the forehead to the eyebrows and finally to the beautifully shaped lips.

Mo Chuan used very light force. Li Nuo only felt a little itchy on his face. He thought it was a mosquito and waved his right hand around.

Mo Chuan found it funny. He used a little force with his hand that was tracing the lips, and the soft lip flesh sank a little. The soft touch under his hand made his heart move slightly.

He couldn't help but stand up and move closer, so close that he could smell her breathing, but he stopped.

Staring at the long eyelashes so close to him, his eyes were deep and he wanted to kiss her directly, but in the end he sighed, shifted his position, and kissed Li Nuo on the forehead.

It was a very gentle kiss, and it fell like a feather. To be precise, Mo Chuan just touched it lightly with his lips, with a very cherishing meaning.

He moved a little further away, staring at the still sleeping Li Nuo, and muttered to himself: "It's impossible to let go now."

When he stood up, he saw the phone on Li Nuo's lap light up, and the caller ID read "Dear brother."

Dear? Mo Chuan raised his eyebrows. Why was he so unfamiliar in adding a note to himself, just using his name directly?

Feeling unhappy, he ignored his phone and watched the page go off.

By the way, I glanced at the time. It had been a while since I got off work. No wonder Li Yan was a little anxious when he couldn't see his brother.

Thinking that he couldn't find Li Nuo anymore, Li Yan probably went crazy, so Mo Chuan reached out and picked him up.

Li Nuo was suddenly moved in his sleep, and woke up suddenly. He saw Mo Chuan's chin when he opened his eyes. He was speechless and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Are you awake, Your Highness?" Mo Chuan lowered his head and smiled.

"......Who is the princess?" Li Nuo struggled in his arms for a while, feeling very uncomfortable being held by someone, "I can walk by myself."

"Okay, okay," Mo Chuan, who had just kissed someone, felt a little guilty and put the person down. "But you fell asleep sitting here. Are you really too tired from work?"

"Well, actually there's nothing to do. Maybe it's because it's my first time working full-time, so I'm not used to it." Li Nuo smiled sheepishly, then said pleadingly, "Don't tell Li Yan."

Looking at his cute pose with his hands clasped together, Mo Chuan couldn't resist and had to nod in agreement, "Go home and have a good rest tonight. If you are really tired, forget about going to work."

"No, that won't work. It's so hard for me to find something I want to do." I don't want to stay alone in the hospital, and it's also boring to be alone at home.

"What time is it now?" Li Nuo took out his cell phone and saw dozens of missed calls. "Wow, so many calls. Oh no, Li Yan must be worried sick."

He hurriedly called back, and the call was answered immediately, and Li Yan's voice came through immediately.

Li Nuo carefully told him that he had just come out of the rooftop garden. Li Yan said, "Wait for me there," and hung up the phone.

Li Nuo stopped and looked at Mo Chuan who was laughing beside him. He said helplessly: "Can't you just tell him I'm here?"

Mo Chuan spread his hands and said, "You seem to be sleeping, so it's better not to disturb you."

Soon, the sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor was heard, and Li Yan, holding a mobile phone with an anxious look on his face, appeared not far away.

"elder brother!"

"Um, sorry, my phone was muted and I put it in my pocket so I didn't see it." Li Nuo apologized first.

Li Yan shook his head, "I don't mean to blame you, but............"

He squinted his eyes and asked, "Why is Director Mo here?"

Mo Chuan shrugged, "We met by chance."

Li Yan snorted and put his hand on his brother's shoulder, "Let's go back, brother, you must be hungry."

The three of them left the building, and Mo Chuan waved from his seat in the car: "Do you really not want me to take you back?"

Li Yan didn't even look at him, he lowered his head and asked, "Brother, what do you want to eat tonight? No spicy food."

Li Nuo raised his hand and waved to Mo Chuan as a farewell. Fortunately, most people had left the company by now, otherwise the three of them would have attracted a lot of attention.

"See you tomorrow."

He didn't tell Li Yan that Mo Chuan had just hugged him, because if he told him, it would probably make Li Yan even more depressed.

The next day, Li Nuo was fiddling with the new flowers on the table. According to Secretary Yang, Mo Chuan came to replace them early in the morning.

The jasmine flowers yesterday were still intact. Li Nuo shook his head, "What a waste."

The next few days went on as usual. I went to work and was taken out for lunch at noon. Mo Chuan and Qin Xu would follow every time.

People in the company were surprised at first and talked about it a lot, but after seeing it many times, they got used to it, and they didn't know who had made the move, so the voices discussing the identity were suppressed.

Early that morning, Li Nuo came to the office and saw the same bouquet of flowers on the table as yesterday. He was a little confused and turned to ask Li Yan, "Is Director Mo on a business trip?"

Li Yan nodded, looking very happy, "Yes, I flew last night."

Secretary Yang at the side continued: "It will probably take two weeks."

"Two weeks, so I'm afraid I won't be able to see you when I'm in the company." Li Nuo's voice sounded a little regretful.

Li Yan wanted to ask him if he hoped to see Director Mo, but was afraid of getting a positive answer, so he swallowed the question.

Secretary Yang pricked up his ears and said with a smile, "He may come back earlier than planned. I heard that he started working hard as soon as he got off the plane."

Li Yan glanced at Secretary Yang with a look that said "Why are you talking nonsense?" Secretary Yang decisively ignored his gaze.

"actually........"

He moved slightly closer to Li Nuo and lowered his voice, "It will probably only take about a week for us to be back. The employees who went on the business trip with us complained a lot. They didn't get any rest at all. They started to work hard as soon as they landed."

"Why? Are you so busy?"

"I heard that they wanted to compress the time and squeeze what happened last week into one week."

Li Nuo's eyes widened. "That would be very hard."

"Yes, it's rare for Director Mo to be so energetic. I don't know why." Secretary Yang glanced at Li Nuo and said meaningfully, "It will be hard for those who go with us."

Li Yan, who could no longer bear it, interrupted, "Secretary Yang, it's time for you to report your work."

"Yes, yes, you see I'm collecting the materials."

“........”

"I don't know how hard it was for me when you were away that week. I worked two jobs and didn't even get overtime pay."

“.......”

Secretary Yang glared at him and said, "I really hope someone can understand my hard work."

Ah, I'm angry.

Li Yan stared at Secretary Yang's back as he walked into the inner room, and covered his forehead helplessly.

If Secretary Yang gets angry, his and Li Nuo's ears will suffer. His weird voice will linger in their minds even when they sleep at night.

Fortunately, the solution is simple.

Just drink sake, please.

So, the three of them agreed to go to a pub for dinner after get off work.

As a result, when it was almost time to get off work, Qin Xu came out. Looking at the excited looks of the three people, he raised his eyebrows and chose to join.
