What An Yiruo didn't know was that Mo Jingchen's desk was already piled high with documents, like a small mountain.
During the Spring Festival, although all domestic companies were closed for the holiday, international work continued.
During the Spring Festival, Mo Jingchen wanted to spend more time with An Yiruo, so he delegated all his work to Assistant Zhou.
So much so that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mo Jingchen sent Zhou a special red envelope to prevent Zhou from getting angry.
Although Assistant Zhou handled most of the meritorious service, there were still some details that Mo Jingchen needed to deal with personally.
That's why Mo Jingchen's desktop was piled high with files waiting to be processed on the first day of the new year!
Despite his busy work schedule, Mo Jingchen was still worried about An Yiruo. He put down his pen, took out his phone, and made a call.
I just wanted to hear her voice and see if An Yiruo was feeling unwell because of her pregnancy.
"Mr. Mo, you're getting a little too proud!"
"Honey, are you busy today? If you're not, come to Mo's and keep me company."
“No, the collaboration with Lu Ze’s studio is about to start after the New Year, and I need to go over the details again,” An Yiruo said into the receiver, rejecting Mo Jingchen’s suggestion.
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have agreed to let him cooperate with you in the first place!"
Mo Jingchen's tone at this moment carried a hint of dissatisfaction and helplessness!
"Partnering with Lu Ze can also increase our brand awareness, so why wouldn't we agree!"
"Okay, honey, take care and get some rest. Don't overwork yourself!"
Slightly aggrieved, Mo Jingchen hung up the phone. He was somewhat dissatisfied and unhappy.
"Assistant Zhou, come in for a moment," Mo Jingchen dialed the internal phone.
"Notify the senior management to hold a meeting in twenty minutes!"
Assistant Zhou was stunned for two seconds. There was no plan to hold a meeting with senior management today! Is it because... the boss is unhappy today?
"Yes, Mr. President."
After Assistant Zhou left, he silently mourned for the company's leadership for three seconds and prayed for his own good fortune.
...
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, people gather to watch the lanterns. The annual Lantern Festival is here, and the largest square in City A is already packed with people.
There were people selling lanterns and balloons, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
"Honey, do you want to go see the lanterns? I heard they're really beautiful this year," Mo Jingchen called An Yiruo just before he was about to leave work.
"Sure, I've seen pictures and videos online, they're quite beautiful."
An Yiruo was drawing a picture before answering the phone, but she became interested immediately upon hearing Mo Jingchen's suggestion.
"I'll come pick you up in a bit, then we'll go eat first, and then go see the lanterns."
"Okay, but you'll have to wait a bit when you get here. I only have one last part left to finish this drawing, and I want to finish it today!"
"Okay, take your time drawing, I'll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, An Yiruo wrote with a slightly faster pace, finishing twenty minutes earlier than expected.
“It’s over.” An Yiruo shook her slightly stiff shoulders, not daring to move too much, worried about hurting the baby in her belly.
She walked to the window and glanced outside. There, a familiar black Rolls-Royce was parked downstairs at her studio.
An Yiruo smiled, took the coat and bag from the hanger, and went downstairs to find Mo Jingchen.
"Hey, why did you get out of the car?" As soon as An Yiruo stepped out, she saw Mo Jingchen, dressed in a black coat and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, leaning against the hood of the Rolls-Royce, looking at her with affection in his eyes.
An Yiruo quickened her pace and "rushed" into Mo Jingchen's arms.
Mo Jingchen was worried that she would be cold, so he wrapped her in a long coat.
"I knew you were done when I saw the light in your office was off. Are you cold?"
"It's not cold, it's very warm."
"Get in the car first."
Mo Jingchen gentlemanly opened the car door for her. After she was settled, the man next to her produced a cup of milk tea from somewhere!
"The temperature is just right, and it's the flavor you like."
"So thoughtful!"
"It is my honor to serve you, Madam!" After saying that, Mo Jingchen said to the driver in front, "Drive."
Mo Jingchen brought An Yiruo to a Suzhou-style restaurant today.
Upon entering, An Yiruo immediately sensed the unusual nature of this restaurant.
If the outside world is bustling and vibrant, then this restaurant offers a feeling of both noise and tranquility.
It was like the paradise described in the book, a blessed land.
It allows people to forget the hustle and bustle of the city and relax during the meal.
The restaurant is huge, and the view alone takes up most of the restaurant's area.
The babbling stream, evergreen plants, and various flowers and grasses create a scene resembling a beautiful landscape painting.
The restaurant staff led the two to a private room, which was still decorated in an antique style.
"An'an, what do you want to eat?"
Mo Jingchen handed the menu to An Yiruo and let her choose for herself.
"Crab meat lion's head, cherry meat, squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, Wensi tofu..." After reviewing the dishes, An Yiruo added a dish of osmanthus sugar taro.
"Honey, is there anything else you'd like to add?" After ordering, An Yiruo looked up and asked Mo Jingchen for his opinion.
"That's all. Is this enough? Would you like some more?"
"No need, that's enough."
"Okay. That's all then. Serve the food as soon as possible," Mo Jingchen said to the staff member next to him.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The staff member took the menu, took two steps back, and then turned to leave.
"The environment here is nice and elegant."
After the staff left, An Yiruo shared her thoughts on the restaurant with Mo Jingchen.
"My wife likes it, so we'll come often."
Before An Yiruo could reply, there was a knock on the door.
"Hello, this is pre-dinner refreshments. Please enjoy." After placing the snacks, fruits, and tea in the room, the staff member left without disturbing the guests' dining experience.
"Even the snacks and fruits are so exquisite."
An Yiruo looked at the small portions of fruit and pastries on the plate, which were arranged exquisitely, and couldn't bear to touch them and ruin their beauty.
But this resistance lasted only five seconds. Driven by her cravings, An Yiruo finally reached for the delicate pastries.
"Drink some water. Is it really that delicious?" Mo Jingchen couldn't help but chuckle as he watched his beloved wife eat with relish.
"It's delicious, would you like to try some?" An Yiruo handed Mo Jingchen a piece of pastry, intending to share it with him.
"No, I'll save whatever my wife likes to eat."
"You'll regret it if you don't try it! It's really delicious."
"I'm waiting for my main meal!"
Upon hearing Mo Jingchen's words, An Yiruo couldn't help but frown. So... that's what this unscrupulous businessman was planning!
No wonder they don't eat dessert.
