Si Ze twisted the corner of the quilt for her, kissed her on the forehead, and finally stood up, turned around, opened the door and prepared to leave.
"Si Ze, where are you going?" Yan Mo opened his eyes, sat up, and shouted anxiously.
Yan Mo woke up the moment Si Ze kissed her, but she pretended to be asleep because she was afraid that he would do something to her. After all, the promise would expire after today.
Seeing her wake up, Si Ze turned back and squatted down at the edge of the bed. He reached out and gently tucked the wet hair that was sticking to her face behind her ears, and said softly:
"Momo, I'm going out for a while."
"Is there something urgent?" Yan Mo was anxious.
Something big must have happened if he needed to deal with it so late. Yan Mo was worried and quickly got up and prepared to put on his clothes: "I'll go with you."
Si Ze stretched out his hands and immediately pressed Yan Mo's shoulders to stop her movements, and explained:
"Don't worry, Xun Jiage suddenly had a high fever of 40 degrees in City A. I was worried, so I went to check on him."
"City A? Then can you come back tomorrow?" Yan Mo asked gloomily. She didn't even realize that she was reluctant to be separated from him for even a second.
"I'll be back as soon as possible." Si Ze touched her head and comforted her with a smile.
He didn't tell her that in fact he was not only going to City A, but also to most of Zhenghong's other branches. Xun Jiage was sick, so Si Ze had to take over the work he was doing.
Two years ago, he estimated that it would be difficult for him to have free time to accompany her. Thinking of this, Si Ze immediately decided in his heart that the first thing he would do when he went to City A was to find the best doctor for Xun Jiage and cure him as soon as possible.
Xun Jiage: "Boss Si, thank you. I think it's better for me to stay in bed."
Hearing that Xun Jiage was sick, Yan Mo naturally knew the position Xun Jiage held in Si Ze's heart. He changed his reluctant attitude and reached out to push Si Ze, urging him:
"Then go quickly! Finding Jiage is the most important thing." At the same time, he reminded her, "Please take care of yourself."
The flu has been so severe recently that Yan Mo has to worry.
"Well, I'll be leaving first. Remember to call me every night," Si Ze said as he helped Yan Mo lie down. Without further hesitation, he stood up decisively, opened the door, and left.
"Okay." Yan Mo smiled and waved his hand, looking at the completely closed door, the corners of his mouth drooped.
Suddenly, she felt empty inside. Yan Mo kept scolding herself for being useless. After that, she could only force herself to close her eyes.
The next day.
Yan Mo woke up at a fixed time. The store would be under renovation for a long period of time recently, so she set her biological clock last night to avoid oversleeping and delaying things.
She quickly packed herself up, had breakfast, and went out. Before the materials arrived, Yan Mo arrived at the store. She had received goods from three companies in the morning, and she went to choose the interior design of the store in the morning.
The busy schedule lasted until the evening, and Yan Mo didn't get home until dark. Worried about Si Ze's situation in City A, she ran to the balcony of her room and contacted Si Ze as soon as she got home.
After confirming that Xun Jiage was fine and Si Ze was also fine, they chatted for a while and Yan Mo took the initiative to end the call. She was too tired and sleepy to hold on any longer, so she hurriedly took a shower and went to bed.
The next day, Yan Mo was as busy as yesterday, running back and forth between the store, home and the building materials city. This continued for a long time afterwards.
In the blink of an eye.
Nearly a month has passed unknowingly, and the store has basically taken shape. Breaking the traditional dark design of Western restaurants, the entire restaurant is dominated by bright milky white, with a double-row design. There are independent round chairs by the window, and a bar design next to the stairs on the other side. With unique painting tools, decorations, and gorgeous dark yellow chandeliers, the restaurant gives people a romantic and sentimental feeling, full of girlish feeling.
Yan Mo stood at the door, admiring his achievements of the past month, feeling quite satisfied.
"Xiao Mo, you're pretty quick." The speaker was the owner of the convenience store next door, a man who was nearly fifty years old. After spending nearly a month together, Yan Mo and the couple who owned the convenience store had become very familiar with each other. The couple was very welcoming and would sometimes take small items or tools from Yan Mo and lend them to her.
"Yeah." Yan Mo nodded with a smile.
The boss stood at the door, looking at the still empty door, and asked casually:
"Xiao Mo, haven't you thought of a name for your store yet?"
Yan Mo smiled faintly and said nothing. She had specially left this name for Si Ze to choose when he came back. This was something they had discussed on the phone, and Yan Mo also hoped that Si Ze would be involved.
The boss next door kindly reminded:
"Xiao Mo, your store should be open for trial operation next week! You should get it ready soon to avoid any setbacks."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Jiang."
Uncle Jiang looked at the unique decoration style of Yan Mo's shop and praised him:
"Xiao Mo, you have a really good eye. At that time, I was worried that this kind of ancient-style house would not be able to handle this kind of decoration. Now it seems that I was redundant. It looks really beautiful."
"Not bad." Yan Mo said modestly.
Afterwards, Uncle Jiang went closer to admire it for a while. He came back only after his wife called him. Before leaving, he read Yan Mo's fortune and said that her store would definitely be popular because there were basically no similar stores nearby.
After seeing off Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang, Yan Mo packed up her things and prepared to go home. Just as she was packing up the chair she had just given to Uncle Jiang to sit on, a big hand got there before her, picked up the chair and took it inside.
"Mr. Fu, why are you here?" Yan Mo was surprised and asked from one meter away.
Ever since the last time, she instinctively didn't want to be too close to him, and one meter was the limit she could accept.
Fu Haonan didn't care about Yan Mo's deliberate distance. He walked to a seat not far from the bar and sat down, his eyes revealing visible fatigue.
Yan Mo was not interested in knowing what happened to him, and asked again about his purpose:
"Mr. Fu, is there anything that brings you here?" It's not time to pay the rent yet!
Fu Haonan hesitated to speak, and finally sighed. He looked at the fully stocked bar and asked, "Is everything ready?"
She really didn't want to answer, but out of politeness, she nodded.
"Give me a steak! I'll open a restaurant for you."
"No." Yan Mo refused.
"You don't want to do business?" Fu Haonan was puzzled.
Yan Mo rolled his eyes: "The ingredients won't be delivered until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Fu Haonan understood, but did not force it. He dusted himself off, stood up, and said:
"Then I'm leaving."
Yan Mo nodded and looked at Fu Haonan's departing back, feeling a little puzzled.
It's really strange that he came here so early without saying anything or doing anything.
However, Yan Mo didn't have time to think about it. He picked up his bag, locked the door, left the store, and walked out of the alley.
