Once at the company, after Gu Xiaotian finished what he had come to do, he resolutely clenched Mo Ling's hand tightly, as if he wanted the two of them to never be separated, until the end of time, until the seas dried up and the rocks crumbled, and then turned and left with a dashing air.
Looking at their intertwined hands, Mo Ling felt a surge of sweetness and a strong sense of security. It was as if time had stood still in Mo Ling's eyes, with no one around and only the two of them slowly walking out of the company gate.
Mo Ling couldn't help but squint her crescent-shaped eyes and smile sweetly like a kitten. Gu Xiaotian suddenly turned around and looked at Mo Ling, who was laughing happily, following the hand of the two of them.
Seeing the other person's smile, Gu Xiaotian inexplicably started to smile too. Just then, a passerby walked by, saw the pink bubble between the two, and exclaimed in despair, "Oh my god, I only took a glance, how did I get such a huge dose of PDA? What am I, a national first-class protected animal and a single dog, supposed to do? In broad daylight, sigh."
After saying that, she sighed and walked away like a dramatic woman.
After the two left, Gu Anran quickly called on everyone to get to work. Everyone started cooking enthusiastically. Gu Anran sat comfortably in her chair, her mind wandering to Gu Xiaotian and Mo Ling's future life. Thinking about her grandson who might be born in a few years, she chuckled to herself, her face full of slyness.
It's chubby and white, smells of milk, is soft and incredibly docile. The way it clings to your clothes fills you with a sense of responsibility. How could anyone not like it?
The official website of Gu Anran's company posted photos of the three families and Mo Ling. The meaning of their support was self-evident. Anyone with a brain could understand what it meant, and it successfully shut some people up. However, it still couldn't hide their dark and extreme thoughts.
This made a group of onlookers very happy, looking at it like a dish to go with rice, and they were all grinning from ear to ear.
The boss also personally explained to everyone the relationship between Mo Ling and Gu Anran's family, and also gave them a warning.
“Listen, I want this company to be a place where we can work well and be united and friendly, not a place where a few idle people turn this solemn place into a mess and make wild guesses about others. We don’t need those who spread rumors. You should go to the HR department to process your resignation.”
"Speaking without evidence and deliberately spreading rumors. If I find out about this again, you're out of here. Our company doesn't need people who don't focus on their work," the boss said, giving the employee a serious look with a clear warning in his eyes before storming off.
As the situation unfolded and was clarified, the online sentiment quickly shifted.
The company was buzzing with discussion about Mo Ling. Everyone was acting like they'd never had meat in centuries, gossiping and discussing it like crazy.
"Hey, you know what's been going on lately? My god, this gossip is so juicy and satisfying, I almost want to grab a stool and watch. Look, those women are always gossipy, they can accuse someone of seduction just by walking down the street. They've never had a good reputation, and everyone hates them. Now look, they've finally met their match. It's really getting back at us, it's so satisfying."
"That's right, you know? Last time, there was a woman who was gossiped about by them. When she tried to reason with them, they acted like, 'What can you do to me?' It made Mo Ling so angry that she couldn't eat. And then they got worse and worse, which led Mo Ling to quit her job."
Their voices faded into the distance. As the saying goes, "Disaster comes from the mouth." Mind your own business before you try to control others.
Gu Xiaotian was speaking to Mo Ling with some anxiety.
"After something like this happened, I'm feeling pretty down. How about we go to the top of the mountain, relax, and enjoy the beautiful natural scenery?"
"Okay, let's go now, there's no time like the present."
Mo Ling looked up at the clear blue sky and bright sunshine, and said in a lazy, low voice, "And the weather is also very nice today, cool and cloudless, perfect for us to go up the mountain."
Seeing that Mo Ling agreed so readily, Gu Xiaotian didn't dawdle and drove his car at a steady speed toward a mountain he liked and often visited.
The two reached the mountaintop smoothly. Gu Xiaotian looked at Mo Ling, who was smiling brightly beside him, and his expression softened unconsciously. Gu Xiaotian moved his somewhat stiff body and said in a slightly abnormal voice.
"You know what? Actually, I don't know when it started, but every little thing about you has unconsciously become a part of my life. I've gradually gotten used to you, but I'm not used to caring about you or paying attention to your every move. Every look in your eyes and every little gesture of yours makes me feel that you are especially cute and deeply attracts me."
"But as I got to know you better, I discovered a different you. You were strong, uncompromising, and unwavering. You persisted in your dreams, never forgot your original aspirations, and worked hard to prove to the world that you could do it. But whenever you were sad or unhappy, I was so angry that I wanted to beat up the person who made you angry."
Mo Ling was a bit bewildered by Gu Xiaotian's sudden words, feeling dizzy and disoriented, as if she hadn't quite woken up yet. She was confused and at a loss, but when she saw Gu Xiaotian staring straight into her eyes, she couldn't help but fall into the dark vortex within them. Mo Ling knew she was doomed, completely succumbed.
Mo Ling's cheeks flushed pink, and her eyes welled up with tears as she looked around, moved by her emotions.
"You know what? You're so outstanding, so outstanding that I always feel inferior, wondering if I'm good enough for you. I don't dare to surpass that connection, afraid that you don't actually like me, afraid that we can never go back to the happy times we had before. And how many beautiful girls would want to be with you? Just by snapping your fingers, a whole bunch of outstanding girls would rush towards you. I..."
Seeing Mo Ling's hesitant expression, Gu Xiaotian anxiously pulled her shoulders and said seriously, "Even if they are outstanding, in my eyes you are the best. Guess what makes me fall in love and makes me want to pay attention to you all the time? Besides, there is no such thing as being a good match or not in love. Even if you are there, it is useless if you don't like me. So..."
Gu Xiaotian looked at Mo Ling with sincere eyes, the desire in his eyes undisguised.
"I love you, I want to be with you, I want you to be my wife, my lady, the mother of my future children, my life partner, will you be with me?"
Mo Ling felt much better when she said those words in her heart. Now, looking at the man in front of her, Mo Ling couldn't refuse and couldn't help but say, "I do."
Gu Xiaotian couldn't wait to hug Mo Ling.
