Gu Anran was afraid that Mo Ling would be saddened by what had happened before, so she planned to talk to her and offer some guidance. She thought that keeping it bottled up inside would be harmful to her physical and mental health.
That evening, Gu Anran drove to Mo Ling's house as she had planned, intending to have a good talk with her.
"Ding-dong!" Although she had the house's password, Gu Anran thought it was better to ring the doorbell, just in case the person was inconvenient, right?
With a click, the person inside opened the door and peeked out. Upon seeing Gu Anran, they exclaimed happily.
"Auntie, you're here! I've missed you so much. Come in quickly."
"Little girl, I've come to have a chat with you."
Mo Ling couldn't help but act coquettishly towards Gu Anran, the trust and intimacy in her tone making the atmosphere warm.
The two entered together and sat on the soft sofa. Mo Ling quickly prepared a cup of tea and placed it in front of Gu Anran. Gu Anran picked up the teacup, took a slow sip, and then asked hesitantly with concern, "How have you been lately? How are you feeling? Have you been affected by what happened before? Don't keep things bottled up, you should talk about it."
Mo Ling smiled sweetly, touched by the concern in Gu Anran's voice. "Oh, I'm fine. How could something like this defeat me? Don't worry, Auntie, I'm perfectly fine."
Seeing the genuine expression on Mo Ling's face, Gu Anran breathed a sigh of relief and asked warmly like a friend, "So, how are things going between you and Gu Xiaotian?"
While watching the spectacle, Gu Anran didn't realize that the other person was her son. Instead, she happily continued to interrogate the two of them.
Mo Ling felt a little shy for a moment, and looked at Gu Anran with embarrassment. Gu Anran immediately caught the look and widened her eyes, asking excitedly as if she were watching a show: "Judging from your eyes, you two seem to be something special. Tell me, how far have you gotten? Tell me the truth. My son is like Tang Sanzang, still able to remain unmoved by a woman in his lap. I can't stand it anymore. He's not following the rules."
Mo Ling happily covered her face, her cheeks already flushed pink, and said in a tiny, ant-like gesture, "We're together now, we're officially a couple. He confessed first, took me to the mountaintop, saying it was to clear my head, but I never expected this."
Seeing them like this, Gu Anran winked and teased, "Oh my, you two have finally tied the knot! My son has suddenly become more romantic, it's incredible!"
But Gu Anran noticed Mo Ling's momentary sadness and immediately understood why, offering words of comfort.
“You don’t need to feel any pressure. His father and I both know you and approve of you. It’s just that your time hasn’t come yet. You should know that gold will always shine. Besides, my son is so cold and aloof. Who can stand him? He finally met a girl who isn’t afraid of him, who he likes, and who is good in every way. I’m afraid he’ll become a monk.”
Mo Ling felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing her words of comfort. After hearing the second half of the sentence, she said shyly, "No, Gu Xiaotian is great, very capable, and he's also very good to me. I like him very much."
Seeing this expression, Gu Anran chuckled and said, "It's good that you like it, but I have to remind you to be careful about the backstabbing and infighting at work. These are basic things in society, so be careful, in case someone tries to sabotage you."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Sister Anran."
After Mo Ling got up in the morning and went to work, as soon as she sat down at her seat, one person after another came to her, trying to get close to her.
"Here, this is the coffee I made for you. You've looked quite tired lately, so this is hand-ground coffee!"
"Oh, this is a dress I bought yesterday. It looked so good on you, so I bought it for you as a gift."
"See this? This is a new backrest pillow I bought. I noticed you don't seem to have any of these things to use as a pillow during your lunch break, so I bought one for you in case you get a stiff neck or something. It's also for your safety."
Before Mo Ling could even refuse, everyone put their things down and ran off in a flash. Soon, Mo Ling's desk was piled high with things of all sizes. This made Mo Ling, who had originally wanted to spend the day peacefully working, feel a headache coming on as she looked at the mess on her desk. She sighed silently, "Sigh..."
Fortunately, no one got too close to her, and no one pretended to be familiar with her and tried to drag her to the bathroom. Otherwise, Mo Ling would have been unsure how to face them.
Gu Xiaotian was momentarily stunned and excited when he thought about how the two of them had confirmed their relationship yesterday. Then, as if remembering something, he opened the search box on his computer and typed out some surprising search terms: how to date, what to do in a relationship.
Gu Xiaotian silently noted down some of the more reliable suggestions in his mind, and then couldn't wait to leave work early, go to the garage to get his car, and pick up Mo Ling.
On the way, Gu Xiaotian suddenly remembered a tip he had seen: buying flowers for your girlfriend when you see her can create a little romance and fun, which can further enhance your relationship and make it even more passionate.
Gu Xiaotian coughed casually, then looked at the flower shop with the highest ratings before driving there to buy a bunch of bright, vibrant roses still glistening with dew, intending to pick up his girlfriend, since it was their first day together.
When Mo Ling walked out of the company after get off work, she saw a tall, muscular man with a natural clothes hanger leaning against the car door, as if waiting for something. When he turned his head, Mo Ling clearly heard a girl next to her exclaim in surprise. She couldn't help but purse her lips as she watched his handsome and familiar face slowly walk towards her with a bright red rose in his hand.
"Let's go."
"Wow, so handsome! His voice is so nice too. Oh my god, I love it! I want a boyfriend like that too."
Hearing the envious voices of her female colleagues, Mo Ling, holding the roses, was helped into the car by Gu Xiaotian, who even protected her head to prevent it from bumping, before walking briskly to the driver's seat.
Gu Xiaotian made a special plan and took Mo Ling on their first date. The two first took photos in a beautiful scenic spot and posted them on Weibo. Then they went to the claw machine. Although it cost 100 coins, they managed to win a big plush toy and several small plush toys.
Mo Ling happily hugged the big panda plush toy, while her boyfriend held the smaller one. The two planned to buy matching outfits.
The two walked to the store entrance, held hands, and went inside to shop. Neither of them liked bright and eye-catching colors, so they chose a calm and understated black and white suit and skirt. It was obvious what kind of relationship they had. The date was a complete success. They were both exhausted but very happy.
