Although she deliberately presented herself as very strong during this period, she also became much more clear-headed when socializing, and always left some wine behind when drinking, so as not to be taken advantage of.
But this kind of life was not what she wanted. It was too hard and too tiring, and she had nowhere to vent. She couldn't talk about it at home, nor could she show any vulnerability at the company.
It's too tiring...
"..." Mo Yanyu sighed helplessly. This was because his heartache for her outweighed his own principles. He bent down and picked her up in his arms.
A large, handsome hand gently patted her back. The frail person in his arms seemed to have cried herself to sleep, and her cries were no longer as loud as before.
But she was still whimpering in his arms.
He sighed softly, resting his chin on Ji Yao's head, as if helpless yet resigned, and said, "I didn't mean to bully you, I just wanted you to be happier."
He had naturally heard about some of the changes that had happened in her family during this period.
That's why I feel so sorry for her...
"Yaoyao, you're a good girl, so good that I don't want to hurt you. It's really not worth it for me to do this."
“I told you I would take you home tomorrow if you were willing, and we should settle this matter as soon as possible.”
But in Ji Yao's eyes, it was as if they were silently asking her, "Why do they have to continue torturing each other like this?"
Tears welled up in Ji Yao's eyes and spilled out, two streams of tears falling into her mouth, carrying a hint of bitterness. She looked up at the ceiling, trying her best to force the tears back.
"Mo Yanyu, I shouldn't have done this anymore..."
"I'm letting you go... From now on... you're free!"
She had tried to numb herself, even telling herself many things. She kept telling herself that Mo Yanyu wasn't the best, that there were better people in the world, people more suitable for her!
But every time she was like this, a voice in her heart would remind her: no one can replace Mo Yanyu, because there is only one Mo Yanyu!
So every time she tormented herself, leaving herself scarred, she still couldn't remove him from the depths of her heart. Mo Yanyu seemed to have become a curse, a curse she couldn't escape or forget!
"Yan Yan..." Ji Yao seemed to be bewitched, and used her right hand to turn his face to her side, covering his lips with her soft lips and giving him a light, fleeting kiss.
She even managed to struggle off him and stand up during that brief moment.
She had lost all her high heels in the hallway.
Mo Yanyu's body stiffened.
In an instant, the noise around them seemed to be completely shut out. Even though they were still in a noisy environment like a bar, they still couldn't help but create their own world.
The two of them had formed a completely independent space, and this time they were so immersed in their own world that they could no longer hear the voices of others.
However, this situation only lasted for less than two seconds before Mo Yanyu pushed her away. To his surprise, as soon as his hand touched Ji Yao's shoulder, she seemed to turn into a lump of soft mud and immediately collapsed.
Fortunately, he caught her in time, preventing Ji Yao from having a close encounter with the ground!
But when he looked over there, he was inevitably shocked once again.
"Yan Yan..."
Ji Yao in his arms murmured unconsciously, her hands clutching her clothes tightly, her eyes burning with sincerity, and a bitter smile revealing the pain of unrequited love...
Mo Yanyu's brow twitched, and he covered Ji Yao's small hand with his large hand, preparing to pull his hand off. However, the small hand, which seemed to have little strength, could not be pulled off no matter how hard he tried.
He used a little more force, and the person in his arms groaned, snuggling closer to him in dissatisfaction.
Even when she was asleep, she instinctively snuggled closer to Mo Yanyu's chest.
With a complicated expression, Mo Yanyu gently brushed her hair aside, carefully tidying up the stray strands and tucking them behind her ear with the softest touch imaginable.
"Yaoyao, what should I do?"
What exactly did he want her to do? He had considered backing down, but Ji Yao's previous actions showed that even if he retreated, she would relentlessly pursue him!
but…
He was really worried if he stayed with Ji Yao like this.
For him, the most painful thing in the world was not being unable to be together because of love, but being separated from the one he loved forever because of his own actions…
Yao Yao, why can't you understand? We're not together not because we don't love each other, but because I want to protect you better!
Those watching them were utterly astonished.
"Where's my brother?" Mo Xiaoqing's beautiful eyes searched around in the crowd.
Mo Tingqi smiled faintly, then nodded his chin toward Mo Yanyu, "Here."
Mo Xiaoqing followed his gaze and immediately saw two figures intertwined. A knowing smile appeared on her lips.
"That's your friend, isn't it?" Mo Tingqi asked with a half-smile.
"I won't tell you!" Mo Xiaoqing blinked.
She wasn't going to tell her third brother. She knew his personality best; he was the kind of person who loved watching others struggle and suffer in vain…
