After sending Min Zijun and his son back, Chu Mohan drove Shao Yatong away in the car. Shao Yatong couldn't help but look at Chu Mohan while sitting in the passenger seat.
"What's wrong? Why do you keep looking at me?" Chu Mohan noticed that Shao Yatong was secretly looking at him.
Shao Yatong pursed her lips and turned her head towards the window with a smile. She was happy that she didn't hate this "devil" now, and felt relieved that she could see this side of Chu Mohan clearly.
Chu Mohan felt a lot more relaxed. Although he was a little tired, he still drove to Haishan Villa instead of returning to Luyun Villa nearby. He felt that only in Haishan Villa was he truly himself, and he could feel free there!
More importantly, he can express himself unscrupulously there and do what he wants. He is the boss of Hualong Company, not an employee of Chuhang!
For several days, the two of them stayed in the Haishan Villa. Sometimes they went to do their own things. Chu Mohan didn't show up, but everything was within his plan. Hualong Company could move into Chujiadong soon.
That commercial building on the Second Ring Road. As soon as he moved in, he needed a lot of fresh blood to enrich the company. He wanted to be the best! Shao Yatong was alone in the studio painting his favorite pictures.
After finishing their respective affairs, the two of them would get together, either drinking tea in the yard and cooling off, or going for a walk on the beach hand in hand, or they would paint together quietly while looking at the mountains and sea in the distance.
Shao Yatong really hoped that time would freeze at this moment, allowing her to live such a happy and peaceful life, but she knew that this was just an extravagant wish, and the man in front of her might not belong to her.
"What are you looking at me doing? Don't seduce me with that look, or I won't be strong enough to go over and eat you up!" Chu Mohan closed the newspaper in his hand. The media was still positive about Hualong Company's big move this time.
According to the report, Chu Mohan was in a good mood.
"How many more days do we have to stay here?" Shao Yatong really didn't want to leave. She was afraid that this happiness would be too short-lived. She really felt very comfortable these days and forgot all her worries.
Chu Mohan saw Shao Yatong lying on the coffee table playing with pencils. There was a drawing she was revising in front of her. Chu Mohan was a little unhappy. "What? Have you stayed here enough? You are tired of facing me all day long."
Come on! I see you miss your lovers." Chu Mo said shabbily, got up and walked over to Shao Yatong and picked up the drawing in her hand.
Shao Yatong curled her lips and did not argue with him. There was no point in arguing. She just assumed that Chu Mohan was jealous.
Seeing Shao Yatong's drawings, Chu Mohan's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, and his mind was a little confused. He held the drawings and walked to the window while thinking about it. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He had indeed seen it.
At that time, he even praised this sketch without hesitation. This manuscript was
Qiao Sen's clothes looked more comfortable after being modified by Shao Yatong. Isn't this exactly the clothes Shao Yatong wore when he came back that day! In other words, the clothes he tore to pieces that day were designed by Shao Yatong himself, and
The check that he tore up can be explained easily. It was Liang Hui Clothing's payment for buying her designs.
Chu Mohan raised his eyes to see Shao Yatong biting a pencil and staring at the door in trance. He felt a little guilty for his excessive behavior that day. He could understand Shao Yatong's mood at that time. He once happily showed Shao Yatong his winning painting.
Dad looks at it, but his dad thinks he is a
The ineffective child was not as motivated as his elder brother, so he directly crushed his paintings and threw them into the trash can. He was extremely heartbroken at the time. His hard-earned achievements were not recognized but were treated as rubbish. Just like Shao Yatong that day, he was
What was destroyed was not just a piece of clothing, it was a dream!
"You really don't want to continue going to school?" Chu Mohan had already found out the real reason why Shao Yatong dropped out of school, but he also cared about the presence of Qiu Haoyu there, so he just followed the school's wishes.
"I want to go out to work...is that okay?" Shao Yatong really didn't want to stay at home. She would really go crazy if she continued like this.
Seeing the expectant look in her eyes, Chu Mohan just nodded slightly and asked: "Are you going to work for Liang Yichen?"
"No! I have to rely on myself." Yes, she has to rely on herself. One day she will leave Chu Mohan and leave here. At that time, the only one she can rely on is herself!
"Oh." Chu Mohan said nothing more, but he began to make plans in his mind. "We will go back to Green Cloud Villa in the afternoon."
Shao Yatong was a little disappointed when she heard that she was leaving. The Chu Mohan here was the one she wanted to get close to. She was a little afraid of contacting him in front of other people.
Sure enough, when I returned to Green Cloud Villa, I faced my first uninvited guest—Lu Manni.
Originally, Chu Mohan held Shao Yatong's hand and walked into the living room, but when they saw Lu Manni on the sofa, they both let go of their hands at the same time. Even though they let go, Lu Manni still saw clearly. She wanted to pretend not to notice.
She arrived, but didn't see the possibility? She knew that there seemed to be no hope for her to make a comeback at this time.
Lu Manni picked up her handbag without saying a word, and went straight to the door sadly. When she passed by Chu Mohan, Chu Mohan grabbed her wrist.
"Can you still leave me some self-respect?" Lu Manni didn't look back, she just said coldly. She knew what Chu Mohan cared about.
"Go upstairs, I want to talk to Manni alone." Chu Mohan did not let go of Lu Manni. He said this to Shao Yatong.
Shao Yatong went upstairs obediently. Something seemed wrong, but why couldn't she see what was wrong? Maybe she really didn't understand feelings! She wondered what Chu Mohan and Shao Yatong were going to talk about. In her
In my impression, all they can do is have sex! It’s just that Lu Manni’s behavior just now was too strange, and Shao Yatong couldn’t guess it.
"Do we have anything else to talk about? You've made it obvious enough that I'm not a fool!" Lu Manni still didn't look back at Chu Mohan.
"Mannie..."
"Do you know that I have been sitting here from morning to night every day for the past two days, but every day I am excited and disappointed? Today I finally waited for you to come back, but what was I waiting for? It was your happy appearance holding hands.
!You asked me to wait for you and you asked me to believe you. How can I trust you now? How else can I wait for you? What do you want to talk to me about?
Are you talking about breaking up? You want to break up with me, right? I have been waiting for you for so long. How many years have we been together? Chu Mohan, do you know clearly? How long has it been since you said you would marry me? You are considered by your family
Even if you are forced into marriage, I will not leave you and will still wait for you, but what am I waiting for? How are you going to talk to me now? You want me to just get out of you..."
"I'm sorry Manni!" Chu Mohan hugged the chattering Lu Manni into his arms. He had the idea of breaking up. He wanted to tell Lu Manni to find a good man and marry her. He didn't want to and couldn't delay her anymore.
, but how could he say it after she asked him such a question?
Lu Manni knew Chu Mohan too well, and she knew that he couldn't be cruel enough to show off with her like this. As long as she didn't have to deal with her, there was hope. She would find a way to make Chu Mohan hate that woman and let him leave that woman on his own initiative.
It's just new now. Just like before, Chu Mohan never lacked a woman by his side. She would always be by his side. This makes sense!
Lu Manni knows what Chu Mohan needs. She also knows when a man needs to be tight and when to loosen. Now she just needs to ensure that she is still the woman he recognizes. She will give him a chance to breathe at the right time. Chu Mohan
He wanted her to leave, but she didn't feel like he was dragging his feet, so she followed his wishes and left happily.
After sending Lu Manni away, Chu Mohan felt a little heavy. What happened to him? He used to be such a person with clear goals, but now? He originally wanted to torture Shao Yatong in every way, make her suffer, and let her leave voluntarily.
But plans often don't change as fast as they do. Now he suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with living a plain life like this.
It seems that he is slowly getting used to having her by his side. What about Lu Manni? He has always regarded her as the other half of his life, but now he suddenly wants to give up this idea, but he has delayed Lu Manni for so many years, what will happen to him if they break up?
How could he say it? Break up? He was shocked by this idea of his own. It seemed that he really thought so!
Suddenly receiving a call from home saying that Chu Yunhang fell ill, Chu Mohan quickly took Shao Yatong back.
How could Chu Yunhang not get sick when facing such great pressure from the company? He was heartbroken that the commercial building, one of the foundations of the Chu family, had changed hands like that! He was old and no longer had the courage to turn the tide, but these people
Children and grandchildren, who can he trust?
Chu Mohan knew the cause of his grandfather's illness, but the time was still not ripe and he couldn't tell him the truth. He loved his grandfather, but he was not the eldest grandson in his heart after all.
Shao Yatong saw that Chu Mohan was worried about Grandpa Chu's illness. She quietly took out a picture album she had hidden, which Grandpa Chu had given her for safekeeping at that time.
"I'll show you something. I think it's something you've never imagined!" Shao Yatong unfolded the album and placed it in front of Chu Mohan.
Chu Mohan was very shocked when he saw this picture album. It seemed like the first time he saw this thing, but it was so familiar. He couldn't remember clearly what happened at that time. After all, he was only three years old at that time. But
The content of this painting brought back too many memories for him. What moved him was not the painting itself, but the intention of the person who collected it.
"Where did you get this picture album?" Chu Mohan looked at the yellowish paper that was pressed so flat, wondering how it had been preserved for so many years.
"It's grandpa. Grandpa said this is your first painting and asked me to keep it for you. He also has photos of your first art exhibition there. Grandpa often takes them out to look at you. How much he loves you...
"
"He loves Chu Moyan!" Chu Mohan still didn't dare to accept it, so he closed the door and went out. He needed to calm down and rationalize his thoughts. What should he do next?
