Mo Kuang nodded with understanding and said nothing, waiting for He Peixu to continue.
"Wanjing wants to see you." He Peixu said in a calm tone and looked at Mo Kuang.
With these five simple words, Mo Kuang's entire expression changed. Wan Jing, does she want to see him?
It took a long time for Mo Kuang to accept this fact. He looked at He Zikai and said, "How is she recently?"
Although his subordinates have been secretly inquiring about Wanjing's news, and he knows a general idea, but he still wants to know the details, and as He Peixu is the closest person to Wanjing, he believes his words very much.
"It's been getting better." He Peixu replied, not intending to explain too much. He was sure that Mo Kuang had always known about Wanjing.
"It's just that because of Rui Rui's incident, she has been unable to get out of that shadow." He Peixu's words were different from his previous tone, plain and tinged with sadness.
Mo Kuang heard He Peixu's emotions and didn't say anything immediately. He also felt sad in his heart.
After a long, long time, Mo Kuang slowly spoke, "I'm sorry that I didn't protect Ruirui and didn't help her at that time."
"Mo Kuang." He Peixu suddenly called Mo Kuang's name and said in a calm tone, "Don't feel sorry. You are not wrong. Wanjing did not blame you. If you are wrong, I should be the one who was wrong. I just cared about
I failed to protect my daughter and Wanjing in my career."
Mo Kuang didn't say anything, and looked away, lost in his own thoughts.
He Peixu felt that such a stuffy atmosphere between the two of them was not good, so he took a deep breath, changed the subject and said, "I will ask the butler to tell you the address of the restaurant. At seven o'clock in the evening, I will send Wanjing there so that you two can have dinner together.
."
Hearing this, Mo Kuang immediately came out of his thoughts, looked at He Peixu, and said, "The three of us can eat together."
He Peixu was very satisfied that he could make such an arrangement, and he was also very grateful to him. There was actually nothing wrong with the three of them eating together. His heart towards Wanjing had not changed, but his attitude towards the person in front of him had changed.
Because of Wanjing, he is not her love rival now, but... the friend she wants to maintain.
He Peixu shook his head, "No, I'll give you some space, two hours to eat, and I'll take her home at nine o'clock."
After finishing speaking, he paused and said with a hint of request, "If possible, I hope you can enlighten her. I hope she gets better and I hope she is happy."
I don't want the woman I love to live in that dark shadow all the time. It's too painful for her, and it's also very painful for me.
Because she is in pain, she is in pain too.
"Yes, I will." Mo Kuang blurted out almost without thinking.
I also hope that Wanjing will be happy. Compared with love, my love for Wanjing is no less than that of He Peixu. However, compared with my contribution, I do not pay as much as He Peixu. Now that most of my life has passed, I only hope that her beloved will be happy every day.
One day can lead to happiness.
"Thank you." He Peixu said.
Mo Kuang shook his head and said thank you.
…
At six o'clock in the afternoon, He Peixu helped Bai Wanjing walk downstairs. The housekeeper was already waiting at the stairs.
"Sir, madam." When the housekeeper saw the old man and his wife coming downstairs, he bowed respectfully and greeted them.
"Well, let's go." He Peixu said.
The housekeeper nodded and saw the old man supporting the old lady towards the door. He hurriedly walked forward to open the door.
The car left the He family's mansion and drove slowly towards the restaurant. In the car, He Peixu kept holding Bai Wanjing's hand and looked forward without speaking.
"Pei Xu..." Bai Wanjing suddenly turned her head and called out.
"Well, what's wrong?" He Peixu heard Bai Wanjing's voice and asked hurriedly, worried that she was not feeling well.
"Are you worried?" Bai Wanjing asked, looking into He Peixu's eyes, waiting for his answer.
He Peixu looked at the woman next to him and answered truthfully, "I'm not worried about you and Mo Kuang being alone, but I'm worried about your emotions."
I was worried that she would become emotional when chatting with Mo Kuang, and I was not sure whether Mo Kuang could take emergency measures to calm Wan Jing's emotions, so I was very worried.
Bai Wanjing smiled lightly, stretched out her other hand, as if coquettishly, touched He Peixu's nose with her index finger, and said, "I'm not going to be emotional. I'm relieved."
She spoke very slowly, and He Peixu heard it clearly. He looked at Bai Wanjing and nodded, "Well, at nine o'clock, I will take you home."
"Hmm..." Bai Wanjing flapped her eyes to show that she understood.
When we came to the restaurant, because the restaurant was private tonight, there were no waiters in the huge restaurant. There was only a man sitting at a table in the middle of the restaurant.
He Peixu supported Bai Wanjing and walked towards Mo Kuang step by step, his steps were very slow.
As for Mo Kuang, when he saw the two people walking over, especially Bai Wanjing, his heart palpitated violently. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he got up, walked over, and had close contact. Bai Wanjing stopped and looked at Mo Kuang in front of her.
, the eye sockets turned red little by little.
After not seeing him for many years, he has changed, really changed.
The way Mo Kuang looked at Bai Wanjing was a little different from what he had seen from a distance at the previous banquet. At this moment, when he looked at her clearly, the love in his heart was stronger than at any time in these years.
The two looked at each other for a long time. Bai Wanjing looked away first, and then Mo Kuang looked away and looked at He Peixu.
"I'll leave her to you for now. I'll pick her up at nine o'clock." He Peixu said to Mo Kuang.
"Well..." Mo Kuang responded, reaching out his hand to hold Bai Wanjing's arm.
At the right time, He Peixu let go, and before leaving, he said to Bai Wanjing, "The food tastes the same as at home, eat more."
"Yes." Bai Wanjing looked at He Peixu and nodded, telling him with her eyes not to worry, nothing would happen to her.
He Peixu saw the meaning in her eyes, nodded, and then left.
After He Peixu left, Mo Kuang helped Bai Wanjing and sat down at the dining table, where they sat face to face.
"What, when, did you come back?" Bai Wanjing asked first.
Listening to Bai Wanjing's voice, Mo Kuang was always excited, but on the surface he suppressed his emotions and answered Bai Wanjing, "I've been back for a while."
"Well." Bai Wanjing continued to ask, "Then, do you want to come back and leave?"
Mo Kuang didn't plan to tell Bai Wanjing that the reason for coming back this time was that Zuo Yu was also back. He quickly organized the words in his mind and said, "Well, I came back this time to do some things. After finishing them, I left."
Bai Wanjing nodded and said nothing.
The atmosphere between the two suddenly fell into embarrassment. In fact, they both had a lot to say, but because they hadn't seen each other for many years and had too many concerns about each other, they wanted to say something but were not sure whether it was appropriate to say it.
Contradictory, do you want to say it?
"Let's eat first. Your husband only gives us two hours to eat." Mo Kuang said easily, with a smile on his face and a humorous tone to lighten the atmosphere. (To be continued)
