Lu Wuchuan raised his eyes and looked at Duan Mo. He did not answer his question directly, but just uttered a single sound: "Say."
"Wuchuan, Yu Bai is back." The sound of the car door closing heavily, and then only Yan Linfei was left nagging on the phone, "I just heard about this, she arrived at home the night before yesterday.
Yesterday she went to see Qin Rui and agreed to meet some sisters to pick her up tonight. In the afternoon she called Qin Rui and told her that she was not in Pingcheng and we would meet again when she came back. I thought maybe she left so suddenly.
We are going to Liancheng."
"Maybe, she is in Liancheng." Lu Wuchuan pinched his eyebrows, "She found Momo today."
The phone suddenly went silent, and three seconds later came Yan Linfei's scream like a woodchuck: "Ah! She really went?!"
"Why did I lie to you?" Lu Wuchuan took a breath, "She asked Mo Mo to go out with me as my fiancée."
"Why is she like this!" Yan Linfei's tone was full of anxiety, "Have you explained it clearly to Xiao Mo?"
"not yet."
"What did you do? Why don't you explain?"
"How to explain?" Lu Wuchuan suddenly threw the question to him.
Yan Linfei spit out a national curse, and then immediately said: "I'm not scolding you, but this matter is too bloody, damn!" He couldn't help but swear again.
"I asked you how to explain it." Lu Wuchuan repeated the previous question, but his eyes were always fixed on Duan Mo on the sofa opposite.
The little girl held the cup and looked at him with interest in her eyes, as if she was watching an eight o'clock soap opera.
"To tell you the truth, how else can I explain it?" A slight snapping sound came out, and Yan Linfei must have lit a cigarette, "The engagement ceremony has not even been held, what kind of fiancée do you call her? Yu Bai is really overwhelmed by love.
I've lost my mind, and I still can't get out of it after so many years. How could a very smart person do such a stupid thing?"
After exhaling, he continued: "You really can still sit still when something like this happens. I can tell you, don't delay. The longer you delay, the harder it will be to explain. If it doesn't work, please contact Yubai and let me know.
She explained it to Xiao Mo herself in person."
"It's not necessary." Lu Wuchuan picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. You drive carefully."
After speaking, he cut off the call and threw the phone back on the coffee table.
Seeing an unknown smile on the lips of the little girl opposite him, he asked: "What are you laughing at?"
"Lin Fei is right, he is quite cruel." Duan Mo shrugged, "I just didn't expect that it would happen to me."
"Mo Mo, this is not what you think." Lu Wuchuan didn't think it was funny. He said, "Qiao Yubai's grandfather is a close friend of my father, and the two families are very close. The jokes between the two families when they were young...
...I have made it clear long ago that there is no possibility between us. Since I came to Liancheng, that is, when I went home during the Spring Festival, we have encountered each other once or twice. You also heard what Lin Fei said just now, we have not
We are engaged and have never been together. Do you understand?"
Duanmo nodded seriously: "Oh, I understand. Childhood sweethearts, it's good."
She emphasized the words "childhood sweetheart" with a hint of joking in her eyes.
"Whatever is good!" Lu Wuchuan stood up and sat next to her, "Mo Mo, there has never been anyone else but you."
Duanmo blinked a few times: "Why are you so loud? I'm not deaf."
"I'm just afraid that you will misunderstand." Lu Wuchuan softened his voice, "Mo Mo, you have to believe me."
"Have you met her before?" Duanmo turned to look at him and asked.
"No," Lu Wuchuan shook his head, "I won't see her alone."
Duanmo took a sip of water: "Then why didn't you come back with Brother Yan in the afternoon?"
"Call her uncle and ask him to get her away quickly."
When asked about his whereabouts, Lu Wuchuan was not annoyed, but felt a little relieved. The fact that he was asked about his whereabouts showed that things were not as bad as imagined.
He took the glass from her hand and drank the remaining half of the water in one go.
"You can't drink water by yourself. That's my cup." Duan Mo stared at him with her mouth bulging.
"I don't mind." Lu Wuchuan put the cup on the coffee table, turned around and approached, "Mo Mo, if anything happens in the future, you can tell me directly, whether you hit me or scold me, just don't ignore me."
Thanks to Lu Dongming and Jiang Muyang reporting the news today, otherwise he wouldn't know what happened.
Duanmo stretched out her finger and poked his chest: "I am treated as a mistress, what do you expect from me? One act, two troubles and three hang themselves?"
"It's my fault that you have been wronged." Lu Wuchuan grabbed the little hand and put it in his palm, "I would rather you do it with me than hold it in silently."
The little girl didn't act or make trouble, which only made him feel more distressed.
"I don't want to be the silly Baitian in a bloody drama, manipulating the heaven and the earth, and finally killing myself." Duanmo moved back slightly, met his eyes and said, "I'm with you.
It's not impulsive. If a random person comes to me and says something, I will believe it, and then there is no need for us to go on."
"Momo..."
"Listen to me."
Duanmo stepped back and said, "I trust you, but it does not mean unconditional trust. You and I are not on the same level. How big the gap is, how big the difficulty is. No matter how hard I try, it is impossible for me to succeed.
A day with you, not to mention that some things cannot be achieved by hard work. For example, family of origin, status. I can't give you any help, but I don't want you to be in trouble because of me."
She put her hand in front of Lu Wuchuan's lips and stopped him from speaking again: "What I want to tell you is that if...if one day you feel that I am a burden to you, don't force it, tell me and I will leave. But, I must
Don't lie to me."
Qiao Yubai was right about what she said. She was an orphan with no power and no background. She would not be able to help Lu Wuchuan in any way, and would even cause him trouble.
Although nowadays we are not as particular about being well-matched as in the past, if the gap between the two parties is too great, it will inevitably have an impact on their relationship.
"No, that day will never come. I have never regarded you as an accessory, so why should I be a burden?" Lu Wuchuan seemed to understand what she was thinking, and said with firm eyes, "Can two people be happy together?
It does not depend on similar backgrounds, but on the fit of the soul. At the end of the day, what I want is a relationship without any impurities, no interests, no purpose, just simple mutual liking and mutual appreciation."
These words were too innocent. If it were any other man, she would not believe it, but if it were Lu Wuchuan, she would believe it.
Duan Mo was not a hypocritical person. Now that the words had been spoken, he no longer struggled and patted Lu Wuchuan on the shoulder: "I want to eat grilled fish, will you go?"
