Chapter 149 - Feeling reluctant to give up is the real break-up

Chapter 149: Chapter 149 Feeling reluctant to give up is the real break-up

I was not a person who liked to lie, because I really didn’t bother to weave more lies to keep covering up. Being exposed by Mo Fei in front of me made me angry.
Why the hell was I lying?! Was it because I like to?!
Complex and incomprehensible anger dominated my rationality. I pressed both hands on the table and leaned forward. In order to hide my nervousness and keep my voice from trembling, I tried my best to suppress my voice and asked in a deep voice, “I only said half of the truth, but Mo Fei, how honest are you? Yes, I lied to you, but what about you? I dare you to say that you never lied to me? !”
When Mo Fei heard this, the panic and timidity on her face were immediately replaced by great confidence, “I never lied to you!”
“The deception itself is a lie!” I had an inexplicable feeling, like a suppressed emotion erupted like magma, gushing out uncontrollably, “I’ve already said this when you used the questionnaire to test me last time. But did you listen to it? ! Why did you want to say those things to Liusu behind my back? Don’t you know about my relationship with Liusu? !”
“I…” Mo Fei was the girl who was favored by heaven, and even the chairman Mo Yizhi loved her very dearly. Apart from Wu Xueqing that despicable woman, I was probably the first guy who dared to yell at her, right? She had shame and timidity in her eyes, but she stubbornly made a strong statement: “Since I’m your friend, why can’t I talk to her? !”
“Friend? !” I have completely forgotten my manner, and laughed hysterically. I only felt that my eyes were hot. Glaring at Mo Fei, I couldn’t help but question like I was driven crazy: “Why do you always use the word friend as an excuse for everything? ! Don’t you know that your so-called friendship will not only be misunderstood by Liusu, but also be misunderstood by me? !”
Mo Fei was stunned when she heard from the words, and I was stunned too…
I said it, I finally said what was hidden in my heart, and I said it all.
A layer of blush gradually appeared on Mo Fei’s face. Maybe it was too shocking, she, who was articulate, even started to stutter, “Chu… Chu Nan, you…”
I also panicked, knowing what Mo Fei wanted to ask, cut her off completely subconsciously, “I like Liusu!”
My hands and feet suddenly became cold, and the tightened body became weak…
My heart suddenly became warm, my weakened body suddenly became unusually relaxed…
As if just now, I had just gotten some precious things…
But at that same moment, I felt that I had lost something important…
Yes, I finally made a thorough choice. While choosing Liusu, I cut off my last reluctant fantasy about Mo Fei…
Mo Fei’s expression was constantly changing on her pretty face, I couldn’t understand what she was thinking because my mind was in a mess.
“I’m sorry…” Mo Fei was not an ordinary woman after all. Her expression quickly went back to normal. She smiled at me apologetically and said: “I am so thoughtless. I’m sorry, Chu Nan, if necessary, I can explain to Liusu. Has, has she misunderstood it already?”
“No, she didn’t misunderstand…” The sudden change in the atmosphere made me feel a little at a loss, and my brain was in a muddle for a while, “Sorry, I was being rude…”
Mo Fei just shook her head and didn’t mention the matter again. She seemed to want to take a sip of tea when she picked up the cup, but when her lips just touched the rim of the cup, she put it down and asked me: “What is the progress of Heng Xiang’s investment?”
I couldn’t understand Mo Fei at all. In an instant, she shifted the topic back to work. Although awkward, this was also what I wanted, “The acceptance bill was already available last week. The bank said that today, or the latest tomorrow, it will be able to be discounted…”
“Mhm, I see,” Mo Fei nodded slightly, “Let’s wait for the notice. If there is no payment coming in the morning, accompany me… I will go to the bank in person in the afternoon. You can just keep eyes on Guo Xiang.”
This was probably why she wanted me to come to the office. Seeing that she was immersed in the file and looked through the document, and stopped speaking, I tentatively asked: “Then, Fei… cough, Ms. Mo, if there is nothing else, I will leave now.”
“Okay.” Mo Fei did not lift her head, pulled out a ballpoint pen from the pen holder, and wrote something on the document. She didn’t even notice that there was still a cap on the pen…
The atmosphere seemed normal, but it was like the tranquility before the storm. There seemed to be something dangerous in the heavy air. Of course, I knew where the danger was coming from, so I ran away in a hurry.
Before I walked to the door, Mo Fei suddenly stopped me, “Chu Nan!”
I held the doorknob, and didn’t dare to look back, “Is there anything else?” I was afraid to see Mo Fei’s expression at the moment.
“Liusu doesn’t want to be my assistant, you…” Mo Fei was hesitant for a while, and then changed her tone with a seemingly bitter chuckle, “No, it’s okay.”
My heart ached a little bit, but I was more relieved.
Mo Fei wanted to continue to persuade me to be her assistant, but she gave up again. I was ashamed. Being withdrawn and lonely, the way Mo Fei desired for friendship may be a bit extreme, but she really regarded me as a friend, but because of my fickle and indecisive mind, I hurt her unintentionally. I was really disqualified as a man. In the end, I smiled, and finally smiled honestly, “If something comes up, you can always tell me, because we are friends.”
Yes, I gave up the last glimpse of fantasy and said the word “friend”. There was no more self-deception, but a trace of sorrowful reluctance, but only this was the truest feeling.
At this moment, I really faced myself. In the hoarse voice trying to hide the choking, Mo Fei and I finally became real friends.
After a long time, I heard Mo Fei replied, “Mhm.” and then I opened the door and went out with a relaxed feeling as if I had been reborn.
. . .
Liusu was really able to hold back her curiosity, even until we went to the canteen to eat at noon, she still refused to talk to me.
Song Jia had asked for a half-day off today, so she still hasn’t come to the company, and I didn’t know where Brother Wei went. Liu Xinlei, who was dragged by Liusu, felt uncomfortable and always felt like the third wheel. When we got our food, the bratty girl deliberately sat on Liu Xinlei’s side, staying away from me like I was a bug. Finally, Liu Xinlei couldn’t stand it anymore.
After pouring a glass of orange juice for Liusu, Elder Sister Liu took the lead and said: “Liusu, did something happen to you two during the weekend? Didn’t you two go out to have fun?”
Liusu glared at me, but smiled and said, “No, we had a great time.”
Elder Sister Liu looked at me and asked Liusu with a smile: “But why do you look like you are having an argument?”
Liusu looked at me pretentiously, “Are we?”
Elder Sister Liu said strangely: “Are you not? Look at Chu Nan, he looks really upset, and he hasn’t been smiling for the whole morning. ”
“That’s jealousy,” Liusu intimately hugged Elder Sister Liu’s arm and sneered at me: “Someone saw me talking to Elder Sister Lei all the time and ignoring him all the time, so he is not happy, right? Come, Nannan, don’t be angry, try this dish…”
After that, the bratty girl held up a plate of fat meat, pressed the meat with chopsticks, and only poured the extremely greasy meat oil on my rice.
Seeing her act like this, I didn’t know whether I should get angry or laugh. ‘Is she a kid? Why is she having such childish behavior? What do you mean I am jealous? Obviously, it is you who is jealous!’
Elder Sister Liu hurriedly pulled Liusu to sit down and scolded: “Liusu, if you have something to complain, just say it. This is a bit too much. How can you let Chu Nan eat rice with oil?”
“It’s okay, Elder Sister Liu, you don’t know, I love to eat greasy things the most, hehe,” As a man, I have to pretend to be more magnanimous, I picked up the bowl and started to eat it while smiling at the Liusu: “But it’s indeed too much to say that I’m jealous. Liusu, Elder sister Liu is just like my real elder sister, how can I be jealous when you are just talking to elder sister Liu? Don’t try to sow discord between us, right, Elder sister Liu?”
Although I said that, I actually tried to hint to Liusu that what happened to Dongfang was her own misunderstanding, it was not true at all.
