Chapter 55 - In a dilemma

Chapter 55 In a dilemma

Gu Yan was exhausted by the trifles today.
“Well. I will settle them down after I come back tomorrow.” Manla walked out of the bathroom with a phone between her neck and head, trying to dry her hair. She dealt with that skillfully.
“I’m really fine. You don’t need to stay with me. Look, I have troubled you so much.” Gu Yan looked at her and said softly.
Manla knew that Gu Yan was terrible. She saw her best friend’s experience today, and was really worried about her stay in this studio alone.
“Come on, you don’t need to be stubborn in front of me.” Manla sat beside her, shrugged and looked at her with an unconcerned expression.
“By the way, how about you and Wen Yunfeng? Why did he know that thing? Was it only between you and Mo Yichen?” Manla asked with her brows frowned.
After all, it got involved in the reputation of the Mo Group. No one dared to publicize it.
Thought of this, Gu Yan closed her eyes helplessly, “I am curious about Mo Yichen’s response if he knows it. I am afraid…”
The phone rang suddenly.
Gu Yan took her mobile phone and found that it was the man she mentioned just now. “God! Has he known it?”
She swallowed and hesitated to answer the phone.
“Hello?” She asked cautiously.
“Hey. What’s going on? Has Wen Yunfeng stopped disturbing you?” Hearing her voice, Mo Yichen’s heart was inexplicably calm.
“Ah?” Gu Yan was stunned for a moment by such a straightforward question.
“How did he know that Wen Yunfeng came to see me today? Does he condemn me after the surrogacy is made public?”
Thinking of this, Gu Yan quickly explained, “That…I didn’t tell anybody the surrogacy, and I don’t know how he knew it.”
“I did it!” Mo Yichen interrupted her.
The magnetic voice seemed the gentle breeze at night, which soothed Gu Yan’s uneasiness, and caused some emotional fluctuations then.
“Didn’t we promise to keep secret about it? What I’m worried is that Wen Yunfeng will do something bad to your company…”
In short, after the secret was made public, Mo Yichen was the biggest victim. How did he think about that? For her…?
“Do you care about me?” Gu Yan’s voice was low. But he still heard it, and could feel her anxiety.
“…”
The other side of the line was suddenly in a silence. Gu Yan didn’t know what to say. Actually, it was a good thing. Why did Gu Yan really worry about him subconsciously?
“Thank you, but I think I’ve got it.” Gu Yan looked at Manla with a reassuring expression. Then she walked to the French windows, looking at the night scene outside calmly.
“It is a good thing to some extent. I knew someone clearly. Thanks to my experience before. But I don’t regret it.” Gu Yan said softly.
They both looked at the same sky, and each other’s slight breath could be heard at the two sides of the line. The atmosphere gradually became ambiguous.
“That’s good. I will visit you tomorrow.”
“Ah? Why?”
Her subconscious refusal made Mo Yichen feel a little uncomfortable. It seemed that his trick was discovered.
“That’s because I have something to say with you. See you tomorrow.” He quickly hung up the phone.
Mo Yichen didn’t know why he was very flustered, which was totally opposite to him as usual…
“Hey, what’s up? I have been watching you for a while. Your expression is a little unnatural. Tell me who it is.” Manla immediately teased Gu Yan when she saw Gu Yan’s relaxation after the call.
“Nothing. Go to bed early and work energetically tomorrow. Thank you for accompanying me for such a long time.” Gu Yan said while pushing Manla out.
The topic ended with nothing definite. Lying on her bed, Gu Yan watched the ceiling without drowsiness.
His voice of “see you tomorrow” was always on her mind. Out of her expectation, she was a little eager to see him.
In the next morning, Manla hurriedly picked up her things and left early.
Gu Yan felt warm when she saw Manla was in a haste. She saw Manla driving away and then was ready to go back.
At this time, a car trumpet sounded clearly.
Turning around, she saw the one who called her last night.
The car stopped in front of her. The man untied the seat belt, got off and closed the door. Then he walked up to her.
“So early!” It was a long time since they met last time and Gu Yan didn’t know what to say.
“Yeah.” Mo Yichen walked to the other side of the car, took out the things that Wu Gang prepared yesterday and gave them to her.
“What are they?” The small exquisite jewelry box and the appetizing black forest cake made her a little confused. “Will he make a confession?” She thought.
“Didn’t you make a deal with Qi Fei? The gifts are for you to celebrate your big deal. Do not have any psychological burden.” Mo Yichen looked away, handed the things to her and went into the studio.
“A nice decoration. It is your style. If you have time, do the same to my office. I’ll pay you twice.”
Mo Yichen said earnestly when he looked at the furnishing and decoration of the studio.
Gu Yan followed him and hesitated, “He helped me a lot this time, and I have no reason to refuse him”. Then she said,
“Okay.”
Mo Yichen was stunned slightly after he heard her immediate reply.
“How about working in my company?”
“…”
“Well, I will come here frequently, in case that Wen Yunfeng disturbs you again.”
Gu Yan said few words before Mo Yichen arranged all well.
“You don’t have to do that. I can manage it in my studio.” Gu Yan repeatedly waved her hands to refuse.
“Well, visit my company first!” Mo Yichen seemed not to hear what she said.
“Hmmm…” Gu Yan thought about how to refuse him.
“But I have to visit my grandma, and there is too much work in my studio. So, I can’t work for you.” Gu Yan started to pack things.
Winking at her young assistant, she ran away at once.
“I have to leave now. Treat President Mo well, Xiao Wang.” Gu Yan said to her assistant.
Under the gaze of Mo Yichen, Gu Yan left the studio with great pressure.
After running a while, Gu Yan stopped to take a deep breath.
