29 Let's Bring Forward Our Wedding

Chi Huan pursed her lips and looked into the man's eyes in the rearview mirror. "Aren't you going to tell me your conclusion?"

He said calmly, "Yang Hao left the ward and went to the underground parking lot… he did have a car parked there, so it couldn't be confirmed whether he heard about your whereabouts from Su Yabing, or as what Young Mister Mo said, he happened to meet the driver who was sent to pick you up."

Chi Huan lowered her eyes, and asked after a long while, "What do you think?"

The man twitched his thin lips, bringing out a slight arc. "I never believe in things that are too coincidental."

At night, the breeze kept blowing, and the dead leaves on the roadside flew up and then fell down.

Chi Huan sat in the car and looked at those leaves for a while, then said, "Let's go back."

When there was nothing special that happened, Mo Shiqian would not follow her upstairs.

Standing by the car, he was handsome and quiet. "Young Miss, if you have nothing else to do, I will go back first."

Chi Huan looked into his cold and deep eyes. "Mo Shiqian."

The man answered nothing, just looked at her, his eyes very deep and quiet.

"I thought he might have some pity for Su Yabing, she was his first love, he might have some unwillingness because they were forced to separate, but I also thought that he would not cross the line."

Her voice was quiet in the wind and sounded a little confused.

Mo Shiqian had seen her in many ways, but he rarely saw her confused because she always knew what she wanted.

"So, on what basis did you draw such a conclusion?"

Chi Huan glanced at him, then withdrew her gaze and turned to look away. The wind blew her long hair, and a few strands of hair fell on her fair face.

She looked down. "I'm going back to sleep."

Mo Shiqian narrowed his eyebrows without asking much further, just saying as usual, "Okay."

Chi Huan turned and walked towards the apartment building.

She walked very slowly, holding a small handbag in her hand, and her hair spread out loosely and fluttered in the wind.

Mo Shiqian stood on the spot, staring quietly at her back that was moving far away from him, and his thin lips curled into a curve that could barely be noticed.

She also had a world of thoughts that she didn't want others to know.

…

Chi Huan stayed at home for three consecutive days without going out.

She gave Mo Shiqian a few days off, did not go over to Mo Xigu, and did not even call him. Of course, Mo Xigu did not come to her either.

She wasn't actually a particularly quiet person, but during the past three days, she stayed at home and read books, and she even went through the film script in her emails briefly, that was sent from her agent.

When it was time to have food, she would order takeaways online. Then, when she was tired of takeaways, she simply called the Chi home and asked the cook to prepare food for her, and then the servant would deliver it to her. She lived quite leisurely and comfortablely like this.

Until the evening of the third day, when the doorbell rang, she thought it was the servant who brought the dinner and went to open the door without even putting down the book. "Why is it so early today, didn't I say to come at six o'clock…"

Her voice came to an abrupt halt and the person that stood in front of her wasn't the servant who delivered her food every day.

It was Mo Xigu.

Chi Huan's expression stiffened a little, and then she smiled again. "You didn't call me. You came to my house specifically, it seems that you've made your decision."

Mo Xigu looked into her eyes, and his voice was somewhat hoarse. "Won't you let me in?"

"Oh, yes."

As she said, she moved aside and let him in.

Mo Xigu lifted his feet and walked in. When he changed his shoes at the entrance, he naturally saw the pair of men's slippers.

Chi Huan had opened the shoe cabinet and took a new pair of slippers and handed it to him. "Wear these, they're new."

There was only one pair of indoor men's slippers on the shoe rack, and the other two pairs were women's slippers.

As he changed shoes, he asked in a flat tone, "Is this pair of slippers Mo Shiqian's?"

"Yup."

"He often comes in and out of your apartment?"

"Kind of."

Obviously the answer was as he expected. He could understand such things without even needing to think about them, but Mo Xigu still couldn't help asking. After he had changed his shoes and sat on the sofa, Chi Huan made tea and brought it over.

"You like to drink tea. This is the Dahongpao tea that I secretly took from my dad. It should be a first-class tea."

Mo Xigu glanced at her delicate and clean facial features. Probably because she was at home, she didn't wear any make-up, and her clean face looked like a pretty young girl's. Her long hair was tied up casually, exuding a casual beauty.

Her apartment was neat and tidy which was beyond his expectations. It was not the pink style he imagined, nor was it crowded with the clothes, garbage, and tableware that he imagined.

Chi Huan propped her head on her palm, looked at his eyes that were sizing her up, and she smiled. "My servant will come to clean my house everyday. I don't like staying in a messy place."

Mo Xigu's eyes then looked straight back at her. "Chi Huan."

Her lower body was wearing a thin cashmere skirt that was suitable for the autumn season, matched with a simple sweater on her upper body. She sat opposite him, giving off a lazy feeling of 'at home'.

His voice was a little more hoarse, but what he said was concise and clear. "Let's bring forward our wedding."

Chi Huan was stunned. "Bring forward? Why?"

The man looked into her eyes, and his deep and hoarse voice echoed with a bewitching illusion. "Don't you want to marry me?"

Chi Huan nodded slowly. "I do."

"Good, I'll tell them to prepare for the wedding."

"Why so quick?"

Mo Xigu stared at her again for a while, and said calmly, "Didn't you give me time to think about it? I've thought about it. I will marry you and we will travel to Europe after the wedding ceremony."

After a pause, he added, "We haven't had a good relationship with each other over the years, let's take this opportunity to cultivate our feelings."

She raised her eyebrows slightly. "What about Su Yabing?"

He lowered his eyes so that she could not see the expression in them, and his tone seemed very soft. "She will go back to the United States. I've asked someone to help her find a job there and contact the lawyer for her. For when she will have her divorce I will send a special lawyer to handle everything for her. "

Chi Huan smiled. "I thought… after knowing that she has kept her body like a pure jade for you for so many years, you will give up our engagement and choose to be with her again, although it sounds very difficult."

Mo Xigu looked at her, and there was a burst of a smile in his eyes, but it was a very cold smile. "Chi Huan, don't think too kindly of me."

Her eyes narrowed slightly, but she didn't speak, just tilted her head to look at him.

"Yabing is my first love and the only woman I have loved in my life."

His voice sounded very quiet, but as long as she listened to him carefully, she could tell that there was no true feeling in his voice. "But as you said, being with her again needs a great price to be paid, my mother will not allow it, the entire Mo family will not allow it, all circumstances and reality won't allow it. What's more, I'm no longer the innocent teenager who could give up all of my power and position for a woman."

"So you gave up on her?"

Mo Xigu looked at her and said with a slightly mocking tone, "Do you expect me to cancel our marriage contract because of her?"
