Chapter 315 It's My Regret to Fail to Keep You Here

He was still standing by the side of the road until Xia Yu called him back for dinner. No one knew what he was thinking about. Shen Mo ate a lot of dinner as he did at noon.

Although Xia Yu admitted that the food which she cooked was delicious, she was really surprised at the way he ate as he was Shen Mo. After dinner, Shen Mo didn't rush to do the dishes like he did at noon. Instead, he returned to the bedroom after eating.

But after Xia Yu cleared everything up, he came out again.

Xia Yu knew that he was going to talk to her, so she prepared a cup of Biluochun for him. It was healthy to drink green tea in the evening.

"Thank you." Shen Mo took the tea and put it down after taking a sip. Then, he said with a smile, "Although you are a good cook, the craft of making tea is just so-so."

"I don't think it's worse than others." Xia Yu tasted it and found that it was really the taste of Biluochun.

"It seems that you have to study the tea culture well. When you reach a certain level, you will know what the difference is between you and others." He smiled and didn't continue the topic. He didn't aim to talk about the tea culture with Xia Yu. "You are really so smart because you can know that Jiangjiang may not be the son of Shen Yan with a cup of coffee."

Here came the main topic. He really had a short temper, and they all didn't want to waste time. Xia Yu smiled and said, "It is not just because of a cup of coffee. There are so many factors, such as the attitude of Jiang Yayan, the appearance of Jiangjiang and so on."

Jiang Yayan's attitude had always been like that, and Jiangjiang had been exposed to the public for so many years. How couldn't Shen Yan's former secretary find out these?

Even Shen Mo himself didn't realize this, not to mention them. Shen Mo looked at Xia Yu with a smile, instead of saying something. Then, he continued to taste the tea and stared at the teacup.

This tea set was bought by him in Nihon many years ago, and he never used it. He didn't bring it here until he bought this farm.

Many people thought that Nihonese people were very particular about drinking tea, and the utensils were also very delicate. But Shen Mo didn't agree. He still felt that his country was far better than Nihon in terms of the utensils, the quality of tea and the technology of making tea.

"Why didn't you say it when you found it?" If you said it, Zhang Hanyu would avoid being put into prison." Shen Mo looked up at Xia Yu and said. "He really admires you and even likes you very much."

Of course, Xia Yu knew this point. Zhang Hanyu was not only a teacher but also a friend of Xia Yu. She felt so sorry for him since the matter came to such a situation. "I didn't say it at that time because I thought it was only Jiang Yayan's personal behavior which could be dealt with simply. Especially she was an orphan woman with a child. If she met with mishaps, who could take care of her child? So, I hoped she could make up with Shen Yan."

However, later Xia Yu discovered that things were far more complicated than she had imagined. Possibly, Xia Yu would feel guilty about exposing the evidence to the public. Just as Shen Mo said, Zhang Hanyu was so nice to her.

"You should sympathize with a person who threatened Shen Yan and convinced him to look after the son of his enemy. How did you do that?" Shen Mo sighed. Zhang Hanyu wouldn't have suffered if he had known it earlier that Jiangjiang was not the son of Shen Yan or if Xia Yu had not been so soft-hearted.

Shen Mo was really annoyed to lose Zhang Hanyu, an important helper of him. He even wanted Xia Yu to pay the price. But Zhang Hanyu did his best to protect her and broke up with Shen Mo in discord for her first time.

Anyway, Shen Mo couldn't refuse his request because it was Zhang Hanyu who took the risk to help him.

"The child was innocent, and I didn't persuade him actually. Then, he forgave Jiangjiang naturally." In fact, Xia Yu wanted to say that she was very worried at first that Shen Yan would put Jiangjiang in danger. And she even reminded Jiangjiang to keep away from Shen Yan.

But some things were just so incredible like that. Two opposite people could get along well with each other. Just like the present, nobody would think that they could talk about it in this way of drinking a cup of tea.

"I can only say that he has changed a lot since you got together." Shen Mo had watched Shen Yan grow up from childhood, and he understood Shen Yan well as he knew himself. He knew that there was no word called "forgiveness" in Shen Yan's dictionary.

If there had been it, he wouldn't have treated Zeng Mina like that.

Had he changed? Xia Yu didn't know what he used to be, and it was difficult for her to answer. Instead, she only smiled at Shen Mo.

"I heard that when you were kidnapped by Li Tianci, you also went to the manor of Ningjing, right?" When mentioning the two words of Ningjing, a slide of pain passed through his face and disappeared quickly.

However, the subtle expression was still caught by Xia Yu. It seemed that Shen Yan was right. Not only Zhou Yan and Shen Mo but also Shen Yan and her father felt painful about the death of Ningjing.

"Yes. I didn't know where it was at the beginning. Not until I went to find Shen Yan at that night did I know that it was the former residence of Ningjing. After Shen Yan told me about that, I finally knew your relationship." Xia Yu didn't want to conceal anything. Besides, there was nothing for her to conceal.

Shen Mo nodded and said, "It seems that he still doubts me because he goes there often until now."

"No, he doesn't doubt you." Xia Yu knew that what Shen Mo referred to was the cause of Ningjing's death. "He told me personally that the murderer couldn't be you."

"Did he say that?" Shen Mo was very surprised.

"Yes." Xia Yu looked at Shen Mo's eyes clearly.

"If I tell you that I knew later that Li Tianci had kidnapped you, do you believe it?" Shen Mo stopped for a while and asked. He didn't continue this topic of Ningjing because the person was already dead. And it just added sorrow to people who were living.

Xia Yu said, "Shen Yan and I have doubted you before. But after I come here today, I feel that it has nothing to do with you."

Shen Mo would rather buy another farm to commemorate Ningjing than go to the place where she used to live again. How could it be possible for him to kidnap her to that place?

"Thank you very much for trusting me." Shen Mo looked at Xia Yu affectionately. "You are a special girl. It's my regret to fail to keep you here."

"Don't flatter me, Young Master Mo. Actually, I don't like the war between you and Shen Yan. It is real."

"I can see that. But the positions of us are different, so this war can't be avoided. At first, I hoped that you could support me, or at least be neutral. But now it seems to be impossible." Shen Mo smiled. Then he made a circle on the teacup. "I used to look down on women, but now you have changed my mind."

"Xia Yu, girls in your family are very unique, including Shiyu. Although she is not as capable as you, she is very independent. When I was with her, she never asked me for any gift. Even if I took the initiative to buy her something sometimes, she would definitely return a present. The house was bought by me, but she paid for it absolutely." Shen Mo transferred the topic to Wu Shiyu. He couldn't figure out how he felt about her.

Once he thought that even if he got engaged to Zeng Mina, Wu Shiyu wouldn't leave him. Until he saw Li Yan stood next to Wu Shiyu, he was still surprised whether Wu Shiyu deliberately forced him to compromise in that way.

If Xia Yu had not expressed her idea directly in the face of Old Madame that she wouldn't intervene in the relationship of others when they were in love, he couldn't have realized that Wu Shiyu really got together with Li Yan.

He was not a big-hearted man as Shen Yan because he had so many burdens. Thus, he could do nothing, but to give it up.

"My cousin only hopes to live a common life." Xia Yu also regretted for them when they mentioned Wu Shiyu. To be honest, Xia Yu had never seen that her cousin was so serious about a relationship. But they were doomed to separate due to their fate.

Later, Shen Mo didn't talk anymore and didn't show any tendency to sleep. They were just sitting together.

The next morning, they left the farm. When they left, Xia Yu took away the puppy with her. The puppy was so well-behaved, staying in a box obediently.

After getting to the urban area, Xia Yu got off the car and parted ways with Shen Mo. Until Xia Yu went into the pet shop and looked back, his car still did not leave, and even she could feel his eyes still looking at her.

"Welcome."

The voice of the clerk was heard in her ear, and Xia Yu looked away to give the puppy in the box to the waiter with a smile. "Help it take a bath. Then get rid of the bugs and vaccinate for it."

"Okay, madam. What's the name of this puppy?" The clerk touched the head of the puppy and asked.

"It has no name yet." She just brought it back and had no time to think about it.

Half an hour later, Xia Yu came out of the pet shop and took a taxi directly to the hotel.

When Aunt Ma saw the puppy, she was stunned for a while at first and then showed a surprised look. She said when reaching out to touch it. "Miss Xia, do you also like dogs? I also fed a dog when I was in the countryside. After coming to the city, I saw a lot of people have dogs, and I couldn't help thinking of my own puppy."

"Animals are of human nature sometimes." Seeing that Aunt Ma liked it very much, Xia Yu was also relieved. "This is a stray dog that I have taken in. I'm still worried that everyone will dislike it after I bring it back."

"No! No! No! Miss Xia, you can give me the dog to feed after you go to work. I'm very experienced in feeding dogs." Aunt Ma said with a smile.

"Then thank you, Aunt Ma." Xia Yu said with a smile and touched the head of the puppy again. "This is Aunt Ma. Be obedient to her later, OK?" Come and say hello to Aunt Ma."

The puppy seemed to understand the human language and really barked twice toward Aunt Ma.

Both of them laughed after hearing that.

"What makes you so happy?" They didn't see Shen Yan and Liu Sijie come in when Xia Yu and Aunt Ma were teasing the dog.

After asking, they found that there was a dog in the house. Liu Sijie was so calm, but the face of Shen Yan suddenly changed when seeing the puppy. "Why did you take a dog back?"

"It's from Young Master Mo's farm. It is a poor dog because there is usually no one here to feed it. Aunt Ma has promised to look after it. So, please let it stay here." Xia Yu thought of what Shen Mo said, and she was really afraid that he would send the puppy away when seeing the expression of Shen Yan. She could not help hiding the puppy behind her back.

Aunt Ma also begged to say aside. "Young Master Yan, I will feed it. I can guarantee that it won't mess things up at home. And I can make a doghouse outside for it." Aunt Ma also stood on Xia Yu's side and said something for her.

Shen Yan said nothing and went directly to his bedroom.

Xia Yu thought that he got angry, and quickly followed him. "Shen Yan, since Aunt Ma said that she would feed it, please let it stay here. How about this? I can post a message on the Internet. Maybe there is a dog-loving person who can adopt it. OK?"

Shen Yan reached out his hand and pulled Xia Yu to his side. "When you brought it back, my brother must have told you that I hated dogs. You should repay for me since I will make such a big sacrifice." Saying that, he moved his face close to Xia Yu.

His intention was obvious that he was asking a kiss from her. Xia Yu had to give him a half-hearted kiss on his face because she needed his help and didn't want to offend him.

Shen Yan's eyes were so bright. He reached out to put his arms around her waist and bowed down to kiss her on her lips. "Besides, you have to spend a day hanging out with me." He said insatiably.

"No. It's not Sunday, so don't you have to work?" Xia Yu found that he was a little childish. She just brought a dog back to keep. And he should make so many demands.

Shen Yan said immediately, "Yesterday was not Sunday, either. And you still went out with my brother for a whole day, didn't you?"
