“Congratulations.”

“Wish you joy, Lao Da. Congratulations,”

“Lao Da, why don’t you and Shuya-jie notify us about it ah?”

“Lao Da, when is the dinner treat?”

“That’s right. Give us a formal introduction ah.”

Mo Yu was so dumbfounded by this series of congratulations early in the morning, “Congratulations for what? If you don’t have anything to do, don’t fool around. Go back to work.”

“Lao Da, why are you pretending to be shy? We have seen it all. You went back to your neighborhood together with Shuya-jie and now in the morning you came together to the company.”

“Yeah, you both are living together and still hiding it from us.”

Mo Yu was helpless, “You misunderstood. Shuya and I live in the same neighborhood. Is there anything strange about us coming to work together? ”

“Oho, so now it’s ‘Shuya’? You have been that close?”

…Forget it, Mo Yu didn’t bother to explain. Anyway, he couldn’t explain it clearly.

Yang Zijian was also entered Mo-shi recently. He also happened to be in the same team as Mo Yu. At this moment, he whispered to Mo Yu, “You really have nothing to do with that Miao-zuchang? The two of us are close. Don’t hide it from me. Spill the beans.”

Mo Yu rolled his eyes, “Work hard. Keep out all those wild thoughts from your brain.”

Yang Zijian expressed, “I think Miao-zuchang is pretty good. She is beautiful and capable. What’s more, she can work hard with you. She is a hundred times better than Ye Wei.”

Mo Yu’s smile faded. Yang Zijian patted him on the shoulder, “I’m only speaking the truth. Don’t think about Ye Wei anymore. Cherish the people in front of you.”

Yang Zijian hopped back to his desk. Not long after, Zhao Hong leaned over to him, “What did you say to Mo Yu?” ”

Yang Zijian turned a blind eye to her, “Don’t think that I don’t know that you are Ye Wei’s spy. You tell Ye Wei. Without her, Mo Yu will be better than before! Many people love him. He won’t care about her any longer!”

He was on Mo Yu’s side. Originally, he liked Ye Wei. She was beautiful and lovely. It’s alright for her to be arrogant. After all, who didn’t have their own temper?

Though, when he heard Ye Wei abandoned Ye Wei to hug a golden thigh, he became sick of her. So what if she was beautiful? It didn’t change the fact that she was a vile person who was greedy for glory and wealth. He disdained a person like her.

Zhao Hong explained, “Nonsense. Ye Wei and I may be roommates, but we don’t have a very good relationship. She is a person who has her eyes above the top[1]. Where would she put me in her eyes? We slept in the same room for four years, but the words we exchanged could be counted with hands. I also feel Mo Yu-huichang[2] is wronged by Ye Wei! Ye Wei has gone too far! She is simply not a human being!”

Yang Zijian glanced at Zhao Hong, who was swearing, “Okay, I believe you. Barely.”

Zhao Hong smiled and inquired curiously, “Is Mo Yu really with Miao-zuchang?”

“Just about.”

Just about. Then, it would only take some time before they really got together?

On the other side, Mo Yu, who was looking for Miao Shuya to discuss their project plan, met the old man sweeping the floor in the corridor once again.

He had a good fate with this old janitor. He had met him a few times. Sometimes when he encountered difficulties at work, he would sit alone in the stairwell. That’s when he met him.

Despite the other party being a janitor, he was very wise. Most likely, he had experienced a lot of things so he had many different perspectives on problems. Every time he talked to him, he would give him inspiration.

Therefore, Mo Yu liked this uncle very much. He was quite upset when he hadn’t seen him in the past few days.

“I haven’t seen you in recent days. Are you not in charge of our area anymore? ”

“Something happened at home recently, so I didn’t come to the company.”

The truth was, he went abroad and only came back today.

“What’s wrong? Is there anything I can help with?”

With that said, Mo Yu drew out his business card and handed it to him, “If you need any help, you can call me at the above number. ”

The old man accepted the business card. His expression turned kinder when he looked at Mo Yu. He smiled, “Thank you. We are strangers, yet you are willing to help me. Are you not afraid that I am a liar?”

Mo Yu smiled back, “We are not strangers. You have helped me several times. We are friends.”

The old man appeared to be hesitant and startled, “Friends?”

“Yes, we are friends. Isn’t it normal for friends to help each other?”

“You don’t even know who I am but you accepted me as a friend?”

“The hero does not ask of one’s origin. We became friends. There is no need for so many questions. I think we get along very well. Is there anything wrong with us being friends?”

Mo Shizong smiled happily. He saw the shadow of Mo Yu’s mother on his face. 

His mother taught him well. His mother was a happy, honest, cheerful, and kind person. That’s why he fell in love with her. Regrettably, he failed her in the end.

He was too ashamed to face them.

“Well, you go and continue your work. If I need help, I’ll ask you for help.”

He carefully put the business card in his pocket.

Mo Yu nodded, ”Alright, I’ll take my leave. Remember to call me if there is something I can help with.”

Mo Shizong waved his hand and watched Mo Yu disappear from his sight before leaving.

He returned to his office and asked the Secretary, “I heard that Mo Yu broke up with his girlfriend? ”

The Secretary replied, “Yes, Mo Yu-shaoye‘s ex-girlfriend’s name is Ye Wei. It was unknown how she got to know Mo-zong, but she has now broken up with Mo Yu-shaoye and currently lives in Mo-zong’s house. I also heard she said some bad things to Mo Yu-shaoye which made him sad.”

“Mo Yuan and Ye Wei? Why didn’t I know Mo Yuan liked Ye Wei’s type of woman? He didn’t know that woman was Mo Yu’s girlfriend?”

“I don’t think he knows. Even if he does, Mo-zong doesn’t know that Mo Yu-shaoye is your son…”

Mo Shizong arched his eyebrow. The Secretary was aware that he had said the wrong thing and closed his mouth wisely.

That night, the house of Mo-jia was brightly lit.

Mo Shizong sat on the main seat and ate his dinner slowly. His expression was dignified and his temperament was cold. He was very different from the old man who was so kind in front of Mo Yu. Just like two different people.

“How’s the company recently?”

Mo Yuan sat on the other side and said, “Hasn’t Father been to the company?”

“I went to take a look and left. ”

Mo Shizong wiped his mouth with a napkin  “I heard you brought a woman home?”

Mo Yuan eventually glanced at Mo Shizong, “Yes. So Father has also heard about it.”

Mo Shizong, “Mn. That kind of woman, sent her away as soon as possible. ”

“No.”

“What did you say? Are you going to disobey me?”

“Ye Wei suits my taste very much. I like her. I am not going to send her away.”

“Mo Yuan!”

Mo Shizong’s eyes sharpened, “I’m not discussing this matter with you. That kind of woman is not allowed to enter Mo-jia.”

“I have finished eating. I’ll go back first.”

Mo Yu put down his bowls and chopsticks. Regardless of Mo Shizong’s anger, he got up on his crutches and limped out of the Mo-jia house step by step.

Mo Shizong was furious. He slammed his chopsticks down, “You ungrateful son, stop right there!”

Mo Yuan halted his step. “Father still has something else to say?”

Mo Shizong informed, “I have selected candidates for your marriage partner. You should first look at the photos and choose one that you are satisfied with, and then prepare to get married. This is also what your mother wants,”

Mo Yuan curled his lips up, “Thank you for putting me in your mind. I thought Father wouldn’t care about me. As for my mother, you have only seen her several times a year. Even in her last moment, you weren’t there. You are so powerful that you know what my mother wanted?”

“Do you have to talk to me like that?”

“I’m used to it. I can’t change it.”

“You…”

“I’m tired. I’ll go back first.”

Mo Shizong watched Mo Yuan leave without looking back. His complexion was livid and he snorted heavily.

With Mo Yuan’s temperament, if he knew that Mo Yu was his son, he would target Mo Yu everywhere. And he, Mo Shizong, could not protect Mo Yu all the time.

Hence, before Mo Yu had the ability to stand on his own, he couldn’t recognize him as his son.

Mo Shizong planned to let Mo Yu gain a foothold in the company first, and then recognize him when he had his own person and could protect himself.

Ye Wei was enjoying the breeze in the backyard. She was lying on the recliner. The kitchen brought her the newly made mango pudding and served fruits on a plate. The breeze was blowing. It was very pleasant. 

The dog was originally digging the soil on the other side, but it was attracted by the fragrance of her desserts. It squatted beside her, panting. 

It was ready to be fed by the human in front of it. 

Based on its past experience, as long as it walked over and sat, all of the food would be its. If it didn’t eat the food offered by those humans, they would coax it and beg it to eat.

Ye Wei was different. She didn’t even spare a glance at it. She grabbed a small silver fork and poked at her food. The fragrant and sweet strawberries were wiped out in one bite. Most of the food was eaten by her. When it saw the food was about to be eaten up, it became anxious and barked. The not-so-smart dog finally remembered the human in front of it was here to compete with it for favor!

Ye Wei merrily ate her strawberries. They were all the fruits of her hard labor. She cherished them very much. She wouldn’t share them with other “people” at all.

“Woof!”

Crunch.

“Woof, woof!”

Crunch. Crunch.

“Woof, woof, woof!”

Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.

It didn’t cry out anymore. It spun away from Ye Wei and lay down on the ground. Its dog eyes watering, aggrieved.

This was definitely the most ruthless and unfeeling human being it has ever seen.

The Butler, ……   

He strangely thought, this person and dog are perfectly harmonious?

Mo Yuan came back quietly, not even the Butler noticed him.

At this moment, he was standing in the shadow, overlooking Ye Wei lying leisurely on the recliner.

The Butler saw Mo Yuan had come back and wanted to step forward. Mo Yuan waved him away, ‘You all go out.”

The Butler stepped back. Before leaving, he glimpsed pityingly at the ignorant Ye Wei. 

Ye Wei wouldn’t know Mo Yuan had come back if not for the dog. The dog sniffed and jumped cheerfully before rushing towards Mo Yuan. It whined at him as if it was complaining. 

Mo Yuan was the only person who could make the dog so enthusiastic. Ye Wei quickly sat up and peeked at her back. Indeed, it was Mo Yuan.

The man in black stood in the dim light, his pale and handsome face was fuzzy under the cover of the night. His slender shadow was drawn long by the light. He didn’t appear to be gloomy and cold like in the past. On the contrary, he appeared to be peaceful. Too peaceful.

“Mo-xiansheng.”

Ye Wei ran to Mo Yuan with a smile and habitually latched on his arm. “Let’s enjoy the breeze. Come and sit down. The strawberries are so sweet. I’ll get some for you to taste.”

Mo Yuan captured Ye Wei who wanted to leave and spoke faintly, “No need. Sit with me for a while. ”

“Mn, mn!”

Sure enough, after Mo Yuan came, the only place she could sit was on the ground. She leaned her head on Mo Yuan’s leg. On the other leg was the dog. A pair of dog eyes stared at her. It didn’t like this human who was competing for favor with it. Especially because its master’s hand was stroking her head instead. It barked a few times and arched its head to its master’s hand. begging to be petted. 

Mo Yuan smiled and patted it, “Be good. Go and play by yourself. Don’t make trouble.”

The dog became even more competitive, lying on the man’s lap and glaring at Ye Wei with wide dog eyes.

Ye Wei, ……   

She was not sure, but why did she get the feeling that this dog was drawing lines at her?

She really deserved her title as the vicious Supporting Female Lead, look, even dogs hate her! 

She touched the dog’s head with satisfaction. Not bad, not bad. Smart dog. It was able to tell good from the bad.

The dog barked at her and avoided her touch. Ye Wei giggled happily. The dog felt that this human was very odd. When it avoided other human’s touch, those humans would be very sad and disappointed

Mo Yuan quietly observed Ye Wei who was laughing at the dog. He rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming, “Alright. Stop making trouble.”

Ye Wei blinked and obediently shut her mouth, “Mn.”

Then she leaned against his leg again, extremely compliant.

The dog was also very obedient. It was lying down next to him, motionless.

Mo Yuan had a moment of doubt in his heart. He just discovered that in front of him, Ye Wei would be sad, happy, and lost, but never afraid. No matter how angry he was. 

She learned from others and did not look at him when he was angry. And when she looked at him, her eyes were clean and bright, without a trace of timidity or fear. 

The people around him, there was none that was not afraid of him. They were afraid of his anger, afraid of angering him, and afraid to even speak one word to him. They were all quivering by his side, eager to stay away from him because they didn’t know when they would provoke his anger. 

Even so, she wasn’t afraid of him nor was she afraid of angering him. 

Just like now. She leaned her head on his leg and could leisurely play with the grass on the ground. 

Obviously, when he came back, everyone who saw him was shaken. There was apparent panic and fear in their eyes. They shrank aside, wishing he had never appeared.

Why was Ye Wei not like that?

Ye Wei only felt that Mo Yuan’s eyes were getting stranger the more he looked at her. Those gloomy eyes, she could not see the ups and downs in his heart from it. She was wondering about it when the man pinched her chin. He brought his face near hers. His handsome face was right in front of her eyes. She could closely see the gloom in his eyes.

“Mo-xiansheng?” She blinked.

“Are you not afraid of me?”

“?”

My Lord!

The legendary line?!

Ye Wei was so excited!

She recalled the TV dramas and novels she had seen before. When the protagonist was asked “Are you not afraid of me?”, whether it was the Male Lead or the Female Lead, they would cleverly answer they are not afraid! They would find a bunch of excuses to deceive people while appearing impressive that they shook everyone’s heart! She never imagined she would encounter such a scene today. At any rate, she was the vicious Supporting Female Lead ah……

A vicious Supporting Female Lead encountered this problem. No matter what her answer was, there was no doubt she would die!

“I… Mo-xiansheng has a noble status. I am only an ordinary person. Naturally, I am afraid… Mph.”

“Heh.” Mo Yuan squeezed Ye Wei’s hand with force and pinched her next words down.

The man narrowed his eyes and said with a warning, “Afraid? Why do I feel you are not afraid of me instead? Don’t lie, I want to hear you tell the truth. ”

Ye Wei blinked, threw herself over and hugged the man’s arm, and loudly beseeched, “Mo-xiansheng, don’t throw me away!”

Mo Yuan, “……”   

He frowned. He was caught off guard by Ye Wei’s bold move. No one dared to pounce on him like this except for the dog. For a moment, he was a little overwhelmed. He almost raised his feet and kicked Ye Wei, “What are you doing! Just speak!”

Ye Wei lifted her head and expressed sincerely, “If you want me to be afraid of you, I can do it. I really can! ”

Mo Yuan, “……”   

Ye Wei, “Mo-xiansheng, you believe me. I am a versatile girl with unlimited potential! I can do anything!”

Mo Yuan, “……”   

No, you can’t.
