Chapter 445 Pretending Not to Know
"You don't want to?" Gu Beichen asked instead of answering.
Jian Mo pulled the corner of her mouth, and before she could answer, Fang Xilan brought in two dishes.
"You eat first, I'll get two more!"
Jian Mo nodded with a smile: "Thank you, Sister Lan."
Fang Xilan smiled and turned to go out...
However, when she closed the door of the private room, she frowned slightly and looked back.
Although she couldn't see anything...
Why do I feel... the atmosphere inside is weird?
Fang Xilan didn't think much and continued to cook...
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when Jian Mo and Gu Beichen finished dinner, and it was almost twelve o'clock when they returned to the villa.
"I can't sleep..." Jian Mo raised his eyebrows, "That... I'll go draw for a while!"
Gu Beichen frowned slightly, "It's already very late."
"But I slept all afternoon..." Jian Mo hugged Gu Beichen's waist, "Besides, don't you have a meeting to attend?"
Gu Beichen frowned, obviously not knowing how Jian Mo knew.
"I'll wait until you're done..." Jian Mo looked smug, as if to say, I won't tell you how I know.
Gu Beichen sighed softly, the meeting to come was very important, involving another shareholder meeting of Emperor.
In addition, Jian Mo did sleep all afternoon, and ate so much at night, and needed to digest it... He nodded without saying anything else.
The light of the crystal glass lamp poured down, casting the figure of Jian Mo sitting at the dining table on the ground.
On the computer was the architectural drawing of the villa for Shao Shi, and she had not yet completed the interior design...
However, Jian Mo had no thoughts at all at this moment.
Taking the drawing pen and paper, Jian Mo simply began to continue studying the double-layer QR code...
Time passed little by little, and when the hour hand pointed to the two o'clock position, a slight sound came from the study.
Gu Beichen stood at the stairs, looking at Jian Mo who had fallen asleep on the dining table, frowned slightly, and walked down...
His eagle eyes fell on the unfinished QR code, sighed softly, and leaned over to hug Jian Mo.
"Hmm..." Jian Mo whimpered uneasily, then found a comfortable position in Gu Beichen's arms and continued to sleep.
The night was already very deep.
It was so deep that it seemed to be silent...
Chu Zixiao was still in the law firm, and a desk lamp cast a large area of darkness on the entire office.
A pile of files was placed on the desk, and it had not been turned over for a long time.
He seemed a little anxious, picked up the phone, put it down, and picked it up again... After going back and forth several times, he finally picked it up and opened it.
The mysterious man's text message was imprinted in his eyes: The fourth pill is very important to Jian Mo... Whether to give it to Gu Beichen, or let him give up Jian Mo, it depends on what you want!
This text message was like a spell, casting a magic in Chu Zixiao's heart...
He dropped his hand weakly, and the phone just flashed a faint light, reflecting the haziness of the ground... until the light disappeared because of the lock screen.
When the morning came, the rain that had stopped originally began to fall again.
After having breakfast with Jian Mo in the villa, Gu Beichen drove to Emperor.
Before leaving, he specifically told Aunt Luo to call him immediately if Jian Mo had any problems.
"Madam..." Aunt Luo put a cup of milk tea where it would not hinder Jian Mo, glanced at the design drawing on the dining table, and said helplessly, "You have been drawing all morning, and you don't even take a break..."
Jian Mo raised the corner of her mouth, and when the drawing pen fell on the last stroke, she handed it to Aunt Luo like offering a treasure.
Aunt Luo looked at it curiously and frowned, "Is this a QR code?"
"Almost..." Jian Mo hugged Aunt Luo and laughed, "But this is double-layered, it needs to be decomposed."
"So troublesome?" Aunt Luo frowned, "Wouldn't it be better to use the computer directly? Whatever you want, can't it be automatically generated as soon as you enter it?"
"That's so boring..." Jian Mo raised her eyebrows and said, "Only those who draw it themselves are sincere."
Aunt Luo looked at Jian Mo and suddenly reacted, "Is it for Young Master Chen?"
"Hehe..." Jian Mo grinned, hiding the faint sadness deep in her eyes.
Aunt Luo smiled ambiguously. Seeing that Jian Mo's cheeks were a little red, she didn't tease her, "I'll go cook..."
"Aunt Luo, cook more!" Jian Mo said hurriedly.
Aunt Luo thought Jian Mo was hungry today, and nodded with a smile, "Well, make two more of what you like."
"No..." Jian Mo cleaned up the things on the table, "I want to send food to Achen later."
Aunt Luo was stunned for a moment, and nodded hurriedly.
Jian Mo took the packed things to her study...
She basically didn't use this study except to put things.
She was used to drawing on the dining table, and this habit Jian Mo couldn't change...
There was a sound of "crashing". Jian Mo looked at the drawings that she accidentally spilled, sighed helplessly, and squatted down to pick them up.
When she picked up the last one, which was also the double-layer QR code picture that had just been completed, Jian Mo's movements gradually stopped, and a pair of black pupils fell on it, unable to move for a long time.
Tears fell on the QR code without warning...
Jian Mo was startled and hurried to wipe it...but the corner of the QR code was blurred.
Looking at the blurred area, Jian Mo bit her lip tightly and looked to the side...
Outside the window, the rain was still falling, but not too heavy.
I don’t know whether it was the rain that blurred my vision or the tears that wet my eyes. Gradually, the scenery in front of me became increasingly blurry.
She knew what Achen was thinking, but...she pretended not to know, just thinking that they were firm to each other and would continue like this.
Achen knew that she knew what he was thinking, but she also pretended not to know...
If the wheel of fate had to end like this, what on earth would she do?
"Young Madam..." Aunt Luo's voice came from downstairs, "The food has been prepared."
Jian Mo wiped away her tears in a panic, "Well, okay..." She responded, got up from the ground, and put all the drawings on the desk.
Looking at the QR code with blurred corners again, Jian Mo pulled out other drawings and pressed them on top. While wiping her tears, Jian Mo left the study and went downstairs.
Driving to the Emperor Group...
After taking the exclusive elevator, Jian Mo went straight to the top floor.
Watching the rising numbers flashing, Jian Mo took a deep breath and smiled widely in the mirror to prevent her sadness from overflowing...
A "ding" sound came, and at the same time the elevator door opened, Jian Mo walked out.
The corridor was quiet. Jian Mo looked at the time, thinking that Susan and Xiao Jing would have gone downstairs to eat.
She didn't tell Gu Beichen when she came over. Looking in the direction of the office, Jian Mo thought to herself: Isn't he also there?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Gu Beichen's deep voice coming from the hidden office...
"Your terms!"
Jian Mo's steps slowly stopped and she stood by the door without moving.
The quiet space was solemn. After a while, Leng Ran's voice came: "My condition... is her!"
