Promise You a Prosperous Life - C16
Mom was rushed to Scenic Spot Hospital, bandaged and photographed, and after nearly an hour of busy work, the doctor finally confirmed that Mom was only injured by the skin. After waking up, she would be fine.
However, Yu Mo Yi disagreed. After all, she fell down from the mountain and was so old, so she had to observe for a night before leaving. I looked at the gauze on her body and didn’t insist.
Then, as the doctor had said, my mother opened her eyes as if nothing had happened, put the flower on my head, and began to look for food and drink.
In the evening, his mother fell asleep, and Yu Mo Yi suggested that they go to the top of the mountain to see the scenery.
He said, “Gu Yan, there’s a nearby observation deck. When we go up, we’ll be able to see half of the city at night. Since we’re staying, we might as well go enjoy it.”
I thought that was right, so I went with Yu Mo to instruct the nurse before heading to the observation deck.
The third side of the viewing platform was encircled by mountains. The remaining side was aimed at the city at the foot of the mountain. Under the night sky, all of the tall and imposing buildings no longer had a cold and hard side.
The night wind blew, and everything in front of his eyes seemed to be real, yet also like a dream.
It was a rare resting place. I closed my eyes and greedily allowed myself to breathe in. Suddenly, Yu Mo opened his mouth and spoke with a deep apology.
“Gu Yan, I’m sorry. It was because of me that you were humiliated in public. But don’t worry, I’ve already told the security guards not to let Yang Wenzhen in.”
So the moment Yu Mo found out about this and made such a decision, I was a little touched. I sniffed and joked around as if nothing had happened.
“They’ve already fought, and it’s already troublesome. Let everything go according to the wind.”
Yu Mo then replied, “No, you think too simply. According to my understanding of Yang Vince, she is a woman who will never give up. As long as you stay at the company for one day, she will keep a close eye on you. Your future life will still be threatened.”
Yu Mo’s words surprised me. It seemed that love could not only make a woman into a timid person, but could also turn her into a crazy warrior. However, I couldn’t possibly lose my rations because of this, as that would be too cowardly.
While he was deep in thought, Yu Mo spoke.
“Gu Yan, the most effective way to solve all of this is to get married. That way, Yang Wenheng won’t have any more reason to mess around and will be able to stop everyone else in the company from talking. Of course, you have to agree to that.”
For a moment, I was more shocked than ever by what I had heard. Yu Mo — was he proposing to me? Am I dreaming?
I looked at him with a burning face. It was absolutely true that the deep and wise eyes in front of me were staring at me intently, waiting for my answer.
I felt like a burning fireball inside me, and a little more firepower would set me on fire, and then I would agree without hesitation, but in the end I said it.
“Director Yu, stop joking around.”
I admit that I had a dream of Prince Charming, and Yu Mo — well, Yu Mo — matched it, but after all this, I realized that the gap between me and Yu Mo Yi was not a small gap. There were many obstacles that I couldn’t overcome.
Back then, he and Mu Hai had only encountered a family incident, and their relationship had been defeated in just a few years, let alone until now.
I didn’t want to be hurt again as soon as the wound was healed, so Prince Charming was only fit to dream, and I couldn’t agree to his proposal.
Yu Mo Yi seemed to have not expected that he would be rejected. He asked in disbelief, “Gu Yan, have you thought it through clearly? After refusing, we have no chance anymore, and you will also lose a chance to change your fate.”
I said firmly, “I know.”
Yu Mo Yi’s gaze lingered on my face for a long time, then he decided, “Alright, I’ll follow your wishes. From now on, we will have a relationship of a higher level. However, if you have something you can look for me for, I’ll definitely help you.”
I sincerely said, “Thank you. I’ll try not to trouble you.”
As I said this, I clearly felt my heart tighten, but it was quickly overshadowed by a strong sense of self-esteem.
After that, the two of us didn’t say anything more, we just watched the scenery for a while, and then we went down the mountain one after another.
