Chapter 16 Mo Weiyue

Gu Shiyao walked to a place where fabrics were selected. She saw all kinds of fabrics piled up in the room. She explained the fabrics she wanted to the boss. The boss was very smart. As soon as they entered the door, he could see these fabrics. People's identities are different from ordinary people.

"Miss, what do you think of this piece of fabric?"

Gu Shiyao lowered her head and touched the smooth material. She felt that the texture was very good. She curled her lips and smiled. This kind of material must be very good for making cheongsam.

She looked at the other fabrics, then pointed at the fabrics she had selected and said, "I want this, this, and these."

Mu Yichen didn't say a word. He motioned to Adjutant Zhang to pay. After Adjutant Zhang paid the money, he left them the delivery address.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Shiyao moved to the next store. She carefully selected tables, chairs, potted plants, curtains and many other things.

After choosing the last item, she turned to look at Mu Yichen and found that there was no irritated expression on his face.

She thought that his mood today was like sunshine after the rain, and he looked good.

She glanced at Mu Yichen secretly again. It didn't matter. She met his eyes directly. His dark pupils were filled with a smile. This sunny smile almost made Gu Shiyao fall in love.

She turned away decisively, not looking at him.

After buying all the things, Gu Shiyao suddenly remembered that there was one more important thing he hadn't bought.

She turned her body sideways and said to Mu Yichen beside her: "You guys get in the car first, and I'll go over there and buy some roasted chestnuts."

"Go and come back quickly." Mu Yichen said. Boss Gu is really a foodie.

Gu Shiyao walked among the pedestrians and walked to a stall selling sugar-roasted chestnuts. Just smelling the aroma of roasted chestnuts made people salivate.

She didn't hesitate and ordered two pounds of sugar-roasted chestnuts.

"Boss Gu, I didn't expect to meet you here."

A familiar voice came to Gu Shiyao's ears. Gu Shiyao turned her head and saw a quiet and gentle woman wearing a light green cheongsam. This person was Mo Weiyue who often visited her cheongsam shop in Licheng.

Gu Shiyao's heart was beating fast and erratically. Thinking of Mo Yunshang who was covered in blood that night, she was a little afraid to look directly into Mo Weiyue's eyes.

Wearing a cheongsam, Mo Weiyue's elegant and gentle temperament was outlined. Mo Weiyue smiled and said, "Boss Gu, you also like to eat roasted chestnuts with sugar."

Gu Shiyao nodded: "I like it very much."

She glanced at Mo Weiyue and found that there was no one else around her. Did she come to Yunzhou City alone?

She thought it was impossible, how could a fragile beauty like her travel a long distance to come here alone.

Gu Shiyao asked doubtfully: "Weiyue, did you come to Yunzhou City alone? Your brother can rest assured that you will come alone."

Mo Weiyue watched the stall owner frying sugar and chestnuts, and her attention was diverted.

"Hey, don't mention it. I wanted my brother to accompany me. Who knows what meeting my brother was sent to attend. Shanshan's cousin happened to be here to discuss business, so I came with them."

"I'm here to buy candied chestnuts, and Shanshan is going to buy candied haws."

Gu Shiyao lowered his head. Mo Weiyue had been kept in the dark until now. She didn't know that her brother was now in prison instead of attending a military meeting.

She blamed herself a little, and for the first time in her life, she felt a strong sense of guilt towards someone. “Boss Gu, are you coming to Yunzhou City to buy fabrics?”

Mo Weiyue is a frequent visitor to Gu Shiyao's shop and is also her friend. She knows very well that Gu Shiyao occasionally goes out to buy fabrics.

Gu Shiyao said a vague "hmm".

The stall owner fried the sugar-roasted chestnuts, and she scooped them up separately and put them into paper bags.

Mu Yichen was sitting in the car. He found that Gu Shiyao had not come back, so he got out of the car to look for her.

Standing not far away, he saw her talking to a woman wearing a cheongsam.

He walked over and put his arm around her shoulders.

Mu Yichen glanced at Mo Weiyue. For some reason, he saw that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember her name: "Boss Gu, why have you been here for so long? Is this your friend?"

As soon as Mu Yichen finished speaking, Gu Shiyao's face turned pale instantly. She felt her head was buzzing and she was a little out of breath.

The man standing in front of him was the culprit who tortured Mo Weiyue's brother. Gu Shiyao was not sure whether he recognized Mo Weiyue. If Mo Weiyue fell into Mu Yichen's hands, the consequences would be disastrous.

Gu Shiyao admitted that she thought too much, but sometimes she had to nip things in the bud. She explained vaguely: "It's my friend, Yueyue. I feel a little uncomfortable, so I'll leave first."

Before Mo Weiyue could continue to speak, Gu Shiyao grabbed Mu Yichen's wrist and walked back without daring to stop at all.

Mu Yichen didn't know what he had done wrong. He glanced at Gu Shiyao out of habit and found that her face was particularly ugly: "Boss Gu, why do you look so..."

"Shut up," Gu Shiyao roared at him, then took a deep breath and turned his gaze outside the car: "Sorry, I want to be quiet."

Adjutant Zhang felt that the atmosphere in the car was tense. Why did Boss Gu become unhappy when she came back from buying candied roasted chestnuts? He did not dare to look back and drove the car forward intently.

Arriving at the Governor's Mansion, Adjutant Zhang could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He quickly got out of the car, leaving space for the two of them.

The Overseer and Boss Gu can make as much noise as they like in the car, it's none of his business.

Mu Yichen tilted his head, his dark pupils reflected her appearance, and he said softly: "You can talk now, what happened just now?"

What is she going to say?
  Whenever Mo Weiyue is mentioned, Mu Yichen will definitely come back, catch Mo Weiyue, and threaten Mo Yunshang. But even if she doesn't say anything, I believe Mu Yichen has already noticed the clues of the matter with his IQ. .

Gu Shiyao stared at her, thinking of Mo Weiyue and Mo Yunshang who was in prison but didn't know whether he was alive or dead. She didn't know how to explain it to Mu Yichen.

She really shouldn't interfere in his military affairs, but when she saw Mo Weiyue, she felt a little uneasy.

She lowered her head, unable to see any emotional changes, and her voice was faint, as if she was stating one thing: "The woman wearing a cheongsam you saw just now is Mo Yunshang's sister. She came to Yunzhou City to visit and... I don’t know how much my brother has suffered at your hands.”

At this point, Gu Shiyao paused: "Mu Yichen, I shouldn't care about your affairs, but Mo Yunshang helped me in the beginning. Without him, my cheongsam shop in Licheng wouldn't be able to open at all. .”

Hearing Gu Shiyao express his feelings, Mu Yichen seemed to understand the ins and outs of the matter.

Mo Yunshang who came out of Gu Shiyao's room that day just happened to hide in her room, and she didn't know the real purpose of Mo Yunshang's visit to Yunzhou City this time.
