Love Late

You're prettier than it is

Mo Yan didn't notice anything wrong with Jiang Yu that night. Even when he woke up the next day and found Jiang Yu no longer around, he wasn't alerted, although it was strange to see him sitting at the dining table when he went downstairs.

"You woke up rather early today." He casually said this sentence.

Jiang Yu didn't say anything and didn't even raise his head to look at him as if he didn't see him at all.

Although Mo Yan didn't expect her to answer, her indifferent attitude made him feel even more surprised. What had happened to her so early in the morning? What had made her unhappy?

Should he care?

Thus, Mo Yan asked her, "What happened? Why didn't you say anything?"

"Nothing." This time, Jiang Yu actually answered him, but she did not even look at him. If he did not hear her, Mo Yan would have thought that she did it on purpose.

No, she did it on purpose. Mo Yan furrowed his brows. From last night to this morning, Jiang Yu had appeared a little unusual. If not for her performance just now, he would not have noticed it.

This made Mo Yan even more confused. Why was Jiang Yu so unhappy? He did not even mention a word when he asked, unless the person who made her unhappy was him …

After finishing his breakfast, Mo Yan didn't even know when he had made Jiang You unhappy. It was only when he arrived at the company and sat in his office that he suddenly felt enlightened.

If he hadn't guessed wrong, it was because he had missed his appointment yesterday. Although there was a reason for it, he was the one who had agreed to Ginger first, and although she had understood his difficulties, she felt a little uncomfortable inside.

Otherwise, when he came home last night, she wouldn't have gone to bed so early.

Mo Yan was vexed that he did not pay attention to Jiang Wei, which made her sulk for a whole day. Now, even if he did, she did not know if he would make it in time.

As he thought of this, Mo Yan couldn't help but make another note in his heart to Xie Chengya. If not for the fact that he had been too impatient and had neglected Jiang Yu's feelings, he would not have reflected on this matter until now.

However, there was no point in pursuing the matter now. Mo Yan silently thought to himself. The most important thing for him to do now was to apologize to Jiang Yu as soon as possible, and then properly compensate her.

Thinking about this, he immediately picked up the phone and was about to make a call to Ginger, but just as he flipped open the phone to call Ginger, he suddenly thought of another idea.

Thus, when Ginger was just ten minutes from work that day, an unexpected guest suddenly appeared in her office.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Mo Yan being led over by her secretary, Jiang Yu was extremely shocked. She furrowed his brows, not understanding what he had come here for.

"I came to pick you up from work!" Mo Yan spoke with a matter-of-factly expression. He smiled at Jiang Yu and asked, "Are you happy?"

"Right, I'm very happy!" Jiang Yu helplessly rolled his eyes at him, muttering in his heart, "Is he really just here to pick her up from work?"

She couldn't believe it!

What happened next also verified her conjecture. After ten minutes had passed, when the time to get off duty officially arrived, Mo Yan pulled her out of the office without waiting for her to refuse.

They walked all the way to the car park. Jiang Yu originally drove himself to work, but seeing Mo Yan's current state, he definitely wouldn't let her drive back personally. Thus, he allowed her to hold his hand and get into his car.

At this point, Jiang Yu's resentment towards Mo Yan had mostly subsided, but she still couldn't completely forgive him emotionally. Regardless of what had happened between him and Xie Chengya, whether she was overthinking it or not, it would be wrong for him to not reject her approach.

There were people who lost their balance in the horse. Who knew how much time Mo Yan would spend with Xie Chengya?

Jiang Yu pursed his lips in thought. She had thought about this for a long time, so she didn't notice that Mo Yan wasn't heading in the direction of the Mo Residence.

"This isn't the way home." She looked at Mo Yan in astonishment and asked, "Where are we going?"

"We are indeed not going home now. As for where we are going, you will know very soon." Mo Yan glanced at her attentively as a smile appeared on his face.

This made Jiang Yu even more curious, and when he thought about how he suddenly came on a whim to pick her up from work, he immediately understood that this must have been his plan long ago.

Then, let her see what exactly he was up to.

Mo Yan did not know that Jiang Yu was waiting to see him play that trick. At this moment, he was very serious as he drove towards his destination, a newly opened restaurant. He was prepared to apologize to Jiang Yu for his good food.

Of course, this wasn't all he had prepared. Long before he had come to pick Ginger up, he had booked a couple's suite at the hotel and spent a romantic evening with him. Tomorrow was the weekend, and neither of them needed to be early.

However, he didn't tell Ginger everything he had arranged, because he was going to surprise her. If he told her in advance, then the surprise would be greatly reduced.

"Right here?" Jiang asked Mo Yan as he drove the car to the restaurant.

Mo Yan smiled and nodded at her. Seeing her 'as expected' expression, he couldn't help but blush in his heart.

However, since they were already here, they naturally had to follow the plan. Thus, he said in an extremely gentle tone, "Get off the car. I've already reserved the location. I'll be waiting for you to order."

Since someone was treating her to a meal, Jiang Yu couldn't possibly refuse. Coincidentally, she had also heard that this restaurant was the tallest building in A City, and she also heard that the Mo Group was involved in the design.

Looking at the scenery outside, from where she was sitting, she could see all the night scenery of A city. Jiang Yu was a little dizzy and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful!"

It had been a long time since she had enjoyed such a beautiful scenery. In the past half year, she had first experienced the framing of Jiang Mo Mo Mo, and because of the rumors in the past, Mo Yan's mother's attitude towards her changed. Her life was extremely tight, and she had no time to calm down and admire such beautiful scenery.

"Indeed, it is very beautiful. However, it is also the same scenery. Compared to it, you are even more beautiful." Mo Yan, who was sitting across her, looked at her sparkling eyes and delicate face under the night sky.

"You're acting a little strange today, your mouth is very sweet!" Jiang Yu withdrew his gaze from the window and glanced coquettishly at Mo Yan.

"What's strange is that these are my heartfelt words." Jiang Yu's facial features were outstanding to begin with. If not, he would not have such a gorgeous reputation. In the past, she always gave him a domineering attitude, but he didn't particularly like her. Perhaps it was because she had gradually opened her heart with Mo Yan that she gave others a feeling of gentleness.

Mo Yan really liked the current Jiang Yu. This kind of woman suited his heart the most. She was neither a soft dodder nor a domineering Overlord Flower.

Although Jiang Yu's expression showed that he didn't mind Mo Yan's praise, she was actually very happy inside. There was no woman who didn't like hearing others praise her, especially when this praise came from Mo Yan.

He no longer looked at the scenery outside of the window. Jiang Yu turned his head and his gaze met Mo Yan's. Looking at the deep emotions in Mo Yan's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a trace of gentleness in his heart.

At this moment, no matter how wronged she was, she was still slowly dissipating. Furthermore, after calming down, she had thought about what happened last night and thought that it might not be the case.

She was only thinking this way, but she couldn't let that thought get away in her heart. Otherwise, Jiang Yu would not treat Mo Yan coldly now.

"Do you like it here?" Feeling the heavy atmosphere, Mo Yan spoke up to ease the tension.

"Not bad."

Jiang Yu's answer did not satisfy him, so he continued to ask: "How many times do we have to eat from now on?"

"Not much, your social meetup is already quite good. Since you have the time, why don't you go home and eat?" Jiang Yu said disapprovingly.

At this point, Mo Yan was sure that Jiang You must have been angry about what happened last night. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face. His inky black eyes were also filled with a lot of smiles.

"I was in the wrong for what happened yesterday. It won't happen again." His eyes were focused on Jiang Yu, his expression extremely serious.

Since he took the initiative to admit his wrongs to her, Jiang Yu became uneasy instead, because if he did so, then she would seem unreasonable …

Thus, she pretended to be confused and changed the topic, "What happened yesterday, why did you apologize to me?"

It was finally Mo Yan's turn to be surprised. He looked suspiciously at Jiang Yu. Even though Jiang Yu acted very naturally, he was still able to detect a trace of doubt in his eyes.

But soon, he understood one thing. Since Jiang Yu wanted this to be the case, then there was no need for him to be bothered about this. His goal seemed to have been achieved.

After eating dinner in this luxurious restaurant, Jiang Yu thought that they should return home this time. However, when she got on the car, she found that Mo Yan was heading in another direction.

"Where are we going now?" Jiang You was surprised.

"Hotel, of course." This time around, Mo Yan no longer kept this matter a secret from her. Instead, he directly told her the answer.

To the hotel? Jiang Yu was once again caught up in a new round of mystery. It was only when Mo Yan took her to the couple suite that he had booked that she finally understood his intentions.

As soon as he entered the hotel, he saw the big pink romantic bed filled with hearts of rose petals. With a small sniff, he could smell the faint fragrance in the room, as well as the faint pink light from the lamp, which filled the entire room with a romantic color …

Jiang Yu looked at the scene in front of her and was completely intoxicated, ignoring the bed covered in roses. Everything here gave her the illusion that she was in a dream.

But before long, a pair of strong hands suddenly wrapped around her waist from behind.
