Love Late

At the exit of the A City International Airport, a handsome man wearing a camel-coloured woolen coat appeared.

The man's appearance was outstanding to begin with. Thus, even though his clothes were nothing special when compared to the surrounding pedestrians, it still attracted quite a few people's attention.

What was even more rare was that his eyes were filled with gentleness, causing others to subconsciously indulge in his gaze once they met. They only came back to their senses when he was far away.

However, the man who caused all of this knew nothing at all. After he walked out of the station, he continued forward and arrived in front of the crowd that had come to pick him up.

The man's eyes were focused on those people. When he saw the middle-aged couple in the crowd, his gentle eyes were filled with the joy of reunion. He shouted, "Dad, mom, I'm here!"

The middle-aged couple also saw their son, so they quickened their steps and arrived in front of him. Seeing that their son was still pretty, but also somewhat thin, the woman's voice was choked with sobs.

"HuaiChen, you're finally home!"

"Mom, I'm sorry for worrying you!" This man, Gu HuaiChen, also spoke with great excitement. The moment he saw his parents, he realized how homesick he was.

He used the excuse of hurting himself to leave the country. His heart was comfortable, but he had never thought about whether his parents had ever worried about him. It was too unfilial!

"It doesn't matter, as long as you come back!" Mother Gu's heart was comforted. Seeing that her son finally understood their worries as parents, she felt that her worries these past few months hadn't been in vain.

"Let's go. This is the airport. We'll talk when we get home." Seeing that they were about to have a tragic and joyous scene at the airport, Father Gu hurriedly persuaded and took the luggage from his son.

Only then did Mother Gu react, she hurriedly wiped away the tears flowing from the corner of her eyes and said, "That's right, son, let's go back first. You must be tired after riding on the plane for almost 10 hours, right?"

"Mom, I'm not tired. I'll be more energetic when I see you and dad." Gu HuaiChen held Gu Ruoyun's mother's hand as they walked, arm in arm. Father Gu walked behind them, both of them looking at each other with a sense of helplessness and gratification in his eyes.

"Then you must be hungry. When your father and I came to the airport, we had already instructed the servants to prepare some food for you."

"I'm not hungry either. I've already eaten on the plane."

"What is there to eat on the plane? Don't lie to me!"

The mother and son had a lot of things that they wanted to say to each other after not seeing each other for a long time, but at this moment, those words had turned into words of concern to each other.

Amidst the concerned voices, Gu HuaiChen finally walked out of the airport. Looking at the city that hadn't changed at all, he felt a sense of melancholy.

It turned out that he missed this city even more than he had imagined. When he left, it was not yet midsummer, but when he returned, it was already in the middle of winter. Time flew by so quickly.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go home when he was overseas, but he had endured it for months, months, and months. After surviving Christmas, he finally couldn't help but get on the plane and return home as the new year approached.

It was going to be the new year soon, and if he didn't go home now, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself.

Jiang Yu did not receive the news of Gu HuaiChen's return home very late. The next day, after Gu Huai Chen had finished the jet lag, he specially called Jiang Yu.

"Alright, when is it convenient? Shall we have a meal together?"

"HuaiChen, you've returned home?" Jiang Yu was pleasantly surprised. Although Gu Huai Chen had not told her clearly, from the tone of his voice, he must have come back.

"Yes, I came back yesterday, so I contacted you today." Hearing her excited voice, Gu HuaiChen was very happy as well. "How about it? Do you have time to meet her?"

"Of course I have the time. It's better to face the sun than to face it head on. How about we do it tonight!"

"Alright, then I'll confirm the location first. I'll send you a message when the time comes."

The two of them quickly decided on their meeting tonight. After that, Gu Huai Chen hung up. Jiang Yu put down his phone and thought for a moment before making a call to Mo Yan.

When Mo Yan, who had received her call, heard her say that he would not return home for dinner, he naturally asked if they were having fun …

"You want to meet him? "No way!" Upon hearing that he was meeting with Gu HuaiChen, Mo Yan did not agree.

"Why?" Jiang Yu did not understand, "It's just a meal!"

"No matter if his goal is to eat or reminisce about the past, I won't allow you to see him!" Jiang Yu, who had already gotten used to Mo Yan's gentle side, felt his strong opposition towards him and was very surprised.

"Can't I even see a friend?" Jiang Yu who said this felt extremely wronged in his heart. It was unfair that he could see Xie Cheng Ya without any restraints and obstruct her freedom of making friends!

"His intentions are impure!"

Mo Yan's comment almost made Ginger laugh. To say that Gu Huaichen's heart was impure was simply a joke. She had known Gu HuaiChen for so many years, but she still didn't know what kind of person he was.

"Are you jealous?" Suddenly, Jiang Yu thought of this point. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to explain Mo Yan's strange attitude.

After a long silence, Mo Yan did not utter a single word. It was clear that he had tacitly agreed to her words.

"He's really jealous?" Jiang Yu covered his mouth and laughed, "Don't think too much, he and I broke up a long time ago, and we are only friends now, friends can invite me to dinner, and I've already promised him!"

She thought he would be able to nod in agreement.

However, to Jiang Yu's surprise, even though Mo Yan no longer objected, he still made another request, "Then I want to go as well!"

He wants to go as well? He never expected that he would be so worried. Although he agreed, he still wanted to 'monitor' her closely, and if she wanted to go, she had no choice but to agree.

"Fine, if you really want to go, then go."

Thus, when Gu HuaiChen finally sent the location and time of the dinner over to Jiang Yu's phone, he didn't expect that in such a short period of time, another person had entered the restaurant.

It was only when the man walked in behind Jiang that he found out everything.

"Hello, Director Mo." Although he was somewhat surprised, Gu HuaiChen quickly calmed himself down. Because he no longer bothered with the matters between him and Jiang Yu, he could now face Mo Yan with ease.

"" Towards his courtesy, Mo Yan merely nodded his head, without a hint of a smile on his face. His gaze towards Gu HuaiChen seemed to be saying, "Let's see if you have any more flowery words to say."

"Sorry, Mo Yan wants to meet you too." Jiang Yu smiled apologetically at Gu Huai Chen, then she tugged at the corner of his shirt, reminding him not to forget his demeanor. He reminded her before she came in, but the result was that it was completely useless.

If she had known earlier that she would not have let him come, she would have never made her feel so awkward when meeting Gu HuaiChen again in the future.

Faced with such a scene, Gu HuaiChen did not get angry. Instead, he smiled faintly. He knew that Mo Yan would not come as Jiang Yu had said. He also wanted to meet him.

He must be worried that he and Ginger would have a comeback. Look at the jealousy in his eyes.

"It's alright, it's more lively when the three of them eat together." Gu HuaiChen adjusted the atmosphere, "Sit down first. Since we didn't know Mo Yan would be back, we've chosen our favorite food. It's not necessarily to his liking. Would you like to take a look at the menu again?"

This last sentence was said to Mo Yan, but he did not show any gratitude. He snorted and said, "No need. I will eat whatever I like!"

In his heart, Mo Yan was thinking that using these words to test him was simply wishful thinking.

Gu HuaiChen had no choice but to order the waiter to serve the dishes. He could tell that Mo Yan had misunderstood him, and if he wanted to explain, he didn't know if Mo Yan would listen. He couldn't help but cast a glance at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu didn't know how to respond to his question, but she knew that she was the one who had brought this tense atmosphere. Therefore, she had to do her best to make Mo Yan understand that she and Gu HuaiChen were only friends.

This was also one of the reasons why she had agreed to come here. Jiang Yu wanted to let Mo Yan know that the relationship between her and Gu Huichen was innocent. But now that he thought about it, it might not be as easy as he thought. At least not now.

Therefore, Jiang Yu did not try to appease Mo Yan first. Instead, he started chatting with Gu HuaiChen in a very relaxed manner.

"How long are you planning to stay this time? When are you going to leave?" She could feel the tension in the man's nerves loosen when she asked this question.

"I don't plan on leaving anymore. I've stayed for more than half a year," Gu HuaiChen said with a sad expression, as if he was reminiscing about a foreign land. "Truth be told, part of the reason I left at that time was because I avoided it. I've figured it out now."

"Furthermore, my parents are already old. Even if it's for them, I should stay."

Gu HuaiChen's words were reasonable, and Jiang Yu also agreed with him. Only Mo Yan's relaxed expression turned ugly once again.

He had thought that it would take Gu HuaiChen several years to get back to study abroad, and even if he did return this time, he wouldn't be able to stay for long.

What would he do to stop this person from coming out from time to time? After all, compared to Qi Fengyan, who he was wary of, Gu Huai Chen had an extraordinary significance to Jiang Yu.

The more Mo Yan thought about it, the more conflicted he became. He felt a headache coming on, and then he suddenly thought of something. He could deal with any situation at hand. Gu HuaiChen had nothing to worry about, it was just Jiang Yu's past style.

More importantly, he suddenly thought of something. Gu Huai Chen and Jiang Mo Mo Mo Mo had been together before. With Jiang Mo Mo Mo Mo's character, would she be unmoved after knowing that Gu Yi Chen had returned?

He had heard that Jiang Shu An was a little restless recently and kept divulging to the reputable clans that he wanted to get married. It was evident that he was already planning to end Jiang Mo Mo Mo Mo's confinement.

In that case, once Jiang Mo Mo Mo was free, would Gu Huai Chen still be able to maintain his current composure? Mo Yan was suddenly filled with anticipation.
