The knocking on the door startled Mo Yuan who was immersed in his own world.
Mo Yuan raised his head. When he saw that it was Uncle Li at the door, he habitually raised his hand to rub his temples and asked, "What's wrong?"
Uncle Li looked at Mo Yuan worriedly. "Master, didn't Miss come back with you?"
Mo Yuan shook his head slowly. "She knows that I used her as a substitute."
Uncle Li knew that Mo Yuan used Jiujiu as a substitute.
However, Uncle Li and Mo Yuan thought differently.
The dead were already dead. No matter how much they missed them, they were still dead. However, the living were still alive. So what if Mo Yuan used Jiujiu as a substitute? As long as the person by Mo Yuan's side was Jiujiu, it was fine.
However, Uncle Li knew better than Mo Yuan how much women cared about this matter.
When he heard Mo Yuan say that Jiujiu knew that Mo Yuan used her as a substitute, Uncle Li's brows instantly furrowed. He looked at Mo Yuan and said, "Master, did you explain to Miss?"
Mo Yuan shook his head slowly.
The fact that he used Jiujiu as a substitute was a fact. He had nothing to explain.
Uncle Li was speechless.
Uncle Li looked at Mo Yuan as if he was looking at an ignorant child. "Master, it's not that I want to criticize you, but you're really in the wrong. No girl wouldn't mind being used as a substitute. Moreover, Miss has a strong personality. If she knew that you used her as a substitute, it would be strange if she didn't leave.
However, Miss is indebted to you for saving her life. The two of you have known each other for 15 years. Naturally, your relationship is not something that ordinary people can compare to. As long as Master is willing to talk to Miss properly, Miss will definitely forgive you and come back with you. "
Mo Yuan did not pay much attention to what Uncle Li said at the beginning. However, he remembered the latter part of Miss will definitely forgive you and come back with you.
Mo Yuan looked at Uncle Li and asked, "Really?"
Uncle Li nodded. "Of course."
The next day, Jiujiu saw Mo Yuan at the company's headquarters.
Mo Yuan wore a dark blue suit and held a bouquet of pink flowers in his hand. Although they weren't roses, they still looked pretty.
Mo Yuan was already enough to surprise Jiujiu. Now that there was a bouquet of flowers, it was a strange scene.
Jiujiu brought Mo Yuan to her office. She asked her assistant to find a vase and put the flowers in water. Then, she looked at Mo Yuan and asked, "Why are you here?"
Since it was her first day at work, Jiujiu wore a more formal business suit. Her suit was paired with an A-line skirt, silk stockings, and thin high heels. Her seaweed-like hair was tied up behind her head. Her smoky makeup and retro red lipstick made her look like a female villain in a movie, domineering.
Mo Yuan looked at Jiujiu, who looked cold and fierce because of her mature makeup. "You said that day that I would look for you when I realized that you were different. I understand now."
Mo Yuan looked into Jiujiu's eyes. "You and she are two completely different individuals. Whether it's your personalities or other things, you are completely different. I shouldn't have treated you as her substitute. I'm sorry."
Jiujiu asked Mo Yuan to go back and think about what was different about them. However, she did not expect Mo Yuan to figure it out so quickly.
She was really surprised that he could figure it out in just one day.
Jiujiu looked into Mo Yuan's black eyes and smiled. "And then?"
"I want to pursue you and be with you."
After Uncle Li's request, Mo Yuan pondered for the entire night. He finally understood why he rarely dreamed of his sweetheart. Instead, he often dreamed of Jiujiu.
It was because he liked Jiujiu.
When you liked someone, even if you could lie to yourself, when you fell asleep, your dreams would not lie to you.
They would tell you who the person you really liked was.
His dreams clearly told him that the person he liked was Jiujiu.
Jiujiu was already very surprised that Mo Yuan came to apologize to her. Now that she heard Mo Yuan say that he liked her, Jiujiu was not just surprised. She was simply shocked.
Jiujiu looked into Mo Yuan's eyes. She thought for a moment and said, "You said that you like me and want to pursue me and be with me. Can you prove it to me?
Can you prove to me that you are pursuing me and wanting to be with me purely because you like me and not because you still want to use me as a substitute? "
Mo Yuan's lips moved. He wanted to tell Jiujiu that he no longer saw her as a substitute.
But just as the words were about to come out of his mouth, he understood that Jiujiu said this because of what he had done in the past. So, he nodded his head and expressed that he would use his actions to prove it.
He wanted to prove that he really liked Jiujiu and that he did not see Jiujiu as a substitute.
After Mo Yuan confessed his feelings to Jiujiu, he directly left.
After Mo Yuan left, Jiujiu also started to get busy with work.
Mo Yuan appeared to be calm as he left, but in reality, he was panicking in his heart. Especially after he left Jiujiu's place, he became even more panicked because he realized that he had never pursued a woman before.
He told Jiujiu that he wanted to pursue her. But, he had never pursued a woman before. How was he supposed to pursue her?
If he did not know how to pursue a woman, he would ask someone else.
Of course, the 'someone else' in Mo Yuan's eyes was Uncle Li.
After hearing that Mo Yuan wanted to pursue Jiujiu, Uncle Li was overjoyed. So, he began to advise Mo Yuan.
Giving flowers, diamonds, and luxury items were things that most women liked. So, they were naturally not suitable for someone of Jiujiu's status. If Mo Yuan wanted to pursue Jiujiu, he would have to rely on 'catering to her preferences'.
Mo Yuan needed to figure out what Jiujiu liked. Then, he would pursue Jiujiu according to Jiujiu's preferences.
'Catering to her preferences' sounded simple, but it was extremely difficult to put it into practice. Firstly, Mo Yuan really did not know what Jiujiu liked.
In the past, Uncle Li could easily tell what Jiujiu liked. But, after not seeing her for 5 years, it was difficult for him to say it out loud.
This was because humans were creatures that could change, and women could change even faster.
Moreover, Jiujiu had previously told Uncle Li that she wanted to become a dancer. But, as soon as she left the country, she became a designer. Uncle Li really could not guess what Jiujiu liked.
Uncle Li lowered his eyes and thought for a long time. In the end, he secretly came up with an idea. "Master, Cheng Qinyuan seems to have a good relationship with Miss. Why don't you ask Cheng Qinyuan?"
In reality, Cheng Qinyuan and Mo Yuan had been fighting for so many years. In the eyes of outsiders, they were already enemies. But, in reality, the two of them appreciated each other. In fact, they could be considered half good friends.
Hearing Uncle Li mention Cheng Qinyuan, Mo Yuan immediately fell silent. "…"
