Chapter 75 - Unclear affection

Everyone in the quiet studio was as busy as usual in the morning and the sound of pencil rustling on the design drawings could be heard clearly.

“Gu Yan? Where is Gu Yan?”

Suddenly, a familiar and clear voice broke the silence in the studio. The staff could guess from the voice that Manla was coming.

“Oh, sister Manla, why are you so excited early in the morning.” Yuan Xi yawned and went to the entrance to greet Manla.

The figure of Manla captured Yuan Xi’s eyes.

Manla dressed up like a sexy superwoman in a red dress and a red lipstick, which made her sexier, and her pretty neckline was more beautiful against her short hair.

“Ho, why do you dress up so sexily?” Yuan Xi asked jokingly.

“I talked to a client last night and finally got the project. I heard some shocking news and rushed here without changing my clothes. Well, I don’t have time to talk with you. Where is Gu Yan?”

Manla waved her hand impatiently and walked to Gu Yan’s office in her ten centimeters’ high heeled shoes.

Hearing that someone was coming, Gu Yan sat up and then she saw Manla.

“Why not tell me that you were in trouble? If I didn’t hear of it from others, I wouldn’t know that.” Manla complained while taking her shoes off.

She was relieved after seeing that Gu Yan was safe.

Seeing that Manla dressed up differently today, Gu Yan was surprised and then understood that Manla rushed here directly without changing her clothes. Gu Yan was moved and stepped forward to hug Manla who smelt of tobacco and alcohol.

“Sorry to have you worried about me.”

Manla hugged Gu Yan as well.

“Hey, you also know that I worry about you. Remember to tell me next time. You should take your phone all the time and call me first if you are in trouble. Do you understand?”

“Okay, okay, sit down here. You didn’t sleep the whole night.” Gu Yan held Manla on the sofa and then handed her a cup of hot water.

“I am extremely tired, but I was thankful that I got the project.” Manla said.

“That’s good.” Gu Yan replied.

Noticing that Gu Yan was in silent, Manla knew that something upset her.

“What’s wrong? Did Wen Yunfeng, that bastard, hurt you? I feel that you are unhappy.”

Gu Yan smiled reluctantly and said, “It’s not because of him. Manla, I want to tell you something.”

“That is... Mo Xiangyan, the child of Mo Yichen, is also my son.”

“What?”

Hearing the shocking news, Manla was no longer sleepy and raised her voice greatly.

Gu Yan motioned her not to speak so loudly.

“How did you know?” Manla asked.

“I didn’t know until Wen Yunfeng told me carelessly that night when he was in anger. And before that, Mo Yichen also invited me to attend the banquet of Xiangyan.”

Gu Yan was a little confused.

“You mean that Mo Yichen knows you are the mother of the child, but he still allows you to meet the child.” Manla confirmed it again.

“Yeah.” Gu Yan nodded heavily and looked forward to Manla’s analysis.

Manla took a sip of water and after a moment of contemplation, she said, “I think Mo Yichen probably likes you.”

“Oh, no!”

Gu Yan denied without thinking. In fact, her mind was full of the scenes that she and Mo Yichen were together.

Mo Yichen sent messages to her every day and although he was in a different city, he met her with various deliberate reasons, not to mention that he saved her many times.

“Why do you deny? Think carefully about how Mo Yichen treated you before. And when did you see that he treated others so friendly?”

Manla knew that Gu Yan would subconsciously deny that Mo Yichen liked her because Gu Yan was afraid of being harmed again.

“I don’t know what to do now. You know, he asked me yesterday if I wanted to live with him, which was just like a dream. If those girls who like him know that I live with Mo Yichen, they will kill me.”

Gu Yan joked and waved her hands, “Forget it. I don’t dare to live with him.”

Manla couldn’t help but laughing and thought, “Gu Yan is not as negative as before and can slowly adjust her mentality.”

“Actually, you like Mo Yichen, don’t you?”

After laughing, Manla suddenly looked at Gu Yan’s eyes seriously.

She was Gu Yan’s girlfriend and could know what Gu Yan was thinking.

“I...” Gu Yan didn’t know how to answer.

“You and Mo Yichen have a son, but this means nothing. My only advice to you is to follow your heart and don’t be a person you hate because of the child.”

Manla was the person who knew Gu Yan most.

Now, since Gu Yan knew that Xiangyan was her child, she would endeavor to meet him more and wouldn’t refuse even if Mo Yichen required her to live with him.

“You know what I am thinking.” Gu Yan lowered her head and smiled bitterly. The hot water in her hand had become cold.

“Yeah, I conclude from the marriage between you and Wen Yunfeng and really can’t bear to see you making the same mistake.”

“Don’t worry, Manla. I know that it is unfair to Mo Yichen if we get married only because of the child and we won’t be happy in the future. He was extremely serious when he told me that he would protect me in the future, but the more serious he was, the more I was afraid.”

“Now that you know, I am relieved.” Then Manla put on the spared clothes of Gu Yan.

“Don’t mind. I’m so tired that I must put on your clothes.” Manla changed her clothes and lay on the sofa.

Soon Manla was asleep soundly without taking off her make-up.

Seeing that Manla was asleep, Gu Yan smiled gently and thought, “I am so lucky to have a considerate girlfriend after all that misery.”

Gu Yan covered Manla gently with a blanket and stood by the window in a daze.

Mo Yichen had entered her heart quietly.
