Appearance and Departure
Appearance and Departure — 34.1

  Yang Yue’s expression could not be described only as surprise. She walked a few steps closer, stared at Shen Mo and said, “Boss, I remember you are single, right?”

  Shen Mo answered implicitly: “It used to be.”

  Just this one sentence was enough for the little girl to develop rich associations.

  ”Ahhh, boss, are you getting married? Or are you already married? Love at first sight in a foreign country? A romantic encounter at the beach? Is it like being in a movie?”

  Shen Mo didn’t answer her, but pointed to a spider web in the corner and said, “Hasn’t it been a long time since you cleaned it? Let’s do a thorough cleaning while we have some free time today.”

  ”Boss, don’t change the subject!” Yang Yue chased over and said, “Is the future boss lady a foreigner? Oh no, my English is so poor, how can I communicate with her in the future?”

  Shen Mo was happy, and felt that the title of “Boss Lady” sounded comfortable, and he almost wanted to praise Yang Yue. Although his relationship with Ji Mingxuan had not been finalized, it was almost certain, and he would introduce him to Yang Yue sooner or later, so he let out a little hint: “Don’t worry, he can speak Chinese.”

  ”That’s good.” Yang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “What does she look like? Does she have a good temper?”

  Shen Mo picked up a broom and started sweeping the floor, with a smile on his face the whole time: “He is a few years older than me, and he is very handsome. As for his temper… everything else is good, except that he is a little proud.”

  Yang Yue immediately imagined a cool and elegant lady, and thought her boss couldn’t handle this type of person. But looking at Shen Mo’s enthusiasm for making money to support his family, she knew he must be addicted.

  “Is the future boss lady good at spending money?”

  ”That should be it.”

  Just looking at the brands of Ji Mingxuan’s clothes, you can tell that they must be expensive. Although he doesn’t need to buy a car or a house now, he is thinking long-term.

  ”And there are also funds for the children’s education…”

  ”Kid?” Yang Yue looked Shen Mo up and down and said, “Boss, you are really fast!”

  Shen Mo knew that she had misunderstood, and said with a smile: “The child is already three years old.”

  ”Is the other person getting married for the second time?”

  ”No, it’s more complicated.”

  Yang Yue nodded: “I understand, I understand.”

  It was just a case of getting pregnant before marriage. The woman worked hard to raise the child alone, and then she finally met the true love of her life – her boss.

  She gave Shen Mo a thumbs up and said, “The boss is such a good man.”

  Shen Mo guessed that her misunderstanding had become even more serious. He knew that he couldn’t explain it clearly in a short time. Anyway, she would know it when they met later. So he didn’t say anything more and concentrated on cleaning.

  Yang Yue imagined a tortuous and beautiful love story on her own, which satisfied her curiosity.

  The afternoon passed quickly.

  In the evening, after Yang Yue got off work, Shen Mo was about to order takeout when he received a call from Ji Mingxuan. Of course, there was nothing important, just casually chatting about daily trivialities, and they chatted for a long time. In the end, Shen Mo’s phone was hot, so he had to hang up the phone.

  Ji Mingxuan had a lot of things to deal with, and it was expected that he would not be able to return to China for another month, so Shen Mo took advantage of this month to get busy. He first drew the pair of rings on paper, and then went to do other things. He ran around all day and was nowhere to be seen. When he rarely returned to the studio, he was busy painting.

  Yang Yue leaned over to see what he was drawing, but Shen Mo didn’t show her.

  A month was too long compared to the few days on the island. After finally waiting for Ji Mingxuan to come back, Shen Mo drove to the airport to pick him up in advance.

  Ji Mingxuan didn’t bring much luggage and walked out of the exit in a dashing manner. Ji Ning didn’t come with him.

  Shen Mo went up to him and asked, “Where’s Xiao Ning?”

  ”Jining is too young. He won’t be able to adapt to the new place, so we’ll bring him over after we’ve settled down here.”

  Shen Mo asked: “Where does Mr. Ji plan to live? Is it still the original villa?”

  Ji Mingxuan was silent for a moment.

  Shen Mo knew that the villa was where Ji Mingxuan and Ji Anan grew up, and living there now would inevitably bring back sad memories, so he asked, “Do you want to go to my place?”

  After hearing this, Ji Mingxuan didn’t even say a word in response. He just shook his hand and said, “Let’s go.”

  Shen Mo followed him wholeheartedly, just like he had done many times before.

  But when they got in the car, Shen Mo still drove. Ji Mingxuan asked him, “Where do you live now?”

  Shen Mo smiled and said, “You’ll know when you get there.”

  He drove all the way to the city center.

  Ji Mingxuan had been abroad for a few years. At first, he only noticed the changes in H City over the years, but later he gradually found this road familiar. He didn’t look at Shen Mo beside him, but looked ahead and asked, “Shen Mo, where are you going?”

  Shen Mo stretched out a hand and shook his, still saying, “We’ll be there soon.”

  There is a residential area in a prime location in the city center, which is quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city and separated from the bustling city by a tree-lined boulevard.

  Shen Mo’s car was heading there.

  Ji Mingxuan’s eyelids twitched, and the hand he held with Shen Mo felt an indescribable warmth. The car slowly stopped, and he had recognized this place – Jinxiu Villa.

  Shen Mo stopped the car, opened the door and said, “Mr. Ji, get out.”

  Ji Mingxuan sat still, his eyes were deep and heavy, he looked at Shen Mo and asked: “Why are you here?”

  ”Mr. Ji, have you forgotten? Although you asked Lawyer Chen to take back the house in Jinxiu Villa, I did not agree at the time, so the key is still in my hands.”

  Ji Mingxuan’s eyes moved and he said, “Well, you still have the key.”

  This time, without waiting for Shen Mo to urge him again, he opened the door and got out of the car.

  After so many years, Jinxiu Villa has not changed much, only the security guards at the door have been replaced. Shen Mo has been going in and out frequently these days, and has become familiar with the security guards. He can enter just by scanning his face.

  The house under Shen Mo’s name was on the seventh floor, so he should have taken the elevator, but he said to Ji Mingxuan: “Mr. Ji, why don’t we take the stairs? I have something to tell you.”

  Ji Mingxuan had no objection.

  The two of them climbed up the stairs, one level at a time.
