Jun Chulin, “…”
Tang Hai’s facial expression completely changed, and he hurriedly gave Tang Mo’er a swift kick under the table.
Tang Mo’er looked at Jun Chulin and suddenly smiled. “Young Master Jun, I was just joking with you. Did you believe me? Ha, I’m pretty humorous right, hahahahaha.”
Tang Hai, “…”
Jun Chulin stirred the coffee placed in front of him with a small spoon before raising his brow. “I can’t seem to catch Miss Tang’s humorous ways. I’m afraid I’ve misunderstood your words as corny jokes.”
Corny jokes?
“…” The corner of Tang Mo’er’s lips twitched.
Tang Hai instantly tried to change the topic. If it continued any further, Tang Mo’er would ruin the entire blind date.
Tang Hai managed to change the topic and started talking to Jun Chulin about politics. At this, Tang Mo’er couldn’t hold it in further and wanted to leave, but two bright rays of light permeated through the glass windows. A Rolls-Royce Phantom came into her line of sight.
The car door opened and Gu Mohan alighted.
Tang Mo’er instantly found it hard to breathe.
Why was he here?
Was he already discharged from the hospital?
Sporting a green v-neck sweater paired with tailored black trousers and a black coat, Gu Mohan was as good looking as ever. He didn’t enter the hotel, but continued to lean against the car in a lazy manner as he took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket. Lowering his head slightly, he lit up a cigarette.
He was just discharged from the hospital and his fringe covered his deep, enchanting eyes when he lowered his head. The night breeze complemented his languid pose and he seemed rather cold in the dark mist.
Although he stood facing in her direction, Tang Mo’er couldn’t tell whether he was looking at her or not. She could only feel his deep and narrow eyes fixated on her through the frosty air.
Very quickly, he held a cigarette in one hand and his other large palm was in his trouser pocket, searching for his cell phone.
Ding. Tang Mo’er’s phone sounded.
Her heart almost skipped a beat at the timing. Clicking open the message, she saw that it was from Gu Mohan, containing two wordsーCome out.
Come out.
He wanted her to come out.
“Mo’er, Mo’er, what’s the matter, why are you in a daze?” Tang Hai asked.
Tang Mo’er instantly got herself together and chanced a look at Jun Chulin. Jun Chulin was taking a sip of coffee elegantly and his gaze landed on her, it was gentle and harmless.
“Oh, I’m fine.” Tang Mo’er replied inattentively.
Tang Hai questioned her, seemingly concerned, “Mo’er, are you feeling unwell?”
Jun Chulin observed Tang Mo’er without making a sound. As an important figure in the political circles, he was incredibly observant and his gentle eyes were filled with astuteness. This woman was giving off a quirky and interesting vibe, but she didn’t seem to be engaged in the blind date. It was clear she wasn’t really interested in him.
But… In a matter of seconds, she had suddenly transformed into another person, instantly quietening down and blinking her eyes. In that split second, her eyes were full of emotion and he could see a series of complicated feelings flash past her face.
Who had caused her to become so impassioned, and then so distracted?
Jun Chulin looked outside through the glistening French window and saw the man standing outside.
He was too striking not be noticed, not to mention, he owned a prestigious, limited edition car. With his cold aura, no one would be able to take their eyes off of him.
Ah.
Jun Chulin lightly raised the corner of his lips. So it was the Capital’s wealthiest and most successful businessman, Gu Mohan.
The young master of the Gu family.
A few decades ago, the Lu’s and the Gu’s were on par, holding the positions of the Capital’s wealthiest and most influential families. However, Lu Jinwen was an innate genius, especially when compared to the average Gu Tianling. As time passed, the disparity between the two families only continued to grow and the Gu family was fully dependent on Old Master Gu to maintain its eminent prestige.
But the best laid plans of men often go awry. Out of the blue, Lu Jinwen suddenly vanished and Gu Mohan appeared out of nowhere, glimmering like a polished pearl. From then, this man used less than a decade to restore the Gu family back to its former glory as the most successful and wealthiest family in the Capital.
