Chapter Eighty-Eight: Don't Be Afraid, I'm Here

When the hot pot is served, the side dishes are arranged, and it really has a little taste.

Mo Ran tasted a mouthful of red boiled fish balls, and the spicy feeling spread in her mouth, and her tears were forced out at once.

Nangong Xin looked at Mo Ran's red-faced appearance, and sneered mercilessly: "Mo Ran, are you okay?" Is it true that you can't eat spicy food? ”

Not really.

Because Gu Mou's taste is relatively light, Mo Ran has never had any opinion on what to eat, so Aunt Li will give priority to Gu Mou's taste every time she cooks, and Mo Ran has been eating for a long time, and she has no resistance to this spicy food at all.

However, although the fish balls are very spicy, the spicy aroma also makes Mo Ran feel a little surprised.

So she drank water and ate hot pot until she was sweating profusely and her lips were red and bright, as if she had put on lipstick.

Nangong Xin's reaction is not very strong, she likes to eat spicy food, and the place where she went to school when she was a child was also in Chengdu, so her reaction is completely different from Mo Ran, but she likes it very much.

When the three of them were about to eat, Gu Mou made a phone call.

Mo Ran looked at the familiar two words on the phone, and was stunned for a long time, and when Nangong Xin looked at it suspiciously, she hurriedly ran outside the hot pot restaurant to answer the phone.

"Hey, Gu Mou?" Mo Ran didn't quite understand why Gu Mou came to call her at this time, according to Chen Hai, Gu Mou is simply a busy person now, and he doesn't even eat at home often now.

After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, Gu Mou's voice came faintly: "Where are you?" ”

Mo Ran was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm eating out with my friends." ”

There was a long silence on the other end of the line.

Just when Mo Ran thought that Gu Mou was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly said, "Dad wants to see you in the afternoon." ”

"See me?" Mo Ran said in surprise: "If I'm not mistaken, didn't he travel abroad a few days ago?" ”

"At the airport, because the weather has not been stable for a period of time, the boarding time has been postponed." Gu Mou said lightly, "You said you're at the hot pot restaurant now, right?" Send me the location on WeChat, and I'll go to you. ”

Mo Ran pursed his lips and said, "...... Good. ”

Originally, after saying this, Gu Mou should have hung up the phone. But Mo Ran waited for a long time, but she still didn't hear the cold "tick" sound, and she didn't dare to hang up the phone, so she held a mobile phone, like a little fool, standing at the door of the hot pot restaurant in a daze.

I don't know how long it took to call, and there was a subtle sound of fabric rubbing on the other end of the phone, and then, Gu Mou's voice also came, lazy, and rare with a bit of comfort: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

After saying this, he hung up the phone.

Mo Ran was stunned at the door of the hot pot restaurant.

She thought blankly: "Why would Gu Mou know that I was afraid of my father...... I never told him, and I never did

I've never shown this in front of him. ”

Mo Ran couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time, and finally gave up thinking completely, and after sending his positioning to Gu Mou, he returned to the hot pot restaurant.

The three of them sat together chatting and eating, and after about dozens of minutes, they left the hot pot restaurant together.

When Mo Ran and Nangong Xin walked out of the hot pot restaurant together, a brand-new Cadillac appeared in front of the three of them.

Nangong Xin's eyes lit up, and she said, "Oh my God, the latest Cadillac?" How could they stop here, hahahaha, do these rich people still come to eat this kind of hot pot? ”【… iQiwen.i7wx. &... Better, newer, faster]

Mo Ran opened his mouth to say something, and the window glass of the car slowly rolled down, and then a handsome face appeared in Mo Ran's field of vision.

Gu Mou's beautiful eyes swept over the three people standing next to the car, and finally fell on the woman in the middle, I don't know why, when I saw her lips and cheeks that had become rosy because of eating hot pot, a shallow smile flashed under Gu Mou's eyes.

"Get in the car." He said briefly to Mo Ran.

Mo Ran nodded, and then said to the two of them under Nangong Xin's stunned gaze: "Then, I'll go first?" Nangong, can we have a chance to come out to eat together in the future? ”

"W-What?" Nangong Xin's eyes widened, staring at Mo Ran up and down for a while, and then he said in surprise: "Mo Ran, this car is here to pick you up?" ”

Mo Ran didn't quite understand why Nangong Xin showed such a surprised expression, but he still honestly admitted: "Yes." ”

Nangong Xin's eyes on Mo Ran completely changed, her expression suddenly became a little complicated, and after looking back and forth between Mo Ran and Gu Mou up and down a few times, she reluctantly said, "Oh...... It turns out to be like this, that, goodbye, we can have a chance to eat together in the future. ”

Mo Ran smiled, then turned and got into the car.

And Luo Weiqing was stunned when he saw Gu Mou for the first time.

He looked at Gu Mou blankly, and the expression on his face was also very complicated.

However, Gu Mou's attention was all on Mo Ran's body, and he had no time to pay attention to inconsequential people, so he didn't notice Luo Weiqing's face that made Mo Ran slightly stunned when he saw it.

After Mo Ran got into the car, he immediately asked, "Can I go home and change my clothes first?" I should have a strong hot pot smell on my body......"

Gu Mou nodded, didn't say anything, closed the window and started the car.

Ten minutes later, Mo Ran got out of the car and entered Gu's house.

Because she was going to meet Gu Tianyin, Mo Ran was still a little nervous, after she finished choosing her clothes, she thought for a while, and then painted herself a light makeup, and then hurriedly went downstairs.

Gu Mou sat downstairs in the restaurant to deal with his own affairs, and after hearing the footsteps downstairs, he looked up at Mo Ran, and then said, "You don't have to be so nervous, I said it, I'm here." ”

Modyed

After a pause, she looked at Gu Mou's slightly indifferent expression as always, and suddenly felt a hot current surging into her heart.

She nodded, then whispered, "I know." ”

After changing clothes from Gu's house, Gu Mou took Mo Ran to the head office of the Gu Group.

People here come and go busily, but when they see Gu Mou coming, they always stop and say hello in a proper manner.

From time to time, someone would whisper in the back after saying hello to Gu Mou and watching the two of them leave.

Mo Ran was a little uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything, Gu Mou looked at her slightly frowned eyebrows, then turned his head and glanced at the two people coldly.

The whispering stopped abruptly, and the two men quickly withdrew their gaze, and then left in a huff.

Gu Mou walked into the office with Mo Ran, and Mo Ran saw the man sitting on the sofa in the office at a glance, reading carefully.

I haven't seen him for a while, and Gu Tianyin looks a lot older than before. The gray hair on his temples made the wrinkles on his face particularly conspicuous, but despite this, the aura of the elite did not decrease by half a point.

After seeing Gu Tianyin, Mo Ran's footsteps subconsciously paused.

Gu Mou quietly stood in front of Mo Ran, and then said, "Dad." ”

Gu Tianyin's action of turning the page paused, he slowly removed his gaze from the book, and then landed on Gu Mou's body.

When he saw the petite figure behind Gu Mou, Gu Tianyin's face suddenly showed a faint smile, and he said, "Mo Ran, how old are you, why are you still so shy?" ”

“…… Father. Mo Ran walked out from behind Gu Mou and said in a low voice.

Gu Tianyin looked at Mo Ran's beautiful face and laughed, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Gu Mou frowned, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Good." Gu Tianyin said kindly: "It's been a long time since we last met, I don't know how you are doing with your Uncle Ning for a while, if you encounter any difficulties or grievances, you must tell me, you know?" We who take care of our family have never been bullied. ”

Mo Ran nodded, and said obediently: "I work very well on Uncle Ning's side, and no one will make it difficult for me." It's just that I didn't get used to it at first, but it should be fine later. ”

Gu Tianyin looked at Mo Ran's well-behaved appearance with a smile, nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Actually, I called you over now because I want to ask you something." ”

Gu Mou's uneasy premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, he looked at his father with a smile on his face, and said slowly: "Just tonight, one of my partners held a drinking party, which means that I want you young juniors to get together, and then have a good chat and get to know each other, after all, this future still belongs to you young people." ”

Mo Ran was stunned for a moment, raised his head and asked in surprise, "Drinking party?" Me? ”

Gu Tian

Silver smiled: "Yes, you kid, why do you look so surprised?" Don't you want to go to this drinking party? ”

Mo Ran shook his head again and again: "No...... I just feel like I'm not ready. ”

"What's not to prepare for this, it's just that a few of our families get together for a meal in private, Mo Ran, you don't have to be nervous." Gu Tianyin's face still had a kind look, and he continued: "Besides, you are already an adult now, and you should have your own social circle. This is not a bad thing for you or for the Gu family. I know you've been a cold personality since you were a child, but that was when you were a child, and you had to face the world and this society after all, understand? ”

Gu Tianyin was right.
