Stardust in the Moonlight: Little Wildcat, Don't Try to Run Away

Chapter 271 It’s not that I can’t love, but that I don’t care.

"Dad, Grandpa, the child will be in your care for a while." Mo Chen returned to the house and saw his grandfather, Gong Yixunran and Qin Huaiyi in the living room.

Grandpa couldn't help but smile when he saw Mo Chen's hurried look, but he still pretended to be serious on the surface, "Humph! You always have endless things to do!"

Mo Chen hurriedly walked behind his grandfather, bent down, hugged his grandfather, and smiled at him face to face.

Grandpa was stunned for a moment. This was the intimate behavior that Mo Chen only did with him when they were children. Grandpa felt a little sad for a moment.

"Grandpa, do you like Rongyue?"

"Humph! Do you even need to ask? I chose my granddaughter-in-law myself!" Grandpa smiled and touched Mo Chen's face. "Go do what you need to do. Don't disturb us playing with the children!"

Mo Chen tilted his head and looked at his grandfather. "I'm glad you like it. I'll go bring your granddaughter-in-law back!"

"You little brat! You're already a father! And you speak without restraint when you're happy! What a person you are!!" Grandpa turned his head and looked at Mo Chen. Although he blamed him, he was smiling happily.

"Go ahead. Don't worry, I'm here if Xiaoxin can't make up her mind about the company's matters." Gong Yixunran looked at Mo Chen with a smile.

Mo Chen hugged Gong Yi and said, "Thank you, Dad! I will arrange the company's affairs as soon as possible before leaving!"

After saying this, Mo Chen turned around and hurried upstairs to his room.

"You're already so grown up, but you're acting more and more like a kid!" Grandpa smiled and sighed, "That's good, really good."

Gong Yixunran also nodded and smiled as he looked at Xiaoyu and Xiaochu who were playing in the living room.

Qin Huaiyi looked at Mo Chen, his eyes never fell on her for a moment. She was just watching his joy from the sidelines without being affected by it at all. It was the first time she met a man, and because of her joy, she seemed like a completely different person. She was no longer cold and arrogant, nor was she reserved and self-restrained. It seemed that she didn't even care about the politeness that outsiders should maintain. Her whole body was filled with the aura of youth and recklessness. This aura must have been fierce and happy when it hit his sweetheart, but it made her, an outsider, feel lost and hurt.

Assistant Dong watched Mo Chen walk briskly into the office and was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what good news his big boss had encountered today that made him so happy that he couldn't hide it.

It wasn't until Mo Chen sent him a message, told him the destination, asked him to book the earliest flight tomorrow without him having to follow, and gave him two months of paid leave that Assistant Dong was completely overwhelmed by the happiness.

The price he paid for happiness was that Mo Chen arranged all the important things today, without wasting a moment, until late at night.

After the last meeting, only Mo Chen, Li Xin and Xia Xiluo were left in the conference room.

"The rest is left to you." Mo Chen closed the last document, still in high spirits, looking at Li Xin and Xia Xiluo.

"Do you need to be so anxious? Rongyue hasn't even landed yet!" Li Xin looked at Mo Chen helplessly.

"Did she tell you?" Mo Chen looked at Li Xin.

"Yes, she called me before boarding the plane. But Yuyan told me last night, but I just wanted to see when she would tell me in person."

Xia Xiluo watched the two people chatting and had no idea what they were talking about for a moment.

"Then why don't you tell me!" Mo Chen looked at Li Xin in confusion.

"I didn't tell you, you already knew it. What would happen if I told you? At most you and she would leave on the same plane. Don't I know you well enough?"

Li Xin was helpless. "Didn't I tell her to give her some time to relax? Why are you still following her so closely?"

When Mo Chen thought about the two months that Rongyue had promised him today, he couldn't help but smile.

Xia Xiluo looked at Mo Chen who was smiling with his eyes downcast. She already understood what they were talking about.

"One flight? What does that mean? Where are you going?" Xia Xiluo calmed down and looked at Mo Chen with a calm tone.

"Rongyue is going abroad to attend an international artists' exchange conference. He just found out today. Doesn't this mean that all the work has been compressed into one day? Don't you understand? He will leave on the earliest flight tomorrow morning!" Li Xin threw the documents in his hand on the table.

“…She’s going to a meeting and will be back soon. Why are you leaving in such a hurry…” Xia Xiluo looked at Mo Chen.

Mo Chen smiled and looked up at Xia Xiluo. "I've regretted letting her go alone this morning. She said two months... but I can't wait any longer! She can do whatever she wants. I'll just accompany her and won't disturb her."

Xia Xiluo looked at Mo Chen. He was smiling from the bottom of his heart. It was a smile he had not had since his youth. It was filled with urgency and longing, and there was caution in his words. He had never cared so much about anything, so he had always been cold, superior and insolent towards others. However, at this moment, Gong Yi Mo Chen broke all of Xia Xiluo's perceptions of him. As arrogant as he was, he was willing to be a foil to someone. Even if that person resisted him and ignored him, he would still go. How could Gong Yi Mo Chen do such an extremely humble thing?

Xia Xiluo even doubted whether this moment was an illusion or a dream. Why did Gong Yi Mo Chen seem to have become a different person, someone she had never really known?

She didn't want to admit that all these changes in him were because of Nangong Rongyue, because this made her feel even more ridiculous and sad, because when she was with Gong Yi Mochen, Gong Yi Mochen was just the Gong Yi Mochen she knew, cold and distant, treating her well but never overstepping the line, even when she tried hard to have something happen with him, he rejected her one by one. Now it seems that she has never received a single bit of his love and sincerity.

It's not that he doesn't love, he just doesn't love her.

She originally thought that Gong Yimochen only found an object of entertainment in Nangong Rongyue, and that he would get bored and tired of her one day. However, he broke her idea again and again, and even forgave Nangong Rongyue's parents and risked his life for Nangong Rongyue. How could she not be jealous and angry?

Xia Xiluo wanted to cry like crazy at this moment. She wanted to ask him why he treated her like this, why he had to grow up with her, why he couldn't fall in love with her. She didn't ask for much. As long as he loved Nangong Rongyue half as much, she would love him with all her might and feel that she was the happiest woman in the world! Why did he fall in love with someone else! He also let her see a different side of him. Why did he torture her like this! He ruined her feelings!

But she couldn't... it was useless... if she really did that, it would only push Gong Yi Mo Chen further away... no matter what the reason, he would definitely choose Nangong Rongyue and stay away from her... she couldn't make the same mistake again...

Xia Xiluo nodded, "...then...what about Xiaoyi...haven't you been accompanying her recently...you're leaving like this...did you tell her?"

Mo Chen frowned, remembering that he had met Qin Huaiyi at his grandfather's house today, but he had no impression of Qin Huaiyi after meeting Rongyue...

"She... Grandpa should arrange for someone else to accompany her. I was really anxious a while ago. As soon as I calmed down, I wanted to go find Rongyue. I had to find something else to occupy my time. My leaving will not affect her... Grandpa will make the arrangements."

Li Xin kept looking at Xia Xiluo, and he could see every subtle change in her expression. Although she tried to look as calm as possible, her hands were tightly pressing the documents on her legs, and her knuckles were white. He could see it from this angle, but Mo Chen couldn't...

Li Xin thought for a moment and looked at Mo Chen and said leisurely, "Yuyan told me that Xiaoyi, Feng Jingyi and Rongyue chatted for a while yesterday."

"Hmm... I seem to have seen it..." Mo Chen replied calmly.

"Yuyan said... Xiaoyi and Rongyue said... you two have been together recently, and she doesn't care about your past with Rongyue..."

Li Xin said these words, but her eyes were always on Xia Xiluo, because Yuyan angrily told them in detail about the three people, Qin Huaiyi, Feng Jingyi and Xia Xiluo, who came to chat with them last night. She was speaking up for Rongyue! But she also expressed her doubts about Xia Xiluo. Naturally, Li Xin was a little confused. Even if Xia Xiluo was no longer obsessed with Mo Chen, was it necessary for her to match Mo Chen and Qin Huaiyi? And was it necessary to bring him to Rongyue?

Combined with Xia Xiluo’s reaction just now, Li Xin’s brows furrowed even deeper.

Xia Xiluo listened to Li Xin's words and thought about Li Yuyan's cold words to her yesterday. She became even angrier. Why should she, Li Yuyan, help Nangong Rongyue? She was the one who knew Li Yuyan first! But Li Yuyan always got the upper hand in her words! What a stinky girl!

Mo Chen reacted and understood what Li Xin meant. His expression instantly became disgusted, but... he thought about what Rong Yue said to him this morning and suddenly laughed again.
