Chapter 236 Are you chatting with a woman?
Seeing their relentless pursuit of their goal, Gu Huixin felt a surge of fear. Her body grew heavier and heavier, and she collapsed onto the floor as if she had lost her soul.
"Gu Huixin, out of respect for Elder Gu, I'll give you time to think it over, but not for long. I want to hear your answer in ten minutes." In the blink of an eye, Xue Haoqian had already regained the aura that once belonged to the number one family.
Gu Huixin remained silent, her eyes lowered.
……
Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, also known as the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, a day for families to reunite.
Chen Dong's grandmother was still alive, and Su Yuchen wasn't so heartless as to give him a half-month annual leave. Chen Dong gave him his final instructions before leaving.
Every corner was filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year, but the company was unusually deserted.
Su Yuchen had just put down his work when he heard rustling footsteps coming from the corridor.
It's already 8 PM, and you can easily guess who's coming at this hour.
"Yu Chen, I'm here!"
Before seeing him, you hear his voice; who else could it be but Mo Peichen?
Su Yuchen looked up and saw Mo Peichen, carrying a lot of things in both hands, smash the door open with his body.
"How did you come?"
Mo Peichen put down what he was holding on the table, panting heavily.
"How about that? Surprised? Unexpected? You've got someone to keep you company this year!" Mo Peichen raised his eyebrows in a very cool way.
Su Yuchen's gaze fell on the top floor of W International in the distance, and he spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Even if you don't come, I'll have someone to keep me company."
Mo Peichen followed his affectionate gaze and saw the rooftop of W International.
Mo Peichen: "..." He definitely has some problems.
"Alright, alright, stop reminiscing about that person. Does that person look like someone who would stay at the company obediently? They've probably run off somewhere to have fun!" Mo Peichen retorted mercilessly.
Su Yuchen reluctantly withdrew his gaze, shaking his head and chuckling.
Mo Peichen can't see it, but that doesn't mean he can't see it either. He's practically one foot in the path of cultivation, so this little distance is nothing to him.
Mo Peichen didn't know what he was laughing at, so he simply changed the subject.
"Yu Chen, guess what I brought you today?" He said, about to show Su Yu Chen his "trophy".
"I've prepared hot pot and barbecue today, what would you like to eat?"
Su Yuchen glanced at the pot on the table, his brow twitching.
“I don’t eat spicy food,” he said, quite insensitively.
Mo Peichen: "..."
"Hey, the essence of hot pot is eating spicy food. How can you eat it if you don't eat spicy food?"
"I don't eat hot pot."
Mo Peichen was stunned for a moment, then a forced, ugly smile appeared on his lips.
“Okay, if we can’t have hot pot or barbecue, we should at least have some, right? I’ve also prepared a mini oven, let’s bake it on the rooftop.” Mo Peichen’s eyes were filled with excitement.
Su Yuchen rubbed his temples in frustration.
"Mo Peichen, you eat by yourself, I'm not hungry."
Mo Peichen felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head, extinguishing his passion.
"Boring! You're so boring! How can there be such a boring person as you in this world!" Mo Peichen complained as he took out his phone.
Su Yuchen watched him chat with others, occasionally letting out a silly grin.
"Are you chatting with a woman?" Su Yuchen asked directly.
Mo Peichen glanced at him, then lowered his head and continued chatting.
"Are you in charge?"
Since they couldn't see eye to eye, Su Yuchen simply stopped talking to him.
Ten minutes later, he picked up all the ingredients from the table.
"Didn't you say you were going to have dinner with me? Where are you going?"
Su Yuchen usually wouldn't bother asking these questions, but today he felt that Mo Peichen was acting particularly strangely, especially when he was smiling and looking in his direction, which was particularly eerie.
Upon hearing Su Yuchen's question, Mo Peichen's eyes darted away for a moment.
"It's nothing. Don't you not eat hot pot and barbecue? I'll go eat with other people."
Su Yuchen quickly grasped the key point.
"other people?"
"Yeah, I won't tell you, you don't know anyway." With that, Mo Peichen left.
If you look closely, you can even see his shrugging shoulders.
Was he... secretly laughing?
Even with many doubts in his mind, Su Yuchen put them aside, got up, and took a book from the bookshelf.
……
The rooftop of Yonsei International is different from that of W International. There is a room on it specifically for eating, drinking and having fun. It was built by Mo Peichen himself, and I never expected it to come in handy today.
"Here, here, I'm here!" Mo Peichen waved to the figure in the distance from inside the house.
Yun Yao had gone to great lengths to avoid Su Yuchen, but when she saw Mo Peichen and the ingredients under his command, her eyes lit up for a moment.
"Mo Peichen, you're amazing! You actually know how to do this? I'm finally impressed!" Yun Yao picked up the grilled skewers on the table and smelled them; it was exactly the taste she remembered.
"I thought you weren't coming!" Mo Peichen smiled.
"Of all things in the world, only good food should not be missed. Besides, I didn't come empty-handed, look!"
Yun Yao was also carrying two wine jars that looked valuable and had a long history.
Mo Peichen couldn't help but swallow.
"Grandma, is this wine an antique?"
Yun Yao thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook her head.
Seeing this, Mo Peichen breathed a sigh of relief. Although the longer the wine is aged, the better, if it's too old...
Forget about taste, he'd lose his life here!
"This wine was brewed when I was a child."
Mo Peichen suddenly stopped moving.
"When you were a kid?"
"Ah."
Mo Peichen felt a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
"How old are you now?"
"Over ten thousand years old? I don't know either," Yun Yao said very seriously.
Mo Peichen could barely stand, and the lamb skewers in his hand fell to the ground.
"Ancestor, you're over ten thousand years old. You say this wine was brewed when you were a child, so it must be over ten thousand years old? Are you sure it won't kill someone if they drink it?"
Yun Yao: "..." Is this person sick?
"Mo Peichen, are you questioning the professional ethics of a deity?"
"I did not say."
"Don't worry, this wine is absolutely fine. Besides, it was once a royal tribute, something that ordinary people couldn't get their hands on."
……
With delicious food and fine wine in hand, the two were quite happy, the only problem being that the wine was a bit too strong.
After two drinks, Mo Peichen had "gone mad".
The hot pot in front of him was bubbling away, while Mo Peichen had already begun to show off his skills, turning the stereo up to the maximum volume, and then a distorted sound rang out, not a single word out of tune.
Yun Yao held her wine glass and drank alone, watching Mo Peichen gesticulate wildly, a slight smile playing on her lips.
The two of them were happy, but the people downstairs were on the verge of losing control.
Su Yuchen had just turned a page.
"I'll love you even if it kills me—"
He frowned slightly, put down the book, and played some soothing music.
"I am a tiny little bird, wanting to fly and fly—"
The book in his hand slammed shut with a "bang".
Su Yuchen dialed Mo Peichen's number, but he didn't answer the phone even after the mechanical female voice came through.
My home is on the Loess Plateau—
Su Yuchen had reached his limit!
