Now the room was extraordinarily quiet. Li Yunhong sat dully on the sofa, gazing at the ceiling. She was shivering slightly when she thought of Mo Yichen’s words.

In the dim light, the clock was ticking. The nanny was jittery, standing beside Li Yunhong. She was hesitating whether to say something to comfort Li Yunhong.

“My Lady, don’t take it personally. Master was just pissed off at that moment, so he said those words. Young people are always unable to control their emotions. When he grows older, he will understand you.”

“He gets one-track mind. The more I say, the angrier he is. I’m afraid that he will be fooled by the vicious woman Gu Yan!” Li Yunhong pointed at the door and said disappointedly. Her body was shivering lightly.

“My Lady, take it easy. In my opinion, Master is a wise man who can distinguish right from wrong, so it won’t take him long to figure it out!”

The nanny frowned and moved her dry lips. The moment when she just wanted to add something, Li Yunhong stood up, so she had to stop and supported Li Yunhong.

“Alas… Sooner or later, he will drive me crazy. Why can’t he pick someone else? Any girl is better than Gu Yan. She is a woman of no scruples. Why can’t Yichen see through her?”

Li Yunhong was angrier and her voice was louder. The whole room echoed with her voice and heavy footsteps.

…

Getting out of Mo’s Mansion, Mo Yichen frowned and looked straight ahead with his glassy eyes. He dialed Gu Yan’s number over and over again while he was driving.

However, Gu Yan did not answer the phone. Mo Yichen was more and more anxious, staring at the screen tightly. “Come on. Gu Yan, pick it up. Pick it up…” Mo Yichen murmured. He was distressed.

Mo Yichen slammed the brakes on. The impact smacked Mo Yichen into the steering wheel. Immediately, his forehead became red and swollen, but he didn’t feel painful because he was so eager to see Gu Yan.

Driving on the road, Mo Yichen got a bad feeling which grew stronger and stronger. He was getting more and more restless.

Misfortunes never came singly. Every time when he came to the intersection, it was always the red light there, which made him so angry.

Mo Yichen broke down, cursing everything and hitting the steering wheel with his fists…

After about half an hour, Mo Yichen finally arrived at the community where Gu Yan lived. He parked the car and looked up at her windows.

The light was not on and he just saw the darkness…

Mo Yichen ran into the community, ignoring the security guard’s inquiry. He repeated Gu Yan’s name over and over again quietly while he was climbing the stairs. Drops of sweat slid down his cheeks and fell to the ground.

Mo Yichen was worn out when he arrived at the 12th floor, his leg muscles twitching. He felt helpless and fearful. These senses were strange to him.

Mo Yichen wiped off the sweat from his forehead, knocking on the door heavily. However, the door was closed tightly and no one answered.

“Gu Yan, I’m Yichen… I’m Yichen…”

He put his ear to the door tightly. He could only hear nothing but his heavy breaths and heartbeats.

He knocked on the door harder and harder. Moreover, he started to yell and shout, hysterically calling Gu Yan’s name over and over again.

“Are you crazy? What is the hell wrong with you? It’s midnight…”

“That is annoying. Why does this man yell at night? Couldn’t he consider other people’s feelings? That is too much!”

“It seems that he has quarreled with her girlfriend. Why do young people act so impulsively nowadays?”

The neighbors looked on passively, making judgments and scolding Mo Yichen. Finally, Mo Yichen had to stop and apologized to everyone. He squatted down and leaned on the door, looking embarrassed and depressed.

At this moment, he felt so incompetent that he couldn’t think of any way to change the situation. His mind went blank and was in a whirl.

It was true that he was an idiot in love.

“Boy, are you looking for a girl called Gu Yan…”

He looked up at the middle-aged woman with his tearful eyes. The woman dressed simply and looked very kind.

Mo Yichen stood up immediately, cleared his throat and replied softly, “Yes. How are you, madam? Do you know her?” He asked eagerly. Mo Yichen thought there might still be a ray of hope.

“Yes, I know her. She is a kind-hearted girl who always chatted with me and helped me do what she could. She did that because she knew I am always alone at home and my children live in another place. She was afraid that I would get bored.”

“Do you know where she is now?” He asked eagerly.

“She moved away a few days ago. Don’t you know?” The woman glanced at Mo Yichen with confusion and continued to say, “I heard that she owed a lot of money, and the debtors asked for the money almost every day. Fortunately, there was a woman coming to her and helping Gu Yan pay off her debts.”

“Do you know where she moved to?” Mo Yichen asked anxiously. The woman was surprised. She stopped for a second and then she knew why he was so worried.

“A few days ago, she told me that she was going to leave. I asked where she would go, but she didn’t say it specifically. I remembered that she just said she couldn’t bear to stay here anymore. To tell the truth, I could see she was a little reluctant to leave…”

Mo Yichen was lost in thought and now he was more disappointed and sadder than before. Looking at Mo Yichen, the woman put a mysterious smile and said, “Young man, go find her if you still love her. Don’t do anything you regret while you are young. If you miss the one you love, you may never make up for it…”

Looking at the middle-aged woman’s receding figure, Mo Yichen had a feeling that he couldn’t express. He had no idea what happened and why Gu Yan left, but all he knew was that he would find her and take her back.

He swore to himself that he would figure this out and let the evil backstage manipulator receive his or her due punishment.
