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

Chapter 236 All Collided

"I told her at the beginning that I would not develop any relationship with her other than friendship. Even if I divorced Rongyue, I would not be with her. As for the matter between me and the Nangong family, I don't need to explain it to her. It has nothing to do with her. She just thinks that I didn't let Nangong Jianing and Nangong Lingan go because of my mother's death. Besides, I didn't tell anyone about my plan except you."

Mo Chen said calmly and indifferently.

"You think so, but I think Xiluo hasn't given up on you yet! She has been by your side for the past three years, and now you are back to be with Rongyue. Have you ever thought about Xiluo's feelings? You can't always be so cruel to her."

"There is one more thing. I also know that Xiluo is different from her mother, but Qin Yuejun is her mother after all. But I really feel towards Qin Yuejun..." Mo Chen frowned and shook his head.

Li Xin looked at Mo Chen's slightly disgusted expression and said, "Parents who love their children will have long-term plans for them, especially a family like the Xia family, who are neither here nor there. Of course, they hope to move up a level through their children's marriages. We already know what kind of person she is. There's no need to let her affect Xi Luo."

"Besides, if these people hadn't muddied the waters at the time, would Rongyue have been able to break away from you psychologically so quickly?"

As soon as Li Xin finished speaking, Mo Chen raised his hand to support his forehead.

Li Xin looked at Mo Chen's rather melancholy expression and chuckled, "You are asking for trouble! You should think carefully about how to explain all this to Rong Yue!"

Mo Chen covered his head and remained silent for a moment, then put down his hands helplessly.

"Tonight, let's have a meal together. It's a good opportunity for Xiluo and I to have a chat. She will feel much better if you're here with her."

Li Xin looked at Mo Chen speechlessly. "Do I fucking owe you anything? How come all your women are inseparable from me?"

Mo Chen smiled and said, "I only have Rongyue as my woman, and I won't trouble you to take care of her for long."

"As for Xiluo, isn't she your friend too? I really hope she can figure it out and have her own life, but I have tried both soft and hard methods, and she still hasn't changed. So, isn't it your duty to do your part for your friend's happiness and let her wake up as soon as possible?" Mo Chen clasped the document in his hand.

Li Xin looked at Mo Chen in shock and said, "...I think the most important thing for me to do is to stay away from you. Do you think I don't have enough to do?"

"I'm not going to have dinner with you. I have to pick up my daughter and son from school tonight!"

Li Xin stood up.

Mo Chen smiled and looked at Li Xin, "That's not a conflict!"

Li Xin looked at Mo Chen with disdain and was about to leave.

"Take this and sign it." Mo Chen looked at Li Xin's expression and smiled before throwing the document in his hand to Li Xin.

Li Xin picked up the document and flipped it open. The more he read, the more shocked he became. He looked at Mo Chen and said, "How did you get this land? The ownership of this land is so complicated. My grandfather used so many connections to get it but still couldn't get it."

"You don't have to worry about this. Anyway, this piece of land will only belong to you, Li Xin, from now on. As for how you want to use it and for whom you want to use it, it's up to you." Mo Chen regained his composure and looked through the documents on the desk again.

Li Xin looked at Mo Chen. This guy Mo Chen always quietly solved the problems when the Li family encountered difficulties, and then pushed all the credit to him, Li Xin. The reason why a junior like him in the Li family could be almost on the same level as those uncles, or even have a higher status, was because Mo Chen paved the way for him time and time again.

"Thank you." Li Xin raised the document in his hand.

"No need." Mo Chen signed the document in his hand seriously.

"Why are you still standing there? Isn't Mr. Li busy today?" Mo Chen raised his eyes and glanced at Li Xin who was still looking at him.

Li Xin smiled and left the office.

Mo Chen also smiled and lowered his head to continue looking at the documents in his hand.

… …

Rongyue walked into the lecture hall and sat down in the corner of the last row. This seat was hidden and close to the door, so she could just stand up and leave.

Rongyue sat down and looked at the people in front of her. Everyone was sitting in the first few rows. It was always like this, especially the seats in the first row, which were the most sought-after because the senior executives of Gongyi Group who were giving speeches today would be sitting there. Being able to get in touch with them was one of the purposes of attending this kind of course.

As soon as Rongyue sat down, she saw a group of people walking into the lecture hall. They were all from Gongyi Group, and all of them were smart and confident elites. The teacher greeted them warmly, and everyone else looked at these people coming in with great energy.

Rongyue's eyes lit up when she saw one of them. It was Xiaohai. The fact that he could now represent the Ministry of Commerce to attend such events proved that he was no longer in an ordinary position.

When Xiao Hai saw Rong Yue, his calm and serious expression immediately turned into a smile.

Rongyue looked at Xiaohai and smiled. Confidence and ability are really the best nourishment for a man. Xiaohai has completely lost his student-like look and now looks like an elite, calm and noble.

Several representatives from Gongyi Group gave speeches. At the end, the teacher came on stage and said that there was an unexpected surprise today, because Gongyi Group’s president Gongyi Mochen would be able to meet and chat with everyone, so the students should seize the opportunity to ask more questions and learn more.

As soon as the teacher finished speaking, Gong Yimo Chen walked in calmly from the door and went up to the podium.

The thunderous applause continued.

Rongyue looked at Gong Yimochen walking up to the podium, and suddenly the scene in her mind went back to three years ago, when she was by his side. Every time she saw him standing on the podium and talking, she would be fascinated by his every move, his words, and even his tone and expression.

This man had a magical attraction. Whenever he appeared, Rongyue felt as if everything was cooperating with him, making it impossible to take her eyes off him.

Rong Yue leaned on her head and shook her head, her eyes fixed on Mo Chen but seemed to be unfocused. In Mo Chen's eyes, she looked exactly the same as when she used to be distracted from time to time when she was with him. Mo Chen knew that she was reminiscing about their past, which was a good thing for him.

In fact, Mo Chen had arrived at the lecture hall a long time ago, but he did not come in. Instead, he stood outside and watched Rongyue. He found that she only listened carefully when Xiaohai was speaking. When there were other people around, she would lower her head and either write something or draw on the notebook in front of her.

Looking at Rongyue's typical poor student listening behavior, Mo Chen couldn't help laughing in his heart, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

The look on Gong Yi Mo Chen's face almost made the assistants and passers-by drop their jaws in surprise, because they hadn't seen him smile for a long time. Although Gong Yi Mo Chen was not in the company in the past few years, they were on high alert every time he came back, because it meant a meeting to report on work. Everyone in the company from top to bottom, except Li Xin, was nervous and afraid of making any mistakes.

So everyone was curious about what their stern and cold president saw that made him show such a gentle and doting expression!

Even Mo Chen's assistant couldn't help but walk a little closer to the lecture hall and looked at the people inside along the direction of Mo Chen's gaze, because he was really curious about who the big boss, who always kept a distance from others and didn't like women and even chose a man for his assistant, could look at like this.

It was not until the teacher in the lecture hall mentioned Gong Yi Mochen's name that Gong Yi Mochen turned around, gave his assistant a look, and walked into the lecture hall. The assistant took a breath and hurriedly followed Gong Yi Mochen.

Rongyue came back to her senses and found that she was a little dazed when she saw Mo Chen. She kept overlapping him with the already blurred scenes in her memory again and again, so that she didn't remember anything Mo Chen said at all. She only noticed his voice, which was low and magnetic, and his tone was very calm and gentle, refreshing.

Rongyue felt a little annoyed with herself for a moment, not understanding why she still had so many strange feelings towards Gong Yi Mo Chen. How come when she saw the long-forgotten images in her mind, her feelings surged out uncontrollably?

Rongyue stared down at the notebook in front of her, not knowing when the picture in front of her became messy.

Mo Chen was answering other people's questions on the stage, and his eyes were occasionally on Rongyue. He saw her lower her head, her brows slightly furrowed, and her fair little face did not look very happy. Her hands were drawing back and forth on the notebook without any order.

Mo Chen paused for a moment, which caused his classmates to whisper among themselves, wondering why Mo Chen stopped.

Rongyue saw everyone's reactions and looked up at Mo Chen on the stage. She hadn't even put away her annoyed expression. She was just looking at him angrily with a puffed face. She looked so soft and cute.

Mo Chen looked at Rong Yue's appearance and couldn't help but chuckle. It didn't matter that the people in the audience were stunned, and the infatuated ones started to become infatuated with her.

“…I’m sorry everyone. This is the first time I see someone have this kind of expression in response to my speech. Classmate, are you dissatisfied with what I said? It’s okay. We can communicate.” Mo Chen looked at Rong Yue with a smile. His tone was gentle, unlike the cold and official tone just now. Instead, it was mixed with some playfulness.

Everyone's eyes followed Mo Chen to Rong Yue.

Rongyue was awakened by everyone's gazes. She looked at everyone else and then at Mo Chen who was smiling gently on the stage. She quickly shook her head.

"That's good." Mo Chen looked at Rongyue's blushing face, and his heart felt like it was filled with honey. Rongyue always touched him like this.

Three years and thousands of photos were not as vivid as the few moments she appeared in front of him on that day.

After the speech, the teacher returned to the stage to make closing remarks.

Meijia and Taomei sat next to Rongyue.

"Why are you here?" Rongyue was surprised and happy.

"Are your babies going to kindergarten today? This is their first-school present!"

Meijia and Taomei stuffed the things in their hands into Rongyue's arms.

Rongyue looked at two large bags full of gift boxes.

"What are you doing? Why are you giving them gifts again? You guys are almost moving the toy store into my house!"

"We have an agreement with the babies that you are just a passer! Don't have so many opinions!" Meijia smiled.

"You all pamper them too much! Don't spoil them." Rongyue was helpless.

"They don't need a little love from us two aunts! Don't worry about it!" Tao Meir looked at Rongyue with a smile.

The meeting has adjourned.

Xiao Hai walked up to Rong Yue and asked, "Don't you have to substitute for a class at school this afternoon?"

Rongyue stood up and said, "Yes! I have to attend the Artists Association's dinner with Teacher Xu tonight."

"Then how can you carry so many things?" Xiao Hai frowned.

"You've been so busy this day. We thought you'd be back in the office soon, so we gave you the things."

"Why don't we just take you home some other day."

Tao Mei'er and Meijia were talking.

"Goodbye, I'll take it away. I'm going to your house to see the children tonight." Xiao Hai took the bag from Rongyue's arms.

"Then I'll have to trouble our Director Gu!"

Rongyue listened to Meijia's words and looked at Xiaohai, "You were promoted to director? Why didn't you tell us?"

"What's so special about this?" Xiao Hai said calmly, taking all the things. "You guys can chat, I'll be busy now, see you in the evening."

After Xiao Hai finished speaking, he smiled and left with his things.

"The youngest business unit director in the Ministry of Commerce! How could I not win the heart of such a man?" Tao Meir looked at Xiao Hai's back with a peach blossom face.

"Don't just think about it! Just go and get it! I see you every day but I've never seen you do anything!" Meijia looked at Tao Meir with disgust.

Rongyue smiled and said, "You've fallen in love with someone else? You don't have a crush on the boss anymore?"

Tao Mei'er looked mysterious and profound. "No, no! The position of the company's president is too high, I can't even dream of it! But the boss still ranks first in my heart, and Director Gu is second! After all, he's just a younger brother and still young!"

"No wonder you can't get her, you are thinking about so many men at the same time! And the rankings! You are a playboy!" Meijia knocked Tao Meir's head.

The three of them walked towards the elevator while talking, and Mika pressed the button on the high-rise elevator that was about to close.

When the elevator opened, the three of them were stunned for a moment, because Gong Yi Mo Chen and his assistant were standing in the elevator.

"Mr. Palace!"

Meijia and Taomei hurriedly called for help.

"You go first! We'll wait for the next one."

The two people said the same thing almost at the same time, and they both took a step forward tacitly to stand in front of Rongyue.

Originally, Rongyue was fine, but after they did this, she felt a little embarrassed.

"Come up, let's go together." Gong Yi Mo Chen said and took a small step back.

When the assistant heard Mo Chen's words, the finger that was on the closing button quickly pressed the opening button.

Meijia and Tao Meir looked at each other, and did not dare to refuse Gong Yi Mochen again, so they had to bite the bullet and pull Rongyue into the elevator.

The elevator fell into deathly silence; Meijia and Taomeier didn't even dare to breathe.

Rongyue looked back at Mo Chen. She saw Mo Chen chuckled at her, so she smiled back.

Then, she saw Meijia and Taomei staring at her with expressions of fear, shock and embarrassment. Their bodies and expressions were stiff and they dared not move. Only their eyeballs were still relatively active, which made Rongyue laugh.

Looking at Rongyue's smile, the two of them were completely stunned.

Just then, an even more embarrassing scene occurred. The elevator door opened and Xia Xiluo appeared at the elevator entrance.

Tao Mei'er and Meijia were completely petrified and forgot to even call out for help. They wished they could turn into two huge rocks and just sink the elevator.

When Xia Xiluo saw Rongyue, Rongyue was smiling happily. And when he saw Nangong Rongyue again, she could be so calm, which really made Xia Xiluo feel puzzled and surprised.

What surprised Xia Xiluo even more was Mo Chen behind Meijia and Tao Meir. His gaze fell on Nangong Rongyue, with a gentle smile in his eyes and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, which made her feel a little painful in her heart.

Mo Chen retracted his gaze and looked at Xia Xiluo, and at the same time retracted his smile. He took another step back, leaned casually on the elevator handrail, then lowered his eyes and no longer looked at anyone.

Xia Xiluo hadn't seen Mo Chen's expression for a long time. She looked at Nangong Rongyue, who had put away his smile and was staring at her, and found that there was only confusion and strangeness in Nangong Rongyue's eyes.

"Mr. Xia!" Mo Chen's assistant spoke first, breaking the awkward situation in the elevator.

Xia Xiluo came back to his senses and walked into the elevator.

"Mr. Xia."

Tao Mei'er and Meijia both stepped aside to make way for Xia Xiluo, and Xia Xiluo walked to stand beside Mo Chen.

Mo Chen just glanced at Xia Xiluo and then looked away, without a trace of smile on his face.

Xia Xiluo even thought that it might be an illusion, because she hadn't seen Mo Chen so comfortable and casual for a long time. In the past few years, he lived like a robot, repeating the same work step by step every day, and being cold and distant to people. She just thought that he was hurt by Nangong Rongyue, and she accompanied him carefully in the hope that one day she could warm him up.

She knew that Mo Chen was dealing with the Nangong family's affairs. Mo Chen never told her about the Nangong family's affairs, but she knew a thing or two. She knew how dangerous the situation he was facing was, but she knew she couldn't persuade him. Sometimes she felt that he was like a very tight string, afraid that someone would break it immediately if he plucked it lightly. She didn't dare to add to his troubles, and only hoped that one day when everything was settled, Mo Chen would see her.

Although Mo Chen had explained to her countless times that their relationship could never be anything more than friendship, no matter how cold Mo Chen treated her, she felt that as long as she stayed by his side and occupied this position, there would always be a day when she would soften him.

What she didn't expect was that she met Nangong Rongyue again under such circumstances. She thought that there was no possibility between Mo Chen and Nangong Rongyue. Mo Chen had always been polite, distant, and indifferent to people like a fake person for so long. But just now he was smiling, and his posture was relaxed and comfortable.

It was hard for her not to attribute his change to Nangong Rongyue who appeared at the same time.

Xia Xiluo frowned and looked at Nangong Rongyue's back, feeling uneasy. This familiar feeling made her feel cold.

The elevator stopped at the top floor.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Li Xin at the elevator entrance.

Li Xin smiled when he saw Rongyue. "Why did you come up so soon? I think it's about time, so I was just about to go downstairs to look for you."
