Chapter 696 A guess in heart

“I’m sorry, but I can’t go. I feel dizzy today and couldn’t even handle my work. I plan to go home and have a good sleep.” Gu Yan was now picking vegetables from the stall while answering Qi Changfeng’s questions. Although she felt that there was nothing shameful going on between her and Qi Changfeng, she had already promised Li Yunhong that she would do her best to avoid such social interactions with him.

Since Li Yunhong had her worries, Gu Yan decided not to offend her. Furthermore, it seemed that Li Yunhong was not the only one who was worried. Even Mo Yichen was a little suspicious of her, too. As such, even though Gu Yan felt that she was upright and was not afraid of the false accusation, it was best not to do such a thing at this time.

Qi Changfeng had guessed that Gu Yan would turn him down, but he still felt a little unhappy after hearing her refusal. This kind of unintentional rejection from her had hurt his heart over and over again.

But he didn’t say anything more. After all, the only reason he had called was to confirm whether or not she was fine. Thinking of her look yesterday, he couldn’t help being worried. He was sure that something had happened between Mo Yichen and her, but he didn’t know what it truly was.

Since Gu Yan had chosen to be with Mo Yichen, he had to keep a distance from her. Once he crossed the line, he would hurt two of his friends. He knew that he wasn’t able to bear the consequences.

Since Gu Yan said she was fine and was just having a headache, he didn’t have any other reason to say anything. He just told Gu Yan to properly rest and then said goodbye.

Gu Yan did not think too much about it. After buying enough food for herself, she left the market. She carried a lot of things and sweated, but the sweat made her feel a little refreshed. The market was very close to her residence, so she chose to walk home instead of taking a taxi.

When she returned home, her stomach churned again at the thought of the cooking smell that would appear later. She had bought a lot of things, but she had already lost her appetite. So she just simply cooked a pot of porridge and started to eat.

Although it was a light meal, she still recovered some vitality after having some porridge, and no longer felt weak as she did in the morning.

After meal, she went to take a shower. After drying her hair, she curled up on the sofa and started watching a movie. Since she could not focus on the work in the studio today, she would just put the work out of her mind for the moment and relax completely.

Although she wanted to relax, the things about Mo Yichen kept entering her mind. She looked at her watch and found that she had already watched a movie for a few hours. It was getting dark now, but it was not too late yet to call Mo Xiangyan. She had promised that she would call him every day.

However, she was hesitating about whether she should call the mansion of the Mo’s family or call Mo Yichen’s cell phone. Staring at her phone silently for a long time, she input Mo Yichen’s number, but then she deleted these figures one by one after thinking for a while. She was now wondering if Mo Yichen had believed in Li Yunhong’s words.

If that was the case, she just did not know how to face him.

At least for now, she did not know what she should say to him. In the end, she dialed the number of the Mo’s family, because she felt that it was much easier to face Li Yunhong than Mo Yichen now.

She knew that Mo Yichen was mostly not at home at this time, so she guessed that it would be Mo Xiangyan or Li Yunhong answering the phone. Unexpectedly, Mo Yichen’s voice came from the other end of the line.

“Hello?” His voice was very magnetic and Gu Yan could tell it was him immediately. For a moment, she was stunned and at a loss for words.

“Hello?” Mo Yichen heard no response and repeated impatiently.

Everything had not been going well recently, so he was even annoyed by a call.

Before answering the phone, he did not look at the number, so he did not know it was Gu Yan at all. If he knew that, he would not have picked up the phone. Recently, he had indeed been heartbroken because of Gu Yan. Now, just like her, he was trying to avoid her as much as possible.

“Yichen, it’s me.”

Gu Yan had no choice but to speak because she could hear the impatience in Mo Yichen’s voice. If she still remained silent, Mo Yichen would probably hang up in the next second. In that case, she had no idea if she would have the courage to call him again.

Mo Yichen was stunned when he heard Gu Yan’s voice. He did not know what to say and both of them fell silent awkwardly. No one uttered a word.

“Daddy, who is it? Is it Aunt Yan?” Mo Xiangyan asked at this time.

He had just taken a shower, so he hadn’t heard his phone ringing. Now that he had come out of the bathroom and saw his father holding the phone, he naturally remembered that Gu Yan had told him yesterday that she would call him every day.

Therefore, he assumed that it must be her.

Mo Yichen nodded. He was glad that Mo Xiangyan showed up now. Mo Xiangyan exclaimed with excitement and snatched the phone from his hand. He heaved a sigh of relief.

Hearing Mo Xiangyan’s cheering, Gu Yan also let out a sigh of relief. But at the same time, she felt disappointed. Deep in her heart, she still hoped that Mo Yichen would say something to her. But he said nothing, which confirmed her guess.

It turned out that he did have been affected by what Li Yunhong had said at the dinner table that day. And just like Li Yunhong, he was also suspicious of her.

Thinking of this, Gu Yan could not help feeling a little depressed, but she still forced herself to talk to Mo Xiangyan happily. Usually, calling Mo Xiangyan was the happiest moment of the day for her, but now, with other thoughts in her mind, this happiness was greatly reduced.
