On the evening of the Lantern Festival, Xiaoxiao and her mother went to the supermarket to buy things. Although spring had begun, the temperature in early spring was still very low. If it was not for the Lantern Festival, they would not have gone out to get cold.
The big trees on both sides of the road are hung with colorful lanterns, and the big parks and small parks are even more colorful. There is a dazzling light everywhere your eyes go.
There is a square in front of the supermarket with various lights for people to watch. It is very lively.
"Mom, it's so cold. Let's go back quickly. We've almost bought all the things. There won't be enough to buy next time."
"Okay, you've got everything."
"I'm carrying it, and I haven't left anything behind." Xiaoxiao pulled the scarf around her neck. It must be very cold outside, "Mom, why don't we go join in the fun."
Wang Lihua looked at the dark crowd in the square, "Oh, no, I'm afraid I can't get in, so let's go home quickly."
With that said, the mother and daughter carried shopping bags and walked towards the gate of the mall.
Above the underground supermarket is a large shopping mall. There is everything you want, and there are many people. You can basically pass each other in every aisle.
Xiaoxiao stopped as she walked, staring at the door.
"What's wrong?" Wang Lihua followed her daughter's dull eyes and said, "Hey, this isn't"
Yes, the man wearing a maroon down jacket is Mo Yiyang. Xiaoxiao has never seen him dressed as casually as he is now. It turns out that besides the black woolen coat, he also has other clothes.
"Xiaoxiao, is this Director Mo? Why do I look so similar and different at the same time? Director Mo doesn't seem to be that young."
"It's him." Xiaoxiao said lightly.
¡°Perhaps it¡¯s the clothes or the people around him that make him look much younger and more relaxed than when he was at work.
The girl next to him wears a rose-red woolen hat, a white down jacket, the collar and sleeves are covered with fluffy snow-white rabbit fur, and underneath is a short pleated skirt with black pantyhose underneath. , the hem of her skirt swayed back and forth as she walked, which looked very beautiful.
She held Mo Yiyang's arm tightly, stamped her feet, and said with a smile, "It's so cold."
Xiaoxiao looked at them from a distance. They were so perfect for each other. The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was petite and sweet. People passing by couldn't help but look at them more.
Wang Lihua looked at Mo Yiyang and then at Xiao Xiao. Her daughter was hers. She could see the discomfort in her daughter's heart at a glance, "Xiao Xiao, let's go to that door. There are many people here."
Just as she was about to leave, Mo Yiyang's eyes also fell on her. Xiaoxiao was very uncomfortable. She didn't want him to notice the pain in her heart, but she couldn't smile with him generously and naturally. She just stood there stiffly. Stand still.
Mo Yiyang stared at her blankly. He unconsciously shrank back from the arm held by Zhao Qianwen. He didn't want Xiaoxiao to have any misunderstanding.
"Brother Yiyang, there are a lot of people in the mall. Let's go to a place with fewer people over there" Zhao Qianwen saw that he was looking forward motionless, and she turned to follow his eyes, "Brother Yiyang , met an acquaintance."
Mo Yiyang nodded, "Yes, from the Information Department."
"Isn't that your subordinate?"
"She is not under my control."
"Everyone in the Information Department is your subordinate. Come on, go over and say hello to your subordinates." Zhao Qianwen pulled Mo Yiang over.
Their eyes met, and embarrassment was inevitable. Mo Yiyang smiled dryly and greeted them, "Hello, aunt."
Wang Lihua could only smile and said politely: "Hello, Director Mo, I went out to watch the lanterns with my girlfriend."
Mo Yiyang couldn't agree, but Zhao Qianwen on the side was still leaning on Mo Yiyang, as if she was looking forward to his answer.
Xiaoxiao silently pushed her mother with her elbow. Wang Lihua pushed her back and said, "It's a good time to come out for the Lantern Festival. Look outside, it's so lively. It's all young people like you. Director Mo, my Xiaoxiao Xiao was injured and hospitalized last year. Thanks to you for taking care of her. I must thank you. Why don't you have a meal with me when you are free? Of course, I will also invite your beautiful girlfriend."
Mo Yiyang quickly retreated, "No, no, Auntie, you're welcome, there's no need to go to such trouble, really."
Zhao Qianwen looked at them quietly from the side, with a pair of shallow pear dimples showing at the corners of her mouth. She was very well-behaved. She said, "You have said so much, brother Yiyang, but you haven't introduced me yet."
"Oh, let me introduce to you. This is Comrade Gu Xiaoxiao from the Propaganda Department. This is her mother This is Zhao Qianwen, who is¡¡±
"Hey." Before Mo Yiyang finished speaking, Zhao Qianwen interrupted herself. She stepped forward and introduced herself, "Hello, my name is Zhao Qianwen. Our family is a family friend of Brother Yiyang's family. I am not his yet. Girlfriend, but I won¡¯t know about it in the future.¡±
A very cheerful, confident, and lovable girl. Not only Gu Xiaoxiao, but also Wang Lihua also admired her, "Haha, Director Mo, you are so lucky, what a good girl, that's it, I Just wait until you are free to treat you to dinner one day, but don¡¯t let Auntie go.¡±
"Auntie, you really don't need it."
"If you want what you want, then you can take your time shopping. Those of us who have big bags and small bags will go back first." After Wang Lihua finished speaking, she pushed her daughter, "Xiao Xiao, let's go."
"Hey, Auntie, there's really no need" Mo Yiyang was helpless. Xiaoxiao didn't say anything from beginning to end. If this meal was a formal meeting with his parents, he would definitely be very happy. He thought, now The misunderstanding must have become serious, and it would be easy to explain while eating.
Zhao Qianwen looked at Mo Yiyang's annoyed look and shook his arm, "Hey, they're gone, don't look at them."
Mo Yiyang turned back, but his mood was obviously not as good as before. Zhao Qianwen paid attention to everything about him. She saw something strange in his eyes, "Brother, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. Aren't you going to buy skin care products? Where are you? Where are you going?"
The more Mo Yiyang pretended to be nonchalant, the more suspicious Zhao Qianwen became. She asked suspiciously: "I heard my mother say before that you kept running to the hospital during those days, was it because of this Gu Xiaoxiao? What did she get?" The illness requires hospitalization, but I think she is fine now."
Mo Yiyang put his hands in his trouser pockets and pointed at the products on the counter, "Hey, this is on sale, you can stock up on more."
"Brother, I am asking you seriously, please answer me quickly."
"Her foot was injured, but she's fine now."
"that's all."
"That's it, stop asking, or I'll fall out with you." Mo Yiyang walked forward quickly. He hated being asked if he had these things. He didn't need to explain anything to anyone, unless he cared. people.
Zhao Qianwen was stunned for a while. Mo Yiang had already walked three meters away. He turned back and said, "If you don't want to go shopping, I will take you back."
"Go shopping, of course you have to go shopping." She stepped forward and took his arm again, "Go over there, there are less people."
Zhao Qianwen is a smart girl, and Mo Yiyang's abnormality is definitely not groundless. Logically speaking, it is normal for subordinates to say hello or something when they see their boss, but Gu Xiaoxiao just ignored Mo Yiyang at all. Yang, this is wrong.
She dared to bet that there must be something going on between Mo Yiyang and this Gu Xiaoxiao.
Time flies by day by day. Mo Yiyang has social activities almost every day and cannot spare time to have dinner with Wang Lihua. In the new year, there may be some changes in work, so he is very busy.
The Information Department is very large, so there are very few opportunities to meet Gu Xiaoxiao. Even when we didn¡¯t know each other before, we never met her even once.
When he was free, he really wanted to call her and ask her what her answer was. He was still waiting, but after a second thought, he gave up. He always thought of her sad look when she was pushed out of the emergency room. Tears, as well as her usual avoidant eyes and actions, he felt that calling again was unnecessary.
Zhao Qianwen studied jewelry design in the UK. She only came back a year ago, so she has not found a job yet. She often comes to the Information Department to see Mo Yiyang, either bringing some snacks or coming over to wait for him to get off work.
In the office of the Propaganda Department, Feng Zhen came hurriedly with documents. As soon as she sat down, she pushed her chair towards Xiaoxiao and slid over, "Xiaoxiao, let me tell you a secret, our Mo Si Chief, you are in love with the daughter of Director Zhao of XX Department, the same Director Zhao who was invited to dinner by Director Mo years ago. You have also seen him."
"Oh, yeah, that's good." Xiaoxiao just paused and continued typing on the keyboard, but what she typed was a series of typos.
Feng Zhen continued: "I also heard that they knew each other before. Before Miss Zhao went abroad, the two got close. Now that Miss Zhao has returned from studying abroad, she must be rushing to get married. Director Mo's confidentiality work must be done It's really nice, either it won't be made public, and once it is made public, we will almost be invited to a wedding banquet Oh no, Director Mo is getting married, so it won't be our turn to have a wedding banquet, ugh."
"Xiaoxiao, why do you think people like Miss Zhao have such a good life? They are born into such a family and don't have to worry about anything. It's not like us. Alas, comparing people to each other is so annoying."
Tie Jun at the next table couldn't help but come over to gossip, "I also heard that Miss Zhao is a great beauty., is a whole round younger than our director. The director is also blessed with good fortune, high position, and has a lovely wife by his side. What else do you want in this life? "
Xiaoxiao felt like there were two flies buzzing around her, "I said, if you want to gossip, go to the tea room. I'm giving a report right now."
"Haha, Xiaoxiao, tell us the truth, are you feeling very disappointed?"
"I, I have nothing to be disappointed about."
"Tie Jun and I always thought that the director was interested in you, but we were wrong."
"Well, you got it wrong. How could he be interested in me? He has such a beautiful girlfriend." Xiaoxiao said mockingly, "Let's break up. I'm really busy. You all have finished your work." ¡±
Tie Jun returned to his seat, and Feng Zhen also left dejectedly.
It was okay at first, but as time went by, Xiaoxiao's heart hurt more and more. Every time she took a breath, her heart stung a little. She was not afraid of being left out, let alone being chosen, but when she wanted to accept him After being left behind after her confession, she felt so painful in her heart.
