Mo Fei’s confession made me speechless for a while. No wonder Liusu would suspect me. ‘You could’ve just answered her call and told her the truth, or you could’ve simply thrown the phone aside and ignored it. Either of these options would have been better than switching my phone off. This would only make Liusu think that I did something.’

I suddenly realized that in some areas, Mo Fei was not a sophisticated person; in fact, she was as naive and as pure as a blank piece of paper.

Mo Fei lowered her head and slowly spun the beer glass on the table. Her fine-skinned slender fingers tinged with ladylike coyness. “I couldn’t sleep last night. Seeing you were okay this morning, I was finally relieved. However, I am still worried that you won’t forgive me…” she said softly.

“You are thinking too much. I did not keep that in mind at all.” I finally understood what she was thinking. No wonder when she saw me in the morning, she was acting strangely. It turned out she was anxious.

“You did not mind? Then why did you give me attitude as soon as you entered the office?” Mo Fei suddenly looked up at me, eyes full of emotions: appreciation, curiosity, anticipation, ridicule, and even tease…

Her gaze put me in an awkward position. I scratched my head and said with an unnatural smile, “I wouldn’t dare to give you attitude…”

“Don’t be ashamed to admit it,” The approval in Mo Fei voice made me feel ashamed. “You should give me attitude, and I also know what you were thinking. Chu Nan, you are a good guy, a foolishly good guy. In the future, you shouldn’t always think of others; you should think of yourself more often. Otherwise, people will take advantage of you.”

If you knew what I was thinking, you probably wouldn’t think that I was a good guy. Frowning, I swallowed the beer, and then used the chopsticks that had not touched the dishes to pick a plate of stir-fried bitter melon and fungus to Mo Fei. “Ms. Mo…”

“This place is not the company. Don’t call me Ms. Mo.” Mo Fei said with a red face. I didn’t know if it was caused by the alcohol or the embarrassment. “If you forgive me, and don’t mind a person like me, please treat me as a friend.”

‘A friend?!’ A huge step suddenly descended before my eyes, making me wonder if it was a gift from god. I couldn’t help raising my head to look for another step that would eventually lead me to become even closer to her.

“You are twenty-three if I remember it correctly?”

“Mhm, I’ll be twenty-four in two months.”

“I’m twenty-five.” Mo Fei was, at least, seventy percent drunk. As a result, she wasn’t just chatty, but she was also very enthusiastic. She even told me her age, which many girls kept secret, or perhaps, it was really because I was safe, and I didn’t hold a grudge against her. “If you don’t mind, in the future, you can call me by my name directly, or call me elder sister Mo or elder sister Fei privately.”

In just a split second, our relationship advanced so rapidly. The huge surprise made me flattered. I couldn’t believe that the woman sitting in front of me at the moment was that beautiful, elegant, and noble general manager of the investment department of Fengchang Corporate group, who was also known for her coldness.

While I was thinking if I had heard something wrong, I didn’t expect that my shocked expression even caused Mo Fei to whimper with tears like a little girl. “You don’t like it?”

“No, no, no…” I quickly said, “elder sister Fei.” I preferred to call her by her name directly, but I was afraid that it would become very awkward later on. Calling her elder sister Mo felt like there was a gap between us. Therefore, I chose to call her by her first name. It was just two words. However, as if it contained infinite magic, it made us feel like we were much closer to each other now.

Mo Fei was so happy that she also picked a few vegetables, and put them on my plate with her drunk eyes. She didn’t even realize that her chopsticks had just been in her little mouth earlier.

‘Thank you, god, for taking care of me. Thank you, alcohol, for confusing her.’
