Chapter 688 Make up his mind

But what could Qi Changfeng do? Gu Yan had already said that she was very happy. There was sadness in her eyes today but Qi Changfeng could only pretend that he didn’t see it.

He was just her friend now. Friends were not qualified to ask such things.

“Come on! I’ll take you home.” After Qi Changfeng spoke, he wanted to send Gu Yan home but when he looked back, she had already disappeared from his sight. Qi Changfeng shook his head helplessly. It seemed that Gu Yan was really drunk today.

When Gu Yan heard what Qi Changfeng said, she nodded and walked away into the darkness. She didn’t want to go home yet, and she didn’t want Qi Changfeng to drive her either. The atmosphere would be too depressing in the car and the drive would also make the distance to her home even shorter.

Gu Yan knew that even if she did not deliberately think about Mo Yichen right now, but once she got home, she would flood in her thoughts.

Gu Yan knew that she would definitely think of Mo Yichen. The furnishings in her home and the empty bed would remind her of him during those moments when she closed her eyes. Gu Yan didn’t want to return home yet and didn’t want to immerse herself so quickly into the sea of longing.

Qi Changfeng could not drive Gu Yan home as she wanted to walk, so he accompanied her. He felt that the route to her home was too short to allow him more time with Gu Yan.

The weather was still a little chilly. Gu Yan was wearing light clothes, so Qi Changfeng was worried that she might catch a cold. But would Gu Yan be obedient and follow his advice? Qi Changfeng could not do anything but only walk with her quietly.

Walking outside helped to keep one sober and sensible and at least at such a moment, it stopped one from drowning in the bitter sea of longing.

Qi Changfeng watched Gu Yan going ahead and walking into the night. He shook his head and had no choice but to follow her. As Gu Yan was now in such a state, how could Qi Changfeng feel comfortable letting her go home by herself? Qi Changfeng took two quick steps and followed Gu Yan. Her steps were a little unsteady and Qi Changfeng was worried when he saw that.

Qi Changfeng wanted to stretch out his hand to help Gu Yan but he knew that when he did that, it felt like he was doing an injustice to Mo Yichen. Since he decided to play fair with him, he would not do that.

Moreover, Qi Changfeng loved Gu Yan and he respected her. Since such a thing might create a problem for Gu Yan, Qi Changfeng was sure that he would never do it.

The two people walked side by side and even this warmed Qi Changfeng’s heart. As long as he was with Gu Yan, even as a friend, Qi Changfeng would be happy, so he would not do anything that might make him lose Gu Yan’s friendship.

It was a long road, but as the two walked on, they soon arrived at Gu Yan’s house in a short while. Qi Changfeng knew that Gu Yan was alone and if he followed her upstairs at that time and was seen by someone, things would be hard to explain.

“I’ve sent you to your doorstep. Now you can go upstairs on your own.” Walking to the door, Qi Changfeng stopped and started talking. He had not spoken for some time and his voice was a little hoarse.

Gu Yan wanted to invite him upstairs but then she thought of Li Yunhong and Mo Yichen’s suspicions about Qi Changfeng and herself, so she swallowed her words.

“So, how are you going to return home? Would you like to take my car?” After walking in the cold biting wind, Gu Yan had sobered up and blamed herself for acting rashly. She insisted on walking home. Now how would Qi Changfeng get a car? Gu Yan had some regrets about her capriciousness.

However, Gu Yan did not feel too much regret. If it weren’t for Qi Changfeng sending her home today and allowing her to be capricious for a moment, the knot in her heart would have remained unraveled. She would still be suffocating now, and it would only get worse when she returned home.

Instead of taking a taxi, Qi Changfeng could just take her car. Anyway, when she went downstairs, she had the car keys with her. Her studio was not far away. If she had to go to work, she would only need to get up a little early and take a taxi.

“I’m a man. What’s there to be worried about? Just go upstairs. I’ll text you when I get home. Don’t worry.” Qi Changfeng did not intend to take Gu Yan’s car, although he indeed wanted to see her again when he returned the car. But Gu Yan had to go to work, and if he took her car away, it would be difficult for her to do that, and Qi Changfeng didn’t want to cause any trouble for Gu Yan.

Seeing Gu Yan opening her mouth, Changfeng knew that she was about to start nagging again, so without waiting for her to say anything more, he turned his head and walked away and gave her a backward wave.

Qi Changfeng walked for a short distance, then he dialed his assistant’s phone number and asked him to drive over to pick him up. Why did the night without Gu Yan feel like it was even colder? Qi Changfeng sighed in his heart, but then immediately realized that he was having nonsensical thoughts.

He felt funny and stopped thinking about it.

Since Qi Changfeng had already left, Gu Yan watched his back disappear from view before she turned around and slowly went upstairs. It was not as if she could escape anyway, so she had to face it and go upstairs.

Gu Yan came to the door and opened it without hesitation. Compared to the Mo family, Gu Yan felt that this place was, on the contrary, homelier and she had beautiful memories of it.

It was not that the Mo family home was not good, but compared to the Mo family, Gu Yan felt that in this place, there was a greater sense of belonging. Every piece of furniture was designed by Gu Yan herself. Thinking about every single event that had taken place here, Gu Yan felt very happy and satisfied.

Gu Yan snuggled down onto the sofa and hugged a pillow. When she thought about all the funny things that happened here, she couldn’t help chuckling. There were lots of happy memories of Mo Yichen. Even if she had the chance to start anew, Gu Yan would choose Mo Yichen without any hesitation; yes, she would definitely choose him.

Gu Yan seemed to see Mo Yichen’s idle look when he nestled on the sofa watching soap operas. She thought of Mo Yichen panicking in the kitchen, lying in the bedroom, and messing around with a mouthful of toothpaste with her in the bathroom.
