Everything happened too suddenly. One moment, she was thinking that it would be another two years before she saw him again. The next moment, he appeared and carried her home.
But, she was in bliss!
Gu Qingyao cocked her head and looked at him. Mo Beihan was sound asleep. After three years apart, he still looked the way she remembered him, except his expression was fiercer. Although she had seen him in his prime, at the moment, she could still identify the little ways in which he had changed.
She was awake, but this fellow was so exhausted he was sound asleep. His stamina was not as good as hers!
Gu Qingyao pursed her lips. She was ravenous, but her heart sang with joy.
She slowly got up and had a nice hot bath. Then she put on clean pajamas, took some hot food from her interspace and had a meal. Gu Qingyao stretched. She ached all over.
This was her first experience. She felt almost unable to bear it.
When she returned to the bedroom, Mo Beihan was still sleeping. She was not very sleepy, but she was still very tired. She felt lethargic. The sun had not yet risen, so she got back into bed.
The moment she sat down, Mo Beihan awoke.
“Are you awake?” asked Gu Qingyao.
Mo Beihan opened his eyes and looked at the girl sitting next to him. He immediately smiled, his expression content!
He got up and took her into his arms. He sniffed and discovered that the girl had already bathed.
“You smell wonderful!”
Gu Qingyao rolled her eyes.
Mo Beihan raised his brows. “Looks like you’re quite strong! I can’t tell that you’re tired. If I had known, I wouldn’t have let you off!”
Gu Qingyao immediately blushed. “You… what do you mean you let me off? I… I’m already awake, but you were still sound asleep. Clearly, you’re the unfit one!”
Mo Beihan smiled and leaned against the headboard as he hugged her. “I’m exhausted. It was a rush to leave the country. For the past few days, I’ve been making arrangements for the Mo family, the children and especially my mother. I had to settle everything properly, or I won’t be able to stop worrying. I won’t be going back for a year or two.
“I’ve been so busy that I’ve barely slept. Then on the plane here to see you, I was too excited to sleep. When I found you, we spent so much time together before I slept!”
Gu Qingyao was stunned by his words. “You won’t be back for a year or two? You… why are you here? Aren’t you leaving?”
Mo Beihan stroked her head with a smile. “I’m like you. I’m here to study. I’ll only go back after I graduate.”
Gu Qingyao’s eyes immediately widened. “Stu-study? You… have you resigned from your job in China?”
Mo Beihan said, “I’ve resigned!”
This was too great a shock for Gu Qingyao. She had never imagined that Mo Beihan would abandon the path he had taken in his previous life. That had been a broad and prosperous path that had completely changed Mo Beihan’s life and his social status. It transformed him from an ordinary country boy to the Master of the Mo family. He spent his life as a powerful and important man!
He was extremely intelligent and exceptionally capable. After his rebirth, with his previous life’s experience, he would be even more successful. But now he was telling her that he was giving it all up?
“Brother Beihan, are you crazy? It’s such a good path, why would you give it up? Also, if you give it up, what will happen to the Mo family? Old Master and Old Mistress won’t let you go.”
Mo Beihan raised his brows and laughed. “Who said I’m leaving? If I leave my job in China, does that mean I’m giving up the Mo family? Do you think your husband has no other path in life besides the one he took in his previous life?”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
