He had thought that having his identity exposed in the news would make him somewhat displeased, but he didn’t expect him to still be in the mood to joke.
"Alright, it’s okay, go to rest early." Yuan Chengmo stretched out a hand and gently patted Munni’s head.
Munni nodded, "Then you should also rest early, Senior."
After Munni turned and went back to her room, Yuan Chengmo closed the door, and in that instant, the gentle smile that was on his face disappeared.
He walked to the bed and glanced at the phone that had been ringing for a long time, hesitated for a moment, and still picked it up to answer the call.
"Cheng Mo, you come back immediately now!" On the other end of the line came his brother Yuan Chenghe’s angry voice.
Yuan Chengmo walked to the bay window, sat cross-legged, looked at the quiet night outside, and shook his head, "I’m not coming back."
"What exactly are you thinking! Today the news is causing a huge stir, and the family has already received numerous calls from the media."
"You can handle these things well."
Yuan Chengmo’s indifferent tone made Yuan Chenghe feel a sense of powerlessness, like punching into cotton.
"Listen to me, if you’re not back by noon tomorrow, I’ll personally go to Munni’s house and bring you back."
Yuan Chenghe’s threat had no effect on Yuan Chengmo at all, "Oh, then I will move out of Munni’s house before noon tomorrow."
"That’s perfect, then I can have a good chat with Munni." The last five words were almost squeezed out through Yuan Chenghe’s teeth.
Yuan Chengmo rubbed his slightly aching temples, "Brother, don’t make a fuss."
"Cheng Mo, the family has always supported any decision you make. But not this time, you can be with any woman, but not Munni!"
Yuan Chenghe replied without hesitation, "Because she’s Xu Yisen’s ex-wife!"
On this end, Yuan Chengmo suddenly pursed his lips without making any reply.
The other end of the call fell into a sudden silence, making Yuan Chenghe feel an unbearable heartache. He softened his tone and spoke earnestly, "Cheng Mo, I know you really like Munni.
But you have to understand, the Yuan Family is a century-old family, always low-key. If you insist on pursuing Munni, what kind of waves will it cause, and what awkward situation will it put the family in?
Come back, if you still can’t forget, you can go abroad like before, with time, you will surely forget."
Yuan Chenghe’s voice drifted through the phone into Yuan Chengmo’s ears, like a gust of wind, leaving him a bit lost.
The brother who once couldn’t bear to let him go and opposed him going abroad, now actually suggested he go abroad.
"Brother, I’m a bit tired, let’s talk tomorrow." After saying this, he hung up the phone.
On Christmas day, while originally playing with Munni in Rongyun Town, Yuan Chengmo suddenly received a call from Yuan Chenghe, saying there was an emergency at home, so he quickly returned home.
After arriving home, he found out that the so-called emergency was nothing more than the rumors stirred by the tweet Munni posted, and the family hoped he would keep his distance from her.
After that, every day he was given various reasons to go to the company or was forced to go on blind dates.
The reason the family disapproved of his pursuit of Munni, he understood better than anyone, but... even with all the opposition, he couldn’t help but want to get closer to Munni.
At three in the morning, Munni was awakened by the ringing of the phone.
She reached out to pick up the phone on the bedside table, but by then the caller had already hung up, and there was no caller ID on the missed call.
