To avoid arousing their suspicions, she left with only a few small, inconspicuous items. But those things were all imbued with Gu Yixuan’s scent.
Seeing them, she could recall how Gu Yixuan looked when he drank water, when he shaved, and how homely he appeared at home, wearing slippers.
In fact, every one of his looks, every one of his actions, had long been etched into her mind; she didn’t need other things to reminisce.
But she still wanted to keep more things that belonged to him, as if by doing so, he felt very close, still right by her side.

Time, swift like a flowing river, quickly passed, and another two or three months went by.
Summer had fully arrived, and W City had entered the scorching heat of the season, a walk outside felt almost like being melted.
During this time, Mo Yan found herself an easy clerical job that paid two or three thousand a month, which was enough to cover her usual expenses.
Mo Ran, however, started working at ’Night Charm’.
The old her would never have considered working there, but to glean more information about Gu Yixuan, she made the choice to go. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
The patrons of ’Night Charm’ were almost all wealthy people, well-informed, knowing a little more than others, and perhaps from their conversations, she could learn something.
As it turned out, Mo Ran’s decision was the right one.
While working at ’Night Charm,’ intentionally or not, she indeed heard many people discussing Gu Yixuan.
Some said he might truly be dead, others said he hadn’t completely recovered and would probably reappear in a few months, and some said, he had grown indifferent to the cutthroat business rivalries and had decided to live an incognito life of simplicity.
Though these were just other people’s speculations, to Mo Ran, they sounded very real. No matter the conjecture, she wouldn’t miss out.
As long as she could hear a bit of news about him, it would give her some peace of mind, a feeling that he was still alive in this world.
Mo Ran had also fantasized that working at Night Charm, she might one day run into Gu Yixuan.
But after several months of waiting, he never showed up, and instead, she encountered someone she had not expected to meet.
She was delivering drinks to a luxurious private room when she walked in and saw that man. He was dressed in a pristine white shirt, sleeves neatly rolled up, deep in conversation with someone.
In every move, he still exuded his handsomeness and elegance, and he was the same as before, with a smile that carried a warm tone.
