It was another early morning, and the studio was as busy as usual. The sound of pencils rustling on the design drawings could be heard clearly in the quiet space.
"Gu Yan? Where is Gu Yan?"
Suddenly, a familiar and clear voice broke the silence in the studio. You didn't need to look to know who it was.
"Oh, Sister Manla, why are you so energetic this morning?" Yuan Xi yawned and walked to the door to greet Manla.
The person who appeared in front of her almost blinded her.
A sexy red slim-fitting dress outlines her curvy figure more and more clearly. Her smart short hair shows off the woman's beautiful neck line. Her mouth is still the familiar bright red, making her look like a sexy strong woman.
"Hey, what's going on with your outfit?" Yuan Xi was not polite and asked jokingly.
"I was with a client last night and finally got the case. I didn't even have time to change my clothes. I heard some news and rushed over. Okay, stop talking nonsense with me and tell me that Gu Yan is here. where."
Manla waved her hands impatiently and stepped on the ten-centimeter-high hat to enter Gu Yan's office.
Gu Yan heard the noise and was about to get up to check when she saw Manla's figure.
"You woman, why didn't you tell me something happened? If I hadn't heard some rumors, how long would you have planned to hide it from me?" Manla came in cursing and took off his shoes.
Seeing that Gu Yan was safe and sound, I felt relieved.
When Gu Yan saw her look, she was stunned for a moment, then her heart warmed up, and she quickly stepped forward and hugged Manla, who smelled of tobacco and alcohol.
"sorry that I had you worried."
Manla paused and hugged her back.
"Hey, you still know that I'm worried. Don't hide it from me next time. Keep your phone with you at all times. If anything happens, call me as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
"Okay, okay, come here and sit down. You haven't had any rest all night." Gu Yan pulled her to sit on the sofa, and then handed her a glass of hot water.
"I'm exhausted, but fortunately, the business is settled."
"That's good."
Manla noticed Gu Yan's silence and knew from the look on her face that she had something on her mind.
"How's it going? That beast Wen Yunfeng didn't do anything to you, right? I think you're in a bad state."
Gu Yan smiled forcefully: "It's not him, Manla, there is something I want to tell you."
"That's... Mo Yichen's child, Mo Xiangyan, you know, he is also my son."
"What?!"
Upon hearing the news, Manla's voice rose two degrees, and the exciting news made her sleepiness disappear.
Gu Yan quickly gave her a sign of silence.
"How did you know?"
"That night, Wen Yunfeng spilled the beans in a hurry, and I found out. Before that, Mo Yichen invited me to attend Xiangyan's introduction meeting."
A series of things made Gu Yan a little confused.
"Mo Yichen knows that you are the mother of the child, and he still wants you two to meet?" Manla thought she had understood it wrong and reconfirmed it.
"Yes." Gu Yan nodded seriously, expecting her to analyze it for him.
Manla took a sip of hot water to moisten her throat, thought for a moment, and finally spoke: "I think there is a high probability that Mo Yichen likes you."
"Oh no!"
Gu Yan blurted it out without even thinking. In fact, her mind was filled with scenes of Mo Yichen and herself being together.
He sends himself messages every day. Even in two cities, he still finds various deliberate reasons to meet him, not to mention things that have saved him many times.
"No, no, think about it in your heart, how did Mo Yichen treat you before? Based on your understanding of him, when have you ever seen him treat others like this?"
Manla knew that Gu Yan would deny it subconsciously. She had a wound in her heart and would naturally avoid this matter.
"I don't know what to do now. You know, yesterday he asked me if I wanted to move in with him. It's like a dream. You said that the girls chasing him dream about him day and night. If anyone knows about this, they won’t kill me with a thousand knives.”
Gu Yan waved her hand jokingly: "Forget it, I don't dare to take this job."
Manla couldn't help laughing. The woman in front of her was different from before. She could slowly adjust her mentality and no longer acted like a child.
"Actually, you also like Mo Yichen in your heart, right?"
After laughing, Manla suddenly became serious and looked into her eyes seriously.
That was her best friend, and she could tell at a glance what was on her mind.
"I..." The woman was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"There is a child between you two, but that doesn't mean anything. My only advice to you is to follow your heart and never compromise for the sake of your child to become a person you hate."
Sure enough, the person who knew Gu Yan best was Manla.
Now that Gu Yan knows that her child is Mo Xiangyan, she will definitely try her best to see more Xiangyan, even if it is with Mo Yichen.
"You know what I'm thinking." Gu Yan lowered her head and smiled bitterly. The hot water in her hand had already lost its steam.
"Yes, we have learned from the past. Aren't you and Wen Yunfeng just typical? After that kind of experience, I really can't bear to see you make the same mistake again."
"Don't worry, Manla, I can figure it out. It's not fair to Mo Yichen to get married just because we have children, and there won't be any good results. You don't know, he told me that we will get married in the future. There was so much seriousness in his eyes when he came to protect me, but the more serious he was, the more scared I became. "
"I feel relieved if you can figure it out." Manla stood up and walked to the spare clothes Gu Yan had left here to change into.
"Don't dislike me. I'm too tired. Just make do with it here." Manla threw away her clothes and found a comfortable position to lie on the sofa.
He didn't even have time to take off the makeup on his face, and soon he heard her heavy breathing.
Gu Yan looked at her and smiled softly. It was great. At least she had such a good best friend despite so many messy things.
Gu Yan picked up the blanket and gently covered Manla's body. She stood by the window alone and looked outside, relaxing for a while.
Mo Yichen, this man's name had quietly entered her heart at some point.
