After a series of things ended, it seemed that the peaceful days had come again. Chu Yan drove to the Silver Palm Cafe. Although Mo Xiyao had begun to take over the Liangya Mountain Hot Spring Resort, the Silver Palm was still Chu Yan's only choice when he wanted to find peace.

"How is it? Is the resort busy?" Sitting in Mo Xiyao's office, Chu Yan was holding a cup of coffee ground by Mo Xiyao in his hand. Looking at Mo Xiyao, who was busy but had more and more smiles on his face, there was a faint warmth and emotion spreading in Chu Yan's heart.

"Fortunately, although there are many things, they are going on in an orderly manner. Before New Year's Day, you should be able to get on the right track completely. Chu Yan, you seem a little different today." Mo Xiyao sat in front of the computer. Although it was already late, she was still dealing with the hot spring resort. After all, she just took over the management and operation of the resort, and many things must be sorted out in the shortest time, especially some of the resort's projects need to be adjusted a series of adjustments. These require time and energy. Mo Xiyao enjoys these things very much. She is born to be a business person.

"Oh? Different? What's the difference? Let's hear it." Chu Yan also smiled. His mood was extremely relaxed and calm today, just like opening up a little space of his own in the noisy life. In this space, there is no smoke of gunpowder, no vendetta, and no intrigue. There is only a faint peace and quiet, which is a state that is difficult to appear at any time.

"You seem to be more like it. It's not your appearance, but your temperament, very quiet and peaceful, making people feel like you can't help but want to get close. In short, if it's a little straightforward, your charm index has shown a double growth. How about it? Are you very happy?" Mo Xiyao looked at Chu Yan, observed Chu Yan quietly and carefully, and then told Chu Yan all the feelings that rose in her mind without saying a word.

"Then do you fall in love with me?" Chu Yan smiled, took a sip of coffee, and then said something extremely destructive. He originally thought that Mo Xiyao would change the topic because of this, but he didn't expect that Mo Xiyao stood up from her chair and came to Chu Yan's close-up, sat down, put down the coffee cup in his hand, and then looked at Chu Yan with a pair of water-like eyes at close range. The level and level of staring at at least reached the level of wanting to see Chu Yan's soul through. Moreover, there was a faint feeling of sudden rise in his eyes.

"If...I say yes, what will happen to you?" Mo Xiyao's words were very slow, but there was no joking at all. In other words, what Mo Xiyao thought in her heart at this moment was consistent with what she said. She really fell in love with Chu Yan, but she had fallen into Chu Yan for a long time ago.

"Xiyao, if this is true, I hope you will rethink it. I am not the man who suits you best. You don't even know what kind of life you will face once you follow me. So, I think you are joking." Chu Yan's speech was also very slow, of course, and very sincere. Every word he said at this moment was completely from the heart, without any fraud.

However, sincerity represents hurt at certain times. Chu Yan's sincerity did not make Mo Xiyao happy and relieved. These words kept echoing in Mo Xiyao's mind like thunder, causing her heart to have a bit of indescribable pain in addition to a blank space.

"Of course I'm joking! Haha, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. If you have the chance, let's talk to me about your life. It's the life I don't know or have never heard of. I don't need to mention the plot of picking up girls in the city. Okay, are you hungry? I'll get you some food." After Mo Xiyao said that, she walked out of the office and headed straight to the kitchen without waiting for Chu Yan to express anything.

Looking at Mo Xiyao's back, the slightly shaking shoulders told Chu Yan that Mo Xiyao was in a very bad mood now, but there was nothing he could do about it. Chu Yan also liked Mo Xiyao, and at some point, he had already risen to the level of love between men and women. However, now, when Chu Yan made his own decision, this possibility was completely strangled.

Now, the positive and naked rejection of Mo Xiyao is something Chu Yan doesn't want to do, but not thinking does not mean not doing it. Sometimes people still have to do something that is not what they want.

After twenty minutes, Mo Xiyao returned to the office, holding a plate of freshly baked egg tarts in her hand. It can be seen that the light makeup on Mo Xiyao's face had disappeared, and there was still a hint of wetness on her hair on her cheeks.

"What a fragrant egg tart, is this a new menu?" Chu Yan couldn't help but suck the four egg tarts brought by Mo Xiyao. The fragrance of strawberries and the rich aroma of cream were mixed together and the taste revealed after being steamed by the oven was an irresistible delicacy.

"Strawberry egg tart, here, she has a very poetic name called Pink Memories, which is specially made for couples. Although we are not couples, it is still okay to use them to fill our stomachs. This is made by me, please try it." Mo Xiyao's face was not clear at all, but the smile and relaxation on her face were much less. Basically, Mo Xiyao's current version was almost the same when Chu Yan first met her, with a little cold and scrutiny. This was the expression and reaction that a woman who had to fully control what she wanted to know would have.

In other words, Mo Xiyao returned to the Mo Xiyao before, and the reason for this is not something that Chu Yan said before. After all, Mo Xiyao had been brewing for a long time before finding this opportunity to confess her true love to Chu Yan. Unfortunately, the result she got was that she had to protect herself again, from the inside out, without any leakage. Perhaps only in this way can she not be hurt anymore, whether physically or psychologically.

"Well, the taste is good, and it has a sour and sweet feeling that reminds me of many things from the past." When I entered the egg tart, Chu Yan was immediately attracted by the sweet and sour taste of the mouth. He also remembered the ambiguous memories that had happened with Mo Xiyao because of this sudden unexpected delicacy.

"Chu Yan, I'm really curious about what happened in your past? I asked Jenny many times, but Jenny avoided talking, just told me that you are an extremely dangerous guy, and said that if I were really with you, there would be unexpected thrilling in the second half of my life. Was she hinting to me when she said this?" Although Mo Xiyao was prepared for Chu Yan's rejection, she still felt indescribable sadness and surprise in her heart when the matter really happened. After all, this was the first time in her life that she took the initiative to confess to a man. Obviously, the result of this confession was still a terrible defeat.

"She said nothing. You have seen the wounds on my body. Have you ever thought about how they came about? You are an extremely important friend to me. I don't want you to have to face the danger that belongs only to me because of being with me. So, if I am still alive after my affairs are over, I think we may have a chance at that time, but now, Xiyao, don't mention this matter again." Chu Yan is not a love species, but he is reluctant to hurt any woman who is very important to him.

After he said this, he himself didn't know whether it was right or wrong. No matter what, leaving Mo Xiyao with a distant promise is worse than heartbreaking in front of her. In terms of love between men and women, Chu Yan never knew that long pain was better than short pain. He only knew that he could not hurt the woman who cared for him and loved him. As for the others, Chu Yan didn't care and was not interested.

"OK, since that's the case, then we're determined. In order to make me win this game back, I hope you will live a hundred years old. Okay, eat egg tarts, I still have something to do." Mo Xiyao heard the meaning of Chu Yan's words, but she really didn't expect that Chu Yan rejected her because she didn't want her to get involved in the danger that was not her. Can a man treat you like this?

"I'll pack the egg tarts. In three days, I'll leave Nanshan and go to Nordic Europe. If there's something I can help in the hot spring resort these two days, remember to call me. Also, don't work too late, so get off early, I'll leave." Putting the egg tarts into the box, Chu Yan stood up and left Silver Palm. When Chu Yan walked to his car, a figure suddenly appeared behind Chu Yan.

"You are very on time!" Chu Yan did not turn around, but opened the car door and put the egg tart into the car. Then he turned around with a smile and stared at the person standing in front of him. The narrow and long military stent looked extremely ferocious under the moonlight!!
