Chapter 108 Cooling Down Quickly
On the way back, Lin Mingmo was still driving.
Sheng Yuan sat in the passenger seat, nodded his head and closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.
But Lin Mingmo had a vague feeling that Sheng Yuan fell asleep on purpose just because he didn't want to talk to her.
The journey was long, so she suppressed all her emotions and concentrated on driving.
The white Porsche was like a phantom, shuttling along the winding mountain road.
However, Lin Mingmo always felt that the black car behind them was following them.
However, she quickly rejected this idea. After all, this was the only way down the mountain from the Far East Sanatorium, and perhaps they had just visited their relatives.
It wasn't until the car entered the city that Sheng Yuan woke up slowly. He propped his temples with his fingers and said in a lazy tone, "I need to find Mo Zheng for something. Do you want to come with me or..."
Lin Mingmo was stunned and almost had a collision with the overtaking vehicle.
After finally stabilizing herself, she pursed her lips and asked tentatively, "From your tone, it seems like you don't want me to follow you."
"I don't really want to." Sheng Yuan replied with a chuckle.
The words are straightforward.
Lin Mingmo couldn't hear the joking meaning in his words.
"Why can't you take me with you?" Lin Mingmo pretended to be angry. "Are you going to Xinghai Coast to fool around with Mo Zheng again?"
Sheng Yuan's fingers gently tapped his temples, looking thoughtful.
"Yeah...that's right." He admitted frankly, "You should also know that I was such a playboy before I met you."
"There are so many beautiful women around me... I don't keep myself clean at all."
Sheng Yuan said these words calmly, as if he agreed with this evaluation.
Lin Mingmo's hands suddenly tightened, and her heart felt uncomfortable.
What does this mean?
It was a preemptive measure, telling her that she shouldn't mind even if he did something frivolous in the future...
The car was still moving and Lin Mingmo didn't dare to be distracted.
She just tried to control the turbulent emotions in her heart and said calmly, "Sheng Yuan, if you are angry about my uncle's attitude towards you... I apologize to you on his behalf."
"Although...your attitude towards him is not good either..." Lin Mingmo muttered unhappily.
"Oh." Sheng Yuan's tone was still light, as if he didn't care at all.
Lin Mingmo felt empty inside, as if a huge hole had been dug in her heart.
That’s right, Sheng Yuan and I were just in a fleeting romance, and he might not even look down on me, so how could he value his relatives?
"Sheng Yuan..." Lin Mingmo said with tears in her eyes.
Sheng Yuan rubbed his eyebrows, and Lin Mingmo's words kept echoing in his mind.
“…I’ll run away.”
Although he didn't hear any of the previous events, he suddenly realized that Lin Mingmo had always been on the same side with her so-called "uncle".
When Sheng Yuan was repairing the DVD player in the living room, he walked around casually under the pretext of looking for tools, but he never expected to see a whole file of information about himself in Ying Lan's room.
That thick stack of papers recorded all the information that could be found from his birth to the present.
It can be said that if Ying Lan read all this information, he would understand himself better than Sheng Yuan.
After all, even Sheng Yuan had forgotten most of his childhood memories.
Sheng Yuan thought that Ying Lan's deliberate collection of so much information was definitely not because he had a crush on him.
He, or rather they, really did have some plans for him.
Could Lin Mingmo be a chess piece placed next to him?
Perhaps from the very beginning, Lin Mingmo's rash entry into his room was no accident...
When he fell in love with her passionately and sincerely, she must have secretly laughed at him in her heart.
He looked at Lin Mingmo dimly with his peripheral vision, and after a long silence, he spoke, "Lin Mingmo, do you love me?"
Lin Mingmo's hands were shaking as she gripped the steering wheel. She bit her lower lip and remained silent for a long time.
What is this...are you messing with my mentality?
Lin Mingmo felt choked up and was in no mood to talk about this.
hehe.
A sneer appeared on Sheng Yuan's lips again.
The temperature in the carriage seemed to drop several degrees, and Lin Mingmo was enveloped in a chill.
Lin Mingmo was used to Sheng Yuan's enthusiasm and clinginess, so he was so cold now that she felt at a loss for what to do.
She was distraught.
I simply parked the car by the roadside, unbuckled my seat belt, opened the door and got out.
"Sheng Yuan, go find him yourself." Lin Mingmo said to him through the car window, "I'll take a taxi back myself."
After hearing what he said, Sheng Yuan opened the car door and got out of the passenger seat and sat in the driver's seat.
Lin Mingmo still held on to the hope that he might try to keep her or let her get in the car.
But the Ferrari roared and sped away, and the pungent smell of exhaust gas rushed into Lin Mingmo's nostrils.
When she came to her senses, the white Porsche was no longer in her sight.
Just... left?
Lin Mingmo was stunned.
She was in a trance for a moment, and could hardly tell which one was the real Sheng Yuan, the cold and ruthless Sheng Yuan or the domineering and gentle Sheng Yuan.
Or maybe he is both.
People are inherently complex and changeable.
Lin Mingmo never dared to dream of getting any sincerity from Sheng Yuan.
Their relationship was like a red-hot charcoal dropped into ice water, instantly extinguished and cooled down.
She was melancholy on the roadside for a while, calmed down, and took a taxi back to Yumei Garden.
The moment she unlocked the phone with her fingerprint, Lin Mingmo suddenly realized something.
Everything that happened last night is still fresh in my mind, and Sheng Yuan’s words “You don’t need to please” are still echoing in my ears.
Only one day had passed and everything had changed.
With a "click", the door opened.
Lin Mingmo secretly wondered, how many times in the past would I unlock this door?
When his novelty wears off, she will completely disappear from his life like his ex-girlfriends...
Since Sheng Yuan was not around, Lin Mingmo used the ingredients in the refrigerator to make a meal that had no color, aroma or taste.
While eating, she contacted Chen Xue.
I decided to work hard, at least have a job that can support myself.
Chen Xue replied quickly, and her excited tone was conveyed through the text, welcoming Lin Mingmo back to work.
Lin Mingmo was naturally happy, but this happiness did not last long, as she thought of Qin Yue scolding her angrily.
Will she agree to go back by herself?
If Teacher Qin is still willing to work with her, Lin Mingmo must explain to her the relationship between herself and Mo Zheng.
Lin Mingmo asked Chen Xue for Qin Yue's cell phone number and called her nervously.
The phone was connected and Qin Yue's cold voice came out.
"Which one?"
"Teacher Qin, I... I'm Lin Mingmo." Lin Mingmo was afraid that Qin Yue would hang up the phone, so she spoke quickly, "Mo Zheng and I are just a boss and employee with a little friendship. It's definitely not what you think. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble by being absent from work for so many days. Teacher Qin, if you are still willing to work with me, I would be very grateful..."
She usually speaks very slowly, and when she suddenly sped up, it seemed like her brain was a little confused.
It felt like there was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time. Lin Mingmo could even imagine Qin Yue's serious, contemptuous and impatient expression.
She said self-deprecatingly: "Teacher Qin, I'm really sorry, I was too presumptuous..."
"You must come to work tomorrow. This is your last chance. Lin Mingmo, I'm not Mo Zheng. I can tolerate you many times."
That cold voice came from the phone again.
Lin Mingmo thought for a moment that she had misheard and asked in disbelief, "Is it really possible?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Yue, who treated him so badly that day, was so easy to talk to.
"Lin Mingmo, you're very talented, young and beautiful." Qin Yue said calmly, "I've seen too many girls like you who use their beauty as their asset."
"But I've also seen too many beautiful girls end up in a dead end, wasting their youth."
Lin Mingmo was speechless and moved her mouth, trying to clarify.
But suddenly I thought, Qin Yue didn't seem to have any malicious intention in saying this.
Moreover, she did rely on her face to attract other people's attention, and she did taste the bitter fruit.
Doesn’t Sheng Yuan’s behavior today just prove this point?
"Thank you, Teacher Qin. I will go to work on time tomorrow morning." Although the other party couldn't see her, Lin Mingmo still forced a smile, her tone sincere and genuine.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Mingmo breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, in the box of Star Coast, Sheng Yuan held a wine glass in one hand and a mobile phone in the other.
His eyes were fixed on the real-time surveillance footage on his phone, the corners of his mouth slightly turned down, and his eyes became increasingly gloomy.
