Gu Ran Yi pouted a little as she felt that Alexander was a bit insincere if he proposed to her that way.
Alexander chuckled when he looked at Gu Ran Yi"s expression, and he bent down to peck on her lips.
Gu Ran Yi"s face turned beet red upon Alexander"s sudden actions.
Alexander used one hand to hold Gu Ran Yi by her nape and the other around her waist as he looked at her with a serious expression.
"I was just kidding. I will know when you are ready by looking at your eyes. However, I can"t propose to you now because I need to settle the matters with Poker and Heinrich Corporation first. If we get married now, it might bring you trouble later even though they don"t know who I am now."
"Do you think that I would let you face them alone even though we are not married? Not only am I Xi Xi"s best friend, but I am also your girlfriend. So, there is no way that I would let any of you face them alone."
Alexander gently stroked Gu Ran Yi"s head, "You have to be careful as well, alright."
"Mm. Let"s go have breakfast now." Gu Ran Yi pulled Alexander and was ready to leave.
However, Alexander didn"t move, and instead, he pulled her into his arms, "How could I love you so much…"
Alexander felt an immense amount of love filling up his heart at that moment when Gu Ran Yi pulled his hand to have breakfast, and he couldn"t help but say it out.
"Me too…" Gu Ran Yi answered.
Their love might have come very suddenly and unknowingly at the start, but they knew that they were each other"s forever when they fell in love.
The two continued to hug for a while before they went to have their breakfast.
Mo Xi went to her office, and w.a.n.g Hui, Su Hong Shan, and Jackson came into her office to find her immediately.
"Boss! You are back!"
"Mhm. How are you guys doing?"
"We were anxious about you because you went away without contacting us for so long."
"Sorry to have made you guys worried. Don"t worry. I am perfectly fine. I just have things to deal with."
"Are you back for good now?"
"No. I am only back for today because the matters have not been settled. However, I will do my best to come back more often now. Although I was away, I have been paying close attention to what"s happening in our company, so I know you guys are doing great. You guys have eyes for kind and talented people, so I am pleased that you guys are getting better and better at what you are doing!"
Su Hong Shan and w.a.n.g Hui scratched their heads awkwardly because they were shy about being complimented by Mo Xi.
"Thank you."
Mo Xi then pa.s.sed them gifts that she had prepared.
"Uncle Su loves coffee, so I got you some coffee beans from overseas. This is their best coffee. Aunt Su loves crystals, so I bought this crystal bracelet that is meant to bring good luck and health to the wearer."
Since it was outside work hours, Mo Xi decided to call them by "Aunt" and "Uncle".
Su Hong Shan and w.a.n.g Hui were also very shocked when Mo Xi gave them presents, and they thanked her for her thoughtfulness when preparing the gifts.
They then caught up for a short while before they left and went to have their breakfast as well.
Jackson was the only one left in Mo Xi"s office, and Mo Xi immediately asked him how he and Yu Jia Hui was doing.
"How are you and Jia Hui doing?" Mo Xi then asked Jackson.
"Uhm… I don"t know… Maybe she doesn"t love me that much…"
"What happened?"
"She doesn"t want to live with me…"
"That"s all?"
"Mm…"
"Why do you think so?"
"Wouldn"t you feel very at ease when you are with the person you love and wants to be with that person all the time? But she doesn"t seem to want to be with me..."
Mo Xi chuckled, "Do you know that the more cautious Jia Hui is right now, the more it meant that she loves you?"
"Really? But didn"t you and your husband live together very quickly?"
"That"s because we both know that we need each other, and we both know what each other wants."
Jackson immediately became very sad when he heard what Mo Xi said, "So, you mean Jia Hui doesn"t need me?"
Mo Xi laughed again and pointed at her head, "What"s inside your head?"
"Jia Hui is unlike other girls, right? She used to be very carefree and open. However, because she is very serious about the relations.h.i.+p she has with you, that"s why she wants to take things slow. She wants to make sure that the relations.h.i.+p between you and her would work, and that"s why she is trying to be careful. If she was not cautious at all and were to follow her old ways, it meant that she doesn"t care about you because you were just like the other guys that she had met before."
Jackson listened intently to what Mo Xi was saying because even though he had read up and done a lot of research on relationsh.i.p.s, he still doesn"t know what Yu Jia Hui was thinking about.
"More importantly, she wanted you to be sure of what you felt for her. You are inexperienced in love and relationsh.i.p.s, unlike her. She knows how she feels about you, and she is clearly serious about the relations.h.i.+p that she has with you. However, she is worried that you don"t know what love is and might mistake infatuation with love as she had been through it before in her very first relations.h.i.+p. So, you should be happy that she is being cautious in the relations.h.i.+p she has with you. Haven"t you realized that she had changed a lot?"
