Chapter 8. Li Mo’s Hug for Su Qingyan, I Promise You
Li Mo’s hug…
Could be described as incredibly tight.
For Su Qingyan,
She felt a warmth she had never experienced before.
She really liked…
This feeling…
Noticing the change in Li Mo, Su Qingyan’s delicate face grew slightly flushed.
She was already 19 years old— an adult.
Naturally, she understood that between a man and a woman,
If the feelings were mutual,
Everything would follow naturally.
He wouldn’t want to take things further with today, would he?
“No, big brother-in-law…”
“We have to hold back.”
“After we get our marriage certificate, then I’ll give you a child.”
Su Qingyan was quite traditional at heart.
So, when it ca to premarital behavior,
She found it very hard to accept.
Only then did Li Mo realize—
His instincts…
Had made this little girl misunderstand.
“It’s nothing, go to sleep.”
“I can’t take your money.”
“In the future… if you don’t want to leave, I can take care of you for the rest of your life.”
Li Mo let go of Su Qingyan,
But then saw the disappointnt in her eyes.
“After talking for so long…”
“You still don’t want to be with .”
“Do you really dislike that much?”
Li Mo paused slightly,
Then…
He spoke very seriously.
“After all these years, our bond is deep.”
“If I said I didn’t like you,”
“That would be a lie… It’s just that I’ve always seen you as a little sister.”
“Such a sudden change would naturally feel strange.”
“Most importantly, you’re only 19.”
“I’ve been through that age too…”
“It’s a ti of confusion about many things in life.”
“So decisions are made purely on impulse.”
“I could be with you now,”
“But what if, five years later,”
“Or ten years later… you regret it?”
“You’re young, but I can’t be irresponsible.”
Hearing Li Mo’s words,
Su Qingyan’s tears began to fall, one after another.
“I just like you.”
“I’ll never regret it.”
“Since I was little, I’ve always been alone.”
“My mom ignored , my sister ignored .”
“Only after eting you did things change.”
“Every ti you saw ,”
“You’d take out to play.”
“You always spoiled .”
“Especially this past year in Shencheng,”
“You’ve taken care of in every way possible.”
“I just like you. Now that you and my sister are divorced,”
“If I can’t be with you,”
“I don’t want to do anything anymore.”
As she spoke…
Su Qingyan began to cry, harder and harder.
In her heart…
She loved Li Mo desperately.
Before, she never dared to express it.
She thought this feeling might just remain a beautiful fantasy in her life.
But now…
Li Mo was divorced, and the emotions in her heart
Could no longer be suppressed.
“If we get together,”
“What will our relatives and friends think?”
“Your parents would never agree.”
“And my family…”
Li Mo’s words…
Seed to go completely unheard by Su Qingyan.
Now, she was crying even harder,
As if imagining a future where she and Li Mo had no chance,
Her heart ached even more.
Watching her uncontrollable sobs,
Li Mo knew…
If he didn’t take a stand now,
He wouldn’t be much of a man.
“Alright, don’t cry.”
“I promise you.”
Li Mo gently ruffled Su Qingyan’s hair,
Still as doting as ever.
“You promise ?”
Su Qingyan wiped her tears.
“I promise you.”
“But let’s not rush into anything yet.”
“Take so ti to calm down.”
“Sumr break is coming soon.”
“You’ve been in Shencheng for over a year but haven’t really experienced real life.”
“I’m about to start my own business. When the ti cos, you can join .”
“I hope you can mature a little.”
“If you still feel the sa way about ,”
“Then… no matter what obstacles co, I’ll be with you.”
Li Mo looked at Su Qingyan,
His eyes full of tenderness…
“Mhm…”
Su Qingyan nodded, finally agreeing.
Li Mo offering this arrangent
Was practically handing her the reins.
She knew very well…
Her feelings for Li Mo wouldn’t change.
Since he had said this,
It ant they were destined to be together.
Thinking of this…
A secret joy bubbled up in Su Qingyan’s heart.
“Keep this piggy bank.”
Su Qingyan picked up the piggy bank beside her,
Shoved it into Li Mo’s arms,
Then ran back to her room.
Now…
The shyness she felt
Was completely uncontrollable.
Earlier, caught up in the mont,
She had been bold enough to say all those things.
But now that she had cald down…
Back in her room…
Su Qingyan flopped onto the bed,
Rolled over, and buried her face in her hands.
Her slender black-stockinged legs kicked restlessly.
Under the moonlight…
Su Qingyan’s mind kept replaying what had just happened.
The more she thought, the more embarrassed she felt.
……
Li Mo held the piggy bank,
Sitting by his bedroom window, gazing at the city’s glittering nightscape.
Though it was late at night…
Shencheng’s bustling streets never lacked people coming and going.
“So cold.”
“But also so warm.”
Su Qingyan was truly a girl untouched by worldly concerns.
Li Mo felt she was a treasure he’d cherish for life.
Recalling the scene from earlier…
The gloom of losing his job and going through a divorce
Completely vanished in that mont.
Li Mo suddenly felt a surge of motivation!
……
The Next Day.
Ma Tengyun woke up in his rented apartnt,
His head pounding.
Normally, he was an introverted man
Who rarely drank…
But yesterday, he had downed so much.
He couldn’t even rember how much—maybe over a dozen bottles.
And he had chugged them straight from the bottle.
“Oh no…”
“I got too carried away yesterday.”
When that Li Mo ntioned investing in him,
He had felt like he’d found salvation.
So, in front of Li Mo, he had kept gulping down beers,
One after another,
Until he blacked out.
He had even insisted on paying the bill.
But now, thinking back…
Could he have just been bluffing?
After all, investing in his project required an initial one million yuan!
And Li Mo didn’t even drive a luxury car.
Could soone like that…
Really have a million to spare?
“I was an idiot.”
“But… I should still ask. With this internet industry downturn, finding an investor for instant ssaging is nearly impossible.”
Ma Tengyun checked his phone,
Finding the new contact he had added the day before.
With so hesitation…
He dialed Li Mo’s number.
Soon…
The call connected.
“Hello.”
“Mr. Li, do you rember ?”
Li Mo’s voice ca through clearly.
“Of course I do.”
Ma Tengyun cautiously pressed further.
“Then… do you rember what we discussed yesterday?”
If Li Mo said no now,
He wouldn’t argue—after all, there was no formal agreent between them.
“Of course I rember. Co et .”
“We’ll finalize the investnt details today.”
Instantly…
Ma Tengyun felt a rush of adrenaline.
He wasn’t lying to after all!
