Chapter Nine, You Are My Light, Guiding Me Forward.

Because Gu Tianhai takes care of Yan Mo, people in the company have started to alienate Yan Mo. Gradually, malicious gossip began to spread.

What Tianhai brought back... Gu Zhen Ni felt embarrassed and hesitant, but before she could finish her words, Ye Zixin stepped forward and started shouting.

Yan Mo, who rarely travels far, took the address and took a half-hour taxi ride to finally arrive at the seaside resort. "Mo Mo loves it the most," he said, "his home is right next to the resort, by the sea."

In my heart, there is no question of suitability. If I love you, I love you. I will not let anyone's opposition become a reason not to love you. Gu Tianhai tightly held Yan Mo's hand, his gaze suddenly fell on the calendar on the table.

Ye Zixin, stop being unreasonable! Gu Tianhai was about to stand up and scold Ye Zixin, but Yan Mo was faster. She stood up from her seat and splashed soy sauce on Ye Zixin.

I don't believe that you don't like me at all," Ye Zixin said, suddenly picking up the water on the table and splashing it on Yan Mo's face.

Yan Mo, feeling mocked, pouted and rolled her eyes. Then she earnestly ordered all the salmon ingredients on the menu. The waiter standing beside her took out a pen, quickly recorded, and repeated what she had ordered.

What qualifies her to stay in this house? Ye Zixin walked up to Yan Mo and prepared to drag her out and kick her out of the house.

Gu Tianhai held Yan Mo's hand and the two walked on the vintage-colored tiled road. The summer wind passed through, blowing the wind chimes outside the various shops, making a "ding-ding" sound.

A familiar voice came from behind Yan Mo, "Yan Mo."

Although Gu Zhen Ni, who noticed this, didn't want to bother with her, she still softened her attitude for the sake of her father and younger brother.

Purple Xin, you're here? Gu Zhen Ni walked towards Ye Zi Xin, while Ye Zi Xin stood still at the doorstep, looking at Yan Mo's radiant smile, filled with hatred.

After Ye Zixin left the Gu family, Gu Zhen Ni fell into silence.

That's shark fin soup," Gu Tianhai smiled and continued eating.

The scene of openly displaying affection is like a dazzling light, making the entire office radiant.

Ye Zixin was thinking that Gu Tianhai invited her to his house for dinner, he must be planning to affirm her existence, he must be planning to break up with Yan Mo.

You ... ... you!

Gu Tianhai looked at Yan Mo, who suddenly became indifferent to him, feeling particularly uncomfortable. He wanted to cry, but he tried hard to tell himself not to shed tears. He stood outside the closed door, tightly clenching his fists. After enduring the sadness for a long time, he finally turned and left.

Oxford Street is the most distinctive place in this city. The buildings here are designed in the British style, which strongly contrasts with the modern houses around them and perfectly embodies exotic charm. There are many restaurants on this street, making it a romantic dating spot for couples.

Although Gu Shaojun expressed no objection, Yan Mo still stood in place and did not dare to approach the dining table. She looked at Gu Zhenyi, who had not given her a good face since she entered the door, as if waiting for Gu Zhenyi to speak.

Yan Mo, who was in an excited state, looked at the time and realized that there was still half an hour before getting off work. However, she couldn't wait to rush to the market to buy ingredients.

Your emotions change too quickly, don't they?

After seeing Yan Mo, Gu Tianhai nervously hugged her and said, "Yan Mo, what's wrong? Why did you propose to break up? Isn't it just because I didn't accompany you for dinner last night?"

However, when Gu Tianhai and Yan Mo publicly confirmed their romantic relationship, they found that everything was not as simple as they had imagined.

Gu Zhenyi, who has a strong sense of self-esteem, walked out of the office building of Xinghai Publishing House without looking back. In the following half month, Gu Zhenyi did not appear at Xinghai.

Yan Mo, sitting in front of the computer desk, couldn't help but chuckle as she watched their frantic appearance. When she looked up and met Gu Tianhai's gaze, he squinted his eyes at her and gently lifted the corners of his lips, with a radiant smile.

The editors gathered in the water cooler area, exchanging glances, then quickly returned to their desks to search for best-selling comic books from previous years.

Yan Mo looked at the chat window, then looked at Gu Tianhai, and suddenly understood everything.

天海, actually, I, don't want to break up at all, not at all... Yan Mo buried her head in Gu Tianhai's chest, unable to help but sob.

For the past two years, I have been afraid that you would be lonely, so I have been accompanying you in this way. Therefore, I understand you better than anyone else, and I know that you love me. I came to Xinghai because you told me that you wanted to see me. Although I haven't appeared in the past two years, you have always been present in my life and my heart.

So, are you accompanying Ye Zixin in the hospital? Still lying to me.

Gu Tianhai held her tighter and comforted her, saying, "I know that I have neglected your feelings during this time, but I will not easily let go of your hand. I will become your safe haven and will not let you suffer any more grievances."

I know that lying is wrong, and I swear that I won't lie again in the future!Gu Tianhai raised his finger in a panic and made a vow to the sky.

Therefore, from that time on, Gu Tianhai always accommodated Ye Zixin everywhere and complied with all her capricious demands. However, later on, due to some matters, Ye Zixin and her family went abroad, and Gu Tianhai also began his own life.

You should stay in the hospital to take care of her. Yan Mo looked gloomy, and she remembered the disdainful look from Gu Zhen Ni. Even if she and Gu Tianhai were to be together, she would never be accepted by his family. Such a relationship would only become a burden in the future, and she didn't want that kind of relationship.

When Gu Tianhai left, the female editors crowded around, asking with envy how Yan Mo had captured the heart of the male god. Yan Mo smiled awkwardly, not knowing where to start, and finally avoided the topic, continuing to work.

Who is Gu Tianhai?" Yan Mo suddenly bounced up from the sofa. She clicked on the picture and enlarged it.

I have an urgent matter to attend to. My father's company is facing some issues, and I need to handle it tonight. Yan Mo, please go ahead and eat without waiting for me. Gu Tianhai stuttered, unaware that Yan Mo on the other end of the phone already knew his whereabouts and the disappointment and sadness she was feeling at this moment.

To make Yan Mo feel more at ease, Gu Tianhai started talking about everyday life and jokes. The originally dull atmosphere became lively because of Gu Tianhai.

Originally, over the past two years, Gu Tianhai has been maintaining a subtle connection with Yan Mo, but Yan Mo, being slow to react, has never realized that "most beloved Mo Mo" refers to him.

When Yan Mo stepped out of the taxi, a salty sea breeze blew in his face. The words "Haiquan Bay Resort" were hanging high not far away.

Yes, that's correct. Yan Mo nodded eagerly and urged the waiter to serve the dishes.

It's really Qixi Festival! After confirming that today is Qixi Festival, Yan Mo seemed a bit excited. "Finally, I can let you experience my cooking skills!"

Do you think Yan Mo might be the third party?

Love, sometimes, is not an easy thing. This difficulty comes from the public opinion and pressure around us, from our closest family members, from those who want to destroy it, and from love itself.

While still in the hospital taking care of Ye Zixin, Gu Tianhai was awakened by a text message. When he saw the message, his pupils contracted in fear. After instructing the nurse to take care of Ye Zixin, Gu Tianhai hurriedly left the hospital and rushed to Yan Mo's house.

Well, you're busy, I'll hang up. Yan Mo hung up the phone, with a bitter smile.

Gu Zhen Ni, like Ye Zi Xin, never thought that Gu Tian Hai would bring Yan Mo home to meet his parents. So before Ye Zi Xin arrived, Gu Zhen Ni was still chatting alone with Gu Tian Hai.

Gu Zhen Ni's Weibo is very rich and colorful, mostly consisting of selfies while trying on makeup.

Upon seeing those words, Yan Mo's heart skipped a beat. It wasn't a flutter, she just didn't expect an unfamiliar reader to have such admiration for her.

Before long, the Japanese-style table was filled with dishes related to salmon. Yan Moxing eagerly picked up the chopsticks, put his palms together, and said in Japanese, "I'm starting!"

Yan Mo, open the door. After arriving at Yan Mo's home, Gu Tianhai kept ringing the doorbell, but Yan Mo didn't open the door for him. Gu Tianhai had to knock on the door and kept calling Yan Mo's phone. When Yan Mo's phone rang for the tenth time, the door finally opened.

Was it really because of work last night? Yan Mo pushed away Gu Tianhai, who was holding her. She was calmer than before, but also more uneasy. She both wanted to hear an explanation and was afraid of hearing lies. The conflicting emotions plunged her into chaos.

天海, you said, are we really suitable for each other? So many people around us object, and we can't even get the blessing of our families. Yan Mo leaned in Gu Tianhai's arms, looking sad. She could see less and less of their future together, and the more conflicted she became.

I want to eat a lot of salmon. Yan Mo, who looks like a child in front of Gu Tianhai, sat down in the innermost seat. She pointed to the promotional picture of salmon hanging on the wall, with a bright smile.

Yan Mo looked up to search for the people on the seaside villa, but the glass of the building was covered with sun-blocking film, so she could only see the dazzling sunlight reflected from there. Yan Mo reflexively raised her hand to block the glaring sunlight, and then walked towards the villa.

Yan Mo held an address and got into a taxi to find the person named "Zui Ai Mo Mo". Yesterday, she had a long conversation with "Zui Ai Mo Mo". She explained the causes and consequences of the situation and her own distress to "Zui Ai Mo Mo", and also expressed that she didn't want to break up, but she was afraid that she couldn't keep up with the other person's pace. She didn't know what to do, so she hoped that "Zui Ai Mo Mo" could help her. She explained the causes and consequences of the situation and her own distress to "Zui Ai Mo Mo", and also expressed that she didn't want to break up, but she was afraid that she couldn't keep up with the other person's pace. She didn't know what to do, so she hoped that "Zui Ai Mo Mo" could help her.

Oh my god, I never expected to have readers who like me so much! Yan Mo shouted excitedly in her heart. She couldn't wait to meet the reader standing on the balcony.

Yan Mo stood on the balcony, gazing at the nearby beach. The white sand was wrapped in golden sunlight, and the blue ocean sparkled under the sunlight. But what was even more eye-catching than all of these were the few large characters on the beach -.

He already has a girlfriend now, and he doesn't want Ye Zixin to continue bothering him.

"Since you have time to gossip here, you must also have time to work overtime, right?" Gu Tianhai suddenly opened the entrance door, and the few employees who were stirring coffee were startled and quickly closed their mouths.

These fans are really delicious. Yan Mo, who couldn't find a topic, praised the "fans" on the dining table, while Gu Zhen Ni couldn't help but let out a short chuckle.

Gu Tianhai clasped his hands, looking gloomy, and continued, "You go and find all the best-selling comics from previous years, do a comparative analysis of the similar market, and handwrite the results to me tomorrow."

Due to the age difference, there are many people who oppose their relationship. The first person to object to their dating was Gu Zhen Ni. Since they started dating, Gu Zhen Ni has never given Yan Mo a good face, and even deliberately made things difficult for her at work.

丁零零ーー Mobile phone ringtone suddenly sounded, Gu Tianhai saw that the caller was Ye Zixin, and chose to reject the call.

It turns out that Gu Tianhai also regarded her as a fool. Why would he tell such a lie? Or is it because Gu Tianhai gradually believes that only Ye Zixin can match him?

Have you heard that Yan Mo became the editor-in-chief only by relying on Gu Tianhai?

The gate of the villa was wide open, so Yan Mo walked straight in. There was a cobblestone path between the gate and the first floor of the villa. Yan Mo admired the surrounding garden scenery while walking in the direction designated as "Favorite MoMo".

Gu Tianhai, you scoundrel, why didn't you answer when Zixin called you? Do you know that Zixin is in the hospital now? Are you capable of taking responsibility if anything happens to her? Gu Zhen Ni's words filled Gu Tianhai with fear. He had never thought that Ye Zixin would have an accident. He quickly drove to the hospital.

"Are you following me?" Gu Tianhai frowned.

Gu Tianhai has argued with Gu Zhenyi several times because of this, hoping that Gu Zhenyi will not interfere with his own feelings. Gu Zhenyi, who has no intention of giving in, scolded Yan Mo in front of everyone in the company, saying that she was shameless for being an older woman with a younger man. Gu Tianhai, who is wholeheartedly protecting his girlfriend, shouted at Gu Zhenyi and in his anger, said the words "get out of Xinghai".

After experiencing betrayal, Yan Mo has a new perspective on love: people's hearts can change, even the person who was once loved the most may one day leave.

There's no need to search. The camera is located directly above you. "Love, Mo Mo" sent another message. Yan Mo awkwardly lowered her head and continued walking in the designated direction.

Yan Mo smiled awkwardly yet happily. Before she could answer, Gu Tianhai added, "There's a new sushi restaurant on Oxford Street. Let's go eat after work."

These days, young boys have a mother complex.

The following day.

After Gu Tianhai left, it was Yan Motou's turn to worry. Because she spoke without thinking earlier, now she doesn't know where to find a boyfriend to deal with Gu Tianhai.

You told me that you are not dating! You told me that she is not your girlfriend!

A few minutes ago, Gu Tianhai held a staff meeting, intending to recruit a group of artists specifically to create according to market demands. However, Yan Mo has always been against this commercial model of soliciting submissions, believing that it would undermine the creativity of the artists.

How about we cook and eat together at home next Valentine's Day? It's been a long time since we had a meal together at home.

Don't stand there, come and have a meal together. Gu Zhen Ni's tone was harsh, but she didn't rush Yan Mo. Yan Mo was startled, and couldn't help feeling happy from the bottom of her heart. Gu Tianhai took her hand and walked towards the dining table together.

Ye Zixin glared at Yan Mo with anger and left Gu Tianhai's house. Her eyes seemed to say, "I won't let you off!"

I don't agree with you turning Xinghai into a commercial comic publishing company. This will prevent many authors from creating according to their own ideas and will stifle many truly talented authors. Yan Mo stood in front of Gu Tianhai's desk, very angry.

Continuing, Gu Tianhai reached out and gently embraced Yan Mo in his arms, saying: "My name is Gu Tianhai, given to me by my father. The original meaning of this name is vastness and tolerance. Like the sky, it is boundless; like the sea, it gathers all rivers."

After meeting Yan Mo, Gu Tianhai began to understand that some emotions cannot be obeyed just because of gratitude.

Is today the Qixi Festival?

Such thoughts persisted until she met Gu Tianhai. But after Yan Mo met Gu Tianhai, she gradually discovered that love is simpler than imagined.

Yan Moyi leaned on Gu Tianhai's embrace, feeling his warmth and the sensation of happiness. On that day, they opened up and talked about many topics, and Yan Moyi also learned about some things from Gu Tianhai's childhood.

"Okay, let me show you my rapidly improving cooking skills!" Yan Mo boasted a little.

Yan Mo, please forgive me, considering today is the Qixi Festival.

At night, Ye Zixin received an invitation from Gu Tianhai, inviting her to have dinner together at his home.

A few employees gathered in the water dispenser room, chatting while making coffee, occasionally sighing. Separated from the water dispenser room by a poorly soundproofed entrance, was Yan Mo's desk.

You should be grateful that I haven't added any wasabi. Yan Mo said bluntly, "Please stop bothering my boyfriend. I am not the person I was two years ago. I won't give up on the person I like just because of what you say. Now, I like Gu Tianhai and I want to be with him. No matter how unreasonable you are, I won't back down. We will walk into the church together, have our own life, and have our own children. If you don't want to be remembered as a home-wrecker, please don't insult others or throw water around without reason. We are not obligated to tolerate your temper."

Gu Tianhai couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw Yan Mo's solemn and resolute appearance, patting his chest.

On this night, Yan Mo pondered a lot. Perhaps, she couldn't accept the repeated betrayals and lies. Perhaps, a love with such a vast difference in family background would exhaust one's heart. ... Perhaps ... ... she should let go ... ....

Later, the mobile phone rang many times again, but Gu Tianhai still did not answer. Finally, he chose to add Ye Zixin to the blacklist.

The female waitress politely nodded and walked with small steps to the kitchen to place the order.

Yan Mo looked at the plate of shark fin soup in embarrassment.

I also lied," Yan Mo said calmly, without any emotion or color in her tone. "In fact, during the two years we were apart, I no longer liked you. The reason I was with you was to provoke your sister and Ye Zixin. I wanted them to know that even if they opposed it, you would still choose me. I dated you not because I liked you, but for ulterior motives. Moreover, I already have someone I like. Instead of continuously deceiving you, it's better to clarify things now. Let's break up, I no longer like you."

Ye Zixin, Yan Mo is my girlfriend, and we are indeed in a relationship. I said two years ago that I like Yan Mo and will not change. So, I hope you don't disturb us anymore. Gu Tianhai sighed helplessly, confirming Yan Mo's existence and their relationship.

When she finished speaking, Gu Tianhai slightly parted his lips, looking somewhat surprised. And she fell into silence as well. She didn't know if it was because of the immense pressure around her that made her want to give up this relationship with conflicting values.

Dear boss, in order for me to have a happy Qixi Festival, please allow me to leave half an hour early today!

After Yan Mo finished cooking, she lay bored on the sofa in the living room waiting for Gu Tianhai to knock on the door. She looked at the clock on the wall, watching the hands move from six to seven, and then from seven to eight. When Yan Mo became a little bored, she started browsing Weibo to see if any of the comic artists she followed had updated their comics.

What are you doing here? If you want to be a third wheel and join us for dinner, I don't mind. But I suggest you go home first and freshen up. Yan Mo finished speaking without taking a breath, leaving Ye Zixin speechless and forced to leave in embarrassment.

Mo Mo, who is deeply loved, readily agreed to Yan Mo's request and was willing to pretend to be her boyfriend to meet Gu Tianhai. However, he asked Yan Mo to visit him in person to show sincerity.

Although Yan Mo and Gu Tianhai work in the same place, Yan Mo gradually feels that the distance between them is getting farther and farther. This distance is not about the actual physical distance, but about the different family and living environments.

Are you 'the one who loves MoMo'?

Why is no one here? Just when Yan Mo was confused and puzzled, "Love Mo Mo" sent a message: "Look outside at the beach."

Yan Mo, what nonsense are you talking about? Breaking up or not breaking up? Gu Tianhai softened his tone a bit. He walked around the desk and gently embraced Yan Mo in his arms. "I'm sorry, my attitude was bad just now. Can you please not be angry?"

The woman who came to the company last time to see the boss seems to be a rival of Yan Mo.

Yan Mo believes that Gu Zhen Ni and Ye Zi Xin's mockery of her lack of excellence was only directed at her as an individual. However, when she actually stood by Gu Tianhai's side, she realized that this so-called lack of excellence probably stemmed from different family backgrounds and social circles.

Although Yan Mo has lived in this city for more than 20 years, this is her first time coming to Oxford Street. Many hanging flower pots are arranged in Oxford Street, and the fragrance of violets and lavender permeates the air, refreshing the mind and body.

In the past two years, under the guidance of "Most Beloved MoMo" and her continuous experimentation, she has finally mastered the cooking skills. Now, she has successfully shed the title of "Dark Cooking Master."

As dawn approached, Yan Mo, who woke up from the sofa, edited a text message and hesitated for a moment before choosing to send it.

Today on the calendar, a circle was drawn with a red marker. Gu Tianhai suddenly remembered that today is Qixi Festival. He had once said that he would cook and eat at home with Yan Mo. But the sudden busyness made them both forget about this.

Yan Mo walked quickly to the French window, paused for a moment, pushed it open, and walked onto the balcony. However, there was no one on the balcony.

Yan Moyuan originally thought that she and Gu Tianhai would always be good. They would break through the obstacles of society and weather the storm together in adversity. They wouldn't hide anything from each other no matter what happened. But sometimes, the conflicts from within themselves would easily create distance between the two.

Just now, my mind must have been flooded, that's why I said those strange things. We could have reconciled, but now it's turned sour. What should I do? Where can I find a boyfriend?

Gu Tianhai, I, Ye Zixin, am not that shameless. Since you have made it clear today, I won't squeeze myself in between you all. Ye Zixin's resentful gaze never moved away from Yan Mo, who was hiding behind Gu Tianhai, afraid to meet such a gaze.

Overlapping figures stand in the sunlight, with long shadows falling on the ground. After the crying and embracing, there is a reconciling kiss.

Okay, but this time it's your turn to cook for me.

So, with a great mood, Ye Zixin dressed up carefully and criticized Yan Mo in her heart. But when she arrived at Gu Tianhai's house, the first scene she saw was Yan Mo and Gu Shaojun sitting on the sofa chatting.
