Proud of Her Excellence

When Su Yuan left the office, it was already late at night.

Gu Qin and the other programmers were still fighting, and Su Yuan was so tired that she ran away. After returning to the villa, she walked toward the small building out of habit. When she reached the small building, she remembered that she had already promised Big Boss Mo to sleep in the main building. She turned around to look at the pitch-black main building. It was almost midnight, but Big Boss Mo did not seem to be back. He might not even be back tonight. She would just sleep in the small building for the night and move to the main building tomorrow.

The door had a fingerprint lock, so it opened with a press.

The light in the house was weak. Knowing that Su Yuan had a phobia of darkness, President Mo had ordered people to install sensor lights all over the house when she moved in. The lights would turn on once the sky turned dark.

Usually, Su Qiumeng would have been asleep by this time. Su Yuan tiptoed upstairs, afraid that she would be too loud and wake her mother up. However, when she was halfway there, she heard a rustling sound from upstairs.

“It’s already so late and mom is still not asleep?” Su Yuan walked a few steps faster and realized that Su Qiumeng’s door was indeed half-closed, and there was light coming out from the door. She was about to knock on the door when she heard a familiar voice.

“Aunt Su, it doesn’t matter to me whether a person’s background is noble or not, and I don’t care. I only know that Little Yuan is very good and outstanding. She’s smarter than any woman I’ve ever seen. I like her, and I’m proud of her excellence.”

Su Yuan did not listen to what Mo Ting said after that. All she heard was, ‘I like her, and I’m proud of her excellence.’ This sentence was like a curse, lingering in her mind and not dissipating. She stood at the door of the bedroom in a daze until the door was pushed open. The warm yellow light immediately illuminated Su Yuan’s entire body.

“Little Yuan?” Mo Ting asked.

“Little Yuan,” Su Qiumeng replied.

The two of them shouted in unison.

Su Yuan snapped out of her daze and lifted her head to meet Mo Ting’s gentle and loving gaze. She was stunned. After a long time, Su Yuan finally came back to her senses and quickly looked away. As she saw Mo Ting walking toward her, her heart began to beat uncontrollably. Su Yuan turned around and ran out of instinct.

“Little Yuan!” Mo Ting chased after her for a few steps before he suddenly thought of something. He turned to Su Qiumeng and said, “Auntie, you should rest early. I’ll go after Little Yuan.”

Su Qiumeng smiled and waved at him, “Little Yuan is thin-skinned, so she must have heard something. Hurry up and go after her!”

Su Yuan did not know why she wanted to run, but she just wanted to run. She ran all the way back to the guest room in the main building. After that, she immediately locked the door, turned on the bathroom light, and rushed in.

When Mo Ting knocked on the door, there was no response. He stood at the door and waited for a long time. Then, he put his hand on the doorknob and went down.

With a ‘click’, the door was stuck. Mo Ting retracted his hand and smiled bitterly, “Do you have to be so guarded against me?”

Then, he thought about it again. In Su Yuan’s heart, he was the kind of scumbag who would mess around with his Secretary in the bathroom of a bar. In an instant, he did not feel good.

“Little Yuan, I have something to say to you.” Mo Ting said as he knocked on Su Yuan’s door.

He had to clear up this misunderstanding no matter what, or he wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight!

In the end, the room was still silent and there was no response at all. She did not even make a sound to him. Mo Ting had no choice as he paced back and forth in frustration.

Suddenly, he thought of something and went straight to the study. After a while, he came back with a piece of paper. He did not knock on the door again, but stuffed the paper through the gap under the door. After that, he squatted there for a while, but he still didn’t hear any sound. He stood up in disappointment and left with a dejected expression.

In the bathroom, Su Yuan soaked her entire body in hot water. With a towel on her head, she stared straight at the ceiling of the bathroom, and the sentence ‘I like her, and I’m proud of her excellence’.

This reminded her of the times when she was with Pei Xifan in her previous life. At that time, she had given up the opportunity to go to college and devoted herself to helping Pei Xifan in his company. In order for him to gain the Pei family’s approval, she had been working hard every day!

At that time, the company was just starting out and there were very few people she could use. She could only take on all of them herself. Every day, she had to deal with the artistes’ affairs and help Pei Xifan come up with plans. She had been sitting alone at her desk for so many nights, typing on the proposal word by word. The long-term high-intensity work had made her body more and more fragile, and she would always catch a cold and fever. Every time, she would go to the hospital alone, with one hand on the drip and the other on the proposal.
