Be in low spirits

He washed his face, shaved his beard, put on his pajamas, and called his mother on the second floor. It was the first time Jiang Yunran saw him like this. He looked like a young man who was just beginning to fall in love.

Ye's mother went upstairs and was pulled into the room by him. He pointed at the clothes on the bed and asked, "Mom, I'm going to see Luo Luo tomorrow. What do you think I should wear?"

"Xingzhi... Luoluo has already..." Mother Ye knew that her son was always thinking about Gu Jinluo, but she also knew that she was married, and thought that if she kept Yun Ran, he might be able to accept it.

"Black? No, the weather is hot. How about a long gown? Or just a shirt?" Ye Fan didn't care about other people's opinions at all. He only knew that he was going to date his beloved girl tomorrow.

"Don't you usually wear a military uniform?" Seeing her son's decadent appearance over the years, Ye's mother felt distressed.

"No, Luoluo said the military uniform is disgusting. What do you think about me wearing a shirt? She will definitely wear a cheongsam tomorrow. Wouldn't a cheongsam with a long gown be more suitable?"

"Pair it with a shirt. A long gown is more suitable with a student uniform. Xingzhi, if you can't force it, just say goodbye politely." Ye's mother knew that he had not let it go, but she also knew that she could not persuade him.

Ye Fan stopped what he was doing. Those words really hurt his ears. Say goodbye properly? Even when he was injured and lost his memory, he could still think about the pocket watch for a long time. Now that he remembered, he wanted him to say goodbye?

Mother Ye stood up, hugged him and said, "Mom knows that you have worked hard over the years, but, Xingzhi, things are unpredictable, don't force it."

"What if I insist?" He couldn't understand. His third uncle had already abdicated and the president had changed. Why couldn't the Gu and Ye families get married?

"Xingzhi, you've grown up and are no longer a child. Don't be so obsessed with certain things that it only makes you suffer." Ye's mother knew his character well. He would not easily give up on things or people he had determined. She only hoped that the person he would meet tomorrow would be able to make him let go.

Ye Fan waited at the park gate early in the morning, looking at his watch from time to time.

The secretary was waiting at the door of Gu Jinluo's room early in the morning and said, "Master Lang called and said that the employees of the department store were on strike and wanted to ask you to come over."

She hurriedly changed her clothes and rushed over. Employees were holding banners and protesting at the door of the department store, demanding a pay raise.

Gu Lang stood at the door and waved his hands, asking everyone to be quiet. The manager behind him saw Gu Jinluo and went up to explain to her that the employees were asking for a pay raise, and he had been suppressing the matter, but he couldn't, so the employees went on strike.

Gu Jinluo looked the manager up and down, pointed at the main door of the department store, and said, "Open the door, I'll talk to the office."

The manager quickly used his key to open the door and led her to his office, which was filled with many gift boxes. He explained sheepishly, "These are all leftovers from the store's events."

Gu Jinluo gave a look to the secretary behind him, and the secretary stepped forward and opened the two boxes, both of which were filled with things.

The manager wiped the stool with his sleeve and invited her to sit down. She looked around the office again. Although the place was not big, there were a lot of things piled up.

She pointed at the manager with her round fan and asked, "What's your name?"

"Ah, my last name is Huang." He answered with a slight bow.

"Manager Huang, call the accountant over, and bring the account books and the employees' salary receipts."

"Ms. Gu, I'm the accountant. I'll get the account books for you." He took out the key from the drawer, opened the safe at the back, took out a few account books and handed them on the table.

Gu Jinluo tapped the account book with his fan and glanced at Manager Huang. Manager Huang nodded, then remembered the salary slips for his employees and started looking for them again.

After finding it, she didn't rush to look through it. She asked her secretary to take the notebook where the employees received their wages, walked to the door of the office and said, "Since there is no problem, let's go and confront them face to face."

Manager Huang got anxious when he heard this! He said, "Miss Gu, there are so many people making trouble outside. If you get hurt again, can't Master Lang calm them down outside?"

Now she probably understood that the accountant had cooked the books and withheld employees' wages.

"Manager Huang, tell me, why did you take so much money?"

"Ms. Gu, my mother is sick and my wife doesn't have much income. The whole family depends on my salary. I really can't support them!" Manager Huang said with tears and snot.

"My brother must trust you very much. He didn't even suspect you for falsifying the accounts and even included the employees' wages. How did you do that?"

The secretary dragged a stool out of the office for her to sit on.

"Foreign company." The manager knew that he could not hide what happened today, so he could only admit his mistake.

"Manager Huang, if everyone is like you, how can my Gu family business continue?"

"Ms. Gu, I know I was wrong, but... I really had no choice."

"Employees' wages must always be paid. As for the kickbacks from the material suppliers, I won't bother with you. Secretary Zhao, send the man to the police station." She originally thought that the matter would be very difficult, but now it seems that it can be solved with money.

After explaining the whole story to Gu Lang and comforting the striking employees, it was already past eleven o'clock. She asked Secretary Zhao to send some money to Manager Huang's family. Gu Lang invited her to have dinner, but she refused. When they arrived at the park, Ye Fan was still there.

She was just very angry, sitting on the chair without saying a word. The guard followed from a distance, she stood in front of him holding an umbrella, looking around, there were not many people in the park.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" I thought he had gone back, but he was still waiting here stupidly.

"If you don't want to see me you can just say so. Do you have to tease me like this?" I don't know if it was because of the sun or anger, but his face was a little red and he spoke in an angry tone.

"Okay, I don't want to see you." Gu Jinluo nodded and prepared to leave.

Ye Fan grabbed her hand, held her in his arms, and said, "I was wrong."

Gu Jinluo's umbrella fell to the ground. The guard didn't know whether he should go forward or not, so he could only walk forward at his normal walking speed.

After a long time, Gu Jinluo said, "General Ye, please respect yourself."

The guard picked up the umbrella on the ground and silently retreated to a certain distance.

"Luoluo, I haven't written such a letter. I was injured and lost my memory. I can't remember many things, so I didn't contact you. You can blame me however you want, but can you please not refuse to see me?" He refused to let go and just wanted to explain everything that happened in the past so that they could put aside their past grudges.

"Let me go first." It doesn't matter whether he wrote it or not. She has a husband, property, and responsibilities, so she probably can't go back to Beijing.

"I won't let go, you have to promise me first." Ye Fan was like a child, just hoping that she would change her mind.

"Ye Xingzhi!" The weather was already hot, and it got even hotter when she was hugged. She couldn't help but get a little angry.

Hearing her yell, he shuddered slightly and let her go, pursed his lips, lowered his head, and dared not speak.

Gu Jinluo took a deep breath and said, "Let's talk while we walk." She glanced at the guard behind her, and the guard ran over and handed her an umbrella.

"No need to follow me, just go back to the hotel first." She took the umbrella and told the guards.

"Miss...this..." The guards looked at Ye Fan next to them. They only knew that this person had an unusual identity, but they didn't know his specific official position.

"With General Ye here, nothing will happen." Gu Jinluo added.

The guards went back after receiving the order.

Ye Fan's stomach growled. She looked at him, and he turned his face away, pretending nothing had happened.

"Let's find a place to eat." She didn't have lunch either.

"Okay." He ran over with a smile on his face and wanted to hold her hand. She glared at him and he pulled his hand back angrily.

"I really haven't written any letter to break off the engagement, and I've written you many letters, but you didn't reply. Later, I got hurt and I don't remember a lot of things." He wanted to explain every detail clearly.

"Since I'm injured, the military doctor must be by my side to take care of me, so I have no way to repay him except to establish a relationship with him." She still remembered the contents of the letter, and since she wanted to make it clear, she would just lay it out.

"What?" Ye Fan didn't understand what she said. How could he be unable to repay her and become associated with her?

"Ye Xingzhi, whether you are a military doctor or a reporter, it has nothing to do with me. You will have your wife, and I already have my husband."

Ye Fan closed his eyes and thought about the meaning of her words. It seemed that she still didn't understand why he had to see her.

"You are my only wife, Gu Jinluo! There is no military doctor or reporter, only you! Gu Jinluo! Only you can be Mrs. Ye." He pulled her umbrella and threw it away, repeating impatiently.

Gu Jinluo looked at him with a frown. Why was he still the same as before, impulsive and persistent?

"I said I have a sir..." she repeated again.

Ye Fan stretched out his hands to hold her face, and suddenly kissed her lips, domineeringly and heavily.
