Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

There wasn't a speck of dust on the wooden floor, and the bookshelves on both sides were neatly arranged. On the large desk in the middle, water glasses and other items were also placed in a pleasingly disorderly manner.

Thinking about it this way, what happened outside just now...

The girl, whom the young master usually carries, is probably the one who cleans the corridor.

Yu Zhe, who was holding Mo Lingyun, was a little worried. This room was actually an office, so apart from the long sofa in the middle, there was really no other place to put anything.

There was nothing else Yu Zhe could do but walk over and put her on the sofa.

Even after she put her hand down, she still clung tightly to Yu Zhe's sleeve.

"Brother Yuzhe really came..."

"Didn't you just confirm it? Why are you still staring at me? Am I that good-looking?" Yu Zhe joked at the right moment.

Although Mo Lingyun was smiling, her answer was very serious: "He really is that good-looking... Brother Yuzhe is the most handsome, even more handsome than when he was a child."

"..."

I really hope you're joking.

Looking at it this way, Yun'er's style is really the same as when she was a child: a long black and white shirt and black hair accessories, which gives her a cool vibe.

“Let’s not talk about that.” Yu Zhe steered the conversation back on track. “So, Yun’er, what are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you before that you were going to stay in that little village before I brought you out?”

"yes…"

Mo Lingyun seemed to be recalling something: "But my stepmother in the small village just passed away, and I can't stay there hiding any longer... Of course, most importantly..."

She gripped Yu Zhe's hand tightly again: "Most importantly... Brother Yu Zhe, I miss you... You said you'd pick me up, but it's been ten years. I know running away like this will cause you trouble, but I really... really can't wait any longer. If I have to wait another ten years, I think it might be easier to just die..."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't say that word."

Yu Zhe quickly interrupted her: "There are still many joys in life, and I don't remember you being such a pessimistic child, Yun'er."

"Mmm, seeing Brother Yuzhe made me realize how wonderful it is to be alive. Ahh... I'm so greedy, even though I didn't care before."

Seriously, I used to think that life or death didn't matter, but now that Brother Yu Zhe is standing here, the word "death" has completely disappeared from Mo Lingyun's mind. Living well is just so wonderful!

"Huh? Something's not right." Mo Lingyun was too excited to react in time. "Brother Yuzhe, are you calling me Yun'er? Don't you need to call me Yun'er now?"

Yun'er is the name she used to disguise her identity, while Yun'er is her real name.

Brother Yu Zhe clearly instructed me before that I should use the name Mo Lingyun when I'm out in public.

Yu Zhe shook his head and said, "Although it's not entirely unnecessary... I don't like you using a pseudonym. I prefer things to be real. As for you, do you feel uncomfortable if I use the name Yun'er?"

Back when she was in the Mo family, Yun'er's parents committed suicide because of internal strife... Then Yun'er herself was expelled from the family and even had to hide. If it weren't for Yu Zhe's help, she probably wouldn't have survived.

Therefore, the name Mo Lingyun carries many childhood memories she doesn't want to recall now from her time in the Mo family.

But when asked about this, she simply shook her head.

"Whether it's Mo Lingyun or Mo Lingyun, it all depends on what Brother Yuzhe wants to call me. Whatever you want me to be called, that's what I'll call myself."

Her left eye, which wasn't covered, shimmered with light and shadow, and her adoration was overflowing.

These words meant that she had completely entrusted herself to Yu Zhe.

Ke Yuzhe still smiled and said, "Don't worry about what I think, I still want to see what you want to call yourself."

She thought for a moment and slowly replied, "Then let's keep Mo Lingyun. That's what you used to call me, Brother Yu Zhe, and I don't like fake names."

"Just as I thought."

Having confirmed this, Yu Zhe planned to ask a few questions.

Knowing the answers to these questions is essential to controlling the situation.

"Yun'er, I understand all of this, and I understand why you didn't stay in that small village anymore. But you still haven't answered my question from earlier: why did you appear here and buy this comic book publishing house?"

"Because Brother Yuzhe, you published comics here."

"Just because of that?"

"Yes."

Mo Lingyun explained, "After I left the small village, I was thinking of ways to contact you, but I couldn't go directly to the Su family because that might cause you trouble, so I had to find another way."

“I think we can start with your interests, like comics… Hehe, actually I was pretty lucky. One day in a bookstore, I happened to see your comics, and the cover had the publisher’s name on it.”

"How did you know that I drew it?"

"Hmph, Brother Yu Zhe, you underestimate Yun'er. Putting aside your pen name, 'Little Zhe in the Rain,' which is so easy to recognize, and your gentle style of painting, the painting you gave me when I was little, is forever engraved in my heart. I will never forget it. I recognized it at a glance."

alright…

"But what about the funding?" Yu Zhe asked. "This comic book publishing house isn't big, but it's not small either. Where did your funding come from?"

"Hmm? It's the money you gave me before you left after you arranged for me to go to that little village, right, Brother Yu Zhe? You've forgotten?"

Of course I haven't forgotten.

But that money was meant for you to use in case of an emergency.

So you bought this?

57. But you're most afraid of the dark (Bonus Chapter)

"Hey... I didn't give you that money to use like this. Don't you think that even if you buy this company, you'll most likely still not be able to contact me?"

"But isn't Brother Yuzhe standing right here?"

Hehehe, I've already made contact.

"..."

What a clever little devil.

Originally, Mo Lingyun had been holding the money Yu Zhe had given her, but she didn't know what to do with it. Naturally, she wouldn't miss the chance to gamble on contacting Yu Zhe.

Yu Zhe checked his phone and saw several messages from Zi Xiao. It was already quite late, past seven o'clock. He hadn't originally planned to come to Yun'er's place today.

So Yu Zhe sent Zi Xiao a message saying that he would be back a little later, around eight o'clock.

This means we need to speak quickly here, so as not to worry Zixiao and the others.

"Brother Yuzhe... are you texting your girlfriend?"

"what?"

While Yu Zhe was replying to Zi Xiao's message, Mo Lingyun waited obediently on the side without looking at Yu Zhe's phone screen.

Her question was indeed quite sudden.

Yu Zhe, just tell the truth about this.

"What are you talking about? I don't have a girlfriend."

"Hmm? No girlfriend?" Mo Lingyun laughed. "Hmm, but it's definitely just that I don't have a girlfriend. I know very well how charming Brother Yuzhe is."

After all, she could see the relaxed expression on Yu Zhe's face when he replied to the message.

Not having a girlfriend doesn't mean there aren't girls around.

In response, Mo Lingyun laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. Yun'er was the first one to meet Brother Yu Zhe, um... besides Sister Yu Che. So, as long as Brother Yu Zhe is still willing to accept me, no matter how many girls are around you now, I will try my best."

"What you're saying..."

Yu Zhe felt that Yun'er had changed so much in the past ten years. She didn't seem to have such a strong desire to win before, at least not on the surface.

"So, Brother Yuzhe... who were you messaging just now?"

See? His desire to win is simply impossible to hide!

Yu Zhe briefly told her about Zi Xiao, something Mo Lingyun was unaware of.

"Oh... I see. Brother Yuzhe, you have another little sister. Ten years have passed, and you've really changed a lot..."

“Yes.” Yu Zhe sighed, “Ten years can change a lot. You’ve suffered a lot in these ten years.”

“I don’t feel wronged at all.”

Mo Lingyun still held onto Yu Zhe's arm: "Every time I think about seeing you one day, I feel that life is wonderful."

Yu Zhe doesn't quite understand... If you put all your motivation in one person, will you really feel that life is good?

But now, looking into Mo Lingyun's eyes, the overflowing happiness seemed to be the joy of all her wishes from the past ten years coming true.

What an adorable child…

Yu Zhe couldn't help but gently stroke her head and ask, "What are your plans next?"

Mo Lingyun answered decisively: "I will stay here. It's not time for me to leave yet. If the Mo family finds out, it may have a negative impact on the Su family."

"Because of your 20% stake in the Mohist school?"

"Yes, Brother Yuzhe, you still remember?"

"Of course," Yu Zhe sighed. "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have needed to hide you away in the first place..."

Whenever this topic comes up, it makes Mo Lingyun very anxious: "Isn't the time right yet? Brother Yuzhe, I don't need these shares, I don't want any of them. I just want to see Brother Yuzhe."

"It's not that simple..."

Yu Zhe shook his head helplessly: "Didn't I tell you before? Yes, you can give up these shares and hand them all over to the Mo family, but so what?"

"You think that as the only daughter of the previous head of the Mo family, and because those people in the Mo family indirectly caused the death of your parents, you have a deep-seated hatred for them. In fact, you are a potential threat to them. Even if you sign the share transfer agreement, do you think they will let you go?"

“They’re not stupid. They know you and I had a good relationship when we were kids. They’ll think that this former little princess of the Mo family might join forces with the Su family to make a comeback and take revenge on the current Mo family.”

Finally, Yu Zhe concluded: "So, Yun'er, you should hold onto these shares first. They are the last bargaining chips your parents gave you before they passed away. Trust me, I already know what I'm doing."

"Brother Yuzhe..."

Mo Lingyun sat up straight and assured him, "Brother Yuzhe, don't worry, Yun'er will listen to you."

"Mmm, you're so obedient."

This made Yu Zhe a little uncomfortable, because Yu Zhe had a good memory and still remembered her from before. The little princess who used to be unruly and often unreasonable was now as docile as a kitten, nestled against Yu Zhe's chest.

Even Lu Yao, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but twitch her eyebrows.

"You live here now?"

Yu Zhe was just about to ask this question.

The answer was affirmative: "Yes, it's quiet here, and a good place to hide."
