"That was before. I'm not like that now. How can I get into trouble easily without anyone to protect me?"

Mo Wenchu ​​originally thought that her words would make Gu Jue feel distressed, but unexpectedly the other party just smiled disdainfully, and then said leisurely: "If you really thought so, you wouldn't rush out to expose them today.

"

If she really wanted to keep a low profile, Mo Wenchu ​​could have pretended not to hear, but she didn't do that. Instead, she appeared in the pavilion carelessly. It was precisely because of this that Gu Jue did not listen to her words.

.

With a helpless shrug, Mo Wenchu ​​drank the last bit of soup base in the bowl. When she looked up, Gu Jue had already handed over the tissue.

"From now on, I will protect you."

After a pause, Mo Wenchu ​​took the tissue hesitantly, "Can you do it?"

"You don't believe me that much?"

"Not really, it's just between the two of us..."

Judging from Mo Wenchu's expression, Gu Jue had already understood what she was going to say next, so he quickly interrupted, "Don't mention that matter, we had an agreement before."

Mo Wenchu ​​nodded, "I know."

"It's getting late, go back upstairs and rest."

Gu Jue didn't want to continue this topic, so he stood up and said to Mo Wenchu.

"okay."

After putting the dishes in the kitchen, Mo Wenchu ​​returned to the bedroom upstairs.

Most of the time, she and Gu Jue slept in separate rooms. Gu Jue slept in the guest bedroom nearby, while she slept in the spacious master bedroom.

It was the same today. After returning to the bedroom, Mo Wenchu ​​washed and prepared to rest as usual. However, when she was drowsy, she was suddenly awakened by the ringing of the phone.

He almost closed his eyes and took out his phone, "Hello?"

"Miss……"

Hearing the familiar voice, Mo Wenchu ​​sat up suddenly, "Zhao Yi, is it you, right? Where are you now?"

"Don't tell David that I called you. I'm in Africa now and it's relatively safe. Don't worry, I will return to China when the time is right."

"What happened? Why did you go to Africa again?"

Mo Wenchu ​​lowered her voice and said.

"This matter can't be explained in a few words, but miss, you must be careful about Shao Yi. If you can't survive alone, let Gu Jue help you. He is a person you can trust."

"Shao Yi?" Mo Wenchu's thoughts were a little messy, "Zhao Yi, tell me first if there is anything you can do to help?"

"No, protect yourself, it's time for me to hang up."

"Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi..."

Amidst Mo Wenchu's calls, a busy signal came from the phone.

The phone card Zhao Yi used should be a one-time phone card. Such a phone card does not require real-name registration. At the same time, it is difficult to track the location information. Therefore, when Mo Wenchu ​​called back, the number had become empty.

.

Sitting on the bed dejectedly holding her cell phone, Mo Wenchu ​​repeatedly thought about what Zhao Yi said on the phone just now——

don't tell david

Be careful Shao Yi

And, Gu Jue is a trustworthy person

What Mo Wenchu ​​couldn't understand the most was the first and third items.

A year ago, David accompanied Zhao Yi to Africa to deal with matters. They were chased and intercepted by armed men there, and they almost died together in Africa. The two of them had a life-long friendship, but now Zhao Yi refused to let her return him.

The news that he was alive was told to David. As for Gu Jue, according to Mo Wenchu's memory, Zhao Yi had never had a very good impression of Gu Jue, but now he took the initiative to tell him that Gu Jue was a trustworthy person. This was not only somewhat unexpected by Mo Wenchu

Anticipate.

The night was getting darker, and Mo Wenchu ​​was lying on the bed, turning sideways and unable to sleep.

When she woke up the next day, she had obvious dark circles under her eyes. When she drove to the dining table, Gu Jue subconsciously raised his eyes and narrowed his eyes slightly after seeing her exaggerated face, "I didn't get a good rest last night.

?”

Mo Wenchu ​​nodded in a daze, "Yeah."

"What's wrong?"

"A little uncomfortable." Mo Wenchu ​​was still not sure whether she could tell Gu Jue that Zhao Yi called her last night.

Worried that Gu Jue would ask more questions, Mo Wenchu ​​continued, "But it's okay now."

Gu Jue heard this and continued to eat with his head down, "Next week is the anniversary of your alma mater, Haicheng University. They sent the invitation letter to the company. Do you want to attend?"

"I want to go, of course I want to."

Mo Wenchu ​​has been frustrated by being bored at home all this time. Now that there is fun to join in, she is naturally willing to do so.

In the next week, Mo Wenchu ​​almost looked forward to the school anniversary.

Haicheng University is a century-old university in China with a rich history and many outstanding alumni. However, there is only one star artist, Mo Wenchu.

Mo Wenchu ​​graduated from the Chinese Department of Haicheng University. The School of Liberal Arts of Haicheng University is the most prestigious literary paradise in China.

Mo Wenchu ​​was Mo Changshan's designated heir. She was supposed to go to the United States to study financial comics. Seeing that Mo Wenchu ​​was rebellious at that time and insisted on staying in the country, she finally took the college entrance examination against Mo's father's wishes and secretly chose her choice.

Although Mo Wenchu ​​became a complete fool after entering college, her scores in the college entrance examination were real.

Haicheng University's anniversary event used Mo Wenchu ​​as the promotion point, and it has been on the hot search list many times, but this incident has attracted the attention of some people with evil intentions.

These people raised questions on the Internet, feeling that Mo Wenchu ​​had falsified her college entrance examination results and that the procedures for entering Haicheng University were irregular.

Although what Mo Wenchu ​​has done during this period has somewhat reversed some people's stereotypes about her, her previous image was too bad, which caused these doubts to ferment quickly on the Internet, and even

Someone made a real-name report to the education department, demanding a thorough investigation of Mo Wenchu's grades.

After Mo Wenchu ​​understood the ins and outs of the matter, she calmly selected a dress in the cloakroom.

"Gu Jue, doesn't this one feel too grand?" Mo Wenchu ​​casually picked up a burgundy evening dress and carefully gestured in front of the mirror.

"You're really not worried at all." Gu Jue put the phone on the shelf beside him, and fiddled with several dresses in front of him with his knuckled fingers, and finally picked out a black knitted silk spliced ​​dress, "

this."

"What do I have to worry about? I am upright and not afraid of slanted shadows. Those are the scores I have worked so hard to get, and they will not be canceled just because of their doubts."

Mo Wenchu ​​took the dress Gu Jue had chosen and looked at it for a few times before nodding and saying, "This one is really good. Then you go out first and I'll change it and try it on."
