Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

main gate and dialed for a taxi.
She arrived at Bole Villa and was still in the car when she saw Mr Gu’s car from afar.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom was leaving the villa.

Ah, Mr Gu had come back!

Where was he going to now?

Was he going to A University to celebrate her birthday with her?

Tang Mo’er’s eyes were sparkling.
Should she not give him a surprise, in this case?

“Driver, please follow the luxurious car in front.”

…

The taxi came to a halt.
Tang Mo’er alighted from the car.

She raised her eyes and glanced.
It was not A University.
It was a western restaurant with a very nice ambiance.

She stood outside and peered through the full-length window.
Gu Mohan gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Jun Xiyan, and after that he sat down gracefully.
He undid the buttons on his black cashmere coat, passed it to the waiter, and waited for the waiter to bring over the menu.

It was unsure what Jun Xiyan was talking to him about, and he was listening to her.
The light in the restaurant was muted, and there was a red lighted candle on the table.
This was a romantic candlelight dinner.

The flickering flame illuminated both their faces, which appeared warm and harmonious.

Tang Mo’er startled.
She dazedly looked at Gu Mohan having dinner with Jun Xiyan.

Had he forgotten that it was her birthday today?

He had promised that he would celebrate her birthday with her.

Hadn’t he terminated the marriage contract with Jun Xiyan?

If not, then, what was she?

It was as if a tub of cold water had drenched Tang Mo’er from head to toe and extinguished all her sweet dreams.

At this moment, there was a growling sound.
Her stomach was growling.

She was hungry.

It was already nine o’clock at night.
She had been waiting for him and had not eaten anything all day.
So now her stomach growling awkwardly.

Through the full-length window, she could see the romantic candlelight, the steak and red wine.
While outside, she was here braving the cold wind, alone and desolate.

Tang Mo’er stood outside looking at them for a very long time, then turned around to return to A University.

…

At the hostel.

Tang Mo’er picked up her chopsticks and started to eat her sweet glutinous dumplings.
The dumplings had been soaked in water for too long and had turned icy-cold.

She was famished and thus, she ate one dumpling.

The sweet red bean filling of the dumpling entered her mouth.
Actually, it was not as sweet as she had thought it would be.
It tasted dreadful.

She put down her chopsticks and sat alone in front of the cake.
She lit the candle on the cake.

There was a sound as she turned off the lights in the hostel.
She sat in front of the cake, put her palms together, closed her eyes and began to make a wish.

But, she did not know what to wish for.

She had neither a mother nor a home.
She thought she had Mr Gu, but now Mr Gu was no more.

She suddenly realized that she did not have anything to wish for on her 22nd birthday.

The light from the candle made her shadow look elongated.
It was all quiet around her.
There was no one to wish her a happy birthday.
It was so quiet.

Her 22nd birthday was spent so quietly.

She was forgotten by the entire world.

She opened her eyes and blew all the candles.
She reached out to pick a piece of cake and placed it into her mouth.
She ate a piece of her own cake for her 22nd birthday.

It was really very quiet.

She could even hear a pin drop onto the floor.

“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Mo’er…”

She sang herself a birthday song in a quiet voice.
After singing, she clapped for herself, but soon after, she felt a bitter taste in her mouth.
She stretched her hand out to touch.
There were tears all over her face.

The flame from the candle went out.
It was pitch black before her.

Like that, Tang Mo’er spent her 22nd birthday crying in the darkness.
