Chapter 1420: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (93)
Scarlet Cafe was the place where Mo Hai and Li Shu had first confessed their love for each other.
Mo Hai, in his youth, had gotten down on a bent knee to pledge his love in this cafe, and later, he had asked for her hand there.
One could say that their best memories together were in this cafe of literary reputation.
The cafe’s interior was decorated with a classical theme. There were all sorts of books on the shelves. This was a cafe, but also a bookstore of sorts.
One could browse through the books while having a coffee here.
Li Shu loved books and would often go there.
She had the aura of an elegant and knowledgeable woman.
Whereas Mo Hai, he was a typical businessman.
He also had the symptoms of rich second-generation businessman heirs, which were a general disinterest in academia and getting a splitting headache just by seeing a book.
However when he was pursuing Li Shu, he had spent three whole years holed up in this cafe keeping her company.
Mo Hai was an exemplary rich second-generation heir, a playboy.
Initially, Li Shu had treated him with disdain and rejected him. But eventually she was moved by his persistence, although she hadn’t trusted him very much.
The two of them went through many hardships before Li Shu agreed to be with him.
For the sake of pursuing this woman, Mo Hai had changed himself a lot. Furthermore, when he proposed to Li Shu, he had promised not to entangle himself with other women again.
One could write an epic love story about their youth romance.
And it was also because of the two of them that the Scarlet had become famous throughout Beijing.
The cafe was also nicknamed the Matchmaker’s Cafe. Countless couples of lovers had chosen this place to pledge their love to each other.
Right now, Li Shu and Mo Hai were in this shop that they used to frequent.
Mo Hai had already bought the place and it was now part of the Mo family estate.
Hence the management of this cafe had not changed a bit. It still maintained the same classical interior that it had had twenty years ago.
Li Shu ordered a coffee at the front desk and found a seat at the balcony. Next to her was her shelf and on it, a few of her favorite books.
Mo Hai sat opposite her and surveyed their surroundings. It stirred his emotions deeply.
All these years, he had come to this place by himself on countless occasions. He had wished he could go back in time with her but he sat there alone, making no progress.
But now, Li Shu was here. Things were a little different.
He had not expected that she would want to have a chat with him here.
Since she had chosen this place, could it mean that she had not forgotten their past?
At this thought, Mo Hai hesitated and threw a glance at her. He couldn’t help but lower his head quickly after this. With fear and trepidation, he finally spoke in an anxious tone, “Li Shu, what did you want to chat about?”
Li Shu paused for a moment and then started, “I wanted to talk to you about Mo Zhi and Mo Xicheng.”
Immediately, Mo Hai started to explain, “I’ve never acknowledged Mo Xicheng as my son. I only recognize Mo Zhi as my son, the son that you bore me.”
Li Shu made a gesture to stop Mo Hai from speaking further. She continued, “All these years, I have failed Mo Zhi. I only realized it today because of what has happened.”
She lifted her gaze and looked at the man with a serious expression. She said these surprising words, “Mo Hai, will you promise me one thing?”
Mo Hai nodded immediately, “I can promise you even a hundred things, not to mention one.”
Li Shu fell silent for some time before she said, “Give the Mo family’s estate on to Mo Xicheng.”
