Bai Liu was an initiative lover. When he liked someone, he would be very proactive yet restrained. He would wait for Mo Yao to have breakfast with him and his indifferent smile would soften, as if his eyes were shining brightly, making one feel good just by looking at him. His words became more frequent; he pulled Mo Yao along to get familiarized with his life, wanting to integrate into Mo Yao's daily routine. During noon when Mo Yao was home, Bai Liu would drag him out for lunch together.
The two of them chose restaurants that they both liked, but Bai Liu's affection towards Mo Yao wasn't a form of flattery, rather it was an enjoyable exchange between the two of them. After lunch, he would pull Mo Yao along to take a stroll in his sports car with the wind blowing through, before heading back to the villa. In the evening, he would again drag Mo Yao out for dinner, which made Mo Chen happiest since now he didn't have to serve meals three times a day. The風雲雷電 group secretly marveled at how Bai Liu managed to please Mo Yao.
Mosha was almost alternating between staying home and going out every other day. Sometimes he would head to Sicily Island, sometimes another island, or go out for meetings. During these times, Bai Liu would ask Mo Yao's opinion; if Mo Yao wanted him along, they'd go together, but if not, he wouldn't insist.
Mosha never agreed to bring Bai Liu out with him because whenever he went out it was to deal with mafia affairs, and he didn't trust Bai Liu enough to involve him in those matters.
Bai Liu wasn't like a woman who would nag; instead, he waved goodbye handsomely as Mosha left, welcoming his return, and presenting him with his favorite pastries and tea, making him feel the joy of being awaited. He even went so far as to create little romantic gestures, such as picking roses from the rose garden to give him, which embarrassed Mo Yao. Bai Liu even reminded him not to pick the roses randomly since many varieties only bloomed once every few years and were very precious; otherwise, Ye Wei would kill him.
With the warning in mind, White Willow would deliberately choose some ordinary roses for small romantic gestures. Ink Morning would give him advice and create a lively atmosphere at home. The four of them—Wind, Cloud, Thunder, and Lightning—rarely appeared together because they were usually traveling around the world. At most, only two of them would be in Rome simultaneously. They tended to gather when it was their shared vacation period. Whenever they had free time, they'd drop by at the Ink family residence. When Mu Jue and Mu Ye weren't around, they would relax a bit more, but if those two were home, Wind, Cloud, Thunder, and Lightning wouldn’t dare show up.
Mu Yao was often busy late into the night; when he felt most exhausted, someone would bring him a cup of tea to refresh him or urge him to rest. Mu Yao felt a bit pressured, always feeling somewhat guilty toward that person. He neither liked nor disliked White Willow; he simply wasn't against her. He thought there might be potential for development between them, but currently, no signs were apparent, so the kindness White Willow showed him made him feel pressure. He accepted it with an inexplicable sense of guilt, yet she didn’t seem to be deliberately flattering him—she just said straightforwardly that he was pursuing her.
Mu Yao had never refused her advances; he couldn't help but think about Little White, who also hadn't rejected anyone’s affections. Was it something in his heart Not opposed, with potential for development, yet no signs were evident—yet there was certainly a sense of liking.
From another perspective, it seemed more understandable to grasp Little White's thoughts, but then again, he found her intentions quite perplexing—he couldn't fathom the twists and turns in that person’s heart.
Seeing Black Mask Mu Yao switch masks made White Willow feel even more amazed.
At home, when going out to shop or run errands, he usually didn't wear a mask. However, if he went out for business dealings, he would definitely don the familiar Mafia patriarch’s mask. White Willow found it fascinating and wanted one too; Ink Morning had a researcher make her a similar mask. As soon as she wore it, Mu Yao recognized it right away. White Willow was puzzled: "Why can you tell"
"A professional." Mo Yao said, Bai Liu felt embarrassed; so he was an amateur.
Mo Yao had to go to Berlin for a few days due to a deal, and it would take about a week for the round trip. Bai Liu basically covered Rome by foot already, as several of his paintings were created in Berlin, hence he asked Mo Yao if he wanted him to accompany him.
Mo Yao originally didn’t want to bring him along, yet Bai Liu’s calm and disappointed expression made him compromise. Without the painting, Bai Liu had been talking about it for days; therefore, Mo Yao thought that taking him along would be fine.
Bai Liu agreed with Mo Yao, promising he'd go his separate way once they got off the plane. He had already booked a hotel and would contact Mo Yao when he was returning to call him over. Mo Yao knew Bai Liu wasn’t an ordinary person; he was perceptive and skilled, so he believed that there wouldn't be any problems with him going alone.
Before boarding the plane, Mo Chen had some hesitations, “Brother, have you made up your mind to take him along”
Mo Yao nodded. He had thought this matter through thoroughly. Mo Chen said, "I know that you're happy when you’re with him, but boss, I feel like there's something off about the kid. It’s a warning from an excellent intelligence officer’s instincts.
Moyao glanced at him with a faint expression, "Since I was young, when have you ever had intuition without me being on guard"
Mochen felt choked for a moment. Big bro, do you really need to be so discouraging
But this was truly the plain truth.
Fine then, since big bro has his measure of things and feels that bringing such a charming person won't cause any hindrance, there's no need for him to worry.
Baio’s mood could be described as calm; this kid was always surprisingly composed. He had only shown happiness when Moyao agreed at that moment. From boarding the plane until he got off it, he didn’t speak much, pulling on Moyao to talk about his past experiences instead, not mentioning why he came to Berlin or why Yun who followed him looked so grave. Immersed in his own joy, Baio had all questions answered by Moyao, and their atmosphere was very pleasant.
Berlin was the capital of Germany, with colorful and majestic architecture everywhere. Ancient cathedrals, various museums, and towering skyscrapers were ubiquitous; the feeling was akin to Rome but more substantial than it. Rivers flowed within the city, making for beautiful scenery. The Friedrichstrasse Square in Baroque style bustled with people, while magnificent palaces and spectacular theaters dazzled visitors. Upon entering Berlin, one could immediately feel its historical weight and modern grandeur, a blend of classical romance and rigorousness—a city renowned for culture.ar Wen Jing to him.What should he doTo give him a glimmer of hope only to dash it immediatelyThe doctors' conclusion shattered Ye Tianyu's hopes once more.
