The hallway’s motion sensor light suddenly went out, and Mo Ran was severely startled because the man had just looked up, his dark eyes like a fierce beast in the night, staring at her.
She didn’t know how much courage it took for her not to turn and flee on the spot.
The outside light filtered through the railing-like wall, casting half of him in shadow and half in light, which made him look somewhat terrifying.
Mo Ran clenched her hands nervously, lifted her foot, and stamped it down hard, and the light came back on.
The feeling of suffocation and terror from just moments before vanished...
The man was still staring at her, not blinking at all, as if he had been in that position for a long time.
To his side was a row of empty walls, and with just a slight glance down, one could see the scene below.
Mo Ran observed him for a few seconds before asking, "Why are you here?"
She now felt like a mouse confronting a cat, terrified and tense at the sight of Gu Yixuan.
Gu Yixuan spoke indifferently, "Are you with Tang Song now?"
She hadn’t expected him to ask this. Mo Ran looked down and said, "That’s none of your business."
"How can it not be my business? You are my woman. Without my permission, you can’t be with other men on your own," his voice was very calm, but Mo Ran always felt it was the quiet before the storm.
"I’m no longer your woman. I’ve told you, I’ve paid back everything I owe you; I have no reason to continue being your woman. Gu Yixuan, I don’t like being with you at all, I really hate you. If you have any sense, you’ll stop bothering me." She was forced to utter these harsh, hurtful words.
If she didn’t speak this way, he certainly wouldn’t let her go. She thought, this man has power and status; he must really care about face and pride. Deliberately making it sound this way, surely for the sake of his dignity, he wouldn’t trouble her further.
Gu Yixuan scoffed coldly, his gaze icy, "Mo Ran, I think you’re mistaken. You never had the right to call off this game from the start. Haven’t you figured that out by now?"
"What game? I don’t understand! It’s only a game in your eyes, but it’s a nightmare to me. You want to continue the game; I refuse to play along, because I don’t want to endure any more nightmares!"
"A nightmare?" he chuckled softly, his smile carrying a deadly wickedness. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs NoveI-Fire.ɴet
