She continued, "When that person clung to me, I called you right away... I kept stalling for time, but you never showed up..."
What was she even saying? How did it end up with her tone turning into blaming him? She was saved by him, how could she blame him for being late?
"What I mean is, I’m glad you arrived in the end, otherwise I couldn’t have escaped... Anyway, I’m really thankful to you for this time..."
Mo Ran felt she had no backbone, going to the nightclub to dance because she was in a bad mood, and her mood was bad all because of him.
He rescued her and that should have settled it; why should she have to thank him?
But the moment she saw his dark, grim face, she couldn’t help wanting to say softening words. She didn’t want to provoke him; otherwise, the consequences would be severe.
"Why was your phone off?" Gu Yixuan suddenly asked.
"Didn’t I tell you? The phone ran out of battery..."
After a brief silence, he said indifferently, "I didn’t deliberately arrive late."
Gu Yixuan frowned slightly, his voice betraying impatience, "I said I didn’t deliberately arrive late! I was late because you didn’t tell me which nightclub you were at."
Mo Ran blinked, finally realizing that he was explaining himself to her.
"I did tell you, I said ’Perfume’ nightclub." She was sure she had said it, absolutely sure.
Gu Yixuan cast her a fleeting glance, his gaze somewhat piercing, and he fell silent as if holding back on something.
Mo Ran, of course, smartly chose not to speak either. Find the newest release on novel{f}ire.net
But she really had said it...
The car drove straight to the villa in Banshan Garden. Seeing that familiar villa, Mo Ran’s heart plummeted.
"I said I would move in tomorrow; why are you bringing me here now?" she asked in a deep voice, clearly unwilling to get out of the car.
"What difference does it make whether you come over tomorrow or tonight?" Gu Yixuan answered her coldly.
For some reason, the atmosphere between them had softened somewhat on the road earlier, but the moment they returned here, one became guarded and cold, and the other domineering and assertive.
Between them, they had returned to their previous state of drawn swords and ready crossbows.
Mo Ran pursed her lips and said nothing.
He said it didn’t matter, but to her, it made a big difference; the less time she could spend here, the more relaxed she would be.
"You’ll move in tonight, and I will have someone fetch your luggage tomorrow. If you don’t want to move in, you can go back on your own."
