Hearing Tang Song say this, Mo Ran’s heart grew even more distressed and guilty. He was so kind to her, so anxious for her, yet she, without regard for his feelings, had returned to Gu Yixuan’s side...
"I’m sorry, Tang Song..." The person who should apologize was her, "We really aren’t suitable for each other, let’s not contact each other anymore."
"You owe me an explanation, I don’t want to hear the excuse that we’re not suitable. If you want to break off contact with me, say it to my face and make it clear!"
"There’s no need, we don’t need to meet!" Mo Ran looked at Gu Yixuan, seeing his face darken, she knew she had to make it quick, or she would annoy him.
"Tang Song, I have returned to Gu Yixuan’s side, we have no future, goodbye!" With a heavy heart, she hung up the phone and collapsed onto the sofa, feeling completely drained.
Only now did she realize that she truly cared about Tang Song, she had begun to like him. But this budding affection had been brutally stifled by Gu Yixuan, how could she not feel heartbroken and distressed.
There really was no hope left, she would no longer have the right to own and enjoy happiness...
Suddenly, her chin was lifted by someone’s hand, Gu Yixuan’s dark eyes stared at her as he sneered, "What, does it hurt? Do you find it hard to let him go?"
Mo Ran shook her head faintly, "No."
"Really?" He leaned in closer to her, his gaze dark and threatening, "Mo Ran, I’m giving you a choice. You can decide to leave now, but if you choose to stay, let me tell you, you will never have the chance to leave again."
Mo Ran’s somber eyes suddenly brightened, a glimmer of hope flashing through.
Could she really leave?
However, meeting the ruthless flash in Gu Yixuan’s eyes, her own eyes dimmed again, her heart growing colder.
She was far too naive; how could he give her a choice? He was just testing her.
"No, since I’ve chosen to stay, I won’t leave unless you let me go." This magnificent golden birdcage was destined to be her home forever.
She struggled, resisted, and hoped, but in the end, she returned here, only with more scars than before.
Gu Yixuan smiled with satisfaction, loosening the grip on her chin, his fingers caressed her smooth skin back and forth.
"This is the choice you made yourself, remember what you said today, otherwise, I will not let you off."
