Once, he possessed her through his tyranny, has he now switched to tenderness and affection?
Knowing full well that she responds to gentleness rather than force, why employ this tactic?
Gu Yixuan’s eyes darkened as he gently embraced her and sighed softly, "It’s impossible, you’re the only one in my heart, how could I possibly let you go."
Mo Ran’s eyes suddenly widened, "You said that after a month, you would tell me the reason, how I could be free!"
"Fool, do you really want to hear it? I can tell you right now."
Mo Ran didn’t answer, choosing to consider that her response. This content belongs to N()velFire.net
Gu Yixuan rested his chin on her shoulder, whispering in her ear, "I will let you go, unless you cease to be my only one."
A place in her heart exploded, was it sorrow, or a mix of both joy and distress?
She was his only one, what did that represent?
"Gu Yixuan, what am I in your eyes, exactly?"
"The most important, I can use my life to protect you. In my heart, no one can replace your place," the man answered gravely.
Mo Ran painfully closed her eyes for a moment, which meant she would always be his only one, and he would never let her go?
The thing she had long anticipated now came to nothing, she truly felt very sad.
"Why do you have to treat me this way, why?" Mo Ran couldn’t help but cry out, her crying was heartbreaking, like a child who had lost a beloved toy.
Other than using her tears to express her pain, she didn’t know how to convey the agony and despair in her heart.
Gu Yixuan watched her with a pained heart, speaking gently, "Because you are a gift from heaven, the only one, able to bring me warmth."
Mo Ran was stunned for a moment, looking at him in disbelief.
"Ranran, my birth was a tragedy from the start. My mother never loved me from the moment she had me. In her eyes, I was just a tool, a means to marry into a wealthy family.
Everyone disliked me, my father didn’t love me, my grandfather thought I was a bastard that tainted the Gu family’s bloodline. My stepmother wished she could kill me. Even my biological mother, in order to protect her own life, was willing to let me die. My half-brother treated me like a dog.
In my dark childhood, only you, you were the only one who ever stood up for me. Ranran, do you know? Without you, there would be no Gu Yixuan today."
