Actually, he didn’t need to tell her these things; after all, their relationship hadn’t been made certain yet.
"Have you eaten?" Gu Yixuan asked.
"I’ll go down to eat in a while."
"Remember to take a walk after eating, don’t let the food sit heavy on your stomach, understand?"
"Hmm." When they were by the seaside, he would always take her for a walk after meals.
Seeing Mo Ran’s indifferent attitude, Gu Yixuan didn’t have much else to say, "Well then, that’s it. I’ll call you again tonight."
After hanging up the phone, both of them felt a certain silence in their hearts. Could they let go of everything from the past and start over?
Mo Ran was once again at a loss, unsure of how to choose. Should she forget everything for the sake of the child and be with him, or should she decisively leave him and start a life of her own?
As if sensing her hesitation, over the next two days, Gu Yixuan was very nice to her, just like he was at the seaside.
Mo Ran’s confused heart became even more uncertain, tipping the scales one moment in one direction, and the next moment in another.
Actually, her hesitation stemmed from the fact that she didn’t have strong enough reasons to choose Gu Yixuan.
Gu Yixuan knew this, but he believed that with time, Mo Ran would surely see his good qualities and would choose to accept him.
Everything was developing just as he had anticipated, but what he had not expected was that within things he perceived as non-threatening, a hidden danger was lurking.
When Mo Ran received a call from Yan Ruyu, she was very surprised. She wanted to meet up with her in person to discuss something important. After giving it some thought, Mo Ran agreed without telling Gu Yixuan.
When she arrived at the private room of the Japanese restaurant where they were to meet, Yan Ruyu had already been waiting for a while.
She was still impeccably dressed in her Chanel suit, her makeup meticulously perfect, yet Mo Ran could still see the weariness in her eyes.
This woman always appeared so strong. Despite her exhaustion, she still made an effort to dress up, not letting anyone discern a hint of weakness.
Mo Ran sat down opposite her, lowered her gaze to avoid looking into her eyes, and asked, "What did you want to talk to me about?"
"There have been many things happening around me lately, you must have heard some of them," Yan Ruyu said.
Mo Ran nodded, "I’ve heard a bit."
As Yan Ruyu poured tea for Mo Ran, she said, "I don’t know why Gu Yixuan wants to strike at the Yan Family, but he has succeeded. The Yan Family is now on the brink of collapse, in imminent danger of bankruptcy."
