"These past few days, have you been doing well, shut away alone in your room?" he asked very softly.
But for Mo Ran, the feeling was nothing but danger.
She didn’t answer, and Gu Yixuan gently pinched her chin, making her look into his eyes.
"Do you know how I’ve spent these days?" he asked again.
Mo Ran subconsciously shook her head, not wanting to know. Her intuition told her that his life must be related to her, and she didn’t want to know too much, didn’t want the mental burden.
Gu Yixuan didn’t oblige her wish and said word by word, "Twenty-four hours a day, I didn’t sleep on a bed for a single moment, all in the car."
"I’d only sleep for three hours each day, then I’d search for you, search for you! Whenever I saw a woman who looked like you, I’d damn run up like a madman and stop her."
"Every moment, I’d think, where have you gone? Did you leave W City, or did something unfortunate happen? Every guess was unbearable for me." Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⚑fire.net
"I’ve almost scoured every street and alley in W City. I damn near put out a city-wide search for you, and still couldn’t find you! Do you want me to tell you how many streets W City has, how many alleys, how many hotels, how many people named Mo Ran..."
"Stop talking!" Mo Ran said in agony, covering her ears, unable to listen to another word.
She really didn’t know, her decision would have such a big impact.
Gu Yixuan let out a cold laugh, forcefully pulling her hands away, and said with a sinister smile, "Why not listen? You’re tormenting me; you should feel happy. You should hear what I’ve done for you, then you can feel the pleasure of revenge, you know? It was me who wronged you before, now I’m getting my karmic retribution, you..."
"I’m sorry! Stop, won’t you, if I say I’m sorry?" Mo Ran said, shaking her head with tears streaming down her face.
All she wanted was a quiet life; she never intended to torment him, to seek revenge on him.
Gu Yixuan’s gaze remained ice-cold, and he couldn’t help but shout, "Why say sorry? I damn well did it voluntarily, I deserved it! What do you have to be sorry for!"
"I’m sorry..." That was all she said; beyond that, she didn’t know what else to say.
The world had truly turned upside down; it was clearly he who had wronged her, but now it was she who was apologizing to him.
"I didn’t know you’d look for me... I just wanted to be alone for a bit, I really didn’t know it would be ... If I’d known, I would have let you know..." Mo Ran explained, her words broken and disjointed, hoping he would understand.
