"Do you know? I’ve been looking for you for three days. Why did you hide away all alone?" As soon as he sat down, Tang Song started asking.
There were thick blood vessels at the bottom of his eyes, and he looked exhausted, clearly just as worried about her as Gu Yixuan was.
Mo Ran felt very sorry. Even if she had to break up with him, she shouldn’t have put him through this.
"I wanted some quiet time alone, so I didn’t contact you. Tang Song, I’ve thought it over, and I feel we’re not compatible. Let’s break up."
Tang Song was stunned. Even though he had guessed this would be the outcome, hearing it firsthand still felt unbelievable.
"Wasn’t it agreed? You would give me your answer after a month, why..." Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveI-Fire.ɴet
"There’s no need to wait a month. I’ve thought it through very clearly. We really aren’t suitable for each other, and it’s better to break up sooner rather than later." Mo Ran lowered her eyes to hide the desolation in them.
This relationship was too short, too shallow; she barely had time to feel it before it was gone.
Tang Song was taken aback, a hint of pain sliding through his eyes. In the end, was he really unable to keep her?
"Tell me the reason. Is it because of Gu Yixuan? Have you fallen in love with him? That’s why you want to break up with me?" he asked in a low voice.
Mo Ran shook her head.
"Then what is it? If you don’t tell me the reason, I won’t be able to let go." This relationship meant a lot to him; it wasn’t easy to come by, and he didn’t want to let go, nor was he willing to.
Mo Ran looked up at him and asked calmly, "Do you really want to know the reason?"
"Yes," he nodded firmly.
Mo Ran opened and then closed her mouth, still unable to speak. That thing, if she talked about it, would deeply hurt them both.
But if she didn’t tell him, he would feel unresolved, and his heart would be filled with regret.
"What exactly were you doing on New Year’s Eve?" Finally, Mo Ran opted to reveal everything.
Tang Song’s body stiffened suddenly, a flicker of panic in his eyes.
She knew? She knew everything?!
Mo Ran saw his expression and realized that it was indeed as she had suspected.
She said with sadness, "Tang Song, I don’t blame you for what you did, but you shouldn’t have lied to me. I trusted you so much, and you deceived me. Do you realize how sad that makes me?"
"It’s not like that!" He grabbed her hand in a rush, desperately trying to explain: "I didn’t mean to deceive you; I was afraid that if you knew the truth, you would break up with me, so I lied to you!"
"Mo Ran, I really like you. I don’t want to break up with you. That night, I was actually drugged by someone; it wasn’t my own will."
