"I need to work, make friends, have my own personal space, and not have everything revolve around you. Keeping me in the villa isn’t love, it’s a form of house arrest, you know?"
"How could you think that?!"
Gu Yixuan furrowed his brow, his tone slightly heavy as he said, "In the past when I wanted to keep you, I would threaten you, hurt you. Later, I realized my mistake, and I changed.
I’m good to you now, tender, showering you with all my affection.
Letting you enjoy everything without having to work, and my heart only has you, isn’t this what you were expecting?
Don’t you women like to be pampered?"
Mo Ran really felt sad, wondering who had turned Gu Yixuan into this.
He simply didn’t understand love; he had always loved in the way he saw fit. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel✶fire.net
His method was wrong before, and it was still wrong now.
But how could she tell him that his actions were mistaken?
He was trying so hard to change for her, although he had gone to another extreme, he truly made an effort.
How could she bear to tell him that all his efforts had been in vain?
Love doesn’t need confinement or restraint, nor does it need to be forced...
Should she go along with him?
Stay in this villa forever, being his golden canary?
No, that wouldn’t be good for him; it would actually harm both of them.
Even if she could keep being the golden canary now, there would be a day of resistance in the future, and by then, it would be truly impossible to change anything.
Mo Ran looked at him, speaking earnestly, "You’re right, I like the way you pamper me.
But my life can’t just be about you. I have family, friends, a career; I can’t live just for you, and you can’t live just for me.
We should embrace this colorful world, making our own lives, and each other’s lives, more meaningful.
Gu Yixuan, I can’t be the canary in your cage. I hope you can respect me and allow me to have my personal space."
The man stared at her, silent for a long time.
His dark eyes showed no emotion, and Mo Ran didn’t know what he was thinking.
She kept meeting his gaze, hoping he would see her determination and understand her meaning.
"I know what to do now," Gu Yixuan said, standing up emotionlessly.
Mo Ran’s heart leapt with joy and she asked eagerly, "Do you really understand what I mean?"
