The man let out a cold laugh and said indifferently, "Why should I understand what you mean? I just have to do what I think is right."
Mo Ran was shocked, her eyes widened in disbelief.
He hadn’t understood her at all, not one bit. Even if he had, he didn’t want to respect her wishes.
Her heart ached terribly. Their love had just begun; was it doomed to end prematurely because it was becoming twisted?
"Gu Yixuan, listen to me, we..."
The man abruptly cut her off and said coldly, "Mo Ran, let me tell you, since you’ve chosen to fall in love with me, it has to be complete. I don’t accept your complicated heart. What I want is purity! Absolute! Your heart must be only for me, or I don’t want it at all!"
It turned out that once he had love, he became greedy.
The man he once was just wanted her to get along well with him, without ever having the luxury of her love.
Having tasted sweetness, he now wanted everything. Such insatiability, even he despised himself for it.
But he was helpless; without it all, he couldn’t be at peace, he couldn’t be truly happy.
"And what about your love for me? Is it pure, absolute? Your life, your world, does it have no room for anything else?" Mo Ran asked instinctively.
She hoped that he would put himself in her shoes.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yixuan gave a faint smile and said mercilessly, "My love, you’re not yet worthy of it!" Updates are released by novel·fiɾe·net
Mo Ran’s body trembled violently, and her face turned pale in an instant.
His words were more hurtful than any sword. Did he even know what he was saying?
Mo Ran tilted her head back, blinking to keep the tears from falling, and nodded with a faint smile.
"You’ve always been reluctant to say the three words ’I love you’ to me. I thought you were shy, afraid to say it out loud. I always thought you loved me too, but it turns out you don’t...
Gu Yixuan, were you always testing my heart? Without having it all, you don’t dare to give your heart. I understand now, I understand everything..."
She nodded affirmatively to herself and turned to walk up the stairs in a daze.
Gu Yixuan’s eyes were dark as he stared at her, his lips nearly pressed into a line.
He wanted to go after her, to hold her, to beg her to fall in love with him, to give him all her love.
But he knew that was impossible.
She could give him love, but she couldn’t give him the whole world.
Even if he said now that he only wanted love, she wouldn’t give it to him anymore, because he had hurt her once again.
