Occasionally, he would go to the company to deal with some matters, but before leaving, he made sure that Grandmother watched Mo Ran closely.
Although they never explicitly stated it, Mo Ran still figured it out.
She knew that, both openly and secretly, she was being softly imprisoned by Gu Yixuan.
She wanted to leave, not sneak away, but leave openly and squarely, yet now was not the time. She thought that maybe after giving birth to the child, Gu Yixuan would let her go.
He liked children so much; his reluctance to let her go must surely be because he couldn’t bear to part with the child.
Actually, she was very upset. In Gu Yixuan’s eyes, her importance was even less than that of the child’s.
Thinking back to some time ago, ever since she showed signs of a miscarriage, Gu Yixuan became very clingy, treating her almost as if she were a treasure.
All these actions, no doubt, were because he was worried about the child and not genuinely concerned about her health.
She was too foolish, misled by his tenderness, into thinking that he truly fell in love with her. But that wasn’t the case. He never considered giving his true heart to her, yet he couldn’t bear to let her go.
It would be less accurate to say he was a person afraid of getting hurt than to say he was a selfish person. This text is hosted at noᴠelfire.net
He selfishly wanted to win her heart, yet dared not to offer his own. He feared that if he did, and one day she rejected it, he would be ruined.
In truth, he didn’t need to worry so much. Love should be approached with sincerity.
He always kept his true feelings hidden away, never genuinely offering them to her, which made her feel that her love was very insignificant...
After experiencing this ordeal, Mo Ran thought, between her and Gu Yixuan, perhaps neither dared to offer their true heart anymore.
She had offered hers and got hurt; certainly, she would not easily offer it again.
He had not yet offered his, knowing he could not gain her entire world, and now would never offer it...
Between them, they could only be doomed to a hopeless entanglement; indeed, this was a cursed fate.
Just after Mo Ran had spent some boring time in the villa, she received a phone call, from Tang Song.
She had almost forgotten him. She had planned to call him to go out to eat last time, to ask him how he was doing back then, and she had put it off for so long, never fulfilling the intention.
Picking up the phone, Mo Ran smiled for the first time in recent days, "Hello, Tang Song."
"Mo Ran, are you free tomorrow?" Tang Song asked straightforwardly as soon as she answered.
Mo Ran thought for a moment and nodded, "I should be. Is something the matter?"
