"Since you know, then I won’t say more. Don’t worry, I’ll send someone over immediately to protect your darling," Lei Li teased intentionally.
He still held a grudge against Gu Yixuan’s actions today.
This was the first time Gu Yixuan heard him speak in that tone, and he couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow in surprise.
"She is my darling, my treasure," he admitted generously, which left Lei Li on the other end of the line at a loss for words.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yixuan got up and walked to the balcony, leaning on the railing as he breathed in the cold air.
Every time Black Angel acted up, there would be some reaction, like palpitations, lack of energy.
This time, it should be happening tomorrow.
........................
The next morning, when Mo Ran woke up, Gu Yixuan had already left the villa.
As she wondered where he had gone, he called her.
"Ranran, I need to go on a business trip for a couple of days to negotiate a contract. I’ll probably be back in a day or two. The business discussions require confidentiality, so I’ll have to turn off my phone. I’m letting you know so you won’t try to call me during the day," he said. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel·fiɾe·net
Mo Ran felt there was something wrong the moment she heard this and frowned slightly, "Gu Yixuan, where are you now?"
"At the airport, I have to go through security in about fifteen minutes."
"Why didn’t you tell me about this yesterday? Are you leaving on purpose because Black Angel is about to act up? Didn’t you promise me that you would never avoid me when that happens?"
Mo Ran felt her whole body trembling, Gu Yixuan’s addiction must have flared up!
"You need to come back right now, I want to see you immediately!" She couldn’t even begin to imagine the pain he would go through during another episode.
Gu Yixuan lay back on the sofa with a faint smile on his lips; his eyes filled with deep longing.
"Ranran, listen to me, I really do have a contract to discuss. I didn’t tell you yesterday because I only got the emergency call last night. This is something I have to deal with personally, or it’ll result in a significant loss. I saw you sleeping so peacefully this morning that I didn’t want to disturb you. Actually, after the last episode, it will be a long time before the next one happens. I promised you I would never avoid you, so I won’t. You have to trust me; I wouldn’t lie to you," he said earnestly.
He spoke so sincerely that Mo Ran started to believe him a little, "Really? You’re not lying to me?"
