She ran over and punched his father.
"You’re not allowed to hit him!" she said angrily.
The boy’s father was stunned, then immediately put on a smile, "Yes, Miss Mo says not to hit, then we won’t hit. Someone, take the young master down, let him have a good rest."
Mo Ran thought he really was going to let him rest, so she didn’t say anything more.
She stole a glance at the boy, guilt in her eyes. He was also staring at her, and she felt very embarrassed, bowing her head, allowing her mother to lead her away. Updates are released by N0velFire.ɴet
She never knew that this encounter would bring such a significant change to her life later on.
While listening to Mo Yan’s account, Mo Ran reflected on the incident.
Thinking of his frail body seated in a wheelchair, her heart ached.
Gu Yixuan, what did you go through when you were a child?
She decided she would find an opportunity to ask him properly; she wanted to know about his past. She wanted to know how his legs got hurt, how he fared in the Gu family, how he managed to stand again.
Mo Yan spoke until she was thirsty, gulping down water, "Alright, that’s what happened, it’s really not such a big deal, I don’t know what there is to ask about."
"Sister, you shouldn’t have spoken to him like that back then," Mo Ran took Gu Yixuan’s side.
"Well, it’s his fault for ignoring me! Besides, look at the way he treated me!"
"Alright, we were all young back then. The things we said and did shouldn’t be taken to heart." Those things, indeed, were not worth dwelling on.
But Mo Ran also knew that Mo Yan’s actions must have hurt Gu Yixuan back then.
Looking out the window, the bright sunshine was interrupted by a few birds flying by.
She wondered how Gu Yixuan was doing now, whether the contract discussion went smoothly.
After talking for a bit more, she hung up the phone and continued cleaning the study.
The photo, she tucked it into her diary, planning to look at it every time she wrote in it.
Finally, the night came.
Mo Ran couldn’t sleep, sitting in the living room watching television, and when Gu Yixuan called, she felt so happy.
"Hello!" she answered the phone eagerly.
"Ranran, are you asleep?"
His voice was so nice, she felt like it had been a long time since she had heard it.
"Not yet, I’m watching TV. How did the contract talks go, will you be back tomorrow?" Just one day apart, and she already missed him so much, so very much.
