Settling into the sports car, Mo Ran said nothing, as Gu Yixuan started the vehicle and drove away.
After a while, the car stopped by the riverside.
Mo Ran suddenly plunged into his embrace, clutching him tightly.
Her body was still trembling, but now, inhaling his scent and feeling the strong beat of his heart, her own began to relax.
Gu Yixuan held her waist with one hand and gently stroked her head with the other, his voice soft, "What’s wrong? Did something scare you just now?"
He knew she was kindhearted and had not seen much bloodshed, which is why he hadn’t shot to kill. If she hadn’t been there, with his nature, he would surely have killed to set an example.
Mo Ran mumbled a shake of her head, "No, I was afraid something would happen to you."
Understanding her meaning, his eyes immediately softened with a warm smile.
"Don’t worry, they wouldn’t dare to do anything to me." If he didn’t have that much confidence, he wouldn’t have ventured in alone.
"But, what if they had made a mistake?" Mo Ran lifted her head, her eyes glistening with tears, "Anyway, you’ve promised me, you can’t take risks anymore."
"Okay," he replied with a smile.
Mo Ran quietly watched him, realizing that just being able to see him was also a happiness.
"Ranran, you’ve been wronged today." Gu Yixuan cradled her face, a trace of remorse flickering in his eyes, "I failed to protect you; you must have suffered a lot at their hands."
"No, they didn’t actually do anything to me. Mr. Lei arrived in time and saved me."
Gu Yixuan’s eyes turned stern, "Rest assured, I will never let them touch you again."
"Hmm, I believe you. After the commotion you caused today, they probably won’t come after me anymore."
Mo Ran suddenly became serious, "Gu Yixuan, tell me the truth, what have you been doing these past few days?"
He knew she wouldn’t be fooled, but it didn’t matter, since it was all over now.
"I’ll tell you, but don’t get angry."
"Was it really a Black Angel attack?" Mo Ran was incredibly astute, and his words led her to guess the truth.
She hastily propped herself up, examining his body, "How are you feeling now? Do you have a headache? Are you uncomfortable? Did you get hurt anywhere?"
"Don’t worry, I’ll explain everything slowly," Gu Yixuan said with a smile, reaching for her hand.
"How can I not worry!" Mo Ran cried out abruptly, though she hadn’t shed tears during the terrifying events earlier, now she wept easily.
