Every time Mo Ran fell asleep was the time for him to work.
With her back to him, Mo Ran quietly opened her eyes, and a tear involuntarily slid from her eyes.
She knew Gu Yixuan loved her, and there was nothing between him and Gao Zhenzhen.
Yet, she also knew that in Gu Yixuan’s eyes, Gao Zhenzhen was different, special.
Her heart was truly small; she only hoped that she would be the only person in his eyes and heart, with no other woman.
When she received provocative photos from Gao Zhenzhen, she didn’t even dare to question Gu Yixuan.
She was afraid he would call her petty, accuse her of not trusting him, and the like.
Their relationship hadn’t been easy to come by, and she didn’t want to fight with him. If avoiding the issue could solve the problem, she was willing to avoid it.
Mo Ran pretended to have slept for a long time before getting up.
Grandma brought over some food. Gu Yixuan ate a little then immediately went back to work.
Lately, his workload had been extremely heavy because he had already started to undercut Gu Hai and Gao Meiru’s influence.
Mo Ran ate alone, slowly, feeling each bite as tasteless as wax.
"Miss Mo, is there something wrong with the food today?" asked Grandma.
Mo Ran smiled and shook her head; it wasn’t the food that was unappetizing, it was her own lack of appetite.
After she finished eating, as Grandma was cleaning up the dishes, she happened to glance at the intently working Gu Yixuan.
"The master seems very busy. He hardly ate anything."
The speaker meant nothing by it, but the listener read a lot into it.
Mo Ran looked at Gu Yixuan and pursed her lips, lowering her head. The source of this content ɪs N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Should she ask him to go back, to not keep watching over her ?
He was so busy; she should be more considerate.
Grandma left quickly, and Mo Ran sat on the □□, flipping through a magazine but not taking in a single word.
She hung her head, her long hair covering her face, hiding her expression at the moment.
Gu Yixuan worked until late into the night before he stopped.
"Ranran, what are you reading that has you so absorbed?" he said, walking over to her.
He had noticed earlier that she was reading a magazine, and she was still at it now.
Mo Ran put away the magazine and looked at him, shaking her head with a smile.
’Have you run into trouble at work?’ she wrote down her question.
Gu Yixuan sat down next to her, his arm enveloping her shoulder, and he rested his tired head in the crook of her shoulder.
"Yeah, there are some troubles lately." Gu Hai’s influence within the Gu Family was deep-rooted, and it was somewhat challenging to uproot them in a short period of time.
But it didn’t matter; he would quickly undercut their influence, leaving them with nothing.
