Mo Ran did not open his eyes, offering no response to him.
"Ranran?" he asked, puzzled, as he felt her forehead and noticed her slight trembling.
Alarmed, he quickly picked her up and shook her, "What’s wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Pressed against his chest, she caught the scent of that perfume again.
How she hated that smell!
Mo Ran suddenly opened her eyes and pushed him away forcefully; she did not want his closeness!
Perhaps it was the Black Angel acting up, or perhaps it was the pent-up grievances from last night, but at that moment she felt particularly sad and aggrieved, wanting to petulantly push him away.
Gu Yixuan stood there, dazed, with a flicker of darkness crossing his eyes, "Ranran..."
Tears welled up in Mo Ran’s eyes as she buried her face in the pillow, her body quivering.
She felt truly heartbroken, longing to ask him what Gao Zhenzhen meant in his heart, and what she herself meant to him.
Hadn’t he said that she was his everything? Why could she feel that there was a place for Gao Zhenzhen in his heart?
She hated herself for being so insatiable, so unreasonable, so greedy for all of him, unwilling to leave even a bit for someone else.
Yet, her heart could not be generous and inclusive—she could not tolerate even a grain of sand.
The Black Angel was torturing her as well; at the moment she was in sheer agony, both body and soul.
Suddenly, she couldn’t help but burst into tears, so vulnerable that she needed the tears to vent all the discomfort in her body.
Gu Yixuan thought she was too heartbroken, and suddenly it dawned on him.
He lunged forward to embrace her, forcing her to lift her little face and meet his eyes. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel⟡fire.net
"Did you see what just happened?"
Mo Ran shook her head, crying, with her eyes tightly closed.
"Ranran, don’t misunderstand; it’s not what you think!" This explanation might be the most clichéd and powerless, but it was the truth!
"She is going back to Japan and hoped I would hold her one last time before leaving. I don’t have any feelings for her; you have to believe me, my heart only has you!" He realized how frantic and anxious one becomes when misunderstood by a loved one.
Mo Ran kept crying, trembling more and more violently, and finally, Gu Yixuan realized that something was off with her.
Doubt flickered in his eyes at first, then fear.
"Is your Black Angel acting up?!" Calculating the time, it would be about now.
Mo Ran nodded, biting her lips tightly, enduring the body’s pain...
