"Can you change the punishment, like penalizing me by not going to the office for three days or having me cook for you for three days? Anything is fine, just don’t make me sleep in the study."
Mo Ran huffed in anger.
’Fine, you are banned from appearing before my eyes for three days!’
This punishment was even more vicious.
Sleeping in the study, he at least could see her during the day and find some solace in her company. Not being allowed to appear before her for three days would surely drive him mad.
"Ranran, I really messed up. Could you please let me off?" Gu Yixuan begged, holding her hand with a pitiful tone.
Mo Ran withdrew her hand and crossed her arms, ignoring him.
He had no idea that she wasn’t trying to make things difficult for him on purpose; her heart was genuinely in pain. He had forgiven Gao Zhenzhen and even embraced her twice—how could she swallow such an insult?
Anyway, she felt that she wasn’t as important to him as Gao Zhenzhen was.
Moreover, she couldn’t help but want to sniff him whenever she got close, to check if there was any other woman’s perfume scent on him.
She felt like she was becoming neurotic.
So making him sleep in the study for three days was not only a punishment for him but also time for herself, to calm down properly.
Seeing there was no room for negotiation, Gu Yixuan had no choice but to compromise.
Picking up the pillow and quilt she had prepared, he didn’t want to move even half a step away.
"Ranran, you might not be able to sleep at night without me either," he decided to appeal to her emotions, reasoning with her. Chapters first released on ɴovelfire.net
Mo Ran got up and pushed him out.
Ignoring his pathetic look, she pushed him out of the room and then mercilessly closed the door, not giving him a second thought.
Gu Yixuan raised his hand to knock on the door but, after a try, he didn’t follow through.
He truly regretted his actions and finally understood that even if a man didn’t cheat on his partner, he couldn’t let the woman at home know anything about any close contact with another woman.
Otherwise, the consequences would be very serious.
After all, when women get jealous, they are rarely rational.
He would sleep in the study tonight and must make up to her tomorrow so he could rightfully move back into the main bedroom.
Lying in bed at night, Mo Ran tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She finally got up, turned on her computer, and checked if there was any work to do.
She had been lazy for too long; it was time to get back into work and charge herself up.
She looked through a lot of job postings but didn’t like any of them; she just loved to dance.
How wonderful it would be to run her own dance class.
