Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Back Again...

Gu Yixuan spoke indifferently as he got out of the car and made his way into the villa, his confident demeanor as if he was certain Mo Ran would stay.

And what Mo Ran hated was that she indeed would stay.

Now that she was under his control, not staying could lead to more unwelcome events.

With no other choice, she too got out of the car. The villa’s decor remained the same as before, and to her surprise, the housekeeper didn’t show any sign of astonishment upon seeing her.

"Miss Mo, you’re back," as if in the housekeeper’s eyes, Mo Ran had just gone on a trip, not moved out of the place.

"Mhm," she nodded, looking around.

"Miss Mo, what are you looking for?"

"Housekeeper, where is Miss Ming? Isn’t she here?"

"You mean Miss Ming? She moved out a long time ago. She left the day you moved out, at noon."

"Moved out?" Mo Ran felt somewhat surprised. Why would Gu Yixuan let her move out? Didn’t she win?

"Yes, the gentleman asked her to move out..."

Mo Ran had only asked in passing and hadn’t expected Ming Xue to have really left. It was for the best that she had left; staying away from someone like Gu Yixuan should be considered fortunate.

She was the unlucky one, the most unfortunate of all.

Ascending the stairs, Mo Ran returned to her former room, which looked the same except for her belongings, which were no longer there.

She couldn’t help but feel irritated. Gu Yixuan had kept the room as it was, confident that he could force her to return, right?

As it turned out, she had indeed come back...

After sitting in her room in a daze for a while, Mo Ran took a shower. She never opened her door to go out, and Gu Yixuan didn’t knock to come in either.

However, she didn’t lock the door. She had made up her mind not to resist him anymore, letting him do whatever he pleased, as long as he lost interest in her sooner rather than later.

After her shower, she lay in bed and turned off the lights to sleep, her eyes open, waiting for Gu Yixuan to come in. After more than half an hour with no activity, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

That night, Gu Yixuan indeed didn’t come to seek her out. He was busy in his study, dealing with a matter.

Waking up the next morning, Gu Yixuan had already gone to the company. Mo Ran’s luggage had been brought over, and as she sat bored, she began to surf the internet.

Suddenly recalling the words Gu Yixuan had said the night before, she started searching online for the location of the "Perfume" bar, with results that were both within and beyond her expectations.
