Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Is This Compensation?

A shadow of dark light flashed in his eyes as he said to the old lady, "Please bring Miss Mo out, tell her I’m looking for her."

The old lady knew he was referring to Mo Yan and nodded, "Alright."

When Mo Yan was brought out, Gu Yixuan was sitting at the dining table having breakfast. She walked over and sat down opposite him.

"What did you want to see me for?" She instinctively glanced upstairs but didn’t see Mo Ran.

"She hasn’t gotten up yet," Gu Yixuan answered her unspoken question and then pushed an envelope across the table to her.

"What is this?" Mo Yan picked up the envelope with a questioning look, opened it, and upon examining the contents, a flash of surprise crossed her eyes.

Gu Yixuan wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, leaned back in his chair, and looked at her indifferently, "These are the property deed and related documents for that house of yours. From now on, that house is yours."

Previously, he had given her a fake property deed, but this time it was real.

"Why are you giving this to me?" Mo Yan was uncertain of his intentions.

"It was always meant to be yours." It’s just that, in order to keep Mo Ran in check, he had never been willing to produce the real one.

After the incident with the fake property deed, Mo Yan had learned one thing: Gu Yixuan wouldn’t give her anything for nothing.

She placed the documents on the table and pushed them toward him, "I don’t take unearned rewards."

Gu Yixuan raised his eyebrows; when had the money-loving Mo Yan started saying things like this?

"Rest assured, this time it won’t affect you in any way. I’m giving it to you, and I’m truly giving it to you. Consider it a little sentiment from Mo Ran."

She understood. Was this meant as compensation?

Her eyes dropped slightly, but inside her heart sneered. What she wanted was a marriage into a wealthy family, not a house worth only a few million!

Looking up, her eyes conveyed a touch of boldness, "You care very much about Ranran."

She used an affirmative sentence, not an interrogative one.

Gu Yixuan’s expression remained unchanged, and he smiled faintly, "At least for now, I am still interested in her body."

He did not directly answer her question, nor did he give her the answer she wanted. Trying to use Mo Ran to tie Gu Yixuan down seemed somewhat unreliable.

However, she had no other leverage apart from this one.

"Take it back, I don’t want it. My child is gone, and that’s not something that can be compensated with anything," Mo Yan said indifferently as she stood up, intending to leave.

"Then tell me what you really want?" Gu Yixuan suddenly spoke up, forcing her to pause in her movement.
