Chapter 222: Chapter 223: Gaining Status through One’s Children

Mo Ran also rubbed his aching head, looked at him, and couldn’t help blurting out, "Serves you right!"

A faint glance from the man drifted over, and she immediately averted her gaze guiltily. Angering him would bear no good fruit.

"You’ve had your revenge just now, haven’t you calmed down?" he asked.

So, he had deliberately not moved out of the way just now!

Mo Ran felt that no one could match this man’s cunning.

"Let’s go, have dinner. If we don’t go down to eat now, I don’t mind feeding you myself," Gu Yixuan added.

Him feeding her would surely be terrifying.

Mo Ran obediently followed him down to have dinner, and after eating, Gu Yixuan wanted to take her for a walk.

Heavens must be about to pour red rain, for he was actually going to accompany her on a walk.

"Walking after a meal helps with digestion," he said.

"I’m tired, can I not go?"

"No, come for a walk with me, even ten minutes will do." And so, Mo Ran was pulled along by him.

Banshan Garden had many places for leisure and entertainment, and just walking on the path felt like strolling in a park, a paradise only the wealthy could afford.

If she were to walk here alone, she would quite enjoy it. But with Gu Yixuan added to the mix, she felt very uncomfortable.

And Gu Yixuan was insistently holding her hand, maintaining a state of intimacy.

Seeing no one around, Mo Ran brought up that question again, "Gu Yixuan, you still haven’t answered me. What exactly will it take for you to let me go?"

The man glanced at her indifferently, thinking she really knew how to ruin the mood.

"Do you want to leave so badly? You should know, even if you leave, you can’t be with other men."

"I won’t find anyone else. I can live alone," Mo Ran stated firmly. She really wasn’t suited to be with anyone else.

After she spoke, the two fell into silence.

Suddenly, the wind picked up; even wrapped up warmly, it was very cold. This winter had come early and was exceedingly chilly.

"Let’s go back, don’t catch a cold," Gu Yixuan said, pulling her to return.

His demeanor today really took a one hundred and eighty-degree turn; no matter how insistently Mo Ran questioned, he did not get angry. It seemed that indeed, having a child did lend a woman importance.

Returning to the villa, Mo Ran did not deal with him further and went upstairs to rest by herself; Gu Yixuan did not stop her.

When it was time to sleep at night, they lay together on the bed, both with eyes open, not speaking.

Gu Yixuan sat for a long time, lost in thought about something.
