Chapter 258: Chapter 259 Fasting 1

She guessed it might be Mo Yan calling, and now she wouldn’t be able to talk to Mo Yan on the phone anymore. She hoped Mo Yan would realize something was wrong and come to find her.

During lunch, Gu Yixuan made a lot of delicious food, placing the table beside the bed and neatly arranging the dishes. He gently said to Mo Ran, "What would you like to eat? I can feed you."

Mo Ran glanced at the food on the table, it was rich, full of color and fragrance, but she didn’t have any appetite at all.

She turned her head away, ignoring him.

She really couldn’t understand how Gu Yixuan could still smile at her, how he could still talk to her with a tone of calm tenderness.

She didn’t want to see him at all. She already hated the Gu family, and now that he had tied her up, her hatred for the Gu family deepened.

"How about a bite of greens? Don’t you love eating vegetables?" Gu Yixuan offered the food to her mouth, but Mo Ran kept her lips tightly sealed, not intending to open them at all.

"Be good, if you don’t eat, the baby will get hungry."

The mention of the child made her even less inclined to eat. It would be better to starve to death, she thought. She would die together with the child.

After coaxing her several times to no avail, Gu Yixuan sighed, "Do you not want to see me? Then I’ll have Grandma come to feed you."

He left, and Grandma came in.

Having lived through many things and knowing well the big principles of life, Grandma said, "Miss Mo, people are iron, food is steel. If you don’t eat, how will you have the strength to leave this place? Even if you have hatred in your heart, you shouldn’t harm yourself. Come on, take a few bites."

Still, Mo Ran remained indifferent.

In the past, no matter how Gu Yixuan hurt her, she wouldn’t let spite harm herself. But now the situation was different, the grievances between her and Gu Yixuan couldn’t simply be described as mere resentment.

Her parents’ death was the darkest shadow in her heart. How could she forgive the members of the Gu family, how could she be together with Gu Yixuan without any misgivings?

She wasn’t Juliet, and he wasn’t Romeo. She couldn’t abandon her family feud and follow him without a second thought.

She couldn’t keep the child either since it shared the Gu family’s blood.

Grandma persuaded again, "Do you really have the heart to starve the child? No matter what, the child is a piece of your own flesh. Even if you detest your husband, you can’t harm the child. The child is innocent, you have a kind heart, and I think you wouldn’t want to harm the child, right?"

Her words touched Mo Ran’s conscience. Yes, she didn’t want to hurt the child either.
