Chapter 419: Chapter 420 No Intention of Letting Go 12

He had actually wanted to take her home for quite a while now, worried that her stomach would act up after such a long walk.

"Don’t do that, there are many people watching." Mo Ran quickly retracted her leg.

She laughed again, "You don’t understand, this is called fun. Shopping is about walking until your legs are jelly for that utterly exhilarating feeling."

He really didn’t get it and couldn’t feel any pleasure from it.

"Are you thirsty? I’ll go buy you something to drink."

"Yeah, I want some yogurt." Mo Ran nodded.

Gu Yixuan looked around and saw that there was a convenience store not far ahead.

He stood up and instructed, "Wait here for me, I’ll be right back. Don’t wander off."

"Go ahead, I’ll rest for a bit." Mo Ran smiled and waved at him. His worries were superfluous; she wasn’t blind to her surroundings, and the thought of her getting lost was just silly.

After Gu Yixuan left, she waited for a little while and then decided to go find him.

She was so focused on the direction of the convenience store that she failed to notice a delivery motorbike heading towards her from the side.

"Be careful!" Just as she was about to be hit, a pedestrian grabbed her hand and pulled her back.

Mo Ran stumbled backwards, not steadying herself, and ended up falling into the person’s arms.

She quickly tried to pull away from him, but when she pushed against his chest and felt the powerful heartbeat of a man, her own heart panicked.

She hadn’t stabilized herself yet and hastily withdrew her hands, which made her fall onto him and press even tighter against his body.

It was becoming more and more chaotic.

Mo Ran felt a surge of anxiety in her heart, and just as she tried to push him away again, a large hand grabbed her shoulder and pulled her slightly backward, causing her to take a few steps back.

The force wasn’t harsh; she only stepped back a few paces and did not fall over.

"Thud—" A powerful punch also landed on the face of the pedestrian at the same time.

Turning her head, Mo Ran saw Gu Yixuan grabbing the man and throwing punch after punch at him.

She widened her eyes in shock, ran over, and grabbed his hand, "Gu Yixuan, what are you doing!"

"Get off!" The man shook off her hand and landed another punch on the other man, causing his face to go utterly pale with pain.

Just as he had come out of the convenience store, Gu Yixuan saw Mo Ran leaning into his arms, very close. His mind went blank with rage, and without thinking, he rushed over to beat this man who dared to lay a finger on his woman.

Thinking back to how Mo Ran had been in his arms just moments ago, he was so angry that he wanted to kill the man!
