Chapter 479: Chapter 480: The End of Life Choice 3

"Thinking of starving yourself to death? Ranran, you’re too naive. Even if you don’t eat, I can keep you alive."

Gu Yixuan had a doctor come to administer nutrient solution to her, keeping her alive and not letting her die.

He had experienced the taste of hunger. People can endure hunger for a day, two days, three days, but certainly not for five or six days.

Food was placed beside Mo Ran; all she had to do was reach out her hand to eat it.

He knew that human instinct would make her reach out, and she would definitely do so.

It wasn’t that he wanted to torment her like this; it was mainly because Mo Ran herself refused to eat and wanted to die—he had no other choice.

He knew that she hated him so deeply that it was ingrained in her bones, and it would never change in this lifetime.

She would not stay peacefully by his side, always thinking of escaping.

To ensure that she would not run away again, he had to extinguish all her thoughts, including that of death.

As long as she stayed by his side, even if she was a soulless puppet, he didn’t care. After all, he could get nothing now; having her by his side was all that mattered.

The Gu Yixuan of today was like a gambler who had lost everything, bereft of reason, only wanting to gamble the last of his possessions to retrieve something.

Ranran, if you choose death, then let’s die together.

In the next life, I will love you properly, make up for everything, and never repeat any of my past mistakes.

In this life, I may never have the chance to correct my wrongs, so I can only continue making mistakes...

Indeed, as Gu Yixuan had predicted, Mo Ran got so hungry that her body instinctively reached out for food.

She ate without any consciousness.

When she came to her senses, she deeply loathed herself for it.

Day after day, Gu Yixuan would arrive like a king, fervently doting on her.

Mo Ran no longer struggled, she repeated the cycle of not eating, then instinctively eating when she became extremely hungry.

She knew that Gu Yixuan was deliberately letting her continue like this.

He wanted her to give up, to abandon all thoughts, and then stay obediently by his side.

But she didn’t want to give up; she wanted to fight for the last bit of dignity for herself.

However, this hope seemed to become more fragile with each passing day.

She didn’t know how much time had passed; the weather outside had started to get hot, and Mo Ran had never left the master bedroom.

She often went without food, and her body was very weak, requiring her to lie in bed every day.
