Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Why Lingering Spirits Refuse to Disperse

Mo Ran stopped her, pleading, "Grandma, if you call him, I won’t be able to leave. Grandma, you should know how much I want to get away from here."

"But the master will be very angry if he finds out you’ve left."

"I can’t worry about that anymore. Grandma, I’m going, goodbye."

"Miss Mo, you really shouldn’t go." Grandma tried to pull her back, but Mo Ran, gripping her suitcase, quickly walked out of the villa; she knew that once she was gone, Grandma would definitely call Gu Yixuan.

She had to leave early.

And sure enough, as soon as she left, Grandma dialed Gu Yixuan’s number.

Taking a cab back to the small apartment she had rented before, Mo Ran felt like she was coming home. Although the apartment was small, she lived comfortably and at ease there.

If only her sister could come back and live with her, it would be even better.

Mo Ran went to her room to start tidying up the bed. Today, she was going to do a thorough cleaning and then prepare a sumptuous dinner as a treat for herself.

Tomorrow, she would go to class and begin a new life.

Wearing an apron, Mo Ran hummed a tune while hanging the freshly washed clothes out on the balcony. Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Who could it be?

Her sister didn’t know she was back, and no one else knew she lived here—who could it be?

Suddenly thinking of Gu Yixuan, Mo Ran panicked; she didn’t dare to open the door.

The knocking grew louder with each rap until the person outside grew impatient, "Mo Ran, hurry up and open the door!"

It was him!

Why was he haunting her, why wouldn’t he just let her go? She had left, the message was so clear, why couldn’t he take a hint?!

"I know you’re in there, open the door quickly!"

She didn’t want to open the door; she didn’t want to see him.

"If you don’t open the door, I’m going to kick it down." His knocking was so loud that a neighbor across the hall opened their door and peeked out, only to be scared back inside by his fierce glare.

Mo Ran knew he would do as he said. With no other option, she reluctantly opened the door. Just as she opened it a crack, Gu Yixuan’s hand reached in, forcefully pushed the door wide open, squeezed himself inside, and then shut the door behind him.

The whole action was swift and fluid, leaving Mo Ran no chance to push him back out.

"What are you doing here?" She took a step back and asked defensively.

Gu Yixuan looked at her with a cold sneer, "What do you mean? Why did you move? Why didn’t you tell me?"

"My intentions are very clear; I don’t want to be entangled with you any longer, I want to return to my own life."
