Tang Mo’er felt as if her fingertips had gone numb. Tang Mo’er held onto his cheek and pulling it down to get lips, before he could even react. “Welcome home, Mr Gu!”
Seeing her kissing him so intently, Gu Mohan was overflowing with tenderness towards her. “If you sleep on the carpet next time, I’ll have to punish you,” he threatened her fiercely.
Tang Mo’er smiled widely. She looked at his glistening eyes that were sparkling in amusement. Those eyes really had the ability to take in her soul.
Gu Mohan stretched out his hands and brushed her ink-black hair. “I’m going to take a bath, sleep for a while longer.”
“Mm.”
Gu Mohan went into the bathroom.
…
In the bathroom.
Gu Mohan stood in front of the basin and unbuttoned his shirt. However, he suddenly froze.
He noticed a faint redness in the basin.
He immediately stretched his hands out and rubbed it.
It was blood.
He could smell the faint scent of blood in the bathroom.
All of a sudden, his eyes were deep and cold, just like whirlpools that could draw humans into its ravenous depths. His palms were etched onto the basin as the muscles under his shirt tightened. His handsome demeanor turned anxious.
At this moment, the woman’s gentle voice came into his ears from behind. “Mr Gu, aren’t you taking a shower?”
Gu Mohan turned around and looked at where Tang Mo’er was standing. Her black silky hair was tucked behind her ear, accentuating her beauty. The morning light outside the window had reflected onto her delicate figure, making her look extremely beautiful and almost ethereal.
Gu Mohan licked his dry lips. “Mo’er, why is there blood on the basin?”
Tang Mo’er was shocked. She had used a tissue to pinch her nose last night and flushed them down the toilet last night. He should not have seen it. Did some blood drop onto the basin last night?
“I… I hurt my finger last night…” She cooked up a lie.
“Let me see.”
“No!” Tang Mo’er stepped back quickly and hid her finger behind her back. “I’m alright…”
Gu Mohan looked at her poor acting—her bright and clear eyes revealing panic and blatant uneasiness. Her little hand was hidden behind her, just like a girl who had been caught out after making a mistake.
She did not want to tell him.
She wanted to bear the pain alone.
Gu Mohan felt as if his heart had been squeezed, every breath he took hurt. He extended his arms and pulled her into his arms.
He looked down and buried his face in her hair. He hugged her so tightly that she would fuse into his blood and bones, only then would he feel a little better.
Tang Mo’er extended her small hands and reached for his back. She patted him lightly, “Mr Gu, it’s really fine. I only hurt my finger, it doesn’t hurt… It really doesn’t hurt…”
It really didn’t hurt.
Being held in his arms made the pain go away.
She did not plan to tell him about the days she had left. She wanted to be with him happily for the last month…
She wanted to leave him with happy memories. Only then would he remember her for a longer time.
She admitted she was very selfish. She knew he would be in a lot of pain when she left. If he forgot her, he would not hurt anymore. Yet, she did not want him to forget her.
She wanted to have a place in his heart forever.
She did not need parental love, all she needed was his love.
“Mm,” Gu Mohan whispered and kissed her hair over and over again. His voice was extremely gentle, as if he was afraid of awakening a child who was asleep, “Mo’er, if you don’t want me to see then I won’t see. I’ll listen to you… Let me hug you just for a while…”
Tang Mo’er placed her small face on his chest and heard his heartbeat. Satisfied, she closed her eyes.
In this moment, all she felt was bliss.
…
After having breakfast, Gu Mohan brought Tang Mo’er to the hospital as An’an was about to be discharged.
Gu Mohan and Huo Yanmei went to get the medical report from the doctor while Tang Mo’er accompanied An’an and sat with her at the lawn downstairs.
It was a bright and sunny day.
An’an was clad in a set of light blue patient clothing, even the smallest size looked extremely big on her. She lifted her small head and looked at the big tree in front of her. The sunlight shone in between the branches, giving her a warm silhouette. However, the expression of her face was extremely cold, as if she had lost the ability to smile and feel joy.
Her tiny face pale to the point there was no color. However, as she was naturally born beautiful and was an alluring ice beauty, it was not surprising that when the sun shone on her, she would still be a stunning masterpiece in the eyes of everyone else.
At this moment, there were two women gossiping at the corner, “Did you hear about the news that Lu Yan is about to get married?”
“Obviously. The man who’s wanted by all the women in the Capital, is going to marry Wang Yingying. When this news spreads around, I think women out there are going to cry.”
“This Wang Yingying leads a really good life, to think she’s going to end up with Master Yan. Imagine how blessed she’ll be in the future.”
“The engagement banquet is going to be held in two days. Then Lu Yan and Wang Yingying would be engaged!”
Hearing this, An’an’s eyelashes fluttered. In two days, it was her 18th birthday .
18 years old. She was finally going to become an adult.
On the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, he was going to get engaged.
How annoying.
At this moment, Tang Mo’er grabbed her cold hands. “An’an, are you alright?”
An’an nodded her head and said, “Young sister-in-law, I’m alright…”
She really was fine. However, he did not want her anymore.
He was so mean.
So horrid.
At this moment, a leather shoe landed next to Tang Mo’er and a small boy ran over. “Big sister, this is my ball. Can you return it to me?”
Tang Mo’er lifted her cherry lips and smiled. “Sure, little one. Here you go.”
Tang Mo’er handed the ball over.
Seeing that Tang Mo’er did not pick up the ball, the little boy hurled the plastic bottle in his hands towards her delicate face.
Although Tang Mo’er could not see, An’an could. She was very alert as she realized this little boy was acting rather strangely. In fact, she vaguely smelled a pungent smell…
Oh no! Was it sulfuric acid?!
This little boy was trying to use sulfuric acid to splash Tang Mo’er’s face. If Tang Mo’er had came into contact with it, she would become disfigured.
An’an’s pupils contracted and she shouted, “Young sister-in-law, it’s sulfuric acid! Dodge!!”
