Gu Mochen: "..."

Upon hearing Jian Ran’s words, Gu Mochen’s handsome face turned deathly pale.

Every sentence from the woman landed heavily on his own heart.

Jian Ran... such hatred...

Even, the unforgivable...

Was it rape?

Gu Mochen’s hand clenched tightly... trying to explain, but as he pursed his thin lips and tried to speak, he felt an intense bitterness, not knowing where to start.

Upon this thought, Gu Mochen said hoarsely, "Mm... I understand."

Jian Ran curled her lips slightly, allowing the man to take her into his arms again and said softly, "Gu Mochen... it’s all in the past... If possible, I hope I never have to see him again in this lifetime with Tang Bao... So... Wang Wu, help me... drive him away... far away from Tang Bao."

"Mm..."

Gu Mochen raised his hand and gently stroked Jian Ran’s hair, his dark eyes flickering with a deep intensity.

Now was an opportunity, to conveniently transfer the annoyance in Jian Ran’s heart onto Wang Wu.

That way, he could clear himself from the situation...

Even, perhaps also seal away the events of 4 years ago once more.

Or should he... tell the truth now.

For the first time, Gu Mochen felt that there was something in life, capable of making him feel cowardice.

Gu Mochen’s dark eyes glinted with sober consideration, and after a long while, he said hoarsely, "Jian Ran... thank you for loving me... thank you for your honesty, for trusting me."

Jian Ran curled her lips into a smile, feeling the man’s large hand tenderly stroking her hair, and as she looked up into his deep, dark eyes, she said seriously, "Gu Mochen... I actually find it very difficult to trust someone... especially after my family’s downfall 4 years ago.

.. I trust you... you won’t harm me or Tang Bao.

.. and that you truly love me and Tang Bao.

.. So, perhaps in Yuncheng City, the person I trust most apart from Qin Mu is you. "

At this point, Jian Ran murmured in a low voice, "Um... If you ever deceive me... I might really not know whom to trust anymore... The blow might be no less than it was 4 years ago."

Jian Ran’s lips curved into a bright smile, her words not containing any deeper meaning, but to Gu Mochen’s ears, they brought immense pressure, his handsome face scattered with unnatural lights.

"Alright..."

In a place Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes did not observe, Gu Mochen’s dark eyes were fiercely agitated.

At this very moment... his heart was in agony.

Intense agony.

...

Jian Ran and Gu Mochen were affectionate in his office for a while, and she vaguely felt that there was something off about the man, but couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

Tang Bao was sleeping sweetly in Gu Mochen’s resting room, which Gu Mochen had arranged for his secretary to attend to.

Jian Ran went back directly to the design department.

Having confessed everything to Gu Mochen and shifting the troublesome burden of Wang Wu onto him, Jian Ran felt much relieved.

Um... Actually, the feeling of relying on Mr. Gu was fantastic.

...

Gu Mochen waited until Jian Ran left the office before he raised his hand and violently slammed it against the wall.

Shit!

Gu Mochen, you’re truly a fucking scumbag.

Gu Mochen’s emotions had been under control...

Until Jian Ran left, and then he could no longer restrain himself.

Regret, anxiety... guilt churned within him.

The confession he had planned... but because of Jian Ran’s mention of the unforgivable mistake... the words of confession that reached his lips could not, by any means, come out.
