17 Karghaliks Greatest Beauty Had Been Rejected (2/2)

The next morning, Tang Mo'er woke up with two large dark circles under her puffy eyes. She wasn't able to fall asleep the previous night since her mind was full of her humiliating deeds. She had only fallen asleep for a short period in the morning, after tossing and turning for most of the night, the images replaying in her head on an endless repeat.

In order to cover up her dark eye circles, she put on some light makeup.

Her ringtone started to sound as she finished up, indicating an incoming call.

It was Han Xiaowan.

A phone call from this person had arrived earlier than she had expected. She slid her fingers across the phone screen to pick up the incoming call, ”Hello.”

”Hello, sister.” Han Xiaowan used a soft voice to speak with Tang Mo'er.

Hearing her pretentious voice, Tang Mo'er felt a competitiveness rise from inside her. Han Xiaowan had always used the greeting ”sister” to annoy her and it never failed to grate on her nerves. Without the usual niceties, she sneered into the mouthpiece, ”I heard that you'd been attacked by a hater and have been admitted into hospital. It seems like you're already fine, since you sound so energetic.”

Han Xiaowan did not appear to notice the taunt in Mo'er's biting words, instead, replying sweetly, ”Thank you, sister, for your concern. I'm fine now.”

”Why are you contacting me?”

”Sister, are you free today? Shall we meet up today? We haven't had a good talk since a long time ago.”

”Okay, where shall we meet?”

Han Xiaowan gave her the address of a shopping mall and Tang Mo'er ended the phone call. She changed out of her home clothing, picking up her handbag before stepping out of her bedroom.

…

She was about to head out directly, but a deep voice interrupted her as she walked past the living room. ”You've woken up, come here and have some breakfast.”

Tang Mo'er turned around and saw Gu Mohan standing in the living room. He wore a navy blue shirt with pressed black trousers. His clothes were ironed perfectly and he looked every bit a proper gentleman from a noble family.

Tang Mo'er felt uneasy the moment her eyes landed on Gu Mohan. She was immediately reminded of yesterday's incident, but swallowed it down and caught a silent breath.

Since she was a little hungry, she decided to sit down to have breakfast. It would have seemed even more guilty if she refused and she would not embarrass herself any further.
