438 The Rightful Daughter (1/2)

It is said that men who get married the first time are worth diamonds and divorcés are worth peanuts. That was why she chose to leave the title of Mrs Gu behind.

Though she was aware that in Mr Gu's mind, he didn't give a damn about being a bachelor or divorce, but ever since they had met, he was the one protecting her all along. She had limited capabilities and didn't have much to give him in return, she decided that this would be her final gift to him.

Hearing her words, Gu Mohan got down the stairs and stretched out his muscular arm, pulling Tang Mo'er into his embrace. He planted a kiss on her silky hair and whispered, ”It's a quick procedure to get a new identity card, we shall come back tomorrow.”

Tang Mo'er looped her arms around his trim waist, burying her pale face in his chest. She shut her eyes. ”Mr Gu, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you in this lifelong journey.”

Gu Mohan held her narrow waist tightly without relent, he couldn't help but want to hug her so tightly that she would fuse into his blood and bones. He wanted to become one with her. ”Mo'er, be good. You've not allowed to spout such nonsense again, we'll come back again tomorrow!”

”Mr Gu,” Tang Mo'er said smilingly, ”How about this, when I fully recover, I'll come over and register our marriage. If I don't recover, you're not allowed to forget about me even after you marry another Mrs Gu in the future. I want you to remember that I'm the one who left behind the title of Mrs Gu, I want you to… cherish me forever.”

Gu Mohan's eyes were bloodshot, he burrowed his face in her delicate neck. ”Mo'er, don't be afraid, we're not facing the end of our journey yet. Don't lose hope, I'll definitely save your life. I'll be sure to find a way to save your life. Nobody can take you away from me.”

He'd be sure to find a way to save her life, he wouldn't be willing to compromise for anything less than her full recovery.

Tang Mo'er took in his clean, masculine body scent before pushing him away. She ran her fingertips over his handsome face. She wasn't able to see all this while and she hadn't taken taken a good look at his face. He was still as good looking and charming as always, she couldn't help but fall for him again. ”Mr Gu, do you still remember your vow during your proposal? Before there's an eventual end to humanity, we would never be apart. As long as I'm alive, we will never part ways.”

Gu Mohan stretched out his bony fingers and pulled her hand over, holding it tightly. He looked right into her watery eyes and questioned her, ”Mo'er, will you… forget about me?”

He chose to ask her that question after all.

Would she forget about him?

She had forgotten the entire world, with the exception of him.

He was afraid, so afraid that she would eventually forget about him too.

Tang Mo'er was trying her best to engrave his face deep in her memory. She wanted to keep him inside her heart forever, so that his presence would never be diminished no matter how much time passed.

”Mr Gu, I'll never forget about you, it'll never happen in this lifetime.”

She made a pledge, swearing her never-ending promise to him.

Gu Mohan held her in his arms again, without relent. ”Mo'er, you must not forget your Mr Gu, you must not…”

…

In the Champagne Apartments.

Tang Mo'er had returned to her bedroom to have a nap, she felt her energy levels depleting rapidly and needed to have a good sleep.

In the study room, Gu Mohan had one hand in his trouser pocket and the other was holding on to his cell phone. The pharmacology research lab had phoned him. ”President, we're not capable of developing an antidote that is able to expel the love pea poison at this stage.”

Gu Mohan pursed his thin lips. ”I've got it, continue with your research.”

He hung up the phone.

Knock knock. Yan Dong's voice could be heard from outside. ”President.”
