464 Distancing Herself (1/2)
Champagne Apartments.
In the room, there was a faint yellow lamp on the bedside cabinet. Tang Mo'er's luscious, long eyelashes quivered a little before she opened her eyes. Her bright, clear eyes dazedly looked at the resplendent chandelier above her. She turned her head towards the door.
There was a tall, handsome figure standing by the door. Gu Mohan was standing against the light, looking graceful and polished.
Both of their eyes met. Gu Mohan swiftly curved his thin lips and his low voice was laced with tenderness. ”Mo'er…”
Tang Mo'er averted her gaze from his handsome face and looked elsewhere. She was searching for the person she wanted to find.
”Mr Gu… Mr Gu…” she called softly. Lifting the blanket, she stood up on the carpet and ran towards to the door without any shoes on.
”Mr Gu, where are you? Mr Gu, please come out. Don't scare me!” Tang Mo'er's pretty face blanched.
”Mo'er.” At this point, Jun Chulin emerged at the door.
The moment Tang Mo'er saw Jun Chulin, her eyes lit up, and she rushed over to him to jump into his embrace. Her little hands hugged Jun Chulin's muscular waist and she smiled happily. ”Mr Gu, you're finally here. Where did you go? Please don't leave me alone in the future, okay?”
The woman in his arms was getting weaker and did not seem to bear any weight on him. But when other women slimmed down, they became all bony, which made it uncomfortable for him to hug them. Tang Mo'er was an exception. The bones in her body seemed to be soft. Her skin was smooth and delicate, and she exuded a faint scent of a young girl. One could not get enough of hugging her.
Jun Chulin nodded. ”Alright, I will not leave you in the future. Mo'er, don't be scared.”
Auntie Wu saw this scene unfold before her and quietly looked at Gu Mohan, who was beside her. ”Sir, this…”
Gu Mohan's handsome figure stood there. He suddenly clenched his hands, that were hanging down by his sides. His deep and narrow eyes landed on Tang Mo'er. She had completely forgotten about him and was hugging another man…
It felt as if a large palm was squeezing his heart. He felt waves of contractions and it hurt to breathe.
His handsome facial features were rigid and became dark and hostile. His deep eyes reddened. He wanted badly to rush up to Tang Mo'er, snatch her away from Jun Chulin's embrace and envelope her in his arms.
He would hug her tightly and assimilate her into his flesh and blood. That way, no one would be able to take her away from his life.
However, he dared not to do so.
He was aware that her physical health was deteriorating and he dared not agitate her.
Moreover, he did not dare to frighten her, for fear that she might hate him.
Gu Mohan's handsome face was downcast. He went into the room and picked up the pink slippers that were beside the bed.
”Mo'er, put these shoes on.”
Tang Mo'er let go of Jun Chulin and turned her head. Gu Mohan was standing before her. This tall man was at least 1.9 meters tall and he hunched his broad body, placing her pink slippers next to her white feet.
Tang Mo'er paused. Who was he?
Gu Mohan was kneeling on one knee in front of her. He could see her dainty little feet, which were as fair, smooth and exquisite as a seashell. He stretched out his well-defined large palm to touch her feet, so that he could put on her shoes for her.
But before he could touch them, the two little feet retreated back fearfully.
Tang Mo'er withdrew her feet. A girl's feet could not be touched casually by a man. She would only allow Mr Gu to touch them.
Who was this man?
