Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Awkward and Stiff

If he weren’t Gu Yixuan, Mo Ran would have freely praised his physique. But since he was Gu Yixuan, although he had a handsome appearance, he harbored an evil heart.

He was the perfect combination of an angel and a demon.

Looking into his dark eyes, Mo Ran knew that he would surely do as he said. His only purpose in doing this was to force a reaction from her.

Closing her eyes for a moment, Mo Ran said in pain, "Fine, I’ll please you."

Every time Gu Yixuan threatened her, she wanted to refuse to the end, but she was timid, she didn’t want to die, especially not because of Gu Yixuan— that would be too unworthy.

It was because of her constant compromises that Gu Yixuan became overconfident, believing that she would never resort to suicide, and thus he did not foresee that she would indeed choose to take her own life later on.

Of course, that was a matter for the future.

Hearing her words, Gu Yixuan grinned, "If you had agreed earlier, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble."

He untied her hands and lay lazily on the bed, telling her, "Come here, perform well for me."

Rubbing her sore wrists, a glint of painful despair flashed through Mo Ran’s eyes. She really, really wanted to leave him!

Suppressing the urge to cry, she turned around, lay on top of him, and tremblingly closed her eyes to kiss his lips.

After all, it wasn’t as though they hadn’t done this before; it wasn’t a big deal, it was like she had just hired a male escort.

A beautiful one at that, and what’s more, for free.

Although Mo Ran thought this way, she still couldn’t muster any interest in Gu Yixuan. Kissing his lips felt utterly devoid of sensation, as if she were kissing something lifeless.

With no feelings for him, of course, there was no response.

Her kisses were awkward and mechanical, landing one by one on his lips, his Adam’s apple, his chest. It was like a detached stamping rather than a kiss.

Gu Yixuan’s pitch-black eyes watched her unblinkingly, watching her indifferent expression, her indifferent kisses.

His gaze grew darker and even colder...

"Enough!" Suddenly, he pushed her away and got up, slamming the door as he left.

Whew—

Mo Ran breathed a sigh of relief, having narrowly escaped a crisis. She got up, put on her pajamas, poured a glass of water, took a contraceptive pill, and then lay down in bed to sleep.

The next day when she woke up, she didn’t see Gu Yixuan. The elderly nanny said she hadn’t seen him at all, guessing that he had left the night before.
