<h4>Chapter 221: Chapter 222 His Skin Is Thicker Than a Thousand Layered Pancakes</h4><h4></h4>


    Gu Yixuan looked at her calmly and said, "Do you really want to leave me that much?"


    Mo Ran sat up and nodded vigorously, "Yes, I want to leave you. I dream of leaving you!"


    The man was silent.


    She pressed on, "You’ve had my body too. What more do you want? You don’t love me, and I don’t love you either. What’s the point of entangling ourselves like this? Gu Yixuan, please let me go. You’ll find a woman who enjoys pleasing you; you’ll be happy and at ease, as long as you let me go."


    Gu Yixuan stood up, arms folded across his chest, still saying nothing.


    Mo Ran, her mouth dry and her tongue parched, licked her lips and continued to plead, "Name your price, whatever I can do, I will do. I promise you, I will give birth to the child, and you will always be the child’s father. I’ll let the child meet you, you can see him whenever you want. As long as we don’t live together, anything you say goes."


    But what he wanted was for them to live together as a family.


    "Are you done?" he raised an eyebrow.


    "Yes."


    "Go downstairs and eat your meal first." He reached out to pull her hand, but Mo Ran, furious, jerked it away.


    "Did you even listen to a word I said? I’ve said so much, show some reaction!"


    "What reaction do you want me to show?"


    Indeed, what reaction could he show? He had made it clear he wouldn’t let her go; any reaction from him would only infuriate her more.


    "I won’t eat!" Mo Ran turned her head away petntly, seething with anger to the point of exploding.


    Her temper was usually mild, and she rarely got into arguments with others, but this time she was really angry, so angry she felt like beating Gu Yixuan up.


    Seeing her huffing and puffing, Gu Yixuan chuckled softly, pinched her smooth cheek, and said with augh, "Like a child. Aren’t you ashamed?"


    "Don’t touch me!" Mo Ran iled to swat his hand away.


    "Truly a child," the manughed even more joyfully.


    Mo Ran really wanted to roll her eyes. What was this guy’s face made of? It was thicker than a thousandyer cake!


    "Come on, let’s go eat. Grandma made a lot of dishes you love." He bent down to grasp her hand.


    Inexplicably, Mo Ran stood up abruptly, and her head smashed hard against his chin.


    "Hiss—" Gu Yixuan uttered softly, wincing in pain.


    Mo Ran also rubbed her aching head and, seeing him, couldn’t help but blurt out, "Serves you right!"


    ...


    Latter on, a part where their rtionship improves will be written. It can’t all be about torment.
