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.
