章節 196: Chapter 196: Giving Him the Cold Shoulder

Knowing that he had misunderstood her, he was annoyed, but his pride prevented him from swallowing his pride and apologizing to her.

The two of them remained at a standoff. Sometimes he would initiate conversation, but Mo Ran would just respond with 'Hmm' or 'Oh,' making him feel increasingly bored.

He wanted to lash out at her, but seeing her looking ill and weak, he couldn't bring himself to do it and ended up stewing in his own frustrations alone.

He wanted to be nicer to her but didn't know how.

All he could do was stay with her at the hospital and keep her company during her IV drips.

Mo Ran looked at the IV tubes, her gaze somewhat distant. She no longer looked at Gu Yixuan, nor did she persuade him to go back anymore. Unaware, she drifted off to sleep.

When she awoke, she found Gu Yixuan still sitting beside her, his eyes fixated on a spot on the floor, lost in thought.

The night outside was deep. Mo Ran checked her phone and saw that it was already midnight.
