Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle
chapter-378

Call him husband.

Tang Mo’er was almost tempted to do so. In order to hold down her emotions and remain rational and calm, she clenched her tiny fists so hard they formed crescent moons against her dainty palms.

“Aren’t you going to marry to Lu Qi’er? Ask her to call you husband then.”

Gu Mohan stretched out his hand and held her tiny waist, pulling her onto his lap. He whispered, “Tang Mo’er, one day, you’ll call me your husband.”

Tang Mo’er raised her eyebrows and snorted.

Gu Mohan’s facial expression changed and he asked anxiously, “What’s wrong? Where does it hurt?”

Seeing his concern, Tang Mo’er was reminded of his violent actions that very night when he was drunk.

As much as she loved him, she would never forget the torture and physical abuse he put her through when she was already at her worst.

Her body had hurt for a long time. Although she had been lying in bed for many days to recover, she still felt a slight pain when he touched her.

Two small hands reached his muscular chest to push him away.

“You don’t have to care wherever it hurts! Don’t touch me!”

Her words were filled with grievance and blame. Coupled with her soft, natural voice, it tugged at Gu Mohan’s heartstrings and his heart softened.

His eyes lowered and his voice was a low whisper full of self reproach. “Mo’er, I’m sorry about what happened that night, I didn’t have sex with that woman. It was meant to agitate you. I lied in the hope that you would find me, I just…”

He felt extremely hurt, the thought of her being with Jun Chulin angered him. Even now, he just wanted to pull her into the depths of hell with him.

He was unable to let her go, so he decided to torture them both.

However, he was wrong.

Tang Mo’er was shocked. He… he didn’t have sex with that woman after all.

She knew it.

She knew it!

Her soft voice was monotonous when she replied, “Let go of me. I want to go home. Chenyi is still waiting for me outside.”

Gu Mohan hugged her tightly for a while, his thin lips brushed through her silky hair.

“You’ll be there on the day of my wedding, right?”

Tang Mo’er was stunned and her entire body stiffened. Why would she be there at his wedding with Lu Qi’er? As an onlooker so she could watch them share their loving vows while she sat there, cold and bitter?

Why would he ask that of her? In his mind, was she really so magnanimous in his mind to be able to give her blessings to a rival in love?

She pushed him away forcefully and left.

“Mo’er, there’s a bachelorette party downstairs and an important guest is going to come tonight. Shiyu and An’an are going to be there. You don’t want to see them?”

…

As Lu Qi’er was about to get married with Gu Mohan, she held a bachelorette party at Jinhua Palace.

The only thing Tang Mo’er wanted to do was to leave. However, the thought of not being able to see Shiyu and An’an anymore struck her. She needed to see them.

Colourful Christmas trees adorned with shimmering lights were spread across the lawn and a white marquee assembled in the middle. There was a plethora of food and drinks, the party was extremely lively.

Lin Shiyu felt that she was hungry and wanted to find something to eat. However, she did not feel like eating any of the food available.

She did not know why her appetite had been so lousy recently.

A whiff of barbecued meat wafted past and drifted into her nose. Lin Shiyu used her hands to cover her mouth, she felt nauseous.

She ran far away and threw up.

As she had not eaten anything, she only spat out a little gastric juice. She felt horrible.

Standing up again, she realized there was a hawthorn tree in front of her. The tree was filled with ripe hawthorns that looked fresh and juicy.

The thought of the sour, tangy hawthorn taste made her salivate.

Mmmm, she wanted to eat some so badly.

However, the tree was so tall. It was impossible for her to pick the hawthorn.

How could she get some?

At this moment, a deep voice rang in her ears.

“You want to eat it?”
