Seeing Gu Liyan's weak appearance, Mo Han said irritably, "Alright, alright, hurry up and go back to your room to rest! I'll take care of the rest!"
Gu Liyan raised his head slightly, looking at Mo Han who was concerned about him. He wanted to say something, but then he saw Liu Mengxian beside him shut her mouth and start coughing incessantly...
