The most frightening thing was the sudden silence. Gu Liyan didn't know what to say at this moment, but he thought that if he didn't speak, their relationship would definitely be in trouble.
“Um…you two calm down first. Xi Yue, you need to think this over. Mo Mo is still injured, don’t hold a grudge against her,” Gu Liyan said.
After Gu Liyan finished speaking, he kept winking at Lin Momo: "Why don't you pretend for a moment now!"
But Lin Momo didn't seem to notice, and instead said, "Don't worry about me, my injury is all healed."
Gu Liyan stared wide-eyed at Lin Momo, almost roaring, "Lin Momo, what am I supposed to do with you, you straight woman? Do you even want to get married?!"
Yan Xiyue's eyes reddened slightly upon hearing this. It would be a lie to say she wasn't worried about Lin Momo's injury, but Lin Momo was just a stubborn person.
In Yan Xiyue's view, Lin Momo said that to prevent her from taking care of her and to leave her out in the cold. How could she not be angry?
"Now that you're healed, I don't need to stay and take care of you anymore! I'm calling my family right now to have them come and pick me up!" Yan Xiyue said angrily.
Lin Momo lowered her eyes and said coldly, "What? Are you in such a hurry to go back and get married?"
Li Hao stared wide-eyed from the side: Bro, you'll never get a girlfriend if you keep talking like that!
Yan Xiyue was indeed furious, "Yes! I'm in a hurry to remarry! Are you satisfied now!"
Lin Momo didn't say anything, but Yan Xiyue had already run into the room crying.
Hua Baixian glanced at Lin Momo and sighed, "You, how come you don't know how to make a girl happy at all?"
Lin pursed her lips and said quietly, "I'm doing this for her own good..."
Lin Momo meant that the dish contained toxins, so it shouldn't be eaten by anyone. She threw it away so that Yan Xiyue wouldn't harm anyone.
Hua Baixian sighed, got up, and left. Li Hao, standing to the side, shook his head and said, "I always thought I was single because I was ugly, but now I know it's not because I'm ugly, but because I'm not sweet-talking enough!"
Gu Liyan glared at Li Hao, annoyed. "Don't talk nonsense! Momo, don't worry about it. Xiyue will understand once she figures it out."
Lin Momo's face looked rather pale. She wearily raised her head and looked at Gu Liyan. "Brother Mo, I'm a little tired."
Gu Liyan gave Li Hao a wink, and Li Hao immediately understood, carrying Lin Momo on his back. "Let's go to my room and rest for a bit."
Yan Xiyue cried bitterly in the room. She never expected that her efforts to change things would result in such a consequence. Even if Lin Momo said it didn't taste good, it wouldn't matter, but she shouldn't have lied to her and treated her so coldly!
She cried for a long time and even got a little tired, but Lin Momo never came in to comfort her.
“Lin Momo, you’ve really changed…” Yan Xiyue said, her voice choked with emotion.
Before, her world revolved around her alone, overflowing with love and affection; everything belonged to her alone. But now things are different. Many people have entered Lin Momo's life, taking away the affection that once belonged to her…
Yan Xiyue thought how wonderful it would be if Gu Liyan, Hua Baixian, and Li Hao weren't by her side. That way, Lin Momo would belong to her alone!
Loving someone is selfish. Yan Xiyue loves Lin Momo, so let her be a little more selfish—
Lin Momo has a fever; it's a sign that the wound on her back is infected.
"We didn't buy enough anti-inflammatory medicine. Haozi has already gone to buy some. You should rest for a bit and get some sleep," Gu Liyan said.
Lin Momo was feeling a bit groggy, and hearing Gu Liyan's words made it impossible for her to fall asleep. "Yue, she..."
"Don't worry, she didn't leave. She was just angry for a moment, that's why she treated you that way, don't take it to heart," Gu Liyan said with a smile.
Based on Gu Liyan's experience, Yan Xiyue must be waiting in the room for Lin Momo to comfort her, but Lin Momo is a straightforward and honest woman who is also injured, so it seems that she will not be able to come.
Lin Momo, her face pale and weak, said, "Mo Li, if she wants to leave, please don't stop her..."
Gu Liyan stared wide-eyed at Lin Momo with a puzzled look. "Why? Don't you love her?"
“It’s because I like her and love her that I want her to make her own choice.” Lin Momo smiled bitterly. “I used to selfishly think that I would make her happy, but I was unknowingly depriving her of her hobbies. This time I finally understand that loving someone means knowing how to let go, trust is the foundation, and letting her do what she likes.”
Gu Liyan looked at Lin Momo and suddenly realized that even though he had liked Hua Baixian for hundreds of years, he still hadn't grasped the true meaning of love!
Lin Momo fell asleep, and Gu Liyan's heart was in turmoil. He could selfishly stay by Hua Baixian's side for a lifetime, but was just being there for her enough?
He used to be able to protect her, but now that he has fallen from grace, he will only drag her down with him. How can he protect her future then?
Gu Liyan looked at Lin Momo, and he knew—it was time to make a decision!
The midday sun was shining brightly, and the small manor had been well-managed by Gu Liyan and Hua Baixian. The fresh air put everyone in a good mood, but then an uninvited guest arrived.
"Hello, we are from the 13th Precinct. There was a car explosion two days ago, and we found survivors. We suspect they were kidnapped, so we're here to check." Li Jin said expressionlessly.
"Huh? What does your hiring of kidnappers have to do with me?" Li Hao opened the door, and for some reason, he looked displeased with Li Jin!
Seeing Li Hao's nonchalant attitude, Li Jin became even more annoyed. "Please cooperate with our work, otherwise..."
"What? You want to fight? I graduated from police academy too! I'm not afraid of you!" Li Hao rolled up his sleeves.
