Chapter 1259: The Pain of Leaving
Gu Mohan understood everything in an instant.
He still remembered the first time he saw Lu Yeming. Back then, he had been a solemn youth. At that time, Mo’er had tripped him on purpose and he had reached out to grab her waist.
He had remembered that scene even after all these years. He had grabbed Mo’er’s waist, then let go just as suddenly. It was because of that action that Gu Mohan knew immediately from then.
The first person who had found out about his love was actually Gu Mohan.
But he had never exposed him because he had seen how this solemn youth had quickly retracted his hands after touching her waist. He knew that this man would never try to s.n.a.t.c.h her away secretly. This hidden love of his was pure and untainted.
Gu Mohan looked at Lu Yeming, and without saying another word, walked upstairs.
…
In the apartment.
Jun Xiqing had left. Tang Mo’er opened the door for Gu Mohan and he entered.
“Mr Gu, you’re done with your meeting?” Tang Mo’er looked at him gently.
Gu Mohan lifted his long fingers to undo the b.u.t.tons on his coat. He felt as though Tang Mo’er was gentler than usual today.
They had been together for almost six years now. She had turned from 21 to 26, and he was 35 this year. He was at that golden age where a man was the most charismatic due to his maturity.
Their fiery love at the start has slowly calmed and matured, so much that even a kiss in a rental car was akin to a vow for eternal love towards each other.
Reaching out, Tang Mo’er took his coat and hugged it close to her before bending down to bring him his slippers to change into. As Gu Mohan looked at the soft body rolled up beside his legs, his gaze softened.
“I saw Yeming downstairs,” he said softly.
Tang Mo’er froze, then looked up at him and asked, “You know everything then?”
Gu Mohan nodded. “Yes.”
“When did you find out?”
“From a long time ago. I already knew when we first got together.”
What? Tang Mo’er’s thick lashes quivered. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
With a raise of his handsome brows, Gu Mohan said lovingly, yet a little impatiently, “He wasn’t wrong to love you. He didn’t demand anything of you, just your company. But Mo’er, I know you love him too. If I told you, how would you ever let him be free? Once you knew, your brother-sister relations.h.i.+p would come to an end.
“I didn’t want you to be sad. It was fine if another person loved you.”
Tang Mo’er’s heart softened. She stood up and leaped into Gu Mohan’s embrace. As Gu Mohan wrapped his arms around her soft body, he held her closer to him.
“Mr Gu…”
She wrapped her small hands tightly around his neck, burying her small face in his suit as she called his name softly.
Gu Mohan lowered his face and rubbed his thin lips softly against her forehead. He laughed softly and said, “Why are you being so coy?”
Hot tears swirled behind her eyelids as Tang Mo’er shut her eyes, not letting them fall. “The best thing that happened to me in my entire life was meeting you.”
When he heard this, Gu Mohan laughed out loud and held her face in his hands. “Your lips really are sweet. Let me have a taste, did you eat some candy?”
He kissed her soft lips.
Mm, she really did have some candy.
He deepened the kiss until Tang Mo’er’s face was burning red. She poked him with one finger and said, “Go take a shower first.”
Gu Mohan hugged her and said reluctantly, “Give me a while more.”
“Go now, and I’ll… wash your back for you~”
Gu Mohan’s eyes lit up and he looked at her uncertainty. “Really?”
It had been a long time since they were together. Half a year, or even longer.
His father and grandfather had pa.s.sed away, so he had been busy with the merger for C.T Corporation and the Gu Corporation. He had not had time for her at all.
And she hadn’t been letting him touch her as well.
Every time he tried to be intimate, she would push him away, then fearing that he would be angry, she would kiss him. In fact, he had been thoroughly tortured by her quite a few times. It was so uncomfortable, yet he still yearned to be tightly in her embrace.
“Really.” Tang Mo’er nodded vigorously.
Gu Mohan bent down and picked her up in his arms, making his way to the bathroom.
…
In the bathroom.
The warm water rained down on them, steam rising from their bodies. It was warm in the shower.
Tang Mo’er had a pink dress on and she was wiping his exquisite back with a towel. “Mr Gu, does it hurt?”
She was afraid she was using too much strength.
Gu Mohan raised his eyebrows as droplets of water ran down his back following the contours of his muscles. Her scrubbing felt like little ants biting his back. It was slightly sore yet pleasant at the same time. “It doesn’t hurt.”
“Alright, then I’m done.”
Done? Gu Mohan turned around and looked at her with his narrow eyes. “You’re only going to wash half of me? What about the bottom?”
Tang Mo’er was speechless.
There was a towel wrapped around his slim waist. She had insisted that he put it on or she wouldn’t come in.
Tang Mo’er’s eyes shot downwards before she grabbed her towel and threw it at him. “You can do it yourself.”
She turned around to run.
“You naughty little rabbit!” He reached out and pulled her delicate body into his embrace. Then he bent down to kiss her little ear as his voice rumbled huskily into her ear, “Call me Husband.”
Tang Mo’er felt her legs go weak. She hadn’t called him that in a long time.
“Hubby,” she called out gently.
Gu Mohan felt his waist go numb as his whole body trembled. Her calling him “Hubby” had almost taken his soul away.
“Hubby, I miss Niuniu,” Tang Mo’er said from his embrace.
Gu Mohan kissed her soft hair and said, “Niuniu is in a sealed-off training ground, so we can’t see him yet. It’ll be spring in a month. We can see him then.”
“Oh.” She acknowledged this softly.
Gu Mohan immediately sensed that something was wrong. He placed his hands and spun her around and found her small face was already soaked in tears.
“What’s wrong? Don’t cry,” Gu Mohan said as he wiped away her tears, his heart aching as he panicked.
But he couldn’t wipe away all the tears falling from her eyes. They rolled down her face non-stop and he could only watch as his heart wrenched in pain.
“Alright, stop crying, stop crying! If you really miss Niuniu, I’ll bring him over right now.”
She blinked and lifted her head to look at him with watery eyes. “You promised. I want you to get him now.”
“Alright, I’ll get Yan Dong to prepare a flight now. I’ll fly over immediately to bring Niuniu back.” Gu Mohan prepared to leave after he said this.
Tang Mo’er grabbed him and tiptoed to bite the corner of his lips.
Hiss.
Gu Mohan hissed softly in pained pleasure. It seemed she really loved torturing him today.
“Hubby, do you love me?” she asked as she gazed at him with tears rolling down her face.
