Chapter 17 I'm Here to Pick You Up 5

```

"But, can we just let this matter go unpunished? Is there no law left that they could beat you to this state?" Mo Yan had been holding it in for a long time, but she finally burst into tears.

Crying doesn't mean she wasn't hurting. It's just that she needed to be strong. Mo Yan had always been the precious pearl of the family, not one to suffer grievances or indignities, so she had to be strong to take good care of her.

"Ranran... let's just let it go... it's my own fault..."

"Sister, tell me, why did they do this to you?"

"I..."

"Sister! Don't you even want to talk to me about it?"

Mo Yan simply closed her eyes and said indifferently, "My whole body feels awful, stop asking."

Mo Ran had no choice but to suppress her questions and silently sighed.

Time quickly passed, and by evening, Mo Ran was still at the hospital taking care of Mo Yan, completely forgetting what Gu Yixuan had said to her. Her phone rang, and seeing it was an unfamiliar number, she answered it.

"Mo Ran, I'm waiting for you downstairs. Come down quickly," Gu Yixuan said before hanging up.

Mo Ran was stunned for two seconds before she came to her senses.

"Whose call was it?" Mo Yan asked her.

"Someone I know." She hesitated, then spoke up, "Sister, I need to step out for a while, I will be back later."

Mo Yan nodded indifferently, "Go ahead. Just remember to come back early, I can't move around well."

"Mhm."

When she arrived downstairs, Mo Ran got straight into Gu Yixuan's car and got right to the point, "President Gu, regarding the matter I agreed to last night. Can you… pretend it didn't count?"

Gu Yixuan slowly turned to look at her, "What are you talking about?"

Mo Ran looked down and bit her lip, "I... don't want to be your woman..."

Her chin was suddenly seized, and Gu Yixuan's chilling voice rang in her ear, "You want to go back on your word?" His voice sounded very dangerous; Mo Ran couldn't help but shiver.

"It's not that… Can't we agree on something else? We're not from the same world; we're not a good match..." she hurriedly explained.

Gu Yixuan smiled lightly, his smile like a poison-laden poppy, "You just need to be my woman, what does being suitable have to do with anything?"

Worried that she didn't understand, he continued to explain, "Did you think I was making you my girlfriend? Woman, don't be too naive. I just want to have you, make you my woman. As long as you're a woman and can satisfy me in bed, that's enough."
