At this moment, a pleasant voice sounded close to his ear. “Brother Mohan, you’re awake?”

Gu Mohan stared at the ceiling for a few seconds and narrowed his eyes. After regaining his composure, he gradually turned and looked at her.

It was Lu Qi’er.

And she was brimming with joy.

The happiness in Gu Mohan’s eyes gradually faded. He pressed his thin, pale lips together into a line and he sat up.

“Brother Mohan, let me help you up.” Lu Qi’er offered.

Gu Mohan leaned over and did not let her touch him. Seeing there was was still a drip attached to his hand, he stretched out his hand and removed the catheter before getting off the bed.

“Brother Mohan, where are you going? You’re not allowed to go out. Your fever only just subsided. You’ll still need to stay in the hospital to be under observation.” Lu Qi’er tugged onto his sleeve.

Gu Mohan stared stone-faced at the hands holding onto his sleeves.

“Let go of me.”

His voice was very hoarse.

The aura exuding from his body was hellish, more than enough to make one shudder. Lu Qi’er retracted her hand in silence and pouted.

Gu Mohan stretched out his long legs which were stronger and firmer than usual. He looked well enough as he placed his hands on the doorknob and opened the door.

Huo Yanmei approached him almost immediately.

“Mohan, you’re awake? That’s great. I’ve asked the doctor give you a full-body checkup… where are you going?

Gu Mohan stopped in his tracks. He glared at Huo Yanmei and asked, “Did Tang Mo’er come?”

His voice was very hoarse.

Tang Mo’er.

Yet again, it was all about Tang Mo’er.

His fever had only just subsided and he had been unconscious for almost 24 hours, yet the first thing he asked was whether Tang Mo’er had visited?

Huo Yanmei twisted her lips in dissatisfaction and replied, “No. Tang Mo’er did not come. I did not see her.”

Gu Mohan cleared his throat and left the ward.

“Gu Mohan, are you going to find Tang Mo’er? I won’t allow you to do so! You’re already engaged to Lu Qi’er. Why must you continue to pester Tang Mo’er? How can you let yourself be bewitched by her. Are you planning to follow your father’s footsteps? You’re going to lose yourself over her someday.”

Gu Mohan pressed the elevator button. Ding! The elevator doors opened. Turning back, he looked at Huo Yanmei and pursed his thin lips.

“I am me. Father is father. He was the supporting role in that relationship 30 years ago. I’m different to him. I am the male lead.”

“…”

The lift door immediately closed while Huo Yanmei still stood there.

Lu Qi’er was stamping her feet in anger. Despite being Gu Mohan’s fiancée, Gu Mohan had treated her as if she was invisible.

A thought crossed her mind amidst the anger and Lu Qi’er suddenly let out a smug smile.

Let’s see if he’ll still want Tang Mo’er when he finds out she’s slept with his father.

…

In the Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Gu Mohan hooked the bluetooth earpiece onto his ear and turned the steering wheel. The Rolls-Royce Phantom thrummed into action and took off steadily down the highway.

“Yan Dong, help me check where Tang Mo’er is.”

“Yes, President.”

Within moments, Yan Dong came back with a response. “President, Miss Tang is now in the Bangkok Hotel.”

Hotel?

Gu Mohan remained completely expressionless and did not frown. He snorted casually, “Hm?”

Yan Dong seemed reluctant, before responding, “Miss Tang went for a date with… Jun Chulin.”
