The Canary that couldn't escape

Chapter 768: Chapter 769: The Cold War Erupts Again 2

"Um, sorry, I can’t visit you today... I have some things to handle," Mo Ran spoke softly.

"What’s wrong? Your voice sounds off; did you run into some trouble?"

"I’m fine. Take care to rest well. I’ll call you another time, goodbye." After hanging up the phone, Mo Ran bent over, holding her stomach, her eyebrows furrowed tightly.

Such a bad stomachache, could it be my period...?

On the first day of her period, she would always be in excruciating pain.

She had taken lots of medicine, but it hadn’t regulated properly.

Mo Ran anxiously looked around. By then, it had already gotten dark, and there were few people on the street. What if she fainted; would anyone notice?

Not far off was a public restroom, thankfully. In anticipation of her period these past few days, she had placed a sanitary napkin in her purse.

Coming out of the restroom, the pain in Mo Ran’s abdomen became even more intense, and every step she took was uncomfortable.

Sitting back down where she started, she hugged her stomach tightly, gritting her teeth to endure the pain.

Soon, her body began to sweat profusely, and she experienced waves of darkness before her eyes.

At this moment, every passing minute was torture for her.

.........................

At the same moment, inside a villa in Banshan Garden.

Gu Yixuan sat at the dining table, facing a table full of food with absolutely no appetite.

All of this was for dinner, which had been served an hour ago. The dishes had long turned cold, and Gu Yixuan hadn’t taken a single bite.

He just sat there in silence, not saying anything, his face grim.

Seeing his mood was off and his occasional glances towards the door, the grandmother figured he must be waiting for Miss Mo to come back for dinner.

Probably Miss Mo hadn’t come back yet, which is why he was angry.

Feeling helpless, the grandmother tried to ask, "Why hasn’t Miss Mo come back yet? Second Young Master, have you called her?"

Gu Yixuan abruptly stood up and said indifferently, "Clear all this away!"

"But you haven’t eaten yet..."

He didn’t answer her; instead, he turned and went upstairs, entering his room and slammed the door shut with a ’thud’.

The grandmother was puzzled; could it be that the two had quarreled?

After some thought, she decided to give Mo Ran a call.

Upon receiving the call from home, Mo Ran wondered if it could be Gu Yixuan calling.

But her mood was no longer as buoyant as before.

"Hello." She answered the call, speaking in a low voice.
