Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

An’an gradually opened her eyes.

When all she saw was a vault, she took a few seconds to realize she was in her own room and lying on her bed.

“An’an, you’re awake?” A sensual voice sounded in her ears.

An’an looked beside her, it was Tang Mo’er.

“Little sister-in-law, how long have I been asleep?”

“It’s the afternoon now.”

What?!

Gu Mohan walked into the room, glancing at Tang Mo’er first before his gaze shifted onto An’an. “An’an, your condition is getting worse and the medicine you’re taking is not enough to keep your leukemia under control. But don’t worry, I’ve already arranged for your treatment in the hospital, you just have to stay there to undergo chemotherapy. Please just hold up in there for seven months, once the time is up, we’ll have a way to save you with the cord blood.”

An’an glanced at Gu Mohan. “Brother, what if the stem cell transplant doesn’t work?”

Pursing his lips, Gu Mohan looked at An’an with a stern gaze. “An’an, what are you trying to say?”

An’an lowered her lashes and shook her head. “I’m not trying to say anything.”

Gu Mohan furrowed his brows. “We’re going to head back in just a few days after handling all these matters.”

“Oh.” An’an responded. She held onto her purse tightly and said, “I’ll run my errands first then.”

Her only errand was Lu Yan.

…

An’an had left and Gu Mohan glanced at Tang Mo’er. He lifted his hand and caressed her face. “Mo’er.”

His calloused fingertips ran over her delicate skin and Tang Mo’er felt her goosebumps rise in short order. She quickly took two steps backwards, avoiding his touch.

Gu Mohan’s hand was left suspended in mid-air, ever since his split personality took control of him the other time, Tang Mo’er had started avoiding him since then.

He retracted his hand, speaking with a deep and magnetic voice. “Mo’er, the next few days are going to be eventful. You shan’t run around recklessly, remember to just be good and stay in your own room, understood?”

Tang Mo’er placed her hand on her tummy and nodded. “Got it.”

She then stretched her legs out and walked away.

Like that, she had left.

Gu Mohan stood on the spot, watching her leave and he didn’t avert his gaze even after she was long gone.

…

Lu Yan’s drug addiction had acted up again when An’an left last night and it happened again right when An’an visited him again today.

Lu Yan’s condition was getting worse by the day. His entire face was drained of color and drops of perspiration trickled down, he wasn’t looking good at all.

“Brother Li, have you found the cordyceps?” An Xi asked.

Li Si shook his head. “I’ve asked the TCM pharmacist, she told me that it’s extremely rare and only found in the deep mountains. I’ve provided a monetary reward for many people to head inside the deep mountains to go look for it but there hasn’t been any news yet. They probably haven’t found it.”

An Xi’s face darkened. “We need to go and find some other alternatives then.”

An Xi went over to open the door and there was a lithe figure standing outside. It was An’an.

What was she doing here?

“Miss An’an, why are you here again? Can you please stop coming. Brother Ah Yan is already in such a state, why are you still here to look for him? There’s nothing you can get out of him already.” An Xi frowned as she spoke to An’an.

Li Si had walked over too and he looked in An’an’s eyes as he said, “Miss An’an, hadn’t I made myself clear yesterday? Can you please stop disturbing us? If you really do care for Yan Zi, you shouldn’t be pestering him, especially now.”

They were both Lu Yan’s closest friends and both of them stopped her at the door. An’an wasn’t able to get inside.

An’an looked over their shoulders, they tied Lu Yan on the chair again in order to stop him from harming himself.

“The two of you should get out,” An’an said instead.

Li Si and An Xi’s faces darkened. This An’an was asking them to get out?

“Miss An’an, you’re being very annoying.”

Annoying?

Whatever.

It didn’t matter even if his best friends weren’t fond of her.

An’an opened her fist and showed them the cordyceps, before she threatened them with a wry smile on her face. “If you still want to save Lu Yan’s life, get out now. And that means the both of you.”
