She started crying.
As Gu Mohan looked at her tear-filled face, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken, witnessing such a scene.
He felt as though someone was squeezing his heart tightly, the pain was sudden and strong. His Adam's apple bobbed and his originally deep voice sounded ever so gentle. "I didn't mean to be fierce to you, I'm sorry, please don't cry…"
It was that same magnetic voice and tone that she was familiar with, he was coaxing her once again. It was her Mr Gu.
Tang Mo'er started sobbing even more, she whimpered, "Gu Mohan, just let go of me… We'll both fall into the valley if you don't…"
"I promise to not let anything bad happen to you, hm?"
Yes, she believed him.
Back when she had contracted the love pea poison, Mr Gu had reassured her in that exact same way. He promised to protect her and not let anything bad happen to her, and then… something bad happened to him instead.
She couldn't let it happen again.
