Mo Ran gasped for breath as he let go of him, pressing tightly against the wall, ready to face his fate. "Kill or slash me as you wish!"
She knew the consequences of disrespecting such an important person were severe.
But she didn't regret it. Even given another chance, she would do it again.
Gu Yixuan's eyes were deep, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, his body tense as if he were struggling to hold something back.
Mo Ran thought he was trying to control himself to avoid hitting someone.
What if he really hit her?
"Um, if you're going to hit me, could you please not hit my face?" she pleaded in a soft voice.
What kind of person was Gu Yixuan? He was known to hold grudges, and now that she had disrespected him, he surely wouldn't let her off easily.
The man suddenly laughed and asked lightly, "Did you just take liberties with me?"
Mo Ran was stunned for a moment before nodding.
"Should I, perhaps, pay you back in kind?"
