I was stunned. This was the first time Moran had hugged me, but it was gentle, not the forceful grip I had imagined. His hug felt like he was holding something fragile, trying to maintain distance, perhaps not wanting to make me feel uncomfortable.
I could hear Moran’s heart beating faster from nervousness.
In short, Moran seemed very nervous and his hugging technique was somewhat clumsy, perhaps from lack of experience. After I thought about this, Moran suddenly said in a pleading tone: “Han, I’m sorry. Please, let me hold you like this for a moment, just a moment. This is the first time, and the last time, okay?”
I didn’t want to refuse Moran because I was afraid he would feel disappointed. So, I gently nodded.
I suddenly felt a chill down my back, and the surrounding temperature began to drop rapidly. I shivered and casually turned my head, almost fainting when I saw—
Could I not be dizzy? The person in front of me, though familiar, was almost unrecognizable – clothes tattered, hair disheveled, but even if he turned to ashes, I would recognize him. This sorry state was my doing. “Uh… Yu Mo, how are you here?” Mo Ran also saw Yu Mo but had no intention of letting go of me.
Yu Mo didn’t look at me but engaged in an intense staring contest with Mo Ran, their gazes colliding, “You don’t want me here? Would you prefer I be moongazing in the sky?”
I shook my head, “No.”
“I warn you, let go of Han’er and never hold her again.” A sentence without fluctuation yet filled with dissatisfaction. I never thought Yu Mo could be as cold as Shang. In summary – Yu Mo’s acting was excellent.
Mo Ran pulled me closer to his chest, nervously but without real force, saying, “I think you have no right to command me, because Han is not yours.” I understood Mo Ran’s intention and cooperated, even though he wasn’t forcing me to stay.
Mo Ran was testing the man I loved to see if he truly cared. I wanted to know if Yu Mo really loved me. Although his name was in the marriage book and our red threads were tightly bound, Yu Mo had never confessed to me.
