Chapter 235: Choose Between Us

Tang Mo’er’s soft cry for help traveled into Gu Mohan’s ears and his pupils contracted, but he pursed his lips into a grimace and walked forward, holding onto her arm. “What’s the matter, where does it hurt? Did the poison act up?”

Hearing his gentle words, Tang Mo’er lifted her eyes and looked at him, smiling through her tearstained eyes. “Mr Gu, did I scare you? I’m just bluffing.”

Gu Mohan’s tensed up nerves instantly loosened, revealing a distant expression on his handsome face. “Miss Tang, such a prank may be funny to you, but I do not find it at all amusing. You’re not welcome at my engagement ceremony, please leave now.”

He then turned around and left after speaking.

But he felt his sleeves getting tugged on, her maiden-like voice sounded both coquettish and aggrieved. “Mr Gu, it hurts, it really hurts, my heart hurts so much. So so much. I’m in so much pain it feels like I’m going to die. Please come back with me, I don’t want to stay here, it’s so stifling here that I feel like I’m going to die.”

Her voice was like an alluring siren, continuing to call to him. If he didn’t agree to her demands, she would just start crying the next moment.

She wanted him to bring her away from that place.

She didn’t want him to get engaged.

Her heart was in so much pain. It hurt so much she couldn’t breathe, she couldn’t think. All she knew was that she needed him to take her away from there. The throbbing pulsing pain inside made her entire body tremble, sending shivers that wracked her body like a cold, pulsating burn.

“Brother Mohan,” Lu Qi’er then walked over elegantly, clearly ignoring the ruckus surrounding the pair. “The engagement ceremony is going to begin soon. We need to go over now.”

Lu Qi’er then held out her tiny hand to Gu Mohan.

Gu Mohan looked at Lu Qi’er with a poker face and looked down, pulling away the fingers that were tugging on his sleeve.

“No… Mr Gu, I beg you… please don’t go…” Tang Mo’er pleaded forlornly at his back and tried hard to not let her tears fall down. Even from behind, his stance was decisive and cold.

No…

Don’t get engaged to Lu Qi’er. I beg you…

Pulling away her fingers, Gu Mohan walked towards Lu Qi’er, though he didn’t take her hand.

Lu Qi’er smirked in satisfaction and hooked her arm around Gu Mohan’s arm, showing the world she was in a loving relationship with this man. Gu Mohan was hers and she wouldn’t let anyone snatch him away.

“Gu Mohan!” Tang Mo’er let out a scream after losing control over herself. Holding up a knife, she pressed the blade against her neck, shouting, “I won’t allow you to get engaged to Lu Qi’er. Gu Mohan, I’ll let you make a decision now. You can only choose one between Lu Qi’er and I!”

The entire crowd was in shock, a ripple of chatter erupted throughout the hall and the crowd as they scolded her for her audacity and shamelessness.

How could she be so shameless! Coming and disrupting the engagement celebration between Gu Mohan and Lu Qi’er. Didn’t she know her place?

In an instant, Gu Mohan turned around as Tang Mo’er gripped tightly onto the knife, the force of the sharp blade on her delicate skin resulting in a bloody gash on her neck.

She looked at him with her tearstained eyes, her delicate back ramrod straight and a stubborn glint in her eyes.

She would not back down.

Other than this, she didn’t know how to persuade him to stay with her.

She could only use her life as a negotiating chip.

No matter what the reason was behind his engagement with Lu Qi’er, she couldn’t accept it. Gu Mohan belonged to her and her alone!

Without pausing to think, Gu Mohan’s handsome face clouded over by something cold and dangerous. Quicker than lightning, he moved towards her with a frightening speed, before he struck at her hands.

Bam! The knife fell uselessly to the ground.

“Miss Tang, if you insist on continuing to make a scene then I’ll have to get someone to escort you out!”

Escort her out?

“Ha.” Tang Mo’er laughed bitterly, before she wiped her tears away. Her normally expressive eyes were red and puffy, her entire countenance was both pathetic, yet pitiful. Lifting her head, she gave him a cold smile. “Gu Mohan, I used everything that I own as well as putting my pride and life on the line to bet on this engagement ceremony. But… I seem to have lost the bet. It’s fine, in front of you, I can only admit defeat and since I didn’t have much time to prepare, I didn’t get you an engagement present… Since that’s the case… why not…”
