Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

By the time Lu Jinwen had returned to the bungalow, Tang Mo’er had already left.

She had taken away with her the note, since her mom’s handwriting was on it.

She was gone.

Lu Jinwen walked over, sitting on the bed and burrowing his face in the pillow. He could still smell Lin Xuanji’s scent on it.

She had slept on that pillow and had sex with him on that very bed.

Lu Jinwen’s Adam’s apple bobbed, he closed his eyes and rested.

A euphonious voice replayed in his ears—-Mr Lu, do you love me?

—-Lu Jinwen, do you love me or not?

She hung around him and pestered him with that same question—-do you love me?

He never once answered her, nor did he tell her, I love you…

Lu Jinwen drifted down his memory lane, from the first time they met at the temple and she fell in love with him at first sight, till when she started wooing him. After that, she wrote him a note, asking to meet at Bangkok No.7 and him chasing the Jun family out of Karghalik. Subsequently, she accepted Gu Tianling’s proposal and finally, with him holding her captive.

After he locked her away, she gave birth to Mo’er, got pregnant again and suffered from a miscarriage. That resulted in her going mad, he took care of her for two whole years, and…

Lu Jinwen revealed a sardonic smile.

…

Two days later, the day of Tang Mo’er’s birthday.

A University.

Lessons had ended and Tang Mo’er held a few textbooks in her arms while returning to her hostel. She held her cell phone in her hands and had noticed that she had an incoming phone call from Lin Shiyu. She picked it up.

“Mo’er, it’s your birthday today. Let’s meet at night, I’ll celebrate it with you.” Lin Shiyu’s mellow voice was heard on the other end of the call.

Tang Mo’er clutched onto her textbook tightly, the corners of her lips quirked up to give a sweet smile. “Shiyu, thanks for your good intentions but I have a date with someone else tonight.”

“You have a date? Gu Mohan? That’s fine, we can celebrate your birthday together.”

“But, Shiyu… It’s my 22nd birthday, I want to celebrate it with only Mr Gu.”

“…”

Lin Shiyu didn’t respond.

Tang Mo’er could already picture Lin Shiyu rolling her eyes. She was prioritizing her man over her best friend, what a traitor!

“Shiyu, don’t be angry, we can just meet tomorrow.” Tang Mo’er tried to do some damage control.

“It’s too late by then, I won’t be able to make it since I’m returning to Karghalik tomorrow.”

Returning to Karghalik?

Tang Mo’er was reminded of the plague that Fu Qinglun was facing in Karghalik, Shiyu was going to return to Karghalik too.

“Shiyu, are you going to divorce Young Master Fu after you return to Karghalik this time? You’re able to obtain a divorce decree in less than two weeks right?”

Lin Shiyu hesitated for a few seconds before she responded. “I’ll see how it goes after I head back to Karghalik. Mo’er, happy birthday.”

They continued chatting for a while more before ending the phone call. Tang Mo’er placed her cell phone in her purse. She was worried about Shiyu, since Shiyu didn’t give her a definite answer while they were on the phone, could it be that she hadn’t made a decision regarding her divorce?

Would Shiyu get a divorce with Young Master Fu after she returned to Karghalik?

A melodious ringtone sounded, she had an incoming phone call.

Tang Mo’er quickly took out her cell phone from her purse and lowered her eyes to check the screen. It was an incoming phone call from Mr Gu.

“Hello, Mr Gu, are you back from your business trip?”

It was totally silent on the other end before he started speaking with his magnetic voice, “Soon.”

He uttered a simple word and yet Tang Mo’er was already smiling sweetly. “Mr Gu, no matter how late you arrive, I’ll be waiting for you. We’ll celebrate my birthday together, just the two of us.”

A Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked on campus, the car window was wound down and a suave-looking face appeared. Gu Mohan was back.

He was clad in a white shirt with a custom-made blazer outside. He appeared dignified and poised, holding onto his cell phone while listening to her euphonious voice. He was looking at her from afar.

Tang Mo’er had worn a white, pleated long dress that was nice and flowy. She paired it with a white-yellow coat outside that revealed the pleats of her dress. Her slim waist and skirt moved around sensually as she walked, attracting the attention of the men on campus.

She wasn’t aware that he was already back and was still on the phone with him. He was able to see her side profile as he sat in the car, observing her ethereal beauty from afar.

She was delighted to receive his call, a little too excited actually.

She had told him that it was her 22nd birthday and she would celebrate it with him only.

Gu Mohan temperament became a little more gentle but he simply replied, “Hm.”

“Mr Gu, what do you want to have for tonight? I’ve made some sweet glutinous dumplings, shall we have some sweet glutinous dumplings for tonight?”

Sweet glutinous dumplings, it held an auspicious meaning. She wanted to stay together with him and they would never separate from then on.

That was her 22nd birthday wish.

Gu Mohan’s spirits were lightened. “Okay, I’ll follow your wishes.”

“I’ll hang up then, see you tonight, Mr Gu.” Tang Mo’er hung up the phone call.

Gu Mohan lifted his eyes and noticed that she had entered her hostel building. She had returned to her room, awaiting his arrival.

He glanced down at the passenger’s seat, a pink doll was placed on it. It was an animated version of Tang Mo’er, he had custom-made the doll according to her face.

It was his birthday present for her, it was custom-made and one of a kind.

He had never gifted another woman with a birthday present, that was his first time doing it.

He could have picked the simpler way out and gift her with some expensive jewelry, or some luxury bags or watches but he was acting on a hunch, to gift her with a doll.

Would she like this birthday present of his?

Gu Mohan stretched his hand out, pinching the cheeks of the doll.

A few male students had passed by him and they were having a conversation—-

“Have you taken a look at Beauty Tang? She’s currently attending the A University too, the guys in the male hostel are all discussing Beauty Tang every night.”

“What’s the point of looking at her? We can’t even have her to ourselves just by looking at her, it’s such a torture to the mind.”

“That’s right, the man who is able to capture Beauty Tang’s heart and have sex with her once would be… up cloud nine.”

“Let me tell you guys something, Beauty Tang has already slept with a man, she’s no longer a virgin.”

The rest of the guys gasped, they grabbed that one guy tightly. “Tell us the details, how do you even know that Beauty Tang is no longer a virgin?”

“That’s easy, just judge by her legs. Beauty Tang’s legs are slim, white and straight, seemingly like a virgin’s. However, being the experienced man I am, I can tell that she has had sex with a man.”

“Wow, who the hell is that man? The thought of our Beauty Tang lying under another man and being used for his enjoyment is really exciting, haha.”…

The few guys were gone.

In the luxurious car, Gu Mohan clutched onto the pink doll tightly. His pupils dilated in anger and his mind was filled with that sentence he overhead earlier on— -Beauty Tang is no longer a virgin.
