Chapter 12 Qin Zhaoran, I Borrowed the Money

Qin Zhaoran's eyesballs, black and bright like obsidians, seemed to freeze in an instant. Everything in front of him seemed to flow back to five years ago. "Ran, do I look good in this dress? Why do I feel I look a little old in it?" Gu Wan's sparkling eyes twinkled as she stared at Qin Zhaoran, eagerly waiting for him to say she looked beautiful. It was as if she would be angry and turn her back on him if he said that she was not beautiful.

Recalling this, Qin Zhaoran seemed unwilling to think back. He shook his head and smiled wryly. His obsidian eyeballs looked as deep as the ocean, with no end at a glance. It was like he was the only one immersed in the past and Gu Wan had totally over him. But could she really forget her feelings for him so easily?

"Qin Zhaoran, what's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?" Seeing that Qin Zhaoran had been in a daze for a long time, Gu Wan thought that he was drunk and uncomfortable, so she thought for a while and asked him.

Qin Zhaoran frowned and coldly glanced at Gu Wan, "It's nothing. Come and help me take off my clothes." Looking at her, still petite, he could not help but ask, "Why are you wearing this dress?" He had just wanted to ask, but sneered at her at last as he could not control his anger for her leaving him without saying goodbye for so many years.

After a long while, Gu Wan still pursed her lips and did not know how to answer his question. Her face, fair and delicate like white jade, was flushed red and her black hair hung in a mess beside her ear. Qin Zhaoran did not want to make things difficult for her when he saw her adorable face. "Forget it. It's fine if you don't want to talk about it. Quickly help me take off my clothes. I'm sleepy."

She opened her lips, already drained of color, several times, but couldn't say anything. Her hands, white and tender, tightly gripped the hem of her dress, her eyes revealing that she was flustered and at a loss. It seemed that they had never done such intimate things before.

Qin Zhaoran raised his eyebrows, looking a little impatient. He raised his hands, trying to take off his clothes, but was suddenly touched by a pair of white hands. The moment he lifted his head, he saw Gu Wan's steady eyes. She gently undid his buttons one by one. Under the light, she looked hazy and even more petite. They are like an old married couple. Thinking of this, Qin Zhaoran smiled unwittingly and then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In the morning, before Qin Zhaoran could open his eyes, he smelled a faint fragrance. Then, he heard the sound of chopping vegetables. He couldn't help but feel happy. Getting out of the bed, Qin Zhaoran took a quick shower, changed his clothes, and hurried to the dining room. Sure enough, he was in a good mood and would be the whole day when he saw the woman he liked preparing breakfast for him. Gu Wan heard the voice and turned around with a smile. "You're up? Are you feeling better? I made bean sprout soup for you. You drank too much last night, so drink more soup today. Otherwise, your head will hurt more."

The smile on Qin Zhaoran's handsome face widened involuntarily. Looking at the back of Gu Wan who is being busy, a bright light flashed across his eyes.

"Tell me, how much is it per month, or how much I will give you at once? I will support you so that you don't have to live submissively." Originally, he intended to show his care and wanted her to stay, but the tone changed.

After a long while, time seemed to have stopped. Gu Wan, who was cutting vegetables, paused, her hands trembling uncontrollably on the handle of the knife. Suddenly, a lump was in her throat, and her tears filled her amber eyes, as if they were about to fall in the blink of an eye. Yes, it is just as you expected. How could he change his temperament at once? The happy moment last night was just a dream. She shouldn't have missed it the next day. She should be sober and sane.

Her gripping hands already sweated. Gu Wan held back the tears in her eyes, took a deep breath and looked up. She really needed the money because her mother was still in the hospital. She could not be willful and should disregard her pride at this time. Her dignity was nothing compared with her mother. Gu Wan laughed at herself. She couldn't expect too much from this man. Otherwise, she would be even more disappointed.

"Alright, how about that? I'll borrow one million yuan. You can ask for whatever you want. I'll pay you back when I earn the money!"

Qin Zhaoran obviously didn't expect Gu Wan to agree so readily. Did she really love money so much? She would do anything for money. That obsidian eyes instantly turned cold, and his handsome face showed ridicule. Qin Zhaoran took the check, wrote it quickly, and threw it across the table.

"Take it. A million yuan may be a lot of money to you, but nothing to me. Since I said that I would support you, I don't need you to pay it back."

Gu Wan bit her red and plump lips, and she could not stop trembling. Anger and shame filled her entire brain. She can't go. She needs money. If she didn't get the money today, the hospital would stop all her mother's medication. Gu Wan took the check and ran out of the Qin family.

When she arrived at the hospital, she saw Uncle Guo helping Gu Wan's mother wash up. When she saw that Gu Wan was coming, she forced herself to sit up and cheered herself up. She called Gu Wan to come in.

"Uncle Guo, this is one million yuan. Take it and put it into the hospital account. It should be enough for a while. Tell me when it runs up." Gu Wan looked at Uncle Guo's haggard face and couldn't bear to see Uncle Guo worrying about her mother's medical bills every day. Uncle Guo had been good enough to her and her mother all these years.

"Wanwan, the money... Where did you borrow it? Did your father give it to you?" Uncle Guo was surprised to see that Gu Wan had gotten so much money at once. He knew very well why Qiao Jin was lying here. Why Gu Wan's father had suddenly changed his temperament to give Gu Wan so much money. It was unbelievable.

Gu Wan didn't want Uncle Guo to know about what happened between her and Qin Zhaoran, so she could only agree that it was given by her father. After taking care of matters here, Gu Wan decided to go home and have a good rest. Just as she got into the taxi, her phone vibrated violently. She took out the phone. Seeing the familiar name, Gu Wan's hands trembled. She made great efforts not to feel panic and picked up the phone, trying not to sound flustered.

"Hey, why are you looking for me?"

"Why? Are you going to turn your back on me after you take the money? Come to Shilin Villa tomorrow morning at 9 am." Without waiting for Gu Wan to answer, he hung up the phone.
