The Canary that couldn't escape-Chapter 703 - 704: What Does She Mean to You? 1

However, if he could get through this time, he should be able to kick the habit.

Black Angel hadn’t penetrated deep into her marrow; she didn’t need to suffer like Gu Yixuan, with three agonizing bouts. After one more episode, she should be able to rid herself of it completely.

Mo Ran wasn’t sure whether the Black Angel was about to flare up, so he didn’t tell Gu Yixuan. Right now, he was working seriously, and couldn’t be disturbed.

Besides, telling him was useless since it would happen anyway.

Sitting up, Mo Ran picked up a magazine to flip through, and soon after, Gu Yixuan’s cellphone rang.

The man put an earpiece in his ear, eyes still fixed on the computer, without even glancing at the caller ID, "Who is it?"

"Xuan, it’s me," Gao Zhenzhen’s voice came through.

Gu Yixuan frowned slightly, but it quickly faded, his expression remaining calm, "What’s the matter?"

Gao Zhenzhen bit her lip, hesitating to say, "Xuan, I’m going back to Japan, on the afternoon flight. I’m at the hospital downstairs, can you come down and see me for a moment?"

"No need, take care of yourself," he said indifferently, fingers still dancing on the keyboard.

Mo Ran glanced at him, not knowing who he was talking to.

Gao Zhenzhen didn’t give up, "I just want to see you one more time, if you don’t come down, then I’ll come up."

Letting her come up would be trouble, Gu Yixuan closed the document and web pages, and pulled out the USB drive.

"Wait there, I’m coming down," he said and then hung up the phone.

Mo Ran looked up into his eyes, asking with her gaze: Are you going out?

Gu Yixuan walked over and gave her a kiss, "Got a little something to do downstairs, I’ll be right back up."

She nodded, not asking who he was going to meet.

A moment after Gu Yixuan left the ward, Mo Ran couldn’t help but walk to the window and look down.

On the grass not too far away from the building, Gu Yixuan was standing with a woman—it was none other than Gao Zhenzhen.

Mo Ran’s hand gripping the windowsill tightened slightly; she stared at them intently, eager to know what they were talking about.

"Xuan, I know you don’t love me, and you don’t care for my love either. I’m not a shameless woman, so I’ve decided to return to Japan. From now on... I will never come back," Gao Zhenzhen said, gazing at him, a faint smile on her face.

Gu Yixuan’s expression showed no hint of reluctance, "Go back, have a safe journey."

In fact, thinking about it, he also felt he owed her an apology, so it was better for everyone to part on good terms.

Gao Zhenzhen, however, was quite happy; his attitude towards her wasn’t as cold and heartless as she expected.
