Gu Wan had been tired for the whole day, and she had just woken up from a coma. She couldn't stay awake for too long.
/p
She needed a good sleep. However, Gu Wan seemed to have something to say, so she didn't say it. She insisted on not letting her eyelids fight with her lower eyelids.
/p
Gong Mohan could tell that she was tired, so he patted Gu Wan's back gently, as if he was comforting a child who was dozing off.
/p
His thin lips moved. "Go to sleep if you're tired. I'll watch you sleep."
/p
Gu Wan lay on the bed and turned her elbow back. She tried to grab Gong Mohan's hand, but she couldn't touch it.
/p
Seeing this, Gong Mohan moved his hand closer to Gu Wan's palm.
/p
Gu Wan was like a bear trap that had found its prey. She got excited and grabbed it tightly.
/p
The corners of Gong Mohan's lips twitched in amusement. For some reason, he felt that Gu Wan was very adorable. He asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
/p
"Why don't you ask me what kind of secret we have?" Gu Wan clenched Gong Mohan's hand tightly, her fingers pinching and loosening at the area between her thumb and index finger.
/p
However, Gu Wan didn't let go of Gong Mohan's hand.
/p
"If I ask you what kind of secret you have, will you tell me?" Gong Mohan raised his eyebrows and questioned Gu Wan's words.
/p
"Not necessarily," Gu Wan said bluntly without any pretense.
/p
"Then why do I need to ask?" Gong Mohan shrugged nonchalantly, as if he had already expected such a situation.
/p
Gong Mohan wasn't angry at all. He understood that there would always be secrets between girls' best friends and little friends.
/p
Although he was sometimes forceful and domineering, he understood this point, even if he wanted to know everything about Gu Wan and infiltrate every aspect of her life.
/p
However, Gong Mohan was surprisingly patient with Gu Wan, and he often made exceptions for her.
/p
"If you ask, I'll tell you why not. If you don't ask, you'll never know. "
/p
Gu Wan looked at Gong Mohan calmly and said in a serious manner. Her seriousness made people feel angry and amused at the same time.
/p
"Alright." Gong Mohan raised his eyebrows with interest. He pressed down on the corner of Gu Wan's blanket before looking up and asking, "Then why didn't you tell me?"
/p
Gong Mohan's tone was unusually calm, fully demonstrating that he was extremely patient at the moment. He even felt like he was coaxing a child to sleep.
/p
"It's not that I can't tell you." Gu Wan suddenly tilted her head and smiled. Her long hair was loose, probably because it was indoors and the temperature was higher, and her face was rosy.
/p
She looked exceptionally enchanting and stunningly beautiful.
/p
Gong Mohan glanced sideways at Gu Wan and suppressed the sudden palpitation in his heart. He found that the self-control that he was so proud of had begun to collapse the moment he met Gu Wan.
/p
It was really like the saying, when the person you liked did anything in front of you, intentionally or unintentionally, it would stir your heart.
/p
Gong Mohan did feel this way at the moment. His Gu Wan was really too seductive.
/p
"Torturous." Gong Mohan murmured unconsciously, suppressing the scorching airflow in his lower abdomen.
/p
"…" Gu Wan frowned slightly and silently facepalmed in her heart. Did she do anything illegal? Why did this man look like he had taken an aphrodisiac? Could it be that spring had arrived?
/p
Gu Wan's mind was racing. She continued to say, "Unless you tell me whose phone call you took."
/p
"…" Gong Mohan was speechless and his breathing became disordered.
/p
"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. You have secrets, so do I. We're equal. " Gu Wan pretended to be carefree and smiled. Then she closed her eyes as though she was really sleepy and was about to fall asleep.
/p
In fact, Gu Wan didn't want to see Gong Mohan's face. Gu Wan didn't want to see his gloomy face.
/p
Gu Wan didn't know why. Gong Mohan was a dignified CEO. It wasn't strange for him to call in the middle of the night.
/p
But she just instinctively and stubbornly thought that the person must not be an ordinary work partner of Gong Mohan. It was even likely that it was her archenemy, Gong Mohan's confidante in their youth.
/p
At this time, a woman's sixth sense was sometimes terrifyingly accurate.
/p
Gong Mohan wanted to say something when he heard Gu Wan's words, but when he saw that she had closed her eyes, he shut his mouth and took back his words.
/p
The air in the ward was strangely quiet. Gong Mohan's gray eyes were fixed on Gu Wan, but Gu Wan closed her eyes but didn't fall asleep.
/p
It was okay to sleep in the prone position occasionally, but it was unbearable after a long time.
/p
Moreover, as the effect of the anesthetic wore off, Gu Wan's back also felt a little uncomfortable. It was as if ants were constantly crawling on it. It was itchy, painful, and there was a feeling that they were constantly gnawing on it.
/p
Gu Wan couldn't stand it anymore. She moved her body a few times, but in the end, she still opened her eyes and sighed.
/p
Gong Mohan, who had been paying attention to Gu Wan's movements, immediately stepped forward and squatted down in front of Gu Wan. He patted her on the shoulder and asked, "Gu Wan, is your wound hurting?"
/p
Gu Wan was lying on the pillow, looking a little dispirited. Her long and soft hair was all in front of her, blocking Gu Wan's face. No one could see her face.
/p
"A little." Gu Wan's voice was trembling.
/p
It was obvious that her pain and discomfort were ten times, or even a hundred times, more than what Gu Wan had said.
/p
Gong Mohan naturally understood Gu Wan's stubbornness. He felt sorry for her and blamed himself as he brushed away Gu Wan's hair. She resisted a little, but the pain from her wound made Gu Wan feel physically weak.
/p
The moment Gong Mohan brushed away Gu Wan's hair, he gasped. There was a thin layer of sweat on Gu Wan's forehead, and her face had turned from white to wax white.
/p
"Gu Wan …" Gong Mohan couldn't help calling her name.
/p
When Gu Wan heard this, she opened her eyes weakly and glanced at Gong Mohan. Her pale lips curled up slightly and she said, "It's okay."
/p
Gong Mohan's heart was squeezed by Gu Wan's "It's okay". "Gu Wan, can you not be so strong? You can be weak and rely on me more."
/p
When Gu Wan heard this, she didn't feel touched like other girls. Instead, she smiled mockingly. She didn't know if she was mocking Gong Mohan, herself, or the world that wasn't so beautiful.
/p
"I'm not weak. But if I rely on you, will you feel pain for me?"
/p
Gu Wan twitched her lips. Probably because of the pain, her tone wasn't very good.
/p
"…" Gong Mohan was stunned again. It seemed that what Gu Wan said was right. But why did it sound so uncomfortable?
/p
Gong Mohan thought about it while helping Gu Wan put the pillow in front of her chest, trying to make her feel better.
/p
Gu Wan couldn't bear the pain, so she let him be.
/p
Seeing that Gong Mohan didn't say a word and took care of her wholeheartedly, Gu Wan felt a little guilty. He was a CEO. Maybe he had never served others like this.
/p
She was probably the only one who could enjoy it.
/p
Gu Wan thought of her bad tone before and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She couldn't blame Gong Mohan for getting hurt. He was also a victim.
/p
Gu Wan understood the reason, but she couldn't control her emotions. For example, now, Gu Wan knew she was wrong, but she was too embarrassed to apologize.
/p
Gu Wan was as stubborn as she was proud. The more proud she was, the more inferiority she felt.
/p
So, the two just looked at each other in silence.
/p
Gong Mohan had always been a good talker in the business world, but at this moment, he was a little hesitant and didn't know what to say.
/p
After hesitating for a while, Gong Mohan opened his thin lips and said, "Gu Wan, if it's possible, I'm willing to help you suffer this pain, but I can't. So, is there anything else you need me to help you with? Just say it, I'll do it. "
/p
Gong Mohan thought about it again and again, deliberated his words, and finally decided to say it.
/p
A person like him, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, had never had the experience of speaking so carefully. Moreover, he had to humble himself.
/p
Gu Wan couldn't help but be moved. She also understood that Gong Mohan's words were already the most honest.
/p
He didn't need to say anything like "go up a mountain of knives or into a sea of fire". A simple "Just say it, I'll do it" was enough to tug at Gu Wan's heartstrings.
/p
This made Gu Wan feel that her temper just now was really too unreasonable.
/p
She shook her head and tidied her hair. "It's okay. Actually, it's not that painful."
/p
"Gu Wan, if it hurts, just say it. It's okay, I won't …" Gong Mohan comforted Gu Wan. He wanted to say that he wasn't an outsider and wouldn't laugh at her, but in the end, he didn't say it.
/p
Gu Wan waved her hand. "It's not painful. I just want to drink some water."
/p
After Gu Wan finished speaking, she looked up at Gong Mohan quietly with a pleading look. She felt that her lips were a little dry, but the pain in her back made it a little inconvenient for her.
/p
So, she could only place her hopes on Gong Mohan.
/p
In this case, if she had something to ask of Gong Mohan, he would feel better, Gu Wan thought.
/p
Sure enough …/p
/p
While Gu Wan was thinking about all sorts of things, Gong Mohan had already moved to the outside of the ward to get some water.
/p
Gong Mohan even thoughtfully poured some warm water and touched the surface of the cup with his own hand. It was probably a temperature that wasn't too hot or cold.
/p
He brought the cup to Gu Wan's bed and wanted to help Gu Wan up, but it wasn't easy for him to move. He was having trouble getting water for Gu Wan.
/p
Gu Wan's wound had just been treated. She couldn't turn over or get up, so how was she going to drink water?
/p
"Gu Wan, how do you want to drink it?" Gong Mohan raised his eyebrows and placed the cup on the bedside table. There seemed to be some slyness in his eyes.
