Cecilia Gu didn’t notice Max Mo’s shock. She simply lowered her head and said, "Max, I don’t want to be like my ancestor Yun Zixiao, spending a lifetime with someone she didn’t love, dying young and unfulfilled. Back then, she had to marry a prince of the Qing Dynasty to save tens of thousands of soldiers. But now, aside from the Mo Family, I owe no one anything. If the Mo Family insists on taking my life in exchange..."
Max Mo reached out and covered Cecilia Gu’s mouth, his face turning instantly pale.
Everything else Cecilia Gu was about to say was blocked by Max Mo!
"Never say things like that again!" For the first time, Max Mo showed anger in front of Cecilia Gu. His blue eyes seemed to grow even more intense!
His anger was on the verge of exploding!
"Cecilia Gu, listen to me! As long as I’m alive, you’re not allowed to die!" Max Mo roared at her.
Cecilia Gu had never seen Max Mo so furious. She never expected the always gentle and kind Max to get angry so quickly!
Max Mo threw the ring in his hand out the window. "You won’t accept it this time? Fine. I have patience—I’ll wait until you say yes next time!"
After saying this, Max Mo turned and left, slamming the door behind him, storming out in anger.
Cecilia Gu stood there, unsure of what to do next.
A moment later, the hotel manager nervously returned the diamond ring that Max Mo had thrown out, nearly in tears.
Mr. Mo lost his temper here—does this mean his job is on the line?
Cecilia Gu looked at the diamond ring on the table and sighed inwardly. She said to the manager, "Alright, you’re done here. Oh, and this ring... could you call a courier company for me?"
After all, it’s worth millions. Max Mo might dare to throw it, but who else would dare pick it up?
If you pick up something that belongs to Mr. Mo, do you still want to keep your job?
But Cecilia Gu couldn’t just send it directly to Max Mo. Better to send it to... Sophie Mo!
Once he’s calmed down, let Sophie return the ring to him.
Meanwhile, Max Mo stormed out of the hotel. As he reached the front door, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
This time, he realized he’d lost control of his temper.
All these years, no matter what happened, nothing had ever made him show his emotions in front of others.
