Chapter 528
But as time ticked by, second by second, she still hadn’t returned. He was very worried that something had happened to her, or that maybe she had left.
Just as he reached his limit and was about to call her, he heard the sound of her footsteps entering the house.
He quickly turned his head and saw her walking into the living room in an odd posture.
The man slightly furrowed his brows, stepped forward to support her, and asked with concern, “What happened to your foot?”
“It’s nothing, I just twisted it by accident.”
Tang Yuchen then keenly noticed the bloodstain on her sleeve. He grabbed her hand sharply and demanded, “What happened? Are you hurt?”
It was Kangkang’s blood.
Thinking of that lovely child, who was without parents and suffering from illness, An Ruo’s eyes dimmed.
“This isn’t my blood,” she said as she pulled her hand away and walked toward the sofa.
“Did something happen?” the man persistently asked as he caught up to her.
An Ruo rubbed her ankle and said lightly, “I’m tired, let’s talk later.”
Tang Yuchen pursed his lips slightly, chose to respect her, and said, “Come on, I’ll take you upstairs to rest, and later let me check your foot.”
Before An Ruo could respond, he had already lifted her into his arms and started walking upstairs.
Upon reaching the bedroom, she took her pajamas and went into the bathroom to shower.
When she came out, she saw Tang Yuchen rolling up his sleeves, holding some Zheng Hong Oil in his hand.
“Come and sit here,” he beckoned to her.
An Ruo walked over, sat down beside the bed, and said to him, “Give it to me, I can do it myself.”
The man didn’t speak; he simply lifted her injured leg onto his knee, poured some Zheng Hong Oil into his palm, and then rubbed it on her ankle.
Watching his handsome profile, she suddenly remembered how when she had twisted her ankle before, he had massaged it just like this.
For a man, especially one like him, to massage the injured foot of a woman twice was actually quite rare.
As she was lost in thought, Tang Yuchen suddenly asked her, “What exactly happened today?”
An Ruo didn’t want to hide it from him; there was nothing to hide.
She calmly said, “Today, Aunt Zhang called me to say that An Xin had escaped from the psychiatric hospital. I accompanied her to look for her and found she had secretly taken a child from the orphanage. She almost hurt the child. To save him, I accidentally twisted my foot. The blood on my sleeve is from the child; he had a cut on his forehead.”
Tang Yuchen stopped what he was doing, frowned, and looked at her: “An Xin has already gone mad, weren’t you afraid of encountering danger by going after her alone?”
“I wasn’t alone; there was also Aunt…”
“She can hardly handle such situations. You should have called the police or told me,” he actually meant to say that she should have left the matter alone.
An Ruo knew he was concerned about her, but she didn’t like the way he spoke to her in an angry tone.
“We had already called the police. I just went along to look, and it just so happened that we found her,” she explained.
Tang Yuchen lowered his eyes and continued massaging her.
Calling the police was useless; finding her would be fastest only with his help. She hadn’t even thought about asking him for help, which clearly showed that she didn’t want to rely on him.
After a moment of silence, he said gravely, “The next time something happens, you should tell me and let me handle it.”
An Ruo didn’t answer.
She didn’t want to depend on him; being overly dependent would turn into a habit, which wouldn’t be good for her future departure.
The two of them stopped talking. Just as Tang Yuchen finished massaging An Ruo, Uncle Tao came up to knock on the door.
“Young Master, could you come out for a moment?”
