Chapter 187
Sister Cai, while speaking, placed the prepared clothes by the bed. “Come on, get up. The gift Mr. Tang prepared for you is incredible; it will surely surprise you.”
After finishing, Sister Cai gave her a meaningful smile before leaving the room.
An Ruo felt a headache coming on due to her misunderstanding, but indeed, her relationship with Tang Yuchen was no longer innocent.
Getting out of bed and changing clothes, An Ruo did not pay much attention to the gift Tang Yuchen had prepared.
Even if he gifted her a country, she wouldn’t feel the slightest bit of joy.
If he told her, “I will no longer bother you from now on; you are free,” perhaps she would be delighted.
Going downstairs, An Ruo suddenly saw a small figure sitting in the living room. She shook all over, her eyes widening in disbelief.
Sitting properly on the sofa, An Ji also stared at her in astonishment.
“Sister?”
“Xiao Ji… is it really you?” An Ruo covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes reddening instantly.
An Ji swiftly stood up, rushing into her arms. An Ruo caught his body and hugged him tightly; he clung to her as if they had been separated for many, many years.
“Sister, how come you are here?”
An Ruo also asked in surprise, “How did you come here?”
Hadn’t Tang Yuchen said he would let her see him in a few days?
Perhaps this was the gift he had given her.
Honestly, this gift did thrill her.
An Ji looked up and said, “Today, someone came to fetch me, saying they were taking me somewhere, and then I was brought here. I didn’t know who it was, nor did I expect to see you here.”
He had thought that he had offended some important person at school, so he had been “invited” over as a guest.
An Ruo said, “It was Tang Yuchen. I came to West Country with him to visit you. Xiao Ji, you’ve lost weight, but it seems you’ve grown taller.”
He was nearly up to her chin; perhaps he would surpass her in height soon.
An Ji also told her, “Sister, you’ve lost weight as well. Is it that Tang guy bullying you again? Don’t be scared, one day I will definitely get revenge for you.”
An Ruo did not want him to live in hatred all the time, besides, this was her issue, and she couldn’t let it affect him.
She took his hand, smiling and shaking her head, “He hasn’t been bullying me; you’re overthinking. If he were bullying me, would he bring me here to see you, would he have me living with him?”
An Ji looked down and softly said, “Sister, I understand, you don’t like him. He has been forcing you, right? Your heart must be suffering. You married him for me at first, I know, and you have always been thinking of getting away from him. Sister, although you are lying to me, your eyes don’t lie.”
An Ruo was inwardly alarmed; Xiao Ji was not like this before.
In the past, he would believe whatever she said. Even if he had doubts, he would choose to trust her.
But now, he seemed much more mature, not easily believing her words, and being able to see the true feelings in her eyes.
What on earth had happened this month to make him mature so much?
“Xiao Ji, tell your sister, have you been having a tough time at school? Let’s not go to that school anymore, and come back home with me, okay?”
All she hoped for was that he would have a carefree and joyful childhood, not wanting him to bear too much at such a young age.
