Chapter 696
The man got out of the car, opened the door on the other side, and gave her a slight smile, “Get in, I’ll take you back home.”
An Ruowei was stunned, how did he know she was here?
Seated in his car with a guilty conscience, Mo Hua said nothing on the way back. She knew she should take the initiative to explain.
“Mo Hua, do you… believe me?” She turned her head to look at him and asked gently.
The man glanced at her and smiled, “Of course I believe you.”
An Ruowei breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed he hadn’t misunderstood or gotten angry.
“Actually, I was taking care of Tang Yuchen in the hospital, it’s not what you think, I have my reasons. I’ve given up on him, and there’s no longer any possibility between us, so don’t misunderstand.”
“Hmm, I believe you,” he nodded with understanding, “Can you tell me why you were taking care of him?”
“It’s a personal reason, I don’t want to talk about it, but I swear, there’s nothing between him and me.”
Mo Hua was silent for a moment, then smiled, “Okay, if you don’t want to say, I won’t ask further, I believe there’s nothing between you two.”
An Ruowei couldn’t help but smile, “Thank you for understanding me.”
“Fool, if I don’t understand you, who will?” He smiled at her indulgently, and An Ruowei’s heart skipped a beat.
He was truly very good to her, such a good man, she should cherish him.
With everything out in the open, the atmosphere between them became much more harmonious and natural. They didn’t discuss last night’s events; after all, everything was in the past and not worth fussing over.
Mo Hua turned on some music and even slowed the car down. He chatted with An Ruowei from time to time, while she occasionally responded quietly, leaning against the back of the car seat.
The soothing music completely relaxed her, and before long, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. Mo Hua called her name softly a couple of times, but she didn’t hear him.
…
An Ruowei slept very deeply.
By the time she woke up, she found herself in her own bedroom. The clock beside the bed showed it was seven o’clock, and the daylight outside was bright. Had she slept through the night?
She remembered falling asleep in Mo Hua’s car last night but had no idea when she had gotten home.
An Ruowei pondered for a moment, she must’ve been in such a deep sleep that she was totally unaware of everything.
After getting dressed and washing up, she walked out of the bedroom. An Ji was having breakfast, and seeing her come out, he quickly stood up, walked over, and asked her, “Sis, did you sleep well last night?”
His tone was a bit odd, as if laden with worry and nervousness.
An Ruowei nodded strangely, “Very well.”
“No dizziness or anything like that?”
“Nope. An Ji, what happened?” she asked in confusion.
An Ji saw she looked well and breathed a sigh of relief, “Last night, Mo Hua brought you home, you were asleep.”
An Ruowei smiled, “Yeah, I guess I was just too tired, I didn’t even know how I got back, I just slept until just now.”
An Ji looked at her and hesitated, “I thought Mo Hua might have given you some drug so that you’d sleep so deeply.”
“How is that possible!” An Ruowei retorted in surprise, “Why would you think that? I just slept deeply because I was exhausted, it has nothing to do with Mo Hua.”
An Ji nodded as if agreeing with her, “Maybe I was just overthinking it.”
An Ruowei patted his shoulder with serious emphasis, “An Ji, I’ve noticed you don’t really like Mo Hua, but he’s actually a very decent person.”
“What does it matter if he’s decent? Enough about him, come have breakfast.”
