I wonder if he knows, will he be mad at her?
But she couldn’t control these things anymore. Since they couldn’t be together, it was better to end things sooner rather than later, as a drawn-out pain is worse than a quick one.
"Feiyang, you need to take care of yourself, don’t worry about me. That’s it then, I’m hanging up."
An Ruo hung up the phone, leaned against the sofa, zoning out for a while before going to the bedroom to pack her luggage.
Her luggage was simple, just a small leather suitcase with only a few articles of clothing inside.
After finishing everything, An Ruo made a call to her landlord and paid a year’s rent. She would keep the apartment, planning to come back and move her things secretly after settling down somewhere else.
From yesterday to today, after being agitated for two days, An Ruo hadn’t eaten anything besides drinking water.
She had no appetite and didn’t want to cook, so she just boiled a packet of instant noodles. Eating the tasteless noodles made An Ruo feel nauseous.
For the sake of keeping her strength up, she forced herself to eat the noodles, but in the end, she threw up most of it.
After taking a bath, she lay on the bed, drained, thinking that tomorrow she could leave this heartbreaking place. As for returning, she had no idea when that would be.
That night, An Ruo reflected on many personal matters until she finally fell asleep just before dawn.
After a few hours of sleep, she got up, washed up, and then dragged her suitcase out the door and downstairs.
Once inside the bus, An Ruo found a window seat and sat down, then headed toward the train station.
She didn’t know where to go, figuring she’d just decide when the time came. She’d buy a random ticket and leave this place first.
The train station in J City was bustling, and as An Ruo walked among the crowd, she felt a bit lost. Everyone had their own destination, but where was hers?
"Miss An, my boss would like to see you. Please come with us."
Just as An Ruo was about to buy a ticket at the window, a man dressed in a black suit abruptly appeared before her, his tone respectful yet forceful.
An Ruo was taken aback, and she stepped back defensively: "Who is your boss?"
The man replied indifferently, "Our boss is Mr. Tang Yuchen. He insists that we bring you back. Miss An, please cooperate."
Only then did An Ruo realize there were two men in black standing behind her as well.
"Tang Yuchen sent you? How does he know I’m here?" An Ruo asked in confusion, and then it dawned on her, "He has been having people watch me, hasn’t he?!"
No wonder he always seemed to know where she was. So that’s what was going on.
An Ruo felt extremely furious. Tang Yuchen really held her in high regard, having someone watch her all the time!
The man didn’t answer, but his tone grew more forceful, "Miss An, please come with us now. Our boss said if you don’t cooperate, you’ll never get to see your brother again."
An Ruo was furious, and she laughed coldly, "He’s using this tactic to threaten me again? Doesn’t he have any creativity? Go back and tell Tang Yuchen that I have nothing to do with him. I’m leaving, and no one can stop me!"
Pushing past the man before her, An Ruo strode toward the ticket window. If they dared to get tough, she would scream for help!
"Miss An, if you don’t cooperate, don’t blame us for being rude to you," the man’s voice threatened lightly from behind.
An Ruo ignored them; she didn’t believe they would dare to kidnap her in broad daylight.
She took two more steps forward, when suddenly, someone grabbed both her arms, causing her to panic, and without a second thought, she let out a piercing scream.
