An Ruo, there might be some misunderstandings and hurt between the two of you, but I won’t persuade you to reconcile with him.
Just be kind to your body and don’t make things difficult for yourself..."
Hearing this, An Ruo felt as if her heart was being pricked by needles.
Why did Tang Yuchen have to put on such an act, perhaps he was truly upset by her departure, but the pain he caused her was real.
In any case, there was no possibility between them anymore.
"Xia Nuo, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have made you worry about me..." An Ruo apologized to her.
"There’s nothing to be sorry for, I’m happy that you’re back. If you really feel sorry for me, then hurry up and get better, don’t fall sick again."
"Yeah." An Ruo nodded with a smile.
She needed to get better soon, her body was her own, and she shouldn’t make things difficult for herself.
Even if not for herself, for Xia Nuo, for Xiao Ji in the distant country A, and for Yun Feiyang who was concerned about her, she had to recover.
Xia Nuo talked with her for a long time, and it wasn’t until the sky had darkened that she left.
It had been a long time since An Ruo had such a cheerful conversation, and she felt much more at ease.
After Xia Nuo left, Tang Yuchen walked into the bedroom and asked her, "Why didn’t you let her help you call the police?"
An Ruo replied indifferently, "If you dared to let her see me, you must have been fully prepared. I don’t want to drag her into this."
The man sat down beside her, the corners of his mouth curling slightly, "You are quite smart. You’re right, I have a thousand ways to keep you here, and no one would be able to help you."
An Ruo turned her gaze away from him, and Tang Yuchen reached out to touch her face, asking gently, "Still unwilling to tell me where the child is?"
"An Ruo, are you really that heartless towards him? I understand you, you must have had your reasons for sending him away. Tell me, what exactly happened back then?"
He didn’t believe she was heartless, nor did he believe she could abandon their child. The reason that forced her to take such a step must’ve been serious.
That was also the reason he hadn’t lashed out at her and had been patiently waiting for her to speak up.
An Ruo looked at him, thought for a moment, then said blandly, "I have a few questions for you, can you answer me honestly? Don’t look for any excuses, I just want to hear the answers."
"What questions? Just ask. As long as I know the answers, I will definitely respond," Tang Yuchen agreed immediately.
He had a premonition that her questions would be very important, possibly related to why she left him back then.
An Ruo didn’t want to bring up the past, but since he kept pressing her, she had to set things straight with him.
"When you went to country A back then, it wasn’t for an inspection, but to be with Lan Keren, right?"
The man’s eyes flickered with surprise. How did she find out about that?
"You knew about this, so that’s why you left me?" Instead of answering, he countered with a question.
It was exactly as she thought.
An Ruowei pulled a wry smile, revealing a hint of mockery, "Do you want to answer my question or not? If not, then I have nothing else to say."
After saying that, she pretended to lie down, indicating that she didn’t want to talk anymore.
Tang Yuchen quickly grabbed her shoulder, stopping her.
Pressing his lips together, he said in a deep voice, "Yes, I lied to you. I didn’t go there for an inspection. I went to country A for Ke Ren."
Hearing his confession firsthand, An Ruowei felt the pain intensify.
How could she have been so naive back then, to be so thoroughly deceived by him and to give her heart and soul to him?
It was because she was too naive and too trusting that she ultimately faced such retribution and ended up in such a plight.
