The man got up and instructed her, "Lie down and rest. Are you hungry? I will have someone send up something for you to eat."
An Ruo tucked herself in, shaking her head slightly, "No need, I want to sleep."
He tucked her in properly, then he opened the door to leave, closing it behind him.
Uncle Tao said in a low voice, "Young Master, someone has come outside, insisting on seeing you..."
When Tang Yuchen returned to the bedroom, An Ruo still hadn’t fallen asleep.
She was very tired, yet she couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.
Seeing him enter with a dark expression, her eyes revealed a hint of confusion.
The man leaned over to her side and pinched her chin, asking, "What exactly did you say to An Xin today?"
An Ruo blinked in confusion, "What’s wrong with you?"
Tang Yuchen said, holding back his anger, "An Xin just showed up, and guess what she said to me?"
"An Xin came?" She sat up in surprise, saying urgently, "Call the police, have them take her away."
"I already had someone take her back!" The man said helplessly and with frustration, "Are you even listening to me?"
An Ruo let out a sigh of relief, looked at him, and understood why he was angry.
She said nonchalantly, "It was just some nonsense to trick her, why do you care?"
What did he care about?! Of course, he cared!
Even if what she said was a lie, even if it was said to someone with a mental problem, it wasn’t right to joke about him.
She actually said that he liked An Xin, that he intended to marry her, and that he even had a child with An Xin.
How could she say such things? If she loved him, she wouldn’t say that even if it killed her.
Even to save a child, even if the other person was insane, she still shouldn’t have said it.
Tang Yuchen was very upset; in any case, she hadn’t truly taken him to heart.
Seeing that he remained silent, An Ruo lay back down, turning her back to him and closed her eyes to sleep.
The man felt even more defeated.
He wanted to argue with her but had no ground to stand on. The words she said should be thrown back at her.
She was the one who didn’t care about anything, right?
She didn’t care, so naturally, she wouldn’t consider his feelings. Fussing over this made him wonder if he was being petty.
But still, he felt very uncomfortable.
Tang Yuchen hugged her body gloomily, deliberately pushing his forehead against her back like a sulking child.
An Ruo said with exasperation, "Tang Yuchen, if you’re not sleeping, can you not disturb me? Otherwise, go sleep in another room."
The man flipped her over, pressing his body onto hers, and said with heated breath, "An Ruo, I want you."
She looked at him coldly, without any hesitation, she pushed him away, "Don’t disturb my sleep."
Then she turned her back to him again, her attitude firm.
Tang Yuchen held back, ultimately refraining from doing anything else. He just took a shower, got into bed, and gently wrapped his arms around her, closing his eyes with a touch of grievance.
Ah, for the sake of his future happiness, he could only be an obedient lover now.
The next morning, while An Ruo was still in her dreams, she received a phone call from Mo Hua.
He told her that they had found An Xin the night before and asked her not to worry.
An Ruo thanked him and hung up the phone.
Tang Yuchen had gone to the company early. She got out of bed, went downstairs, and had breakfast alone.
After eating, Aunt Zhang called her to talk about An Xin being found.
An Ruo chatted briefly with her, declined her offer to come over to thank her, and then hung up.
