Mo Hua was not in a hurry to leave. "I just saw you coming out from inside, what brought you here?"
An Ruo had no intention of hiding it from him and briefly mentioned her adoption of Kangkang.
After hearing this, Mo Hua was very surprised. He hadn’t expected her to adopt Kangkang, the child with autism.
"So, has Kangkang been receiving treatment inside?"
"Yes, it’s been over a month now."
Mo Hua looked at her with a complex expression in his eyes and tentatively asked, "An Ruo, may I ask you a presumptuous question? Are you single, or are you married?"
"I guess I’m single." An Ruo said with an awkward smile.
He understood what she meant; she probably had a boyfriend, just not married yet.
Knowing that she had someone, inexplicably, he felt a bit lost.
He really wanted to ask her, "You’re not married yet, does your boyfriend not mind you adopting a child?"
But since she had already adopted, it meant her boyfriend didn’t mind.
In this day and age, married women didn’t want to adopt a child, yet she, being unmarried, dared to do such a thing, which showed just how kind-hearted she must be.
Mo Hua gave her a sincere smile, "I’ll be coming here for the next few days. If you have time, bring Kangkang and let’s have a meal together."
He simply wanted to spend some time with the two of them, nothing more...
But as soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted them. She must have misunderstood him, he thought, and just as he was about to explain, An Ruo agreed with a laugh.
"Sure, I come here every day. Give me a call when you’re free."
"Alright." The smile at the corner of Mo Hua’s mouth widened.
After exchanging a few more words, Mo Hua said goodbye to attend to his business, and An Ruo also hailed a cab to return to the villa.
Two days later, Mo Hua had mostly dealt with his affairs, and it happened to be the weekend, so he called An Ruo to arrange a time to eat, then arrived at the agreed restaurant half an hour early.
Before long, An Ruo walked into the private room holding Kangkang.
Seeing Kangkang, Mo Hua felt a touch of familiarity, after all, they were old acquaintances who had met before.
He greeted Kangkang, but naturally, he didn’t respond.
"How is Kangkang doing now?" the man asked An Ruo.
"Much better than before, he responds to my voice now. But for other people, there’s still no response."
Mo Hua gave her a thumbs up, praising her earnestly, "You must be very good to Kangkang. He certainly likes you a lot, otherwise he wouldn’t respond to your voice."
An Ruo smiled happily, and she thought so too.
During the meal, Mo Hua asked her, "Is it hard taking care of Kangkang? Have your family members ever opposed your decision?"
An Ruo understood what he meant, but her situation was quite unique and couldn’t be explained by ordinary people’s lives.
"My parents have passed away, so there’s no one to object," she said.
Mo Hua was momentarily taken aback, "I’m sorry, I didn’t know."
"It’s okay, you didn’t know," An Ruo didn’t mind at all.
The man couldn’t help but continue to ask, "But how will you manage when you marry in the future as a woman with a child? Does your boyfriend mind this?"
Okay, he admitted that he was really quite nosy, but he just wanted to know these things.
An Ruo didn’t avoid the question. "I’ve been married before, but now I’m single. I won’t marry again in the future, so by adopting Kangkang, no one has the right to tell me what to do."
