"You got the project?"
"That’s really great, congratulations." She couldn’t help but smile, although she wasn’t that excited.
Actually, there was nothing too exciting about it, after all, it was either he won or Tang Yuchen won.
An Ruo couldn’t resist the urge to ask him what he was going to do to Tang Yuchen, but instead, she asked, "Xiao Ji, where are you now? Are you coming back? Let’s have lunch together."
"I’m on my way back, I’ll be there soon."
"Then I’ll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, she spaced out for a while before getting out of bed to cook. No matter, she thought, let’s just take it one step at a time; maybe things aren’t as bad as she imagined.
An Ji indeed came back not long after, and during their meal together, An Ruo asked him what he planned to do with Tang Yuchen.
He laughed and said, "I haven’t decided yet, but I won’t let him off easy."
Her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly advised him, "Xiao Ji, don’t go too far."
"It’s fine, he agreed to let me deal with him as I wish." He said, unconcerned.
"But you can’t go overboard, his status is different. If things blow up, it won’t be good for you either."
An Ji smiled with a curve of his lips, "Sis, I thought you were concerned about him. Relax, I know you’re worried about me, I’ll be measured."
Reassured by his promise, An Ruo finally felt much better.
After they finished their meal, Mo Hua’s call came on time. An Ruo chatted with him for a while before hanging up.
An Ji, who was sitting beside her, suddenly asked, "Sis, do you really want to be with him?"
An Ruowei was taken aback, "Why do you ask that?"
"I know you take everything seriously. Since you’ve chosen him, does that mean you’ve decided to marry him?"
She laughed, "It’s just dating, that doesn’t necessarily lead to marriage. Kangkang hasn’t come back yet, I don’t have any plans to get married for now."
Even if she were to get married, she would first need the child’s consent and understanding.
"If Kangkang never comes back, would you never marry?" An Ji asked reflexively.
An Ruo shook her head, "That won’t happen, I believe he will come back."
"If Kangkang agrees to you being with Mo Hua, would you marry him then?"
She hesitated slightly; to be honest, she had never really thought about marrying Mo Hua. This relationship had just begun, and she had no idea what the future held; she was simply taking things one step at a time.
"Sis, to be honest, I’m not very optimistic about that guy." An Ji said indifferently, and An Ruo, surprised, asked him, "Why? Is Mo Hua not a good person?"
"Whether he’s a good person or not, I don’t care. I just feel that you two might not be suitable. Do you feel specially happy when you’re with him?"
"Sis, I just hope you can be happy."
An Ruo held his hand, showing a faint smile, "Hmm, I understand what you mean."
But to her, the definition of happiness had already been lowered. Perhaps the happiness others saw was something she didn’t dare to wish for.
All she hoped for was not to be hurt anymore, to peacefully live out the rest of her life.
Under the deep night sky, a black sedan drove on a deserted road, its lights gradually revealing a glimmer of brightness ahead.
As it got closer, it became apparent that a car was parked ahead, its headlights illuminating only a short distance.
Yuchen pressed on the brakes, and the car came to a stop. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he saw a figure leaning against the hood of the car in front.
