“I don’t want to see the murderer, who hurt Qiange, in front of me while I can’t do anything for him,” she said menacingly.
“Lu Momo, how many times do I have to say that I didn’t know anything about it!?!” Tang Chao barked angrily while grabbing her thin shoulders.
“Can you wash away the sins that you’ve committed against Qiange just because you don’t know what’s going on? Don’t be so naive!” Lu Momo pushed him away and took two steps back warily. “Leave. I never want to see you again.”
Staring at the kid who often playfully bickered with him, Tang Chao’s heart wrenched in pain.
Staring at her leaving, he barked, “Lu Momo, I love you!”
Lu Momo stopped in her tracks and found it amusing.
Is he talking about love to me?
Seeing that she had stopped, Tang Chao clenched his fists tightly and said, “Lu Momo, I said I love you! Give me a chance to redeem myself, alright?”
Lu Momo turned around and sneered, “You said you love me?”
Tang Chao frowned and said, “Yes, I love you. I wanted to confess to you the night I took you to the beach, but something happened to the old man… ”
“You mean you love me while sleeping with another woman?”
Tang Chao stared at her in shock, never realizing that her words could be so… sharp.
He was caught off guard.
“Do you want to deny it? Or are you able to love two at the same time, love one with your heart and another with your lower body?”
She was innocent but not entirely stupid. In the past she was just stupid enough to overlook what kind of man he was.
After all, apart from Qing Dai, he also slept with a few other women…
But after what happened to Qiange, she no longer wanted to have anything to do with him. However, he actually came to tell her that he loved her!
How hilarious!
Tang Chao stared at her in disbelief before chuckling again. Yeah, how could he have forgotten that she was not just a dumb kid? She was not so easily fooled.
He had nothing to say because what she said was the truth.
Nothing he said could help defend his actions.
Lu Momo took a deep breath and turned around to leave.
On that day, she heard from the servants that a handsome Mr. Tang had been standing by the door for the entire day and had yet to leave.
…
On the third night of Rong Yan’s business trip, he called with a tinge of fatigue in his voice.
“Anning, things here are more serious than I thought. It might take a few more days,” he explained.
Luo Anning spent the past few days in the government office and Kristen’s house. Although she was not very busy, she went about her days with purpose.
She would call Lu Momo during the day and ask about Qiange’s condition. At night, she would go to Kristen’s place to cook and the three of them would have dinner together.
She knew that he was busy so she had been trying her best not to call him. That night, he called her and she was beyond happy.
However, before she could even get a grip on her emotions, she was overwhelmed with disappointment.
