Tang Song nodded in agreement with her words, "Yes, I can’t sleep at night, I can only fall asleep when I’m drunk."
Mo Ran found it incredible, "Are you that afraid of me breaking up with you? You could have just called to explain."
She had waited for him for two days, yet he didn’t dare to call.
Knowing that Mo Ran believed him, Tang Song showed a hint of a smile, "There’s no helping it, since you didn’t like me to begin with, I was very worried."
His words sounded like an accusation, and Mo Ran, who already felt guilty towards him, now felt even more embarrassed.
Lowering her gaze in apology, she said, "I’m the one who made you uneasy. However, don’t worry, I will try very hard to like you. If you have anything in the future, just tell me directly. If you keep it to yourself all the time, it will lead to many misunderstandings between us."
Tang Song’s face brightened with joy, and he reached out to hold her hand, promising, "Rest assured, I will definitely tell you if anything happens in the future."
Mo Ran looked up and smiled, "You really scared me. The other day when I called, a woman answered. I thought..."
A shadow passed through Tang Song’s eyes, but he concealed it so well that Mo Ran didn’t notice.
"You thought I had another woman?"
"...Yes." Mo Ran admitted sheepishly, feeling foolish. How could someone as good as Tang Song do anything to betray her?
"She’s my sister," he explained with difficulty, his heart aching.
This deception of Mo Ran, once she found out the truth, she surely wouldn’t forgive him, would she?
"I guessed that she was your sister," Mo Ran said with a smile, having guessed as much while he was explaining.
"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have doubted you." She apologized again seriously, "And I shouldn’t have avoided calling you without asking for clarification, making you worry needlessly."
Tang Song suddenly embraced her, hiding the deep guilt and pain in his eyes from her.
She trusted him so much, yet he had deceived her...
"It doesn’t matter, as long as you like me a little more from now on," he heard himself shamelessly saying. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
"Alright, I will try hard to fall in love with you, I definitely won’t let you down," Mo Ran said seriously as she nodded, embracing his body.
This woman, so foolish, so innocent, and too kind!
Tang Song felt like he was the greatest sinner in the world, for he had hurt such a wonderful person as her.
