Just as Chen MO was about to speak, he saw Lin Chao walking out of the hospital at a leisurely pace.
“You’re watching her too closely! Can’t you give Xia Wan some personal space?” Lin Chao teased, “If she really had some special mission, wouldn’t you have exposed it by now?”
Chen MO glanced sideways at Lin Chao: “What special mission could Xia Wan, a student, have?”
“Don’t listen to his nonsense!” Xia Wan glanced at Lin Chao and opened the car door, signaling Chen MO to get in.
“What’s so urgent that you came to find me?” Xia Wan leaned back in her seat and slowly closed her eyes.
The recent events had been overwhelming, and she could only really rest when she was with Chen Mo.
“You’re taking a break from school?” Chen MO asked, concerned, looking at Xia Wan.
“It’s nothing serious. Studying at home is better to avoid unnecessary distractions, right?” Xia Wan said indifferently.
“But…” Chen MO was still worried.
“No buts!” Xia Wan cut off Chen Mo ts hesitation and opened her eyes to face him, “Don’t worry, I can handle things at school, and I chose to take a break voluntarily.”
Chen MO looked at Xia Wan and said nothing more.
Xia Wan rested with her eyes closed until they reached her home, where she slowly opened her eyes.
She didn’t hurry to leave the car, knowing Chen MO still had something to say.
“Xia Wan, I feel like you’ve been hiding a lot from me recently.” Chen MO finally voiced his thoughts.
In recent times, he always felt something was missing or extra in his relationship with Xia Wan.
Xia Wan turned to look at Chen Mo: “You’re overthinking.”
After saying this, Xia Wan suddenly felt her words were weak and unconvincing, like those of someone caught cheating.
She took a moment to gather her thoughts before speaking again: “Chen MO, there are some things I can’t tell you now, but you have to believe me, I haven’t done anything illegal or disruptive!”
Chen MO, seeing Xia Wan’s serious demeanor, suddenly laughed.
Seeing Chen MO relax, Xia Wan continued, “You know, I want to give my family a better life. I need to work harder to pave the way for them, to plan for them…” “What about yourself?” Chen MO interrupted her.
Xia Wan paused, then smiled, “Making them happy is my greatest happiness!”
Chen MO gazed deeply at Xia Wan, then pulled her into his embrace: “I know everything you do has a reason, but I hope you don’t exhaust yourself.”
“If you can’t handle it anymore, promise to tell me, okay?”
Xia Wan nestled in Chen MO’s arms and murmured “okay.”
If only she could have had such an embrace in her past life, would all the hardships have been avoided?
As Xia Wan was immersed in the security of Chen Mo’s embrace, suddenly someone knocked on the car window.
Both Xia Wan and Chen MO were startled.
Looking through the window, Xia Wan saw Cheng Mu standing outside, looking panicked.
Xia Wan frowned slightly, lowered the window, and looked at Cheng Mu: “Uncle Cheng, what brings you here at this time?”
Cheng Mu’s forehead was sweaty, and his eyes darted around: “Wanwan, Uncle Cheng… Uncle Cheng…”
Cheng Mu hesitated, glancing at Chen Mo.
Seeing this, Chen MO turned his head away from Xia Wan and Cheng Mu. Xia Wan got out of the car, “Uncle Cheng, just tell me what’s the matter!”
After looking around, Cheng Mu finally spoke in a distressed manner: “Ah,
Wanwan, something’s happened!”
“What happened?” Xia Wan guessed, “Did something happen to my uncle and the others?”
Hearing Xia Wan mention Xia Jiang, Cheng Mu finally spoke: “Yes! I took them back and they were fine!”
“They woke up a few days ago, causing a fuss. I was worried something had happened, so I gave them some medicine, and they quieted down.”
“I thought the medicine was really effective!”
“To prevent them from causing trouble again, I’d give them medicine whenever they woke up.. But today, both of them suddenly fainted with foam at their
mouths!”
