Chapter 338: Would You Believe Me If I Said That It Wasn’t Like What You Thought?
Seeing that the nurse was frantically picking up the pieces of paper to hand them back to Luo Anning, Mo Xiyan grabbed her arm to stop her.
Mo Xiyan quickly scanned the various numbers and data on the test reports before looking at Luo Anning in astonishment. “Luo Anning, you…”
Luo Anning’s heart raced rapidly and she felt as if her secrets had been exposed. She hurriedly snatched the documents back in panic and stuffed them back into her envelope. She then scurried away.
“Young Madam, would you like to go back to Luxury Mansion?” The chauffeur asked.
Realizing that he was not getting a reply, he asked again, “Young Madam, would you like to go back to Luxury Mansion or to the office to look for Young Master Rong?”
Luo Anning glanced at the chauffeur with her eyes glassed over, after which the chauffeur tactfully decided to drive back to Luxury Mansion.
…
Mo Xiyan called Rong Yan and suddenly mentioned that she wanted to have some soup dumplings from a store in the suburbs named Xu’s. Hence, Rong Yan instructed Xu Zhiyuan to buy some.
Thinking that Luo Anning must have been at the hospital too, Rong Yan decided to go to the hospital right after work, in hopes of going home together with her.
When he arrived at the ward, he realized that there was no one in sight except Mo Xiyan. There wasn’t a single nurse either.
Rong Yan frowned and chided sternly, “Such irresponsible Nurses!”
Before Xu Zhiyuan could say anything, Mo Xiyan said gently, “Yan, I wanted to have some time to myself so I told them to leave. Simmer down.”
Upon hearing her words, Rong Yan decided to let the matter slide. He walked towards the bed and took out the soup dumplings from the food container, placed them on a plate and brought it to her with a pair of chopsticks.
Mo Xiyan took a bite and the flavor of the fragrant soup burst in her mouth. She smiled delightfully and exclaimed, “Yan, this is exactly the taste I’ve been craving for four years!”
When they were dating, the soup dumplings from Xu’s used to be her favorite. Regardless of how late it may be, Rong Yan would rush to buy her some whenever she craved for them. It was the same no matter rain or sunshine.
While savouring the familiar food, her memories of the past began to run through her mind.
She loved everything about him, including his virtues, flaws, tenderness, loving nature and hot temper…
Mo Xiyan felt a sudden urge to give up all her pride and dignity just to be with him. As long as she could be with him, she would be willing to do anything!
“Yan.”
Rong Yan frowned and asked, “Huh?”
After swallowing the dumpling, Mo Xiyan said, “If I told you that I still love you. I mean, if I love you now even more than I used to, would you be with me?”
Rong Yan recovered from the shock and sat up straight while keeping his narrow eyes fixed on her. “Stop joking. It’s not funny.”
Mo Xiyan hurriedly explained, “I have never once stopped loving you in the last four years. I admit that I was lying when I said that I just want to be an ordinary friend to you. I just wanted to retreat so that you would feel safe, and look at you quietly. I’d be willing even if you’re just a friend who makes me sad.”
Rong Yan noticed the panic in her eyes and how desperate she was when she was pleading. His body began to stiffen.
Mo Xiyan looked down and teared up quietly. “Four years ago, I chose to go abroad to further my studies, only because I wanted to be compatible with you. You and I were worlds apart and you have no idea how hard I worked to close the gap between us…”
“Enough.”
