Nan Xun lowered her head, trying to reduce her presence.
After a while, after the water boiled, she stood up and fetched a basin of water.
“T’ll bring it to your room.”
Without waiting for him to say anything, Nan Xun took the water and left hurriedly.
Looking at her fleeing figure, Tang Mo frowned slightly.
Tang Mo walked into the room but Nan Xun did not leave immediately. She stared at his legs. “I’ll heat it up for you.”
Tang Mo pursed his lips tightly. “No need.”
Nan Xun knew that he had his dignity. If he did not agree, she would not force him.
“Then sleep on the bed after you warm it up. I’ll sleep in the main room.” Nan Xun turned to leave, but the next second, he grabbed her slender wrist.
“If I wasn’t crippled, would you still insist on divorcing me?”
Nan Xun struggled out of his hold and looked up at his handsome face. “I told you a long time ago that you’re not my type.”
Tang Mo’s gaze on her darkened. “You’ve worked hard in the capital for so long. Do you blame me for losing the company because of our Tang family’s internal conflict?”
Nan Xun shook her head.
“I won’t blame you. But if you still have some pity for me, don’t have anything to do with me in the future. I want to return to the life before we met.”
She had already said it so clearly, what else could he say?
She would rather the company go bankrupt than ask him for help. It was enough to prove how determined she was to cut ties with him!
Tang Mo hummed. “I understand.”
Nan Xun walked out of the room.
Unable to fall asleep, she opened the door and stood under the roof.
The rain was still heavy and showed no signs of easing.
Nan Xun stood there for a while. Tang Mo walked over after showering and looked at her slender but strong back in a daze.
If another woman had been kidnapped, she might have panicked, but not only had she escaped, she was still calm.
When he came over, she did not complain to him, nor did she jump into his arms to seek comfort.
This woman was invulnerable and was very different from the ones he had interacted with before!
“Go to your room.”
an Xun turned back to look at Tang Mo and waved her hand. “It’s alright. I slept for a while just now. I’m not sleepy.”
Tang Mo stared into her eyes, his eyebrows raised slightly and his lips curled up slightly. “Are you not sleepy or are you afraid of sleeping with me?”
an Xun said, “We’re divorced. It’s not good to sleep in the same bed.”
“I’m just sleeping. I’m not doing anything.” He walked to her side and pulled her arm naturally.
tt seemed like he would not let go of her if she did not go to sleep.
an Xun was pulled into the room.
an Xun was a little embarrassed.
He was calm as he lay on the bed and stared at her. “I still have to take off my prosthetic leg when you’re asleep.”
an Xun pursed her lips and lay on the bed stiffly.
There was a pillow between them.
an Xun turned sideways and faced the door.
tt was not far away, but there seemed to be a galaxy between them.
Turning off the lights, the room sank into darkness.
an Xun could not fall asleep for a moment. She knew that he was not asleep either and broke the silence. “I heard that you had a board meeting today. What happened after that? Did Lawyer Zhang call you?”
Tang Mo hummed. “It’s all thanks to you.”
“It’s good that I didn’t cause you any trouble.” Nan Xun heaved a sigh of relief.
After that, they stopped talking.
Nan Xun had fallen asleep. Hearing her even breathing, Tang Mo turned to look at her.
The room was dark and she could not see her face clearly.
He reached out and touched the back of her head. He lifted a strand of hair with his fingertips and curled it gently. He slowly approached her and kissed the back of her head.
When Nan Xun woke up, Tang Mo was no longer by her side.
This was the most peaceful night the two of them had on the same bed.
In the past, they were either arguing or panicking.
His grandfather’s departure had made him mature a lot.
Nan Xun got up and walked out of the main room. The rain had stopped and Tang Mo was standing in the yard. His figure was slender and the green mountains looked like a beautiful painting.
The auntie came out and called Nan Xun and Tang Mo for breakfast.
After breakfast, Nan Xun changed the auntie’s clothes and tidied the room. When she was tidying the pillow, she found a wad of money under it.
It should be ten thousand dollars.
Nan Xun did not have a phone or wallet, let alone cash. Tang Mo had secretly given this money to the uncles and aunties.
Nan Xun glanced at the man standing in the yard after breakfast through the window.
Actually, he did not seem to be too bad!
On the way back to the Capital.
Tang Mo asked Nan Xun, “What do you plan to do next?”
Nan Xun flexed her fingers. “Go back to your hometown for a while and accompany Grandma. We’ll work hard again after you’ve rested enough.”
“I heard that you used your own private savings when compensating. I’ll transfer that money to your account.”
“No need, no need. I still have enough money to spend.”
Tang Mo said, “That’s another thing. If you don’t want to be entangled with me, you have to accept this money. When you come to the capital to start a business again, you’ll need capital.”
Nan Xun said nothing more.
After returning to the capital, Nan Xun did not return to her hometown immediately.
She bought a new phone and got a new SIM card.
The money Tang Mo had transferred to her had arrived two days ago.
Before Nan Xun returned to his hometown, he treated Bo Cixue to a meal.
Bo Cixue looked at Nan Xun and could not help asking, “Are you really not interested in Brother Tang Mo?”
“It’s not like you don’t know me. If I didn’t sleep with the wrong person, Tang Mo and I would have nothing to do with each other.”
Bo Cixue sighed slightly. “Since you’ve made a decision, I won’t say anything else. Go back and have a good rest and accompany Grandma. I’ll go to your hometown to play with you when I have time.”
“Sure.”
On the day Nan Xun returned, she met Xiao Mo downstairs.
Xiao Mo had specially come to look for Nan Xun. He had gone to a banquet two days ago and heard someone mention Nan Xun and Tang Mo, saying that they had divorced.
This news was not made public and only a small number of people knew about it.
Xiao Mo drove over and when he saw Nan Xun with two suitcases, he hurriedly got out of the car. “Xun’er, where are you going?”
“I’m going back to my hometown for a while.”
Xiao Mo took the suitcase from Nan Xun. “Are you going to the airport? I’ll take you there.”
On the way to the airport, Xiao Mo asked Nan Xun about the divorce. Nan Xun did not hide it from him. “Yes, there are no rumors about those people.”
Xiao Mo knew that Old Master Tang had passed away a few days ago. He thought that the divorce between Nan Xun and Tang Mo would be put on hold, but he did not expect them to leave so quickly.
Xiao Mo looked at Nan Xun’s fair side profile. “I can woo you openly now.”.
