Nan Xun turned off her phone and got out of the car quickly, running toward the path.
The sky was not beautiful and not long after, it started to rain.
That person saw Nan Xun and kept chasing after her.
an Xun took a few detours before shaking that person off.
After confirming that the person could not catch up, Nan Xun slowly relaxed.
Damn it, she was really exhausted tonight!
an Xun was drenched. She wiped the rain off her face and looked around.
Even she did not know where this place was.
She would not be able to go back for a while. She had to find a place to rest for the night.
an Xun saw a dim light not far away. She was delighted and hurried over.
She raised her hand and knocked on the door.
After a while, an auntie opened the door.
This was an orchard and an old couple lived here.
The auntie was slightly surprised when she saw the drenched Nan Xun. “Young lady, you…
“Auntie, I’m sorry. I got lost and dropped my phone. I can’t go back for a while. Can I come in and hide from the rain?”
The auntie moved away. “Of course. Young lady, come in quickly!”
Nan Xun thanked him and went into the house.
When the uncle saw the drenched Nan Xun, he said to the auntie, “Hurry and get a set of clean clothes for the girl.”
The auntie looked at the fair and beautiful Nan Xun and said shyly, “Young lady, I’ll get you a set of my clothes. Please don’t mind it.”
“Thank you, I don’t mind.”
After the auntie took her clothes, she went to the kitchen to boil water.
Nan Xun washed up briefly and changed into clean and simple clothes.
The auntie tidied up a room. “We’re here to look at the orchard and the conditions are not good. Young lady, you can sleep here for the night!”
Nan Xun nodded.
“Auntie, can I borrow your phones to make a call?”
“I have a phone, but the signal here is not good.” The auntie handed Nan Xun an old phone.
Nan Xun took her phone and walked under the roof.
No matter what, she should call Tang Mo to tell him she was safe!
She called Tang Mo’s number and it rang once before it was answered.
“Nan Xun?” Tang Mo’s voice trembled.
Nan Xun hummed. “I’m safe now. You don’t have to worry.”
“Where are you?”
Nan Xun did not know why he was asking this. She looked around. “I don’t know where it is either. There’s a large orchard here. The uncles and aunties guarding the orchard are very nice and arranged a room for me.
I’m going to rest.”
“What orchard…”
The signal was not good and Nan Xun could not hear what Tang Mo said. She said hello a few times and muttered to herself, “The signal is too bad. I’m hanging up. You don’t have to worry about me. Go and do your
own things.”
After Nan Xun finished the call and returned the phone to the auntie, she lay on the bed.
The rain did not slow down at all. The sound of the wind and rain mixed together, making people panic.
an Xun buried her face in the blanket. Thinking of what had happened today, she still had lingering fears.
ff she had not been on high alert and held her breath when the handkerchief covered her mouth and nose, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
She had heard before that rich families had many sinister methods for benefits. This time, it had happened to her. Just the thought of it was scary!
Fortunately, after she transferred the shares back to Tang Mo, she had nothing to do with the Tang family. This should not happen again!
n her daze, Nan Xun fell asleep.
After some time, there was a knock on the door.
an Xun jolted awake.
When she got out of bed, the uncle and auntie were already awake.
“Who would come so late at night?” The auntie asked in confusion.
The uncle opened the door and a cold wind blew in. Nan Xun, who was standing beside the auntie, saw a tall and thin black figure standing outside.
Nan Xun widened her eyes.
Tang Mo?
“Young man, are you here to hide from the rain too?” The uncle looked at the man who was holding a black umbrella with an extraordinary aura and asked gently.
Tang Mo looked at Nan Xun in the room and their eyes met. A few seconds later, he looked away and nodded at the uncle. “I’m here to look for someone.”
The uncle and auntie immediately understood.
After Nan Xun recovered from the shock, she said, “He came to find me.”
“It’s not convenient to go back in such heavy rain. Since you’re here, come in!”
Nan Xun replied awkwardly for Tang Mo, “I’m really sorry to trouble you.”
Tang Mo was tall and the moment he entered, the room seemed cramped.
The auntie was about to boil water when Nan Xun said to her, “I’ll go. I grew up in the village and am good at doing this. Auntie, go and rest with me!”
Seeing Nan Xun’s insistence, the auntie asked her to go to the kitchen.
With her years of experience, this young couple should be a couple.
After the uncle and auntie returned to their room, Nan Xun looked at the man standing in the main room. He was tall and blocked the light in the room. His handsome face was hidden in the light and she could not see
his eyes clearly.
Nan Xun made a cup of tea for him. “How did you find this place?”
He pursed his lips and said nothing.
Nan Xun frowned. “Didn’t I say I’m fine?” Didn’t he know what he was looking for outside in this weather?”
Tang Mo pursed his lips tightly, his voice slightly hoarse. “Are you injured anywhere?”
“No, I’m fine.”
He looked at her with an unprecedented seriousness. “I’m sorry for scaring you.”
He had not gone out recently and did not know what had happened outside. After coming out of the meeting room, he learned from his assistant, Meng Yi, that her company had gone bankrupt.
“Grandpa almost harmed you when he gave you the shares. I won’t transfer it back to you, but I’ll give you a bonus every year.”
an Xun waved his hand. “I have my own hands and feet. I can start afresh. I don’t want the Tang family’s money.”
Tang Mo’s gaze on her darkened. “You don’t want to have anything to do with our Tang family anymore?”
an Xun returned Tang Mo’s gaze.
“T’ll go boil some water. You can wash your face later.”
an Xun walked toward the kitchen.
n the kitchen, she filled a pot with boiling water and lit the firewood. She sat on a small stool and looked at the crackling firewood, her expression slightly dazed.
Footsteps sounded at the door and Tang Mo walked over with a teacup. Looking at Nan Xun, who was sitting in front of the stove, he leaned against the door and his gaze landed on her.
o matter how slow Nan Xun was, she still noticed his gaze.
Her scalp turned numb from being stared at.
She brushed her hair away. “Is there something on my face?”
Tang Mo narrowed his eyes slightly. “Nothing. I just realized that the more time I spend with you, the more different you are from other women.”
Goosebumps appeared on Nan Xun’s arms when she heard this..
