Qiao Ruoxi quickly sorted out her thoughts. It wasn’t hard to guess that if Feng Yunan’s necklace wasn’t the one that had been replaced, then it meant that the real necklace had been replaced.
The one he had brought just happened to be the one that had been swapped. It was the same as helping her fake the certificate.
He helped her out. Was that even possible?
She could not believe him, but his eyes were so serious and certain. He did not seem to be lying.
Qiao Ruoxi had a strange look on her face as she recalled what had happened.
“But you said that you were the one who bought the necklace. You swapped it out because you wanted to punish someone like me.”
He could tell from her tone that she was upset.
Although she wasn’t convicted of the crime of theft, she had mistakenly thought that he was really taking revenge on her.
He looked straight ahead and said calmly, “If I didn’t say so back then, you might be sitting in a police car now.”
He meant that if he had not spoken up for her, she would have been taken away by the police.
Qiao Ruoxi turned to look at him in surprise. She could only see his focused side profile, and the shadow outlined a perfect arc on his face.
Her heart trembled.
“Why?”
She didn’t understand and seemed to be in a state of extreme shock and suspicion. “Last night you said I was a promiscuous woman. You said I was a pawn of Mu Yunli. You didn’t believe anything I said…”
Before she could finish, he said, “I believe you now.”
“…”
Qiao Ruoxi was stunned. What was wrong with him?
Why did he suddenly believe her?
Why did it sound so unreliable?
Qiao Ruoxi’s heart was in a mess.
Because of his sudden change, she was at a loss.
He carefully tried to recall what happened with Wen Ke’er. If he wanted to take revenge on her, he didn’t even need to take out the necklace. As long as he could prove that the necklace was fake, it would be enough to convict her.
However, he did not. He actually lied in front of everyone and said that he had bought the necklace.
He had taken all the blame for her. A simple joke had resolved the crisis. She did not need to take any more responsibility.
He had deliberately urged her to go back to work because he wanted to help her get out of her predicament.
After understanding everything, Qiao Ruoxi could not describe how complicated she felt.
Just now, her heart was filled with hatred for him. She hated that she could not skin him alive, pull out his tendons, drink his blood, and carve his bones into squares.
But now, why was she so touched?
When she was being framed, someone was willing to speak up for her and clear her name. What could be more touching than this?
For some reason, Qiao Ruoxi recalled everything that had happened between them.
Whenever she was at her most helpless, he would always be the first to appear.
But at the same time, he was also the one who spared no effort in humiliating and hurting her.
She could no longer tell if he was the angel of salvation or Satan from hell.
When she finally recovered from the shock, Feng Yunan’s car had already arrived at Fengtian Hospital.
After getting out of the car, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the private elevator of the hospital. They went straight to the VVIP ward on the top floor.
She stopped resisting and followed him closely, as if she was already used to his tyrannical behavior.
Xiu Yi had been waiting for a long time. The things were already prepared.
Feng Yunan took Qiao Ruoxi into the ward and said, “Change out of your dirty clothes first.”
“Oh.”
Qiao Ruoxi’s work clothes and jacket were indeed too dirty to wear. She did not refuse, but when she saw the tall man standing in front of her, she said awkwardly, “Mr. Feng, can you go out for a while?”
