Sparks flew when the two of them held each other’s gazes.
They were suddenly speechless.
Silence seemed to have shattered into pieces in the air.
Rong Yan could acutely sense something amiss between the two of them. In fact, they seemed to have a complicated relationship!
Rong Yan was infuriated to see Luo Anning gawking at another man in his presence, all smitten and dazed. He grabbed the cup of water and pushed Mo Qiange who had also returned from pouring water, and slammed it down onto the bedside cabinet.
The water splashed out of the cup and stained the sheets, as well as his fingers. Rong Yan gritted his teeth angrily and clipped, “Honey, didn’t you say that you’re thirsty? Have some water.”
Luo Anning snapped back to reality after being shocked by Rong Yan’s abrupt voice. She finally realized that she had been behaving strangely and had stared at Du Xiaoran for a long time.
She coughed uncomfortably while quietly grabbing the cup of water. She sipped on it and said, “Thank you.”
Rong Yan raised his hand and stroked her head like he was petting a pet. Before he could even compliment her for being obedient, Du Xiaoran said calmly, “Anning… ”
He sounded so calm and refined. Yet, his words seemed like a stone that caused a thousand ripples in her heart.
Rong Yan turned around swiftly and glared at Du Xiaoran coldly. Du Xiaoran held his gaze composedly with confidence.
How are they related to each other? Why did Luo Anning stare at him in such a manner?
This wretched Luo Anning. How dare she ogle another man in front of her husband. Does she really think I’m a pushover!?!
Rong Yan grew increasingly furious the more he thought about it. Upon sight of what happened, Tang Chao whipped out a cigarette and handed it to Rong Yan. “Would you like to go have a smoke?”
Rong Yan refuted without hesitation, “No!”
He would never let Luo Anning be alone with Du Xiaoran!
Mo Qiange quietly stepped forward and asked with a smile, “Young Master Tang, if you don’t mind, may I have a cigarette?”
“No problem.”
Tang Chao whipped out another cigarette and placed it in Mo Qiange’s hand. Mo Qiange smiled and grabbed it. The two of them had a tacit agreement when they gazed at each other.
Tang Chao smiled and placed a hand on Rong Yan’s shoulder before teasing, “Yan, c’mon and have a smoke with me. I’m so lonely, don’t you think so?”
“Get lost!”
Rong Yan pushed him away in disdain. However, the shameless Tang Chao continued to pester him shamelessly and pulled him out of the hospital ward.
Mo Qiange took a glance at Lu Momo before leaving the ward too. Lu Momo stared at Luo Anning and glanced at Du Xiaoran, after which she pursed her lips and scurried out of the ward.
Luo Anning and Du Xiaoran were left alone in the ward. Luo Anning was feeling rather nervous because it was the first time that they had met in two years. She released her grip and clenched her fists before unclenching them again. She finally calmed herself down after a long while.
Du Xiaoran sat by the bed and held her hand tightly. Staring at her in agony, he apologized, “Anning… I’m sorry.”
Luo Anning looked down and said coldly, “Xiaoran, there’s nothing for you to be sorry about.”
“Had I known earlier that you’ve come to England, you wouldn’t have to be put through so much torment. I was the one who harmed you… ” He lived with Laurent in the castle everyday and yet, he still had no idea that she was the one who abducted Luo Anning for two weeks.
“Xiaoran, you have nothing to do with this. Laurent was the one who did it. I don’t blame anyone else but her.”
“No. Anning, I know Laurent did that because of me,” Du Xiaoran denied while tightening his grip on her hand.
