Looking at Mo Chen’s back, Ning Dai shook her head in confusion.
She always felt that he was unhappy, but no matter how much she asked, he said that he was fine. Perhaps there was something else going on, and when his leg recovered, he would naturally tell her.
Thinking of this, Ning Dai didn’t take it to heart. She hummed a song and continued to take a shower.
Her voice traveled into the bedroom. Mo Chen was lying on the bed, tightly clenching his fingers.
‘Dai’er, are you very happy?’
Being able to get rid of her shackles is indeed something worth celebrating, right?
Heh.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. Ning Dai returned to the villa. She was so excited that her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She suddenly pushed open the bedroom door.
“Second Brother, are you ready?”
She wanted to bring him to the herbal field! She wanted to witness his rebirth with her own eyes!
Ning Dai’s gaze wandered around the small space, but there wasn’t a single person in the bedroom. If Mo Chen wasn’t here, then where was he?
Ning Dai couldn’t help but frown. For some reason, she felt uneasy. She turned around and went to the study, but there was no sign of him in the study either.
A few minutes later, Ning Dai sat on the sofa dejectedly. She had searched the entire Mo family, but Mo Chen was nowhere to be seen. Even Chen Shan had disappeared along with him.
She called him, but no one picked up. Chen Shan’s phone was not in the service area either.
The two of them seemed to be avoiding her on purpose, deliberately disappearing. But why?
The phone suddenly rang. Ning Dai subconsciously picked it up in a hurry. It was an unfamiliar number.
She frowned and picked it up. From inside came An Nanxu’s smug voice.
“Ning Dai, I’ve said it before. When you were with him back then, it was me who gave you alms. Now, I beckoned with my finger and he returned to my side.”
“Shut up.” Ning Dai was in a bad mood. She couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath on her. Just as she was about to hang up the phone, she was stopped by An Nanxu.
“Don’t hang up in a hurry. I want to listen to something for you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a deep and magnetic male voice that Ning Dai was very familiar with came from the receiver.
“Don’t play with her anymore.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” An Nanxu smiled charmingly and hung up the phone arrogantly.
The screen of the phone gradually darkened. Ning Dai clenched her fists tightly and sat there motionlessly. She could hear clearly that it was Mo Chen’s voice.
They had shared a bed for such a long time. Even if he had turned into ashes, she could still recognize his voice.
“I’ve been looking for you for so long, yet you’re at An Nanxu’s place, slapping my face.” Ning Dai smiled bitterly and slowly stood up.
She did not want to look for him anymore.
A person who left her on his own accord, why would she need to look for him?
He did not want to come back, so what was the use of finding him?
Ning Dai went straight out the door and drove to Peninsula Coffee. The hot coffee on the table emitted a charming fragrance. She drank it quietly, letting the bitterness spread on the tip of her tongue.
“Boss.” Benjamin looked at her worriedly, “Don’t be too sad. Maybe there’s a misunderstanding.”
“It’s just a man, I’m not sad.” Ning Dai laughed self-deprecatingly, raised her eyes, and stared at him, forcing herself to divert her attention.
“Tell me, you’re looking for me. Is there any change in the company?”
“No, it’s for you… and him.” Benjamin took a deep breath and sat down opposite her.
“Then don’t say anymore.” Ning Dai’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, directly cutting him off, “I don’t want to hear it.”
“I have to say, you might have been set up by the An siblings.” Benjamin stubbornly shook his head.
“Boss, while you were busy cultivating the herbs, An Nanxu used many methods to approach Mo Chen, both openly and secretly. The rumors about the affair between you and I are getting more and more ridiculous.”
“Mo Chen is a man, and is sensitive to these things. Under the guidance of the siblings, he might have mistakenly thought that you would leave him.”
Ning Dai’s expression did not change. Her brows were almost furrowed into a frown.
