Chapter 252: What Do You Take Me For? (8)
Since he did not plan to take responsibility for her life from now on, why did he have to go and bother her back then?
As a man, he could tell the difference between decent women and those whom he could not get serious with. Hence, he understood that Luo Anning definitely would not sacrifice her pride.
Relations.h.i.+p games should all end before marriage.
Not to mention, he saw Rong Yan getting angry and anxious when Luo Anning went missing in England previously. Hence, he knew that Rong Yan did fancy Luo Anning.
Yet, he got into a tiff with Luo Anning over his insignificant past. At the end of the day, it was still a scar in his heart that he could not get rid of.
Tang Chao did not mean to side with Luo Anning but he simply did not want Rong Yan to make mistake after mistake and end up regretting his decisions.
All of Rong Yan’s friends were speaking up for Luo Anning, thus causing Rong Yan’s face to grow sullen. He tightened his grip on his wine gla.s.s and remained silent while chugging the alcohol before standing up.
“I’ll handle my own affairs. I’m leaving now.”
The door of the private room was closed and Tang Chao shook his head smilingly before picking up a gla.s.s of wine and taking a sip out of it. Feng Churui put his doc.u.ments aside and poured himself some wine. After clinking gla.s.ses with Tang Chao, he said, “Things are perhaps not as terrible as we imagined.”
“I hope so. Mo Xiyan… Mo Xiyan, how terrible. I just don’t get what Rong Yan likes about a selfish woman like her!”
Feng Churui paused and said, “Who knows?”
…
On the way back to the apartment, Rong Yan dialed the landline in Luxury Mansion and Auntie Li was the one who picked up.
“Has she gone home?”
Auntie Li knew who he was referring to. The mansion had been without its master and mistress for the entire night.
Auntie Li sighed and said, “Young Madam hasn’t been back since she went out. She didn’t bring the bodyguards along and her mobile phone has been turned off too. Could something have happened to Young Madam?”
In the past two years, Luo Anning would at least call home to inform the servants that she would be coming home late so that they could put their minds at ease.
However, she did not return ever since she left today and they could not reach her on her mobile either. Auntie Li was rather worried about Luo Anning, especially since the rumors were spreading like wildfire on the internet.
Rong Yan turned away and looked at the scenery. He then said coldly, “Got it.”
Greatly taken aback, Auntie Li wondered, is that all?
“Young Master Rong… you… aren’t you worried about Young Madam? Do you need us to send some people there to find her?”
“No need. She’ll return if she wants to.”
Rong Yan hung up and rubbed his temples. The alcohol had begun to kick in and he felt like he was in a daze.
“Young Master Rong, would you like to return to Luxury Mansion or the apartment?” the chauffeur asked.
Rong Yan answered without hesitation, “The apartment.”
…
Luo Anning spent the night shopping at the night market with Lu Momo and she could not help but take her hat off to Lu Momo for her gluttony.
They ate street food from the stalls along the entire street without stopping. Luo Anning had a smaller appet.i.te and hence could not eat that much. Along the way, she was just helping Lu Momo carry her food.
Staring at Lu Momo who had a barbecued skewer in her left hand and a smoothie in her right, Luo Anning cautioned, “Momo, know your limits. Don’t damage your stomach!”
Lu Momo wolfed down the mutton and took a sip of the smoothie before saying in satisfaction, “Nah, I can still eat.”
