Seeing this, Wan Ruo thought he was about to do something improper to her again...
She struggled even more desperately, using all her strength to push Bai Chen away.
But Bai Chen grabbed her hands and pinned her firmly to the bed.
Wan Ruo bit her lips and stared at him fiercely. He was really bullying her...
Seeing Wan Ruo's intense reaction, Bai Chen frowned slightly and said, "Don't worry. I won't touch you. Don't react so violently. You might get hurt!"
"Then why don't you let go of me!" Wan Ruo looked at him with her tearful eyes and said with a sob.
Seeing this, Bai Chen slowly let go of Wan Ruo's hands and got up to sit on the edge of the bed.
Why did it seem that after coming back from the Road to Hades, Wan Ruo was worried about everyone but seemed much colder towards him?
His brows furrowed as he thought deeply. "Is she avoiding me?..." Before Bai Chen could finish his sentence.
He saw Wan Ruo get up and rush straight towards the door!
"She really doesn't give up, huh?"
Still trying to escape. Bai Chen pressed his finger against his Jingming acupoint helplessly. With a wave of his hand, he closed the door tightly.
Wan Ruo was about to walk out of the room when, unexpectedly, the door "banged" shut on its own.
She shook the door with all her might, but it wouldn't open. She turned around and leaned against the door, looking at Bai Chen.
At this moment, Bai Chen walked towards her step by step.
"Why are you running?" Bai Chen stared at her as if she were prey.
Wan Ruo looked flustered and said awkwardly, "No, I'm not!"
Bai Chen walked up to her, propped his hand against the door forcefully, leaned down, and got very close to her face. He saw that her eyes were dodging. She was clearly lying!
At this moment, Wan Ruo was so ashamed that she didn't dare to look at him at all. The ambiguous atmosphere quietly arose.
Her heart raced, and her face flushed red instantly. She was at a loss.
"Do you still fear me even now?" Bai Chen asked with a hint of confusion in his brows.
They had been through so much together. Why did it suddenly feel like their relationship had become so strange?
Hearing this, Wan Ruo lowered her head and replied coldly, "No!"
No? Then why?
Bai Chen lifted her chin with his finger, frowned slightly, and said seriously, "Look at me! What exactly are you worried about?"
Seeing Bai Chen's solemn expression, Wan Ruo couldn't help but get a bit emotional! She let out a cold snort and said self - deprecatingly, "Worried about what? Humph! I just don't want to live in lies anymore!"
Lies? Bai Chen was hurt by Wan Ruo's words!
Why would she say that? Bai Chen didn't understand what she meant. He had never lied to her. Why would she think so?
"Is there some misunderstanding between us?"
Wan Ruo shook her head. "Let me go, okay? I'll give you two choices. Either take what you want from me right now. I'll just die. Or... let me go. I don't want to have any relationship with you ever again!"
She pointed at her chest and said to him.
Did she really think it was that easy? Just die? Humph. Only someone who had experienced life and death could be so indifferent to it!
Was she threatening him with her life just to leave him? Humph! Did she really think he had no way to deal with her?
"Fine! Since that's the case, I'll grant your wish!" As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Chen raised his hand and was about to take out her heart to see why it was so cold!
Seeing this, Wan Ruo immediately closed her eyes in fear, looking like she was ready to face death.
But seeing her like this, Bai Chen hesitated and didn't move for a long time. Finally, he angrily slammed his hand against the door. The door was instantly shattered!
"Get out! I don't want to see you again. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other!" Bai Chen turned around and said coldly.
Seeing this, Wan Ruo shivered in fear. Her heart was about to jump out of her throat!
She looked at the shattered door behind her and couldn't help but swallow hard. She had been constantly testing the limits of danger. She didn't know when she would be torn to pieces like this door!
Wan Ruo bowed deeply to him. "I'm sorry. Thank you!" Then she turned around and ran away.
Watching Wan Ruo's departing back, Bai Chen couldn't help but feel heartache. He thought he would never lose her again, but it seemed that he still had.
On the other side, Si Hongxi received the news from Wan Ruo and rushed over immediately.
At this moment, Wan Ruo was taking care of Qin Manman. The doctor had already been there. According to Yun Jiu, Qin Manman had woken up. She had just taken the tonic prescribed by the doctor and fallen asleep.
Si Hongxi came to Wan Ruo's residence. Seeing that Qin Manman was getting better little by little, he finally felt relieved.
"He's resting in his residence. If you can't find the way, ask Miss Yun Jiu to lead you there," Wan Ruo said indifferently without even raising her head as she looked at Si Hongxi beside her.
Si Hongxi noticed that Wan Ruo was acting so abnormally. He couldn't help but guess, "Why do I feel like you don't want to see him? Did you two quarrel?"
Si Hongxi instantly saw through Wan Ruo's thoughts. She tried her best to cover it up and said, "No. I still have to stay here to take care of Manman, so I can't accompany you. Don't think too much!"
Watching Wan Ruo lie with a panicked and eager tone was really funny!
Seeing Si Hongxi giggling beside her, Wan Ruo asked dissatisfiedly, "What are you laughing at?"
"No, nothing! I'm just afraid that if you don't go, Shopkeeper Bai might not welcome me," Si Hongxi said teasingly.
Hearing this, Wan Ruo felt a bit guilty. She had just offended Bai Chen. If Bai Chen saw her now, he would definitely not welcome Si Hongxi!
"That's none of my business. Anyway, I've told you," Wan Ruo murmured in a low voice.
It seemed that the two of them were really angry. Si Hongxi couldn't help but shake his head helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, okay. Thank you. Is that okay?"
"You can't just talk. Shouldn't you... show something?" Wan Ruo pouted and rubbed her two fingers in front of Si Hongxi playfully.
Si Hongxi frowned tightly. When did she become so greedy for money? He casually took off his money bag and threw it to Wan Ruo. He said domineeringly and indulgently, "Is this enough? If not, do you want me to write you an IOU first?"
Wan Ruo caught the money bag. Oh my god, it was so heavy! She opened it. Oh my god, it was more than enough!
"Enough, enough, enough. Thank you, sir, for the reward!" Wan Ruo was as happy as a child.
Seeing this, Si Hongxi couldn't help but shake his head and said helplessly, "I'll go over and take a look first. I'll come back later."
"Okay. Take your time, sir. I won't see you off!" Wan Ruo's cute and playful look made Si Hongxi feel that the money was well - spent!
After Si Hongxi left, Wan Ruo's happy face instantly turned solemn. She took a deep breath and looked at the silver in her hand, thinking that she would consider it a loan and would pay it back!
Then she gathered herself and put away the money bag.
In a blink of an eye, Si Hongxi, guided by Miss Yun Jiu, came to Bai Chen's residence.
He couldn't believe his eyes. The door...
There were debris everywhere, a complete mess.
Si Hongxi: "..."
What had just happened?
The debris crunched under his feet. It was so hard to avoid!
"Did an explosion happen here? Why is it such a mess?" Si Hongxi complained to Bai Chen as soon as he stepped into the door.
