Facing off in silence.
An Nuan gently pursed her lips.
She said, "Ye Jinghuai, I said last night, give me some time. I really can't accept you right now."
Ye Jinghuai just looked at her like that.
Most of the time, An Nuan really couldn't see through his joy, anger, sorrow or happiness. His emotions were sometimes hidden to the point that even she felt terrified.
So she didn't know if she had really upset him after what she just said.
She just felt a little uneasy inside.
Because last night Ye Jinghuai said he would wait for her.
But.
She really couldn't guarantee that his wait would lead anywhere.
She'd rather he was still the original him, without needing to change anything for her.
So when she stopped the intimacy between Ye Jinghuai and Tong Zhitong, she regretted it immediately.
Regretting trying to make amends, saying things, she strangely felt like she had hurt him.
To be honest, she had never been so conflicted about a man before.
Even when she loved Gu Yan Sheng very much before, she was truly sincere in her treatment of him, honestly giving her whole self to that man, without so many worries. But now with Ye Jinghuai, she didn't even know herself, how she should treat him exactly.
She could only tell him her most honest thoughts, "I can't easily trust someone again. Everything I experienced with another man makes it so I can't help but see every person who gets close to me through tainted eyes!"
Right.
Because she didn't dare believe, she didn't dare accept.
She wouldn't accept easily either.
"An Nuan, I'm giving you time to try to understand me, not to... go farther away." Ye Jinghuai looked at her and said deeply.
"We met by chance, I don't believe in so-called love at first sight." An Nuan said directly.
She just didn't believe it, two completely unrelated people suddenly had a connection and could suddenly fall in love.
"That's why I said, give you time, to let you believe." Ye Jinghuai spoke firmly.
An Nuan seemed to realize something in that moment.
Realized.
Ye Jinghuai was saying to let her believe that he really did love her at first sight.
When did this happen?!
At the car crash in Qingxi Mountain?!
But at that time, she clearly didn't see Ye Jinghuai reveal any emotional fluctuations at all.
He clearly didn't show any feelings whatsoever.
She remembered he even looked at her impatiently.
So...
Just what else was this man hiding.
Just how many untold secrets were hidden under that incredibly handsome face.
And a man so deep as him.
How could she hand over everything about herself to him without worry.
She admitted, she was just being selfish.
But she really had no other choice.
Because failure wasn't a possibility.
Heaven wouldn't give her another chance at rebirth!
The suddenly silent space was relieved the moment the hospital room door was pushed open.
Yun Yu Qing hurriedly walked in, with anxious concern, "Jinghuai, how are you? How could you be so careless to get into such a big car accident. If Qin Jiang hadn't told Jingxuan this morning, I wouldn't even have known you were so badly injured last night."
At this moment, An Nuan was also slowly adjusting her own emotions.
"I'm fine." Ye Jinghuai said lightly, his voice also back to normal.
"How is this fine, lying in the hospital is fine?"
"The doctor just said I can be discharged now."
"Really?" Yun Yu Qing seemed a little unbelieving.
At this time, Ye Lu Ping and Ye Jingxuan had also come with Yun Yu Qing.
Ye Lu Ping also said with some unease, "Don't act tough about everything."
"The doctor really said it's nothing, just need to recuperate at home." An Nuan quickly spoke up to say.
As soon as Ye Lu Ping heard An Nuan say this, he immediately believed it.
He said to Ye Jinghuai, "Since you need to recuperate, then do it at home. There are many servants at home, and your mother and I and your brother and sister-in-law are all there. If anything is inconvenient, we can also lend a hand."
"No need, Zhong can take care of me." Ye Jinghuai directly refused.
"Asking you to go home is so difficult." Ye Lu Ping sighed helplessly.
He only sighed.
An Nuan even felt that the Ye family really pampered Ye Jinghuai. It was like whatever he said, they basically wouldn't require him as elders.
Rather than pampering, it was more like respect.
The Ye family's attitude toward Ye Jinghuai seemed different.
"Right, did you bring clothes for us?" Ye Jinghuai asked. He had also directly changed the topic of going home.
Last night before going to bed, he had already messaged Qin Jiang, asking him to bring a set of clothes for both him and An Nuan early this morning. Now that Qin Jiang wasn't here, his parents must have brought them for him.
Actually Qin Jiang looked frivolous, but did things very reliably.
Things given to him were never forgotten.
"Brought them, brought them." Yun Yu Qing quickly said, "Qin Jiang said he had something to do today and couldn't come, so first thing this morning he had Jingxuan bring clothes. Otherwise we really wouldn't have known about your car accident."
At this time, Ye Jingxuan hurriedly took out the bag with the clothes, "Just randomly packed two sets of clothes from your room for you to make do with wearing first."
"Thank you." An Nuan accepted them politely.
"No need to thank me." Ye Jingxuan smiled. At that moment, he said to his parents, "Let's go wait outside."
Then.
Ye Jingxuan left the hospital room with Yun Yu Qing and Ye Lu Ping.
An Nuan watched Ye Jingxuan's back.
She could feel Ye Jingxuan's friendliness, and really felt Ye Jingxuan was good in all aspects.
Matching with Tong Zhitong was really a waste.
She looked back.
At this time, she could also see Hu Feng standing outside on the balcony.
Hu Feng clearly also saw An Nuan looking, and hurriedly walked in from the balcony.
An Nuan spoke up, "Go out for now, we need to change."
"Alright..."
"Hu Feng." Ye Jinghuai suddenly called out to him.
"Yes, Mr. Ye?"
"Help me change clothes." Ye Jinghuai ordered.
An Nuan looked at him.
Ye Jinghuai's expression was unchanged, seemingly very normal.
An Nuan pursed her lips, also pretending not to notice his pettiness.
She took out her own clothes from the bag, and directly went into the bathroom.
Behind her, Ye Jinghuai watched An Nuan's back.
This heartless woman didn't even say a polite remark!
