Anran didn't expect him to ask that. She was slightly taken aback, but still replied firmly, "No." She didn't know why Chong Ming was asking, but she noticed that he visibly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing her answer.
"Alright, then I won't disturb your rest. I'll head back now. Call me if you need anything."
Chong Ming stood up and walked to the door. After changing his shoes, he added, "Anran, I'll be waiting for your news."
Anran watched him leave, not knowing what she was feeling inside.
She didn't understand how things ended up like this. And she couldn't comprehend how things had gotten to this point.
What she wanted was a peaceful and stable life, but fate just wouldn't let her have it.
Anran thought of Duan Xingzhou. If it weren't for him, there wouldn't be so much trouble.
With that thought in mind, Anran picked up the phone and called Duan Xingzhou.
The call was picked up quickly, "What, miss me so soon?"
