Xia Nuannuan lay on the rug, listening to Shen Zichuan’s steady breathing as he slept .
Biting her lip, she waited for a while before she sat up and looked at the various bruises on her body . Her eyes turned bloodshot .
When she turned to look at Shen Zihao, however, she saw that he had gotten into a deep sleep and it didn’t look like he was going to wake up any time soon .
She stared at him, mesmerized, for a long time before she stood up . Using whatever strength she had left, she got him onto her bed, threw the blanket over him, and then got dressed .
She couldn’t think how she was going to face him .
She had to admit it .
She really did like Shen Zihao .
At the Glitter Club, when the men had made things difficult for her, he had appeared out of the blue like an unrivalled hero . And in that instant, she had fallen in love with him .
The fact was that, sometimes, one second was all it would take to fall in love .
It was just that she had never imagined there would come a day when she would have relations with this man .
They were from two different worlds .
She hung the head the moment this thought entered her mind . She hurriedly packed her belongings . Dragging her suitcase behind her, she quickly left the apartment .
After a few hours, Shen Zihao gradually woke up .
The moment he opened his eyes, he had a splitting headache .
But when he saw the pink sheets and smelled the fresh fragrance, he recalled what had happened .
For a moment, he sat there stunned and stared blankly .
Vaguely, he remembered himself and Xia Nuannuan .
At this thought, he hurriedly jumped out of bed to look for her .
However, there was no one else in the apartment .
Shen Zihao knitted his brows . Putting a bathrobe on, he started looking for his cell phone .
He took the wallet out of his pocket and tossed it aside . Then, he looked around some more for the cell phone . Suddenly, he halted .
He turned to look again at his wallet .
He had always found troublesome to carry cash around and paid for things mostly with his credit cards .
Hence, he only had 2,000 in his wallet .
But now all that cash was gone .
Frowning, an uncomfortable idea suddenly surfaced in his mind .
At this point, his cell phone rang .
He finally found his cell phone underneath the pillow . Looking at the screen, he saw Xia Nuannuan’s name .
After a short pause, he picked up the line .
She spoke in a low voice, “Mr . Shen? You’re awake?”
He made an expressionless grunt as an affirmation .
Silence . For a moment, both of them said nothing .
Another moment passed before Xia Nuannuan spoke again to explain, “Aunt Xia’s condition has stabilized . She’s out of danger and things are okay . ”
“Oh . ”
An awkward silence . Shen Zihao cleared his throat and continued, “Well, then, I—”
Suddenly nervous, she quickly interrupted him, “Mr . Shen, I- I don’t need you to take responsibility . ”
Didn’t need him to take up the responsibility?
The handsome man raised an eyebrow as his gaze fell on his wallet once more . His lips turned upwards into a smile . “2,000 for a night . It’s not expensive, but it’s not cheap either . ”
Xia Nuannuan froze upon hearing his words .
She stood on the balcony in Xia Yehua’s ward, her eyes staring ahead blankly .
She bit her lip as her fingers curled tightly around her cell phone .
So, was that the sort of person he thought she was?
That she had taken his money after he slept with her?
She smiled bitterly . Suddenly, she didn’t feel like giving any explanations .
She only felt a wrenching pain in her heart .
