Ruan Xingwan chatted with Pei Shanshan for a while, but there were several knocks on the door outside.
Daniel said: "Can I come in?"
Pei Shanshan lets out a long sigh.
Ruan Xingwan smiled, turned around and said, "Come in."
Soon, the bedroom door was opened. Daniel held the tray in his hand, walked to the other side of the bed, and placed the tray on the bedside table. The aroma of food instantly filled the entire room.
Daniel looked at Ruan Xingwan: "Miss Ruan, please stay for dinner, I've already prepared it."
Ruan Xingwan said: "No, I have to go find Zhou Cishen later."
After saying that, she stood up and said to Pei Shanshan: "Then you have a good rest and call me if you need anything. I'll leave first."
Pei Shanshan nodded and stretched out his hand towards her, with a look of reluctance on his face.
Ruan Xingwan leaned over and hugged her: "I'll come see you tomorrow."
"Then forget it. Maybe Mr. Zhou will cause trouble for me again. I'll go find you when I get better."
Ruan Xingwan smiled: "It's not that exaggerated."
Pei Shanshan lets go of her: "I won't send you off. Be careful on the way back."
"good."
As soon as Ruan Xingwan turned around, Daniel stopped her and called her: "Miss Ruan."
Ruan Xingwan turned around: "What's wrong?"
Daniel said to Pei Shanshan: "Shanshan, you eat first, I will send Miss Ruan off."
Pei Shanshan waved her hand quickly: "Go ahead, go ahead."
After entering the elevator, Daniel said: "How is Zhao Jing's matter? If you need me to do anything, Miss Ruan can tell you directly."
Ruan Xingwan said: "Thank you, but I have almost taken care of it. You can just stay here and accompany Shanshan."
Daniel nodded, and after a while he said: "But she doesn't seem to want to see me. I know I didn't leave a good impression on you before, so I don't really want to take care of her."
After a pause, Ruan Xingwan said again: "Do you want to take care of her these days, or all the time in the future?"
Hearing this, Daniel frowned slightly and said nothing for a while.
At this time, the elevator door opened and the two of them walked out together.
Ruan Xingwan continued: "Shanshan told me that you are considering it.
This matter is related to the lives of both of you, so you should think about it clearly. No matter what the outcome is, Shanshan will accept it.
But I still say the same thing, if you don’t like what she says, you should still keep a distance from some things and don’t let her misunderstand.”
After a long while, Daniel said: "I don't want to hurt her."
"I know, but dragging on some things unclearly is the greatest harm to her."
"Does she...still like me now?"
Ruan Xingwan stopped: "This is between the two of you, and I can't tell."
Daniel raised his hand and touched his eyebrows, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ruan Xingwan took out the keys and unlocked the car: "Then I'll leave first. If anything happens to Shanshan's keys, please call me."
"good."
Daniel hesitated for a moment, but when the words came to his lips, he still didn't make a sound.
Ruan Xingwan saw that he was hesitant to speak and asked, "What's wrong?"
Daniel said: "Miss Ruan, do you... already know."
"what do you know."
After he finished speaking, Ruan Xingwan realized what he was asking. He pursed his lips slightly and said nothing.
Daniel said: "I understand what you are thinking and worrying about. As you said, lingering on some things unclearly is the greatest harm.
And if Xiaochen knows, he will definitely be happy for you, so you don’t have to..."
Ruan Xingwan said lightly: "Actually, I'm not just doing it for Xiao Chen."
"That is?"
"Twenty years have passed since the incident, and I don't remember anything that happened before, or even what he looked like.
Therefore, he is a stranger to me, and I don't know how to get along with him.
Maybe you all think that I should feel happy, but I never felt this joy from beginning to end.
I don’t know why I have such a mentality. Instead of making things awkward and awkward for both parties when the time comes, it would be better to just treat it like I don’t know from the beginning.”
In fact, Daniel understood what she said, but he had no relatives since he was a child and was later adopted by William.
Relatives are also strangers to him and have no memory.
It was only because he grew up with William and knew the importance of William's deceased wife and daughter to him. He felt that it was not a solution for them to be frozen like this, so he wanted to ask Ruan Xingwan again what he thought.
After a while, Daniel said: "He may be returning to England in a few days."
Ruan Xingwan was probably a little surprised, so he remained silent before saying, "Lin Zhi'an... hasn't been found yet?"
"We have been looking for Lin Zhian for such a long time, but there is still no news about him.
He is either dead or hidden. No matter which possibility it is, it will not be found in a short while.
There are still a lot of things backlogged in the company, so we can’t spend all our time here.”
Ruan Xingwan nodded slightly: "I understand."
Daniel said: "What's more, Cheng Wei, I, and Mr. Jin are all here. As long as Lin Zhi'an shows up, he won't be able to escape."
"Why don't you go with him?"
Daniel shook his head: "No."
After being silent for a while, Ruan Xingwan said: "I'm leaving. I'll see Shanshan again in two days."
"good."
On the way to Zhou's, Ruan Xingwan was always a little absent-minded and did not notice that there was a car behind her that had been following her for a long time.
After driving for a certain distance, Ruan Xingwan found a roadblock in the middle of the road. She had just stepped on the brakes, but before she could turn the steering wheel, a car behind her slammed into it.
The car was rushed out for more than ten meters due to inertia. Ruan Xingwan endured the severe dizziness in his head and pressed the brakes firmly.
When the car stopped, she leaned on the driver's seat and felt that the scenery in front of her was blurry.
At this time, someone knocked on the car window, and a man’s face was pressed against the glass: “Miss, are you okay?
I'm sorry, I didn't notice you suddenly stopped the car, open the door, and I'll take you to the hospital..."
As soon as Ruan Xingwan touched the button to open the door, she remembered what Zhou Cishen once told her, asking her to stay in the car if something happened, not to open the door, and to call him.
Ruan Xingwan struggled to pick up the cell phone next to him, but before he could dial Zhou Cishen's number, his consciousness became less and less blurry.
The knocking sounds outside became more and more intensive and rapid, making people feel uncomfortable with each sound.
Ruan Xingwan locked all the doors and windows before closing his eyes.
Outside, the man asked: "What should I do if she doesn't open the door?
How about just smashing the glass?"
The man's companion looked around: "Are you stupid? We're afraid that others won't know that we hit her on purpose. There's a car coming from behind. Call the police!"
