Ruan Xingwan put down the things in his hands and walked towards the door.
She stood in front of the monitor and saw no one outside.
Ruan Xingwan pushed the door open and looked around. Just when she was about to close the door, a low-pitched male voice came from not far away: "Miss Ruan."
Ruan Xingwan heard the sound and looked over, and saw a familiar figure at the elevator entrance.
She was stunned for two seconds before speaking: "Daniel?"
The man walked towards her, his face looked a little sickly pale, and his tall figure was a little shaky.
Daniel forced a smile and asked, "Isn't Shanshan here?"
Ruan Xingwan opened her mouth. Seeing him like this, her words were instantly choked in her throat. She took a step aside and said, "You can come in first and then talk."
Daniel said: "No, I can't stay outside for too long. If Shanshan is not here, I will come back another day."
As he spoke, he paused, as if he wanted to say something to Ruan Xingwan, but he felt that it would be better to explain those things in front of Pei Shanshan.
Ruan Xingwan said: "Are you okay?"
Daniel shook his head: "It's okay. I'm sorry for making you worry about me, Miss Ruan, during this period."
"As long as you're okay..."
Ruan Xingwan originally had more questions to ask, but looking at Daniel like this, he felt like he wouldn't be able to hold on for long, as if he would fall to the ground in the next second.
Ruan Xingwan's eyes fell on the back of his hand and the medical tape.
Apparently, he should have run away from the hospital.
Ruan Xingwan said: "Let me take you to the hospital."
Daniel said: "Don't bother, I'll just take a taxi."
After speaking, he turned around and entered the elevator.
Ruan Xingwan said "Hey" and quickly went back to the living room to get his mobile phone. He walked to the entrance to change his shoes. After changing his shoes, he remembered that there was still soup simmering on the stove, so he went back and turned off the heat.
…
Meanwhile, downstairs.
Pei Shanshan and Zhong Wenbo came back from dinner.
Pei Shanshan stopped: "Then I'll go up first."
"Shanshan."
Zhong Wenbo stopped her and said with a smile, "I've sent you back so many times, why don't you invite me to come up and sit down?"
Hearing this, Pei Shanshan was startled, probably confused by what he said.
Zhong Wenbo probably saw that she was not willing, so he added: "Then let's do it next time, so you can be mentally prepared."
Pei Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."
Fortunately, Zhong Wenbo gave her a step up, otherwise she really wouldn't know how to answer.
Pei Shanshan waved to him: "Then...see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
Pei Shanshan smiled slightly, turned and left.
What she didn't expect was that as soon as she took two steps, someone grabbed her wrist.
The next second, he was hugged into someone's arms.
Before she could react, Zhong Wenbo's voice rang in her ears: "I think we should have made some progress. Can you accept this level?"
Pei Shanshan subconsciously wanted to push him away, but when she heard what he said, she lowered her raised hand.
They are boyfriend and girlfriend, and this progress seems to be natural...
However, at this moment, Zhong Wenbo was suddenly pulled away by someone, and then he was punched in the face.
Zhong Wenbo covered his face and took several steps back.
Pei Shanshan exclaimed and quickly stopped the man who was about to step forward.
Before she could speak, Daniel grabbed her, pulled her behind him, and whispered to her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Pei Shanshan was pulled and pulled by him, and she became even more confused. She was still in a trance for a while.
Fortunately, after seeing the injured Zhong Wenbo, she quickly reacted, shook off Daniel's hand, ran over to support Zhong Wenbo, frowned and said, "Are you okay?"
Zhong Wenbo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Daniel, and then looked at Pei Shanshan: "Is he your friend?
He seems to have misunderstood something."
Pei Shanshan took a breath: "Sorry..."
"It's okay. I was abrupt today. I shouldn't have done such a thing without asking for your opinion."
Daniel takes a step forward: "Shanshan..."
Pei Shanshan turned her head and said calmly: "You are back."
Daniel's lips moved slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Pei Shanshan continued: "Let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Zhong Wenbo.
I don’t know if you misunderstood something, but you hit someone and you have to apologize."
Daniel frowned and said word by word: "Boyfriend?"
His already pale face looked even more sickly under the dim light of the street lights.
As he spoke, his physical strength seemed to reach its limit and he shook a little.
When Pei Shanshan saw this, she subconsciously wanted to reach out to help him, but Zhong Wenbo took his hand. He stretched out his other hand to Daniel: "This is the first time we meet, hello, what do you call me?"
Daniel looked at him and said nothing.
At this time, Ruan Xingwan ran out of the apartment. Looking at this situation, he knew what had just happened without even thinking about it.
She supported Daniel and said to Zhong Wenbo: "Sorry, he just came out of the hospital and is still a little uncomfortable. I'll send him back first."
Hearing this, Zhong Wenbo took back his hand and smiled politely: "Okay."
Ruan Xingwan glanced at Pei Shanshan, who gradually came to his senses and said to Zhong Wenbo: "I'll take you to the nearby pharmacy to treat the wound."
Zhong Wenbo nodded and left with Pei Shanshan.
Daniel looked at their backs and wanted to step forward, but was held back by Ruan Xingwan.
"Just...don't go there."
Daniel turned to look at Ruan Xingwan and spoke slowly: "Shanshan just said that that was her boyfriend?"
Ruan Xingwan nodded: "I'll take you to the hospital. I'll tell you what you want to know on the way."
On the way to the hospital, Ruan Xingwan told Daniel about Pei Shanshan's miscarriage and recent events.
Ruan Xingwan thought for a while and then said: "I have told you before that you need to know clearly whether you really like Shanshan or... just because of that child."
Daniel was speechless, unable to recover from such news for a while.
Ruan Xingwan continued: "Shanshan thinks that you live together with her because of your children.
But you should know what she wants.
What she wants is a partner who can last for a long time in the future, not a relationship where she is not sure when she will break up.
Moreover, if her parents knew about it, they would not agree."
After a long while, Daniel said in a hoarse voice: "But... I didn't have the chance to explain my thoughts clearly to her.
If it was because of the scene she saw when she went to my house that day, I can explain that it was because I..."
Ruan Xingwan said: "I know, Cheng Wei also talked to Shanshan about this matter. You know, this is not the problem at all."
