Forbidden Game: Ruthless CEO, Please Set Me Free

Chapter 385: Settle Accounts (12)

"Boohoo... Bastard..."She was still a patient, how could he just leave like that.

Qiao Mo felt utterly wronged, her face smudged with tears, completely ignoring the fact that she was the one who chased him away just now, unreasonable as she called him a bastard.

...

On the other side, after Fu Nancheng left the ward, he headed towards the elevator.

After pressing the button to go downstairs, he leaned against the wall in a daze.

Settled... everything is settled...

Just how cold-hearted must she be to suggest settling things with him?

He let out a soft laugh, and as he laughed, a thin layer of mist covered his eyes.

Could it be that all this time... she didn’t have even the slightest bit of reluctance towards him?

Ha, well.

After all, he would only end up hurting her.

Perhaps giving her what she wanted was the best choice.

Before long, a burly man in black hurried over, holding two paper bags.

"Young master, here are the Hengji crispy cookies and desserts you asked for."

Fu Nancheng slowly reached out to take them, yet found it amusing.

She hated him so much... what was he doing buying these for...

Fu Nancheng lowered his gaze, filled with a piercing pain, silently leaning against the wall, overwhelmed with loneliness and desolation.

The elevator door ’dinged’ open, and he slowly stepped inside.

But in his mind, he couldn’t help but think of her every smile and frown, that pale little face of hers...

So, from now on.

Would she no longer belong to him?

This realization turned Fu Nancheng’s face pale, his eyes, already sleepless for days, reddening further.

His hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist.

When the elevator stopped on the first floor and opened again, he still couldn’t bring himself to leave.

As if possessed, his finger pressed the button again, the elevator door closed once more, and the red numbers above slowly changed, increasing bit by bit.

She was so badly hurt, what if she felt uncomfortable?

Without him there, what if she couldn’t take care of herself...

What if being so picky, she couldn’t get used to it there.

He just wanted... to see her again...

Just one more look at her... and then he would leave.

With these thoughts, he unconsciously found himself once more in front of the ward.

Through the transparent glass window, his gaze landed on the small figure on the bed, but he couldn’t take a step forward...

Was she... crying?

Wasn’t she supposed to be happy, why was she crying so sadly?

...

At this moment, Qiao Mo was hugging her knees, crying until she became a teary mess.

Her head buried in her knees, her crying becoming increasingly fierce...

He really left... he really just abandoned her and left!

Bastard!

Bastard!

Annoying guy...

She hated him, never wanting to see him again...

"Boohoo..."

Tears blurred her eyes, making her a bit dizzy from crying.

Just then, a deep voice sounded beside her: "Didn’t you hate me? Why are you crying so sadly..."

Qiao Mo froze slightly, almost doubting her ears.

She slowly lifted her head from her knees, her face stained with tears, staring blankly into his dark eyes.

"Hm?" he gently asked, his gaze softening as it fell on her tear-streaked face.

Qiao Mo stared at him dazedly, her eyes watery and pitiful.

He placed the pastries on the bedside table, his thumb gently wiping away the tears on her face, and softly said, "Your eyes are swollen from crying."

Qiao Mo just stared blankly, still feeling like she was dreaming.

Hadn’t he... already left?

How could he have come back...

A hint of joy arose in her heart, as if the earlier pain had instantly been healed, yet tears welled up again, pouring down as she felt inexplicably wronged.
