Chapter 686: Chapter 686: Can You Stay and Take Care of Me?

Of course, it was just pure concern, with no other intentions.

The man’s eyes, dark as black jade, stared at her, shimmering with a beautiful luster. An Ruo felt very embarrassed under his gaze, so she turned her face away to avoid eye contact.

"Can you forgive Xiao Ji?" she asked him again.

"Well..." Tang Yuchen deliberately drew out his tone, leaving her heart hanging in suspense.

He paused, then suddenly asked her, "If it weren’t him who hurt me, but someone else, would you still come to see me?"

An Ruo looked at him in surprise, and as he stared deeply back into her eyes, her heartbeat quickened instantly.

She really hated it when he did this.

There was clearly no relationship between them anymore, it was over, yet why did he always refuse to let her go, always disturbing her peace of mind?

Did he think that after he married Lan Keren, they could still continue to develop any sort of relationship?

Did he want her to be his secret lover?

An Ruo pursed her lips and said softly but firmly, "Tang Yuchen, I came here today to talk about Xiao Ji and you, not about you and me."

"Your answer will determine how I deal with An Ji," he said with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of implication.

She understood what he meant, but the answer he was waiting for, she couldn’t say it.

"I ask you one more time, I hope you won’t pursue Xiao Ji’s responsibility. Fair is fair, and you agreed with him earlier that if you lost, he could do as he pleased."

"Mm, I did agree, but that was my promise; it doesn’t mean other people won’t pursue his responsibility, does it?"

"What do you mean?" An Ruo asked, stunned.

Just then, a bodyguard knocked on the door and entered, respectfully saying to Tang Yuchen, "BOSS, the police are here."

An Ruo froze, her complexion turning slightly pale in an instant.

She clenched her fists tightly, feeling very panicked and afraid, worrying what would happen if the police knew it was Xiao Ji who had shot Tang Yuchen.

Would he go to jail?

No, she didn’t want such a thing to happen!

Tang Yuchen glanced at her, and with a subdued tone, he said, "Let them in."

"Yes."

"Tang Yuchen..."

"I won’t be able to move easily these next few days, can you stay and take care of me?" he interrupted her, asking abruptly.

An Ruo was a bit slow to follow his rapid train of thought, but she quickly grasped his meaning.

Was he implying that if she agreed to his request, he wouldn’t pursue anything?

She opened her mouth to respond, but before she could, two uniformed police officers entered.

"An Ruo, what are you doing here?" The first officer to enter was none other than Mo Hua.

He looked at her, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes. His gaze shifted between her and Tang Yuchen, growing more complex.

Tang Yuchen didn’t look at them; he just kept his eyes on An Ruo, waiting for her answer.

An Ruo got up uneasily, feeling guilty.

"I... I heard he was injured, so I came to see him. What are you here for?" she asked naively.

Mo Hua smiled and said, "We’re here on official business."

Perhaps because he was on duty, he didn’t talk much, but looked directly at Tang Yuchen and said calmly, "Mr. Tang, we received a report from the hospital that you were shot last night, is that correct?"

An Ruo didn’t know whether to sit or stand. Her heartbeat was very fast, and she was very worried that Tang Yuchen would tell them everything.

"Yes, that’s right," Tang Yuchen nodded, making no denial.

Mo Hua’s colleague began to take notes as he continued to inquire.
