Chapter 644: I Don’t Need You to Be Responsible for It (4)

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.
