Priceless New Bride: Accidentally Offending The Dangerous CEO - Chapter 327

Chapter 327: Rong Yan Isn’t Here, You Can Stop Pretending

“Thank you for saving me,” said Luo Anning who kept her guard up despite feeling grateful.

Having been through so much, she realized that there was barely anyone she could trust. Apart from Lu Momo and Mo Qiange, the only ones she could truly trust were Du Xiaoran and Kristen.

Du Xiaoran was special and used to be in a sentimental and serious relationship with her. Even though she no longer loved him, she still trusted him.

Kristen was the one who saved her when she felt helpless and hopeless. Although his mysteriousness was a little strange, he had never hurt her before.

All he did to make her repay him for his kindness, was ask her to cook for him.

Had Kristen not informed her about Rong Yan and Mo Xiyan, she would not have found out about it so quickly.

She probably wouldn’t even know that she had such a strong rival.

“You don’t have to thank me. I saved you only because you’re Yan’s wife,” Mo Xiyan said with a wry smile while staring at her right hand.

“I know.” Luo Anning took a seat on the couch and casually picked up an apple. “Would you like to have some?”

“I’ll pass.”

Luo Anning smiled nonchalantly and took a bite out of the apple while staring at Mo Xiyan coldly. She then said austerely, “It’s just the two of us now. Why don’t we come clean and have an honest talk?”

Mo Xiyan glanced at her for a long time, seemingly trying to scrutinise and deduce the true meaning of her words.

Luo Anning remained seated quietly while the crisp sounds of her chewing on the crunchy apple filled the air in the ward. She was not in a hurry and waited patiently for Mo Xiyan to start.

After a long while, Mo Xiyan glanced at her and asked uncertainly, “What exactly do you mean?”

“How would you not know what I mean?” Luo Anning sneered with a sarcastic smile. She then tossed the apple into the rubbish bin.

Luo Anning wiped her hands with some tissues and said nonchalantly, “Let’s stop beating around the bush. Rong Yan isn’t here so you can stop pretending too.”

“Pretending? May I ask, how have I been pretending?” Mo Xiyan questioned coldly.

“Are you trying to tell me that you don’t love Rong Yan anymore? Aren’t

you giving up everything and swallowing your pride to be ordinary friends with him, just because you want to get closer to him?”

Luo Anning then burst into laughter and gibed, “Quit joking and stop underestimating my intelligence. Frankly speaking, I’m really thankful for the fact that you saved me this time but that doesn’t mean that I’ll allow you to get closer to Rong Yan just because you’ve done me a favor.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Mo Xiyan said coldly, staring at her sternly like she was warning her.

She was completely different from her cool and collected self when she was lying in Rong Yan’s arms.

Luo Anning suddenly felt a sense of admiration towards Mo Xiyan, she truly deserves an Oscar award for best actress.

“Mo Xiyan, are you sure you want to continue pretending? If that’s the case, there’s no point in our conversation today.” Luo Anning stood up in frustration and proceeded to pour herself some water.

“I’m a patient. If there’s nothing else, please leave. I need to get some rest,” Mo Xiyan said, after which she clumsily laid back down on the bed.

Luo Anning put down her glass of water and walked towards the bed to ease her into a comfortable position. She then said nonchalantly, “Since you’re not willing to talk about it, forget it then. I have plenty of time to play with you anyway.”

Perhaps because of how overbearing Luo Anning was, Mo Xiyan lost her temper and flailed her left arm to push her away.
