CHAPTER 303: CHAPTER 316: HE CARES TOO MUCH ABOUT YOU

On the second day in the Imperial City, An Ran was feeling unwell, so Mu Xingfeng confiscated her phone to let her rest properly. It wasn’t until yesterday when they had an argument and Mu Xingfeng said he wouldn’t care about her anymore that he returned the phone to her.

"What? You’re with Instructor Mu?" The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly raised, "Oh my, I should have figured it out sooner. That day at the hotel, given the situation and such a good opportunity, hahaha... An Ran, such a big thing and you didn’t tell me? What kind of friend are you? Tell me quickly, isn’t Instructor Mu very domineering and imposing?"

Knowing that An Ran and Mu Xingfeng were together, Xiao Xiao’s previous frustration vanished and she started gossiping again.

Listening to Xiao Xiao’s mischievous laughter, An Ran knew that this girl must have all sorts of indecent thoughts in her head and said with disdain, "Xiao Xiao, can you not be so dirty-minded? There’s really nothing between me and Instructor Mu. We only stayed briefly at the hotel that day, and then Instructor Mu took me to the hospital."

"What? Took you to the hospital?" Xiao Xiao’s voice raised two more decibels, completely taken aback by this outcome.

"Yes," An Ran didn’t know how to explain it to her, so she just recounted what happened that day.

"Oh my god, Ranran, he took you home to meet his parents and you still say there’s nothing?" Xiao Xiao’s voice was still euphoric.

"I’ve already told you, I only agreed to be his nominal girlfriend to repay him by helping him shield his family." An Ran had to emphasize it again.

"An Ran, are you really that naive? Instructor Mu’s attitude towards you is so obvious, and you actually believe he’s just using you? From what you’ve said, I can definitely tell that Instructor Mu has feelings for you. And about that hotel incident, in such a situation, there are only two possibilities if Instructor Mu didn’t make a move on you. Either he doesn’t care about you, or he cares deeply for you. Clearly, it’s the latter in his case. He cares so much about you that he didn’t want to take advantage of you, and didn’t want to lose you. So, he used the excuse of two million dollars to keep you by his side."

Xiao Xiao analyzed everything for An Ran, and one has to admit, the outsider’s perspective was clear, and Xiao Xiao had completely guessed Mu Xingfeng’s motives right.

"Ranran, in my opinion, you should accept Instructor Mu. My intuition tells me that Instructor Mu is truly one of a kind, a peerless and extraordinary good man among men."

Xiao Xiao grew more excited and enthusiastic on the phone, while An Ran’s heart was boiling like hot water; was it really true? Did Instructor Mu really care about her?

Her heart couldn’t stop pounding, but then she thought of that evening and the man whose face she never clearly saw, and her heart sank into a cold abyss.

So what if Instructor Mu cared about her? Xiao Xiao was right; Instructor Mu was excellent, the most outstanding man she had ever met. But the more excellent he was, the more she felt unworthy of him. No matter what, it couldn’t change the fact that she had been raped. He deserved someone better.

It wasn’t until Xiao Xiao finished her long speech that An Ran awkwardly spoke, "Xiao Xiao, I know you mean well, but it’s really impossible between us."

"Why, Ranran?" Xiao Xiao didn’t understand, having a feeling that An Ran’s tone was strange, as if she was hiding something.

"No reason, impossible is just impossible. Alright, Xiao Xiao, let’s talk about something else. How are you? Have you decided on your major yet?"

Not wanting to continue discussing Mu Xingfeng with Xiao Xiao, An Ran changed the topic.
