After hanging up the phone, the tightly wound string in Chi Huan's body finally slackened a bit.
She had actually been prepared to be abandoned by the company; it wasn't that her current situation was difficult to salvage, but the Mou Family would surely pressure her economic company or use threats and inducements. Given her father's current situation, weighing the pros and cons, giving up on her wasn't a hard choice to understand.
As long as the company didn't abandon her, she still had a chance.
Ning Youran stayed with her until the evening, not leaving until they had finished dinner.
...
That night, Chi Huan slept alone on the spacious double bed, tossing and turning restlessly in the darkness with her eyes closed.
She had taken many years to get used to the curve of sleeping alone.
And then he insisted on moving in to live with her.
So she began to get accustomed to the feeling of having someone beside her again.
But before she could get used to it, she was alone again.
