Just as Rong Mo was completely confused, a girl suddenly walked into the ward.
"Hello, I'm looking for Rong Mo."
The bodyguard instinctively stopped her, but seeing her face covered in tears, he was unsure what to do.
Her body trembled uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face as if from endless sorrow and pain. The bodyguard observed her closely, trying to find some clue in her expression. Her eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness, as if searching for something. The bodyguard couldn't help but feel pity, walked to the door, and called out, "Mr. Rong, a girl says she wants to see you."
Rong Mo was deep in thought about Yan Yan's sudden disappearance from the hospital room, his heart heavy, and he had no desire to pay attention to anyone. However, the next second, the bodyguards made way, and Chu Xia walked in from the doorway, sobbing with tears streaming down her face.
"Rong Mo, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to make you angry. Please don't ignore me, okay?" After saying that, Chu Xia started to wail. Her cries were filled with sorrow and despair, as if her whole world had collapsed.
Rong Mo frowned deeply; he hadn't expected Chu Xia to come looking for him. He tried to calm himself down, but Chu Xia's crying only made him more irritated.
Lu Jia sighed slightly. He learned the general situation from Shen Zhi Qiu and knew that this girl had once been Rong Mo's weakness. However, Rong Mo understood the principle that time had passed, but Chu Xia did not.
Rong Mo frowned, took out his phone, sent a WeChat message, and then walked towards the door.
He stood at the door, looking at Chu Xia with a wronged expression, and said in a low voice, "Chu Xia, come with me."
After speaking, without waiting for Chu Xia's reply, Rong Mo turned around and nodded to Wei Qiao, signaling him to continue investigating and find out the reason for Yan Yan's disappearance, before walking towards the stairwell in the corridor.
Chu Xia followed him up. Rong Mo stood at the top of the stairs, took out a pack of cigarettes from his coat, opened it, and lit one with practiced ease.
There was a long silence.
When Rong Mo lit his third cigarette, Chu Xia said slowly, "You didn't smoke before."
Rong Mo exhaled a smoke ring and said calmly, "Yes, I didn't smoke before, but that doesn't mean I'll never smoke." His voice was deep and magnetic, yet it carried a hint of barely perceptible fatigue.
Tears welled up in Chu Xia's eyes, threatening to spill over at any moment. She choked out, "Are you trying to tell me that you used to love me, but don't anymore, right?"
Rong Mo sighed and continued, "Chu Xia, you shouldn't have come here." His eyes were filled with helplessness and reluctance. "I've told you everything I needed to say. There's no possibility of reconciliation between us. I hope you can let go of your own pain and let go of mine."
Early summer's stubbornness resurfaced. "I've already broken off my engagement with Lin Su, and I'm single now. I can be with you." Her voice carried a hint of despair and resentment.
Rong Mo gave a bitter smile and stubbed out his cigarette. He looked up at Chu Xia, whose eyes were filled with pain and confusion. "Chu Xia, do you know? I once thought we could be together forever, but reality has told me that we are destined not to be together."
"I don't care!" Chu Xia shouted excitedly, "I only care about you, I love you, that's enough."
Rong Mo gently shook his head. "Chu Xia, love isn't everything. We're both grown up now, and we should be responsible for our words and actions."
"I don't want to, Rong Mo. Please believe me, okay?" Chu Xia grabbed Rong Mo's hand, tears welling up in her eyes. Her voice trembled slightly, like a helpless leaf falling in the wind. Rong Mo's hand, however, recoiled as if burned.
“Early Summer, stop being naive. It’s over between us, and I don’t love you anymore.” Rong Mo’s voice was low and hoarse.
But Chu Xia refused to give up. She gripped Rong Mo's arm tightly, tears streaming down her face.
"Impossible! You can't have changed your mind so quickly! Rong Mo, I know you very well. Even though you said so many hurtful things to me on the beach, I know you still have feelings for me. Otherwise, look me in the eyes and tell me, I don't believe you can be so heartless as to treat me like this!" Chu Xia cried out.
Seeing her like this, Rong Mo had no choice but to let her pull him along, but his eyes became even colder. Looking into Chu Xia's eyes, he said, word by word, "Chu Xia, I've said it before, I will never be with you again. From the moment you chose to be with someone else, our relationship has lost all meaning."
Rong Mo's voice was like a sharp knife, mercilessly tearing Chu Xia's heart apart. She felt her heart shatter into countless pieces, impossible to piece back together.
"Early summer!"
Just as the two were at an impasse, Lu Wei stepped out of the elevator and called out to her. Seeing that the two seemed to be arguing, she quickly ran towards them.
“Chu Xia, go back with Lu Wei.” Rong Mo gently withdrew his arm, took a step back, and said calmly.
"Have you fallen for Lu Wei?" Chu Xia looked at Rong Mo, a terrible thought suddenly popping into her mind, and questioned Rong Mo.
Rong Mo frowned, thinking she was completely insane, and couldn't help but glance at her with some displeasure. His eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and annoyance. He didn't understand why Chu Xia would connect him with Lu Wei, when they were clearly just friends.
"Chu Xia, stop messing around. Lu Wei and I are just friends," Rong Mo tried to explain.
"Then why did you call her here?" Tears welled in Chu Xia's eyes, threatening to spill at any moment. Her heart was filled with pain and resentment. She couldn't understand why Rong Mo had suddenly become so cold. Did he really fall for Lu Wei?
“Chu Xia, don’t misunderstand. I don’t have any special feelings for Lu Wei. I just treat her as an ordinary friend,” Rong Mo explained again.
"Then why are you so close to her? Why does she always seem to see you? What's the secret between you two?" Chu Xia pressed on.
Rong Mo fell silent, unsure how to answer the question. He knew that no matter what he said, he couldn't change Chu Xia's mind. She was already lost in her own imagination, unable to extricate herself.
Just then, Lu Wei ran up to her. She stopped, panting, and said, "Chu Xia, thank goodness I found you! Are you alright? I was so worried about you!"
Lu Wei's appearance further convinced Chu Xia of her suspicions. She felt that there must be some unspeakable secret between Rong Mo and Lu Wei. She raised her head and glared fiercely at Lu Wei.
The next second, Chu Xia raised her hand and slapped Lu Wei hard across the face. The force was so great that Lu Wei's face was turned to the side.
"Tell me! Did you deliberately seduce Rong Mo?!" Chu Xia asked loudly.
