Chapter 77: Arlo's Confession
Ah Ke didn't speak, and let go of the hand that was holding Arlo.
"I asked you what you went to do last night, and you said that you were afraid that I would regret it if I knew, and I couldn't figure out why I regretted it, and now that I know, I regret it, I regret why I want to know, if... If I could figure out a way, none of this would have happened," Arlo said bitterly, clutching his chest.
"It's too late to say this now, everything that should have happened has already happened" Ke's emotions calmed down, listening to Arlo's words, she only felt that it was too late.
"I... I'm sorry," Arlo hung his head, like a child making a mistake.
"It's not about you"
"Let's stop saying that, okay?" Ake pleaded, and every time she said it, she felt like she had cut a wound in her heart.
Seeing that Ah Ke didn't want to mention it, he didn't talk about it again, and then Ah Ke asked, "Didn't you go to the company?" How did you come back so soon? ”
"I called Shen Nan and asked him to deal with it"
"Oh" Ah Ke nodded and asked again, "How do you know that I was with Lin Shao yesterday?" ”
Ah Luo felt that he couldn't sell Mo Xiaobei, so he said, "I just guessed."
"You would have asked me then, but you can guess it now?" Ke's words were full of disbelief.
Arlo was suddenly unable to answer.
Seeing this, Ah Ke didn't ask anything more, she thought that there were only a few people who knew about this matter anyway, Lin Chao, Mo Xiaobei, Lin Chuyou and herself.
She didn't say it, Lin Chuyou shouldn't have said it either, if she did, then Ah Luo knew it in the hospital last night, and she wouldn't question her now.
So only Lin Chao and Mo Xiaobei are left, and if Lin Chao says it, he shouldn't say it, because if he said it, Ah Luo wouldn't come here to question her, but went directly to Lin Chao.
That means that Mo Xiaobei said it, why did she say it?
Ah Ke suddenly felt a little worried about what Mo Xiaobei did this time, she obviously helped her, but she did this to her.
She was thinking about this series of things, when suddenly the phone rang interrupted her, and she looked at the caller ID, it was Mo Xiaobei.
"Hey, sister-in-law" Ah Ke spoke in a very bad tone, but still politely called her sister-in-law.
Hearing Ah Ke shouting this sister-in-law, Ah Luo's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he was secretly glad in his heart, hoping not to say that he had missed it, hopefully...
"Ke, you called me? What's wrong? Something? Mo Xiaobei looked at her phone just now and saw that Ake had called her, she was afraid that something would happen, so she called back and asked.
"No, I'm asking why you didn't come to the hospital this morning?" Ke looked at Arlo as he spoke.
Seeing that he kept his head down, she guessed that she just wanted to ask Mo Xiaobei, but heard Mo Xiaobei say: "I didn't go this morning because I wasn't feeling well."
"Are you feeling better now?"
"Well, it's okay already, by the way, Ake, I heard that you haven't been to the hospital since last night, where have you been? Ah Luo is crazy looking for you, you found me here just now" Mo Xiaobei chatted and suddenly remembered that Ah Luo came to her, she almost forgot.
But as soon as the words came out, she remembered Arlo's instructions, and he said that she didn't need to call Ake.
The phone had already been called, and the words were spoken, but Mo Xiaobei couldn't care about it.
"I didn't go anywhere, didn't I promise to go to dinner with Lin Shao, and then the phone ran out of battery," Ake explained.
"Oh, that's okay, you can call Ah Luo, so that he won't be in a hurry" Mo Xiaobei reminded, anyway, the words were spoken, and she didn't care about anyone's instructions, as long as they were fine.
"Well, okay, that's nothing, sister-in-law, I'll hang up first"
"Well, bye-bye"
After speaking, Ah Ke hung up the phone, and kept looking at Ah Luo with his head down, "Why lie to me?" ”
"I... I didn't mean to, I just cared about you too much, so..."As soon as Ah Luo heard it, he knew that Mo Xiaobei had told Ah Ke everything.
"Concerned too much about me? Who do you think you are? I've reminded you that it's better not to know, or you'll regret it, why would you do it? Why? Ake cried as he beat his hand on Arlo's chest.
Arlo didn't say anything, just hugged her in his arms forcefully, and said cautiously: "I'm sorry."
Ah Ke didn't answer anything, she kept crying, she didn't care what others thought of her, she cared what Arlo thought of her, she tried her best to hide the hurt she had suffered, but he still found out.
When she was tired of crying, Arlo let go of her, took a tissue from the car and said, "Wipe it, don't cry, your eyes will be swollen if you cry again."
"I'll just cry, anyway, the old lady has good looks, what's the swelling" Ah Ke's voice was hoarse after crying.
"But don't you love beauty the most? It's not beautiful to cry anymore," Arlo said, rubbing her hair dotingly.
"You've made it beautiful, huh," Ke said, glancing to the side.
"Okay, okay, I got it, that's... Can you forgive me? Arlo asked tentatively.
"Look at your performance," Ke said proudly, and walked towards the hospital.
"Hey, why are you going?" Alor grabbed her arm.
"Go to touch up your makeup, otherwise you'll really get ugly" Ah Ke's makeup touch-ups are all in the ward where Mu Chenfeng is.
"It's okay, I don't dislike it," Arlo said sincerely, as if he was afraid that Ake would not believe it, so he repeated again, "No matter what you become, I don't dislike it."
"Are you confessing to me? Don't be kidding, I'll take it seriously," Ke joked, but in his heart he hoped it was true.
She never hoped to find a handsome and golden man like Lin Chao, but hoped to find a down-to-earth and hard-working person, he didn't need to be handsome, but he would be very good to her.
She knew that Arlo was good to her, but she didn't know if it was a habit since she was a child, or if he was really interested in her.
She remembered that the last time there was a ghost in the company, a friend happened to call her, and at that time Arlo kept asking her who was calling, she felt that Arlo was interesting to her, and she always felt that a woman's sixth sense could not be wrong.
But so many things have happened in the middle, but Arlo has never expressed his intentions, and now he has suddenly expressed his intentions, should she believe it?
He wouldn't be pitying her, wouldn't he be comforting her like this because she was hurt, and if so, then forget it.
She doesn't need pity, she doesn't need pity, her feelings just want to be equal.
"Well, what do you want?" Arlo looked at her with a pensive expression.
"Huh? It's nothing," Ake said.
At this time, Ah Luo suddenly took her hand and said with a look on his face: "I'm not joking, I know that you reacted so much just now because you were afraid that I would look down on you, Ah Ke, I didn't look down on you, in my heart, you are still the way I have known you since I was a child, I said that I don't dislike you really, no matter what you become, I will not dislike you."
"Is this a confession?" Ake asked.
"Sort of"
"But why me?"
"I don't know, when my sister-in-law had an accident, Lin Shao, you and I, the boss were all in the hospital, and I felt that Lin Shao was treating you..., I had an indescribable feeling in my heart, and once a strange man called you, I... Anyway, I'm just not happy that other men are worried about you," Arlo became more and more unhappy the more he spoke, as if his things had suddenly been taken away by someone else.
"Flutter," Ah Ke laughed when he heard Arlo's words.
"Laughing at what? The friend you promised me to meet, I haven't seen you yet," Arlo said, suddenly remembering.
"Okay, I'll take you to see me tomorrow, if you don't say it, I'll almost forget" Ah Ke coaxed Ah Luo like a child.
Recently, there have been too many things, and if Arlo didn't talk about that friend, she would have almost forgotten that there was such a person, but since he brought it up, then she would satisfy his curiosity.
"You forgot, I haven't forgotten, I don't want other men to worry about you," Arlo's hand holding Ake's body clenched tighter.
Ke didn't speak, but a smile spread across her lips, and she stretched out her hands to hug Arlo.
Although Arlo's confession just now didn't have very beautiful language, she liked to listen to it, although she knew that he might be used to her being around, rather than really liking her, but she still wanted to give it a try, and she also wanted to taste what it was like to love someone.
She believes that there will always be love over time, she will wait for Arlo to truly fall in love with her, and she also believes that one day she will be able to accept Arlo's love completely.
In fact, now she feels guilty about Ah Luo, after all, she just had a relationship with Lin Chao...
The two hugged for a while, and Ah Ke suddenly said, "You should go back early."
"No hurry, I'll stay with you for a while"
"No, you haven't had a good rest for two days in a row, and your body can't bear it," Ake said with concern.
"What about you, I didn't want you to be here alone, girls will be easy to age if they stay up late," Ah Luo said as he scratched Ke's nose.
"Hmph, you're aging, don't you want it?" Ke asked, feigning anger.
"No, how could it be? Am I that kind of person? Arlo let go of her and said with a serious face.
Ah Ke smiled and said: "Tease you, I know you care about me, but I also care about you, you always stay up late and your body will not be able to bear it, besides, the boss trusts us the most, shouldn't we take care of his safety more at this time?" ”
Arlo nodded, but he felt sorry for her, and his eyes were full of pity when he looked at her.
"Okay, I won't tell you, you can go back quickly" Ah Ke began to urge him to hurry up.
"Okay, okay, I'll go back, this time the light will urge me to go"
“(⊙o⊙)… The main thing is that it's too late."
"Okay, I don't need to explain, I understand"
After saying that, Ah Luo drove away, and Ah Ke walked in the direction of the ward alone, and the nurse who wiped Mu Chenfeng's body had already left.
Looking at Mu Chenfeng on the hospital bed, she went over to cover him with a quilt, then sat on the chair next to her, sighed and said, "Boss, you have been sleeping for a long time, haven't you slept enough?" Did you know that many people are worried about you, including your sister-in-law... She's not gone, she's not leaving, she's waiting for you to wake up."
"Big brother, do you know how much Ah Luo and I used to envy you and your sister-in-law? Didn't you say you loved her the most? Then you get up and give her happiness, if you don't give her happiness, she will really have to leave, are you really so willing? ”
Ake never understood what was going on between the boss and Xiaobei, and he could make the relationship between the two say that they would give up.
"That woman is still waiting for you stupidly, can you really bear to let her hopes be disappointed?" Obviously, he was very concerned about what Mo Xiaobei told Ah Luo, but Ah Ke couldn't help but say all kinds of good things for her.
Ah Ke couldn't stop crying as she spoke, she didn't know what was going on today, she didn't see that she would talk so much to the boss in normal times, but today she couldn't control her emotions.
Seeing that Mu Chenfeng was still motionless, Ah Ke didn't want to say anything, so she got up and walked outside, she didn't see a trace of movement in Mu Chenfeng's fingers.
