After a tense standoff of about ten seconds, Mo Shiqian let go of her arm and took her hand instead. He managed to suppress his emotions, acquiesced to her wish, his voice low and tight, "Fine, let's pay first, then go get something to eat."
When they went to pay and complete the procedures, he ignored the card she passed to him and took out his own to swipe.
Chi Huan didn't say anything, simply taking her card back.
After the procedures were finished, An Ke, who had been instructed by Mo Shiqian over the phone, arrived with Chi Huan's clothes.
He took off the coat from her body, then bent down to carefully dress her in the clean clothes and scarf, folding the ones she had been wearing before placing them neatly into a bag, which he handed to An Ke.
An Ke, already aware of what had happened that morning, couldn't help but ask, "Miss Chi, why didn't you call me to pick you up?"
