Chapter 706: Chapter 706 He Worries About Xia Pu too

During this time, she also hadn’t had the chance to see Pei Yuanze.

Sometimes when she asked him out to eat, he said he was busy, which made Shao Yingying feel a sense of crisis.

She noticed that Pei Yuanze seemed to be not as enthusiastic about her anymore.

When she first returned to the country, he would meet up with her every time she reached out to him. But now, he started to refuse…

Could it be that Xia Pu had done something to him?

This made Shao Yingying very cautious, so she deliberately contacted him today, using the excuse of feeling unwell, and Pei Yuanze really showed up.

Pei Yuanze accompanied her to the hospital to get medicine and then offered to take her home.

On the way back, Shao Yingying browsed the information online and said, “Yuanze, have you seen the news online these past few days? It’s about the friend of Miss Xia we ran into at the mall last time; she got into trouble.”

Of course, Pei Yuanze knew, “Mhm, I saw it.”

The attitude of that woman at the time had left a deep impression on him, so he recognized her immediately when he saw the news.

Shao Yingying sighed, “I didn’t expect her to be that kind of woman… I mean, how could she have so little self-respect? A girl like her must have character issues, right? But Miss Xia is so naive, I’m a bit worried about her being friends with her, that she might be deceived and hurt by this Luoyun. And her befriending Miss Xia, I suspect it’s only because of her status. Yuanze, you should be careful of this woman too, I’m even more afraid she might have designs on you.”

Pei Yuanze nodded, “I understand.”

Actually, he was also worried that Xia Pu might be manipulated by this woman.

Although he had no feelings for Xia Pu, he still understood her a bit. She was very intelligent but also very naive.

Whoever she decided to trust, she would trust completely.

Now that this Luoyun had become her friend, he was worried she wouldn’t see her true character and would foolishly be taken in.

Xia Pu’s status was extraordinary, and many who sought to get close to her had ulterior motives.

This Luoyun obviously was someone who would stoop to any level for personal gain, and her approach to Xia Pu surely had a purpose!

Before long, Pei Yuanze had taken Shao Yingying home.

Shao Yingying gratefully said to him, “Yuanze, thank you for today. You know, no one actually cares about me, now only you still care about me.”

“You go rest well when you get back, and don’t think too much,” Pei Yuanze comforted her.

Shao Yingying smiled and nodded, “I will! By the way, would you like to come up for a while? You probably haven’t had dinner yet. I made some seafood dumplings that you love during the day. Why not come up and eat before you leave?”

Pei Yuanze’s gaze flickered as he said, “No need, I still have things to do, I need to hurry and handle them.”

“Is that so, then maybe next time. I’ll make them for you then, okay?” Shao Yingying gently asked him, her expression also carrying a tinge of tentative hope.

“Alright, we can talk about it next time,” Pei Yuanze reflexively nodded in agreement.

“Then it’s settled! I’ll go back now, and you drive carefully, watch out for your safety.”

“Mhm.”

Shao Yingying got out of the car, smiled, and waved at him before turning to leave.

Watching her receding figure, Pei Yuanze’s thoughts momentarily drifted back to their past when things were so simple and beautiful…

But because of him, she had been through so much hardship as an outcast abroad. Now, he had also let her down, having taken a wife.

He didn’t know if they could ever return to what they once were…

Pei Yuanze’s gaze darkened for a moment before he drove directly home…
