After being reborn as a passerby, the fake daughter only wants to play badly

Xia Ruoyan looked at Shen Anran quietly, her eyes seemed to be asking silently: "Can I trust you?"

Shen Anran sensed Xia Ruoyan's doubts and continued to fan the flames: "Sister Xia, why don't you give it a try? Is there any worse situation than now?"

After saying this, Shen Anran turned and walked into the dessert shop.

She was worried that she would be mad to death if she stayed here any longer.

As for the future of Xia Ruoyan and Tang Zichen, it was beyond her control.

Even if Xia Ruoyan chose not to pursue the truth today, the seed of doubt had already been quietly planted, waiting for the right time to take root and sprout.

Whether they can avoid a tragic end depends entirely on their own luck.

Moreover, her own fate as cannon fodder has not changed.

Xia Ruoyan stood there in a daze, her mind blank.

Could she be the one Tang Zichen likes?

His indifference towards her was so obvious that sometimes he was even reluctant to say a word to her.

Perhaps all this was just a joke from Miss Shen.

How could she possibly be so lucky that the person she liked also happened to like her? It was just her wishful thinking.

After a while, a luxury car stopped smoothly by the roadside. The door opened and a man in black said respectfully, "Madam, please get in."

Xia Ruoyan got into the car silently, her eyes fixed outside the window, as if she was thinking about something.

When the car reached a fork in the road, she suddenly said, "Go to Research Institute A."

The driver didn't ask the reason, but simply responded, then skillfully adjusted the direction and drove towards Institute A.

Xia Ruoyan's face was pale, without a trace of blood.

Her mood was very heavy at the moment, and she sighed softly, as if saying to herself: Let's try one last time.

Shen Anran's words echoed in her mind. Yes, could the situation be worse than now?

The answer is obviously no.

The architectural style of Research A is modern and simple, with white and gray tones used throughout, which makes it look clean and neat without losing the sense of technology.

The front door is spacious and imposing, with a silver institute logo hanging above the door, shining brightly in the sun.

As soon as Xia Ruoyan got out of the car, she walked towards the gate, but was stopped by two staff members.

The other party politely reminded: "I'm sorry, non-related personnel are not allowed to enter."

"I would like to ask if Mr. Tang Zichen works here?"

The staff member's eyes suddenly became serious. "Sorry, this is internal information and cannot be disclosed."

Xia Ruoyan did not insist any longer. She walked aside silently, without showing much emotion on her face.

Seeing this, the driver frowned slightly, walked to her side, and reminded her softly: "Madam, let's go back."

"Will he work here?" It seems like he is asking the driver, but in fact it is more like a conversation with himself.

The driver politely replied, "Sorry, I don't know."

Xia Ruoyan did not ask any further questions. She just stood there quietly, staring at the door, as if expecting a familiar figure to appear.

An hour passed, and many fine beads of sweat appeared on Xia Ruoyan's forehead.

Although it was autumn and there was even a hint of chill in the air, her heart felt as if it was being scorched by the scorching sun and she was extremely irritable.

Suddenly, the door of the institute opened and a figure walked out.

Xia Ruoyan didn't hesitate. She strode up to him with a hint of urgency in her voice, and called out to him, "Xiaocheng."

The man called Xiaocheng heard the voice, turned around, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He walked quickly towards Xia Ruoyan and said respectfully, "Madam, why are you here?"

Xia Ruoyan asked directly: "Is Zichen here?"

Xiao Cheng hesitated for a moment, his expression looking somewhat embarrassed, "This..."

He obviously knew something, but was reluctant to tell Xia Ruoyan the truth.

"Madam, you'd better go back first. You are not in good health." Xiaocheng tried to persuade Xia Ruoyan to leave under the pretext of caring about her health.

Xia Ruoyan frowned, she could feel Xiaocheng's avoidance.

Xiaocheng is Tang Zichen's assistant. He knows all of Tang Zichen's schedules. His appearance almost confirms that Tang Zichen is here.

Xia Ruoyan then asked, "He works here when he's not at home, right?"

Xiao Cheng realized that it was pointless to hide it any longer, so he spoke more frankly, while reminding her, "Madam, please keep it a secret."

Xia Ruoyan then asked: "Is he busy now? Can you tell him that I'm waiting for him here?"

Faced with Xia Ruoyan's eyes that were full of expectation and a hint of pleading, Xiaocheng's heart softened.

He nodded and promised her: "Okay, ma'am, I'll go inform the gentleman right away."

After saying that, Xiaocheng turned around and strode into the research institute, leaving Xia Ruoyan waiting outside.

She had mixed feelings. She hoped Tang Zichen would come out to see her, but she was also afraid of facing possible indifference or rejection.

After a while, Tang Zichen appeared at the door and walked out with big strides.

Seeing the beads of sweat on Xia Ruoyan's forehead, his face instantly darkened, obviously worried about her physical condition.

Taking the tissue handed to him by Xiaocheng, Tang Zichen walked to Xia Ruoyan and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.

At the same time, his tone was full of blame: "What are you doing here? Do you want to send yourself to the hospital again?"

Although his words sounded like a scolding, they revealed concern and worry that was hard to conceal.

Xia Ruoyan's eyes flushed and tears fell uncontrollably.

It was the first time that Tang Zichen saw Xia Ruoyan crying like this. His heart suddenly tightened and he was at a loss.

He hurriedly asked, "Don't cry, who bullied you?"

Xia Ruoyan's emotions collapsed at this moment. She hugged Tang Zichen and asked with a choked voice: "Tang Zichen, they all say that you have a white moonlight. Can you tell me who she is?"

Tang Zichen's body stiffened instantly. He didn't answer, but asked her instead: "What about you? Who is the person you have always liked?"

Xia Ruoyan's voice was filled with grievance: "The person I have always liked is you, but you don't like me."

When Tang Zichen heard this, he was so shocked and anxious that he almost immediately retorted: "Who said I don't like you? There is no such thing as a white moonlight. The person in my heart has always been you."

At this moment, they finally understood each other's feelings.

It was all a misunderstanding. They liked each other, but they thought there was a white moonlight in the other's heart and did not dare to get close.

Xia Ruoyan secretly felt fortunate that she chose to believe Shen Anran.

Otherwise, it will be a regret in her life.

The two hugged each other tightly, and their fate changed at this moment, heading towards another fork in the road.
