Kangkang was very anxious when he found out that his mom had been in a car accident, constantly asking her if it was painful or if she felt uncomfortable.
Seeing how concerned her child was, An Ruo felt very comforted. She smiled and said everything was okay and told him not to worry.
Despite this, for two consecutive days, he kept a close watch on her, fearing that she might feel unwell.
Two days later, Tang Yuchen had her car returned to her as well. After repairs, the car looked as good as new, without a scratch on it.

Mo Hua made a phone call to An Ruo, hoping she could help him with a favor.
Over the past two years, she had kept in touch with Mo Hua quite often, and he had helped her a lot, so they had long since become good friends.
An Ruo cheerfully agreed and arrived at the restaurant he’d mentioned on time.
Mo Hua was standing at the entrance. When he saw her, he waved with a smile. An Ruo walked over and asked with a laugh, "Tell me, what is it that you need me for exactly?"
The man grinned and said, "You can’t say no to helping me once you find out."
"What are you talking about? What’s our relationship like, how could I possibly not help you?"
"Actually, it’s nothing serious, just that my family introduced me to a girlfriend, but I’m not planning on getting married just yet, so..."
An Ruo understood what he meant at that point.
"So you want me to pretend to be your girlfriend?"
"You are so smart," he said.
An Ruo was speechless for a moment and said with amusement, "Honestly speaking, you’re almost thirty, right? Why aren’t you considering marriage yet? If she’s the right one, you might as well settle down."
Mo Hua looked at her with a profound gaze and smiled, "It’s not that I don’t want to get married; it’s just that I have someone in my heart, but for now, she doesn’t like me."
"So you have someone you like," An Ruo exclaimed with delight, "then hurry up and win her over, marry her as soon as possible."
"Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking too. But for now, you still have to help me get through this. I need to let my family know I have a girlfriend, otherwise, they’ll keep trying to set me up with more people."
An Ruo hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Mo Hua happily took her hand and led her into the restaurant. Holding her hand felt strange to him.
But since she had already agreed to pretend to be his girlfriend, holding hands seemed normal enough. Thinking this, she felt much more at ease.
Mo Hua brought her to a table where a girl sat, looking quite delicate and pretty.
When she saw them holding hands as they came in, her expression twisted slightly.
Mo Hua offered an apologetic smile and said, "You must be Miss Li, hello, I’m Mo Hua. I’m very sorry, my family didn’t understand the situation properly and set me up with a date prematurely, when in fact, I already have a girlfriend. Today, I came specially to apologize to you and hope you’re not upset."
His words were full of apologies, but An Ruo noticed that his eyes didn’t really look that sorry.
Miss Li did not expect him to say this as soon as he opened his mouth. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly regained her composure.
"Aunt Mo told me that you don’t really have a girlfriend. If you bring a girl to meet me, then that must be fake too," she retorted.
An Ruo couldn’t help but laugh.
It seemed that Mo Hua’s mother knew him very well.
With a smile in the corner of his mouth and an unfazed look, Mo Hua said, "Miss Li, she truly is my girlfriend, it’s just that I haven’t introduced her to my parents yet."
Miss Li was a bit displeased, "Mr. Mo, if you don’t like me, you can just say so directly; there’s no need to bring someone to pretend to be your girlfriend."
