Cheating Marriage - C172

Du Lirong no longer spoke. She just drank her wine silently, and after being silent for a while, she said, “Maybe I shouldn’t have married your father back then. Maybe I shouldn’t have married.”

I know that Cheng Ruojun is not in a good mood right now, but actually, on the way back to’s room, I was feeling very apprehensive. I was worried that he would hit me, just like every time before.

I glanced at him. He had one hand on the arm of the sofa, and the other was rubbing his temples. He looked tired.

I sat on the carpet and put my hand on his leg and looked up at him and he looked at me and I saw weakness in his eyes.

“Don’t look at me.” He pushed my hand as he spoke, as if he didn’t want me to come near him, but this time he didn’t hit me hard enough, and I felt a little bit of courage in my heart.

I smiled and said, “Ruo, I know you’re upset. I don’t want to leave you.”

Cheng Ruojun didn’t seem to think that I would actually say such a thing, he looked at me, although previously when I said such a thing, he would immediately hit me, or do something else that would be difficult to accept, but now he doesn’t.

He just looked at me, and I looked at him, and I tried to be sincere.

Finally, Cheng Ruojun hugged me. His eyes were buried on my shoulder, looking very weak like this.

“Do you love me?” Cheng Ruojun suddenly asked, his voice was light, as though he would disappear if the wind blew.

“I love you.” I hugged him back.

“Would you love me if I had nothing?” Cheng Ruojun asked again. Looking at him like this, he reminded me of that night, in his heart, no matter how strong he looked, he was actually hoping to obtain the recognition of his parents. Whether it was Cheng Ruixuan or Du Lirong, they only saw Cheng Ruojun as a perfect tool.

I feel sorry for Cheng Ruojun, because compared to the direct conflict between me and my parents, he is more secretive and tangled, and hard to escape from.

“Of course I’ll love you.” I’ll leave you at once, that’s what I mean.

“Alright.” Cheng Ruojun said, “I’ll remember it.”

Cheng Ruojun hugged me from behind. He was still curled up like before, and his entire body was curled up like a baby in his mother’s stomach. I understood that he was extremely insecure.

I closed my eyes and started to carefully think about what this would give me. I also tried to think of a way to make Du Lirong unable to turn over her body forever.

When I opened my eyes, Cheng Ruojun was already asleep. I turned my head to look at him and frowned.

He was fast asleep, and I watched the shadows of the sky against the curtains brighten.

At last he opened his eyes and looked at me with a clarity I had never seen before, and for a moment I thought I saw him as a boy, but then he returned to normal.

he asked me. “What’s the matter?” His tone was a bit bad.

My heart immediately tensed up, and I whispered, “Ruo, I. I just wanted to see you. ”

Cheng Ruojun stared at me, as though he was checking if I was speaking the truth.

Finally, Cheng Ruojun hugged me, and just like yesterday, he buried his head in my shoulder.

He might have had a chance to become a normal person.

But right here, I suddenly heard Cheng Ruojun’s phone ring.

Cheng Ruojun released me, and then he picked up the phone that was placed beside the bed. When he saw the name on it, he frowned.

“Who is it?” I asked.

Cheng Ruojun looked at me, then picked up the phone, “Tao Man, what’s wrong?” His tone was extremely cold, completely different from the attitude he had towards Tao Man before.

I know where he started to change. I want to know if Tao Man knew that a girl like her should have had a better life.

“You said something about the company?” Cheng Ruojun’s tone was not good, as though Tao Man had disturbed him.

I couldn’t hear what Tao Man was saying over the phone, I could only hear him say, “Talk about the company.” Then he hung up.

I looked at him with some confusion.

“What’s the matter with you?” Cheng Ruojun asked me. His tone wasn’t so good, he didn’t seem to like me looking at him like that.

“Don’t you like Tao Man?” I asked after a moment’s hesitation, not knowing if I could ask that question.

Cheng Ruojun looked at me. At the beginning, his eyes were really scary, but he gradually calmed down. He asked me, “Who said that I like her?”

I didn’t dare speak again.

After Cheng Ruojun and I organized ourselves, we went down to eat. We cannot oversleep here, because whether it be Du Lirong or Cheng Ruixuan, they are both used to waking up early.

Once again, we sat at the dining table. Xia Ze and Cheng Ruixuan were already there, they looked very close, and at the same time, surprised me when Xia Ze was sitting at Cheng Ruojun’s seat.

Cheng Ruojun was walking in front of me. He had seen this scene before me, but I noticed that his expression didn’t change at all.

Xia Ze actually wanted to stand up, but Cheng Ruixuan kept on pulling him to talk. I know that Cheng Ruixuan tacitly allowed this.

I also understood that it was just a question of seats, but not in such a large family.

Du Lirong came back a little later. She seemed to have put on makeup, but even her makeup could not cover her slightly swollen eyes. Maybe she had cried yesterday.

Du Lirong didn’t pay attention to Cheng Ruixuan as she walked straight to her seat, until she saw Cheng Ruojun sitting in a position that didn’t belong to him.

She stopped, but immediately regained her composure.

I lowered my head, I know how much Du Lirong wants Cheng Ruojun to be his successor, but unfortunately …

I saw a trace of hatred flash past Du Lirong’s eyes.
