Cheating Marriage - C173

The meal was so quiet that only the soft sound of the servant’s footsteps and the sound of the knife and fork could be heard as he served the wine.

As soon as he finished speaking, the table became silent. Maybe everyone thought that someone would answer, but no one spoke. I felt that Cheng Ruixuan was feeling a little awkward.

Cheng Ruixuan spoke out once again, saying, “Jiang Rou, you just happened to not have a job, right? Just stay at home and watch your mother-in-law, I trust you.”

Breakfast ended in embarrassment, and I ate very little. The atmosphere was unbearable, but now it seemed that my work plan would have to be put off.

My life was always interrupted by accidents, and each of these little things was unremarkable, but as they piled up, it made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Cheng Ruojun finished his meal and went to work. The car took me home as well, and the atmosphere in the car was extremely depressing.

I peeked at him, and he leaned his arm out the window, looking a little lost.

“Stay away from my mother when you get back.” Cheng Ruojun suddenly said, his voice was cold, as though he was hiding something.

“Alright.” I nodded, no matter how dumb I was, I knew that Cheng Ruojun was thinking for me.

The current him is very different from before. I keep having the feeling that he’s suppressing something, as though he’s planning to do something big, but the current him has been stuck in a dilemma. I think that what happened with Du Lirong last night has caused him to erupt, and the current him is like a dormant volcano.

“What are you looking at me for?” Cheng Ruojun suddenly turned his head and looked at me, the coldness in his eyes had not faded yet.

I was flustered by his gaze. After a pause, I said, “I feel that you’re in a bad mood.”

Cheng Ruojun was startled, then he smiled, he extended his hand and pulled me over, and kissed my forehead, he leaned close to my ear and said softly, “Remember what you said.”

What did he say?

I love you or I’ll never leave him. No matter what, it was a lie.

When we arrived at home, Cheng Ruojun had already gone to work. I walked into the house and realized that the house had already started to tidy up. Other than the servants who were already at home, there were also the servants who came from there.

I stared at the messy house in a daze, I think that after moving to Cheng Ruojun’s house, he would not hit me, right? I can’t help but think optimistically.

Their speed was really fast. All the things they needed to take with them were immediately packed. The car was already waiting outside, so they didn’t need to bring anything.

I sat in the bedroom, now bare of furniture, and suddenly I felt lonely.

Being alive is a very meaningless thing, probably because I have never experienced the joy of living before. Although I have Xia Ze now, and he let me clearly recognize myself, I grabbed onto him as if I was trying to save my own life, but after realizing the truth, I still felt sad and empty. When I wasn’t by his side, my heart hurt because of those things, and memories of the past tormented me.

I had to be strong inside, but it was too hard.

As I was grieving, I heard a knock on the bedroom door.

Before I could say, Please come in, the door opened.

I saw someone familiar standing in front of me. He came in, but didn’t close the door. I knew there were a lot of outsiders in the house now, so he did it to avoid suspicion.

“Why did you come back?” I asked him, smiling.

Xia Ze said, “I will find some time to tidy up my room.”

“Alright.” I don’t know what to say next.

It was at this time that the wind came in, and because there were no curtains, the wind in the room was strong, blowing my hair up.

It was a long time before I heard him say, “I like you.”

I froze, then lowered my head and said, “Me too.”

Our voices were so soft that we were all afraid of being heard.

“Be careful when you go home.” He went on, and after that he went out.

I sat where I was, the wind swirling the dust on the ground. After a long silence, I finally answered, “Okay.”

Unfortunately, it was immediately blown away by the wind.

Cheng Ruojun and I moved back as fast as we could. There was no welcome party, no sumptuous dishes on the table, not even a smile.

The atmosphere of the whole family was very quiet, just like where those stories in the horror movies happened.

“I heard that your relationship with Tao Man in the company is abnormal.” Cheng Ruixuan suddenly said after dinner, his tone was subtle.

Cheng Ruojun glanced at Cheng Ruixuan and said, “Mn, I have already broken up with her.”

Cheng Ruixuan’s face revealed a strange expression, and said in the end, “Don’t learn from your mother.”

“Alright.”

Cheng Ruojun’s face was filled with contempt. He had started to look down more and more upon Cheng Ruojun and Du Lirong, because Cheng Ruixuan really did belong to that kind of love you had. I like all the shortcomings on your body, but I don’t love you.

Cheng Ruojun and I laid on the bed. I glanced at the clock on the wall, which was now at 9 o’clock. Normally, I wouldn’t sleep so early, but there really wasn’t much I could do if I didn’t sleep now.

I closed my eyes to sleep, Cheng Ruojun hugged me, his breathing was very light.

I quickly fell asleep, but Cheng Ruojun’s phone suddenly rang.

I was startled.

Cheng Ruojun was awakened as well. He looked at me for a moment, then shifted his gaze to the phone that was ringing non-stop.

His eyes were filled with coldness. He looked at his phone, and his expression subtly changed.

“Who is it?” I asked him.

He turned the phone around and showed me the name. I saw Secretary Tao.

I couldn’t help but laugh. I felt that it was very funny, no matter how Tao Man tossed and turned, his memo on Cheng Ruojun’s phone would always be Secretary Tao, I didn’t know if she herself had seen Cheng Ruojun’s note or not.

Cheng Ruojun stopped his phone and planned to continue sleeping, but he never thought that his phone would ring again after a while.

The piercing sound was like a fire alarm in the middle of the night.

Cheng Ruojun obviously did not want to answer, but I really want to know why Tao Man called me in the middle of the night. Or rather, I really want to see what kind of tricks he would use to seduce Cheng Ruojun.

In the past, although I hoped that Tao Man could snatch Cheng Ruojun away, but things have developed to this point, I feel that Tao Man does not have the ability to do so.

“Answer it.” I said, “Maybe Tao Man has something urgent, she doesn’t live by herself?”

Cheng Ruojun raised his eyelids to look at me, and then pressed the call button.

“What is it?” Cheng Ruojun said coldly.

“Ruo Ruo, I beg you to come quickly.” I heard Tao Man’s voice, and her voice was shrill and shrill. Even though I was a good distance away from the phone, I could still hear her clearly.

“What’s wrong?” Cheng Ruojun’s expression finally became serious.

“I’m sick. I feel like I’m dying.” Tao Man said. That energetic voice of hers just now did not sound like she was sick at all.

“You should have called 120.” Cheng Ruojun said.
