Ex-husband, Please Stay - C219
A red umbrella approached from the distance and finally entered the platform. He kept the umbrella, revealing a small, pink face. It was Zuo Ya.
“Yuyao, why are you here? Why haven’t you returned home?” Zuo Ya was slightly taken aback when she saw her.
Yuyao’s unfocused gaze gradually condensed, and landed on Zuo Ya’s body in the end with a trace of ridicule.
“Zuo Ya completely ignored Yuyao’s sarcasm, and came to her side in a few steps, without a hint of apology. Instead, she raised his head, and said in a flaunting manner,” Actually Ru Feng and I have been together for a long time, and we have been secretly dating. I know he actually likes you, but we are also very happy together, and now that you have taken the initiative to break up, we can be together.
Yuyao narrowed her eyes. When he looked at her, apart from ridicule, there was also disdain and disgust. She simply could not believe how Zuo Ya was able to say such dirty words. What did she think she was, and what did she think Lu Yuyao was?
“Zuo Ya, you can be poor, but you can’t be lacking in dignity. If you like Ji Rufeng, you can definitely tell me and I will let you go, because I, Lu Yuyao, disdain sharing the same man with others. ”
Yuyao stood up, pushed Zuo Ya away and prepared to leave. Yuyao didn’t even want to look at her once more.
The ground was slippery, and with a push from her, Zuo Ya unsteadily fell to the ground. The folder on her back fell apart, revealing a picture of a girl.
Ah!” “Ah!” Zoya cried out in shock. She picked up the portrait that was covered in water and mud and carefully wiped it. “This is a portrait that Windy drew for me. What if it gets dirty?
“You, what did you say?” Yuyao looked at her in shock, her expression miserable. She was clearly crying, but her lips were smirking.
He said that men only painted pictures of their beloved women. He said that he only painted pictures of her all his life.
“Ru Feng, Ji Rufeng, I was wrong about you.” After Yuyao finished speaking, she walked out into the rain alone.
The cold rain instantly pierced through the thin dress on her body. It was so cold that she couldn’t help but shiver. Yuyao walked forward with difficulty, her arms folded across her chest. She had neither a goal nor a direction to go.
If she did not break up with Ji Rufeng this time, then would she continue to be deceived by him, and continue to live within the lies he made up?
The rain got heavier and heavier, the amount of traffic and pedestrians lessening. Yuyao was really unable to walk anymore, her legs became weak, and she fell onto the side of the road. She took out her cell phone and called Lu Yuhang, then started crying into it.
“Big brother, I’m lost. Hurry up and bring me home …”
She cried, and the phone slipped out of her hand and fell onto the hard tarmac. The screen went black.
Since she was young, this was the first time Yuyao had made herself look so miserable. When Lu Yuhang rushed over, he only saw his sister sitting by the side of the horse road by herself, with her body curled up into a ball. The rain had already covered her ankles, but she did not notice at all.
“Yuyao!” Lu Yuhang ran over quickly and carried her off the ground without saying a word, and stuffed her inside the carriage.
Yuyao sat on the first seat, shivering from the cold, her lips turning purple. Lu Yuhang took off his jacket and wrapped it around her, causing the air-conditioning in the car to turn on its strongest.
“What happened? “How did you end up like this?” Lu Yuhang asked worriedly.
Yuyao bit her lips and silently shook her head, “Didn’t I say it already? I’m lost.”
“Lost? Lu Yuyao, you grew up in Beijing, how could you get lost? Lu Yuhang was also not someone to be fooled, she stared at her with her sharp eyes.
But Yuyao was usually laughing and laughing, but she had a stubborn personality. As long as she did not want to say it, no one could force her.
She wrapped herself around her brother’s coat and coldly squinted her beautiful eyes. With a hint of bitterness and ridicule, she said, “Brother, if I say we’re lost, then we’re lost. Do you really have to continue wasting time here? I’m cold. If you want to get to the bottom of this, can you wait for me to go back and change? ”
Lu Yuhang had no choice but to start the engine, and the car shot past like an arrow.
Yuyao walked into the living room, her body still dripping wet. Fortunately, both Lu Tingjun and An Xiaoran had not come back yet, otherwise, it would cause another uproar.
“Hurry back to the bedroom, take a hot bath, and change into a clean set of clothes.” Lu Yuhang reminded his worriedly.
“Yes.” Yuyao nodded her head and directly walked into the bedroom. She blankly opened the bathroom door and stood under the shower, allowing the water to continuously wash over her body. From head to toe, it seemed as if this was the only way to wake her up and extinguish all hope she had for Ji Rufeng.
Yuyao didn’t come out of her bedroom for more than half an hour, and since Lu Yuhang didn’t open the door when he was outside, he became a little anxious, but he didn’t dare intrude recklessly.
Coincidentally, when Yuchen returned, he heard that the Yuyao had locked him in his room, so she hurriedly found the spare key and entered the room.
She pushed open the bathroom door, then turned pale with fright.
He saw Yuyao sitting on the pure white marble floor, her wet skirt sticking to her body. She had her arms wrapped around her knees and was curling her body, allowing the cold water from the shower to pour down on her head.
“Yuyao, what are you doing!” Yuchen turned off the water switch and forcefully pulled her out of the bathroom.
Yuyao’s unfocused gaze finally regained its clarity. She suddenly hugged Yuchen and cried loudly, “Sis, he’s lying to me, he’s always been lying to me …”
Yuchen was naturally clear that the ‘he’ Yuyao spoke of must be Ji Rufeng. What exactly happened that made Yuyao so sad? A few days ago, they broke up. Now, they were reduced to such a sorry state. What exactly had happened?
“Yuyao, what happened? What happened to you and Ji Rufeng? ”
Yuyao shook her head non-stop. She was only crying, but she gritted her teeth and didn’t say anything else. When she had cried enough, she finally let go of Yuchen and used the back of her hand to wipe the tears off her face and changed into a clean set of clothes. Then, as if nothing had happened, she said to Yuchen, “Sis, I’m tired. I want to sleep for a while.”
“Yao Yao …” Yuchen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the Yuyao.
“Sis, I’m really fine, don’t worry, I’ll be fine after a nap.” After Yuyao finished, he laid quietly on the bed.
Yuchen walked out of her room, then asked, “How is she?”
Yuchen naturally would not call out Ji Rufeng, and only vaguely said, “The little girl is getting angry again. It’s nothing major, just let her sleep for a bit, and he’ll be fine after a bit of rest.”
Lu Yuchen returned to his room and after thinking about it carefully, she still dialed Ji Rufeng’s number.
The phone rang for a long time before someone answered. Ji Rufeng’s voice was no different from usual, it was without any ripples, and only had an additional trace of an undetectable coldness, “Is there a problem?”
“Yes.” Yuchen replied, then directly asked, “Ji Rufeng, what happened between you and Yuyao?”
Just as she finished speaking, a mocking sneer came out from the other end of the phone, “Didn’t Lu Yuyao tell you, we broke up.”
“Why?” I don’t believe in any kind of discord, a peaceful breakup. ”
“That’s what she told you?” “Then let’s do it.” Ji Rufeng’s tone was neither hot nor cold, and with that, he hung up the phone.
“Ji Rufeng, Ji Rufeng!” Yuchen looked at the microphone and raised his voice, but what replied to her was only the busy tone of the phone.
He thought that Yuyao would wake up from her sleep just like she did a few days ago, still living happily, as if nothing had happened.
When An Xiaoran went to call her to eat, she discovered that Yuyao had been having a high fever for an unknown period of time. Her face was flushed red and her body was scorching hot, to the point that his consciousness had become a little blurry.
An Xiaoran anxiously called his family’s doctor. After the doctor rushed over, he gave Yuyao a small IV drip, and by noon, the fever subsided. Fortunately, he discovered it early, and did not burn the pneumonia.
Yuyao slept for an entire day before she regained consciousness in the evening. An Xiaoran had been sitting beside her and guarding, when she suddenly realised that his daughter had really grown up and was beginning to have worries on her mind.
When Yuyao opened her eyes, she saw his mother sitting by her bed, holding onto her hand with a pale face.
“Mom, don’t force me. I’m fine, I’m just a bit tired.” Yuyao smiled at An Xiaoran with some difficulty.
The more she was like this, the more heartache she would feel. An Xiaoran’s gentle hands caressed her forehead, it was very light and gentle, “Silly girl, you don’t need to hold it back in front of your mother, just cry if you want to.”
Yuyao’s beautiful big eyes blinked a few times as tears glistened, but they did not fall down. She felt that whether it was for Ji Rufeng or Ji Rufeng, they were all no longer worth crying for.
She shifted her body and rested her head on An Xiaoran’s lap. Her eyes were unfocused as her lips moved and closed, and she asked, “Mum, do you love daddy a lot?”
An Xiaoran laughed and lightly nodded his head, “En, of course I do, if not why would there be you little radishes.”
“Mom, what kind of person is worthy of love?” The Yuyao asked again.
“What happened today? You actually asked me if I got anything, did you lose your mind? ” An Xiaoran’s palm once again covered Yuyao’s forehead, but the temperature was cold, the fever had long since subsided.
Yuyao took the opportunity to hold her mother’s hand. Starlight shone in her eyes and she stubbornly repeated, “Mom, you still haven’t answered my question.”
An Xiaoran smiled faintly, her eyes slightly narrowed, as if she had thought of something blissful. The corners of her lips slightly raised, but within her smiling expression, there was a hint of bitterness. In the past, her path of love had been one of extreme hardship. Lu Tingjun was her only man, yet he was also the person who had hurt her the most.
“Sometimes love can be accompanied by harm. How much a person loves you depends on how much he is willing to sacrifice for you. If a person is willing to give up his identity, status, ideals, hopes, or even his life for you, then he must truly love you.”
The Yuyao listened quietly, then hesitantly raised her head. Her clear eyes had a trace of confusion in them, “Mom, will I meet such a person?”
“Of course I will. My Yao Yao is so beautiful, she is worthy of the best man to love her.” An Xiaoran replied with a smile.
Yuyao laid her head in his mother’s embrace, rubbing her hands over and over again on her chest, her tears wetting the clothes on An Xiaoran’s chest. “Mom, this is the first time you’ve praised me. “Actually, I know that I’m not good at all. I’m not as smart as you, and I’m not as beautiful as you.”
“Idiot, everyone has their own good. You are not a replica of anyone, and no one can replace you.” An Xiaoran gently caressed Yuyao’s head, then asked, “Are you hungry? “Get up and eat. I’ll get the nanny to cook some congee for you.”
Yuyao could barely drink a few mouthfuls before she stopped. The fever was gone, and her body recovered quickly, but her heart was still sick. Perhaps she would recover in a few days, or perhaps, this illness would follow her for her entire life and never recover.
In the next few days, Yuyao was always sickly, she hid in his room every day and did not go out. She would occasionally sit on the rattan chair on the balcony to blow on the wind, and after a short while, she coughed continuously due to the wind and could only return to his room.
Lu Yuchen could not bear to see such a sickly Yuyao any longer.
She naturally could not say anything to her sister, so she went to find Ji Rufeng.
On the way to the Ji Family apartment, Lu Yuchen had been preparing for this entire trip. From her perspective, she couldn’t say too much, but at least it had to have some effect. As an older sister, she could naturally see how much the Yuyao cared about this man, even though the little girl always acted like she did not care at all.
The taxi stopped at the apartment on the west side of the city. Yuchen paid the driver and got off.
Because she was a seemingly well-behaved little girl, the security guards at the door did not stop her. They only asked a simple question and let her in.
Yuchen followed the address that he left behind in the school, rode on the elevator and arrived in front of Ji Rufeng’s apartment. She hesitated for a moment but then pressed the doorbell.
The door was opened very quickly. Ji Rufeng was dressed in a light and light household uniform, with a cold and handsome face, and a faint trace of haggardness. When he saw Yuchen outside the door, he was somewhat astonished. He hadn’t expected her to come to him.
“What’s the matter?” He stood there, his tone slightly cold. He had no intention of inviting her in.
Yuchen nodded her head, and asked with a gentle tone, “Is it convenient to go in? “I …”
Without waiting for Yuchen to finish speaking, a female voice came out from the house. Then, Zuo Ya appeared behind Ji Rufeng, “Ru Feng, who is it?”
Yuchen was stunned on the spot, at that moment, she really wanted to raise her hand and give Ji Rufeng a slap, but when she was halfway there, she forcibly stopped herself from doing so, and even if she wanted to, it should be the Yuyao, not her.
Yuchen pointed at Zuo Ya behind him, her arm trembling slightly, “Is this the reason why you broke up with Yuyao? Ji Rufeng, I never thought that you were this kind of person, it seems that Yuyao has misjudged you. From today onwards, you have to harass my sister again, you better take care of yourself. ”
In the face of her overbearing attitude, Ji Rufeng only pursed his lips into a cold smile. He did not feel the need to explain anything to her.
The breakup had been proposed by Yuyao. He let go of her pride and begged her, but she had insisted on it and said everything she wanted to say. This relationship could only end with her breaking up.
“I have nothing to explain. If you want to know anything, you’d better go back and ask your sister. “Take care, see you out.” After Ji Rufeng finished speaking, he slammed the door shut.
Yuchen locked herself outside the door, looked at the tightly shut door, suppressed a stomach full of anger, and then angrily turned around and left.
Not long after Yuchen left, the door opened once more. Ji Rufeng stood inside the door, his eyes still cold and clear, “You can go now. “Also, don’t look for me again in the future.”
Zuo Ya stood there stiffly, her hands folded uneasily. Senior Ji, I … ”
“Don’t worry, since I’ve promised to help you transfer, I’ll definitely do it. You don’t have to worry about the tuition and fees.” He slightly narrowed his cold eyes, his gaze indifferent, not even sparing Zuo Ya a glance, “I also think that it’s inappropriate for you to continue staying at such a high level, and Yao Yao probably doesn’t like to see you again.”
Zuo Ya was startled. So it was for Lu Yuyao that he agreed to help her transfer without hesitation.
“I-I know, but I still have to thank you.”
“No need, take care.” Ji Rufeng coldly ordered them to leave.
Zuo Ya could not keep on making people hate him, so she left dejectedly.
The room finally quietened down. Ji Rufeng walked to the bed and opened all the windows in the apartment wide. He really didn’t like the smell of other women staying in the place that belonged to him.
He had only allowed the Yuyao to intrude into his world, but in the end, she had disappointed him.
Ji Rufeng sat on the sofa in the living room alone, deep in thought. After a long while, he picked up the phone on the table and called his family.
