My Groom Ran Away - Chapter 28

Ten minutes later, Cheng Yuelin finished washing the bowl and walked out of the kitchen leisurely.

After sitting in the living room thinking for a few seconds, Ruan Zhiyin stopped him.

“Cheng Yuelin.”

“Well, what?”

The man raised his eyebrows, and turned his head arrogantly, his dark, quiet eyes looked straight over.

Xu is because he is wearing a black and white sportswear today, and the appearance of lying idle against the wall is a bit of a high school shadow.

Ruan Zhiyin paused: “If you overhear my speech, I think I need to change the room.”

After thinking about it, if you install the sound insulation layer, you need to ask the decorator to come over. It is obviously more convenient to change the room.

Cheng Yuelin closed the corner of his mouth when he heard the words, turned aside his gaze, and chuckled back: “Ruan Ting, correct you a little, it is clear that the soundproofing of the second bedroom is too bad, but I am not listening.”

“In addition, only the master bedroom and that guest room can live in the villa. Where do you want to move?”

Ruan Zhiyin condensed his eyebrows: “Aren’t there two rooms to the west of the master bedroom?”

“Oh, that is a reserved children’s room.”

The man erased her plan lightly.

Ruan Zhiyin felt inexplicable: “Children’s room, where’s your child from?”

“If you don’t have it now, it doesn’t mean that you won’t have it in the future. Don’t you understand this precautionary principle?”

Cheng Yuelin finished speaking lazily, looking at her lightly with deep eyes, unable to discern any emotions.

“But Zhao Bing didn’t mean you–”

Ruan Zhiyin fell into a choke before he finished speaking.

Since Cheng Yuelin can prepare two children’s rooms, he seems to like children very much. No matter what, she couldn’t poke someone so bluntly.

The man’s deep gaze brewed inquiries: “Oh? What did Zhao Bing say about me?”

He knew that Zhao Bing took the initiative to meet with her last time, and he must have revealed something inadvertently.

Her current attitude seems to be… there is something wrong with him.

“It’s nothing.” Ruan Zhiyin breathed a sigh of relief, “Well, then I won’t move, but I will ask the decorator to come over and install the upper sound insulation board in the second bedroom.”

“It’s up to you.” Cheng Yuelin said in a casual tone, shrugged indifferently, and then slightly moaned and added pointedly, “As long as you don’t waste your effort.”

Anyway, even if it’s installed, it won’t take long.

——

The weekend was fleeting.

After Cheng Yuelin came back from a business trip, the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the official start of the North City project followed. Lin Heng is an investor after all, so he naturally needs to attend.

The terrain in the north of Landbridge City has more ups and downs, and it is not easy to develop as a residential area and a commercial area. It used to belong to the suburbs.

Fortunately, there is still a bit of scenery and artistic conception. The city government does not want to waste the commercial value of Beicheng, and finally plans to build a large-scale holiday park.

Nguyen Thi is not only responsible for the development of the park, but also the future operation planning. In addition to representatives of Lin Heng who attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony, there were also several partners who would later settle in the park.

Kang Yu contacted the local TV station and the media in advance to shoot, but to avoid suspicion, Ruan Zhiyin did not show up with Cheng Yuelin.

The partners are almost there, and the government is almost there.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled to start at ten o’clock.

With more than ten minutes left, Kang Yu walked to Ruan Zhiyin who was sitting in the front row of the podium: “Mr. Ruan, everything is ready.”

“Yeah.” Ruan Zhiyin hummed softly.

Just about to send a message to Cheng Yuelin who hadn’t arrived yet, I heard a small commotion in the back row.

Looking up, the man walked up leisurely in a dark gray suit. The tough outline was dyed with a little coldness, and his eyes were alienated and indifferent.

Representatives of several partners stepped forward to shake hands with him, and briefly talked with him. He nodded from time to time, but always strutting high, surrounded by a few people behind him, walked to her and stopped.

“It was delayed to deal with something temporarily.”

This is explaining to her the reason for being late.

Ruan Zhiyin calmly shook his head in the sight cast by the people around him secretly: “It’s okay, just about to start.”

No wonder Lin Lang would think that his appearance now is completely different from before. In this kind of occasion, Cheng Yuelin was indeed somewhat alienated and indifferent.

Perhaps it was the hardship and ridicule that he had endured in those few years that allowed him to take away the arrogant will of his youth and become more restrained in front of outsiders.

Hearing what she said, Cheng Yuelin didn’t say much, nodded slightly, and then took a seat beside her.

At the beginning of the ceremony, the host on the stage began to step into the process. The people in the audience were still thinking differently, and their eyes were always lingering on the two people in the front row.

Cheng Yuelin sat there leisurely and stretched, with a calm face, without squinting, but his tall body inadvertently leaned slightly in her direction.

Vaguely showing some closeness.

The people representing Ruan Thi and Lin Heng who took the stage to deliver speeches were Director Xiang Bin and Director Zhong. As for the government, it was Section Chief Feng of the Planning Bureau who came to attend the ceremony.

The two sat quietly, and at the end, someone invited Ruan Zhiyin and Cheng Yuelin to the stage to cut the ribbon symbolically.

Xiang Bin handed the prepared scissors to Ruan Zhiyin.

The man next to him remained calm, with a vacant palm wrapped her hand, and then cut the bright silk in a gesture from the host.

The camera of the off-stage media freezes this scene. From some angles, this pose is like Cheng Yuelin holding her halfway in his arms.

Ruan Zhiyin’s Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Cheng Yuelin’s dark blue tie, which he put on when he went out in the morning.

Looking at it now, it complements her with this blue shirt with some drape on her body.

At the end of the ribbon-cutting, Xiang Bin arranged for someone to take the partners to stroll around and explain the planning of the park on the design drawings.

Fearing that Cheng Yuelin had other arrangements, Ruan Zhiyin was about to send him away first, but Xiang Bin, who had just left with the partner, returned soon.

“Vice President Ruan, I mentioned the location of the hotel in the park last time. Nan Sheng wants to change to the location on the east side of Huanjiang River. What do you think?”

Nansheng Group owns several well-known hotel brands, and the location of the hotel has been decided before, and nothing goes wrong.

Moreover, all the cooperators who settled in signed lease terms, did not participate in investment, and did not have the right to decide on the specific planning of the park.

But Xiang Bin just took people around, but Nan Sheng’s people suddenly proposed to change the location of the hotel in the park. Their attitude was quite persistent, which was indeed unexpected.

After hearing this, Ruan Zhiyin frowned, “Where are the few people from Nan Sheng now?”

“It’s just east of the park.”

“I’ll go with you to have a look.”

After speaking, Ruan Zhiyin lowered his eyebrows again and looked at the man beside him, “Then you…”

Cheng Yuelin looked down at her, her voice faint: “Together.”

Nan Sheng sent to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony by Director Xu of the Sales Department, accompanied by two assistants.

When Ruan Zhiyin and others walked to the east of the park, Director Xu was still talking to the people in Xiang Bin’s group about his idea of ​​changing the location of the hotel.

Ruan Zhiyin thought for a moment and walked forward: “Director Xu, I heard Xiang Bin say that Nan Sheng wants to change the location of the hotel from the west to the east?”

After Xu Ligang spoke with the assistant, he saw the several people who suddenly appeared in front of him, their complexion faint.

He thought that Ruan Zhiyin and Xiang Bin would take the initiative to negotiate with him, but he didn’t expect that Cheng Yuelin, who was supposed to be leaving, would also follow.

Cheng Yuelin had a good friendship with Nan Sheng’s boss, and he was also the largest investor in the North City project. Xu Li couldn’t help being a little more polite.

After greeting Cheng Yuelin, Xu Li looked at Ruan Zhiyin and talked with each other: “Vice President Ruan, I’m not asking for trouble. But I’ve seen the design drawings. The east side is dominant, but there are only a few tourist service centers along the way. Isn’t it a pity?”

Ruan Zhiyin understood what he meant. From Nan Sheng’s point of view, if the location of the hotel was changed to the east side of Huanjiang, there would be 20% more hotel viewing rooms with a better view.

She narrowed her eyes and smiled and said, “Director Xu, do you have time to go to the east mountain to take a look?”

He didn’t directly put out a reason to reject the other party’s proposal, but threw out other invitations.

Although Xu Li didn’t know it, he didn’t refuse.

After a short while, following Ruan Zhiyin’s suggestion, the group climbed up the not-so-high mountain with the back of the park.

The hillside was fairly gentle, but Ruan Zhiyin’s shoelaces were low-heeled, and it was still a bit hard to move up. Fortunately, Cheng Yuelin had been silently pulling her from the side.

Before climbing a few steps, Xu Li’s assistant who was walking in the front suddenly slipped and stepped on an empty piece of soil, and even the stone next to it rolled down.

Ruan Zhiyin, who was following, had no time to avoid it, and in an instant, a hard rock hit her ankle.

A pain came, she was unstable, and the man who was pulling her quickly extended his other hand to support her.

In the next second, Cheng Yuelin held her waist and leaned over, her straight eyebrows furrowed deeply, and her dark eyes fell on the **** wound of her ankle.

Although this wound may not be considered particularly serious, it fell on Ruan Zhiyin’s white jade ankle, and it was also particularly dazzling.

But she just frowned slightly, and then calmly looked at Xu Li: “Director Xu, you have also seen that although this mountain is not high, the soil quality is not good. When it rains, guests may have to walk in and out of the hotel. Less muddy.”

“I think Nan Sheng should be more reluctant to affect the mood of the guests, what do you think?”

Xu Li had already noticed Cheng Yuelin’s deeper and deeper expression, and thought that his assistant had injured Ruan Zhiyin, and his heart suddenly became a little bit more embarrassed and uneasy.

After hearing what Ruan Zhiyin said, he hurriedly smiled and said, “Indeed, Vice President Ruan is troubled. Xiao Zhang didn’t pay attention and hurt you. I’m really sorry, do you want to…”

He wanted to ask whether he should arrange for someone to come up and help Ruan Zhiyin treat the wound first, and then take her down.

But before I finished speaking, I saw Cheng Yuelin turned his brows and turned his back, his knees bend slightly, and then he said: “Ruan Tingqi, come up.”

Ruan Zhiyin was dumb for a few seconds, and then realized that Cheng Yuelin was going to carry her down the mountain.

Although she was in front of outsiders, she was a little embarrassed at all, paused, and euphemistically said: “Actually, I can bear it, you don’t need to…”

Cheng Yuelin chuckled, and looked over with a calm gaze, his eyes seemed to say: If you don’t want to, I can hug you.

With all eyes in sight, Ruan Zhiyin sighed in his heart, stretched out his hand helplessly, and put his arms around the man’s neck.

Carrying the person on his back, Cheng Yuelin glanced at Bai Bo, who was coming soon, and said clearly: “I will take her home, you stay here, and work with Xiang Bin to deal with the next thing.”

After the words were over, the two stacked figures moved towards the foot of the mountain. As for the others, they wisely did not follow.

Xu Li stood on the spot and looked at Baibo, knowing that the other party is Cheng Yuelin’s special help and confidant, so he asked with a smile: “The relationship between President Cheng and Vice President Ruan is really good, but it is troublesome for Bai Special help.”

Bai Bo nodded blankly and said lightly: “Of course Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng have good feelings.”

Those who can make the boss ignorant of shareholders’ emotions first cut and then marry back must be on the cusp of heart.

After Bai Bo finished speaking, Xu Li had an epiphany.

On the other side, Ruan Zhiyin took a sigh of relief until no one was seen, and asked the man in a low voice: “Shen? Or put me down.”

She actually didn’t think this injury was serious.

Although he even twisted his foot just now, it was not impossible to walk at all.

Cheng Yuelin chuckled loosely, and replied in an unsatisfactory way: “You are just a little bit too burdensome, and you want me to feel heavy?”

He carried her firmly, his arms seemed to be very strong, and his footsteps were also very steady.

Ruan Zhiyin put his hands on his broad shoulders, staring at the back of the man’s head, paused, and stopped talking.

——

The driver waited at the entrance of the park and learned that Ruan Zhiyin had injured his foot and drove a little faster on the way back.

After more than half an hour, the two returned to the villa.

The medicine cabinet was placed on the coffee table in the living room. Ruan Zhiyin leaned on the sofa in the living room and rolled up his trousers.

And Cheng Yuelin, who just insisted on administering medicine to her, was obviously a little awkward. Seeing her keeping her lips pressed tightly, she frowned and said, “Does it hurt?”

Ruan Zhiyin was startled slightly and shook his head.

Cheng Yuelin looked at her a few times, frowned for some reason, suddenly put down the cotton swab in his hand, raised his eyes again, and looked at her with a serious and deep gaze.

“Ruan Ting Ting.”

“Um?”

“let’s talk.”

Ruan Zhiyin couldn’t figure out why he suddenly became serious, and his expression became a little bit more surprised: “What are you talking about?”

“In the eyes of others, I am your husband and the man in the family.” Cheng Yuelin looked at her with a chuckle, and then said, “Ruan Qidi, you have to know that men are inherently superior in physique, so society always asks for it. Men bear the responsibility of protecting women and children in the family.”

“I won’t stop you from exerting your excellence, but you don’t need to be so strong all the time, always tight and don’t want to rely on anyone, aren’t you tired?”

When the words fell, he twisted his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly remembered the words of the old man that were deeply regrettable when he went back to the old house last time–

“Yinyin has been back to Ruan’s house for so long, but has never acted coquettishly with me.”

Cheng Yuelin didn’t like her appearance of always being more patient, but she didn’t realize it, and she was always stubborn and refused to show weakness to others.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yuelin would suddenly say such a thing, Ruan Zhiyin was slightly stunned, pursing his lower lip, and murmured, “So what?”

Cheng Yuelin sighed helplessly: “So starting from today, you should learn to ask me for help.”

He stopped, picked up the cotton swab on the side again, and added in a low voice, “At least, in front of outsiders.”

“Don’t worry, I am very satisfied with the cohabitation life during this period. As long as your request is not excessive, I will give you this face and it will not be annoying.”

He persuades her to try to dispel the worries in her heart: “In a way, our relationship is a little closer than other people. You always see things like this, but it makes me uncomfortable.”

Ruan Zhiyin met his gaze, feeling that emotions she didn’t understand were brewing in those deep eyes, and her fingertips curled up subconsciously.

A little closer than the others…?

It seems that in addition to the initial cooperative relationship, she and Cheng Yuelin have more inexplicable connections because of this nominal marriage.

Perhaps, for Cheng Yuelin now, the continuation of this marriage is no longer just because of the exchange of interests in the North City project, they need to show more.

For her, Cheng Yuelin’s help to her during this period is not just the groom who came to the wedding.

This was the first time someone told her seriously, don’t worry too much, learn to ask him for help.

Ruan Zhiyin is always accustomed to avoiding the cowardice caused by dependence. Never thought that this would also make people around him feel pressured, but now–

Inexplicably, it seemed that there was a string that was pulled very tightly, and suddenly broke apart after hearing his words.

“Actually…it seems to hurt a bit.”

Her eyes were stunned, she hadn’t sorted out the messy thoughts, and these words had already blurted out.

After reacting, Ruan Zhiyin sighed, frowned and remained silent for a while, and finally chuckled in a complicated mood, with a low voice: “Cheng Yuelin, thank you.”

It’s just a weakness, it doesn’t seem to be that difficult.

Even after letting myself relax the tight corners of my heart, I felt relieved.

“En.” The man hummed, his expression unchanged, but he couldn’t help lightening his hand.

In the living room, the atmosphere became silent.

After Cheng Yuelin treated her wounds and got up to pack up the medicine box, Ruan Zhiyin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, “There is one more thing… I’m sorry.”

“Huh?” Cheng Yuelin raised an eyebrow and looked back.

She paused and looked down: “That day, I shouldn’t have misunderstood that you eavesdropped on me and Lin Lang because of my momentary emotions.”

As he said, the soundproofing of the second bedroom is not good, and he cannot be blamed.

“Hmm.” The man’s gaze floated to the medicine cabinet somehow, and he said lightly, “It’s okay.”

After a few moments, he casually said, “Then, have you added the sound insulation layer?”

Ruan Zhiyin groaned for a few seconds after hearing the words, chuckled and shook his head: “For the time being… don’t add it.”
