My Groom Ran Away - Chapter 62
Day by day passed, and it was New Year’s Day in a blink of an eye.
After all, it was a rare holiday. The festive atmosphere on the street was quite strong. Ruan Zhiyin asked Qin Xiang and Ye Yanchu to go shopping together, but Gu Linlang did not come because of something.
After shopping for an afternoon, the three of them stopped at a dessert shop in a shopping mall.
After the dessert came up, Qin Xiang dug the ice cream in the ice bowl and talked to the two about the last banquet.
“Guests’ rumors and rumors can’t be controlled. Although Lin Jingfei is not with Jiang Anzheng, grandpa has already let go. The marriage should be over.”
What happened at the Qin family’s birthday banquet is no longer a secret among the wealthy circles.
Qin Xiang understands Lin Jingfei, of course he will not foolishly think that Lin Jingfei really has anything to do with Jiang Anzheng, but he can’t stand the rumors that the other three have become tigers.
As for the person who framed Lin Jingfei, Qin Xiang could also think of it. After so many things, Lin Jingfei finally forced her brother to completely cut off her thoughts.
Now, Lin Jingfei has nothing.
Others may not understand Lin Jingfei’s mentality, but Qin Xiang has known her since childhood and knows why Lin Jingfei did this.
Before Ruan Zhiyin returned to the Ruan family, Lin Jingfei was the only daughter of the Ruan family. Given the relationship between Qin and Ruan’s family, if there is no accident, the other party will naturally marry his elder brother.
But Lin Jingfei didn’t expect that Ruan Zhiyin would return to Ruan’s house one day. One by one, the things I owned at the time were lost, and the envy of outsiders gradually shifted to others.
Qin Xiang knew very well that Lin Jingfei, who had been competing with her brother for attention since she was a child, could not let go of that vanity, desperately trying to get it back, but step by step to the present.
I thought that the matter had come to an end, but even if the marriage contract was cancelled now, my brother was not happy. He went out early and returned late every day, and asked about the current situation of Zhiyin from time to time, which made Qin Xiang very embarrassed.
Hearing Qin Xiang’s words, Ye Yanchu held her chin and said, “Lin Wei has been arrested. If Lin Jingfei can recognize the facts, she should have a clear relationship with the Lin family.”
Lin Cheng’s lover has returned to China with his illegitimate child, and the Lin family is a group of vampires. Lin Jingfei’s company has gone bankrupt, and if she doesn’t realize it, she will still be offended.
“Forget it, let’s not mention her, let’s have a good chat. Sister Yanchu, are you about to celebrate your birthday? Let’s talk, what do you want?” Qin Xiang smiled and looked at Ye Yanchu.
“I am now, I want a man.”
Ye Yanchu sighed and remembered Fu Chenyuan who was still angry because of her ‘scumbag’ behavior.
Qin Xiang: “…”
Forgive her for not being satisfied.
Qin Xiang turned to ask Ruan Zhiyin for help, only to find that the other party was looking at the dessert in front of him in a daze: “Sister Zhiyin, what’s the matter with you?”
Ruan Zhiyin regained his senses and curled his lips: “It’s nothing, it just occurred to me that the birthdays of Achu and Cheng Yuelin seem to be only one day away.”
Not only that, in the sophomore year of high school, Cheng Yuelin once had a temper because of a birthday gift.
At that time, the New Year’s Day holiday was just over. When I returned to school, everyone hadn’t been relieved from the holiday atmosphere, and they were a little slack in the evening self-study.
Since the weekend is Ye Yanchu’s birthday, Ruan Zhiyin prepared a birthday gift early, which was a CD autographed by Ye Yanchu’s favorite singer.
The singer is an entertainer from Qin Entertainment, and Qin Xiang asked for his signature. Ruan Zhiyin specially bought exquisite gift boxes and wrapping papers, and after the first night of self-study, he has been in that package of gifts.
It was at this time that Qian Fan came to the classroom to talk to Cheng Yuelin who was leaning against the window.
“Brother Lin, do you go to play on weekends?”
Cheng Yuelin leaned there, took off the earphones he was only wearing, lifted his eyelids at will, and replied perfunctorily: “Don’t go.”
Qian Fan didn’t feel annoyed. He lowered his lips and said, “Oh, I almost forgot. On your birthday this weekend, Uncle Cheng will come back for dinner with you, right?”
The young man’s expression was slightly startled, he glanced at Ruan Zhiyin who was attentively wrapping his gifts, and nodded as if he was casual: “Well, maybe.”
Cheng Yuelin didn’t care much about birthdays. If Qian Fan didn’t mention it, he would almost forget it.
“What birthday gift do you want this time to give you the entire Messi jersey?” Qian Fan smiled and took his shoulders.
Cheng Yuelin silently curled her lower lip, looked slightly slanted, turned her eyes down the earphones wrapped around the slender knuckles, and said casually: “I prefer practical things. For example, occasionally listening to music… is fine.”
After he finished speaking, he raised his leg, and the notebook on the desk emphatically landed at Ruan Zhiyin’s feet. Ruan Zhiyin, who was immersed in the gift, turned his head in confusion: “?”
The other party slowly retracted his gaze, and picked up the book by himself, as if he had just accidentally touched something on the desk.
In a flash, it was Friday.
When school was over, Cheng Yuelin stopped Ruan Zhiyin who was about to leave after packing up his schoolbags.
“Cheng Yuelin, what’s wrong with you?”
Ruan Zhiyin is not a piece of wood, and he has already noticed that he has been staring at him all day. She had not finished writing the paper she had made for her own study at night. She was stopped at this moment, frowning and raising her eyes, her tone also a little impatient.
Cheng Yuelin’s expression was slightly stagnant, his eyes swept across her empty table hole, and then he straightened her lips and asked, “Well, what’s in your table hole?”
Ruan Zhiyin was unclear, so: “What is it?”
“That’s it—” He paused, deliberately looking away, “Gift box.”
“Oh, it’s for Achu.”
Cheng Yuelin frowned: “Give it to her?”
“Yes, Ah Chu has his birthday today.”
Cheng Yuelin: “…”
Later, he hadn’t spoken to her for about half a week, and when their relationship improved the next year, he forced her to give her two birthday presents.
Now think about it, Cheng Yuelin back then—
It’s really awkward and cute.
—
After seven o’clock, Ruan Zhiyin and his friend parted and returned to the villa.
Cheng Yuelin was asked by Qian Fan to go out today. The few people haven’t got together for a long time, and they probably won’t come back so soon.
She went upstairs and changed her home clothes. After doing yoga in the living room for a while following the video, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Thinking it was Cheng Yuelin who came back early, Ruan Zhiyin got up to open the door, but was a little surprised after seeing the person who came: “Linlang?”
During the day, Gu Linlang said that she hadn’t gone out temporarily, and Ruan Zhiyin didn’t expect that she would come over at this time.
“I really don’t know where to go, so I can only come to you.” Gu Linlang only wore a thin windbreaker, no makeup, and her complexion was a little haggard.
Ruan Zhiyin rarely saw her look so depressed, and let her in sideways. After closing the door, he frowned and asked, “Have you quarreled with Fang Weirui?”
“It doesn’t count.” After dissipating the damp chill outside, Gu Linlang shook her head, but then threw a bomb in the next sentence, “Yinyin, I want to divorce.”
Ruan Zhiyin was very surprised, his eyes opened slightly, but he couldn’t ask what he wanted to say.
“What kind of look are you in?” Gu Linlang smiled, took a sigh of relief, and said, “Don’t worry, he didn’t cheat, but I don’t want to see him embarrassed anymore.”
She walked to the sofa and sat down, her voice was very soft: “Some time ago, I went for a checkup.”
After speaking, the smile on the corner of his mouth was a bit bitter, “Yinyin, I didn’t expect that I would not be able to give birth to my own child.”
Gu Linlang has always planned her life, whether it is marriage or career. Ruan Zhiyin knew that in the past two years, BING was gradually on the right track, and she also began to try to get pregnant.
Different from Ruan Zhiyin’s concerns, Gu Linlang likes children very much, but sometimes destiny is just such a joke.
“His mother is good to me, but it’s impossible not to mind this kind of thing.” Gu Linlang sighed and comforted herself. “But I have money and a career now, so I don’t have to force a man and a child. If I get a divorce, we will both. No pressure.”
Ruan Zhiyin condensed her eyebrows and paused for a while before asking, “What did Fang Weirui say?”
“He doesn’t agree with the divorce, but he also knows that this will make me more relaxed, and he is willing to let me move out first.” After speaking, Gu Linlang lowered her eyes, “Calm down, it’s good.”
—
In the Jinhuang Clubhouse, there are songs in the huge box, but no one is singing.
Sitting at the mahjong table, Qian Fan just fumbled a game and was in a good mood.
He lit a cigarette and looked at the man sitting alone on the sofa: “Brother Lin, you came out late at night, did your sister-in-law say you?”
Cheng Yuelin glanced at him, put down the wine glass in his hand, snorted softly, and replied: “Say me? I think it looks like you?”
Qian Fan was recently forced by his family to go on a blind date. He resisted, and Qian Mu stared at him in his eating, drinking and playing style, making him miserable.
Fu Chenyuan smiled when he heard the words, and raised his sword eyebrows slightly: “Hey, listening to this tone, your family status is quite high?”
“improvise.”
The voice is neither salty nor weak, but it implies showing off.
Hearing this, Fu Chenyuan didn’t have the same knowledge as him, got up and took his coat: “Okay, then you play for me, I will withdraw first.”
“What are you going to do?” Qian Fan asked.
“Pick up.” Fu Chenyuan glanced at the time on his phone and put on his jacket without hurriedly. “There is an entrance guard recently. You can’t drink outside at night.”
“Tsk, my younger siblings are quite strict.” Qian Fan shook his head, then looked at Xiang Cheng Yuelin, “Brother Lin, it’s okay, I didn’t see my sister-in-law calling you to urge you to go home.”
Cheng Yuelin: “…”
It doesn’t sound very pleasant to hear this.
However, as soon as Qian Fan’s voice fell, the mobile phone on the table rang.
Cheng Yuelin glanced at the caller ID, frowned slightly, picked up the phone to connect: “Hey.”
“Where are you?”
“Oh, drinking with Qian Fan and them in Jinhuang.” He faintly raised his voice.
But in the microphone, Ruan Zhiyin’s voice seemed very relieved: “Then you drink slowly, don’t rush back.”
Cheng Yuelin: “…”
Yu Guang glanced at the gaze of Qian Fan and Fu Chenyuan, and he coughed softly, “I see, what are you urging, I will go back now.”
Ruan Zhiyin: “?”
Thinking he had misunderstood what he meant, Ruan Zhiyin said understandingly: “I didn’t urge you. Lin Lang is here. I will sleep with her tonight. Jin Huang is very close to my apartment. If you drink too much, let the driver send you off. Just go to my apartment and rest for one night.”
If he was caught off guard, Cheng Yuelin choked slightly. He nodded calmly: “Well, I’ll take a look later, I’ll hang up first.”
Seeing Cheng Yuelin put down the phone, Qian Fan asked, “Brother Lin, did my sister-in-law urge you to go home?”
Cheng Yuelin pursed her lower lip slightly, her voice indifferent: “Well, it’s not because you have been outside for too long, you miss me.”
“Then what are you doing in a daze?” Qian Fan quickly threw the man’s coat hanging at the door to him, and urged, “Go back.”
Cheng Yuelin looked at the coat in his arms, then glanced at Fu Chenyuan, who was standing at the door of the box for a while, pointed to a mahjong table that was empty below, and slowly said: “I’m back, you are not missing one?”
“If you ask someone again, Wang Xin and the others are in the next door to organize the game, so there is no shortage of people.” Qian Fan consciously and considerately, “Brother Lin, hurry up, and I will be waiting for you at home for a while.”
Cheng Yuelin: “…”
—
In the villa, Ruan Zhiyin accompanied Gu Linlang, who was in a bad mood, for a while, but Gu Linlang didn’t drink much.
Drunk gradually sinking, the two lay on the second bed, chatting for a while.
An hour later, Gu Linlang looked helplessly at Ruan Zhiyin who had already fallen asleep, then glanced at the missed call on the phone, and was about to leave.
As soon as I went downstairs, I heard the noise at the door.
When Cong Jinhuang came out, Cheng Yuelin asked the driver to circle the main city twice before returning to the villa.
Gu Linlang looked at the man in front of him, said hello, and said, “Yinyin drank some wine and fell asleep. Go and take a look.”
Cheng Yuelin looked upstairs, then nodded: “The driver is still outside, let the driver see you off.”
“Alright.” Gu Linlang did not refuse.
When she walked to the door, she suddenly remembered that when she first saw Cheng Yuelin four years ago, the other party suddenly asked her about the Jade Buddha with a slightly persistent expression.
“That’s right—” Gu Linlang turned her head, “After getting married, her voice really became a lot more vivid. In fact, she used to be in the orphanage and was much more lively than after returning to Ruan’s house.”
Gu Linlang is two years older than Ruan Zhiyin. Although the two are friends who grew up together, she still has a sense of responsibility as an older sister.
Looking at the man’s dark and calm eyes, she paused, her voice very serious: “Can you keep her happy forever?”
Cheng Yuelin solemnly pursed her lips: “Of course.”
“That’s good.” Gu Linlang breathed a sigh of relief.
—
The next day, when Ruan Zhiyin woke up rubbing his eyes, he found that he had actually returned to the master bedroom.
Turning her head and seeing the man beside her, she frowned: “Where is Linlang?”
“Let’s go.” Seeing Ruan Zhiyin’s deep thoughts, Cheng Yuelin slapped her head, “What, do you really want to kick me out of the house?”
What she said was that she persuaded him yesterday that if he drank too much, he didn’t need to rush home. Cheng Yuelin felt that she really didn’t have any consciousness of controlling him.
After hearing this, Ruan Zhiyin shook his head and reached out to hug him: “No, then I have to accompany Lin Lang.”
“Are you not afraid of me being abducted?” He looked down at her, and said lightly.
Ruan Zhiyin paused slightly, raising his eyes and said: “Then you know how?”
“No.” Cheng Yuelin sighed and rubbed her head. “Don’t worry, no one can abduct me.”
Ruan Zhiyin smiled, buried his head in his arms, and thought of another thing: “A Lin, what birthday gift do you want?”
“Nothing I want.”
The most wanted, has been obtained.
“Why don’t you want anything?” Ruan Zhiyin was dissatisfied with his answer, and raised his head again, staring at him with his eyebrows, “Think about it.”
Cheng Yuelin’s eyes were deep: “Ruan Ting, do you think life can be repeated?”
“Why do you ask?”
“If I can do it again, I have a wish.”
“What wish?”
He didn’t answer again.
After Lin Zhe was imprisoned, Cheng Yuelin went to see him once. The other party was cowardly, casually intimidated a few words, and told him a lot about Ruan Zhiyin when he first returned to Ruan’s house.
If there is still regret, it is probably that at that time, she failed to notice the experience behind her silence, and everything she faced alone.
If she could do it again, she probably wanted to go back to that time, to protect all her smiles, to make her boldly public, and to be unscrupulous in the future life.
Ruan Zhiyin waited for a long time, but couldn’t wait for the man’s answer, so he simply stopped asking. But this time, she wanted to give him the best birthday present.
