Although Zhou Zixuan had passed away six years ago, she was still Bai Xingchen's only love. After Zi Xuan passed away, Bai Xingchen hired a famous sculptor from abroad to carve a sculpture that looked exactly like Zi Xuan.
Many times, Bai Xingchen would express her feelings to the statue, or simply hug the cold statue and fall asleep.
Bai Xingchen would hug Zhou Zixuan's sculpture. Sometimes, he would just hug it and talk for a while before leaving. He did not allow anyone to enter this room. If there was dust in the room, he would personally clean it. Throughout the year, Bai Xingchen would buy clothes for Zixuan according to the seasons. He would choose a few pieces to burn into ashes and send to Zixuan. The rest would be placed in the closet. Every special holiday, Bai Xingchen would put down his work and personally go to the mall to choose gifts for Zixuan. When he returned home, he would prepare a candlelight dinner. And drink with the statue
It was said that time could wash away everything. However, Bai Xingchen was an exception.
His love for Zi Xuan did not fade away with the passage of time. It remained the same even after the passage of time.
Bai Xingchen stayed in Zi Xuan's room until midnight before dragging her heavy footsteps out.
It was already late at night, but the rain was still falling.
The sound of the rain was particularly clear in the quiet night.
Bai Xingchen returned to the room that was as beautiful as a painting, which was also her previous bedroom, with melancholy and complicated feelings.
Under the soft light, the woman on the bed was sleeping quietly, just like a quietly blooming water lily.
The woman looked very beautiful when she was sleeping, but her slightly furrowed brows made people's hearts ache, as if she was having a sad dream that could not be cut.
Bai Xingchen was not in the mood to do anything else. He silently watched Ruhua, who was sleeping soundly, for a while. Then, he went to the bathroom. When he came back, he took off his clothes and went to bed. He turned off the lights in the room and pulled Ruhua, who was sleeping soundly, into his arms. He closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.
The moment she held the red marriage certificate in her hand, her emotions were extremely complicated. She even felt like crying.
Was she going to marry him just like that?
There was no proposal, no wedding dress, no diamond ring, not even a bouquet of roses.
Ruhua knew that she had no other choice. Her father had already been released from prison, and Yun Fangjian was fine. If she used her marriage to exchange for the safety of her family, it would be worth it. The Yun family had adopted her, and her illness had caused a lot of trouble for the family over the years. No matter how great the kindness of birth was, it was not as great as the kindness of raising her. The doctor said that her congenital heart disease was very serious, and she could only live up to 30 years old. If she could not repay the Yun family for raising her, she would not be able to rest in peace even if she died.
Bai Xingchen's feelings were also complicated. She recalled that six years ago, she and Zi Xuan had registered their marriage at this marriage registration office. Who knew that three days later, they would be separated. She still remembered the bright smile on Zi Xuan's face after getting the marriage certificate. She held his hand and said domineeringly," Bai Xingchen, from now on, you are exclusive to me, Zhou Zixuan."”
The taste of memories was like a cup of bitter coffee. Although a little sugar could be added, it still made people feel haggard.
Bai Xingchen brought Ruhua into the car. The driver, Shi Lei, asked eagerly," Where are you going, Boss?"”
Bai Xingchen pondered for a while before saying," Red Mansion.”
After returning to Red Mansion, Ruhua followed Bai Xingchen to their bedroom upstairs.
When they arrived at the bedroom, Bai Xingchen held Ruhua in her arms. Without saying a word, she lowered her head and kissed her.
The man's passionate and eager kiss made Ruhua panic. Although she was not familiar with this man, Ruhua did not reject him at all. She even liked him a little. Being hugged by him gave her a very special feeling. Could this be the so-called love at first sight?
Just as Ruhua was mesmerized by the man's kiss, the man suddenly stopped. Ruhua took a deep breath and suddenly felt that breathing freely was such a good thing." I contracted the Yuanhe Hotel project to your father's company as a betrothal gift to the Yun family. Are you satisfied?”
"You've already helped our Yun family a lot. CEO Bai, our Yun family will be grateful for your kindness to our Yun family for the rest of our lives.”Ruhua looked at Bai Xingchen solemnly and said sincerely.
The man was a little displeased by Ruhua's official and emotionless words." Call me by my name in the future. You are now my wife, so you don't have to be polite with me."”The man's words sounded very stiff. When Ruhua heard the word 'wife', he felt a pang of sadness in his heart. How could he, Bai Xingchen, treat her as a real wife? She was just a canary. They would never be equal to a normal couple.
Bai Xingchen saw that Ruhua was frowning and not saying anything. She quickly asked," What are you thinking about?”
Ruhua quickly replied," Nothing much. I just didn't expect myself to have such great charm. I actually became the wife of President Bai, Bai Xingchen, who can call the shots in Cloud City. I heard that President Bai is the male god of countless young girls. Many young and beautiful female celebrities are your fans. I, Yun Ruhua, am just an ordinary woman. How can an ordinary woman enter this Red Mansion?”
Bai Xingchen could hear the self-deprecating tone in the other party's words.
"Perhaps in the eyes of others, you are indeed ordinary, but your face is priceless to me.”As the man spoke, his long fingers reached out and gently held her picturesque chin. His deep eyes focused on her facial features as if he was looking at a famous painting.
Ruhua understood that she was just a substitute for the dead man. The man's gentleness towards her was not because he liked her.
"In the afternoon, Ruhua went home to pack her luggage. Bai Xingchen specially asked Shi Lei to drive her back to the Yun family.
When they got off the car, Ruhua politely thanked Shi Lei.
Shi Lei said lightly," Hurry up. Boss said that you're only allowed to stay at home for an hour.”
There was only an hour left. Ruhua knew that time was tight, so she hurried to the opposite building.
Ruhua took the elevator to the eighth floor, her home. She opened the door and saw Grandma, Dad, and Mom in the living room. They seemed to be discussing something.
"Huahua, I want to know how you got me out of prison.”Yun Zhonghe looked at Ruhua with a serious expression. At this time, Madam Yun and Old Lady Yun also focused their gazes on Ruhua.
Ruhua thought for a moment and said," I'm friends with Bai Xingchen. When I fainted by the roadside at the resort, he saved me. Dad, Grandma, don't worry, I won't do anything to embarrass the Yun family. Also, Dad, the Bai family is preparing to hand over the Yuanhe Hotel project to Yunfang. You have to seize this opportunity to make a comeback. I'll go find my sister in two days.”
"Why would Bai Xingchen spare no effort to help you? Huahua, tell Daddy, did you have a deal?”Yun Zhonghe, who had been through many things, would not be fooled by Ruhua's simple explanation. He knew that the Bai family was not to be trifled with. Ruhua could not rely on his so-called friendship with Bai Xingchen to get the other party to solve such a big problem for him. Moreover, he had even handed over such a big project as the Yuanhe Restaurant to the Yun family.
Yun Zhonghe was afraid that Ruhua had something to hide, so he specially called Ruhua to the study.
Facing her father's questions, Ruhua didn't know how to answer. She wasn't someone who would lie. Now that there were only her and her father in the room, she decided not to hide anything." Father, actually, Bai Xingchen and I are already married, but he doesn't want me to reveal our identities. So, after this matter is out, don't tell anyone else." Including Grandma and Mom."
To Yun Zhonghe, this news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.
"For the Yun family, for Dad, how can you sacrifice your entire life's happiness? Huahua, I can't implicate you. Go and get a divorce with Bai Xingchen now. I'd rather Yunfang Construction go bankrupt or spend the rest of my life in prison than let you suffer.”
Ruhua looked at his father's excited gaze and his slightly weathered face, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings." Dad, I'm not wronged. I like Bai Xingchen. I fell in love with him at first sight, and he also felt the same way towards me. We love each other. Dad, as long as you and Grandma can draw safely, you will be happy. Dad, for the sake of drawing well, you don't have to ask about this anymore. Run the company well and let Grandma be happy every day. If you blow this matter up, it will be harmful to our Yun family. It's impossible for you to not know the Bai family's power and Bai Xingchen's character.”
Yun Zhonghe sighed helplessly and pulled Ruhua into his arms." Huahua, I've let you down."”
Father Yun swore that he would never mention Ruhua and Bai Xingchen's relationship to anyone. Only then would Ruhua be at ease. He then went to his room to pack his luggage. When it was about time, Ruhua would bid farewell to his family.
"Huahua, why don't you stay at home? Where are you going?" Grandma Yun held Ruhua's hand and asked worriedly.
Looking at Grandma's wrinkled and loving face, she had the urge to cry, but she tried her best to keep calm." Grandma, don't worry. I found a job and I need to work overtime often. The company is far from home, so I rented a house near the company. Tingting's house is next to mine. She will take care of me.”Ruhua didn't know if her pale lie could fool her grandmother, but she still had to say it.
Yun Zhonghe quickly stepped forward to help Ruhua." Mom, don't worry. Huahua is no longer a child. It's time for her to be independent."”
Ruhua left the house with her simple luggage and Shi Lei was still waiting for her.
After getting into the car, Ruhua asked Shi Lei, who was wearing a seat belt," Has Brother Shi been with Bai Xingchen for a long time?”
Shi Lei replied without turning his head," Yes, I followed Boss when he was fifteen. Later, when Boss went abroad to study, I became his bodyguard.”
"Does Bai Xingchen have a bad temper?”Ruhua asked weakly. Since Shi Lei had been with Bai Xingchen for such a long time, he must know his temperament like the back of his hand. She needed to understand more about Bai Xingchen from him so that she could get along with the two of them in the future. Ruhua's circle of friends also had flash marriages, but none of them were as short as him and Bai Xingchen. They had only met twice before they got married. Many girls who got married in a flash marriage had unfortunate marriages. Ruhua understood that her marriage with Bai Xingchen was a transaction. After two years, he would be him, and I would be me. In the future, they would go their separate ways. However, Ruhua still hoped that her life with Bai Xingchen would be better during the two years she was with him. That was the need to know yourself and know your enemy.
