Bai Xingchen stood up from the sofa in anger when she heard the word " throw it away." She grabbed Ruhua's collar and questioned loudly," Why did you throw it away?”
Ruhua replied calmly," Because the wind chime was too old and it looked awkward to me, so I threw it away. I wanted to hang the paper crane that I folded.”
"Bring it back." Bai Xingchen glared at this woman who was neither servile nor overbearing. At this moment, his anger had already reached the top of his roof. This damned woman actually threw away the paper wind chime that Xuanxuan folded. How could he allow this?
If Bai Xingchen's eyes were spitting fire, then Ruhua would be like charcoal in his eyes.
If Bai Xingchen's eyes were like lightning strikes, then the painting would be shattered in his eyes.
Facing Bai Xingchen's fury, she was afraid. She was a timid woman, afraid of thunder and the sound of a truck on the road. However, facing Bai Xingchen's anger, she tried her best to appear calm." The thing has been thrown into the roadside trash can and was cleaned up by the garbage collector, so I can't find it. It's just a string of wind chimes. I'll fold an identical one for you and hang it up."”
Bai Xingchen's slap landed on his face.
The burning pain on her cheek made Ruhua cry uncontrollably." Bai Xingchen, how dare you hit a woman? You're not a man."
Ruhua covered her left cheek with one hand and struggled to open the man's restraint. Then, she wanted to rush out.
"It won't be that easy if you want to leave." Bai Xingchen caught up to Ruhua in a few steps and pulled him into her arms." Bai Xingchen, let go, let go."”No matter how Ruhua struggled, her body was firmly stuck in the man's arms, unable to move at all.
This was the first time Bai Xingchen had ever hit a woman. How could he not be angry when Xuanxuan's belongings were thrown away? His emotions had won over his rationality, causing him to slap her without hesitation. However, he regretted it after he slapped her. Looking at the crystal tears rolling down Ruhua's stubborn face, Bai Xingchen felt as if his heart was about to break.
Bai Xingchen hoped that Ruhua would be a woman who was submissive and easy to deal with, but she was not.
Ruhua, who had been slapped by Bai Xingchen, felt extremely wronged. She knew that she had no right to flare up at Bai Xingchen. She was his wife in name, but in reality, she was only his ex-wife's shadow. Who would really care about a shadow's feelings?
Ruhua still did not want to let this matter pass, so she decided to have a cold war with Bai Xingchen. Ruhua did not go downstairs for dinner, nor did she take the initiative to talk to Bai Xingchen. Bai Xingchen also knew that she should not have hit him. Who asked him to destroy Xuanxuan's paper wind chime? Thinking about it, Bai Xingchen felt that it was only natural for Ruhua to be slapped by her.
After dinner, Bai Xingchen went to the study room and stayed there for three hours before coming out. However, when she saw that there was nothing in the bedroom, she went downstairs.
Ruhua was making tea in the living room downstairs.
Ruhua was a woman who knew the art of tea. Every time she brewed tea, she would deliberately wear a wide-sleeved long robe. Her sleeves were gently rolled up, revealing her slender hands that were like tender bamboo shoots. Her soft and boneless hands gently held the teapot, and the tea that was emitting a faint fragrance flowed rhythmically from the teapot into the blue and white porcelain bowl.
Bai Xingchen stood on the stairs and stared at Ruhua for a very long time, intoxicated by her calm and elegant demeanor.
It took Bai Xingchen a long time to regain her senses. She walked down the stairs quietly and came to Ruhua's side." Drinking tea at night will cause insomnia.”The man's magnetic voice was particularly clear in the silent night.
Ruhua slowly turned her head and looked at the man who was also looking at her." I drank light tea with calming jasmine in it. I won't lose sleep."”
"Can I have a cup?" Bai Xingchen sat down next to Ruhua.
Ruhua didn't answer. Instead, he picked up the teapot and poured a bowl for her.
Bai Xingchen picked up the teacup and took a whiff. The fragrance was alluring. She hurriedly took a sip and felt a lingering aftertaste.
Bai Xingchen usually drank more coffee and tea, mainly because she didn't have the leisure to drink cup after cup. She herself didn't know much about tea either.
Bai Xingchen quickly finished a bowl and asked Ruhua for more. Ruhua gave him another bowl.
"I want more. " Bai Xingchen once again handed the empty teacup to Ruhua. He never thought that tea could be so delicious. It was as if he was addicted to it.
"I remember that in 'Dream of the Red Chamber', Miaoyu said that this tea is tasted in one cup. The second cup is used to quench one's thirst, and the third cup is used to drink horses.”She swallowed her words and winked at the man playfully.
Bai Xingchen immediately understood that this girl was using all sorts of methods to scold her." How dare you scold me? I'll teach you a lesson later."”Before Ruhua could react, she was carried up from the sofa by the man." Put me down. I still have to tidy up the tea set."”Bai Xingchen whispered into Ruhua's ear," It's alright. Aunt Liu will clean it up tomorrow morning."”
Ruhua struggled at first, but she knew that she couldn't do it, so she let the man carry her upstairs.
Of course, Ruhua knew what the man wanted to do next. Thinking about what was going to happen later, Ruhua could not help but feel embarrassed and afraid.
When she reached the bedroom, Ruhua was gently put down by the man. The man immediately went straight to the point." Bai Xingchen, you hit me a few hours ago and now you want me to do that kind of thing. I don't want it."”Ruhua instinctively avoided the man.
Bai Xingchen's face stiffened." If you feel uncomfortable, you can return the favor. Just give me a slap."”
Ruhua pouted." I'm not as uncultured as you. You're not a man at all when you hit a woman.”
Bai Xingchen was furious that the other party had called her a man," Don't you know if I'm a man or not? Since you didn't count, I'll let you know now whether I'm a man or not.”
After being tortured by Bai Xingchen several times, Ruhua felt as if her body had been shattered into pieces.
Bai Xingchen looked at the tearful Yun Ruhua and couldn't bear to see her. Although she was only Zi Xuan's shadow, she wasn't worthy of her compassion. There were many women who dreamed of becoming a stunner in Bai Xingchen's hands, but Yun Ruhua didn't know how lucky she was.
"Baby, don't cry. You're making me uncomfortable.”Bai Xingchen couldn't turn a blind eye to her tears. She even felt a little guilty when she saw how sad she was.
Feeling guilty, Bai Xingchen hugged Ruhua and coaxed her, then used a gentle kiss to wipe away her tears.
No matter how hard Bai Xingchen tried, she could not stop Ruhua from crying.
Other than the physical pain, Ruhua was also upset. No matter what, she said that Bai Xingchen's wife was not a tool for him to vent his desires. He treated her like an animal that had no feelings for her. He did not care about her and only cared about venting. Ruhua, who was proud and arrogant, could not stand such abuse from a man.
Bai Xingchen saw that he couldn't coax Ruhua and was a little anxious. He thought about it and then picked up a set of pajamas for Ruhua to wear. He also put on his pajamas and carried Ruhua out of the bedroom with tears all over her face.
Bai Xingchen brought Ruhua to her study room. The study room was opposite the bedroom, but Ruhua had never entered it.
Bai Xingchen placed Ruhua down gently and turned on the light. The warm light spread out and the entire study was bathed in a warm color.
Bai Xingchen held her picturesque little hand and came to the bookshelf by the window.
"I know you like reading. I have a lot of books here.”
Through her tears, Ruhua saw two three-story bookshelves that were as tall as a person filled with books. Ruhua subconsciously stopped crying and began to browse through the books in front of her.
The two bookshelves were filled with books, but they were all categorized. There was a special layer for ancient Chinese history, a layer for ancient Chinese literature, a layer for foreign classics, and a layer for contemporary literature. Natural science was placed together, politics and military were placed together, and economics and legal system were placed together. Some books were yellowed and looked old, while some were brand new and had a sense of humor.
When Bai Xingchen saw Ruhua's tears turn into a smile, he heaved a long sigh of relief.
"Can I read all these books?" Ruhua pointed at the bookshelf and asked weakly, her eyes full of desire.
Bai Xingchen nodded." You're the mistress of this house. I've said that you can go anywhere except the room with the seal.”
Ruhua was about to take out a famous British novel that she had always wanted to read but had not bought, but her hand was held by Bai Xingchen." I still have something to give you."”Ruhua silently followed Bai Xingchen to the table where the man usually read and wrote.
Bai Xingchen picked up a white box from the ground, opened it, and placed the contents on the table.
It was a laptop.
"I know you like to write, but it's inconvenient to use a desktop computer to write things. This is for you. When your manuscript is finished, I'll help you contact the publishing company.”Ruhua looked at the serious Bai Xingchen in surprise." How did you know that I like writing?”
Bai Xingchen smiled faintly and replied in a domineering tone," I, Bai Xingchen, will never marry a woman I don't even know.”
There were a lot of things on the table in front of her. She glanced at the pile of photos inadvertently and saw a familiar black and white photo. She casually took the black and white photo and took a closer look. She recognized the person in the photo.
"Bai Xingchen, why do you have a photo of my aunt?”It was incredible to find his aunt's picture here. The woman in the photo looked to be in her twenties. She was wearing an ancient costume and her figure and facial features were impeccable.
When Bai Xingchen heard that the woman in the photo was his aunt, he immediately became alert." What's your aunt's name?”
