It was almost dark. Ruan Dongyang sat in his office and looked at the setting sun. Winter was coming and the days were getting shorter. Thinking about the days when the sun " baked " her in the heat, she still preferred winter. Perhaps it was because her name had the word " winter " in it, she especially liked the clean and cold air in winter, which would make people sober.
"I really envy you unmarried people.”Chen Lanxiang carried her bag and walked into the vice president's office.
"You think we have more freedom?"
"Isn't it? You don't have to go home directly after work. You can go wherever you want. You can stay as late as you want. There's no need to report. No one will care if you buy and eat crazily.”
"Then why did you get married?" Ruan Dongyang looked at her with amusement.
"I don't know why I got married either. I'm stupid! She wanted to get married because she was not clear-headed enough.”
"Aren't you used to it now? At least he wouldn't feel lonely when he got home. It was lively with more people.”
"Yeah! Lively? When you get married and have a child, you will know that the feeling is not lively, but noisy, so noisy that you wish you could stuff the child back into your stomach.”Chen Lanxiang never felt that it was a sweet burden.
"There are times when you are happy, right?”When the child was sweet-talking to you, when the child was babbling, when the child was improving day by day, when the child was sleeping…
"I'm very tired most of the time." Chen Lanxiang sighed.
After complaining, she still had to go home and do everything she needed to do. Chen Lanxiang dragged her tired footsteps and said goodbye to Ruan Dongyang listlessly.
It was time for her to leave. The sun had completely disappeared on the other side of the horizon. Ruan Dongyang told herself to give up on something that she had decided to give up! Don't raise the flag anymore.
The outcome of not seeing the truth clearly was losing one's dignity.
She shook her head and walked towards the bus stop.
There were a lot of people waiting for the bus, especially those who were on the same route as her. It was not difficult to kill time while thinking about something.
The first bus came and left, but she stood there without moving. Up until now, she had already watched the third bus leave the station. She thought that it was best not to squeeze on the bus when she was in a bad mood because it was easy to offend people, so she did not want to take any of them until the empty bus arrived.
After waiting for a long time, she finally got what she wanted.
She got into the car and sat in the second seat behind the driver. She looked at her watch. It was 9:48. Wow! She waited for a total of three hours and eighteen minutes.
As expected, unmarried people had more freedom. Which career woman or married woman could wait for bus after bus until she was happy to take it like her?
It couldn't be helped. The predecessors said that marriage was like a siege. The people inside wanted to come out, and the people outside wanted to go in.
After getting out of the car, her heart beat faster for no reason. Her heart was the most honest, telling her that she was actually looking forward to seeing him standing guard downstairs again.
Ruan Dongyang closed his eyes and shook his head, muttering to himself,""Useless! Useless! Ruan Dongyang, can you stop being such a good-for-nothing?”
It was a dreamless night.
The next day, Ruan Dongyang woke up. The weather was good and it was the weekend. Ruan Dongyang planned to go out for a walk. She knocked on Feng Xinyan's door, but there was no response. Then, she checked the shoe cabinet to see if there were any shoes that Feng Xinyan had worn yesterday.
It was not unusual for her to not return for a night. Now, she might as well not show up the next day.
Who was it that made Xinyan change?
She changed into her slippers and walked to the nearby park for a walk. The autumn morning was especially beautiful and filled with poetry.
" Eh, you're Ruan Dongyang?"
The woman who was walking the dog called out to her. Hearing the familiar voice, she turned around.
"Lady Boss!"
"Yeah, I live nearby. You moved here too?”Wang Xiuzhu smiled at her kindly.
"This is the new address I gave you last time!”She still owed Wang Xiuzhu 200,000 yuan, so every time she moved to a new place, she would tell her her phone number and address.
"Oh, how can I remember so much? I'm getting old, and my memory is getting worse.”
"How are you old?" Ruan Dongyang squatted down and teased the doberman that Wang Xiuzhu was holding.
"It doesn't matter. I'm not that afraid of old age now.”
"Isn't the lady boss staying with her relatives in Kaohiung?”Ruan Dongyang asked.
"I'm married."
Ruan Dongyang looked up in surprise." So fast?”She couldn't help but sigh. Why was the market so good for others to marry again and again?
"I have no choice. Do you remember that my dead ex-husband left me a pile of debts?”
Ruan Dongyang nodded. " 30 million from the underground money house."
"I was almost forced to jump into the river of love and commit suicide. I had no choice but to marry the bank owner!”Wang Xiuzhu smiled faintly.
"Heavens, how did you do it?"This is really amazing.
"Seducing him. It's not difficult to seduce a 70-year-old man. I only used 30% of my strength to lure him into the auditorium.”She said it easily, but in fact, the process was quite thrilling.
"You're really something." She couldn't help but feel impressed.
"If I had a choice, I wouldn't have picked him. He's already halfway into his coffin. Everyone who knows him says that I married him for his money.”
"A lot of resistance?"
"The old man also knows that I love his money. He asked me and I admitted it. Fortunately, I didn't lie to him. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so lucky now.”If she treated him normally, she would get what she wanted instead.
In the past, she had cared too much about Chen Hetian, which was why she was covered in wounds. Now, she did not have such worries.
"Lady Boss, I'll still pay you back the 200,000 I owe you. When my job ends, I'll have about 200,000 yuan.”
"200,000 yuan…there's no need to return it. Someone has already paid it back for you. Wang Xiuzhu smiled.
"That's impossible. None of my friends would do such a thing for me.”Ruan Dongyang shook his head.
"Mr. Fang, did you forget that Big Sister Cheng introduced you to a profitable business? That financial backer, Fang Zu Ao, is a kind person who will repay the money for you.”
She remembered.
"He's really nosy." How was she supposed to repay this favor?
"He didn't come to me, I took the initiative to ask him for help. At that time, I was forced by my debt collectors. I called all the people who could borrow money and had some money, and the answers I got were roughly the same. They were either too busy or too poor. I had no choice but to try to look for Mr. Fang. However, although I was thick-skinned, I didn't dare to ask for too much. I only asked him for the 200,000 yuan you owed me plus a little interest.”
That day, when they parted on bad terms, he mentioned that he had come into contact with the lady boss. Was it because of this?
"I don't know." How infuriating. Now that she owed him 200,000 yuan, would she have to smile at him when they met on a narrow road in the future?
"Mr. Fang is a good person. At least he is willing to fork out this money.”
"That's because he's rich!"
"That might not be the case. I've asked a few rich friends for money, but not many people were willing to lend it to me.”It was only when one owed money that one knew the cold and warm world.
Ruan Dongyang continued to play with the dog. The dog was very obedient. It was not small, but it was very tame. Even she, who did not own a dog, could not help but want to get close to it.
"The previous company is also a law firm now. Ruan Dongyang said.
"I know. She's a female lawyer. Her business is very good.”
"I still don't understand why Lawyer Chen would borrow so much money from an underground money house.”
Wang Xiuzhu heaved a sigh of relief." It's all that woman's fault.”
"Is that woman so cunning?"
"Her family owed a gambling debt of about a few million yuan. After borrowing money from the underground money house, it rolled up to 30 million yuan in a few days.”
Ruan Dongyang had thought that the lady boss was just making things up and slandering her out of hatred, but now that the bank owner had spoken, it should be true.
"Lawyer Chen probably loves her from pity, right?”
"He's already dead, so I can't be bothered to fuss about it.”
Seeing that the lady boss had gotten over it, she was relieved. Of course, since the money issue was resolved, her mood was naturally not too bad.
"This dog is really obedient."
"Yes, the old man's old dog. I talk to it every day now. Dogs are still better. Dogs are more loyal than humans.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
Finally, Wang Xiuzhu said in a friendly manner,"Come to my house when you have time. The old man has decorated the house quite well."”
She gave Ruan Dongyang a phone number.
The dead would not come back, and the living should keep their spirits up and move forward.
"Yes, I will. I will definitely go over when I have time. There's no reason not to contact each other often since we live so close to each other.”Unless she was lazy.
"You won't blame me for the prostitution incident, right?”Wang Xiuzhu had long wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to her. Some things would accumulate into guilt when they were taken to heart.
"What?" Ruan Dongyang couldn't hear her clearly.
"It's about the prostitution!”
This time, Ruan Dongyang heard it clearly. Actually, it wasn't that hard to tell. He could only blame himself for being careless and mistaking the prostitute for a spirit medium.
"It's my own fault." Her ears were not good.
"I'm sorry, but that Mr. Fang is so good. It seems that I'm not too wrong.”
Ruan Dongyang returned her smile, but she only smiled bitterly.
"I almost forgot about that. At that time, the law firm was in a mess. Everyone was at a loss, and it was inevitable that something would happen.”
"It's fine as long as you don't blame me. I've always been brooding over this. After all this, I've thought about it a lot. I used to be too narrow-minded towards you. I didn't expect that God's plan would fail.”
Now, everything was as light as the wind.
Knowing that he owed Fang Zu Ao 200,000 yuan, Ruan Dongyang's heart instantly felt heavy.
She had been muddle-headed for three days, but she still couldn't bring herself to look for him. She hated herself for being so prideful. She had no choice. She just didn't want to show weakness in front of him. That would kill her.
It had been three days, and Feng Xinyan hadn't slept at home. She hadn't even been home for ten minutes.
She pushed open Feng Xinyan's door and froze on the spot.
How could this be?
Other than the bed and the cabinet, there was nothing else.
Even the ornamental plants that Feng Xinyan had bought from Jianguo Flower Market had been moved away.
Yes, Feng Xinyan had moved away.
How could she be so careless? Xinyan had already moved out three days ago, or maybe even earlier.
Did something happen? She dialed Feng Xinyan's phone number, and the voice response was that Feng Xinyan's phone was cut off. This was too strange.
She was busy worrying about her own matters and didn't expect Xinyan to be troubled too. But why did she have to move? And he didn't even tell her.
After being bored for the whole morning, Tan Zuozuo came to look for her during lunch.
"Mr. Ma hasn't given me an answer yet!”
"Oh!" Ruan Dongyang quickly replied. I haven't contacted Cousin Ma for a few days. I'll help you ask him today.”
"Sorry to trouble you."
"Miss Tan, are you willing to date Mr. Ma?”
"She just came back from a holiday in Japan and is in a good mood. I plan to mention this to her tonight, but I want to know if Mr. Ma is willing to do it first, so that we don't have a different pace and Jiaojiao will lose her temper again.”
"Alright, I'll find out today.”
In the end, Ma Sihan's cell phone couldn't be connected either. She called Love Hotel to look for him, but the receptionist told her that Ma Sihan had already resigned.
"When did this happen?" she asked.
"About three or four days!"”
Three or four days? Could it be…
Ma Sihan and Feng Xinyan…
She hung up the phone. She was almost sure that there must be some connection between the two of them leaving without saying goodbye.
Ruan Dongyang could only reply to Tan Zuozuo,""Mr. Ma thinks that he and Miss Tan have different backgrounds, so they are not suitable to live together.”
"Does he mean to refuse?”
"It seems like that's the case. I can't persuade him too much about this kind of thing. If they don't get along well in the future, it will be very troublesome for us 'persuaders'.”
Tan Zuozuo accepted her explanation." You're right. I know Jiaojiao isn't easy to get along with. There aren't many people who can get along with her. Your friend is thinking very far ahead. I respect his considerations.”
"Mr. Tan is a reasonable person."
"By the way, are you familiar with Fang Nian? I know she came to look for you." He suddenly asked Fang Nian.
"Mr. Fang's secretary, Fang Nian?"
He smiled and nodded.
"I guess we're familiar with each other because of Mr. Fang. She could guess what Tan Zuozuo wanted to know.
"Did Fang Nian mention what kind of man she liked?”
"Yes, of course, it can't be someone too bad. To be specific, it's someone like Mr. Fang.”
Tan Zuozuo muttered thoughtfully,""Someone like Zu Ao?"
"Fang Nian is a good girl. If Mr. Tan wants to pursue her, you have to work harder. Her heart is not easy to move.”
"How can I move her?" His knowledge of chasing girls was very weak.
"Sincerity and sincerity."
There were very few women who didn't fall for it.
Ruan Dongyang decided not to remain silent anymore. It was time to face reality. It was not Ruan Dongyang's style to run away like a coward.
She took the initiative to ask Fang Zu Ao out for a meal. This was the first time she had done so. She had always had a high and mighty attitude. How could she do such a thing?
Fang Zu 'ao was naturally shocked. Ruan Dongyang's voice on the phone immediately warmed his heart. He tried for a long time before his breathing stabilized.
When did he start to feel happy because of her voice?
He arrived at the place where the two of them had agreed to meet earlier!! "Cuixiang Lane."
"Have you been here long?" She was ten minutes late.
Fang Zu Ao shook his head."Not long. It's just that I've never waited for anyone."”
"Not used to it?"
"Don't misunderstand. I'm happy to wait for you. It doesn't matter how long I wait.”He quickly explained to her so as not to anger her.
She didn't say anything else and began to order. "What do you want to eat? It's my treat today.”
"My treat, you order." he said.
She glanced at him. "We agreed that I would treat you. Are you looking down on me and thinking that I can't afford to treat you?”
Oh no, she couldn't control her temper anymore!
" Alright, please." He made another concession.
"You order!" She put down the menu.
"I've never been here before. I'll eat whatever you order." He smiled.
"I've never been here before either." She picked up the menu and said," Alright, I'll order. If you let me go any further, the shop will be closed."”
Ruan Dongyang ordered the Stir-Fried Sheep Belly Shreds, Scallion Pancake, Fried Beef with Scallion, Stir-Fried Squid, Water Spinach, and Sauerkraut White Meat Pot.
"Order more if you don't have enough."
"Enough, enough. There are only two of us. We can't eat so much.”
She looked at him hesitantly, as if she was finding it difficult to speak.
"What's the matter?" He was sensitive enough to notice that there was something wrong with her expression.
She nodded. "There is something."
" Speak." He was all ears.
"You…"
He interrupted her,"If you want to break up with me, don't say a word. I don't want to hear it."”
She was stunned." What breakup? Are we dating? What's wrong with you? I've never dated you."
"You want to deny it? We even slept together, how could we not date?”He reminded her unhappily.
She looked around nervously. "Keep your voice down! Don't ruin my reputation. Who slept with you? Don't slander me."
Love Hotel, August 29th, 8:16:27 PM.”
Good heavens, she even remembered the time so clearly.
"Nonsense!"
"You want to deny it?" He stared into her eyes and asked in a deep voice.
She surrendered." Forget it, forget it! Eat, eat!"
The two of them looked at each other as they ate.
"Why are you looking at me when you're eating your food? Can I be full?" She felt very uncomfortable under his gaze.
"A woman who can increase one's appetite and is delicious is the best." He said with a double meaning.
"Pervert!" She glanced at him.
Fang Zu Ao smiled and scooped a bowl of soup for her."It tastes good. How do you know the food here is good if you haven't eaten here before?”
"A friend introduced me." She accepted his service and took a sip of the soup.
"What friend?"
"Why do you care so much? Besides, you wouldn't know me even if I told you."
"If you don't introduce me, of course I won't. Actually, I'm not as bad as you think.”
Ruan Dongyang didn't reply and buried her head in her food. This man was too good at pleasing women. She had to be careful, or else she would accidentally walk into his " peach blossom array " and she wouldn't be able to climb out!
"Do you want more dishes?" She was full.
He shook his head." No need. I can't eat so much."”
"Didn't you say that I'm the most appetizing? Why did he say he was full when he didn't eat much? Looks like you're lying to me, right? You said those words on purpose to please me.”
He knew that she had always been eloquent.
"How would I dare to lie in front of you? Instead, you eat as little as a sparrow. Eat more!”
"Are you going to pay me to lose weight?”She teased him jokingly.
"I can still afford this small amount of money."
"I'll pay you back the money I owe you slowly.”
He didn't expect her to bring this up. "Did Wang Xiuzhu tell you?"
"Yes, she married the owner of the underground money house and is now debt-free. She lives near the house I rented.”
"I didn't ask you to pay me back."
"It's normal to owe money and pay it back. 200,000 yuan isn't too much.”
"Why do you have to be so clear with me?”He put down his chopsticks.
She couldn't help but laugh." What kind of weird question is that? Of course, I have to make it clear to you. Don't tell me that you don't have to return the money when others borrow money from you?”
"You are not just anyone."
"If it's not someone else, then what is it?" She wanted to know his answer.
"You are mine." He had repeatedly emphasized this matter, but why was she still indifferent?
Ruan Dongyang trembled because of this sentence.
"I'm not your woman. Please don't be so mushy. Smushy words really don't work on me. It's better for us to distinguish clearly.”
He was a little discouraged. "You're so ruthless."
"Eh?"
"I said, you're so ruthless." he repeated, this time with more emphasis.
"Isn't it? We should have a clear distinction so that we won't be embarrassed when we meet in the future.”
Suddenly, he stood up and walked to the counter with an ugly expression. Then, he turned around and left.#
