C295 You're Lying to Yourself
Yang Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry and asked, "Why would you ask that? It's not like I have to go back."
"You're not coming home tonight?" Qiangwei was a little surprised. "But it's already like this during the day. If you don't go home …"
"So what? There is still half a year left, and it will pass in a blink of an eye. I think she doesn't want to see me right now either. After all, she isn't the same type of person. Sooner or later, she will walk a different path." Yang Chen made up his mind. He picked up his phone and dialed his home number. He told Nanny Wang that he wouldn't be home tonight, so he didn't explain the reason.
Qiangwei had a complicated expression on her face as she sighed, "To be honest, from my private point of view, I want you to separate from her. Even if I never wanted to be your wife, I still don't think it's good for you to do something like this all of a sudden. "
Yang Chen reached out to pinch Qiangwei's cheek, "Don't think too much about it. Actually, all of this went wrong from the beginning, is it not so?"
Qiangwei did not say anything. There was a sad look on her face. It was unknown if it was for Yang Chen, Lin Ruoxi, or herself.
"Today you met her. Although it was a bit awkward, it was an opportunity for her to give up on me." After Yang Chen said this, for some reason, his heart felt heavy. Shaking his head, he patted Qiangwei's face, unwilling to think any further. He said, "Baby, get up. After dinner, we'll do some serious work."
"Business?"
Qiangwei was slightly stunned for a moment. Then, she thought of what "proper business" meant. She blushed and slapped Yang Chen's chest a few times. Then, she forgot how much trouble she was in.
The winter night had arrived much earlier.
As Lin Ruoxi drove home, her face was slightly pale, and her figure was slightly exhausted as she got off the car.
Seeing the warm lights in the house, her expression was somewhat complicated.
Is that man back yet? How could she meet him after what had happened in the day? Ignore him? Curse him? Or was she pretending to be normal?
Lin Ruoxi tightly-knit her brows in distress, but couldn't think of a reason.
Hadn't she made up her mind without the slightest hesitation back then to just pretend to be husband and wife? Why was she feeling more and more uneasy about his future leaving her?
There was still half a year left, but it had only been a day, and her heart ached so much that it was about to die.
That damnable man was trying to show off to me. Was he trying to tell me how amazing he was!?
Lin Ruoxi walked into the room muddle-headedly, smelling the fragrant scent of food. Nanny Wang had already prepared the food, but the man was nowhere to be seen.
"Miss, you're back. Young Master has matters to attend to so he won't be coming home tonight. It's just the two of us, so we didn't prepare anything." Nanny Wang said with a smile.
Lin Ruoxi was stunned. "He's not coming home?"
"Yeah, I just called," Nanny Wang said.
"Oh …" Lin Ruoxi felt wronged, and her heart ached. He didn't even want to make a phone call and brazenly told her that he had spent the night with another woman and wouldn't go home?
After half a year, he was already so impatient!?
Lin Ruoxi's face became haggard again. She silently sat down and ate with Nanny Wang.
Under the bright yellow light, the scene of the two women eating seemed to have returned to that desolate time.
They ate in less than half an hour. Nanny Wang tidied up the dishes by herself. Seeing that Lin Ruoxi wanted to help, she immediately said, "Miss, you don't look too good. You must be tired from work. Why don't you go upstairs and take a shower first?"
"It's alright, Nanny Wang. I'll help you." Lin Ruoxi shook her head.
At that moment, the doorbell rang.
Lin Ruoxi put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands. A flash of happiness appeared in her eyes as she ran to the door and opened it.
The person who stood at the door wasn't someone she had expected, but a familiar person. It was Cai Yan, dressed in casual clothes.
Lin Ruoxi was slightly disappointed, but she still asked with a smile, "Yanyan, why did you come so late at night? Come in quickly."
Cai Yan wore a beige white down jacket. Under her short black hair, her heroic and enchanting oval face appeared especially fair and beautiful.
Noticing that Lin Ruoxi's complexion wasn't looking too good, Cai Yan walked into the room and sighed softly. "I heard from my sister that you already know a lot of things, right?"
That day, Cai Ning came home and told her about Lin Ruoxi's revenge from Zeng Xinlin and Xu Zhihong. Since things had come to this, there was no need for her to hide it too much. After all, they were both related to each other. She probably hoped that Cai Yan would be able to comfort Lin Ruoxi as a good sister.
Lin Ruoxi nodded and forced a smile. "I'm fine. No need to come visit me."
"How could it be all right? Your face is already skinny, and your complexion is so bad," Cai Yan said with dissatisfaction as she looked around the hall. "Where's that bad guy?"
Lin Ruoxi felt a pang in her heart. "He has something to attend to tonight. He's not coming back."
"What!?" Cai Yan was furious. "What can happen to him? How can he be like this? Such a terrifying thing has happened and you're already so haggard. Is he still not going to return home tonight?"
Lin Ruoxi pulled Cai Yan to the living room and sat on the sofa. She made tea for Cai Yan as she said, "Don't worry about him. Just do whatever he wants. I feel quiet when he isn't here."
Cai Yan looked at Lin Ruoxi with a nonchalant expression, but every word she spoke was filled with difficulty. She couldn't help but pull Lin Ruoxi's hand, inviting her to sit beside her.
"Ruoxi, tell me the truth, what happened to you two? You're not the kind of person who would be scared like this just because of a dead person. Your current appearance scared me so much, what the hell happened to you!?" Cai Yan asked nervously, as if Lin Ruoxi's sudden change was hard for her to accept.
Lin Ruoxi's eyes reddened slightly. "It's fine. I just didn't get a good rest. We're really fine."
Cai Yan was getting anxious. "Why are you alright?" Ever since I was young, I've never seen you so listless! Even when Granny Lin died back then, you didn't have such a low will. Did you know that!? You are now like a soulless shell. When I first saw you, I almost couldn't recognize you! When you saw me just now, your eyes were clearly filled with disappointment. It's because the person who returned home was not Yang Chen, right? You must be very sad. Why don't you say it out? Why do you have to bear all this alone!? If you really want to accept him and love him, you have to tell him! "
"What use is there in me wanting to accept him!?"
Lin Ruoxi suddenly raised her head, unable to control her emotions, and looked at Cai Yan with sparkling eyes.
"In half a year, according to him, in half a year, all of this will come to an end. But within a day he was dating other women in front of me, and he told me so clearly that he was spending the night with other women instead of going home, and that he was determined to leave the house, and that he didn't want to have anything to do with me. " Lin Ruoxi smiled sadly. "I don't want to hide it from you anymore. You'll know about this in half a year."
Cai Yan was stunned. "What do you mean, half a year?"
Lin Ruoxi wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. She told Yang Chen about the time she signed the marriage contract. However, she didn't tell him that she lost her virginity to him that night. She only said that they met due to small accidents.
"In other words, your marriage is all fake, right?" Cai Yan's mind was greatly shaken, as if she was in a dream.
"Yes, but it doesn't matter if it's true or false. Since he's already like this, then let's just wait for half a year and let it all end!" Lin Ruoxi said coldly.
"You're lying to yourself," Cai Yan said, looking at Lin Ruoxi pityingly. "If you really don't care anymore, then you won't be in such pain, and you won't want to wait half a year. Ruoxi, why don't you fight for it?"
"I'm just lost." Lin Ruoxi's face turned cold. "Yanyan, you know what? He's in front of me today, carrying shoes for other women. For a man like him, even in death, I won't like him. Don't worry, I'll be fine in two days. You don't need to worry."
Cai Yan's pretty face slightly changed. She felt uncomfortable inside, but when she saw Lin Ruoxi's determined look, she could not say anything else. With a sigh, she didn't know how to comfort her.
After that, they chatted about family matters for a while. Cai Yan then took the initiative to leave early so that Lin Ruoxi could go to bed early.
After bidding Lin Ruoxi farewell, she walked out of the villa and returned to her Audi. Cai Yan was unable to calm down for a long time.
As long as she thought about the fact that the marriage between Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi was just a contract and not real, Cai Yan could not suppress the repressed feelings in her heart because of their friendship.
It turned out that everything was fake. He didn't sleep with Lin Ruoxi at all, everything was just an empty shell. No wonder he was still flirting with other women-- Cai Yan quickly thought through the unreasonable things before, but her feelings for Yang Chen came surging up like floodwaters.
Even if she felt that she had let Lin Ruoxi down. But there was always a selfish side to people, not to mention a woman in front of love, wasn't there?
However, Cai Yan gritted her teeth in anger when she thought about Yang Chen rejecting her gift the other day.
"Just you wait, I won't give up so easily." Cai Yan muttered to herself before driving away.
