Du Lirong turned and walked away without even looking at me. I sat in my original position and stared at her back.

No. I replied.

I looked up at the towel and saw an unfamiliar face. He was the waiter.

I wiped my hair, fought back tears, folded the towel, put it on the table, and left.

There will be more and more of this in the future.

Just as I left, my phone rang. The call came from Cheng Ruojun's office, my heart skipped a beat. Could it be that something happened over there?

"Hello." I said, trying to sound as calm as possible.

"Cheng Tun has asked you to come to his office." The voice on the other end of the phone is Tao Man, her voice is just like before, official and cold, but I will never forget how she acted like a spoiled child while lying in Ruo Ruo's arms.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"You'll know when you get here." Tao Man said politely, "Mrs. Cheng, I have other things to do, I will hang up first." She hung up.

I listened blankly to the busy tone on the phone. 'Did something happen over there?' He had never contacted me in this way before.

I suppressed all the bad associations in my heart and immediately drove to the company.

When I arrived at the entrance of the office, I immediately saw Tao Man. She had changed a little compared to before, and although she was still wearing her business attire, the color had become even more bright than before. Furthermore, there were also some ornaments added on her clothes.

"Mrs. Cheng, you're here." she said, in a slightly subtle tone.

They must have slept. I thought.

He must have slept that night.

I can't smile at her anymore. Maybe the reason why Du Lirong came to find me today and spoke so determinedly was because of Tao Man.

I wanted to talk to her in her usual tone, but I couldn't.

"Yes." I stiffly agreed and walked in.

I stood at the door and closed it, staring at Cheng Ruojun. After what happened previously, I felt terrified just by looking at this office.

Cheng Ruojun raised his head from the document and looked at me. He smiled at me for a moment, then waved his hand and said gently, "Come here."

I looked at Cheng Ruojun, and slowly moved towards his direction. At the same time, I observed his face carefully.

"Hurry over." "No," he said.

I pursed my lips and hurried over to him. He grabbed my hand and pulled me into his arms.

"Ruo Ruo, what's wrong?" I asked him.

He put his chin on my shoulder and said, "You're mine, you know that?"

"... I am. " I hesitated, then said, The Ruo today is too unusual.

"I will give you happiness." he said again.

"Yes."

"You won't betray me, will you?" he said again.

I was about to say yes, but then I remembered the afternoon I'd slept with a stranger.

"You won't betray me, will you?" I saw his eyes were bloodshot, and they frightened me.

"... "I won't."

"I'll always love you." "I'll give you everything."

When he hugged me again, I thought he was crying.

I reached out and stroked Ruo's hair and back.

Cheng Ruojun, I have nowhere to go, I only have you.

"Let's go home today." Cheng Ruojun raised his head and said that he had regained his rationality.

"Hmm?" I wanted him to say more, but he wouldn't speak again.

"Ruo Ruo, what happened?" I asked him carefully.

He looked at me, his eyes unreadable, and said, "You'll know when you get home."

I looked at Cheng Ruojun, who was buried in the document, and his heart immediately softened. I asked, "Ruo Ruo, are you still looking for a woman?"

He sneered and said, "I don't think we need to look for her anymore." The chill in his voice frightened me.

We stayed in his office for an hour before we left. Cheng Ruojun seemed to have been adjusting his mood.

From the way Cheng Ruojun and Du Lirong were acting, there must be something huge happening at home.

We stood in front of his door, but Cheng Ruojun did not go in. His hands were held very tightly, as if he was suppressing something. His eyes were filled with dense darkness.

Finally, he seemed to have calmed his emotions. A smile appeared on his slightly pale face, but it was an extremely terrifying smile.

He took my hand and rang the bell.

The door opened immediately, and I was surprised to find that it was Du Lirong who opened the door. However, her mental state was even worse than when I first saw her, she seemed to be in a trance, her eyes lit up when she saw Cheng Ruojun. Her lips moved as though she wanted to say something, but in the end, she could only say one sentence.

Cheng Ruojun nodded and pulled me in.

I discovered that the atmosphere in the house was a little different. The Sister Zheng who was always following Du Lirong had disappeared without a trace, and the furnishings in the hall were different as well. It seemed that there were a few more things that were popular nowadays.

I thought about what Du Lirong said about getting pregnant last time. Did that woman, who was outside Cheng Ruojun's father, manage to get married?

Although I felt that this idea was absurd, I was still a little gloating in my heart. I really hoped that Du Lirong could taste the pain that I had suffered before.

"Where is he?" Cheng Ruojun asked. His tone was no different than usual and he had already adjusted his emotions.

Du Lirong glanced at him and said, "In the study room."

"What is Dad going to do?" Cheng Ruojun said.

"I didn't know that old man thought that." Du Lirong said fiercely, "He's obviously already a cripple."

When Cheng Ruojun heard this, he immediately glanced at her and said, "That's because he's sick."

As I listened to their conversation, I felt that there was a lot of information. They were probably talking about something very important, but I couldn't understand it at all. It might not be as simple as I imagined it would be.

"I won't give up." Cheng Ruojun suddenly said, his voice was light but firm.

Just then, I suddenly heard the door open. Cheng Ruojun and Du Lirong stopped talking, and looked towards the stairs at the same time.

I saw Cheng Ruojun's father first. He was just as serious as before, but there was a hint of joy in the corners of his eyes. Then, I saw the person following behind him.

I took a step back. I never thought I'd see him here.
