CH 23.1

Name:My Groom Ran Away Author:
Ruan Zhiyin was a little puzzled. From her memories of high school, she could not recall Cheng Yuelin being close to any girls.

He had such a poor personality, the only person who would be around him was Qian Fan. Ruan Zhiyin also did not think he and Qian Fan had any special “relationship”. The atmosphere between the two was quite normal.

Since Cheng Yuelin could not forget his first love, why would he be willing to take up the burden of being a married man and entering this contract marriage with her?

She was surprised for a long time before she tentatively said, “So your first love…”

“Has already gotten married.”

After speaking, Cheng Yuelin reached over and took the bracelet from Ruan Zhiyin’s hand. He put it back in its original space.

Ruan Zhiyin saw his actions and thought back to his low mood in the living room. She sighed. “Then you… take care.”

She could not tell how much Cheng Yuelin cared about this and his ink black eyes gazed at her. “Take care? Then, in your eyes, do you think I have a chance?”

Ruan Zhiyin bit her lips and thought she should not try to tell him to not be too stubborn. He should not interfere with a married couple’s relationship.

“Honestly…” Just as she opened her mouth, she noticed the man’s gloomy mood. She quickly changed the words she was about to say. “I heard the divorce rate is quite high these days. You should not be too discouraged.”

Cheng Yuelin had been smoking due to a low mood just now. She did not want to hit him while he was down. Thinking of this, she decided to persuade him slowly.

“But this first love of mine, I don’t think she can get divorced.”

Cheng Yuelin’s eyes gazed at her slowly. His emotions were hidden in the depths of his eyes. Ruan Zhiyin thought of his gloomy mood again and decided to continue…

“Nothing is certain in this world. You can see all those celebrity husbands and wives. They say they will be together forever, but in the end, they would still end up divorced. Maybe after a few years, they would say they got married to their first love again.”

“While they are still married, you should not interfere. If she really does one day get divorced and you are also single, then anything is possible.”

After Cheng Yuelin heard her words, he laughed. “Then that is simple. The day she gets divorced… then I would naturally also be single.”

But he continued to say, “But I still think there is no possibility of her getting a divorce.”

Ruan Zhiyin felt that Cheng Yuelin was expressing that the relationship between his first love and her husband must be very good. She bit her lips and could only pick out a few of his good points to say, “It’s good that you have good points that most men don’t have. Don’t be too discouraged.”

“Hm? What good points?”

“You’re handsome. A lot of women appreciate handsome men. As the saying goes, going from frugal to extravagant is easy, but going from extravagant to frugal is much more difficult. If she was used to looking at you all the time before… You can’t help but compare, and honestly, who could compare to you?”

If you could ignore his aloof and annoying personality, Cheng Yuelin really had a very handsome face.

Even though his terrible temper was well known, during Valentine’s Day, he would still receive quite a few anonymous love letters. There were some girls that were too scared to give it themselves, they would even ask her to pass it over. When he first received them, his mood could still be considered pretty good. But when he got a few more, his personality got colder, and he refused to accept them.

When Ruan Zhiyin finished speaking, she could only apologize to his first love in her heart. She did not want to judge someone by just their appearance.

But if she were to say that Cheng Yuelin really did not have a chance, then it would basically be hitting him while he was down—which would not be good at all.

Thinking of his words from earlier, Ruan Zhiyin’s attitude became even more earnest. “Believe in yourself, you have lots of good points.”

When Cheng Yuelin heard her words, his brows rose again, and he had a slight smile. “Okay, I know.” At this moment, his expression continued to be calm and unperturbed.

Ruan Zhiyin: “…”

With the man’s expression, she could not help but wonder if the story of his first love was just a story that Cheng Yuelin had made up to trick her.

After all, who can talk about their love without any longing at all? What kind of love was this?

The next day, Cheng Yuelin’s allergic reaction finally completely healed. The two people did not bring up the events that happened yesterday and went to work as usual.

Today was originally going to be the day she went to Lin Heng to sign the contract, but what surprised Ruan Zhiyin was that Director Zhong had not waited for her to come in the afternoon. He had come to deliver the contract himself.

It had already been signed with Cheng Yuelin’s name.

To be exact, this contract could have been signed while they were at home.

But Ruan Zhiyin hoped to keep her private and work life separate. She placed importance on this, and had planned to bring Kang Yu with her to Lin Heng.

They had already discussed this, but why did Cheng Yuelin need to do this and send the contract over?

///

Qian Fan also wanted to know the answer to this question.

“Brother Lin, sister-in-law already said she would come in the afternoon. Why did you make Director Zhong send the contract over?”

Ever since Cheng Yuelin had gotten married, he had never seen Ruan Zhiyin. He thought that today would be the day he would finally have the opportunity to see his sister-in-law. But Brother Lin threw out this ploy.

“The weather is hot, it’s better for her to avoid the sun.” Cheng Yuelin glanced at him and then calmly explained. “I also sent a red pocket to Zhong Yi, he agreed quite happily.”

If she came, she would definitely run into Qian Fan.

When Qian Fan heard this: “…”

Cheng Yuelin would send a picture of his breakfast and dinner every day into his friend’s circle. He would like it every day, but Cheng Yuelin had never sent him a red pocket.

While he was busy with his thoughts, Bai Bo knocked on the door and came in. He also brought the takeout that Qian Fan had ordered.

Qian Fan reached over and picked it up. He took out the dishes one by one and placed it on the desk. Then he went over to call Bai Bo. “I ordered enough for three people. Let’s eat together.”

Before, he would come to eat lunch every day with Cheng Yuelin. But now Cheng Yuelin did not want to eat with him. He would bring a sandwich with him in the morning. Only after he started to post in his friend’s circle did he understand.

Qian Fan had already not eaten with him in a long time.

Bai Bo took a look at his boss. Seeing his boss’s silent acquiescence, he nodded and sat down.

But he had come over not to steal some food, but to talk about work.
