My Groom Ran Away Chapter 24.1

Ruan Zhiyin turned her head. Unsurprisingly, standing just a few steps away from her with a lazy smile gracing his lips, was Cheng Yuelin.

She did not expect that he would hear her words just now.

Thinking that she had just called him her husband just to how close they were to Wang Xiwei, Ruan Zhiyin felt a little uncomfortable.

But she forced that feeling down and raised her eyes to meet his gaze. “Why are you so early today?"

Even if it was already almost time for her to get off work, Cheng Yuelin had showed up half an hour earlier than usual.

Cheng Yuelin walked over to her side. He spoke expressionlessly. “I had a meeting with someone nearby, so I came here after.”

After speaking, he glanced at Wang Xiwei and raised a brow. “Let’s go?"

Ruan Zhiyin understood. If she did not leave now, she would once again be blocked by Wang Xiwei.

So she quickly said goodbye to Kang Yu and nodded her head. “Yes, let’s go."

Cheng Yuelin narrowed his eyes and held her hand.

Wang Xiwei only reacted now and anxiously hurried up. “President Cheng, please wait a minute. My father, he wants to see you..."

After only speaking half of what she wanted to say, she paused.

Her father had asked her to use Lin Cheng’s matters as a bargaining chip to convince Ruan Zhiyin to help them. But now that she was face to face with Cheng Yuelin, she did not know what to say.

Finally, Wang Xiwei bit her lip and said, “Would you be willing to give my father a chance to make up for what he has done?"

Cheng Yuelin glanced at her and sneered. “Wang Shao had the capabilities and power to search for people everywhere. He should have considered giving up the cavalry to protect the general. Otherwise, in a moment of greed, he would lose a lot more."

After speaking, Cheng Yuelin’s implication was clear. Wang Shao had a clear choice, but he did not want to take the path of retreat. After all, choosing to go to jail and lose all the family’s wealth was really not that good of a choice.

However, if it was not because of Xu Xin, who had chosen to hide in Southeast Asia under a different name, would Wang Shao, Zhao Bing, and the Fang family could not have survived for so long.

Now that Xu Xin had returned to Lanqiao to confess, Cheng Yuelin had waited for so long, it would be impossible for him to give these people the opportunity to continue living their lives happily.

The two people did not pay any more attention to Wang Xiwei and got into the Bentley that was parked not far away.

The car drove out of the parking lot.

It was only then did Cheng Yuelin release her hand. He paused and before continuing, “Don’t worry, the Wang family will not have the means to other you again.”

He had just met with Officer Ye and he already had the evidence to deal with the Wang family. They also had the means to force Wang Shao to confess and hand over the evidence in his hands. After today, Wang Shao would also understand.

“Okay.” Ruan Zhiyin nodded her head.

Then she relaxed her shoulders and then asked, “Uncle Liu said that you met grandpa yesterday?"

Cheng Yuelin grunted in acknowledgment, but he did not reply.

The reason his father had been imprisoned was due to his aggressive business practices. His father had wanted to monopolize the Luowan project and had raised the ire of many people. In the end, he ended up falling into a trap.

Even though the Fang family and the Wang family were the main people who devised the trap, after he fell in, there were many people who took advantage of this, and it appeared to have the shadow of the Ruan family.

He knew that the person who had participated was Lin Cheng, but Grandpa Ruan had still personally called him over.

He was worried that he would blame Ruan Zhiyin.

Of course, he had also discussed a few other things. But of those, he had no need to tell her.

So he decided to change the topic, “Ruan Yingying."

“Hm?”

“The way you called me your husband was quite nice.”

The tone of his voice was light and calm, while also carrying a hint of appreciation.

Ruan Zhiyin thought back to the words that he had coincidentally heard. Her cheeks turned an unnatural shade of red. She had a moment of embarrassment.

She paused and explained, “That is because I did not want to be bothered by Wang Xiwei."

Cheng Yuelin leaned back in his seat and turned his head to look at her. His voice was lazy. “Ah, I must have forgotten. When we are in front of other people, I want you to use this name for me."

“I did not think... you would be this self-conscious."

The man hinted at something and Ruan Zhiyin had no words to refute it.

Cheng Yuelin lifted his chin and admired her speechless expression. He laughed. “If that’s the case, in front of other people, please continue to do this, Madam Cheng."

He finished speaking and put on his headphones and closed his eyes to rest.

Due to him calling her Madam Cheng, Ruan Zhiyin was reminded of Director Zhong’s previous words.

The relationship they had had during this time was a lot better than the one she had imagined before she moved into his house.

If she could continue to maintain this relationship with him in the future, being Madam Cheng... It was not that difficult to accept.

During the weekend, Ruan Zhiyin and Cheng Yuelin went to attend Madam Yan’s 70th birthday banquet.

As this was a formal occasion, the woman needed time to dress up. When Ruan Zhiyin came out of her room, Cheng Yuelin was already waiting in the living room for her.

Hearing the crisp sound of her footsteps, he turned around and his ink-black eyes met hers.

The man was in a straight dark suit with a simple white shirt and a crisp tie. His entire atmosphere was one of noble elegance. Dressed in a suit and tie with leather shoes, he looked even more handsome than normal.

Ruan Zhiyin could not help but take a second glance. She curled her lips and smiled. She thought, she really did not lose out on anything during this marriage. As long as Cheng Yuelin doesn’t speak, he was indeed very pleasing to the eyes.

People were visual creatures. If Cheng Yuelin was not handsome, it would be impossible for people to like him with his terrible personality.
