C206 Women's Tears

She had already looked through everything in the room, not only those precious gifts, Ning Caier also had quite a few clothes. He felt that under such circumstances, she must have lost all hope in running away from home, so he sat down powerlessly on the ground, staring blankly at the door.

Not long after, he heard the sound of someone opening the door. He was a little distracted, only he and Ning Caier had the key to the house, he could not believe that Ning Caier had actually returned, but the following voice made him feel as if she had heard heavenly music.

"Ouyang, did you come back?"

Ning Caier didn't know how to be a bad girl, she could only make everything look the same as usual, so after she left TiaoAo Group, she went to the supermarket to buy some food for Ouyang Jue to eat, after all, their time together had already reached the countdown.

She had already predicted that they would meet several times, but once she entered this house, her mind went blank. When she saw the key on the table, she knew that Ouyang Jue had returned.

"What are you doing? If you hadn't been sitting here, I would have thought that our family had been robbed."

Looking at the mess that filled the room, Ning Caier didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Not a single drawer in her house wasn't open, and even the wardrobe 'doors were all opened wide, and various things were scattered all over the floor. Ouyang Jue sat in the middle like a abandoned child, his shirt collar in a mess, and even a hole in his sleeve.

She could only give up her plan of cooking for now and pack up the things in her room. Usually, her room was very neat and tidy, and she had never seen such a tragic situation before.

"Cai'er, believe me, okay? Meng Yun and I really didn't know about this beforehand. It was all my father's doing."

After Ouyang Jue saw Ning Caier, he quickly got up from the ground and hugged her tightly. He was afraid that all of this was an illusion, so he buried his head in her neck to feel the warmth and fragrance of her body.

"I know that you and Miss Xu are only faking your marriage, but this time you are faking it as well, right?"

Ning Caier gently pried open Ouyang Jue's fingers, and she turned around, trying her best to look into his eyes. Those eyes were filled with worry and fear, and she knew that he was truly afraid.

"Don't worry, I know you won't leave me." Ning Caier forced out a smile. She tiptoed and forcefully kissed Ouyang Jue on his forehead, his forehead was covered in cold sweat and the sweat evaporated with the rise of his body temperature. However, it made the air around him turn slightly cold.

"Cai'er, are you alright?" Ouyang Jue pressed onto Ning Caier's arm, of course he hoped that Ning Caier would believe him, but he felt that this time, the trust came too easily, and wasn't like how Ning Caier used to. He continuously looked into her eyes, hoping to find out the answer.

In his memories, Ning Caier's eyes were always bright, whether it was bright from joy or from the glint from her tears, but right now, her eyes lacked a bit of spirit. She looked quite a bit more gray, and this kind of gaze told Ouyang Jue that she didn't seem to be as unconcerned as she appeared on the outside.

"I'm fine." Ning Caier shrugged her shoulders casually. She turned on the loudspeakers in the room to the maximum and used the fast paced music to dilute the awkward atmosphere in the room. However, she packed very roughly, and simply put everything in the room back into the drawer.

This kind of situation had happened a few days ago as well, and every day, he was in a trance as to what he was doing. This was because his mind was filled with too many other things, so what he really wanted to know now was what Ning Caier was thinking in her heart, and not a simple sentence of nothing.

"Cai'er, in fact, you can ask me any question you want."

Ouyang Jue followed behind Ning Caier and saw that she was busy cooking non-stop in the kitchen. Today, she seemed to be planning on making a big meal, with ingredients filling up the whole kitchen counter, Ouyang Jue casually checked and found that the ingredients inside were actually as complete as the whole Han Dynasty.

He never thought that the place Ning Caier wanted to vent on the most was her culinary arts. She only needed to prepare all these things to make sure that it would be day time, so he very consciously went over to help. However, the moment she rolled up her sleeves, she was scolded by Ning Caier.

"You should have a lot of things to take care of today, right? I'll be fine here, there's no need for you to come in."

Ning Caier was constantly busy cooking. Although her culinary skills were not as refined as Ouyang Jue's, but they could be considered to be of a normal standard, but today, she felt really uncomfortable, so when she sliced the vegetables, it was more like she was venting it out. The kitchen knife in her hand weighed over a thousand kilograms.

Those vegetables that could be cut apart easily seemed to be especially strenuous on their own, so she wasn't willing to let Ouyang Jue look at them, in case he discovered the tears in his eyes.

However, those tears still flowed uncontrollably. She could only place an onion on the chopping board and cut it randomly, finding an excuse for her tears to flow down.

Of course, Ouyang Jue knew why she was crying. She only wanted to use this method to desperately hide the weakness in her heart, so Ouyang Jue could not bear to expose her. She could only silently stand to the side.

"Alright, you can call me whenever you need me. I'll go upstairs to change first."

Ouyang Jue originally wanted to switch off his phone once Ning Caier returned, but he was afraid that Xu Mengyun wouldn't be able to handle such a complicated situation, so he set his phone as a vibrator. From the beginning, the trembling in his pockets never stopped, so he used the excuse of looking for something to return to his room.

There were indeed a lot of missed calls, other than the congratulations sent by the co-workers and Wealthy Class families, the most missed calls were from Xu Mengyun. When he saw her call, she immediately replied back to her, since her situation was definitely worse than her, a girl couldn't handle the encirclement from the elders of Xu Family.

"Mengyun, what happened? How are things on your side right now?" Ouyang Jue returned to his room to change. Only when he looked in the mirror did he realize how pathetic he looked, his clothes were no longer as neat and clean as it was in the morning. It was as if he had just returned from a day of hard work.

As a result, he turned on the loudspeaker on his phone, washed and talked with Xu Mengyun, the rushing sound of water created a good background music for him, which also served as the accompaniment to Xu Mengyun's sigh.

"Ouyang, I've never been so tired when discussing business. I feel like I'm going to die."

Xu Mengyun paused for a moment before letting out a weak sigh. Her throat was in great pain, and her voice was so hoarse that it seemed as if she was about to lose her voice.

The phone that Ouyang Jue had said was turned off, she was afraid that it would delay the matters of the Xu's, so he had no choice but to accept calls from every single elder. Usually, the moment he picked up the phone, he would call again, she felt that he had never said so much, and every word was a boring repetition that made her feel like he was about to collapse.

"Hold on, I haven't found my father yet."

Only then did Ouyang Jue remember that he had not properly discussed this matter with Ouyang Gu, but he did not dare tell Xu Mengyun that he had not started to deal with it yet, and could only console her a little, but this consolation was to no avail. Xu Mengyun was very clear that with this situation, even if she could clarify with Ouyang Gu, it would be useless.

Their results were very clear. First, they had to choose marriage to make the link between the two families more stable. Second, they had to break off the engagement and bear the consequences of the entire business world shaking.

"Ouyang, why don't we do it this way? We'll talk about it when the wedding day approaches."

Xu Mengyun looked at her room. Her family's elders and business partners all sent her a lot of congratulatory gifts after knowing that she was going to get married. She could only accept these gifts with gratitude, unable to explain the reason to her elders.

Now that she had just experienced a huge battle, she didn't want to have to undergo the ferocious battle for her wedding gift so soon. Her relatives must have asked more questions, and she needed to explain more things, but now she was almost out of energy to talk and couldn't do anything in such a short period of time.

Furthermore, she still held hope that as long as Ouyang Jue did not rescind the engagement, the two of them might still have a chance to be together. Xu Mengyun had once thought of countless possibilities, including Ning Caier's sudden illness or an accident, and those thoughts even frightened her. She had no way of accepting that she had become such a crazy woman, so she could only lock herself in her room to prevent herself from losing her composure again.

"Mengyun, I will take care of this matter."

Ouyang Jue also knew that it was already past the optimal time for public relations, and no matter how they dealt with it, they wouldn't be able to avoid the two families' losses. Right now, they could only think of a way to minimize the losses, so he agreed to Xu Mengyun's idea of going through an explanation later. He didn't believe that Ouyang Gu would always be able to avoid him, he definitely would think of a way to find him.

This matter must definitely have a conclusion. Although this wasn't Ouyang Jue's original plan, it had increased the speed at which he and Xu Mengyun could break off the engagement. She would let Ouyang Gu know that what he did was wrong.

"Ouyang Ziyun, I have two rounds of negotiations tomorrow, and I'll leave it to you. I don't want to talk right now, I just want to sleep."

Xu Mengyun was about to fall asleep. She had arranged all the tasks for tomorrow, and she only wanted to hide in this room, in regards to her request, of course Ouyang Jue would agree. In any case, this matter that Xu's was discussing was related to Sky Ao, and he should attend.

"Thank you."

Xu Mengyun closed her phone. She had been hoping that Ouyang Jue could tell her that he was willing to follow the best solution and get married to her, but she never expected him to marry her.

She turned off the lights in the room and covered her eyes with her arms, weeping silently. Was there a bride more miserable than she was in this world?

When Ouyang Jue returned to Ning Caier's house, he had already changed into casual attire. He wore slippers and quietly walked in, the first thing he did was to observe Ning Caier's condition.

Ning Caier had finally entered into a new phase of cooking dinner. He discovered that the pot was already filled with soup, and it was emitting a rich fragrance. This was a type of cooking that she had never seen before.
