Tao Xinya bit her lip. If she walked back, it would take at least an hour, and it was too late. It was not safe to walk alone on the road.
She looked up at him, struggling.
Yuan Yurang was not in a hurry and waited for her leisurely.
Tao Xinya knew that she had no other choice, and she was too embarrassed to trouble Edward to drive to pick her up.
"Mr. trouble." Helplessly, she had to get into the car.
After putting out the cigarette, Yuan Yurang also got into the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove in the direction of Sigwell.
"Do you live in a dormitory?" he asked.
"No, the apartment nearby." Tao Xinya replied, holding the bag on her lap tightly with her little hands.
There were only two people in the narrow space, and she could smell the tobacco smell on his body. His knuckled hands were steering the steering wheel, and the wedding ring on his right hand shone faintly with silver light.
Tao Xinya couldn't help looking at the wedding ring.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that she had been looking at his hand, Yuan Yurang frowned slightly.
Tao Xinya regained her senses, quickly retracted her gaze, and spoke a little nervously. "Well, your wedding ring is beautiful." Then, without thinking, he spoke again. "Why do you go to the restaurant alone, where's your wife?"
After asking, Tao Biya regretted it. What does she ask this for? She has nothing to do with him.
There was a sudden silence in the car. Such silence made Tao Xinya uncomfortable. After a while, Yuan Yurang finally spoke up.
"She died." After a pause, he curled his lips: "I thought there was a lot of magazine coverage about me."
It was a lot, but she deliberately avoided it and never heard of it.
But the meaning of his words shocked her. Could it be that... he wasn't with Elena
"You didn't remarry?" Tao Xinya couldn't control her mouth, "Don't you have a girlfriend who has been in love for many years? Why didn't you marry her?"
Yuan Yurang chuckled lightly, just at the red light, he stopped the car and turned to look at her. "Looks like you know those gossips too."
Tao Xinya looked away embarrassedly, "You are so famous in Scotland, you have heard of it more or less." Bite her lip, she added, "I heard that your wife did not marry you voluntarily, you were originally going to marry the girlfriend you were in love with. ... Even if you are married, you are still with your girlfriend, so why did your wife pass away and you didn't remarry?"
These are not things she should ask, it's his personal business, but she can't help it. She didn't understand, she had already left, why didn't he marry Elena, after all, he liked Elena so much, didn't he
Facing her direct question, Yuan Yurang was not angry. Seeing that the green light was on, he stepped on the accelerator and his voice was still calm.
"Is it surprising that I didn't remarry?" He laughed, not answering her question.
His words let Tao Xinya know that he didn't want to answer.
Holding her bag tightly, she blurted out. "According to your status, how many women want to marry you, not to mention, you still have a lover, there is no obstacle, of course you should be with your lover."
squeak-
The car braked abruptly. Although he was wearing his seat belt, Tao Xinya's body still bounced forward due to the sudden stop of the car.
She grabbed her seat belt, didn't look at him, and lowered her head.
"Could it be that you feel guilty? You owe your deceased wife, so you didn't remarry?" Licking her lips, she couldn't help sneering. "Why do you feel owed? You didn't marry her voluntarily, she ruined you and your girlfriend, didn't you? You don't have to..."
"Get out of the car." He finally spoke, his quiet voice icy cold.
Tao Xinya kept silent, unfastened her seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car.
When she got out of the car, Yuan Yurang stepped on the accelerator, and the force of the rapid sprint made the tires smeared on the surface.
Tao Xinya stood where she was. This was already the apartment complex near Squarewell, and the apartment she lived in was right in front.
She covered her mouth, only to realize that she was shaking all over.
She couldn't help squatting down, holding her bag tightly in both hands, biting her lips, and burying her small face in her knees.
She didn't know... She didn't know he wasn't with Elena, she thought he would marry Elena after she left; but no, he still wore their wedding ring.
What was he thinking about? Is he trying to atone for it? But no need! She was the one who caused the bad things from start to finish!
He didn't need to apologize at all, her death was not his fault, he didn't need to punish himself at all.
