Although Cheng Yuelin has been on a business trip these days, the driver still picks Ruan Zhiyin to and from get off work every day.
It was clear that he and Cheng Yuelin didn't talk much in the car in the past, but Ruan Zhiyin gradually found that he was not used to it after he left suddenly for a few days.
On the way to and from get off work, the seat next to me is empty.
When she got home, she was the only one left in the huge villa.
Ruan Zhiyin always thought that she was someone who was not able to experience loneliness very well, but after Cheng Yuelin went on business, she really thought about some feelings similar to loneliness.
Even if the busyness of work can make her temporarily forget this feeling, when she returns home, she will always subconsciously grab an extra set of tableware and another bowl of rice.
Then I realized that Cheng Yuelin was not at home.
So, habit is the scariest thing.
Obviously, Cheng Yuelin's business trip brought her a different feeling than the one she just moved to the villa.
Maybe it's because their relationship has improved a lot during this time.
After eating, Ruan Zhiyin packed up the dishes and put them in the dishwasher, then went upstairs alone.
During the day, she took Kang Yu and Xiang Bin to the construction site in Beicheng. She took off her high heels and was still a little tired.
Ruan Zhiyin went into the bathroom and put in the water, dropped some fragrant rose essential oil into it, and lay down in the bathtub to comfortably take a bath to relieve fatigue.
After taking a bath, I saw the missed call from Gu Linlang, and then went back.
"I was taking a bath just now, and my phone was left outside. What's wrong, Linlang, what's the matter?"
Her hair was still dripping, Ruan Zhiyin turned on the speakerphone and chatted with Gu Linlang while wiping her hair.
From the loudspeaker: "Yinyin, do you know that next Sunday is Jiang Anzheng's engagement banquet?"
"Well, Qin Xiang told me a few days ago, but I didn't want to go."
The Ruan family and the Jiang family did not meet, let alone the relationship between Ruan Zhiyin and Jiang Anzheng. Qin Jue will definitely go to this engagement banquet, why should she go to see those people she doesn't want to see.
Gu Linlang sighed softly: "It's fine if you don't go, but you'll meet Qin Jue again. Do you think those of them have holes in their heads? Day by day Jing can't understand people's words, and she's still thinking about making the two of you reconciled. ."
"Why did you go earlier? Qin Jue can't solve all those broken things by himself. You can't make up for it when you break up with him. It's because you have a good temper in the past and you deserve it."
Gu Linlang's soft voice carried obvious anger, knowing that she was doing it for herself, Ruan Zhiyin couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, I'm not angry, why are you angry?"
"Of course I'm angry, Fang Weirui actually delivered news to Qin Jue behind my back!" Thinking of this, Gu Linlang suddenly felt annoyed, "Since you don't go to the engagement party, then I won't go either, just let him Go by yourself."
Ruan Zhiyin knew that Gu Linlang had been cold with Fang Weirui for a few days, and she didn't want her to be more stiff for her own sake, so she politely said: "Well... Qin Xiang said that the engagement banquet should be very interesting, why don't you go and watch the play? ?"
Qin Xiang is a girl who can't hide her emotions. When she called her a few days ago, Ruan Zhiyin could hear the meaning of the other party's words.
Presumably this engagement banquet will not be calm.
Over there, Gu Linlang thought for a while, then slowly said, "I'll think about it again."
"By the way, guess who I met in the restaurant of the SIMO Hotel today?"
Ruan Zhiyin's brows moved slightly: "Oh? Who did you meet?"
"Zhou Hongfei!" Gu Linlang's voice became more playful, "And you would never have imagined that he actually had a blind date there."
Ruan Zhiyin smiled and nodded: "Very good, when the dean died, the orphanage owed many things to him. Dean Chen should also want to see him get married and start a business."
Gu Linlang's tone was a little teasing: "Speaking of which, if Cheng Yuelin didn't agree at that time, he might have become your bridegroom. But fortunately, it didn't delay people going on a blind date."
Ruan Zhiyin paused for a while, thinking about the wedding day again.
Gu Linlang listed three groom candidates for her at that time. The second one was Zhou Hongfei, their playmate in the orphanage.
Zhou Hongfei is a typical poor boy. He worked hard when he was studying. Later, he went to a technology company, rose all the way to an executive, and took shares.
Although the foundation is shallow, it can also be called a newcomer.
Children who are used to being adopted have returned to the orphanage. Children like them and Zhou Hongfei, who have been staying in the orphanage and do not want to be adopted, are already close as brothers and sisters.
After returning to Ruan's house, Ruan Zhiyin's contact with each other gradually diminished, but Zhou Hongfei always had an orphanage relationship with them.
There are priorities, and Gu Linlang feels that if Zhou Hongfei is asked to perform a show, the other party will most likely not refuse.
It just might cause trouble for the other party.
That's why Gu Linlang said that Cheng Yuelin was the best candidate.
Thinking of this, Ruan Zhiyin shook her head: "It's a no-brainer. Even if I called Zhou Hongfei at that time, they might not agree."
"Yes." Gu Linlang's voice was light, after a pause, she said in a low voice, "Don't say Yinyin, Fang Weirui is back, I'll hang up first."
The call was immediately cut off.
Ruan Zhiyin lowered her eyes and laughed.
However, she was really tired. She dried her hair with the hair dryer that Cheng Yuelin had given before, and quickly lay on the bed, slowly falling asleep.
A good night's dream.
—
the next day.
Because it was Saturday, and after several days, Ruan Zhiyin slept until almost ten o'clock before waking up.
I opened my eyes in confusion, and the sunlight poured into the bedroom through the thin clouds floating in the sky, warm and genial, with a bright mood.
After washing, Ruan Zhiyin put on a casual sportswear and went to the gym on the open-air balcony of the villa.
When she was abroad, she was busy with her studies and surrounded by good enough classmates. Ruan Zhiyin occasionally felt pressure and exhaustion.
Later, her roommate couldn't bear the look of her studying hard with the lamp on, and started to pull her to exercise, saying that the dopamine secreted by exercise can improve people's mood and achieve more with less effort.
Ruan Zhiyin got used to it for a period of time and had a deep understanding, and began to exercise regularly.
After the three-kilometer jogging, she turned off the treadmill, picked up the towel hanging on the side to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and went to get the mineral water on the cabinet next to her.
However, he found that there was one less bottle of mineral water that had always been neatly placed by the hourly workers in the cabinet.
Ruan Zhiyin was stunned.
A minute later, she walked downstairs with doubts, and sure enough, she saw a man in loose sportswear leaning on the sofa with a relaxed attitude, focusing on his notebook.
Ruan Zhiyin's eyes widened slightly, and a hint of surprise crossed the bottom of her eyes: "Why are you back so early?"
Before going abroad for business, Cheng Yuelin clearly told her that she would not be able to come back until Sunday night.
Cheng Yuelin glanced at her lightly, his thin lips moved, and he spoke in a loose tone: "I came back last night, knocked on your door, but didn't answer."
In fact, there was still some finishing work to be done, but he left Bai Bo there and rushed back by plane.
Originally, I was hoping that she would be a little unaccustomed to her leaving, but now it seems that this high-spirited appearance seems to be quite comfortable.
Cheng Yuelin was in a complicated mood. It seemed that he was the only one who couldn't hold back his thoughts during this time.
Hearing that he had come back last night, Ruan Zhiyin frowned slightly.
Thinking back, he should have been lying in the bathtub taking a bath when he knocked on the door, and he had put the tablet on and was listening to the news, so he didn't hear it.
But for some unknown reason, a strange strangeness flashed silently in her heart, which she quickly forgot.
"Have you eaten breakfast? There's still a sandwich in the refrigerator. I'll go and warm it up for you?"
Cheng Yuelin's favorite breakfast seems to be sandwiches. I don't know if it's because it's delicious or because it's more convenient to take away.
The sandwich in the refrigerator was made by Ruan Zhiyin yesterday. It was only after finishing that I remembered that Cheng Yuelin was not at home.
Cheng Yuelin heard the words and shook his head: "No, I won't go to work today, I'll eat with you."
There was still Ruan Zhiyin's porridge cooked last night in the kitchen, Cheng Yuelin got up and filled two bowls, returned to the restaurant, and handed it to Ruan Zhiyin.
It's almost noon now, so there's no need to eat too much, both of them just want to simply pad their stomachs.
There was silence in the restaurant, and no one spoke.
But Ruan Zhiyin was used to having dinner with him, and the atmosphere was not awkward.
Cheng Yuelin finished drinking the porridge and put down the spoon.
After a while, he raised his eyes and glanced at her, and finally couldn't help but say, "Ruan 嘤嘤, while I was away, you were quite comfortable."
Ruan Zhiyin inexplicably heard a bit of awkwardness in his tone, and looked up at the man.
After thinking for a while, she shook her head and raised her lips slightly: "No, in fact, you are on a business trip suddenly, I'm not used to it."
It is said that people can form a habit in 21 days, and she has lived with Cheng Yuelin for two months.
It's probably because the two of them have lived together for a long time. In the past few days, she can always detect Cheng Yuelin's departure from some small things.
"real?"
The man raised his eyebrows slightly, as if in disbelief.
Ruan Zhiyin hummed softly: "Really."
"It seems... these bowls are not in vain." Cheng Yuelin smiled slightly, reached out and picked up the bowl in front of Ruan Zhiyin, stacking it with his.
However, he seemed to have thought of something again, and instead of leaving in a hurry, he leaned back leisurely, and his slender jade knuckles slowly tapped on the table.
After pondering for a while, the man said casually, "Ruan 嘤嘤, how do you think my husband has performed his duties during this time?"
Ruan Zhiyin didn't expect that he would suddenly seek her own evaluation of him. After pondering for a while, she nodded and said, "Well, you performed your duties well."
In front of outsiders, Cheng Yuelin was enough to protect her. As for being at home, although he was a little bit fussy about some trivial matters, it wouldn't make her unbearable.
Compared with her expectations, Cheng Yuelin's performance during this period was indeed conscientious.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Cheng Yuelin's dark eyes staring at her, her eyes unpredictable, but obviously something was wrong.
Immediately afterwards, she was persuaded by the yin and yang of the other party—
"That's why Ruan Yu, even if it's just a fake marriage, I've played the role of a husband well. Since you took advantage of me, I hope you can play a good wife too, and don't give me a green hat."
"I won't bother with you about Qin Jue, but what about Zhou Hongfei and Wang Hongfei, you'd better—"
"Be restrained, understand?"
In the gentle voice of the man, a very suggestive warning was brewing.
After he finished speaking, he smiled and brushed the hem of his clothes, got up slowly, and picked up the two bowls in front of him.
Ruan Zhiyin raised her head abruptly, and when she met Cheng Yuelin's half-smiling eyes, she finally realized why she felt wrong when she heard him say that she had come back last night.
She tried to take a breath, but suddenly felt a headache. She's gotta get a bunk in the second bedroom, right now, right now.
