After hearing Cheng Yuelin's words, Ruan Zhiyin realized that it was her birthday at the end of the month.
Many children in the orphanage do not know the date of their birth, so the dean is accustomed to regard the day of admission as the birthday of the children.
Ruan Zhiyin's birthday at the orphanage was May 26, which was also the day of the wedding.
Except for Gu Linlang, no one knew that that day was her birthday.
As for Ruan Zhiyin's birthday after returning to Ruan's house, it was at the end of October.
Doing the math, she and Cheng Yuelin have been 'married' for five months.
Looking at the necklace in her hand, Ruan Zhiyin smiled and asked, "So this is also a birthday present?"
The man shook his head: "No, just treat it as a... small gift."
But when I saw this necklace, I suddenly thought of her, and I felt that Ruan Zhiyin's skin was fair and delicate, and it should look good wearing this.
As for birthday gifts... of course there are others.
When Ruan Zhiyin heard this, she nodded and said softly, "Okay."
"Huh?" Cheng Yuelin looked down at her.
"I said go on a honeymoon, alright."
The man's brows moved slightly and the corners of his lips raised.
—
Because of the holiday at the end of the month, Ruan Zhiyin sorted out all the work at hand and prepared to settle all the important things before the holiday.
So work became very busy.
Cheng Lang's adoption procedures were rather cumbersome, and the day to send him abroad was finally set the day before Ruan Zhiyin and Cheng Yuelin's honeymoon vacation.
The working day passed quickly, and it was the weekend again.
Ruan Zhiyin squeezed out the time to attend Zhou Hongfei and Miss Jiang's wedding.
When she was about to go out, Cheng Yuelin leaned against the door and asked her again, "I really don't need me to accompany you?"
Ruan Zhiyin paused and said comfortably, "You can just watch Cheng Lang at home, and you know... Lin Lang went by herself, and I want to accompany her."
Ruan Zhiyin just mentioned it casually last time. She thought that Cheng Yuelin had been meeting with people in the study in recent weekends, so he probably didn't have time, but it was rare for him to be idle.
It's just that Gu Linlang couldn't ask her husband to go with her because of the relationship between Fang Weirui and Jiang Anzheng. Ruan Zhiyin thought about it and persuaded Cheng Yuelin to stay at home too.
Hearing the words, the man looked at her quietly.
Then his eyelids drooped slightly, and he raised his eyebrows in an idle gesture: "Then I'll wait for you at home."
The voice was light and cloudy.
But somehow, Ruan Zhiyin always felt that his subtext was: come back early.
Ruan Zhiyin: "…"
It looked like she had wronged him.
—
The wedding was in a church.
The scale is small, and only a few relatives and friends on both sides are invited.
This church is near the C University, and the architectural style has a sense of age. It is said that it was the place where the bride and groom fell in love.
The wedding ceremony is simple and warm.
Miss Jiang's father did not come, and her uncle played the role of father, holding Miss Jiang's hand and handing the bride over to Zhou Hongfei.
The bride was wearing a white wedding dress, and her beautiful face was filled with a happy smile.
Even Zhou Hongfei, who was taciturn in his impression, always had a small smile on the corner of his mouth.
The two newlyweds held hands and looked at each other, read the oath in front of everyone, and exchanged rings.
The talent of a man and a woman is a perfect match.
After the ceremony, Ruan Zhiyin and Gu Linlang walked towards the newcomer not far away.
"Sister Linlang, Sister Zhiyin."
Zhou Hongfei was two years younger than Gu Linlang and half a year younger than Ruan Zhiyin. This sister, he had called for more than ten years.
Ruan Zhiyin smiled and took the champagne from the reception table and toasted a glass with the bride and groom: "I wish you a happy wedding."
"Thank you, Sister Zhiyin." Jiang Xueying smiled brightly, "I heard Hongfei say that you have helped him a lot in the past."
Gu Linlang liked Jiang Xueying very much, and she smiled when she heard the words: "He talks too little, like a gourd, thanks to you being able to look at him."
Zhou Hongfei didn't argue, and looked down at Jiang Xueying: "Indeed."
Although there is not much contact in these years, they are brothers who grew up together after all.
Seeing this scene, Ruan Zhiyin suddenly felt more relieved: "The dean must be very happy to see you getting married."
Zhou Hongfei was abandoned at the gate of the orphanage for several months. He was weak when he was a child, and Dean Chen was always worried about him.
Hearing this, Zhou Hongfei lowered his eyes: "Well, in a few days, I will also take Xueying back to Xu County."
The orphanage where the three lived was in Xu County, and Dean Chen was also buried there.
Ruan Zhiyin paused for a while and felt a little more melancholy: "Speaking of which, when the dean died, it was thanks to you."
At that time, she and Gu Linlang were both abroad, and only Zhou Hongfei was with the dean. Later, when she called back to the orphanage, Zhou Hongfei also answered.
Zhou Hongfei was ashamed: "I didn't do anything. In the end, it was thanks to that friend of Tuo Jiahong who sent the dean to the hospital."
"Jiahong's friend?" Ruan Zhiyin raised her eyebrows.
Zhou Hongfei nodded: "The director couldn't live in the ward at that time, so the other party asked Jiahong's friend to come over and sent him to the city hospital."
Jiahong is the capital of Province X, not far from Xu County, but the medical facilities of Jiahong City Hospital are of course incomparable to the county seat.
Ruan Zhiyin frowned slightly, she had never heard that Qin Jue had Jiahong's friends.
But realizing that she thought of Qin Jue, she quickly put aside those thoughts.
—
After attending the wedding, the two got into Gu Linlang's car.
Ruan Zhiyin drank a few glasses of champagne just now, and her face became more rosy.
She leaned back in the chair lazily, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, she opened the car window, and felt the breeze blowing comfortably across her cheeks.
Gu Linlang looked at her expression and asked with a smile, "How are you and Cheng Yuelin now?"
Ruan Zhiyin nodded: "I think it should be... good."
"Yinyin, I think you've relaxed a lot after you got married. Now you're almost the same as when you were in the orphanage."
"Is there?" Ruan Zhiyin looked back at her.
Gu Linlang pondered for a few seconds, and then said: "In the past, you were relaxed when you left me and the dean in front of you, but after returning to Ruan's house, every time I saw you, it seemed that I was overwhelmed."
Ruan Zhiyin looked at the night scene in front of the car window and pursed her lips: "Probably, I always feel that the orphanage is like home."
She has lived in an orphanage for more than ten years, but suddenly she was told that she had a relative, and her life changed dramatically in an instant.
When the dean said not to go back to the orphanage, Ruan Zhiyin was a little dazed.
If she was given a choice, she would rather live in an orphanage that made her relax than the careful and wealthy life in those years.
Although it is not a rich life, the dean has never let them go hungry.
After leaving the orphanage, Ruan Zhiyin always lacked a sense of belonging to the Ruan family.
She stayed abroad for five or six years, longer than the time she lived in the old house. The original decision to return to China was only for my grandfather.
Hearing this, Gu Linlang raised her eyebrows slightly: "What about now?"
At first I thought that only an orphanage was like home, but now
"now?"
Ruan Zhiyin frowned slightly, as if she suddenly fell into some difficult thinking, and did not answer.
Seeing her slightly tangled expression, Gu Linlang knew that Ruan Zhiyin looked sober, but she was actually a little drunk.
The car stopped in front of the villa, Ruan Zhiyin opened her eyes: "Linlang, are you here?"
"Yes, Miss, can you still get out of the car?" Gu Linlang looked at her with a smile.
Ruan Zhiyin opened the door to get out of the car, and waved goodbye to Gu Linlang.
Then he stood there, as if preparing to watch Gu Linlang's car leave.
Gu Linlang saw that her footsteps were fairly steady, and then caught a glimpse of the man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, shook her head and smiled, and drove away.
The car disappeared from view.
Ruan Zhiyin stood there for a while before turning around and walking towards the gate of the villa.
Before I could press my fingerprints, the moment I came to the villa, the door had been opened from the inside.
Seeing the man's face clearly, Ruan Zhiyin stepped forward, squinting and smiling at him: "Cheng Yuelin, I'm going home."
Her head sank, and she vaguely remembered that when she went out, someone seemed to have said that she would be waiting for her at home.
Cheng Yuelin hummed softly, looked at her a few times, and then led the person into the door.
The door of the villa was closed by the man, but Ruan Zhiyin remained silent at the entrance, motionless.
Smelling the faint smell of alcohol on her body, Cheng Yuelin frowned: "Why did you drink?"
"Oh, I drank a little." Ruan Zhiyin nodded, then said, "I'm very happy to see Zhou Hongfei getting married today."
I'm really happy, but after I'm happy, my head seems dizzy at the moment.
The man's expression was slightly stagnant, he snorted lightly, and then raised his eyebrows loosely: "He married him, what are you happy about."
If I had known that she would come back after drinking like this, I should have followed her there.
Ruan Zhiyin frowned slightly, thought for a while, and replied, "If you get married, I'll be happy too."
Cheng Yuelin heard the words, straightened his lips, and said in a deep tone, "If I get married, will you be happy too?"
Ruan Zhiyin nodded and looked at him suspiciously: "I'm glad, aren't you married to me?"
Before she fell in love with him, she turned him into her husband. The odds of winning the lottery are the same, so why not be happy
Cheng Yuelin: "..."
There seemed to be nothing to refute.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Ruan Zhiyin raised her eyes slightly and looked at the man in front of her.
After a while, she stretched out her slender fingers and gently smoothed the fold between his eyebrows.
Who knew that just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he was quickly grasped by the man.
Staring at her flushed cheeks, Cheng Yuelin's Adam's apple slid down, and his voice was hoarse: "Ruan 嘤嘤, are you taking advantage of me again?"
Hearing his words, Ruan Zhiyin stunned and shook her head: "I'm not taking advantage of it."
Cheng Yuelin chuckled, and then said loosely: "Oh? Then what do you think counts as taking advantage."
Ruan Zhiyin raised her eyebrows and thought for a while, then smiled at the man: "Probably, so-"
She tiptoed lightly and kissed his lower lip with her soft lips.
Like a dragonfly, it is fleeting.
After the murder, she reminisced for a few seconds and commented with a smile: "Sweet."
There was an eerie silence in the hallway.
After a long time, the man suddenly spoke.
"Ruan 嘤嘤."
"Ok?"
"Wake up tomorrow, can you still remember what happened today?"
Seeing her frowning in confusion, Cheng Yuelin sighed, laughed, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's okay if you don't remember, after all, there is a camera in the living room—"
"Yesterday you watched me settle down with your own eyes."
