Lin Ruoxi, who was about to go upstairs to work as usual, turned around hesitantly. Seeing that Yang Cheng didn't seem to be joking, she indifferently nodded and said, "Let's talk in my study."
After that, Lin Ruoxi walked up the stairs on her own.
Yang Cheng didn't care and followed her upstairs to Lin Ruoxi's study.
The room was still the same as before, filled with the unique fragrance of Lin Ruoxi, which made Yang Cheng greedily take two deep breaths.
Lin Ruoxi didn't notice Yang Cheng's small action, feeling a little depressed. She walked to the French window and looked at the villa's quiet night through the gauze curtains. She seemed to be lost in thought, as if she was waiting for Yang Cheng to say something.
Yang Chen wasn't in a hurry to speak. Instead, he looked at the dazzling collection of books around him, as well as the stacks of heavy documents on the office table. With nostalgia, he said, "I remember the time when I went to buy books with you. The way you bought books was even more ferocious than other women buying clothes. At that time, I thought that such a woman should be a nerdy PhD student or a university mentor. How could she be the CEO of a multinational company? Now I seem to understand a little. Some things, when it falls on your head, even if you don't want to do it, you can unknowingly make some achievements. Some things are born, and some things, no matter how much you make up for it, will be incomplete. "
Lin Ruoxi's eyes revealed a pondering look. From the dark window glass in front of her, she could see the man's reflection behind her. He stood there with a smile, as if he was telling a story.
Yang Cheng was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Have you finished reading the books I bought last time?"
"I have." Lin Ruoxi said indifferently.
Yang Cheng nodded and sighed, "Those books … teaching women how to deal with the relationship between husband and wife, have you also read them?"
"I did, but I forgot," Lin Ruoxi said.
"He probably realized that it's useless. How can normal logic be applied to a relationship like ours?" Yang Cheng said self-deprecatingly, "An unexpected beginning, a marriage that has walked into a dead end from the beginning. No matter how much you struggle, you will only sink deeper into the quicksand. The more you struggle, the faster you will sink. "
Lin Ruoxi's shoulders shrugged and she bit her lips. "Is that all you want to say?"
Yang Cheng shook his head. "I was just expressing some boring emotions. What I want to say is a serious matter. You tried to accept me, worked hard to make our marriage work, let me go on business trips, took me to high society banquets, and now let me be the director of a new company. Although there have been many small troubles, I know you did it for my sake. I want to thank you. "
"So you also know how to say thank you." Lin Ruoxi sneered.
"I can say it, but not often," Yang Cheng said.
"So now you want to thank me and repay me?" Lin Ruoxi asked.
Yang Cheng looked at the back of the woman who had not turned around. "Although I want to, I found that there is nothing I can do for you except to keep you from getting hurt. So, I don't think I should affect the development of your company. Now I am the director of Yu Lei Entertainment, and I have just started some projects, and I am responsible for some core work. I am thinking, if I divorce you in six months, should I leave the company or continue to sit in that position? I should listen to your opinion.
If you think it doesn't matter, then I will sit in that position. Although I can't guarantee to make a lot of money, I will let the company develop normally. If you don't want to see me at that time, then I will leave and hand over the work. This is what I want to discuss with you. "
Lin Ruoxi turned around abruptly. Unbeknownst to her, two streams of tears had already flowed down her cold, jade-like face.
"Since you know that I have tried my best, and I don't look down on you like before, is your way of repaying me and thanking me by divorcing me?"
Yang Cheng didn't expect Lin Ruoxi to cry after saying this. He felt a faint bitterness in his heart, but he didn't know how to answer.
After taking a deep breath, Yang Cheng said, "That day, when Zeng Xinlin and Xu Zhihong came to my door, you already saw what kind of person I am. Although, Xu Zhihong said that you are the main culprit. But to tell you the truth, the reason why the Xu family completely went on the road of no return was because I used some tricks to uproot their alliance with Dongxing, so that Xu Zhihong had no one to rely on. Also, the previous time, when you and Mother Wang were kidnapped, it was also because I was by your side.
It hasn't even been a year since I came back to the country, and I have only been by your side for half a year. But because of me, you have already faced death more than once. I don't want there to be a next time, because I got close to you and made you suffer that kind of fate. I'm afraid … that one day, I won't be able to save you in time. "
"Do you think that I don't have any enemies when you're not here?!" Lin Ruoxi asked in disdain.
"At least, your enemies are people you can deal with, but the people I brought here can take your life." Yang Cheng said.
Endless resentment surged in Lin Ruoxi's beautiful eyes, and in the end, she was so angry that she laughed. "Yang Cheng, do you know that the words you're saying now, the things you're thinking about, are really very childish!"
Yang Cheng quietly looked at the woman who suddenly raised her voice, and didn't say a word.
"You're simply afraid, you're running away, and you're not willing to take responsibility. You're using a reason that isn't even a reason to divorce me!" Lin Ruoxi said coldly, "If you tell me, Lin Ruoxi, that I don't like you, that I don't have any interest in you, you don't need to ask for a divorce, I will take the initiative to leave you, and I won't think that you're wrong. But now, everything you're doing is telling me that you don't want a divorce at all. Why must you use this kind of lousy reason to avoid me!? Is everything I've given so cheap!? "
Yang Cheng closed his eyes in pain, "It's not what you think …"
Lin Ruoxi's eyes slightly reddened, and she coldly asked, "Then what is it? Do you dare to tell me that after you divorce me, you will also give up on the other women around you? Don't think that I'm blind. I don't know how many other women you have outside, but I think it's definitely not just Qianni. I'm not a fool, I didn't say it because I once said to myself that I wouldn't interfere in each other's private life. I know that I'm not good to you, and I don't have the right to say that you have an affair. But now, you want to tell me that you left me because you're afraid that I'll be hurt if I'm with you. Don't tell me that you'll also leave all other women!? "
In the end, Lin Ruoxi almost shouted the last sentence. Her surging emotions made her chest heave up and down, and her beautiful face was full of resentment and unwillingness.
Yang Cheng raised his head and met Lin Ruoxi's gaze. He didn't have the slightest intention of retreating.
"I won't leave them, but I will leave you, because you're different from them." Yang Cheng said.
"Different." Lin Ruoxi sneered, "Because you like them, but hate me. Is that what you want to say?"
Yang Cheng's two hands tightly clenched into fists, and then slowly loosened. He smiled bitterly, "Because, if they are hurt, I will cry, I will feel heartache, I will be angry … But, if you are hurt, I will not have those emotions … I think, I will directly go crazy …"
The last drop of Lin Ruoxi's tears fell onto the carpet. The expression on her face froze at this moment as she looked at Yang Cheng in a daze.
"I've already lost you once. I can't lose you a second time. Even if it's possible, I won't allow it …"
With that, Yang Cheng silently turned around and walked out of the study with heavy steps.
Lose again? Why "again"?
Lin Ruoxi stood in front of the window in a daze. Watching the door slowly close, she didn't know what to do.
