Lin Ruoxi's words seemed to have stirred up the past that he had sealed away for too long, as well as too many thoughts that he didn't dare to touch, all of which started to rapidly ferment and expand.
"Shut up! Shut up!! How many times do I have to tell you before you believe that it's not like what you think!! "
Yang Cheng's head felt like it had exploded. The pain that he hadn't felt in a long time made his nerves go into a frenzy, and his temples started to throb!
Yang Cheng didn't know why he was so angry, and why he couldn't control himself and shouted at Lin Ruoxi. He didn't want to, but he couldn't control himself!!
Lin Ruoxi's gaze became cold, as if she could see through everything.
"Don't lie to yourself, Yang Cheng. In fact, you always knew that you would never be able to separate me and Seventeen. You thought that we were different because you wanted to convince yourself and numb yourself. You didn't want to be a weak person in love, and you didn't want to be unable to walk out of that shadow. You tried to make yourself a new person, and not a pitiful person who was depressed because of Seventeen's departure … To you, I'm just an excuse to cover up your guilt … You're lying to yourself, and in fact, everything between us started with Seventeen …"
Lin Ruoxi's words were like icy rain, falling into Yang Cheng's ears, freezing his body.
"If it's really like what you said, and you can separate me and Seventeen, then why isn't Qiangwei your wife? Don't you love her? Just because she's a triad member? Do you care? If you want to, will she reject you? And Jingjing, who went to America, can't you see her feelings for you? They've been by your side for a long time, and they're all women who treat you better than me, and are more suitable to be your wife … I don't understand love at all, and I only know how to work all day, and I'm cold to you, and I don't even let you into my room, but you want me to be your wife … I've said so much, but in fact, everything is very clear, isn't it?!
You've never thought of giving up on Seventeen, and you've always been by my side because of her!!! "
His body softly leaned against the railing. Yang Chen's face was pale, as if his soul had been sucked out. It was as if he had experienced a long, chaotic battle.
Yang Cheng stared blankly at the river in the distance, and his eyes dimmed. He murmured, "Ruoxi, don't say it … I beg you … I beg you … don't say it …"
Lin Ruoxi raised her head and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. She smiled apologetically and gently, "I'm sorry. I know it's heartless and cold-blooded to say this. I know you've done a lot of things for me … I've seen it with my own eyes, and you've helped me behind my back. But I couldn't help it just now … These words, these questions, I've been suppressing and hiding them in my heart. It's like a slow-acting poison eroding my internal organs. I'm also in great pain.
Since Christen told me about her that day, I've wanted to ask you several times, but I didn't dare to. I'm also worried about the consequences, and I'm afraid I can't bear it. But fortunately, I'm stronger than I thought, and I believe you won't be defeated by these words.
Maybe it's because I'm abroad, I don't have so much work to distract me, and I don't have family around, so I have more time to think. Today, what happened just now happened, all these little reasons came together, and you took the initiative to let me ask you, so I said what I haven't said before … In the future, I won't say this to you anymore … "
Yang Chen remained silent, as if he didn't hear anything.
Lin Ruoxi bit her lips, and said, "The press conference is about to start, I'm going back to my seat. If you don't want to attend, it's okay, I know you must be in a bad mood. And your friend came to see you, there must be something. You don't have to care too much about what I said, just think of it as me complaining and complaining. Don't we often quarrel and have a cold war? It's the same this time, anyway … life will go on as usual. "
After saying that, Lin Ruoxi tidied up her appearance, turned around, and calmly walked back to her seat.
When she passed by Solon, Solon nodded respectfully, and Lin Ruoxi also smiled politely at him.
Everyone present saw Lin Ruoxi walk back to her seat, and they discussed what had happened. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lin Ruoxi had cried.
Stern and Alice, the siblings, were much quieter. Seeing Lin Ruoxi's expression, they just looked at her worriedly and didn't say anything.
Lin Ruoxi didn't care too much about the discussions and gazes of others. She quickly got into work mode, picked up the document and looked at it carefully.
At this time, the person in charge who ran away just now walked in front of Lin Ruoxi with a flattering smile, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Lin, may I ask, can the press conference begin?"
Lin Ruoxi was stunned and wondered, "Why ask me, this shouldn't be decided by me."
The person in charge smiled and said, "If you're not ready, we can wait for you. By the way, Mr. Yang hasn't returned to his seat yet, should we wait for him to come back before we start?" As the person in charge said that, he looked at Yang Cheng who was still standing on the shore with awe in his eyes.
Lin Ruoxi suddenly understood and thought it was a little ridiculous. Everyone present was actually afraid of Yang Cheng's mysterious identity, and all the decision-making power was given to Yang Cheng and herself.
"You don't have to be so nervous. What happened just now was a personal grudge, don't affect the progress of the fashion week," Lin Ruoxi advised.
The person in charge immediately nodded to show that he understood, "Miss Lin is really magnanimous. At the reception later at noon, please do us the honor. It's your first time attending the fashion week, we must do our best as a host …"
Lin Ruoxi casually responded with a few words, indicating for them to hurry up and start. She wasn't interested in the reception at all.
However, she couldn't help but look at the back of the figure standing by the river. The feeling in Lin Ruoxi's heart was indescribably complicated …
At this time, standing by the railing, Yang Cheng, who had been standing for a long time, finally came to his senses.
Yang Cheng raised his left hand and beckoned with his fingers.
Sauron, who had been standing behind, understood and walked to Yang Cheng's side.
Yang Cheng sighed and asked, "Sauron, let me ask you a question. Answer me honestly."
Sauron's expressionless face remained the same. His lips moved, "Your Majesty Pluto, I never lie."
"Very good." Yang Cheng said, "Tell me, in your eyes, am I someone who will deceive myself to cover up my cowardice …"
A glimmer of light flashed through Sauron's turbid eyes, "Your Majesty Pluto, although I am your subordinate, in terms of age, your question is the same as your age, very immature."
"Hmm?" Yang Cheng couldn't help but laugh, "Now that you mention it, it seems that my question is very stupid."
Sauron replied directly, "I believe that deceiving and confessing are just methods. As long as you admit your feelings, that is the performance of an expert. A true expert doesn't depend on his own strength, but whether he can face and work hard to solve problems in adversity. "
Yang Cheng narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and laughed self-deprecatingly, "It seems that my question is indeed stupid … Yes, whether I am really cowardly or strong, as long as I face the problem, I have a clear conscience."
Sauron didn't say anything, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Although it couldn't be said that he had thrown away all his worries, Yang Cheng pulled his heart back and turned to ask Sauron, "Suddenly coming to a place like this to find me, I don't think it's just to see me, right? You saw it too, when you appeared, the situation almost went out of control. "
Sauron's expression became more solemn, and he nodded, "Indeed, there is something important. I believe Your Majesty Pluto has heard about it. The 'International Special Organization Secret Meeting' organized by France's External Security Bureau will be held in Paris."
Yang Cheng frowned, "I have heard about it. It seems to be a terrorist organization that is fighting against the 'Realm of Gods', and the leader is' Apollo. ' I actually have some dealings with people from this organization. I was kidnapped as soon as I arrived in France, and it was done by an affiliated organization. "
"That's right, I didn't expect Your Majesty to have already come into contact with them. However, I came to see Your Majesty specifically because, other than to see Lady Persephone, there is another matter that I urgently want to tell Your Majesty, "Sauron said.
"What? Don't tell me that you already know whether Apollo is real or not!" Yang Cheng laughed.
Sauron shook his head, "Whether Apollo is real or not is not something that we care about, and it is not something that we can determine. What I want to tell Your Majesty Pluto is that in the secret meeting tomorrow night, apart from discussing how to find Apollo and the Realm of Gods, there is another matter that is closely related to Your Majesty. It is about the fight for the ownership of a 'Divine Artifact.' "
"Divine Artifact?" Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, "You can't be talking about the one that the previous Pluto lost, right? That is no ordinary Divine Artifact. I fought with Ares a while ago, and the power of a Divine Artifact in the possession of a Lord God is indeed astonishing. Ares' Spear can actually freeze space, and I believe that the power of the other Lord Gods' Divine Artifacts must be extraordinary. If such an item really appeared, there is no way that I wouldn't have sensed it. "
Sauron was slightly surprised, as if he did not know about the battle between Yang Cheng and Ares. However, he did not ask further, and continued to explain, "That 'Divine Artifact' is indeed not in the possession of the Twelve Main Gods, but its owner is closely related to Your Majesty Pluto."
"Don't keep me in suspense. Who is it, and what Divine Artifact?" Yang Cheng asked helplessly.
"It is the weapon of the 'Grim Reaper' Thanatos, the Sword of Thanatos."
Grim Reaper Thanatos?
