After a day's work, Tang Ruochu walked out of the office building with her colleagues.In autumn, Beining's sky would grow dark very early. The street lamps also turned on early. The row of lit street lamps looked quite beautiful.After saying goodbye to her colleagues, Tang Ruochu headed for the bus stop.Suddenly, a car stopped beside her. She turned around in astonishment. The car window wound down slowly, revealing the Shen Mofei's handsome face.Tang Ruochu could not help but smile. "Oh, Mofei, it's you.""Sister-in-law, let me drive you home.""No need, I can take the bus back myself." Tang Ruochu refused him, and then she said, "Aren't you going to keep Anyi company? Go ahead, don't worry about me."Shen Mofei frowned. "Sister-in-law, you didn't drive today?"Tang Ruochu said, "Mhmm. It's the weekend tomorrow, so I would like to take the public bus and enjoy the street scenery along the way. I haven't done that for a long time."She had been dealing with too much troubl
"Okay, I will call you the minute I finish dinner. You can come and pick me up after that."After chatting a little more, she hung up the phone and went in.Li Na saw her sit down across from her, the corners of her lips curving up in a smile. "Talking on the phone with your boyfriend?""No, it was my husband."Tang Ruochu lifted the pitcher and poured glasses of water for Li Na and herself. She did not realize what shock her casual remark had caused to Li Na's heart.She's actually married?!Li Na looked at her, knitting her brows. She asked very incredulously, "You're married?"Tang Ruochu nodded. "Yes, I've been married for quite some time now."She had not intended to hide the fact that she was married. She was just letting nature take its course. Those who had to would know eventually.So before Li Na, she very candidly admitted to the fact.But... Li Na seemed very surprised!So she smiled and asked, "Manager Li, do you find that incredible?""Yes. I had always though
After dinner, Tang Ruochu politely declined Li Na's offer to drive her home. She walked alone to the side of the road, waiting for Shijin to arrive.The night was dark, and street lights on both sides of the road shone obliquely on the asphalt road. A gentle breeze was blowing, with a hint of coolness.Tang Ruochu pulled up the thin windbreaker she was wearing, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and raised her head to wait for Shijin's car.In the distance, a car drove over, its dazzling headlights glaringly bright.Tang Ruochu instinctively turned her face, lifting her hand to shield her eyes, staring at the car."Screech!" She heard the sound of tires skidding on the road.The car stopped beside her.Tang Ruochu had thought it was Shijin's car. But when she looked closer, she found it was a stranger's.It was already so late. Why was this stranger's car stopping here?She squinted, and suspicion arose in her heart.She stared at the car warily and stepped back instinct
"Shijin, hurry... come and save me!""Where are you?" There was panic in Shijin's voice.Tang Ruochu told him where she was and hung up the phone. She continued to sprint with all her might.The wind was blowing in her ears. Tang Ruochu was unable to hear anything but her own labored breathing.Her legs seemed to be filled with lead. It was so heavy that she must slacken her pace. She turned back instinctively and saw the ferocious figure of the man approaching her.Panicking, she bit her lip and quickened her pace."You stinking whore! Don't let me catch you, or I'll make you suffer!"The man's yell rang out from behind her. Tang Ruochu knew he was telling the truth. If she were to fall into his hands again, she would surely suffer.But her legs became heavier and heavier, and she began to slow down. The man got closer and closer.She could not help but feel despair in her heart.She really could not run anymore!She bent down, her hands on her kneecaps, panting strenuously
After the police came and took Lu Chenxi away, Lu Shijin drove Tang Ruochu home.Once they reached home, Tang Ruochu immediately took a shower.After her body was cleansed, she sat on the bed and leaned against the headboard. She felt like she had just survived a disaster.But... that Lu Chenxi was Shijin's younger brother? Or younger cousin?On their way back, Shijin's handsome face had been all tensed up. She did not dare ask him, since he was looking so cold and solemn.It seemed that... before Lu Chenxi was taken away by the police, he had deliberately spoken in Shijin's ear. Very clearly, she had seen Shijin's complexion change color.What on earth had he said?Lu Shijin pushed the door open and came into the room. At the sight of her pensive face, he raised his slender eyebrows and strolled slowly over."What are you thinking about?" he asked softly.Tang Ruochu was startled, and then she smiled broadly. "Nothing."She moved to the other side of the bed, making way for
Tang Ruochu's eyebrows were raised almost imperceptibly. Then, she smiled. "Actually, it doesn't matter. The man I married is you. I don't care about anything else."Gazing intently at her small, lively, pretty face, Lu Shijin's heart trembled. He could not resist the tenderness which was about to overflow in his heart. He lowered his head and kissed her slightly-parted ruby lips.After kissing her lightly, he kept his lips on hers. "Chuchu... "His voice called out to her, tenderly and longingly. It made Tang Ruochu's heart tremble slightly. She could not help but hook his neck with her uplifted arms, then lift her head to kiss his lips, enjoying this intimacy to the fullest.Then, he put her gently on the bed. He then climbed over her and kissed her lips again.The wind gently lifted a corner of the curtain, behind which a couple was entangled in each other's arms.The moon hid bashfully in the clouds.It was a long autumn night.Tang Ruochu had fallen asleep to Lu Shijin's t
The moment Tang Ruochu hung up the phone, she ran upstairs. When she came down again, she had already changed her clothes.Auntie Wu saw her and asked quickly, "Young Madam, are you going out?""Yes, Auntie Wu. You don't have to prepare supper for us tonight. Shijin and I will eat out," said Tang Ruochu.She changed her shoes."Okay, I got it."After putting her slippers in the shoe cabinet, Tang Ruochu waved to Auntie Wu. "Auntie Wu, I'm going."Auntie Wu looked puzzled at her anxious, frantic face. She muttered, "Is there something urgent you need to see to, Young Madam?"Something urgent?!No, it was Miss Ying on a blind date. Unfortunately, she had met a weird man and needed someone to rescue her.In Qinlan Garden.A very elegant name.It was also a very high-class Chinese restaurant.Since the man had asked her to meet in such a nice restaurant, he must not be too bad.However, on the phone Xiaoxiao had kept saying how scary he was.She was very curious as to what ki
They were indeed a feuding couple! They would bicker each time they had a disagreement.Tang Ruochu sighed softly, then stepped up and whispered in Ying Xiaoxiao's ear. "Xiaoxiao, I brought Shengyao here to help you. If you make him go, no one will be left to help."Ying Xiaoxiao stared at Lu Shengyao and bit her lip. Then, she said reluctantly, "Alright."At that moment, a warm, genial voice rang out."Xiaoxiao, are these your friends?"Hearing the voice, Tang Ruochu turned her head and looked. A young face came into her view.Tang Ruochu was quite amazed. Didn't Xiaoxiao say her blind date was scary? She had imagined that he was hideous, yet he had unexpectedly turned out to be quite good-looking.He had a distinct profile with long, narrow eyes. His irises were as dark as ink, so deep that you could not see the bottom.When she heard the voice from behind, a flicker of impatience appeared on Ying Xiaoxiao's small, pretty face. She totally ignored the man and pulled Tang Ruoc
