Chapter 17 Jiang Yubai, do you want to marry me?

Ruan Fangnan's eyes widened in shock, he looked at her in disbelief, and shook his head frantically: "Impossible!"

His firm tone surprised Ruan Yuntang slightly. Then she looked at her uncle's strange expression and said thoughtfully:

“But Aunt Qin said that Shen Weian treated me like this all these years because I’m not his daughter.”

"What?" Ruan Fangnan's face turned pale, and he slid his wheelchair frantically. "This bastard actually misunderstood you and your mother like this. I'm going to kill him!"

Ruan Yuntang held his hand and stared at him, "Uncle, do you know the inside story?"

Ruan Fangnan's body stiffened, and he finally sighed and told the story that happened many years ago.

After hearing everything, Ruan Yuntang was extremely shocked.

It turned out that Ruan Fangnan was just an adopted son of the Ruan family. He had been in love with Ruan's mother in his early years, but his grandfather was an old-fashioned man and insisted on finding a son-in-law for Ruan's mother.

When Ruan Fangnan heard the news, he rushed back desperately, but it was at that time that he was ambushed by the enemy and injured in the leg.

Becoming disabled, Ruan Fangnan had no choice but to give up Ruan Lan.

"I can swear that your mother and I have never crossed the line in anything." Ruan Fangnan's fingers, gripping the wheelchair, turned slightly white.

Of course Ruan Yuntang believed him. She could also see that he still loved Ruan's mother deeply, otherwise he would not be so good to her.

"Of course I believe you."

Ruan Yuntang pried open his fingers, held them, and took out a sachet from her bag and put it on them.

"Uncle, this is a homemade pain-relieving and sleeping pill pack I made. I heard your legs hurt at night, and this might help."

Ruan Fangnan's heart warmed. Looking at the blue embroidered sachet in his palm, pride welled up in his eyes. "Our Tangtang is really amazing."

Ruan Yuntang pushed him into the room with a smile, then returned to his own room.

In the middle of the night, she went downstairs to the storage room, and quickly moved the piled sacks away, finally revealing a warped wooden board.

She opened the wooden board and a cellar appeared before her.

Ruan Yuntang took out a flashlight from the space and went down the stairs.

This cellar is even larger than the previous secret passage, about 100 square meters, and is filled with dozens of large boxes and several safes.

The box is locked and the safe has a combination.

Shen Weian was very cunning and only told her the password of the safe.

Ruan Yuntang easily opened a safe, which contained a thick stack of cash and dozens of large yellow croakers.

After she emptied the safe, she looked at the remaining boxes, a sarcastic arc appearing at the corner of her lips.

Shen Weian wanted to use these visible but unopenable boxes to trick her into rescuing him.

Unfortunately, he was wrong.

Just because she can’t open it now doesn’t mean she won’t be able to open it in the future, right?

Ruan Yuntang immediately put all the dozens of boxes and safes into the space.

Then she left the cellar with a clear mind.

Thinking that Ruan Moli had not returned yet and the servants had been dismissed by her, she quickly packed all the food in the kitchen and the valuable furniture in the house into the space.

She collected the money one by one, not even missing the guest room.

Until she received the last room, and when she pushed the door open as usual, she bumped into a pair of dark and deep eyes.

The man sat by the window, the fragmented moonlight filtered into silver foil and fell on his shoulders.

His white shirt was not fully buttoned, and his wet hair was dripping with water. The water droplets ran along his collarbone, across his chest muscles, and into his shirt, which was very suggestive.

"Have you seen enough?"

Ruan Yuntang almost shook her head subconsciously. After realizing what was happening, she quickly looked away and took the initiative:

"Why haven't you left yet? I pushed the door open because I thought you had left."

Jiang Yubai frowned and looked at her indifferently, "Why are you leaving after I paid?"

"..." Ruan Yuntang was stunned for a moment before he remembered that the poor male supporting role was still a pauper.

Without parents and home, Jiang Yubai's army allowance was also taken away by the family who once took him in.

"It's my fault, it's up to you." Ruan Yuntang laughed awkwardly, took a step back, and considerately closed the door for him. He also reminded him, "Dry your hair before going to bed, be careful not to catch a cold."

The door closed with a click, and the room returned to silence.

Jiang Yubai stared at the gate with his dark pupils, and recalled the girl's pitying eyes and words that seemed to care, and sneered.

He remembered that when they first met, Ruan Yuntang's heart was completely devoted to Yang Chuan. Just for Yang Chuan's sake, he looked at him with contempt and nodded distantly.

On the day he moved into Ruan's house, as soon as he stepped into the house in his grass green Liberation shoes, she scolded him with disdain:

"Why don't you change your shoes? What if you make my floor dirty?"

For such a person, would you still care whether he will catch a cold?

…

Ruan Yuntang returned to his room and was about to wash up when he suddenly thought of a big problem.

It seems that neither the original owner nor his scumbag father turned on the water heater in Jiang Yubai's room.

Didn't he take a cold shower?

What's even more terrifying is that he doesn't think I just ridiculed him.

Ruan Yuntang quickly put on his clothes, went downstairs to turn on the main switch of the water heater, then found a hair dryer and knocked on his door again.

After a while, the door opened.

Jiang Yubai looked at her with gloomy and impatient eyes, "You'd better—"

Ruan Yuntang quickly and accurately stuffed the hair dryer into his hand and scolded him, "I forgot to turn on the water heater in your room. Why didn't you remind me? I only noticed it when it tripped just now."

"..." Jiang Yubai frowned, and stared at her with his black eyes.

Ruan Yuntang's heart beat rapidly for a few times, but his face remained as still as a clock. He even stared at him with his big, sincere eyes and said with a smile:

"You forgot too, didn't you? Don't forget next time. Taking a cold shower is not good for your health."

After saying that, she turned and walked away, as if a ghost was chasing her.

Jiang Yubai frowned even more tightly.

He looked down at the latest hair dryer in his hand and smiled absurdly.

She is treating him like a fool!

…

Lying on the bed again, Ruan Yuntang felt at ease.

Sleep till dawn.

Early in the morning, there was a knock on the door downstairs. Ruan Yuntang squinted his eyes and went downstairs to open the door.

Two people wearing red armbands were standing outside the door.

"Hello, we are from the subdistrict office. Please report to the Youth League Office within three days."

Ruan Yuntang suddenly woke up.

How could it happen so quickly? In the original text, someone would only take the original owner to the countryside after she married Yang Chuan.

One of them looked inside the house through the crack in the door, and Ruan Yuntang blocked it without leaving a trace, "I know."

The man didn't see anything, just glared at her, turned around and walked away, muttering to his companions as he walked: "There's not a single good person in this family, they really need to be sent to the countryside for reform!"

Ruan Yuntang frowned and closed the door, and Ruan Fangnan was pushed down by Butler Yang.

"Tangtang, how about your uncle take you away?"

Ruan Yuntang pondered for a moment and shook his head: "No, I have a way."

"What method?" Ruan Fangnan asked in surprise.

Ruan Yuntang glanced upstairs, took a few deep breaths, and rushed upstairs in one go.

Just as I was about to knock on the door, it opened first.

Ruan Yuntang's hand stopped in mid-air, and she met the man's thoughtful eyes. The words rolled in her throat several times before she said:

"Jiang Yubai, do you want to marry me?"
