Chapter 11 The Same Gift

When Shen Yubai and Li Ruchu entered the house, there was deathly silence.

The two of them remained silent tacitly, and the sound of their footsteps echoed in the empty living room, adding a sense of coolness.

Shen Yubai walked straight to the bathroom, pushed open the frosted glass door, and the warm steam instantly enveloped him.

He stood under the shower, letting the water wash over his tired body.

After taking a shower, Shen Yubai pushed open the door of the cloakroom and his footsteps suddenly paused.

The area where Li Ruochu's clothes, bags and jewelry were originally placed was now empty, with only empty hooks and velvet trays left.

Shen Yubai's brows were tightly furrowed, and a hint of doubt and displeasure flashed in his deep eyes.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Li Ruochu's back. At this time, Li Ruochu was standing in front of the bedroom window, looking a little thin.

He opened his mouth and wanted to ask something, but swallowed the words back.

Then he took out his cell phone and slid his slender fingers across the screen a few times before putting the phone down.

In the evening, Li Ruochu walked into the cloakroom to change clothes.

When she opened the cabinet door, all kinds of luxury goods came into view in an instant. Bags were neatly arranged and jewelry sparkled with luxurious luster under the light.

However, there was no trace of surprise on her face. Instead, her brows were furrowed and her eyes showed disgust.

She paced slowly, her eyes sweeping over these expensive items, but there was no ripple in her heart, only waves of nausea.

Just as she turned around and was about to leave the cloakroom, she caught a glimpse of a familiar white color in the corner of the closet.

She paused, slowly squatted down, reached out and took out a pearl bracelet from the corner.

The round pearls were full and neatly arranged, exactly the same as the ones she remembered Gu Qiuying wearing.

Li Ruochu's expression instantly turned as cold as ice, and flames of anger burned in her eyes.

She quickly opened the jewelry boxes one by one.

Every time she opened one, her heart sank.

Most of the things were exactly the same as Gu Qiuying's. The styles and designs all hurt her heart.

It turned out that the so-called compensation that he had been looking forward to was just copied and pasted from Gu Qiuying.

Li Ruochu felt a surge of blood rushing to her head. Suddenly, she waved her hands wildly as if she had gone mad, pulling out the bags and jewelry from the cabinet one by one and throwing them to the ground.

Hearing the loud noise coming from the cloakroom, Shen Yubai immediately put down what he was doing and hurried to the cloakroom.

He pushed open the door and saw the mess on the floor. His brows knitted together instantly, but he still patiently asked, "Don't you like it?"

When Li Ruochu heard his voice, he turned his head sharply and stared at him with rage burning in his eyes: "It's not that I don't like it, it's disgusting! Chen Yubai, I don't need to tell you who you gave the same gift to."

"Chu Chu, why do you always have to compare yourself with Qiu Ying? No matter how good I am to her, you are still Mrs. Shen!" Shen Yubai stepped forward and tried to grab Li Ruochu's hand to calm her down, but Li Ruochu quickly dodged as if she had been electrocuted.

Li Ruochu suddenly laughed when she heard this, and she found that the Shen Yubai in her memory was no longer there.

“Chen Yubai, do you think I like Mrs. Shen’s position?” Li Ruochu’s eyes were red, and his voice trembled slightly, with a hint of determination and resentment.

After saying that, she pushed Shen Yubai who was blocking her way away and walked straight towards the guest room.

Li Ruochu walked to the bed and fell down heavily. The mattress sank slightly due to her movement.

She lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, her thoughts tangled like a tangled mess.

Just then, she caught a glimpse of a figure swaying gently at the door from the corner of her eye. She was very familiar with the outline of that figure even in the dark.

A feeling of annoyance surged in her heart, so she reached out and pressed the switch on the bedside table hard, and the room instantly fell into darkness.

It seemed that he wanted to use this method to prevent Shen Yubai from entering this space.

Just when Li Ruochu was fully confident that Shen Yubai would tactfully leave, a cell phone suddenly rang outside.

After Shen Yubai answered the call, there was a moment of silence, and then Shen Yubai's voice sounded again outside: "I'll be there right away."

Then, the figure at the door flashed and disappeared.

Li Ruochu really couldn't think of anyone else except Gu Qiuying who could make Shen Yubai so nervous and rush over at this time.

Sure enough, just half an hour later, the screen of the mobile phone that Li Ruochu placed next to his pillow suddenly lit up.

She picked up her phone, unlocked the screen, and what came into view was the photo sent by Gu Qiuying.

In the photo, Gu Qiuying leaned intimately on Shen Yubai's shoulder with a smug smile on her lips.

Judging from the background, it seems to be in a hospital ward.

Before Li Ruochu had time to think about it, another message popped up on the phone screen: "Li Ruochu, divorce is your best choice. A Yu no longer has you in his heart."

Li Ruochu looked at these words, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he let out a bitter and somewhat sarcastic smile.

She tapped her slender fingers quickly on the phone screen and replied, "Then please work harder, Miss Gu. Only if you make Shen Yubai hate me, will our divorce be faster!"

After sending the message, she pressed the power button hard, the phone screen went out instantly, and the room fell into darkness again.

Shen Yubai kept dragging his feet and refusing to divorce, and she was helpless.

If he ran away from home rashly, with Shen Yubai's crazy temper, he would definitely attack Nan Nan's family.

How could she be so selfish as to disregard her friend's safety for her own relief?

Thinking of this, Li Ruochu bit his lower lip, and his eyes gradually became firm in the darkness.

She decided to change her mind. Since Shen Yubai asked her to return to the company, she would accept this "good intention".

Only by making Gu Qiuying anxious and forcing her to do something out of line, once she loses her sense of proportion, Shen Yubai might agree to divorce.

As he thought about it, Li Ruchu gradually fell asleep.

In the early hours of the morning, there was a slight sound of a door opening in the quiet room. The sound was particularly clear in the quiet night.

Although Li Ruochu had her eyes closed, her hearing was extremely sharp. She felt someone sitting down gently beside the bed and the mattress sank slightly.

The next second, a warm embrace wrapped her up, and a familiar scent lingered at the tip of her nose. It was the unique smell of Shen Yubai.

Li Ruochu frowned subconsciously, her heart full of resistance. She closed her eyes tightly, turned over hard, pulled the quilt to wrap herself tightly, as if to draw a clear line between herself and Shen Yubai.

In the darkness, only a long and heavy sigh was heard from Shen Yubai.

That sigh seemed to contain endless helplessness and entanglement, echoing for a long time in the silent night.

Li Ruochu didn't know how long Shen Yubai had been standing there. When he opened his eyes in the morning, Shen Yubai was no longer around him.

There was no residual warmth beside him, so he must have not stayed here last night.

Maybe Li Ruchu didn't know that Shen Yubai sat in her room all night!
