Chapter 21: Is this forced love?
The fine moonlight filtered into silver foil and fell on his shoulders. His cold white jawline was as sharp as a knife. He looked at her with indifferent eyes, without a trace of emotion.
It was as if he wasn't the one saying this.
Ruan Yuntang raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "I'll think about it."
After a pause, she spread her hands helplessly, "After all, I have a lot of choices."
As she finished speaking, the man suddenly approached her.
One step, two steps, three steps...
It was so close that she could clearly see a small brown mole at the corner of his eye hidden in the shadow, like a grain of cold frost on a branch on a snowy night.
At the moment when their eyelashes trembled, their shoulders and necks touched.
He suddenly leaned closer and stretched out his hand, aiming at what seemed to be her face.
The refreshing mint scent from the man's arms rushed into her nose. Ruan Yuntang's breathing stagnated and she stepped back subconsciously, but behind her was the door to someone else's room.
With no way out, she bit her lip and wondered how to refuse him.
No, is this forced love?
This novel's progress bar is too fast...
At this moment, three muffled "dong dong dong" sounds suddenly came from above my head.
At the same time, a faint voice came into my ears.
"Take your time to choose."
After he finished speaking, the dark shadow in front of him suddenly retreated.
The man walked straight past her and disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Ruan Yuntang: ???
Before she could finish her complaint, the door in front of her was opened.
Zhou Songyan looked at her in surprise and smiled, "I thought I was going to take a cold shower today."
"How could that be? I just helped them fix it." Ruan Yuntang explained awkwardly.
"I saw that you seemed very nervous, so it was just a joke. Don't mind it." Zhou Songyan took a step back and gave way like a gentleman.
He smiled gently, but Ruan Yuntang felt his scalp tingling and quickly went into the house and went straight to the bathroom.
When he heard his name, Ruan Yuntang knew that he was the good brother of the original male protagonist and the second yandere male lead in the book.
The original text did not mention that he and the original owner were childhood sweethearts, and he had never been to Jiangcheng, let alone visit the original owner who had been demoted.
So he definitely had other purposes for coming this time.
Zhou Songyan leaned against the door, looked at the man who was adjusting the thermostat, and said jokingly:
"Why do I feel like you're afraid of me? Are you shy?"
Ruan Yuntang didn't look up, just said "hmm" lightly and quickened his hands.
Zhou Songyan frowned.
The little girl is not as stupid as the old man said.
Soon, Ruan Yuntang adjusted the water heater and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Zhou Songyan stopped the person who was in a hurry to leave and handed him a wooden box. "This is a gift from my mother. I hope you like it."
As he spoke, he opened the wooden box.
Inside the box was an exquisite jade hairpin and an Omega watch.
The gift is valuable, it seems that the purpose is not small!
Seeing that she didn't answer, Zhou Songyan's eyebrows were stained with a hint of sadness.
"My mother has been bedridden for many years, and I don't know how much longer she has left. She has been worried about you and hasn't come to see you, so she asked me to bring you a gift this time, and I ask you to accept it."
Ruan Yuntang was unmoved. "I accept your kindness, but no need for a gift. I will definitely visit Auntie when I have the chance."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Surprise flashed in Zhou Songyan's eyes. He lowered his eyes to look at the things in the box. A hint of viciousness flashed across his eyes. He closed the box and threw it on the table.
…
Ruan Yuntang ran back to her room in one breath, but her uncle was waiting for her at the door with a smile on his face.
"Tangtang, how about it? Do you like anything?" he asked impatiently.
Ruan Yuntang's scalp tingled. He opened the door, pushed his uncle into the room, closed the door, and then said:
"No."
Ruan Fangnan frowned, "Didn't you have a good chat with that Zhou Songyan?"
"That's what he keeps saying." Ruan Yuntang said unhappily, and then analyzed: "And he's probably after our money."
Ruan Fangnan's face darkened slightly, and he sighed again, "Actually, if he's good to you, it wouldn't be a big deal if your uncle gave him some money."
"Even if you want a man to be rich and handsome, you can't just want him to be nice to you. If you have that kind of money, you might as well give it to me." Ruan Yuntang was speechless.
“…”Ruan Fangnan.
“What about the other two? Chen Hai looks honest and capable, and Ana Shen’s family background is also rich.”
Ruan Yuntang slumped on the bed and said, "One has a language barrier, and the other has no connection."
In fact, she is not ready to truly maintain a marriage with someone, and she doesn't want to selfishly delay others.
Ruan Fangnan had never heard of the term "no call", but he probably understood it. He advised:
"These two issues are minor matters. We can cultivate our feelings and language skills slowly. What we need to do now is to get you out of here, whether it's to join the army or to go to the port city."
Ruan Yuntang looked at the worry between his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, uncle. I can handle it."
Ruan Fangnan felt relieved when he saw her calm demeanor. He persuaded her a few more times before returning to the house.
After he left, Ruan Yuntang quickly went to Shen Weian's room and found the household registration book under the bed.
She quickly put the household registration book into the space and then returned to the house with peace of mind.
After taking only two steps, I heard knocks on the door downstairs.
Ruan Yuntang was afraid of disturbing his uncle's rest, so he hurried downstairs.
When I opened the door, I was met with a pair of eyes filled with hatred.
"Ruan Yuntang, are you still a human being?"
"You're disturbing others in the middle of the night. Do you believe I can send you to reunite with your mother?" Ruan Yuntang threatened with a half-smile.
Ruan Moli was so angry that she almost bit her back teeth.
She looked for all her father and mother's friends in the afternoon, but was rejected everywhere.
Later, she went to the Yang family again, but she didn't expect that Brother Chuan and his family were actually kicked out by this dead girl, and now they have just settled down in the hotel.
A family of four squeezed into one room, with no place to sit.
She only discovered that the door locks had been changed when she returned home.
"Why did you change the lock? This is my house too!" she roared.
"Why?" Ruan Yuntang's eyes were filled with coldness as he sneered at her, "This is the Ruan family mansion. Have you even forgotten your real last name?"
“Moli Shen!”
Ruan Moli trembled all over.
Her father and mother had her change her surname to "Ruan" so that she could inherit a share of the Ruan family's property.
Yes, her last name is Ruan too!
She calmed herself down and raised her head confidently, "My last name is Ruan too, and I own a share of this house. What gives you the right to change the lock without permission?"
"You really have such a big face." Ruan Yuntang sneered, raised his household registration booklet, and said coldly: "Then you will not be one tomorrow."
"How come the household registration book is here with you?" Ruan Moli's pupils suddenly shrank and she reached out to grab it.
Ruan Yuntang knocked her hand hard and warned her, "If you keep knocking on the door, I will send you to reunite with your mother."
After saying that, she slammed the door shut.
The door brought a strong wind, which scraped Ruan Moli's face like a knife. She covered her hands with the back of her hands, her eyes red with humiliation, and hatred filled her chest.
She wanted to kick the door, but when she raised her foot, she thought of Ruan Yuntang's warning and became pathetic and cowardly again.
She didn't understand how the house could become like this in just a week.
Just when she was confused and wanted to die, a strange voice suddenly sounded in her mind.
