Chapter 30 It's His Fault
There was no sound from the person in the bedroom.
Zhou Xu knocked on the door a few more times, "Ruoyu."
After calling out several times, Ruoyu still showed no intention of responding to Zhou Xu.
After a while, the noise at the door disappeared.
Ruoyu let out a long breath, thinking that Zhou Xu had lost his patience with her. Then she slowly crawled out from under the quilt.
As soon as his head popped out, he heard a "bang".
The door of the second bedroom was directly opened by brute force.
The loud noise caught Ruoyu's ears off guard, and her heart skipped a beat and her body trembled.
She slowly raised her eyes and saw Zhou Xu standing at the door with a gloomy face. She subconsciously wanted to get into bed and wrap herself tightly with the quilt.
As soon as she turned around, Zhou Xu grabbed her ankle. Zhou Xu looked gentle and thin, but he was the type who showed off his physique when he took off his clothes. He was very strong. He easily pulled Ruoyu in front of him.
The tingling sensation of her ankle being rubbed by his palm made Ruoyu feel uncomfortable. She blushed and bit her lip: "Let me go."
"No." Zhou Xu was stubborn.
Ruoyu didn't want to argue with Zhou Xu with a loud voice and red face. She was not good at arguing, and she didn't want to get angry.
Seeing that Zhou Xu wouldn't let go, Ruoyu simply lay down and buried her face in the quilt, letting Zhou Xu hold her ankles as much as he wanted. They had been married for five years, and there was no place in the world that Zhou Xu hadn't touched or seen.
Ruoyu's refusal to communicate reminded Zhou Xu of Huanyu back in Changjing. Although Huanyu was still young, she had a terrible temper, especially when she was sulking.
I didn't expect it to be like my mom.
Zhou Xu sighed lightly. Seeing that Ruoyu didn't want to talk to him, he slowly leaned over and pressed on her. He took off the quilt that was covering her face and kissed Ruoyu's earlobe gently.
What Ruoyu can't stand the most is being kissed on the ears.
She stretched out her hand and pushed Zhou Xu away, "Don't kiss me..."
But Zhou Xu didn't listen, and instead became more and more excessive.
Ruoyu blushed deeply. Seeing Zhou Xu's indifferent expression, she used all her strength to push him in front of her and glared at him angrily: "Zhou Xu!"
Zhou Xu retracted his desire when he saw that Ruoyu was finally willing to look at him straight in the eye.
"Ruoyu, I know everything."
Ruoyu was stunned, sadness flashed across her eyes, and she fell silent.
In the past, she might not even have the courage to be angry. She would just digest all the negative emotions by herself, looking at the text messages and photos Qin Bilan sent her, holding back tears.
But now Shi Huai brought herself to Jiang An to teach a lesson to those who tried to interfere in her marriage with Zhou Xu.
Now that she has come this far, if she is too reluctant to speak up at the critical moment, then what will all the grievances she has suffered before mean?
Shi Huai had repeatedly advised himself to live for himself. If others looked down on him, it was because they had no manners. He should not let others' gazes suppress him; he must never despise himself.
The relationship between her and Zhou Xu only appears to be full and beautiful on the surface, but in fact it is as fragile as a piece of white paper that can be torn with a single poke.
If she keeps enduring it, Qin Bilan might show up to bully her today, and there might be another Zhang Bilan the day after tomorrow.
Ruoyu frowned, "You just say you know, but where's the explanation?"
If Yu's emotions fluctuate greatly, her nose will become sore, her eyes will turn red, and she will cry.
"Zhou Xu, you've been busy with work and I haven't dared to disturb you. I know we're not a good match for each other, you're a child of genius, and I've been very cautious about marrying you, fearing that I'd cause you unnecessary trouble and provoke rumors that would embarrass you. But just because I'm just an ordinary person, do I deserve to be treated like this and looked down upon?"
"If you told me five years ago that you wanted to marry me to forget your relationship with Qin Bilan, I would not have married you."
Hearing the second half of the sentence, Zhou Xu's pupils suddenly shrank and he clenched his fists: "So you regret marrying me?"
Ruoyu sniffed and lowered her eyelashes that were wet with tears. Just as she was about to nod in agreement, Zhou Xu held her in his arms forcefully.
Zhou Xu's body was shaking. Anger mixed with various emotions made his body tremble violently, causing Ruoyu's body to tremble as well.
"Nothing happened between Qin Bilan and me." Zhou Xu's breathing was heavy, and he held Ruoyu's arms even tighter.
"She was my classmate in college, and there was no question of me dating her. Someone at school secretly took photos of me and Qin Bilan chatting in the classroom and posted them on a forum. The rumor didn't last more than a day before I had it deleted."
Zhou Xu was as flustered as a child. He took out his cell phone and opened the photo album.
"Those photos she sent you were all taken out of context!" Zhou Xu handed the photo album to Ruoyu. "I stayed up all night, and the sofa I was lying on was a makeshift lounge. Cheng Ling and the others were there too."
"The photo she sent of me choosing jewelry in the store was a custom-made sixth-anniversary gift I made for you. The necklace has your name engraved on it. I'll pick it up for you tomorrow. I had no idea when she came and how she secretly took this photo."
"There are also photos of people eating desserts. I heard that this dessert shop has zero sugar and zero additives. I plan to buy some for Huanyu to try."
Ruoyu listened to Zhou Xu listing the real reasons for these photos one by one, biting her lower lip tightly, not knowing how to respond to Zhou Xu.
Zhou Xu stretched out his fingertips and gently wiped away the tears on Ruoyu's face. "I neglected your feelings because of my work. I didn't realize how much you endured for me."
"Ruoyu, I've never cared about family background or education, and I didn't decide to get married because I wanted to forget a previous relationship. I wanted to marry you because you're the one I want to marry."
Zhou Xu, who was known for his silence, expressed his true feelings.
He was not a frivolous person. In order to forget a relationship, he delayed another woman's time and future. What was the difference between this and marriage fraud? Zhou Xu would never do it in his life.
Ruoyu lowered her head deeply, still without saying a word, but tears fell from her eyes.
She misunderstood Zhou Xu.
But in her heart, she also blamed Zhou Xu for his silence and lack of concern, and she blamed herself for her own humbleness and cowardice.
Normally, whether it was work or daily trivial matters, he rarely reported to Ruoyu or talked about them too much. He handled most of the things on his own. If Ruoyu wanted to ask about him, he would just brush her off with words like "It's okay, don't worry."
The lack of communication between the two of them meant that after a while, no one would hesitate to ask about the situation. It was like a married couple living under the same roof, each doing their own job.
Seeing Ruoyu's pitiful appearance with red nose and tears in her eyes, Zhou Xu felt very guilty.
It's his fault.
In this marriage, Ruoyu was perfect. She gave him a warm home, took care of his life in every possible way, and gave birth to a beautiful and lovely daughter for him. However, she was busy with work and rarely cared about Ruoyu's emotions. She never stood in Ruoyu's perspective to think about and understand her emotions and situation.
It is his great fortune to marry Ruoyu, and he is the luckiest man in the world.
"Don't regret marrying me, okay?"
