Chapter 30 Chapter 30 I Want Your Heart
At half past ten, Ruan Xiangyi's cell phone rang. She reached out to pick it up, but was grabbed by another hand with distinct veins.
"Phone..." Ruan Xiangyi pushed the person who was burying his head in her neck.
"Don't answer it."
"No, it should be Ruzhi who asked me when I'll be back."
Zhao Qingshi raised her head, and in the bright light in the room she clearly saw the small wound on his lip, which was caused by her biting it in a hurry just now.
"You still want to go back?"
"I promised her."
The grip on her hand gradually loosened, and finally dropped. He let go of her and turned his back. Ruan Xiangyi answered the phone and put it to her ear. As soon as the call was connected, the person behind her suddenly leaned over again. Before she could say anything, he covered her mouth.
Ruan Xiangyi opened her eyes wide.
Jiang Ruzhi's voice kept repeating on the phone: "Xiangyi? Can you hear me? Xiangyi? Are you back? No signal? Weird, Xiangyi?"
Ruan Xiangyi begged him to let her go with her eyes.
Zhao Qingshi mouthed to her, "Reject her."
Ruan Xiangyi shook her head.
That's no discussion.
No one spoke for a long time, and the person on the other end thought the signal was bad and hung up the phone. Ruan Xiangyi knew she would call again.
Ruan Xiangyi suddenly frowned and said, "It hurts."
Zhao Qingshi immediately let go of her, looking worried: "Where does it hurt?"
Finding an opportunity, Ruan Xiangyi forcefully pushed him away from her: "Don't cover my mouth again."
Zhao Qingshi was pushed half a meter away. He stared at her in astonishment for a few seconds before smiling. Ruan Xiangyi's scalp tingled under his gaze. Then, the phone rang again. She glanced at him warily and clicked on it again. Seeing that he didn't move, she tidied her hair by her ear and asked softly, "Hello? Ruzhi."
Jiang Ruzhi was almost scared to death over there: "Was there no signal just now? No one spoke. I thought something happened to you."
"It's okay, there might have been no signal just now."
Jiang Ruzhi asked: "You...will you come back tonight?"
Ruan Xiangyi hesitated and didn't answer immediately. After a while, Jiang Ruzhi heard her lame excuse on the phone: "Sorry, Ruzhi, my car just broke down. I may not be able to come back tonight."
The man beside her immediately relaxed his brows when he heard her answer. He lay down in a good mood and held one of her hands in his palm to play with it, but Ruan Xiangyi ruthlessly pushed it away.
Zhao Qingshi: “…”
Jiang Ruzhi was prepared for her not returning by this time, and Zhou Zilang also advised her not to meddle in other people's affairs. But that was her personality. She believed that Zhao Qingshi had deceived Ruan Xiangyi, and these rich men only targeted young girls like this.
"Xiangyi, there are some things I want to talk to you about. I hope you won't be upset."
"you say."
"Do you like Zhao Qingshi?" Jiang Ruzhi asked.
It was like a bomb hitting his head. Ruan Xiangyi glanced at the person next to him. He was looking at him leisurely. The room was very quiet and he heard the content of the phone call.
Ruan Xiangyi avoided his gaze: "Why do you ask this?"
Jiang Ruzhi: "I actually hope you don't like him. Do you know that Zhao Qingshi is married? He's only with you now because he wants your body. No man is a good person."
"If his wife finds out, you'll end up in a terrible situation." At this point, Jiang Ruzhi gave her an example, and Zhao Qing frowned and squinted from time to time.
What the hell?
Half an hour later, Ruan Xiangyi hung up the phone. Zhao Qingshi, who had listened to nothing but insults for half an hour, smiled sinisterly, "What's missing from your colleague?"
Ruan Xiangyi was alert: "What do you want to do?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to give her some benefits." He stopped laughing. "She doesn't need to use her mouth to persuade you to be with me. It's a waste of time."
“…”
"She misunderstood. She said these words for my own good."
“…”
"Then why don't you refute it?" Zhao Qingshi raised her hand. "Where's the ring?"
Ruan Xiangyi flexed her fingers and said, "I picked it and put it in my bag."
"Didn't we agree to use it as a decoration?"
"I'm afraid of dropping it..." The rest of his words became less and less confident.
"I want to hear the truth."
"Because..." Ruan Xiangyi felt guilty and couldn't say it.
"Because you don't want people to know that you and I are a couple?" Zhao Qingshi turned the ring on his hand and completed the sentence for her lightly.
Ruan Xiangyi: "I will confess our relationship to her when I find a chance."
Zhao Qingshi smiled: "It's too late. I know you are trying to coax me, right?"
I'm not kidding you, I'm sincere. Ruan Xiangyi opened her mouth to explain, but she heard Zhao Qingshi say, "I really don't understand sometimes. What exactly am I inferior to Chen Huaimeng, huh? Why don't you tell me? Financial resources? Power? Probably not. In these aspects, he is just an ant to me. Appearance? I'm not bad either. Is it his temperament? Do you like polite people? Or is it his age? I admit that I am much older than you, but I don't think that's why I lose to him. My experience, experience, and resources can pave the way for you. I can give you whatever you want. You should know that my ability far exceeds my age."
"Stop talking." Ruan Xiangyi didn't like him comparing her with others.
"Oh... I see. It's about love, right?" Zhao Qingshi's smile deepened as he analyzed the last possibility. "You grew up together. You went to every school he went to, and you're currently attending the same university he went to. You wanted to take the postgraduate entrance exam simply because you wanted to continue attending the same school with him. If we hadn't slept together, you would have been with him a long time ago. But these are all hypotheticals now. My name, Zhao Qingshi, is listed as your spouse on your marriage certificate. You..."
Ruan Xiangyi interrupted him: "Stop talking, it has nothing to do with him at all."
The air was quiet for a few seconds.
"Everyone has their own past, but that doesn't mean everyone wants to stay in the past." Ruan Xiangyi said slowly, "I really plan to live a good life with you."
"The words 'mutually agree' and 'live a good life' have many meanings, such as compromise and helplessness. If I married someone else instead of you, I would still manage this marriage well and live a good life with that person. This has nothing to do with any feelings; it's simply the nature of marriage and the responsibilities that the other person needs to fulfill."
He said a lot of things to refute her like a debater, but Ruan Xiangyi just felt that what he said was no different from what she said.
"So what do you want?"
"Will you give me what I want?"
"What."
Zhao Qingshi pointed at her heart and said, "I want you here."
"I want you to fall in love with me." He said it loudly.
Ruan Xiangyi was shocked by these words.
"Very difficult?"
Ruan Xiangyi shook her head.
"Not willing?"
Ruan Xiangyi continued to shake her head: "I will try."
The color of his eyes gradually deepened.
During the few seconds of silence, she was just thinking, what about you? You asked me to give up my feelings, so would you do the same to me?
In the end, she didn't ask. She believed that she could love someone for a long time, but she didn't believe that others would love her for a long time. Zhao Qingshi treated her very well, but the disparity in their status always made her uneasy. She felt that even if there was love or not, as long as he didn't betray her, it would be fine.
Zhao Qingshi had been waiting for her to ask. After two minutes, he saw that she showed no sign of speaking again. He looked up in disappointment and said, "I'll take you home."
He wished she would ask him to do the same, so he could tell her, "I've fallen in love with you and can't help myself." But she didn't ask. But it didn't matter. He was willing to accept her slow and steady approach. There was plenty of time to slowly remove that man from her heart, so that there would only be room for him.
