"Divorce", "marriage with Miss Ling", these words pierced Lan Xiaolan's heart like a sharp weapon, and her originally warm heart turned cold in an instant.
Lan Xiaolan stopped and did not go in.
"You don't know that Miss Ling has been coming in and out of the Ren family mansion these days. She's been coming and going very frequently."
"Today, there are several boxes of brocade and silk, and tomorrow, there are several boxes of bird's nest supplements. Boxes of things are being delivered to the Ren family mansion non-stop."
When Aunt Rong and Ren Tingxi talked about this, their faces were full of disdain and resentment.
"Last time, a few servants joked that she was planning to move herself into this house."
Ren Tingxi stood coldly and silently beside him.
"Do you know what pissed me off the most? One time, Miss Ling was so rude that she sent a complete set of golden headdresses, including phoenix coronet and bridal robes, to our old house."
"Does she understand the meaning of that golden headdress? It's the headdress a bride wears when she gets married."
"She said she didn't know what it was, but just said she thought it looked nice, so she bought it as a gift for the old lady to cheer her up."
"The item was so precious that Madam Ren refused to accept it."
"She's just so good, acting like a spoiled brat in front of the Master and the Madam, saying things like, 'We'll all be family sooner or later.' It makes me angry just watching it."
"Later, Madam didn't accept the box of gold. After all, it was too valuable."
"Ms. Ling is so good. She said she won't take the gifts she brought with her. She also said that looking at this set of gold headdresses, she felt that she had a strong connection with the Ren family."
"I coaxed the old lady into a state of ecstasy. She was so bewildered that she asked me to deliver this box of gold directly to your bedroom. She also said that it would belong to her, Ling Muxue, from now on, so I would put it in your room first and you can wear it later."
"Second Young Master, tell me, is this infuriating?"
Ren Tingxi grew up under Aunt Rong's careful care. Aunt Rong loved him like her own child, so she spoke her mind and said so many things.
All that could be heard in the kitchen was Aunt Rong's nagging and complaining voice. Ren Tingxi was clearly in there, but he still didn't make a sound in response for a long time.
Lan Xiaolan's cold heart suddenly rose to her throat, and the throbbing feeling made her nervous.
She was eager to hear what Ren Tingxi thought and attitude was towards these things.
But after a while, Ren Tingxi, who was clearly in the kitchen, still did not respond.
The only sounds in the kitchen were the trickle of water running from the faucet and the clinking of dishes.
Aunt Rong's tidying work was about to come to an end, and Ren Tingxi finally spoke.
"Aunt Rong, there's something I want to ask you."
"If you have anything to say, just tell me. I have taken care of you for most of my life. Why are you still being so polite to me?"
"Xiaolan returned to China with me and lived here with me. I don't want others to know for the time being."
"As for my family, I hope you can keep it a secret for me for now."
It was like a bolt of lightning, hitting Lan Xiaolan right on the head.
She heard every word Ren said just now so clearly.
He said that he didn't want others to know about her and him.
Especially his family.
As for the matter between him, the Ling family, and Ling Muxue, he did not express his opinion, did not answer, did not deny, and did not have the slightest intention of denying it.
Ren Tingxi had no explanation for Aunt Rong's complaints just now.
Lan Xiaolan's heart, which had been hanging in the balance just now, was now completely broken.
She was too exhausted to listen to the rest of the words and didn't dare to continue.
Those trembling legs had already retreated backwards without him noticing.
She ran back to the bedroom and covered her eyes with her hands, afraid that the liquid dripping from the corners of her eyes would stain the pure bedding and sheets.
She was afraid that when Ren Tingxi came in, he would find out something about her, and would know that she had just heard something she shouldn't have heard.
Lan Xiaolan tried her best to wipe away her tears and covered her head with the quilt, not daring to let the outside world hear any of her helpless sobs.
My heart aches like dead ashes.
But clearly, just before this morning, he was still so gentle and considerate to her, and still so good to her.
In the blink of an eye, when his parents and Ling Muxue were mentioned, Ren Tingxi's expression immediately changed.
Isn’t it true that people really have two sides?
He wants to be nice to her on this side, but also wants to be nice to her on the other side. Is this the way to have the best of both worlds what Ren Tingxi wants?
However, since he and Ling Muxue have feelings for each other and have such an inseparable connection with the Ling family, why did he chase her all the way to Country E?
He also tricked her into signing the divorce agreement.
And at the charity auction, hadn't he announced to everyone that she was his wife?
But now, what is happening in the country?
Countless question marks were like hailstones falling mercilessly on a summer afternoon, striking Lan Xiaolan's heart, which was walking on thin ice, again and again.
She sat up from the bed and walked into the bathroom. Her face was full of grievances, and she couldn't wipe away the damn tears no matter how hard she tried.
Lan Xiaolan turned on the cold tap water and let the cold water on her pubic area flow over her body.
Perhaps only in this way can the burning heart be calmed down a little.
In the kitchen, Aunt Rong stared at Ren Tingxi with a puzzled look on her face, looking at him again and again.
