Chapter 190: Self-deception



Liu Ruonan looked at Ning Haotian with a probing gaze, and Ning Haotian felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze. For some reason, his heart suddenly beat faster. He lowered his head, not wanting Liu Ruonan to see his flushed face.

He coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, then seemed a little lost. He raised his hand to pour a glass of water and spilled it.

Liu Ruonan frowned and looked at Ning Haotian with confusion.

"What are you doing? Are you really angry? You were the one who said the words 'unruly', I didn't even mention it."

Liu Ruonan thought Ning Haotian was angry with her, so she half-jokingly and half-coaxed him. Ning Haotian was only one year older than Liu Ruonan, and being of similar age, there wasn't much difference between them. The two of them interacted well, and aside from their frequent banter, there weren't many other conflicts.

"No." Ning Haotian shook his head and said, "I'm worried that you'll be pregnant and have a hard time. Your Zhuang Sheng will come to me to settle the score!"

"Our Zhuang Sheng is not so confused about right and wrong." Liu Ruonan rolled her eyes and responded. Speaking of Zhuang Sheng, her eyes were full of pride.

"Ruonan." Ning Haotian suddenly became quiet and looked at Liu Ruonan seriously. This was the first time he called Liu Ruonan by her name, and for a moment Liu Ruonan was a little stunned.

She smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha, I'm really not used to you calling me that."

"Actually, I'm quite curious about one thing." Ning Haotian said.

"You say." Liu Ruonan responded.

"Are there any feelings between you and Zhuang Sheng?" Ning Haotian asked directly.

Liu Ruonan hadn't expected Ning Haotian to be curious about this. Yes! In this era, many people, without any romantic feelings, simply glance at each other, find it passable, and then start a family. In modern parlance, many marriages are flash marriages, with the couple not really knowing each other very well.

However, people today have one advantage over people in the new era, that is, unless there are major unexpected circumstances, marriage will last a lifetime. Even if people have no feelings for each other, they can spend their lives together.

No wonder Ning Haotian had such doubts. Liu Ruonan smiled slightly and responded, "Of course there are feelings!"

"I've heard about what happened between you and Zhuang Sheng. You got to know each other under such circumstances and then got married. How could there be feelings between you under such circumstances?" Ning Haotian asked without giving up.

In fact, Ning Haotian was really concerned and curious about the relationship between Liu Ruonan and Zhuang Sheng. He even desperately hoped to hear Liu Ruonan respond to him: In fact, the relationship between her and Zhuang Sheng was just the relationship between husband and wife, where was the relationship between husband and wife?

However, Ning Haotian was just deceiving himself. What he knew was only one-sided.

He also knew that even if he had feelings for Liu Ruonan that he shouldn't have, he could only bury them deep in his heart. This was a very immoral thing to do. In ancient times, people who destroyed other people's marriages would be thrown into a pig cage.

Therefore, all he could do was hide his emotions and pretend that he didn't care.

Liu Ruonan smiled slightly, with an indescribable meaning in her smile. She took a sip of water, leaned back on the sofa, and said to Ning Haotian:

"Everyone thinks that Brother Zhuang Sheng and I met under those circumstances. In fact, we've had interactions long before, and he's saved my life many times..."

Liu Ruonan stopped talking here. Ning Haotian must have understood it.

What's more, there is more to her and Zhuang Sheng than just this, there is also an unfinished love affair from their previous life.

After a lifetime of entanglement, her greatest wish was to marry Zhuang Sheng with a clear conscience, to be his wife, and to spend her life with him. Liu Ruonan now suspects that it was perhaps because of this obsession that she was able to have the good fortune of being reborn.

Ning Haotian was silent. He had never known that Liu Ruonan and Zhuang Sheng had such a connection. However, he still had doubts in his heart. Could the only way to repay the life-saving grace be to repay it with one's body?

Ning Haotian knew that it was not appropriate for him to say anything more. If he said too much, it would seem inappropriate.

Liu Ruonan stood up and swayed her waist gently. Her belly was getting bigger, and she always felt tired after sitting for a long time, so she liked to walk around more and exercise more.

Liu Ruonan said, "Then I'll go back first and go to school tomorrow."

After Liu Ruonan finished speaking, she stood up and left. Ning Haotian and Liu Ruonan were never polite, so he didn't stand up to see her off. He just sat in his seat and watched Liu Ruonan leave.

Ning Haotian felt a little melancholy. He was confused and ignorant about love. The first time he felt moved, it was for a married woman, and a pregnant woman.

In fact, thinking about this, he really wanted to slap himself twice. The world is so big, and there are so many women, why did he do the most wrong thing?

When Liu Ruonan returned home, she began to plan things for school.

There is an art university in the provincial capital. After much thought, Liu Ruonan set her sights on this school.

In fact, whether in her past life or this life, she was particularly envious of those art students, who were not only versatile, but also very elegant.

In fact, what Liu Ruonan likes most are the art students, who look quiet and gentle and have outstanding temperament.

I remember chatting with Gao Shanshan some time ago and asking her what she wanted to do when she grew up. Gao Shanshan said she wanted to be a strong woman, like Liu Ruonan.

But Liu Ruonan didn't think she was that great. She was just lucky to have a second life. Most importantly, she understood the current situation, knew when to invest, and where to invest.

Therefore, for Liu Ruonan, this life can be considered as a fearless one.

She once talked to Gao Shanshan and wanted her to study art.

Gao Shanshan finally understood Liu Ruonan's intention, which was to let her study fine arts. However, Gao Shanshan said that art students cost too much money, and she knew her family couldn't afford it.

Back then, back home, Liu Ruonan had seen a notebook in Gao Shanshan's schoolbag. The blank pages were filled with landscapes. Although they were only pencil drawings, they were all very lifelike.

Liu Ruonan never thought that Gao Shanshan had such a talent.

Later, she saw another sketch by Gao Shanshan, which depicted some historical figures. It seemed that they were drawn based on her textbook. Although they were not as impeccable as those drawn by professionals, they were still very lifelike.
