Chapter 130 The necessary steps cannot be omitted
Ruan Liuzheng took one last look at the watch on her wrist, then raised her eyes to look at her phone which still had no messages.
She closed her eyes and forced herself to suppress the emotions surging in her eyes.
In the end, she trusted people's hearts too easily, and fortunately, things had not reached the point where they could not be reversed.
Ruan Liuzheng opened her eyes, and the sadness in her cold almond-shaped eyes was gone, leaving only clarity and rationality.
She curled the corners of her lips slightly in a sarcastic tone, raised her steps, and her beautiful eyes and brows showed unusual determination.
Although there was still some time before the Civil Affairs Bureau closed, the facts were enough for her to see clearly.
Instead of waiting here like a joke, it is better to retain the last bit of dignity for yourself.
Ruan Liuzheng, who has been reborn from the ashes, can no longer make stupid mistakes for men.
However, just as she walked down the steps, a pleasant engine sound came from the asphalt road opposite the Civil Affairs Bureau.
The sound is short and rapid.
Ruan Liuzheng paused slightly, feeling that the voice entering her ears was slightly familiar.
She raised her cold almond-shaped eyes slightly, looked at the sound, and froze in place in an instant.
The depression and sadness in my heart seemed to have found an outlet in an instant, and dissipated from my heart bit by bit.
However, there was still no expression on his face.
…
Long before the car stopped, Xie Qingcen had already spotted Ruan Liuzheng, who was about to leave.
His hands on his knees suddenly tightened, he pursed his lips, and a rare look of anxiety flashed across his handsome face.
The atmosphere in the entire carriage suddenly became tense.
Even Qi Chong and the driver who were sitting in the front felt it. They both slowed down their breathing and subconsciously straightened their sitting posture.
As well-behaved as a child when the kindergarten teacher calls him/her parents.
As soon as the driver stopped the car, Xie Qingcen opened the door and walked towards Ruan Liuzheng in front with a slightly hurried movement.
His steps were steady and powerful, and his dark eyes were fixed on Ruan Liuzheng in front of him, with a deep and mysterious look in his eyes.
Even though he was feeling somewhat uneasy in his heart, his expression remained calm.
Xie Qingcen stood in front of Ruan Liuzheng. His tall and straight figure, whether intentionally or unintentionally, blocked Ruan Liuzheng's way to leave.
The strong attitude left no room for Ruan Liuzheng to regret.
His eyebrows were lowered, and Ruan Liuzheng's pure and otherworldly face was reflected in his dark eyes. Such a small reflection occupied his entire pupil, as if he could no longer let go of anyone else.
It seemed as if Ruan Liuzheng was his only one, and that was indeed the case.
Ruan Liuzheng pursed her lips imperceptibly. She resisted the urge to question and stood there quietly, waiting for Xie Qingcen's explanation.
If not, then everything that happened today was just her fault.
She frowned slightly, and her beautiful eyes seemed to reveal a little coolness under the warm sunlight.
A hint of determination flashed across his eyes.
Xie Qingcen frowned slightly. He naturally sensed Ruan Liuzheng's thoughts, and the corners of his thin lips slowly straightened.
His eyes fixed, and he reached out his hand, pinching Ruan Liuzheng's chin without allowing him to argue, forcing Ruan Liuzheng to raise his head. There was a deep look between his clear and handsome brows.
"You're making wild guesses again. Ruan Liuzheng, we're getting married soon, can you please give me a little more trust?"
Ruan Liuzheng's expression froze for a moment, and a barely perceptible white light flashed across his cold eyes.
She lowered her brows and said softly, "But since that phone call, you haven't sent me even a single message."
"Xie Qingcen, you asked me to trust you, but how can I trust you based on your behavior?"
Ruan Liuzheng's lips curled up slightly, her eyes were calm, and her tone was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
She inadvertently revealed a hint of sadness.
Xie Qingcen's breathing stagnated, and he felt that his heart was being slowly squeezed by a large hand. Although it was not fatal, it was very uncomfortable.
Ruan Liuzheng had just experienced a failed marriage, and was ignored and treated coldly by Fu Yanci for various reasons.
How could she get over her last relationship so quickly?
Even if Ruan Liuzheng didn't say it, he should have understood why he made such a stupid mistake.
What he should do most now is to explain to Ruan Liuzheng and reduce her inner anxiety; he should give Ruan Liuzheng an unlimited sense of security instead of asking for the trust that is the most difficult and precious thing for her now.
After Xie Qingcen thought it through, the corners of his eyes slightly raised, and a gleam of light appeared in the depths of his dark eyes.
He looked at Ruan Liuzheng, his brows relaxed, "It's my fault. I thought you wouldn't get to the Civil Affairs Bureau so quickly, so I went to deal with some things on the way, which delayed me."
Xie Qingcen smiled slightly, his eyes gentle, "I forgot to inform you of this, it was indeed my inconsiderateness. But we are going to get married soon, Liu Zheng, you should also try to open your heart to me, and don't doubt my sincerity to you so easily, okay?"
Ruan Liuzheng's eyes widened.
She stared at Xie Qingcen in front of her, with a compromise in her eyes that she herself was not even aware of.
At this moment, her heart was unusually calm, and all the ups and downs just now seemed to have disappeared.
The corners of her lips slowly rose, and she said, "You have already lowered your attitude so much, if I still disagree, wouldn't it be unreasonable?"
"Xie Qingcen, I can tell you solemnly that although this marriage started suddenly, I will treat it with 100% of my energy and will never let you down."
Ruan Liuzheng raised her eyes, her cold eyes full of seriousness. She assured him with a firm tone and solemn oath.
Xie Qingcen smiled faintly, he raised his hand and gently lifted the strands of hair by Ruan Liuzheng's ear, with a hint of disapproval in his clear and elegant eyes.
He spoke in a clear and gentle voice, "I solemnly accept the rest of your words. But... the beginning of our marriage was not sudden."
"Ruan Liuzheng, from the first moment I saw you, I was ready to marry you. This was not an accident, but something I had planned for a long time."
There was a gentle smile on Xie Qingcen's lips, and his eyes were serious and solemn.
Ruan Liuzheng's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a long-lost warmth arose in her heart.
She pursed her lips and said, "Okay, I get it. But the most important thing for us now is, should we get in line first?"
"Otherwise, the staff will be off work soon."
Ruan Liuzheng raised her hand and looked at the watch on her wrist, a hint of helplessness flashing across her beautiful eyes.
Xie Qingcen glanced at the sky and nodded, "Indeed, but the necessary steps cannot be omitted."
Ruan Liuzheng frowned slightly when she heard this. She looked at Xie Qingcen, and a hint of deep confusion flashed in her cold almond-shaped eyes.
Facing Ruan Liuzheng's puzzled eyes, Xie Qingcen smiled slightly, but did not explain to her immediately.
He took a step back, then took out the blue velvet box he had prepared and opened it in front of Ruan Liuzheng.
Revealing the pair of elegant and delicate diamond rings inside.
He knelt on one knee, looked up at Ruan Liuzheng, his dark eyes seemed to contain a sky full of stars.
With a hint of joy on his lips, he said, "Miss Ruan Liuzheng, will you marry me?"
…
When Ruan Liuzheng saw what was in Xie Qingcen's hand, his pupils contracted uncontrollably.
She subconsciously took two steps back, but her eyes were fixed on the box in Xie Qingcen's hand.
There were waves of throbbing in my heart.
She had never expected Xie Qingcen's behavior, nor had she thought that Xie Qingcen would prepare a diamond ring in such a short time.
Everything that happened now was completely beyond her expectations.
But it is undeniable that the moment Xie Qingcen asked the question, the voice in her heart said she was willing.
She didn't have the slightest resistance.
In that case, then...
Ruan Liuzheng took a deep breath, and stared at Xie Qingcen in front of him with his cold eyes, with a faint gleam of water in his eyes.
After a while, she raised the corners of her lips and slowly extended her hand to Xie Qingcen, "Mr. Xie, it is the luckiest thing in my life to meet you."
"So, of course I am willing."
…
On the other side, the Bai family.
After Feng Zhuyi said that, the heartache in Bai Xunan's eyes deepened unconsciously, and he even felt a little guilty.
He held Feng Zhuyi's hand tightly and whispered to her in comfort, "Zhuyi, I am a man and it is my responsibility to support my family. Besides, isn't the purpose of my earning money to ensure that you and Huanqing can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life?"
Feng Zhuyi lowered her eyes slightly, pursed her lips, and deliberately lowered her tone, making her look even more pitiful.
"But Xunan, I want to share the burden with you. Besides, I have been with Jiahe for so many years, and I have developed feelings for her. Just think of it as for me and Huanqing, don't let Ruan Liuzheng take Jiahe away, okay?"
Feng Zhuyi held Bai Xunan's palms with both hands, raised her eyebrows slightly, and her watery eyes appeared in Bai Xunan's sight.
Bai Xunan's heart softened all of a sudden.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Huanqing, who was standing next to Feng Zhuyi and had the same expression as Feng Zhuyi, and sighed helplessly.
He held Feng Zhuyi in his arms and walked to the desk, his eyes regaining their usual warmth.
"The old man's will may have been obtained by Ruan Liuzheng, so what can I do? However, the old man's will clearly stated that if Ruan Liuzheng wanted to take back Jiahe, she had to be married."
Bai Xunan chuckled twice, and a gleam of light flashed across his eyes.
"Ruan Liuzheng is now divorced from Yan Ci. With her personality, it's impossible for her to just marry someone casually."
"So, even if we can't stop her, we can delay her getting Jiahe."
