Chapter 65 You Can't Escape the Rest of Your Life
Half an hour later, Qi Chong sent the information he found to Xie Qingcen's mobile phone on time.
The file is not large, but every word tells the story of Ruan Liuzheng's past.
Xie Qingcen lowered his eyes, his dark black eyes staring quietly at the phone screen, his eyes as dark as a deep pool.
It makes it difficult to see emotions.
On the other side, Qi Chong dutifully reported the news he had just found out. He seemed to suddenly think of something, and he paused and said, "Mr. Xie, the lawyer who handled Miss Ruan's grandfather's will is now working at Junze. If you want to help Miss Ruan find out the truth, you can..."
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingcen's dark eyes moved slightly, but his delicate eyebrows and eyes were still dull.
After a long while, he opened his mouth, his tone was even and there was no ups and downs. "I understand. You've worked hard tonight. Remember to go to the Finance Department tomorrow to apply for your bonus."
Qi Chong, "Okay, Mr. Xie, you should also go to bed early."
Xie Qingcen didn't say anything. He just hung up the phone and turned to look at the woman who was sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed.
Now, all the drips have been completed, the sleeping pills in the medicine are taking effect, and she is sleeping soundly and quietly.
Looking at her beautiful eyes and eyebrows, Xie Qingcen couldn't help but recall everything in the information just now.
It turns out that despite her cool and aloof appearance, her past experiences were actually so...difficult.
Just seeing it makes me feel heartbroken.
Xie Qingcen thought that he was not a person who would be easily soft-hearted, and there were many people whose experiences were more pitiful than Ruan Liuzheng's. But after seeing Ruan Liuzheng's past tonight, he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart.
I feel bad for her, sad for her.
She had it and then lost it. She was forced to see the society's disgust at such a young age. The happiness she once thought of turned into an illusion in an instant. She was also faced with being kicked out of the home where she had lived since childhood. What was she thinking at the time?
What enabled her not to be blinded by hatred and remain so calm and composed when she grew up?
Even though he had not experienced it personally, Xie Qingcen could still sense the endurance and sadness involved.
I thought his temper was tolerant enough, but I didn't expect...
Xie Qingcen's eyes darkened, and he curled his lips in a self-deprecating manner, with a bit of complexity emerging in his heart.
He hadn't felt this way for many years.
He took a deep breath, rubbed it gently with his slender jade-like fingertips, and suddenly felt like smoking.
He is not a heavy smoker, and only when he is irritated or emotionally unstable will he be unable to resist taking out tobacco to numb himself.
But he was reluctant to leave Ruan Liuzheng. Now he just wanted to look at her quietly, even if she couldn't reply to him.
Xie Qingcen pursed his lips and once again realized that he had really fallen for her.
I accepted the result with full conviction and without any complaints.
Now even if she really asked him to treat her as the man she kept outside, I'm afraid he would not refuse. Instead, he would be happy.
Ruan Liuzheng, you really can't escape the rest of your life.
…
The next day, early morning.
When Ruan Liuzheng woke up, it was already bright outside and Xie Qingcen was no longer in the room.
She stood up on the mattress, feeling the stickiness on her body, and her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
Although she was confused due to fever last night, she could still sense what happened.
For example, Xie Qingcen saved her again, and she owed someone a favor again.
Ruan Liuzheng rubbed her temples with a slight headache. She sighed and tried hard to get rid of the chaotic thoughts in her mind.
He got up and went to the bathroom.
She really couldn't stand the sticky feeling on her body.
When Ruan Liuzheng walked out of the bathroom again, there was inexplicably an uninvited guest in the huge master bedroom.
Looking at the man sitting leisurely on the sofa at the end of the bed, Ruan Liuzheng paused while wiping her hair. She pursed her lips and walked forward as if nothing had happened. There was a hint of coldness between her eyebrows, "I owe you another favor."
"Xie Qingcen, have you figured out how you want me to pay you back?"
Xie Qingcen paused while playing with his phone, raised his dark eyes slightly, and smiled teasingly, "Will you agree to any request?"
Ruan Liuzheng's eyes widened, and a rare sense of joking arose in his heart.
The corners of her lips curled up into a faint smile, her beautiful eyebrows gradually relaxed, and her tone was a little smiling, "Except for my body."
Xie Qingcen raised his eyebrows, "You really don't give me any chance at all."
He stood up, and his tall and straight figure instantly enveloped Ruan Liuzheng's whole body, and the strong scent of agarwood came towards Ruan Liuzheng.
With a strong sense of aggression.
Ruan Liuzheng frowned, took a deep breath, and took a step back unnoticeably, trying her best to ignore the slight discomfort in her heart.
She frowned, slightly avoiding Xie Qingcen's scorching gaze, and gently pursed her light pink lips.
There was a panic in his eyes that even he himself was not aware of.
Xie Qingcen raised the corners of his lips, took a step, and slowly approached Ruan Liuzheng, but when Ruan Liuzheng looked nervous, he slowly stopped.
The two were very close to each other, but because of Xie Qingcen's bad intentions, they kept a slight distance between them.
It allows Ruan Liuzheng to feel his dominance without feeling uncomfortable.
It's just right, and hard to ignore.
Ruan Liuzheng looked at him quietly, her breathing slowing down subconsciously, and even her cold eyes were unconsciously filled with some uneasiness.
Xie Qingcen's eyebrows moved slightly, and a hint of smile appeared in his delicate eyes. He leaned over deliberately, his dark eyes containing a faint smile.
He stared at Ruan Liuzheng closely, his eyes like a whirlpool in a cold pond, as if just a glance could attract all of a person's senses.
Dangerous and fascinating.
Ruan Liuzheng swallowed unconsciously, her soft palms were slightly sweaty, and all her attention was focused on Xie Qingcen in front of her.
The two of them were so close that she could even feel the hot breath coming from his nostrils, mixed with a hint of agarwood aftertaste.
My heart trembled slightly.
However, in comparison, Xie Qingcen seemed much more unhurried.
He spoke slowly, his clear voice rising slightly with a hint of nonchalance.
"Don't be nervous, I just want to tell you that I made some porridge, and it's going to get cold if you don't go out."
Ruan Liuzheng opened her eyes wide, and her cold almond-shaped eyes stared at the playful smile on his face, and her palms clenched tightly.
She took a deep breath, "So you came here just to inform me of this?"
Xie Qingcen slowly stood up, his dark eyes looked at Ruan Liuzheng innocently, and he opened his thin lips slightly, "What else? What did you think? Did you think I wanted to kiss you?"
"Or are you expecting me to kiss you?"
Ruan Liuzheng lowered her eyes and suddenly laughed very softly.
She said, "Of course not. I have very high standards. I won't have any romantic thoughts until I really like someone."
"Let's go out. My porridge is getting cold."
Ruan Liuzheng glanced at Xie Qingcen indifferently, threw the towel in her hand casually onto the sofa, turned around and walked towards the living room.
The action was quick and decisive, clearly revealing his displeasure.
Xie Qingcen stood there, his dark eyes quietly looking at her back, his thin lips curled up in a beautiful arc.
After a while, he caught up with Ruan Liuzheng.
…
When Xie Qingcen arrived at the living room, Ruan Liuzheng had already served himself a bowl of porridge and was sitting on a high chair, drinking it slowly.
Her back was straight, and even when she lowered her head the height was just right, not making people feel that she was humble at all.
Her every move exudes the elegance of a wealthy daughter, even though she had fallen from the clouds.
But the queen is the queen and she will never bend her back because of reality.
Xie Qingcen leaned diagonally on a stick, quietly admiring Ruan Liuzheng's movements, with the corners of his thin lips slightly raised.
The kitchen in Ruan Liuzheng's house is open, with a dark gray U-shaped layout and a huge floor-to-ceiling window that covers the entire living room. When sitting at the dining table, you can almost see the exterior view of Yuncheng as soon as you look up.
It's very pleasing to the eye.
After admiring it, Xie Qingcen walked slowly to the opposite side of Ruan Liuzheng. He pulled out a chair and sat down. His dark eyes looked at Ruan Liuzheng without any concealment, and his slender fingertips tapped lightly on the surface of the dining table.
This is his habit when thinking.
He thought about what he had found out last night, and then considered how to tell Ruan Liuzheng.
If the information found out is not surprising, then Ruan Liuzheng's absent-mindedness yesterday was most likely related to her stepmother.
The only thing that could make her stepmother take action was the recent incident.
Xie Qingcen lowered his eyes slightly, and a hint of darkness flashed across his dark eyes.
After much consideration, he decided to help Ruan Liuzheng.
Although I know that with her personality, she will definitely not accept it easily, but...
He just couldn't bear to watch her being threatened. He believed that women were born to stand on a high platform and look down on everyone, and should not be coerced by some villains.
Xie Qingcen gently raised his eyelids, and a sharp look flashed across his eyes.
But before he could open his mouth, Ruan Liuzheng spoke first.
I saw——
She drank the last mouthful of porridge slowly, picked up the tissue beside her and wiped the corners of her lips elegantly, raised her cold eyes slightly, and looked at Xie Qingcen, "What are you hesitating about? Just say it if you have anything to say."
From the moment Xie Qingcen sat down, Ruan Liuzheng sensed his conflicted look, but she endured it and didn't point it out, just because she wanted to see what the priorities were.
But after waiting for a long time, she still didn't get anything, which means that the matter is very serious.
Otherwise, with Xie Qingcen's personality, it would be impossible for him to think for so long.
It would be better to let her ask directly so that he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
Xie Qingcen's eyes paused, and he inexplicably felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.
He chuckled twice, not intending to hide it anymore, and said directly, "The reason why you got caught in the rain yesterday was because of your stepmother?"
"She's the one that distracted you, isn't she?"
Ruan Liuzheng was slightly startled. She raised her eyes and looked at Xie Qingcen. Her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly and a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes.
"You investigated me?"
