Chapter 682 Born with a Rebellious Spirit
He concealed his true emotions well, tightly wrapping them in a cloak of aloofness and coldness.
"His target is you, so how could he really take your rejection to heart?" Bo Jinyan seemed to have seen through something, and said in a calm tone, "Xiao Ruo, even if you reject me time and time again, if it weren't for me, you would have already fallen for me, wouldn't you?"
If it weren't for his presence, sandwiched between the two of them, she would have been like a moth drawn to a flame, throwing herself directly into his arms.
Imagine, how many women could resist Gong Lian's fierce offensive?
Sometimes, the more a man cannot have something, the more he desires it.
Xiao Ruo may not have realized that it was precisely because of her repeated rejections that he pursued her so relentlessly.
If she had accepted, Gong Lian might not have been as interested in her as he is now.
Upon hearing this, Sang Ruo's face turned cold, and a faint displeasure appeared between her brows and eyes: "Ayan, what do you mean by that?"
Does he still doubt her love for him?
They're already married, so why doesn't he trust her even a little bit?
This truly baffled her.
“Xiao Ruo, you don’t need to be angry. I just think that with Gong Lian’s fierce offensive, it will be difficult for you to remain unscathed.” Bo Jinyan’s tone was calm and unreadable: “I don’t blame you at all.”
He simply stated a fact that was highly likely to occur.
Previously, he had no idea how Xiao Ruo and Gong Lian got along, but today it seems that a large part of Gong Lian's interest in Xiao Ruo came about step by step from her rejection.
Sang Ruo closed her eyes briefly, her voice tinged with a hint of helplessness: "Ayan, you don't need to provoke me like this. You know, my heart has always been with you, and that has never changed."
“If we continue to get along like this, I’m really pessimistic about our future.”
No matter how deep the feelings are, they will be completely worn away by his repeated doubts.
She is very tired now.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoruo, I was just objectively analyzing the pros and cons." Bo Jinyan noticed her unusual mood and couldn't help but reassure her, "I really didn't mean to hurt you, please understand."
Sang Ruo simply tugged at her lips: "Whether you're genuinely analyzing or not, I'm really upset that you've misunderstood me like this."
Perhaps Fu Chenqing did not expect that after all the effort he had put into persuading them to reconcile, they would return to square one in less than a day.
In the days that followed, Sang Ruo did not have any major arguments with Bo Jinyan. Both of them were unusually calm, but there seemed to be a faint sense of estrangement between them, an invisible distance and indifference between them.
This made their already fragile relationship even more precarious.
When Gong Lian contacted her again, needing to pick her up, Sang Ruo's eyes were full of vigilance: "Where are you taking me?"
She's a married woman; she's not someone he can touch.
“I’ll take you there and see what your uncle has become.”
Seeing the wariness in her eyes, Gong Lian smiled bitterly, his voice laced with self-mockery: "What are you thinking? Do you really think I'm such a terrible person?"
It turns out that in her eyes, he was a despicable man who couldn't even keep the most basic promises.
It seems that she has not forgiven him for what he did to her in the past.
Sang Ruo curled her lips: "I'm afraid it's like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken, with ill intentions."
"But I still thank you for helping me so much. I can give you anything you want, but my heart is the one thing I can't give you, because I've already given it to Ayan, and there's no way I can leave any room for you."
Is it impossible to win her heart?
Gong Lian's eyes flickered, but he was born rebellious. The more unattainable something was, the more he wanted it. The more he was forbidden to touch something, the more he wanted to touch it.
"I believe that time can heal all wounds, and it can also dissolve all things." Including the feelings between you two.
However, he didn't say the last sentence.
Perhaps it was his overconfidence that made Sang Ruo feel strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
She could only suppress her discomfort and changed the subject: "Didn't you say you were going to take me to see my uncle? Where is he? Can you take me to see him?"
"Of course." Gong Lian came to Tongren Hospital to pick her up. "Shall we go?"
"Wait a minute." Sang Ruo raised her hand to stop her. "I'll go in and tell Ayan first before I leave, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
During this period, her relationship with Ayan had finally improved a little, and she didn't want these things to affect the relationship that had finally improved between them.
Fu Chenqing is right. The most important thing between husband and wife is honesty. If they keep hiding things from each other, the misunderstandings between them will only get deeper and deeper.
Then, it spiraled out of control.
Bo Jinyan's mood had improved a lot these past few days. Hearing footsteps at the door, he could tell who it was just by the sound of their footsteps and asked, "Xiao Ruo? Is something the matter?"
“Ayan, I want to discuss something with you.” Sang Ruo was still a little uneasy: “Gong Lian just asked me to go check on my uncle’s condition. Can I go?”
In the past, she wouldn't have needed to ask for his opinion so cautiously.
But the current situation is special. Although Ayan has undergone surgery, his eyes are still in the recovery process, and his mood has stabilized after the ups and downs of the past few days.
But this doesn't mean he's willing to see her go with Gong Lian.
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan noticed her cautiousness and smiled faintly: "If you really want to go, then go ahead. I won't stop you. But Xiao Ruo, you must be careful in everything you do when facing Gong Lian. Don't let him scheme against you."
It seems that his unpredictable mood swings have taken a toll on Xiao Ruo, otherwise why would she be so cautious even when visiting her uncle?
The person he truly didn't trust was Gong Lian.
However, he believed that once his eyesight was restored, Gong Lian would no longer be so blatant.
"Thank you, Ayan." Sang Ruo went to see her uncle to find out why he had hurt Ayan like that. "Then I'll go first. I'll call Fu Chenqing to come and keep you company."
This is also so that he can recover more quickly.
She noticed that every time Fu Chenqing visited, Ayan's mood would calm down considerably.
"Go quickly," Bo Jinyan urged.
Sang Ruo nodded slightly, turned around and left the ward.
