Chapter 62 Chapter 62 2
"Knock, knock, knock..." There was a sudden, gentle knock on the door, followed by a clear, though somewhat clumsy, male voice in Chinese. "Ruoruo, when I came up, I saw the light in your bedroom was on. Did something happen?"
The knock on the door was not loud, and the man's voice was not loud either. Probably if Ruoru was already asleep, she wouldn't be disturbed.
It was Engel, Ruo Ruo knew. She didn't feel intimidated or presumptuous, because she'd been able to survive these past few years in this foreign country thanks to him. He'd certainly helped her a lot, and their relationship was more than just friends. It was only Ruo Ruo's own concerns and concerns that kept it from becoming a romantic relationship.
Ruo Ruo got up, turned on the light, and opened the door. The moment she turned on the light, it was even a little blinding.
Engel himself didn't expect the door to be opened so quickly. A hint of joy appeared on his handsome face, but it was soon replaced by worry. He didn't know why Ruoruo hadn't rested yet so late.
Then, his eyes were attracted by Ruoruo's naked and delicate feet, and his light blue eyes reflected a little disapproval.
"You have to wear shoes at home! If you don't want to wear shoes, Ruo Ruo should lay the carpet!"
As he spoke, he began to walk in familiarly, then found his shoes and squatted down.
"Come, hold me up and lift my feet."
Engel Howard was very tall, and he was intentionally standing straight, so he was at the perfect height for Ruo Ruo to hold on to.
Ruoruo followed his movements and put on her slippers.
The shoes were clearly placed on the ground for Ruoruo to put on, but Enge did this instead. He couldn't hide the smile on his face. After all, Ruoruo's hand touched him! And he also took the opportunity to touch Ruoruo's jade-like feet.
When he lowered his head, there was a strong obsession in his eyes, but it disappeared completely when he raised his head, like an elegant and polite gentleman.
He met Ruoruo by chance when she first arrived here five years ago. When he learned that she was alone in a foreign country, he kindly extended his helping hand for the first time, helping Ruoruo find a house, enroll in school, and even helping with some trivial matters when Ruoruo applied for a master's degree.
After all, Ruoruo was not very familiar with this country. Although she had been here for a long time, she still seemed out of tune with it. Apart from professional knowledge, she seemed to have not taken this country seriously at all, like a traveler who was about to leave.
Therefore, Engel took the initiative to help with many things. This help was easy for the heir of the Howard family, but he was not willing to help everyone. After all, he was not a good person. The reason he helped Ruo Ruo was simply because he fell in love with her from the first time he saw her.
It was only for her that he gave up his big manor and lived with Ruoru in the place closest to her, even though this place was neither convenient nor comfortable for him.
But who made him like Ruo Ruo? And it was a one-sided love.
If it weren't for so many things and troubles that needed to be dealt with in the family, he might have wanted to apply to the same school as Ruoruo.
But it's fine like this now. He learned Chinese for Ruoruo. Although Chinese is indeed a bit difficult to learn, he can now communicate with Ruoruo in Chinese.
He also learned Chinese cuisine for Ruoruo. As the Chinese saying goes, if you want to capture a person's heart, you must first capture his stomach. Eng felt that learning Chinese cuisine would be more important than learning Chinese.
This was indeed the case. With his Chinese cooking skills comparable to those of a chef, he had long known Ruoruo's home like the back of his hand.
After all, it was because Ruoruo didn't like the food here, and he specially asked someone to go to China to invite a chef to teach him his cooking skills, which were better than those of the chefs in the Chinese restaurants here.
He might not be able to speak Chinese well, so Ruoru can occasionally teach him. But he absolutely must master Chinese cooking. Otherwise, how can he attract Ruoru? As for Chinese food, cooking isn't for Ruoru. What if he accidentally cuts or burns his hand? Angels should focus on what they enjoy, not on things they don't enjoy.
Engel was also extremely relieved that Ruoruo's cooking was not very good. After all, if Ruoruo could cook everything, then what use would he be? How could he get close to Ruoruo and become her friend?
"Thank you. Why did Enge come back only now?" Ruo Ruo was a little curious. After all, he came to her place to help cook in the afternoon.
They lived very close to each other, and she thought he had eaten at her place and then went home.
"My friend had some issues, so I went over to help." He had always been a warm and kind person in front of Ruoruo. He couldn't possibly tell Ruoruo that there were two disobedient people in their family who investigated her without authorization, so he went over to deal with them.
At that time, in order to get close to Ruoruo and let Ruoruo accept him and treat him as a friend, he lied that he was an orphan, and all the houses he found were rented, and the rent was very cheap. But now, as he gets closer and closer to Ruoruo, he regrets it a little.
This lie will only get bigger and bigger once it starts.
He wanted to confess to Ruoruo but didn't know where to start.
"Well, Enge is indeed a kind person!" Ruo Ruo sighed casually.
Ruthless and ruthless, Engel Howard, feared by his family members and heirs of other families: ...
Well, yes, he really wants to be such a person. Although he needs to overcome difficulties and deal with some disobedient things on the road to becoming such a kind person, as long as the result is right in the eyes of the right people, it is enough.
Sometimes, if you tell a lie and don't know how to confess it, then just make it the truth. To this end, Enger worked hard. If that old man hadn't been so hard to kill, he wouldn't have to worry about whether to confess to Ruo Ruo.
That old man didn't care about his children's lives, but he valued his own life. But when Engel Howard managed to come out of that cruel training ground alive, it was destined that the Howard family would be his to control.
Even though the old man later had another precious son, he doted on this little son very much. Not to mention the training ground, he was reluctant to let him suffer even a little bit of hardship. But because of this, no one in the family was destined to be able to defeat him.
He could never reconcile with his father. After all, many of his brothers and sisters had died in the training grounds. At the same age, he had already narrowly escaped death, while his useless brother was still nursing.
Even with such a loser, the old man wanted to bypass him and hand over everything in Howard to his youngest son? He and those who had already joined him agreed. Even if he destroyed the family, he couldn't let the old man have his way. Not to mention, who would want to live a good life without money and power?
"Ruoruo, why haven't you rested yet so late?" Enger asked after he came to his senses.
"It's okay, I just had a nightmare and I feel a little confused." Ruoruo forced a smile.
"Is it because of what happened today?"
Enge looked at the scene with a broken heart, wondering if the man who robbed the convenience store today had frightened Ruoruo. Although Ruoruo was not in the convenience store at the time, but in a supermarket not far away, it was inevitable that the incident would leave a shadow on Ruoruo.
He also has problems. He should have paid more attention to Ruoruo's psychology today instead of believing Ruoruo just because she said everything was fine.
That damn robber, even death can’t atone for his sins! Enger’s eyes flashed with a murderous light.
"No, I just had a nightmare. I don't remember what it was exactly, but it was vaguely related to the young lady."
"Miss?" Enger frowned subconsciously, then relaxed.
He knew that in Ruo Ruo's heart, this person called 'Miss' was extremely important.
In the beginning, he actually often had hostility towards the person that Ruoruo often mentioned, but after learning about Ruoruo's experience, even if he still had some hostility, he forced it to be suppressed.
After all, without that person, Ruoruo wouldn't be able to go abroad now. It can even be said that without her, Ruoruo wouldn't be alive or dead today. Ruoruo had told him this herself, and he agreed with her.
After all, wasn't he the same? If he hadn't met his angel, he might still be figuring out how to exterminate humanity. But there were still such wonderful people in the world. Rather than letting everyone live in purgatory, he now hoped to live a good life with Ruo Ruo.
The "beautiful" here does not refer to how true, kind and beautiful Ruoruo's character is, but in his eyes, everything about Ruoruo is beautiful, even though Ruoruo has her own dark side, which can be reflected in her paintings.
Only when Ruoruo painted that woman did her painting style become bright, passionate, and without a trace of gloom. Enger liked Ruoruo and naturally had viewed her paintings countless times. He knew that Ruoruo was not as harmless and indifferent as she appeared on the surface.
But none of this mattered, including the darkness in Ruo Ruo's heart, which he considered a perfect advantage. In a way, weren't they more compatible like this?
If Ruoruo is his light and his salvation, then Engel knows that the woman in Ruoruo's heart is his salvation.
It's not that he isn't jealous, but he doesn't even have the qualifications to be jealous right now. Of course, he is also very grateful to Ruo Ruo for her, and is very glad that she is a woman.
Engel had specially learned about the civilization and customs of the ancient Eastern country and knew that homosexuality was not that common in that distant and mysterious country.
And from Ruo Ruo he learned that the young lady had a man she liked, and that man was her fiancé.
It's just that the man doesn't seem to be very obedient. Enge said that if Ruo Ruo's benefactor could bring the man here, he has a hundred ways to make the man obedient, or even make him fall in love with the person he should love like a dog loves its owner.
It was only out of selfishness that Enge didn't mention this suggestion. After all, if that woman came, he couldn't be sure whether he could still stay with Ruoruo. He knew that up to now, he was probably still not as important as that woman in Ruoruo's heart.
But he didn't expect Ruoruo to be so worried about that woman that she even had a nightmare because of her.
"Didn't you say her family is considered quite well-off in China? Her family probably wouldn't allow anything to happen to her. If you're worried, I'll ask... I'll ask my friend to investigate. I have a friend who specializes in this."
"Ah? Has your friend's business involved our country?" Ruo Ruo was a little confused.
"My friend works in this field, so he naturally knows people who do this in China. I also recently met a Chinese friend who runs a security company. You know, I really like making friends, and after I learned Chinese, it was easy for me to make Chinese friends."
"Thank you, Eng, but no need. This may just be a nightmare of mine, or maybe I miss the eldest lady too much." Ruo Ruo refused him, at least she didn't want him to investigate now.
"Okay, if you need anything, be sure to tell me. My friend's business and the friend's friend's business are both struggling, and I want to help them, too."
…Ruo Ruo doesn't believe this guy's nonsense. He can always talk nonsense in a serious manner, which is also a kind of skill of his…
But she didn't want to leave the matters concerning the eldest lady to others. She wanted to go home and stay with the eldest lady.
Although she is about to graduate this year and the time is very close, she has a premonition that if she waits until she graduates honestly and then returns to China, something will most likely happen that she will regret.
"Okay, I'm fine. Eng, it's time for you to go back and rest." Ruo Ruo had already made up her mind and was ready to apply for early graduation, but she didn't know whether she would be approved. Fortunately, she loved painting very much, and the graduation project should not be too difficult for her. If she was lucky and the subject matter was suitable, she might not even need to repaint it. It was not impossible to choose directly from her old works.
But before Engel Howard left, Ruo Ruo still reminded him worriedly, "Engel, I don't like others secretly investigating me and my friends."
Enger nodded helplessly. Although he was curious about everything about Ruo Ruo, he would respect all her decisions.
Besides, he has been very busy recently, and some people in the family have become more and more disobedient.
