On the way back, Leng Ruxue's furious roars could be heard from time to time in the car.
"Get out! Get out of here! Don't touch me!"
Chu Nanfeng sat down next to Leng Ruxue with a big smile on his face, opening his arms as if to hug her.
Leng Ruxue, who was beside him, kept retreating, her eyes full of anger, her back teeth clenched, and she glared at him hatefully.
"Get the hell away from me!"
"Aren't you almost gone? Aren't you practically a dead man?"
"Go lie down in the morgue, on a coffin lid, in a grave! Don't touch me!"
Chu Nanfeng, with a fawning expression, tried to reason with him:
"Honey, when did I ever say I was dying or that I couldn't make it?"
Leng Ruxue roared, "So it's my fault after all, right?"
Chu Nanfeng casually replied in a serious tone, "I was really in a bit of pain back then. I had just had surgery on my back, and the anesthesia was wearing off, so it hurt quite a bit."
Although she knew he was most likely making things up, Leng Ruxue's expression still softened somewhat.
Seeing this, Chu Nanfeng disregarded his own injuries and pulled her into his arms, saying, "Baby, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was really wrong."
"I mainly want to see the light of day; I really don't want to be a secret boyfriend anymore."
Leng Ruxue was clearly still furious, struggling as she angrily said:
"You think being my secret boyfriend is going to be so miserable?"
"Why treat me like this, making me look bad?"
At this moment, Chu Nanfeng, who was holding her, suddenly gasped, as if he had aggravated his wound.
Leng Ruxue subconsciously looked up at him and saw that his face was pale and cold sweat was streaming down his forehead. She knew that he was not faking it, so she stopped struggling.
Ye Jinyu, who was also sitting in the back seat, glanced at them expressionlessly and reminded them at the opportune moment:
"Be careful not to aggravate the wound, or you'll suffer if it gets infected."
Holding her tightly in his arms, Chu Nanfeng looked down at her, his eyes filled with tenderness, and his voice was slightly hoarse as he said:
"Ah Xue, I admit that my vanity played a part in this, and I didn't want to continue being your secret boyfriend like we were having an affair."
"But at the same time, I really don't want to see you trapped in the circle you've drawn for yourself anymore. Our relationship started too hastily, and it's normal that you can't accept it right away."
"But have you ever realized that all those worries you've been carrying are actually shackles you've put on yourself?"
He gently lifted her delicate chin with his thumb and forefinger, his rough fingers lightly caressing it. Chu Nanfeng looked directly into her eyes and spoke softly:
"Didn't you notice that after you told them about us, none of them showed any surprise?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Ruxue was stunned.
Chu Nanfeng's behavior this time was somewhat despicable. After discovering the truth, she was so angry that she was almost blinded and naturally paid no attention to other people's reactions.
Hearing Chu Nanfeng's words, she couldn't help but glance at the people sitting in the car, and indeed she didn't see the slightest bit of surprise on their faces.
Especially when her eyes met Yunmo's, she could even see a hint of a mocking smile in them.
She paused for a moment, her expression gradually blank, her gaze sweeping over the people in the car, and she couldn't help but murmur:
"You...knew all along?"
Silence speaks louder than words. Seeing the faint smiles on everyone's faces, Leng Ruxue's porcelain-white face flushed red, her eyes flashed, and she spoke again:
"Handsome younger brother, sister in green, Uncle Lu... do they all know about them too?"
Seeing Chu Nanfeng, who was holding her, nod slightly, Leng Ruxue's gaze became blank and her expression went blank. So, from beginning to end, she was just putting on a show for herself.
Then the others acted like they were fools, playing along with her?
Yunmo couldn't help but chuckle, "Sister Ruxue, you're just too close to the situation to see clearly. Brother Chu comes to the manor all the time; he's practically got his eyes on you."
"And look at Brother Chu, the way he didn't dare to look you in the eye, who couldn't see that?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Ruxue immediately buried her flushed cheeks in Chu Nanfeng's firm chest, rubbing her head against him repeatedly, her voice so embarrassed she could almost cry.
"Waaaaah, I'm such an idiot, destroy me!"
"I thought none of you knew, but it turns out you all treated me like a fool."
"You might as well just dig a hole and bury me, don't leave me so embarrassed and mortified!"
He gently stroked her head with his large hand, a hint of helpless amusement flashing in Chu Nanfeng's eyes. Once Leng Ruxue, who was snuggling against him, had calmed down a bit, he spoke again, his tone serious:
"Ah Xue, do you still remember what Xiao Wujie told you?"
"If you are trapped in an iron house built by the outside world and yourself, you are destined to never see the light. But if you go out or open the window, good things will come to you."
"You've trapped yourself in an iron house with so many things, and you haven't said a word about them. How do you know Liyue will blame you? You've never even met my parents, so how do you know they'll despise you?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Ruxue instantly sat up from Chu Nanfeng's embrace, her gaze trembling slightly as she looked at Chu Liyue in the driver's seat, and whispered:
"Boss, you really won't blame me?"
"After all, he's a handsome guy..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Liyue calmly interrupted him: "What you like, when have I ever blamed you?"
"We are not related by blood. Liking someone is liking someone, and it has nothing to do with those false identities."
A misty haze rose in her eyes. After a long while, Leng Ruxue gently bit her lower lip, her voice hoarse:
"Boss, you're so kind."
Reaching out to put his arm around her shoulder, Chu Nanfeng looked at her intently and spoke again:
"Ah Xue, to tell you the truth, not only Li Yue, but my parents also have no objection to you."
"Before I came here, I explained our situation to them, and they clearly stated that they respected my choice."
"I hope I can win you over soon and take you to my home after I return to China."
Leng Ruxue was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, panic flashed in her eyes, and she clenched her small fists and pounded on his chest, her face full of anxiety as she said:
"Why did you tell me everything so quickly?"
"I'm not prepared at all. What if my uncle and aunt don't like me?"
Seeing his face flushed and his flustered speech, Chu Nanfeng felt a slight tremor in his chest and let out a low, magnetic laugh.
He laughed and said, "It's okay, I'm here." Unable to suppress the burning desire in his heart, he pinched her chin and kissed her soft little mouth.
Leng Ruxue's body stiffened involuntarily. She tried to struggle, but he held her waist tightly and she couldn't move. A sweet moan escaped her lips, and she gave up resisting in a daze.
Seeing this, Yunmo, who was sitting in the front, couldn't help but look at Chuwan in the rearview mirror, his eyes filled with an ambiguous gaze.
If there hadn't been a gap in the middle, they probably would have hugged each other long ago.
Surrounded by couples, Ye Jinyu's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Chu Liyue, sitting in front, couldn't help but twitch her eye slightly. For the first time, she felt how hateful it was to see others being affectionate while she was single.
Xiao Wujie's face involuntarily flashed through her mind. After not seeing him for a day, her longing to see her little darling seemed to have reached its peak.
The urge to tease the little one seems to be...
