Chapter 1491 is a bit long, so I won’t divide it into chapters.
Zhou Ruiqi had met Lan Yuan's father.
Not very smart, but gives people a sense of security.
The country was in turmoil, so he thought there wouldn't be much wealth left.
But when he accidentally opened the door of the inner treasury, he was completely stunned.
He and his subordinates were also stunned.
"Oh my god!" One of the subordinates was almost dazzled by the money. "The Lan family is so rich! I thought, based on these people's thinking, that the inner treasury would only have a few pieces of rags."
"Who says it's not true? Those people outside are too lazy to think and act like they don't care about worldly matters. I thought their inner treasury was just a decoration."
One of the subordinates was attracted by something with two eyes. He pointed and asked Zhou Ruiqi, "Boss, did you see that?"
Zhou Ruiqi looked over.
There is a crown on the antique cabinet. It is an old item from the last century. It was made when Queen Victoria was crowned. The crown is inlaid with 8 rubies, 16 sapphires, 32 emeralds, and there are 1,100 pearls surrounding it. There are more than 3,300 diamonds, and a peerless red-pointed diamond in the center.
This crown disappeared after the World War. I heard that it was collected by a wealthy man. It turns out that this wealthy man is Lan Yuan’s father!
But this crown is just the tip of the iceberg of the wealth in the inner treasury. There are countless treasures and antiques inside, and the precious ancient paintings are piled up like a mountain.
"Oh my God, I finally understand why Yu Hao is fighting so hard against us. This is Lan Yuan's father, this invisible tycoon."
"Do you see that painting in the corner? It's an original! Oh my god!"
"Boss, I thought you married a poor little wife before, but now it seems that she is a real white, rich and beautiful woman! I just gave you the key to the inner treasury directly, so I can rest assured."
"That's true. If it were me, I would definitely not be willing to part with it. How much does it cost?"
“…”
People are so dazzled by the flowers that they are almost blinded. On this day, Zhou Ruiqi's men were really enlightened, and they felt overwhelmed by the money.
"I feel..." the subordinate said blankly, "We don't need to develop mineral resources outside. Just stay here. The real gold mine in the world is right in front of us!"
Zhou Ruiqi pulled everyone out of the inner storehouse and locked the door. After locking it, he turned to the people standing outside and said, "No one is allowed to have any thoughts about these things. In addition, they are not allowed to be spread outside. To the outside—"
Zhou Ruiqi paused for a few seconds and said, "Play the victim. Just say the inner treasury is empty and there are only a few rags left."
Those who followed Zhou Ruiqi were all his confidants, and they immediately understood what Zhou Ruiqi meant.
"Why, Boss, are you afraid that people will know that your sister-in-law's dowry is so huge, and then they will try to snatch her away from you?"
Another younger brother smiled and said, "Are you afraid that others will know that your sister-in-law is rich and have bad intentions?"
"Boss, you're worried about your sister-in-law~"
Several people laughed and walked out together, and Zhou Ruiqi called out, "Where are you going?"
Those people laughed and responded loudly, "Buy a house and settle down!"
They understand Zhou Ruiqi. If Lanyuan had nothing and everything was in ruins, Zhou Ruiqi would stay because he was needed here.
Now that the national treasury is full, he will stay and say he is poor to the outside world, but he will not touch the things in Lanyuan. He will guard them for her anyway.
After all, I still feel uneasy.
Otherwise, considering Zhou Ruiqi's wealth, he would not bother to visit the inner treasury. To put it bluntly, he was still trying to find out the details for Lan Yuan.
Zhou Ruiqi said that he would not make the inner treasury public, and he really did not make it public. He was tight-fisted all day long, like a miser, and used the few that were on the surface. When he had no other choice, he had to subsidize a lot in private.
The people below couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw Zhou Ruiqi taking out his family fortune.
Zhou Ruiqi comes from a wealthy family and is good at saving money. Once he has money in his hands, there is no reason for him to spend it again.
Lately, I've been using it a bit too harshly.
Zhou Enyou even called to ask, "Zhou Ruiqi, was your bank card stolen? Why are you spending so much lately?"
Zhou Ruiqi's money was all kept in his own international bank, so Zhou Enyou naturally knew his recent spending situation very well.
"Is there?" Zhou Ruiqi didn't want to say it yet: "I need money for something I need recently."
"Spend sparingly. You're spending tens of millions this time. What for? Are you going to empty my international bank?" Zhou Enyou joked.
Lan Yuan sat on the side and listened to the conversation between the two siblings, blinking his eyes.
After Zhou Ruiqi hung up the phone, she hooked her arm around Zhou Ruiqi's neck and asked, "Have you been using your own money to support me recently?"
Zhou Ruiqi lowered his eyes to look at the porcelain-white girl in front of him. She was so beautiful that he had never seen such a white girl. Her face was so tender that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.
There were calluses on his hands, and often when he touched her delicate skin, he was afraid of hurting her.
In fact, it was true. Every time he touched her, her whole body trembled.
He liked this reaction though.
Zhou Ruiqi curled his lips, indulging his desire, pinching Lan Yuan's chin and kissing him.
Zhou Ruiqi didn't let go until he kissed her breathlessly. Lan Yuan leaned against him and panted softly. When she calmed down, she raised her head and looked at Zhou Ruiqi with watery eyes, saying softly, "Did you go to the inner treasury?"
Zhou Ruiqi hugged Lan Yuan and said lazily, "Yeah."
Lan Yuan likes Zhou Ruiqi like this the most. Unlike his usual fierce self, he is a little nonchalant, and when he lowers his eyes, he seems to have a bit of alluring desire.
Zhou Ruiqi's voice is very nice. When it is low, it sounds like the kind of host who coaxes people to sleep late at night.
Lan Yuan stared blankly for a while, then slowly came back to her senses. She was always the most relaxed in front of Zhou Ruiqi.
"Did you see what's inside?"
Zhou Ruiqi: "Yeah."
"I give you the key, which means I entrust everything inside to you. You can use it however you want."
Zhou Ruiqi carried Lan Yuan upstairs and said lightly, "Hmm."
"I have no objection to how you use it. In my hands, I'll squander it all eventually."
Zhou Ruiqi put the person on the bed and began to take off his clothes.
"You don't have to use your own money to subsidize me. The money in it was originally meant to be spent."
Zhou Ruiqi unbuckled his belt and continued in a monosyllable: "Hmm."
"How much did you spend before, and you deduct it from the money? It doesn't make sense - um -" Lan Yuan's mouth was blocked, and she fluttered twice, "Zhou, Zhou Ruiqi..."
Zhou Ruiqi raised his hand, took off her shirt, and reached behind her skillfully, "How do I untie this thing?"
"I, I can do it myself."
"But, the premise is... Zhou, Ruiqi... you have to listen to me first."
Zhou Ruiqi's lips moved downwards, pushing the person onto the bed, and kissing her fiercely and heavily, with a certain punitive cruelty.
Lan Yuan was almost out of breath, and then he realized that someone was angry.
When Lan Yuan's eyes were blurred with tears, the person on her raised his head and bit her earlobe. "If you ever settle accounts with me again, I will punish you like this!"
Lan Yuan burst into tears in the midst of the overwhelming atmosphere, and then she heard Zhou Ruiqi's voice falling softly, "You are my woman, why should you worry about money? I am happy to spend my money on you."
Before Lan Yuan could come to his senses after hearing these words, he was already swept away by the waves of violent impact.
The night is dark.
When everything was quiet, the person on the bed had fallen asleep from exhaustion.
Zhou Ruiqi was smoking on the balcony in shorts.
Suddenly, Lan Yuan's cell phone vibrated. Zhou Ruiqi didn't go over, but just leaned against the balcony, smoking a cigarette, looking lazy.
He was about to look up when the phone on the bedside table vibrated again, and then again, and then several times in a row.
Zhou Ruiqi was a little annoyed. He walked over and was about to turn off his phone when a message popped up on WeChat on the page.
The other party sent a lot of messages.
But this message was just sent and is displayed on the phone screen.
[Girl, how are you taking the medicine I gave you last time? You need to work harder. I think Zhou Ruiqi is not a man of long temper. Otherwise, if he leaves, you will have to find another man. Admittedly, Zhou Ruiqi's conditions are quite good.]
Zhou Ruiqi had just finished reading this message when another one came in.
[However, you should also be prepared for the worst. Last time I sent you a photo of my friend's nephew, did you see it? So, not bad, isn't he? He seems quite interested in you. If you like what you saw, please leave me a message.]
The person opposite is a chatterbox.
Messages kept coming in, and Zhou Ruiqi stood at the head of the bed and read them all one by one.
The next day.
When Lan Yuan turned around and hugged the person, the bed next to him had been cold for a long time.
Lan Yuan didn't care. He got up and went to the bathroom to wash up, thinking that he had to take out some things from the inner storehouse. It would not be good to sell anything. He couldn't let Zhou Ruiqi keep subsidizing him.
At the same time, I was thinking that I should buy a few shirts for Zhou Ruiqi. He always wears the same ones, so I need to dress him up.
After washing her face, Lan Yuan went downstairs and went to the kitchen first. She took out a bag of Chinese medicine from the refrigerator and put it in water to heat it up.
After it was heated up and poured into the bowl, she turned around and saw someone. She was startled and almost dropped the bowl.
"Zhou...why are you at home?"
Zhou Ruiqi stood in the living room, his eyes falling on Lan Yuan's face. Lan Yuan felt that he was in a somewhat gloomy mood.
Lan Yuan: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Ruiqi didn't speak for a long time, just looking at her straight.
Lan Yuan was frightened by his gaze and blinked, "What are you doing? Talk to me, I'm scared of you."
Zhou Ruiqi sneered, "Are you afraid?"
Lan Yuan felt baffled. Zhou Ruiqi's unfamiliar expression frightened her. She blinked, "What... do you mean?"
Zhou Ruiqi's gaze fell from Lan Yuan's face to the Chinese medicine in her hand. "What's that in your hand?"
In fact, Zhou Ruiqi discovered that she was drinking Chinese medicine a few days ago, but he didn't say it. Lan Yuan was in poor health and had been recuperating, so he thought she was recuperating.
I even checked the expiration date of the Chinese medicine, hoping that this confused kid wouldn't take any bad medicine. What was the result?
That’s great.
She was planning to get pregnant and really wanted to kill the father and keep the son.
Since she didn't get pregnant, she had already thought of a way out. He was furious when he saw the photo of that pretty boy.
Lan Yuan didn't expect Zhou Ruiqi to ask this question so suddenly. She raised the medicine in her hand and said, "It's for conditioning the body."
Zhou Ruiqi sneered, "And then?"
Lan Yuan: "I'm pregnant."
Zhou Ruiqi: "And then!"
Lan Yuan blinked and felt that Zhou Ruiqi's mood was becoming increasingly abnormal. She put down the bowl in her hand, walked in front of Zhou Ruiqi, and raised her hand to touch his forehead.
Someone grabbed my wrist.
Lan Yuan looked at him.
Zhou Ruiqi, "Let me ask you, what then? If you can't get pregnant, then what?"
Lan Yuan took it for granted, "How could that be? We have worked so hard."
Zhou Ruiqi had the feeling of hitting a sandbag with his hard fist. He was so angry that he was about to explode!
"What I'm asking is!" Zhou Ruiqi stared at Lan Yuan fiercely. At this moment, he really wanted to tear her apart! The text messages on the phone flashed before his eyes.
One of them said: [Last time I said, if Zhou Ruiqi can't do it, you can do it at the same time. This child is obedient and won't make a fuss.]
"Haha!" Zhou Ruiqi felt like all his sincerity had gone to waste. "Giocop, huh? Ah, the child is obedient?! Not going to make a fuss?! I'm not dead yet! And you're already ready to cuckold me!"
Only then did Lan Yuan understand Zhou Ruiqi's abnormality.
She quickly took Zhou Ruiqi's hand and said, "It's not what you think."
Zhou Ruiqi was not in a good mood and shook off Lan Yuan's hand. "No, what? Someone sent me a photo. What did you say? You said, you look good?"
Zhou Ruiqi stared down at her, his face gloomy and his heart broken. "Lan Yuan! You have no heart!"
Lan Yuan was panicked. "No, I was just talking nonsense. It was just a joke."
"Are you kidding?" Zhou Ruiqi's eyes flashed coldly. "I don't think this is funny! What? Do you think it's funny to see me cuckolded?"
"No, no," Lan Yuan explained immediately, "That's my aunt. She's the only relative I have. She's married and has nothing to do all day, so she chats with me. I occasionally respond, and then..." Lan Yuan's tears fell. "The elders were gossiping, and I just said something. I didn't even look at the photo, really."
"Didn't you see? Didn't you see that you were pretty?" Zhou Ruiqi was getting angry, which was actually quite scary, giving people a feeling of a dark cloud looming over them. "You're kidding!"
"Lan Yuan, you can do it," Zhou Ruiqi was really furious. He was not a good-tempered person. He had always been a profit-oriented person. He was so open-hearted, but the other party was like this? He felt like a joke! "You lied to me? No one has dared to lie to me since I was a child!"
"What a good trick!"
Lan Yuan shook her head and wanted to go over and grab his hand, but Zhou Ruiqi pushed her away. Lan Yuan almost fell down, and Zhou Ruiqi looked at her coldly.
Lan Yuan also felt wronged and didn't dare to go up. She just stood there and cried.
"I'm telling you, I love you, so crying is the only way. If I don't want you anymore, you'll cry until you die!"
Lan Yuan had never thought Zhou Ruiqi would say such serious words. She blinked and looked straight at Zhou Ruiqi, "You..." She bit her teeth, her heart aching so much that she couldn't breathe. In fact, she was very sad, very sad, but she still suppressed her anger and said in a concession: "Don't... say angry words."
"Angry words?!" Zhou Ruiqi's eyes turned red with anger. "Do you think I have to have you?! You think you have me in your hands, right? There are so many people who want to be with me! You're just a gigolo, right? You planned it all along, right? Fine, do whatever you want! I'm not going to accompany you anymore!"
Zhou Ruiqi left after he finished speaking. Lan Yuan did not stop him. She stood there, clenched her fists, and tears fell silently.
The door was shut loudly, and then there was a "bang!" sound, as if something was hitting the door.
It fell to the ground with a crash, and Lan Yuan recognized it as the key to the inner treasury.
Lan Yuan stood there, stunned for a long time.
Then he slowly squatted on the ground and hugged himself.
That day, Zhou Ruiqi never came back.
The whole palace was deserted and even the air was cold.
Lan Yuan sat on the sofa with her knees hugged, reading text messages one by one.
She hardly read the message sent by her aunt. She was not the type to refuse easily. She just said a few words to her elders without any other meaning. She had no relatives around her except her aunt. She just wanted everyone to be happy, that's all.
But she still hurt Zhou Ruiqi's heart.
Lan Yuan looked at the key to the inner treasury on the table and wondered if Zhou Ruiqi would really never come back.
He has always been the kind of person who keeps his word.
Lan Yuan's tears fell, but she didn't dare to say anything. The person who coaxed her left.
A message came via WeChat on her mobile phone, and Lan Yuan answered it.
Aunt: 'Baby, what's wrong with you? Are you crying?'
Lan Yuan burst into tears.
Aunt: "Baby, what's wrong with you? Did Zhou Ruiqi bully you?"
Aunt: 'You should speak.'
Lan Yuan wiped away tears sadly, curling up into a ball, feeling a dull pain somewhere on her body. Zhou Ruiqi used to apply medicine to her, but today he is gone.
Lan Yuan felt aggrieved and whispered to the people in the film, "Aunt, he's gone."
Aunt: 'Who?'
My aunt frowned, "Zhou Ruiqi?!"
Lan Yuan: "She saw the message you sent me and she got angry."
"What? You showed him that nonsense you talked about in a chat. Why did you show him that? Didn't you insist on having children with him and keeping him?"
Lan Yuan sniffed, tears falling on the screen. "I messed it up. I don't know why. He saw my phone and accused me of having a gigolo."
My aunt was also furious and slammed the table. "What?! Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey? He takes jokes between women seriously! This is too much!"
At this moment, my aunt turned into a best friend who angrily scolded the scumbag and cursed Zhou Ruiqi from head to toe.
Lan Yuan was very good-tempered. She sobbed and whispered in defense, "Don't scold him like that."
"Why, you still can't bear to leave?"
"Let me tell you, a man like Zhou Ruiqi, if he really wants to leave, he'll leave."
Lan Yuan tugged at the hem of her skirt and whispered, "I know."
She knew it, and she also knew that she couldn't stop it.
He even returned the key to the inner treasury to her. He must really not want her anymore.
Lan Yuan lay on the sofa sadly, crying silently.
My aunt was very distressed on the other end of the phone, "Okay, okay, baby, it's okay, the old doesn't go away, the new doesn't come."
Lan Yuan didn't want to talk anymore. He didn't want anyone else, he only wanted Zhou Ruiqi.
After that day, Zhou Ruiqi never appeared again.
The area around Lanyuan suddenly became lively, and many people came to ask her how to deal with this matter or how to do that matter.
She was at a loss.
Her father had only trained her older brothers and never taught her how to take charge of the overall situation. She watched in a daze as she messed up one thing after another.
I also heard the brothers who were left here by Zhou Ruiqi calling Zhou Ruiqi and asking him if he would come back and whether they wanted to leave too.
Lan Yuan didn't know how Zhou Ruiqi answered, he only knew that his brothers were decreasing one by one, and finally, there was not one left.
The entire palace fell into endless silence and coldness again.
It's really cold.
Lan Yuan drank the medicine mechanically, with a hint of anger in her voice. In fact, this medicine was only taken during the wedding consummation. It would be useless to drink it now.
But she still cooks every day.
Cook every day.
She didn't know what she was being stubborn about.
It may be similar to the kind of thing a child says: You have wronged me, I have to wait for you to come back and see, I gave this medicine just for the two of us, not for anyone else.
Zhou Ruiqi never came back.
Later, someone said that Zhou Ruiqi's brothers did not leave, but retreated to the door. Lan Yuan nodded like an empty shell, sat on the door railing and looked up at the moon.
When she was trapped before, someone would jump off the roof, walk up to her, and ask her, "Why are you crying?"
She continued to wait for him to come back.
result--
"Hey, have you heard?"
"What?"
"My king, I heard that someone saw him go to a neighboring country and have dinner with the queen of that country."
"More than that, I heard that the king shared the bed with that man at night."
"Well, what about our princess?"
"I don't know, but the Queen of the neighboring country is capable. Zhou Ruiqi was ready when he went there. Here, he has to make drastic changes for a long time, and there are many things to do. I guess he is tired, so it is understandable that he left. A man like Zhou Ruiqi should not be trapped by anyone."
"That's right. Our princess is so delicate and can't do anything except cry. If she cries too often, men will get annoyed. Unlike the queen of the neighboring country, she and Zhou Ruiqi are a strong alliance. Anyone would know which one to choose."
"If it were me, I would also choose the queen of the neighboring country."
“…”
Lan Yuan stood in the pavilion, listening to the two maids opposite whispering. She blinked her eyes, and this time, she didn't even dare to cry.
The next day.
Lan Yuan gradually began to deal with things. She worked very slowly, but she was handling them bit by bit.
There were also times when she didn't handle things well, and everyone thought she would cry, but she would often just have red eyes, and then purse her lips, trying to hold back the tears sadly.
After taking over, I realized that there were really a lot of things to do.
Many times, she could feel that sense of powerlessness. Everything she did was wrong. No one taught her, so she had to figure things out on her own, making mistakes that even she couldn't stand, and then falling into powerlessness again.
She is very tired.
But I can't fall asleep.
With eyes open, I sit on the door railing all night and watch the moon all night.
Then when it’s dawn, I take a short nap, wash up, and go to work.
After half a month of chaos, Lan Yuan finally broke down. She wrapped herself in a soft blanket, locked herself in the closet, and cried silently.
For a coward, even crying is a sin.
the next day.
The maid whispered outside, "Have you heard? Zhou Ruiqi went on a diplomatic mission to Country C with the Queen next door. Isn't that too high-profile?"
"Isn't this just telling the outside world that they are together?"
"Oh my god, is Zhou Ruiqi really not coming back?"
"Do you really not want our princess anymore?"
"Oh, how pitiful."
“…”
That day in Lanyuan, she sat in the palace for a long time. From that night on, she never went to the yard to watch the moon again.
In the following days, she became increasingly silent.
Then late one night, she was writing something, walking in front and the truck following behind.
She opened the city gate, and Zhou Ruiqi's brothers outside were stunned when they saw Lan Yuan coming out.
Lan Yuan handed over an envelope. "Please give him this. It's the stuff I left behind. I haven't had time to convert it into cash yet. I estimated it's probably enough to cover the time he's been supporting me with and the money he's given to help me defeat Yu Hao."
After Lan Yuan finished speaking, the driver got out and Lan Yuan said to them, "I'll give you the car. You don't have to guard the door. It's actually not a big deal. The surrounding countries all know that there's nothing to gain from us here, so you can go. If Zhou Ruiqi asks, just say it was me who said it. Thank you again."
Lan Yuan bowed slightly to them, then turned around and left with his back straight.
Zhou Ruiqi's brothers unfolded the paper in the envelope, which contained a divorce agreement that Lan Yuan had already signed.
"Oh my god!" The brothers immediately flew to the neighboring country.
"Boss, that's enough, let's go back." The men were speechless. "If you keep making trouble, people will really not want you."
As soon as I finished speaking, the divorce agreement was delivered.
"She even had the nerve to ask for a divorce! Is she really that bold? She even asked for a divorce! She's someone who did something wrong, and yet she dared to ask for a divorce!"
"Boss, do you want to go back or not? I think my sister-in-law really wants to settle accounts with you. She sent a truckload of treasures to say thank you."
Zhou Ruiqi was very upset and hadn't been back home for a few days because he wanted to give her the cold shoulder and calm himself down.
As a result, he got angry again when he didn't see her come out to look at the moon for many days.
"Boss, you really can't blame your sister-in-law for this. They were just joking around on WeChat, and you just moved in here. Is that reasonable?"
"What?" Zhou Ruiqi said coldly, "I can't even live in my own home?!"
"Then I don't know. How would I know? Oh, you gave up your good position as king and entrusted it to a woman. Rumors are flying around that you want to marry into the family here."
Zhou Ruiqi frowned.
The subordinate sighed, "Boss, seriously, if you don't go back and become independent, I really won't need you anymore. I've noticed that my sister-in-law has lost weight recently. Her subordinates say that she drinks dark Chinese medicine every day. I don't know what it's for. Could she be sick?"
Zhou Ruiqi knew what Lan Yuan drank, and he also knew that she was just being stubborn with him.
He was also angry and refused to go back.
"Boss," that night, his men looked at Zhou Ruiqi, mask on, and preparing to climb over the wall to leave. They were speechless, "Can't we just go back home peacefully? Aren't you tired of doing this every night?"
Zhou Ruiqi flipped out without even looking back, "You know shit!"
Lan Yuan handed over the divorce agreement during the day, holding on for dear life. Will Zhou Ruiqi be happy when he sees the divorce agreement?
Will he sign?
Once they sign, they really have nothing to do with each other anymore.
For the first time, Lan Yuan felt that the relationship between one person and another could be severed so easily.
What she originally held fast to, was firm, and relied on, can also be left at any time.
So resolute, without even turning back.
Never came back once.
Zhou Ruiqi is the kind of person who will never look back once he leaves and will keep his word.
He must be disgusted with himself. It seemed like she could do nothing but mess everything up.
Lan Yuan wiped her tears. The cool breeze blew in from outside and she felt a little hot.
Zhou Ruiqi stood on the roof and saw someone lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.
He didn't even cover himself with a quilt, his limbs were exposed, and when the cool breeze passed, he curled up like a kitten.
Zhou Ruiqi frowned, jumped off the roof and walked to the sofa.
When I bent over to cover her with a soft blanket, I found that Lan Yuan's breathing was a little heavy.
Zhou Ruiqi frowned and raised his hand to touch her forehead.
"Lanyuan, Lanyuan!" Zhou Ruiqi touched her face, "You have a fever."
The temperature was not particularly high. Zhou Ruiqi took a thermometer and measured it. It was 37.8 degrees.
Lan Yuan was not asleep. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Zhou Ruiqi standing in front of her.
She looked at the person in front of her quietly, blinked her eyes, and suspected that she was dreaming. But after being quiet for a long time, she realized, oh, it was really Zhou Ruiqi.
In fact, I am happy in my heart, but I dare not be happy.
I also felt like crying, and my eyes were sore, but I didn't dare to cry.
It seems that she is not as good as others in everything, and she can't cry better than others.
It sounds like a joke when you think about it.
She sat up, and Zhou Ruiqi leaned over and asked her, "You have a fever, did you know that?"
Lan Yuan shook his head and then nodded.
Zhou Ruiqi asked her: "Have you taken the medicine?"
Lan Yuan clenched her hands, wanting to say no, so that he could stay a little longer.
But this is too despicable. Lan Yuan thinks she has backbone. Besides, aren't they divorced?
Besides, isn’t there someone else?
"I ate it," Lan Yuan put her legs down from the sofa and pulled up the hem of her skirt. "It's okay, I'm not uncomfortable."
Zhou Ruiqi looked at her little face which had become thinner, her eyes were empty and silent, but she was still smiling.
"Is there something you want to talk to me about? Is it...Have the divorce agreement been signed?" Lan Yuan stood up, used all her courage to walk around him, and said softly.
Zhou Ruiqi frowned at her.
The kitten from before was now curled up in its hard shell, its voice becoming softer, and it no longer hugged him and cried like before. Its eyes were still red, but it didn't look at him. When it laughed, its voice was hoarse, and it made him feel distressed.
"I'm a little sleepy," Lan Yuan put on her slippers, still not looking at Zhou Ruiqi. She was actually a little afraid of him now, afraid that he would say something, but also afraid that he would say nothing. It was too contradictory. "Put the agreement on the table. I'll go up first."
Zhou Ruiqi frowned at her, watching her thin body move up little by little.
He suddenly didn't want to be angry with her anymore.
I also feel like I've been an idiot lately!
It's just a few words, why bother with a little girl?
Pretty boy, huh? He's here, who dares to come? Come on, fuck him!
Those things in the inner storeroom were so heavy, I don’t know how she managed to carry them up. She was obviously a very tearful person, but she had to hold back her tears even when her eyes turned red.
He didn't like this kind of orchid garden at all.
Zhou Ruiqi sighed, put aside his annoyance and went upstairs. He walked to the door of the room, turned the doorknob, and found that the door was suddenly locked from the inside.
Zhou Ruiqi frowned again and knocked on the door, "Lanyuan! Open the door!"
There was no response from inside.
Zhou Ruiqi immediately became anxious and was about to kick the door when a small, restrained voice rang out from inside, "What are you going to do?"
There was a hint of restrained crying in the voice.
"Open the door."
"I'm going to sleep."
"Have you taken your medicine?"
"have eaten."
"What did you take? I just looked in the medicine box downstairs, and the cold medicine inside is still unopened! What cold medicine did you take?"
There was no sound from inside for a long time.
Zhou Ruiqi knocked on the door, almost getting a little irritable, "Open the door!"
Zhou Ruiqi said this several times, and the person inside seemed to sense his critical point and said softly, "I'm sleepy. Can you leave?"
Zhou Ruiqi was not willing to listen, but it was true that he did not dare to kick. The sound behind the door was too close, and he was afraid that if he kicked in, he would hit her.
Zhou Ruiqi then looked around and walked over carefully from the balcony on the other side.
The curtains on Lan Yuan's side were not closed. When he walked over, he saw Lan Yuan squatting on the ground with her knees hugged, crying so hard that she couldn't breathe. As if she realized that the people outside had left, she slowly stood up, lowered her head, and opened the wardrobe.
then.
Zhou Ruiqi heard low sobs, suppressed from within, sobbing sounds, one after another.
At this point, he understood that what she had done downstairs was just a pretense. She had red eyes and was holding back her emotions, not daring to cry in front of others. Even after returning to her room, she only dared to hide in the closet.
Zhou Ruiqi suddenly saw the helplessness he felt when Lan Yuan said to him tearfully, "Zhou Ruiqi, I have no family left."
He cursed softly: Damn it!
He walked in barefoot and stood outside the wardrobe. Instead of opening the wardrobe immediately, he knocked gently on the door.
The crying inside stopped immediately.
At that moment, Zhou Ruiqi almost wanted to kill himself.
He knocked on the door again and said in an extremely soft voice, "Baby, can I open the closet door?"
There was no sound inside.
Zhou Ruiqi raised his hand, placed it on the handle, and opened the wardrobe door.
