Chapter 2240 I don't want her to feel wronged
Ruomu half sat up, worry showing on his face.
Xiao Jun asked her, "I used to be Master Xiao. If you wanted to buy clothes, I could book the entire mall. Now I'm broke and can't even afford to buy you a dress. Do you still want to stay with me?"
But she smiled.
Xiao Jun asked in confusion: "I'm bankrupt, not rich, why are you so happy?"
Ruomu leaned lightly on his shoulder and said, "Before, you were too rich. I always felt pressured and unequal when I was with you. Now it's perfect. You and I are the same."
"I'm not as good as you. You're a proletarian, and I'm not only proletarian, but I'm also in debt..."
Ruomu didn't seem to be worried, saying that being propertyless or in debt was only temporary. Since he had accumulated so much wealth in the past, he would certainly be able to do so in the future.
With Ruomu's encouragement, Xiao Jun felt much better.
The huge stone that had been weighing on my heart for many days was finally put down.
After he told Ruomu that he was bankrupt and in debt, the two of them still got along as usual.
Two days later, Ruomu received a phone call. After hanging up, she changed into going-out clothes.
Xiao Jun asked her what she was going to do, and she said she was going shopping with Mu Ying.
"You two have such a good relationship?"
She smiled and nodded: "Yeah, you didn't expect it, did you?"
When Xiao Jun saw that she was only wearing a big coat and her neck was empty when she went out, he helped her get a scarf and handed her a bank card.
"Just swipe this card if you want to buy anything. The password is my birthday."
That card was the bank card that Xiao Jun could still use. The money in it was neither much nor little. It was definitely not enough for her to buy a big house, but if she wanted to buy a handbag worth over ten thousand yuan, she could still afford it.
But he also knew that Ruomu would not buy any luxury goods.
She is very thrifty and keeps accounts every day. She understands the importance of money better than he does. She neither worships money nor hates it.
But he still didn't want her to appear timid while shopping with her little sister, so he added: "Don't be reluctant to spend money, you can earn money again."
Ruomu hesitated for a moment, took it, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the face, then walked out happily.
But she only wandered around for two hours before returning.
Xiao Jun was just walking out of the study. He saw her with empty hands and a little red eyes, so he asked her why she came back so soon.
She smiled and said don't mention it. Mu Ying had something urgent to do, and she was called away as soon as they started shopping.
Xiao Jun asked her again, why are your eyes so red?
She said it was cold today and she was freezing.
As she spoke, she deliberately put her cold claws into the back of his collar. Xiao Jun grabbed her hand, held it in his palm, and blew a breath of warm air on her.
"I just made some hot tea, come and have a cup."
"good."
She followed Xiao Jun into the studio, drank tea and watched him paint. Perhaps because she was warm, she fell asleep holding the cup.
Xiao Jun gently took the cup away from her and looked at her slightly swollen eyes. Was it really just the cold?
After this day, some subtle changes occurred between the two.
Before going to bed at night, Ruomu asked him questions about his future life, such as where he would live, how he would make money to support his daily life, etc.
Xiao Jun told her that Chu Lingfeng had given them this house to live in, so they didn't have to worry about the housing problem for the time being. They could buy a big house of their own when they saved enough money in the future.
As for the money for daily expenses, as long as he can continue painting, he will not let her go hungry.
Ruomu asked him again, "If you hadn't broken up with your father, you might not have to live this kind of life. Do you regret it?"
Xiao Jun frowned after hearing this, because Ruomu had not said this before. She did not think there was anything wrong with such a life. She even thought that it was very promising for the two of them to work together and share the pressure together.
"I've never regretted it, why are you asking this suddenly?"
He wanted to know if Ruomu was worried about him because she felt disappointed when she went shopping with Mu Ying during the day and Mu Ying was willing to spend money while she was short of money.
After all, Mu Ying is the wife of the president of the Chu Group and is financially independent, while Chu Lingfeng's company is also thriving and growing like a snowball.
He thought that perhaps she envied the life that Aying and Chu Lingfeng lived, which made her concerned about their financial problems.
But on second thought, Ruomu could sometimes even be described as "low in material desires". She did not discriminate against the poor and loved the rich. He thought that no matter how rich other people's lives were, Ruomu should not feel disappointed.
Ruomu was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Is it because of me that you broke up with your family?"
Xiao Jun could understand her feelings and why she asked this question. She was probably afraid that he would be dragged down because of her.
But Xiao Jun's severance of relations with his father was the result of a long-accumulated conflict that erupted at one point.
It has no direct relationship with Ruomu.
In order to prevent her from having wild thoughts, Xiao Jun opened his heart to her and told her about the conflicts between himself and his father over the years, as well as his father's control over him, including the reason for his debt.
He frankly said that he felt very comfortable and at ease after no longer relying on his father for living, and he did not feel wronged because of it.
What's more, even if he went bankrupt and was in debt, he still had friends willing to help him, and his paintings still had value, so the difficulties were only temporary, and he was not too worried about his future life.
After listening to this, Ruomu gently snuggled into his arms and hugged him.
She didn't say anything, but Xiao Jun felt that Ruomu was feeling sorry for him.
"Don't be sad, I feel fine now." Xiao Jun said.
She nodded: "If we manage our lives well, things will definitely get better..."
Xiao Jun smiled and said, "My wife is thrifty and knows how to make ends meet. Of course, we will be fine."
As soon as he mentioned his wife, Ruomu felt embarrassed and said proudly, "I haven't agreed to marry you yet. I still need to think about it."
Xiao Jun turned over and lay on top of her: "You are mine. If you don't marry me, who else do you want to marry?"
…
After that day, Ruomu never mentioned money again, and the two returned to their previous state.
But for some reason, Ruomu seemed to be worried. He was frowning and worried all day long.
At night, Xiao Jun went to bed as usual, turned off the lights, and wanted her.
Ruomu was a little resistant, but still agreed.
His wounds have healed well, so it's okay to indulge himself a little.
However, Ruomu was very reserved and couldn't relax throughout the whole process.
Afterwards, Xiao Jun asked her what was wrong, whether she was not feeling well, and why she was not in good shape today.
Ruomu shook his head, said he was fine, and turned his back.
Xiao Jun is not stupid. How could he not tell whether something is wrong or not?
And her body is the most honest. In the past, she would actively cater to him, and every drop of sweat was full of passion and vitality.
She was so lively, that's why Xiao Jun became addicted to her. Even with the pain, he couldn't help but want her every night.
But this time, strangely enough, Ruomu really turned into wood.
Xiao Jun felt that he was being neglected and even suspected that he was not doing well enough.
When he asked, Ruomu shook her head again and said there was nothing wrong with it.
"Then what's wrong with you? Why do you stop liking me so quickly?"
If you like something, your body will react.
If you don’t like something, it’s like a pool of still water that has frozen. No matter how hard you try, you can’t create any waves.
Ruomu is cold now.
