Chapter 64
In the past two decades, Licheng has not only experienced rapid economic development, but the government has also made great efforts to invest in the natural environment. Therefore, Licheng Wetland has also been the first choice for vacation and tourism for surrounding residents in recent years. In particular, the development and protection of the Central Heart Lake has been favored by the general public.
The Liming Group also participated in the development of Licheng Wetland. Cheng Huaian was busy with work at the time, and the two of them often came here during short trips. Therefore, Rong Susu liked this place very much and brought her parents here to stay several times.
Recently, the entire company has been busy with the Dancer program, which has finally been successfully completed. Everyone has worked very hard. In order to reward the company for successfully completing the recording of the first talent show, Rong Susu also paid for a vacation to Licheng Wetland Park with all employees out of her own pocket.
Young people were all relaxed while playing, and they participated enthusiastically in various games. They were also allowed to bring their families, and many did. The chatter was particularly lively, especially during the lucky draw. The third prize was 10 of the latest mobile phones. Everyone was stunned when they found out who the third prize was. It was already a big deal. I wonder how generous the first and second prizes would be!
Each employee's name was put into a small ball, which was drawn by Rong Susu and announced on the spot.
"Yang Yingshan!"
"Li Yuanjia!"
. . . . . .
The lucky person who was drawn hugged his boss excitedly. Although Rong Susu is sometimes strict, she is really good at employee welfare. She also pays the maximum overtime pay, and everyone likes to work with her.
The second prize is 5 laptops, and the first prize is one person, who will be directly rewarded with travel expenses reimbursed. The employees are very excited. Those who won are happy, and those who didn’t are a little depressed. It would be fine if they didn’t win, but when they see the people who got the prize smiling happily, they can’t help but feel a little jealous.
"Everyone, isn't our President Rong the boss who loves his employees the most?" Huang Yingying was the host, leading the "cheer" on the stage.
"Yes! Our Rong General Hospital is the most generous!" When everyone heard this, they thought there was still hope and agreed loudly.
"Will our employees who didn't win any prizes, Mr. Rong, also receive a reward?"
"Mr. Rong, Mr. Rong..." Everyone started cheering.
No wonder everyone likes to be a boss. Although it is tiring and requires worrying about everything, when you see so many people supporting you, you suddenly become motivated.
"A reward of 5,000 yuan per person!" Rong Susu announced proudly.
The whole audience fell silent, and then burst into huge cheers. Rong Susu felt so satisfied that all the recent hard work seemed to have disappeared.
There was a barbecue in the evening. Because she was happy and excited, Rong Susu also drank some beer. Her face felt a little hot and she walked lightly.
Did you have fun? After returning to my room that night, my phone rang. It was a WeChat message from Yan Jiayu.
He was supposed to fly over this week to date Rong Susu, but the team-building activities took up his time. It felt like a long time since they last saw each other, not to mention that they hadn't seen each other for two weeks. Yan Jiayu sighed, thinking that having a career-oriented girlfriend was quite distressing.
As long as the pay is high, everyone is happy. Rong Susu happily shared today's event with him. This was her first time personally leading a team and getting along well with the employees. It was an experience she hadn't had since graduating from university. Although it was a bit tiring, she was in a very good mood.
In the past, she had Cheng Huaian's support, and everyone recognized her because of this big tree behind her. After her divorce, a group of old employees resigned because they never liked Rong Susu as a person. Now this group of people are the ones who have really worked with her on the projects, and in her heart, they are the real family members.
"How much did you spend? I'll make it up to you." Yan Jiayu replied.
Rong Susu didn't like what she heard. Although she knew Yan Jiayu meant well, she felt that it was a lack of recognition of her.
[Boss Yan, I'm not short of money.]
[You don't have to work so hard, I'll support you.] Yan Jiayu hadn't noticed Rong Susu's change of heart yet. Although he supported Rong Susu in doing what she liked, he would have to spend most of his time with his family. He just needed to work hard outside to make money. Of course, he hoped his wife would have a peaceful life and not be too busy. Otherwise, Rong Susu lived a life of luxury when she was with Cheng Huaian, but would have to work hard after following him, which would be shameful for him.
"You don't actually support my career, do you?" Rong Susu directly threw in the towel. She and Yan Jiayu had never discussed such in-depth issues. She originally thought that Yan Jiayu supported her by giving her the idea of doing the show, but now it seems that she was wrong.
This has stirred up a hornet's nest. Yan Jiayu knows how much Rong Susu values this project, so she should apologize quickly.
I admit my mistake and firmly support the work of the Veterans General Hospital. Please be magnanimous and don't argue with me.
The difference between Yan Jiayu and Cheng Huaian is that he is sensitive to Rong Susu's emotions and is brave enough to apologize, unlike someone who has a harder mouth than a steel drill. It is harder to get him to apologize than to sell the company.
"I forgive you. As a punishment, I will ask you to reimburse the round-trip fare." Rong Susu also gave Yan Jiayu a way out. Maybe it was just like that sometimes. Maintaining a relationship is about giving and taking, mutual respect and understanding. Now that Yan Jiayu had admitted her mistake, she couldn't keep her composure any longer.
Let's go to the wetlands on our own next week. Yan Jiayu extended an invitation. He went to Beicheng for a meeting on Friday and flew directly to Licheng after the meeting.
[Okay.] Rong Susu agreed quite readily. Furthermore, since the project had recently concluded and she no longer needed the money, and Cheng Huaian had been tactful enough not to provoke her, she could now focus on cultivating her relationship with Yan Jiayu.
As soon as I finished chatting with Yan Jiayu, I saw that she had several new followers on her social app.
Rong Susu is not an internet celebrity blogger and never shows her face. She mainly shares her daily life and food. Not many people add her. In several years, she has only two or three hundred followers. Today, just after I posted the team-building photos, several people added her. She was quite surprised.
She clicked on each other's avatars one by one and found that the IP address of one of the followers was Yicheng, which is Yan Jiayu's hometown. It immediately attracted her interest.
The follower's nickname is Wanwan, and his profile picture is his back. He has a great figure. I don't know if it's his own or he used one from the Internet. But after clicking on it, Rong Susu was disappointed. The other party's account was empty and there was nothing shared.
The other party also sent her a private message: [Fairy sister, your life is so wonderful. ]
It is the most difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood in the online world. For example, she doesn’t even know whether the other person is a man or a woman.
[Thank you for your love.] Since she didn't know the other person's background, Rong Susu could only choose this safe and polite response.
[Excuse me, does your sister often live in Shanghai?] The other party replied almost immediately.
【？ ？ ？】Maybe the IP address of the content I often share is in Shanghai, so the other party asked this question.
I'm from Yicheng, but I'm often in Shanghai. If you're free, we can meet up.
Rong Susu!!!
People are so straightforward when chatting online now. They make appointments without even knowing whether it is a man or a woman. Rong Susu did not reply, and the other party did not continue.
While taking a shower, a light bulb went off in her mind. Could this person be Yan Jiayu's mother? From what Fang Yaozhen said, this aunt didn't want Yan Jiayu to be with her at all. Could it be that she wanted to observe her secretly?
Do you know anyone with the surname Wan? Rong Susu had originally wanted to ask Yan Jiayu this question, and she had already typed it out, but on second thought, she deleted it. Who cares who she is? There was nothing unusual in her sharing, so she wasn't afraid of people seeing it.
They don't stay in high-rise hotels, but in small wooden houses on the water, which are a bit like boats drifting with the current. They sway a little when you step on them, which has a unique flavor. It is a major selling point of the wetland park, and people come to experience it in an endless stream. Although there is nothing to see at night, after all, you can no longer see the starry sky in the city now, but the advantages are highlighted in the morning when you watch the sunrise.
At the first light of dawn, a new sun rises on the blue waves, the peaks are covered with green, and the light of sunrise shines on the top of the mountain, just like the sun shining on the snow-capped mountains. All the fatigue seems to be washed away by this beautiful scenery, which is indeed a cause for yearning.
We have all been staying in the city for a long time and have few opportunities to get in touch with nature, so we are naturally excited to see the sunrise.
Many people got up early just to watch the sunrise over the lake, but in the end they didn’t see the sunrise, but encountered another jaw-dropping thing!
Early in the morning, a low-key private car was driving at a steady speed towards the central lake of the wetland park. When it turned a corner, it brushed past a small pickup truck. The other party was driving a little too fast and almost hit it.
Cheng Huaian frowned. The resort here was developed by the Dawn Group, and the car should be a construction vehicle. Driving like this was obviously against the rules, and the person in charge must make corrections.
He set out from the city early in the morning. Although there weren't many people on weekend mornings, it still took him an hour to get there. Rong Susu wouldn't get up early anyway, and when they were almost at the scenic spot, Cheng Huaian slowed down.
He was the last one to know that Rong Susu had quietly gone to Shanghai last time. Even his aunt at home knew about it in advance, but he heard it from his aunt, which made Cheng Huaian a little unhappy.
The advantage of moving back is that the newly hired Aunt Zhang is a lively person. She became friends with Aunt Wang in just two days, which made Cheng Huaian quite satisfied. You are in me and I am in you. Although there is a wall between them, he can get Rong Susu's whereabouts as quickly as possible. However, the actual implementation deviates from his expectations. Aunt Zhang also forgets to report, which leads to his failure to make arrangements according to Rong Susu's arrangements in advance.
"In the future, if you find out about this kind of thing, you must tell me the first time. I will give you 1,000 each time and add it to your monthly salary." It seems that an incentive mechanism is still needed, otherwise the aunt will not be very motivated to work.
Aunt Li was heartbroken because she lost the 1,000 yuan bonus due to her negligence. She secretly decided to hang out with Sister Wang every day, inquire about all kinds of news about Miss Rong, and strive to earn tens of thousands of yuan from Mr. Cheng in a month.
"Go find a lifeguard quickly! Look where the houses have drifted to!" Huang Yingying's voice was shrill, and she spoke harshly to the people in the park.
A few young men tried to go into the water because they were good swimmers, but they were used to swimming in a constant-temperature swimming pool and could not stand the temperature of the outdoor lake water. The temperature was low at night, and the sun had not yet fully come out, so the water temperature was far from that of the swimming pool. Some of them could not stand it after swimming for more than a few dozen meters.
"Mr. Huang, we still can't get through to Mr. Rong!" Mengmeng was almost crying in anxiety. The boss must have muted his phone again. They shouted at the top of their lungs but couldn't wake him up.
"Please be patient, everyone!" The person in charge of the park received a call and was told that there were no speedboats around the park and the driver had gone to the seaside yacht club to borrow one.
"Mr. Huang, the lifeguards haven't come to work yet, but a car has just gone to pull the speedboat, and the house is made of wood, so it won't sink for a while." A fat middle-aged man was sweating profusely, and it was unclear whether he was weak or scared.
"When can you come? Can you bear the responsibility if something happens?" Huang Yingying and others were furious. They were in a hurry, but the person in charge of the park was not in a hurry.
Before he even reached the lake, Cheng Huaian heard a commotion. A group of people were surrounding the person in charge of the park, making a lot of noise.
"Mr. Cheng! Mr. Cheng!" Huang Yingying saw him as if she had seen a savior. She left the person in charge and ran over in a hurry.
This person must be Rong Susu's current right-hand man. He jumped ship from the Li'an Group and slashed at his old employer with his first sword, winning a great victory. Cheng Huaian had no impression of this person originally, but learned about him from Qi Shuo a few days ago.
"What's wrong?" he asked with a frown, his heart sinking. Huang Yingying could find him here. Could something have happened to Rong Susu?
"The water house of the National Taiwan University Hospital has drifted away!" Huang Yingying cried, pointing to a group of small houses in the center of the lake.
She was woken up early in the morning by someone banging on the door. She got up to watch the sunrise but didn't see it. Instead, she found that the water house of the National Taiwan University Hospital had drifted to the center of the lake. The Heart Lake is large, and it had drifted two or three kilometers overnight. Now it was floating alone on the water.
The problem is that no one answered Rong Susu’s phone. It must have been muted at night.
Everyone knows that Rong Susu can't swim, so they are even more anxious.
The park is not equipped with a speedboat, so we have to go to the city to pull it out. The weather is cold now, the water temperature is low, and there is no one who is good enough to swim and go into the water to rescue people.
Before she could explain everything, she felt a gust of wind passing by her ears, and with a "plop", the tall figure beside her disappeared.
Team building is about rest. Rong Susu is not the kind of boss who would take up employees' rest days to play with her. Everyone can get up whenever they want, so she just turned her phone to silent mode. Knowing that some people would get up to watch the sunrise, she deliberately wore earplugs at night, so no matter how noisy it was outside, she could still sleep soundly.
This water house is different, it's so swaying. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to sleep well, but she ended up sleeping very well.
In her dream, the project was a big hit and she made a lot of money. She proudly showed off to Cheng Huaian. However, Cheng Huaian was bankrupt at that time. He was so poor that he had sold his house and car and had to borrow money from her miserably.
"Rong Susu, please be kind and lend me some money." Cheng Huaian had an unshaven beard and his clothes were full of patches.
"Cheng Huaian didn't expect that there would be a day when you would ask me for help, hahaha!"
The glamorous Queen Rong generously threw a stack of money on that handsome face, laughed heartily, and hugged the handsome boy beside her with great pride.
But the handsome guy is not Yan Jiayu. Rong Susu is still thinking that it seems that she doesn’t like this person very much.
But this beautiful dream didn't last long before it was interrupted by a loud noise. Was someone setting off fireworks so early in the morning? She turned over impatiently, and the next second, her eye mask and earplugs were pulled away.
Rong Susu was sleepy and furious because her sweet dream was interrupted. However, when she saw who it was, her anger disappeared.
"Is it raining heavily outside?" she asked blankly.
There was not a dry spot on Cheng Huai'an's body. It was so wet that it couldn't be more soaked. All his clothes were stuck to his body. The thin fabric could not hide his muscular body. It seemed that this man had not given up fitness recently. But why did this man break into her room so early in the morning and appear in front of her? She was full of questions.
"Why are you here?" Rong Susu hugged the quilt with some vigilance, not because she was on guard against Cheng Huaian. She was still wearing thin pajamas. The room was warm at night with the air conditioner on. This man rushed in early in the morning and felt cold. She quickly lifted the quilt onto her shoulders.
However, in Cheng Huaian's eyes, this move only made it more obvious. Even if he had feelings for Rong Susu, he would not choose this time.
"Rong Susu, look under your feet!" His voice couldn't be colder.
It would have been fine if I hadn't looked, but when I looked I saw that the water was almost reaching the edge of the bed, and all kinds of items in the suitcase were floating up, and even Cheng Huaian's underwear was at his feet!
"What's going on?" Rong Susu was completely confused.
She was clearly staying in a water house last night, not on the water, so how come when she woke up, she was surrounded by water?
Rong Susu couldn't swim, and even though she was confused, she realized that something was wrong. She looked out the window vigilantly. My goodness, she was not on the shore at all, she was in the center of the lake!
Subconsciously, she hugged Cheng Huaian's neck, her voice trembling unconsciously, her upper and lower teeth chattering, "What should I do? Why did I run to the middle of the lake?"
These water houses are a new idea to attract tourists. To put it bluntly, they are illegal buildings. Not only are they not solid, they don't even have a foundation. If Cheng Huaian knew about this, he would never allow the park to do such a thing.
"Don't be afraid, put your clothes on quickly." He coaxed and comforted her softly.
He held the sweet and soft beauty in his arms, but he had no other romantic thoughts. Rong Susu was most afraid of water. At this moment, the person in his arms was shivering, and it was obvious that she was extremely scared.
He was all wet and too cold, while Rong Susu was warm. However, the more this was the case, the more he couldn't hug her, in order to prevent the sudden change of temperature. Otherwise, Rong Susu's small body would definitely catch a cold.
"Cheng Huaian, what should we do?" Rong Susu's clothes were all in the suitcase, which were now soaked in water. She was only wearing pajamas and asked blankly.
There was no time to wait. If the water continued to flood over, the house would become heavier and would only sink faster. It would be too late for them to get out. Cheng Huaian grabbed the quilt and wrapped Rong Susu, kicked down the door, and carried her up.
Rong Susu sat cautiously on the narrow door panel, not daring to move. The rippling lake water was beneath her body. Even though she was wrapped in a quilt, she was still cold all over. The door panel was up and down and had already been wet. Fortunately, the wind was calm today, otherwise she would have fallen into the water.
"Cheng Huaian, are you cold?" Rong Susu asked, her voice muffled and nasal, like a cold.
It was cold, of course it was cold. The water was too cold. Cheng Huaian held on to the door panel with all his strength and pushed forward while swimming. He swam for several kilometers early in the morning. Even though he had been exercising for many years, he was physically exhausted and consumed too much energy, so his speed slowed down.
He shook his head, not knowing whether the other party had seen it.
"Thank you for coming to save me." A line of tears slid down her cheeks and was drowned in the boundless lake water. Silently, Rong Susu cried, and her tears couldn't stop falling.
She was not a crybaby, and it seemed that she had hardly cried since she could remember. Most of her tears seemed to be because of Cheng Huaian, because he ignored her, because he had quarreled with her, and because they were divorced.
No one answered. She had never thought that one day Cheng Huaian would come to save her at all costs. She always thought that she was no longer that important in his heart.
Cheng Huaian didn't have time to think too much, nor did he have the energy to think too much. The water temperature was too low, causing him to consume calories too quickly. Whenever he felt that he could not hold on any longer, he gritted his teeth. But the person he wanted to save was Rong Susu, and he must not let Rong Susu get hurt. This thought was his spiritual support.
"Don't worry, this distance is nothing." He comforted them. It was only more than a thousand meters away. He saw someone go into the water to pick them up.
"Mr. Cheng! Mr. Rong!" A small speedboat appeared in their sight in the distance, getting closer and closer, stirring up a long splash of water, and the lifeguards raised their arms and shouted.
"Cheng Huaian, look, the boat is coming!" Rong Susu shouted in surprise. When she turned around, she saw that familiar face was extremely pale, like the snow on the mountains at dusk. His blue lips were slightly raised and he smiled weakly at her. She didn't even have time to grab Cheng Huaian's hand before she saw him sinking.
"Cheng Huaian!"
***
He didn't know how long he had slept. He was very drowsy. He knew he was dreaming but he couldn't open his eyes. He hadn't rested for a long time, so he decided to let himself sleep for a while. But he seemed to hear Rong Susu's anxious voice.
"Doctor, why hasn't he woken up yet?" Rong Susu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Cheng Huaian fainted due to exhaustion and has not woken up since being rescued by the lifeguard.
"He is just too tired, and the symptoms haven't subsided yet, so don't worry." The doctor explained that it was not a big problem. Fortunately, he was young and strong. He was just too tired and needed to rest.
When Cheng Huaian woke up, his first sensation was a dry, sore throat. He struggled to open his eyes, his vision blurring for a few seconds before gradually coming to focus. The unfamiliar ceiling, the smell of disinfectant, and the IV needle on the back of his hand.
Then he felt weight. Rong Susu was asleep on the edge of the bed, her head resting on her arm. There was a faint blue shadow under her thick eyelashes. One of her hands was still on his quilt, and her fingertips unconsciously grasped the corner of the quilt.
Cheng Huaian looked at her quietly, not moving. It was already dark outside the window, and only a small night light was on in the ward, the soft light outlining her tired profile. He remembered the last time she stayed with him like this, when he had just gotten married and had been hospitalized for gastric bleeding after drinking at a social gathering.
He moved his fingers very lightly, wanting to touch her hair, but then stopped. Rong Susu seemed to sense something and suddenly woke up. She looked up to meet his clear-headed gaze. Complex emotions instantly surged in her eyes, including worry and a hint of regret that he could not understand.
"Are you awake?" Her voice was a little hoarse. She immediately stood up to press the call bell, then turned back to pour water, her movements somewhat hurried. "Are you feeling unwell? The doctor said you're exhausted and have some inflammation, so you need to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation."
She helped him sit up and handed the warm water to his lips. Cheng Huaian drank a few sips from her hand, his eyes never leaving her face.
"How long have I slept?" His voice was hoarse even more than hers.
"It's been two days and one night." Rong Susu put down the water cup, her fingers unconsciously twirling the corner of the quilt. "Are you hungry? I asked someone to make some porridge and keep it warm."
Cheng Huaian shook his head, his eyes fell on her - she had changed into clean clothes, but her hair was tied up casually and her face did not look very good.
"How about you?" he asked. "Are you hurt? Have you caught a cold?"
Rong Susu was stunned for a moment and shook her head. "I'm fine." She lowered her eyes. "Thank you, I'm glad you came."
She didn't say anything else.
The doctor came in to check and confirmed that his fever had subsided, but he still needed rest. After the nurse changed the IV bag, they were the only two left in the ward.
After a moment of silence, Rong Susu sat down again, this time on a chair a little further away from the bed. Her fingers were twisted together, a little movement she made when she was nervous.
"That water house...is an illegal building," she suddenly said, her voice low. "The park manager has been suspended, and a comprehensive overhaul will be implemented."
Cheng Huaian said "hmm".
There was another silence.
"Why are you here in the wetland?" Rong Susu finally asked, "So early..."
Cheng Huaian looked out the window. "I heard you were having team building there."
The answer was vague, but he didn't explain further.
Rong Susu suddenly remembered something - Cheng Huaian had a serious stomach problem and couldn't get cold. Such cold lake water...
"Your stomach..." she blurted out, "Does it hurt?"
Cheng Huaian seemed a little surprised that she would ask this. He was silent for a moment before saying lightly, "It's okay."
But Rong Susu saw his hand unconsciously pressing on his stomach.
She stood up and took out the thermos from the cupboard. "You'd better drink some porridge. It's not good to eat on an empty stomach."
She served the porridge skillfully, avoiding the shredded ginger. Cheng Huaian didn't like it. When they first got married, he had a lot of social engagements, and she always prepared midnight snacks for him like this.
Cheng Huaian looked at the bowl of porridge she handed over and did not take it immediately.
"Susu." He called her name, his voice very soft, "I'm glad you're okay."
Just such a simple sentence made Rong Susu feel her eyes sore. She quickly turned around and pretended to put the thermos away.
"That day... you swam so far pushing the door panel..." She turned her back to him, her voice trembling, "Why didn't you get on the board and rest for a while? The door panel should be able to bear the weight of two people..."
"You are afraid of water." Cheng Huaian said simply.
Because of this, and because she was afraid of water, he didn't dare to risk any instability in the door panel and would rather soak himself in cold water.
Rong Susu took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions that were surging up in her.
She returned to the bed and when she took the empty bowl, her fingers accidentally touched his, and his fingertips were cold.
"Is it cold?" she asked.
Cheng Huaian shook his head.
But she still got up, brought another quilt, and covered him carefully. When her hand gently brushed his shoulder, she could feel his instant stiffness.
"Cheng Huaian." She said suddenly, "I'm sorry."
He looked up at her with deep eyes.
"Why apologize?"
Rong Susu opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. Was it because of her decisiveness during the divorce? Because of her misunderstanding of him all these years? Because she never truly understood his efforts?
Finally she just said, "For many things... before me."
Cheng Huaian didn't say anything, but just looked at her quietly. His gaze was so deep that she could hardly bear it.
"Rong Susu, you have nothing to apologize for."
"You should go back and rest." After a long while, he said, "Let Qi Shuo come."
Rong Susu shook her head: "I'll wait until you finish the infusion."
She sat down again in her chair, determined.
Cheng Huaian didn't try to persuade her anymore and closed his eyes, but Rong Susu knew that he was not asleep because he didn't breathe like that when he was asleep.
The medicine in the infusion tube dripped drop by drop, making a slight sound in the quiet ward.
Rong Susu looked at his face. He had lost a lot of weight, and there were faint shadows under his eyes. She remembered what the doctor had said: "Mr. Cheng is seriously overdrawn, his stomach is not in good condition, and he caught a cold this time. He needs to take good care of himself."
She never thought that Cheng Huaian would fall. In her memory, he would always be the omnipotent man.
But now she knew that it was not that he would not fall, he just never let her see it.
Just like when they divorced, she only saw his calmness and decisiveness, but didn't see his slightly trembling hands when he signed. At that time, she thought he couldn't wait to get rid of her.
"Cheng Huaian." She called him softly.
He opened his eyes.
“Do you remember the first time we went to the wetlands?” she asked.
Cheng Huaian's eyes flickered slightly. "Remember, you insisted on riding that little wooden boat and ended up getting seasick."
Rong Susu was slightly stunned. "Do you still remember?"
"Yeah." He responded briefly.
She thought he had forgotten all about it. She thought she was the only one who treasured every little detail of those years in her memory.
"Actually..." She chose her words carefully, "I've always wanted to ask you, why did you agree to divorce?"
She almost held her breath as she asked this question.
Cheng Huaian looked at her quietly, with something flickering in his eyes. Just when she thought he wouldn't answer, he spoke.
"We have a tough battle to fight. I'll feel more at ease if you're out of here."
"Actually, Rong Susu, I've never given up on you. The others are just decoys. To confuse the enemy, you have to do the whole thing."
"We will remarry sooner or later, whether there is someone else or not."
What?! Rong Susu stood up from her chair in surprise and stared at Cheng Huaian for a long time, unable to speak.
"You, you... plotted against me!"
It's that simple, because she wanted freedom, so he gave it to her, but it was only short-lived.
Rong Susu felt like something hit her heart hard, and her face turned red with anger.
"Don't be angry. I just saved you and let you float on the water. This was not planned."
There was a hint of teasing in his voice, and he regained his calm and composed demeanor.
Rong Susu wanted to say something, but seeing his tired face, she swallowed it back.
"You will be Mrs. Cheng's again soon, come up and sleep." Cheng Huaian lifted a corner of the quilt, but was ruthlessly rejected.
"Bah! Dream on." Her eyes widened.
Cheng Huaian didn't speak again, but his breathing was steady. This time, he really fell asleep.
Rong Susu sat in the dark, looking at his sleeping face, remembering the weak smile he gave before he sank into the water.
She finally understood that some love really cannot be explained clearly. She will be entangled with Cheng Huaian for the rest of her life, and neither of them can let go.
