However, Ruan Meiying went to Lu Hongming's workplace and heard that he hadn't gone there yet.
So she hid under the tree.
But after waiting for a long time without seeing anyone, she went up to ask again. This time she asked someone else and learned that Lu Hongming was not coming to work today.
Ruan Meiying gritted her teeth in anger.
With no other option, she had to go to the Lu family's house.
This time, however, they encountered Lu Hongming on the way.
Lu Hongming looked at her and stopped in his tracks.
Ruan Meiying was overjoyed and jogged towards Lu Hongming, her voice filled with delight: "Hongming."
Lu Hongming looked at her with a detached gaze.
He had just inquired about Ruan Meiying, and what he heard was somewhat overturning his understanding.
Seeing the person with a smile on their face jogging towards him, he raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.
Ruan Meiying said, "I was just about to go find you when you arrived. We are truly in sync."
Lu Hongming asked, "Where are you from?"
Without hesitation, Nguyen My Anh said, "I came out of my house."
Lu Hongming remained calm, unable to resist wanting to hear the truth: "Which house did you come from?"
Ruan Meiying paused for a moment and said, "I just came from...home. I only have one home in Jingcheng!"
Lu Hongming frowned slightly but did not point it out.
He asked, "What do you want with me?"
With a shy blush, Ruan Meiying asked, "We haven't seen each other for several days, don't you miss me?"
For some reason, looking at Ruan Meiying like this, Lu Hongming felt as if something was missing in his heart.
Ruan Meiying has learned to lie, and after such a big incident, he is not someone she can confide in?
He didn't speak, and the atmosphere instantly became awkward.
Ruan Meiying reached out and tugged at Lu Hongming's sleeve.
However, Lu Hongming subconsciously withdrew his hand.
Ruan Meiying was stunned.
Lu Hongming then coughed lightly and said, "There are many people on the road; it wouldn't be good if they saw us."
Ruan Meiying smiled slightly.
Thinking it over, he said, "Let's find a place to get something to eat. I have something to tell you."
Lu Hongming nodded.
Ruan Meiying wanted to go to the place she had visited before, but Lu Hongming refused and instead found a quiet corner in a nearby teahouse.
Ruan Meiying sat down but was still unwilling to tell the truth. She said to Lu Hongming, "Hongming, I want to find a place to do some business, learn to be independent, and move out of my family home. What do you think?"
In the past, Lu Hongming wouldn't have said anything.
Looking at Nguyen My Anh's face now, it feels so unfamiliar.
That feeling was strange.
He didn't say anything.
Ruan Meiying had already sensed his unusual behavior and asked, "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Lu Hongming then asked, "Why did you suddenly have this idea?"
Ruan Meiying said, "I've always had this idea, but I've never had the courage to make a decision. Now I want to ask for your opinion."
Lu Hongming said, "Actually, I don't think it's that good for you to move out of your home and start your own business now."
Ruan Meiying said all this just to give herself an excuse; she didn't really want to do anything.
She frowned and asked, "What do you think I should do?"
Lu Hongming didn't discuss this issue, saying, "Let's talk about that later. Right now, you need to focus on your studies. As for doing business, you can do it anytime in the future."
Nguyen My Anh's main concern now is that she dares not go back to the Nguyen family home.
The Ruan family wouldn't want her now, so she needed to find an excuse to save face and hopefully get Lu Hongming to take her in.
She said, "It was because of going to school that I realized that women in the new era should learn to be independent and to do their own things well. I plan to start my own business and I also plan to move out of my family home. Why don't you help me think of a solution?"
Lu Hongming has been angry ever since he heard it.
He even wondered, from Ruan Meiying's words, how much of what Ruan Meiying had said before was true and how much was false.
The girl that Nguyen My Anh called a bad woman... could she actually be the real Miss Nguyen?
Thinking about this made him feel nauseous.
Then he realized that he had actually married Nguyen Mei Ying.
The marriage certificate was obtained in such a rush...
A series of feelings of unease arose in my heart.
That feeling was awful.
He stood up and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Focus on your studies first, and we can discuss it later."
He stood up as he said this, saying, "I have something to do, I'm going to work now."
Ruan Meiying immediately said, "I'll go to the company with you. It should be very close. I promise I'll be quiet and won't cause you any trouble."
Lu Hongming said, "I'm going to the company. If I have business to attend to, I'll be going now."
He needs to investigate this thoroughly.
What exactly happened to Nguyen My Anh?
A hint of disappointment flickered in Ruan Meiying's eyes.
Lu Hongming actually said that to her?
She stood up, about to speak, but Lu Hongming had already strode out.
Ruan Meiying chased after him and said, "Lu Hongming, I have something else to say."
Lu Hongming then stopped in his tracks.
He turned to look at Nguyen My Anh.
Ruan Meiying jogged over and said, "I... Lu Hongming, I'm thinking of living with you, what do you think?"
Lu Hongming was originally thinking about getting the wedding done as soon as possible, but Ruan Meiying had just changed her perception.
He didn't know why.
It's particularly uncomfortable.
To put it another way, it's like I've been kept in the dark all along.
That feeling was awful.
We haven't had a wedding yet.
Nguyen My Anh said, "But we are already husband and wife."
Legally speaking...
It's because of that sentence.
Lu Hongming found it even more unbearable.
I feel like I've been set up. A man like him would be gentle and tender to the people around him, provided that the person is worthy.
From the moment Nguyen Mei-ying spoke until now, he realized that not a single word she said was true, and that she was trying to use him.
So, was their marriage also part of her plan?
Thinking about it this way, he felt particularly bad, and his gaze toward Ruan Meiying darkened.
Ruan Meiying was already a little uneasy when she said these words, and now, looking at Lu Hongming's eyes, she felt even more uncertain.
She raised her eyelids and asked in a clear, crisp voice, "What's wrong?"
Lu Hongming's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "If we live together before I can give you a wedding, I'm afraid it will be bad for your reputation. Besides, I'm afraid your uncle won't accept it."
Ruan Meiying lowered her head, her hands clenching slightly at her sides, and said, "Hongming, I have something important to tell you. I've been hesitating for a while, not knowing how to tell you."
Lu Hongming looked at her and asked, "What? Is there something you can't say?"
Ruan Meiying reversed the facts and said...
