Chen Jinheng's eyes were cold. He forcefully shook off Lin Ruoyan's hand from his waist, turned around, and took a few steps back, reminding her in a deep voice,
"Ruoyan, men and women should not touch each other. What you are doing is inappropriate."
Lin Ruoyan didn't care, and tiptoed towards the man in front of her.
"Jinheng, weren't we like this before?"
A flash of anger crossed Chen Jinheng's eyes. He pushed her away again and warned her sternly.
"Things are different now; you and I are no longer children!"
She was startled, and when she noticed the man's fierce gaze, she knew he was truly angry.
"Different now? Hahaha! Chen Jinheng, you don't actually have your eye on that woman, do you?"
Have you forgotten why you married her?
Tears streamed down her cheeks. Her voice hoarse, she stared blankly at Chen Jinheng and accused him.
"You only married her because she looks like me."
She gently wiped away the tears in her eyes and said firmly.
Chen Jinheng's eyes darkened, and he retorted sharply.
"It has nothing to do with her. I didn't marry her because of you."
"Not because of me? Then, you really have fallen for her?"
Lin Ruoyan stomped her feet on the spot like a madwoman, repeating the same thing over and over again.
"This is impossible! Impossible! You couldn't possibly like her. Jinheng, you're lying to me, aren't you?"
Chen Jinheng's gaze was deep as he took off his shirt and draped it over her shoulders, speaking softly.
"Ruoyan, Brother Song entrusted you to me before he left, and I will certainly not break my promise to him."
If he knew how much you tormented yourself, he wouldn't rest in peace even in the afterlife.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoyan's dim eyes brightened again. "Chen Jinheng, you're still angry that I married him, aren't you? Listen to me, marrying him wasn't my intention."
At that time, you were seriously injured, and your father had borrowed a lot of money. The creditors kept coming to your door to threaten you.
I only married Brother Song to help me.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jinheng did not show any surprise; instead, he said calmly,
"Ruoyan, Brother Song likes you, you should marry Brother Song."
At the time, I felt it was the best decision.
Lin Ruoyan was surprised, a pang of pain flashed through her heart, and she said with burning eyes,
"So, you knew I married him?"
"Um."
Chen Jinheng not only knew about it, but also sent them congratulatory gifts. Even the money that made the Song family rich was borrowed from Chen Jinheng.
"Ruoyan, don't worry, your father is my mentor, and Brother Song is my savior."
As long as you stay in Lingyan Pavilion and don't cause trouble.
You can then enjoy wealth and luxury in the Marquis's mansion forever, until you leave this world, but..."
"You just can't give me a formal title, right?"
"Um."
"Chen Jinheng, is this how you treat your mentor's daughter?"
I am your brother An and sister Ping's nominal mother!
"Regarding An'er and Ping'er, I will arrange for Aunt Xu and Aunt Zhu to take care of them in a few days."
Just focus on getting better! Once you're fully recovered, I'll find you a good marriage.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoyan burst into maniacal laughter, mocking him.
"It's too late. Now everyone outside knows that I, Lin Ruoyan, am your woman."
"Ruoyan! You and I both know perfectly well that the rumors are false. Stop being so stubborn!"
Lin Ruoyan looked at him nonchalantly and raised her voice to mock him.
"Chen Jinheng, do you really think Gu Qianluo likes you?"
She doesn't even want to help you take care of your child, how could she possibly like you?
Upon hearing this, Chen Jinheng's expression turned somber, a flicker of fear crossing his heart. He replied,
"You don't need to worry about that! I love her, and she will fall in love with me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Ruoyan covered her mouth and laughed.
"Hahaha! She's nothing but a shameless woman who's good at seducing people!"
She failed to seduce the Second Prince before, so now she's going to seduce you!
You still treat her like a treasure? How ridiculous! Haha!
A sharp slap landed, her body trembling uncontrollably. She covered her burning cheek with one hand, her eyes reddening, and said in a hoarse voice,
"Chen Jinheng! You...you actually hit me?"
The man was hot-tempered and didn't control his strength when he slapped her, leaving a handprint on Lin Ruoyan's fair face.
Lin Ruoyan rolled her eyes at him, wiped the red from the corner of her lips, and said self-deprecatingly,
"Chen Jinheng, I never expected you to be interested in a merchant's daughter of humble origins?"
Chen Jinheng's expression was indifferent, his eyes were cold, and he clenched his fists under his clothes, saying coldly,
"Lin Ruoyan, she is my wife, and we are one."
From now on, if anyone dares to say anything disrespectful to her again, I will not let them get away with it.
Sensing the man's anger, Lin Ruoyan was stunned, her eyes lost their luster, and her heart was filled with fear.
Her eyes flickered, her previous arrogant attitude changed, and she pleaded in a tearful voice.
"Jinheng, I didn't mean to scold her!"
Please don't send me away, okay? I am, after all, the mother of my child!
Upon hearing this, Chen Jinheng's expression darkened, his eyes devoid of any emotion, and he leaned down to warn him.
"That's precisely why you should have self-awareness."
"Chen Jinheng, you've changed! You once said that you wouldn't let your feelings for your children affect you until you avenged Brother Song."
Now look at you! For a woman you've only known for three days, you've forgotten Brother Song's life-saving grace!
"I didn't! I will never forget! I will definitely make the Flying Demon Gang pay for the blood debt they owe me!"
"What about me? You once said you wouldn't abandon me, wouldn't let me wander aimlessly."
