Chapter 6 Arrest "You want to sleep with me?"
The free air is so fresh, the morning sunshine is so beautiful, it’s so good to be alive!
Although the journey down the mountain was a bit difficult, with basically no main road, only a rugged path with insects and thorns on it, fortunately Tian Ruan managed to make it through.
After an hour and a half, he finally reached the foot of the mountain. From then on, the world was far away and he was the master of his own life.
Tian Ruan jumped onto a main road, walked along the roadside, and soon saw the bus stop. He waited for half an hour at the bus stop. When the first bus arrived, he got on and scanned the code to pay. He then sat in the last row amid the strange gazes of office workers.
Tian Ruan knew that he looked strange. He was dirty and carrying such a bag, as if he was fleeing.
More than half an hour later, he arrived at the last stop: Tangshui Lane.
Tian Ruan's stomach growled. He got out of the car and saw the ancient alley with blue bricks and black tiles across the street. He was instantly captivated. When the green light came on, he crossed the zebra crossing and walked to Tangshui Lane on the opposite side.
The alley is quaint, and the signs are all fake, which are just a piece of oilcloth lifted up by a stick, with the store name and signature features written on it, hung vertically next to the store door.
The names are straightforward and modern, such as Lao Liu Congee Shop, Zhang Wu Baozi Shop, Shanxia Tea House, Tangshui Tang Congee, Beijing Roast Duck, and even Cainiao Post Station...
Tian Ruan wanted to eat shengjian, so he went to the steamed bun shop.
The bun shop has dine-in service, but at this moment it was packed with old men and women, with no place to sit. Fortunately, there were two tables outside, so Tian Ruan bought some shengjian and sugar porridge and sat outside to eat slowly.
The teahouse opposite opened its doors, and the owner sat at the doorway playing the pipa. I didn't know what tune it was, but it was brisk and melodious, and it seemed to have awakened the alley, and more and more people were coming and going.
The hustle and bustle of the city has always touched people's hearts. Tian Ruan couldn't help but think, why not he rent a house in this alley, and then find a way to take the adult college entrance examination, and live like this day by day, year by year, which would be pretty good.
On the other side of the alley, a pure black Maybach drove in slowly. Because the alley was narrow and difficult to drive, the car stopped after a while. There were four or five domestic cars following behind. When they saw the car in front stopped, they also stopped.
A dozen men in dark blue security uniforms got out of the car and walked in unison to the side of the Maybach, waiting for instructions.
The shiny window of the Maybach's back seat rolled down, and a slender, white finger stretched out from inside, pointing forward.
Upon receiving the order, the security team began a door-to-door carpet search. In just three minutes, they locked on their target person - a young man who was eating shengjian (fried dumplings) in front of the bun shop.
The young man still looked a bit like a teenager, with a slender figure, about 1.76 meters tall, a small head and face, and very delicate facial features. Even though his body and face were dirty, it could not hide his originally handsome appearance.
Especially those eyes, sparkling, warm and clean, as if they were ignorant of the world. The sun prefers such a face, adding a layer of filter of an angel fallen to the earth.
The security team approached cautiously. On the surface, they were the Yu family's security guards, but in reality they were bodyguards. All of them were tall and strong, but at this moment they were as cautious as thieves, fearing that Tian Ruan would run away.
Tian Ruan naturally noticed so many people surrounding him. He turned around and looked at the bodyguards in confusion. He thought they were the urban management officers who were not allowing the bun shop to set up a stall on the roadside.
The boss of the bun shop was startled and asked hesitantly, "Would you like to eat buns?"
The bodyguards suddenly bowed in unison to Tian Ruan: "Hello, Madam!"
Tian Ruan had just stuffed a dumpling into his mouth and almost spit it out. Then, he saw a pair of long legs passing between the bodyguards, with shiny custom-made leather shoes stepping on the blue bricks. The tall figure was dressed in formal attire, with a solemn expression. When his eyes were lowered, it seemed as if icy spikes fell from the sky and the frost was ten miles away.
Tian Ruan shuddered violently and looked at the man in disbelief.
In Yu Jingmo's eyes, Tian Ruan at this moment looked somewhat funny and somewhat pitiful. His cheeks bulged out by the fried dumplings made him look more like a squirrel. Suddenly, Yu Jingmo's mood, which had been gloomy for a long time, inexplicably improved.
Tian Ruan blinked hard, hoping it was an illusion, but it wasn't. The tall figure of Yu Jingmo was clearly reflected in her pupils.
He stared blankly at Yu Jingmo walking towards him in two steps at a time, then he realized what was happening and shrank back.
Yu Jingmo noticed Tian Ruan's reaction and raised his hand to remove the small leaves that had stuck to his soft and fresh hair. "How did it get dirty?"
Tian Ruan: “…” How could it not be dirty to escape down the mountain by crawling?
"Are the shengjian (fried dumplings) outside better than those made by Aunt Liu?" Yu Jingmo asked again.
Tian Ruan looked at him in panic, "Why are you here?"
Yu Jingmo tried to give a gentle smile, but all he got was another shudder from Tian Ruan, as if he was extremely scared, "...Tangshui Lane is at the foot of the mountain."
"Impossible!" Tian Ruan took the bus to the last stop.
Yu Jingmo reached out his hand, and the bodyguard handed him a paper traffic map of Su City. "You've come back."
The map was placed in front of Tian Ruan, who lowered his head in amazement.
"Keep this map. You can walk around Su City later, but you are not allowed to go anywhere else without my permission."
Tian Ruan's scalp tingled. What Yu Jingmo meant was simply that there was no one in Su City that he couldn't find.
Yu Jingmo glanced at the greasy tabletop and condescended to tap Tian Ruan on the head, "Do you understand?"
Tian Ruan: “…I understand.” He couldn’t escape now.
Yu Jingmo picked up the last Shengjian in the small bamboo basket, tasted it, and commented: "It's not as good as what Liu Ma made. I'll go back and eat it."
Then Tian Ruan was carried into the Maybach like a little chicken. This might be Yu Jingmo's most low-key car.
When Tian Ruan was embarrassed, a small branch of osmanthus flowers fell out from under his shirt. He looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus with sorrow, but in the end he was unable to take it away...
"Can you open the window?" Tian Ruan asked in a low voice.
Yu Jingmo pressed the remote control, and all the windows opened. The slightly cool air rushed in, bringing with it the scent of withering of all things. Tian Ruan picked up the osmanthus flowers and scattered them in the wind.
"Fallen into mud and ground into dust, only the fragrance remains the same." Yu Jingmo suddenly recited this line of poetry, his voice low and gentle, without any emotion, but clearly with a hint of regret.
It was Tian Ruan who looked at him in surprise.
Yu Jingmo: "I'm very curious, what kind of image do I have in your eyes?"
Tian Ruan: “?”
Yu Jingmo: "A machine that doesn't understand romance and only knows how to make money?"
Tian Ruan recalled the original novel and nodded. The original novel did not give much description of Yu Jingmo, but whenever he appeared, he was always involved with money. In the business world, Yu Jingmo is a decisive, ruthless and unsympathetic person.
Even his feelings towards his adopted son are dull, let alone towards other people.
Yu Jingmo laughed angrily.
Tian Ruan started to tremble again, and tried to make excuses lamely: "No, you are still, you are still very kind."
At least in the original novel, even when Yu Jingmo's tolerance was challenged by Tian Yuan, he never thought of killing him to silence him. As the adoptive father of the protagonist, he must be a law-abiding good citizen. Yu Jingmo also has a foundation under his name that specifically helps orphans and left-behind children, and he donates real money every year.
Even if this kind of donation is just for business face, to gain the trust and favor of the government, and there is 99% calculation, but at least that 1% really helps a group of young children who have lost their fathers.
"Kind?" Yu Jingmo didn't expect him to use this word to describe himself. His eyes cooled down. "If you really think so, why did you run away?"
Tian Ruan: “…” There’s no way around it.
After returning to the manor, Yu Jingmo got out of the car first with his long legs, walked to the other door, and stretched out his hand to Tian Ruan.
Tian Ruan hesitantly extended her hand, but Yu Jingmo pulled it over, took out a string of sandalwood beads from his pocket, and put it on Tian Ruan's fair wrist, "Don't lose it again."
Tian Ruan nodded timidly, "Okay."
Yu Jingmo looked into his eyes and asked, "I'm not mean to you, am I?"
Tian Ruan shook his head.
"Then what are you afraid of?"
"..." It was hard for Tian Ruan not to be afraid. Yu Jingmo had never intended to take his life, but his life was not worth mentioning in this world. If he didn't try hard to save himself, he would die soon.
Yu Jingmo didn't say anything else. He told Liu Ma to make some shengjian for Tian Ruan, and then went to work.
Tian Ruan lowered her head and stroked the beads on her wrist, speechless.
"Look at you, you're as dirty as a little wild cat." Aunt Liu smiled and drove her away, "Go wash up quickly, the Shengjian will be ready soon."
The housekeeper had already picked up Tian Ruan's bag and went upstairs. No one asked Tian Ruan what had happened. They had no right to interfere in the master's affairs.
Tian Ruan went to wash up and went downstairs to eat. She had no appetite and it was as if she was going to a grave. Aunt Liu once suspected that she had put too much pepper in the food, which was why the lady had such a bitter face.
Aunt Liu secretly tasted a shengjian and found that the taste was the same.
Their wives had this look of despair throughout the entire day, especially after being taken away by the housekeeper to "relax".
The main content of the relaxation was that the housekeeper introduced Tian Ruan to the surveillance equipment of the manor and personally took him to check out various surveillance points, including the top of the wall not far from the osmanthus tree.
Tian Ruan: “…”
The butler is a well-dressed middle-aged man. Everyone calls him Butler Wang - a pun on the name. The butler's surname is Wang, and he is also the butler who represents the absolute royal power of the Yu family.
Yu Jingmo is the king of this family. No one dares to disobey his orders except Tian Ruan.
Housekeeper: "Madam is the first person that Mr. Yu personally arrested."
Tian Ruan: "...arrest?"
The housekeeper narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Sorry, I said the wrong thing, I personally invited you home."
Tian Ruan: The arrest is really a good image.
In the evening, Tian Ruan heard the sound of a car driving into the courtyard. He sat up from the sofa with a somersault, and the English book he used to pass the time fell to the ground from his waist.
Yu Jingmo had already strode in. Tian Ruan picked up the book guiltily, not daring to look at him.
It was not until dinner time that Yu Shang arrived and the "family" had dinner together. This scene doesn’t look like that of parents and son, but more like that of an elite eldest brother and his two unlucky younger brothers.
After dinner, Yu Shang and Yu Jingmo exchanged a few words as per the routine and then returned to their rooms. Yu Jingmo went to the study to deal with the rest of the work for the day.
Tian Ruan followed behind hesitantly, and when they reached the door of the study, Yu Jingmo turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
"...Talk to me after you're done." Tian Ruan turned and left.
Yu Jingmo continued with his work and was busy in the study until almost ten o'clock in the evening. He turned off the computer and went back to the bedroom to take a shower and go to bed. However, as soon as he entered the room, he saw a frail figure sitting on a small sofa, nodding her head. When she heard the sound of the door, she jumped up like a rabbit, and her pair of watery eyes looked over at him in panic.
Yu Jingmo paused, then asked calmly, "What are you doing in my room?"
"Waiting for you." Tian Ruan said in a low voice.
"Wait for me?" Yu Jingmo looked at him, "You want to sleep with me?"
Tian Ruan: “…………No!”
"Then what are you doing?" Yu Jingmo walked towards him, relying on his height advantage to look down at the handsome young man who came to him on his own initiative.
Tian Ruan was forced to shudder by the cold and mysterious handsome face. In order to reduce the oppressive feeling brought by the height, he stood up and said, "Mr. Yu, let's get a divorce."
