C185 (1/2)
Shen Liangxia's words clearly revealed that she had recovered her memories, but the expression on Rong Qing's face was very calm.
”Is there nothing to say?” Shen Liangxia looked at him and complained.
Rong En handed over a cup of water. He took a sip of tea and said, ”It should be said.”
The white clouds outside the window blocked out the sunlight, and the sky seemed to darken. Rong En lowered his head, not even bothering to look at Shen Liangxia, he slowly said: ”I have indeed lied to you, there is nothing much to explain.”
Shen Liangxia looked at him in surprise, not expecting him to be so straightforward with his confession.
”Saving you was unintentional, but lying to you was intentional. Back then, I was only using you and the child in your stomach as a pawn.”
It was just that he did not expect that nothing in the world was absolute. In this world, things would not go according to one's plan, because there were too many unknowns and too many irresistibles.
He never expected that he would develop feelings for a chess piece, and that Shen Liangxia's personality would be so strong and difficult to handle. Even more so, he never expected that Xiao Yan's enthusiasm would appear in the Rong family, and Shen Liangxia followed him without even recovering her memories.
He looked up at the astonished Shen Liangxia and asked, ”Do you hate me?”
She loved and hated people that were distinct, so how could she tolerate others lying to her? In the past, she would always compare notes with him because of a small matter, let alone such a big matter.
He took something out of his pocket and placed it in front of Shen Liangxia.
Shen Liangxia wasn't very good at this, but she was still able to understand what was written on it with a single glance. This thing gave her a very familiar feeling, and as she gently stroked it, her heart suddenly felt filled with a sense of fullness.
Her every movement was noticed by the other, and a deep sense of defeat rose up in his heart at the sight of her in this state.
”This item was originally hung on your body. I've always kept it.”
He purposely didn't want to give it to her. There were even a few times when he wanted to smash it, but he didn't do it until later. As for why, it was only later on that he understood.
However, it was because he cared that he avoided shooting at them.
”Actually, you should be resenting me. If it wasn't for me, or you and Xiao Ming being so passionate, we would have reunited a long time ago.”
In fact, he wasn't as relaxed as he appeared. After he said those words, he was like a sinner awaiting trial, unsettled in his heart.
He didn't want to fight for anything anymore. He wouldn't make the same mistake again after making the same mistake again. Grandpa was right, it was yours, so of course he would fight for it.
However, he still had that thought in his heart. He didn't wish for Shen Liangxia to hate him. After all, this was a woman that he had truly fallen for.
”I …”
”I'm late.”
The door of the box was pushed open, and those who should not have been here suddenly appeared. Xiao Bu Dian smiled cordially and greeted Rong En, hung his suit on Shen Liangxia's back, and extended his hand to hold her shoulders. He said gently: ”I came here as soon as I received your call, but I didn't think that there would be a traffic jam on the road. Don't blame me, darling.”
”Huh …” Shen Liangxia was dead. She shook off the goosebumps all over her body and looked at the old man's performance in disdain. She truly didn't want to cooperate with Ye Zichen's words.
”It's fine as long as you're here. Let's wait a bit longer then.”
Shen Liangxia's words startled her. This tone was a bit too much for an old man and his wife.
Xiao Bu Dian was about to speak passionately, but his gaze landed on her hand: ”I thought I lost it. When did I find it?”
What, jade pendant? Shen Liangxia looked at him and saw that there was no change in his expression. She honestly said, ”I took it from him, then he remembered to give it to me.”
Xiao Bu Dian narrowed his eyes passionately. His first impression was that Shen Liangxia was going to cover for someone else and he was worried about him. It's not like he was going to eat that person up.
As he thought of this, he bent down. Just as Shen Liangxia thought that he was about to do something, he took the jade pendant and tied it to Shen Liangxia's neck. He took the opportunity to bite Shen Liangxia's ear after tying her up.
It was a very intimate contact, a very shameless action.
He looked at Joun in a provocative manner. ”Childish!” he said sarcastically.
Shen Liang Xia really wanted to spit the tea in front of her onto Xiao Yue's zealous face.
This old man is really a bastard from beginning to end. Shen Liangxia clenched her teeth and smiled with some difficulty. Fortunately, the orders came one after another, which eased the awkwardness in front of her eyes.
Xiao Bu Dian took a seat beside her. Shen Liangxia finally remembered her original intention for coming here. She looked at Rong En and asked, ”Why did Old Man Rong want to invite you back so quickly? Did something happen?”
Xiao Bu Dian raised his eyebrows and his mood inexplicably improved a lot.
Rong En sighed lightly, looking at Shen Liangxia with a defeated look in his eyes.
”Nothing much, it's all over now.”
The reason he said this was because he didn't want to talk about it anymore. He was such a prideful person, how could he be good at complaining to others? Even if he had had the slightest thought in the past, now, he had completely lost it.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Shen Liangxia really didn't care about him. It was just like how, at this moment, she probably didn't realize that she had already given Xiao Ming a few dishes, each time naturally, without any traces of performance. In the past, when she was at the Rong family's residence, she could only reluctantly remember that he liked light food.
The meal was uneventful, and there was even a brief break. Seeing the two of them showing their love, Rong En was already at a loss for words.
After putting down the utensils, Rong En no longer bothered with whether Shen Liangxia hated him or not. However, when he saw Xiao Yan's expression of pride that could not be concealed, he cleared his throat and said to Shen Liangxia: ”After the child is born, do you recognize me as your godfather?”
It was a perfect counterattack, but this kid almost called him daddy.
Sure enough, the smile on Xiao Bu Dian's face could not be hung. However, he was still holding on and did not want to lose. Just as he was thinking about what to say, Shen Liang Xia spoke up first: ”No way.”
She pointed at Xiao Ming and said, ”He is narrow-minded and will be jealous.”
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Shen Liangxia continued: ”But after the child is born, you must make a big red packet. After all, he stayed in your house for so long.”
Rong En shook his head, forcing himself to smile. ”On what basis? I am the savior of both of you. Not only did you not want to repay me, you even wanted a red packet from me.”
”Because the two of us treat you as a friend.”
He did understand that she might not have hated him at all, but there really was a great distance between the two of them, not in origin or family, just because she didn't love him, and because the distance between their hearts was too great.
The last words that Jung En said to Shen Liangxia were, ”Live well.”
He left before Shen Liangxia, and since he had already decided to let go, he wouldn't keep looking at her, not even with her back.
The dark clouds dispersed, the sun came out, and the sky was clear and bright again.
Watching Jung's car leave, Shen Liangxia sniffed.
”What's wrong? Couldn't bear to part with it? Do you want to go and chase them? ”
Xiao Ming was no longer as courteous and gentle as before. He frowned as he looked at her. The jealousy in his eyes was so strong that it seemed to cover the entire sky.
Shen Liangxia gave a big supercilious look towards the sky, not even bothering to answer him as she turned to leave.
The four Vajra had already driven the car over, waiting for her to get in.
Xiao Bu Dian took a few steps forward and held the woman's hand, stopping her from leaving: ”Why didn't you answer me?”
His expression was very depressed. He felt that Shen Liangxia was reluctant to part with the other man, but she actually rolled her eyes at him.
Shen Liangxia: ”Hur Hur!” I don't want to talk to you.
What was she doing now, because she had just met with Jung En, so she had come close to him. Why did she do this, why did she continue to do this? Why did she continue to be so cold, why did she continue to be so arrogant?
Shen Liangxia got off from him and got into the car. However, the moment she got in, Xiao Bu Dian immediately squeezed up to her.
Her hand was grabbed again, not giving her a chance to struggle free.
”Liangxia, baby, daughter-in-law, wife, virtuous wife …”
The old man became a fool, and waved his tail in a daze, not caring about the others.
Shen Liangxia quivered in protest, ”Don't scream, it's so annoying.”
Don't think that she didn't notice that King Kong, who was driving in front, was shaking his shoulders.
It was childish, sure enough, and Jon was right.
”You promise? If you don't get angry, I won't scream.” Mr. Xiao used the snake to hit the snake with the stick.
”I'm angry, am I angry? Mister Xiao, did you make a mistake?”
Who was the one who was angry? He had never seen such a shameless person, yet he still dared to strike back at him.
