Chapter 6: Being So Cowardly and Running Out Alone
"No." Jiang Ruoxi shook her head. Did he see anything?
"I'll give you a chance to say it, but if you don't say it, forget it, but don't tell me that I won't give you a chance." Leng Yan said lightly and sat down on the sofa nearby.
Jiang Ruoxi hesitated for a few seconds, "You seem to be very busy with work. Well, can I return to China early?"
"Others are fine, no need to discuss this." Leng Yan refused without even looking at her.
If she had known this would be the result, forget it, anyway, she could only stay here resigned to her fate until he was done with his work and until he returned to China.
Uncle Gui sent someone to bring dinner, but Jiang Ruoxi was so angry that she didn't eat a bite and went into the bedroom alone.
Leng Yan didn't force her. This woman was not only ignorant, but also willful. She had agreed to honeymoon in the United States, but she didn't even arrive for a week before she went back. At least, he would use this time to deal with all the things he had to deal with.
For more than a week, Leng Yan went to the company most of the time, occasionally making phone calls in the study, or just sitting on the sofa. Jiang Ruoxi could only stay in the hotel every day, almost always in a daze in the room, except for the occasional coffee break.
Play the piano in the hall.
During afternoon tea time, Jiang Ruoxi sat in the coffee shop and took a sip of juice. She still supported her chin with her hands and looked out the window. Her face was full of sadness and boredom. It was really boring. But that hateful man didn't have any trace of it.
I want to go back.
Seeing that it was still early, Jiang Ruoxi looked around with her bright eyes. The uncle who followed her from time to time was not here today. He must have been busy with something. He suddenly stood up, picked up his handbag, and left.
Cafe.
Standing at the door of the hotel, a taxi stopped in front of her after a while. Jiang Ruoxi hesitated and got into the car.
When they arrived in the city, Jiang Ruoxi opened her wallet and found that she didn't have much money, just enough to pay for the car.
I got out of the car and stood on an unfamiliar street, looking at the street scene that was different from that in China. Now that I was out, I didn’t care about anything else and strolled down the street with a sweet smile on my face.
In the urban park, couples hugged each other and kissed passionately. Jiang Ruoxi was not used to the openness of Americans.
Walking along the riverside avenue, enjoying the slightly cool wind, I felt tired, so I sat on a bench nearby.
As the sky gradually darkened, Jiang Ruoxi became a little worried and took out the mobile phone in her bag, only to find that the phone was out of battery. What's more, she didn't know his number.
Leng Yan was sitting in the lobby of the hotel with a stern look on his face. At this time, a middle-aged man came over and said, "Master, we have searched the entire hotel, but we have not found the eldest mistress."
"Keep looking!" Leng Yan's voice was cold, with unconcealable anger on his face, "I asked you to look at Ruoxi, what did you do?"
He just went to the company for a meeting and wouldn't see her when he came back. She was here with no one she knew, so where would she go?
"I'm sorry, Master." Uncle Gui lowered his head. He just went to call the Master. Unexpectedly, the eldest young lady disappeared.
Leng Yan had a stern face, "Is it useful to tell me you're sorry? Find someone quickly! If you can't find her again and miss your flight, I'll see how you explain it to me."
"Master, we checked the surveillance and saw that the young lady got into a taxi and left the hotel." The hotel manager came over and said tremblingly.
Leng Yan suddenly stood up and walked out of the hotel.
"Master!" Uncle Gui quickly followed.
"You don't have to follow me, help me find out where Ruoxi took a taxi." After saying that, he drove away quickly.
Uncle Gui watched the car drive out of sight, and then he sweated. It seemed that the young master still cared about the young mistress, and he had an explanation for the master when he returned home.
Jiang Ruoxi was sitting on a bench by the river, looking at the neon lights, pouting, how was she going to go back now? There was no possibility of even walking back, because she didn't know the road at all.
Jiang Ruoxi stood up and looked around, unable to tell the difference between north, south, east, and west, but she couldn't stay here all night? If he couldn't find her, would he come to find her? He would definitely not! There are so many of them.
She didn't say more than ten words during the week, so why would he be worried about her?
She shook her head vigorously, not thinking about him, and walked to the other side. The cold wind blowing from the riverside made her rub her arms vigorously, and then breathed into her palms, "It's really cold at night."
Suddenly a car stopped beside her, "Beauty, are you alone? Do you want me to take you off?" The car window was rolled down, and a black man with a crew cut whistled and greeted her.
Jiang Ruoxi stepped back and shook her head hastily, "No need, thank you!" She said and walked away quickly.
Jiang Ruoxi had only taken two steps, and her slender arm had already been grabbed, "Don't be like this! I drive, so it's easy to give people away." The man said with a smile, showing his white teeth.
"No need! Let me go!" Jiang Ruoxi kept struggling, but he scratched her hard and it hurt.
"Let's go!" Jiang Ruoxi was pulled to the car by the man. Before she got in the car, a black Mercedes-Benz RV stopped.
"Let her go!" Leng Yan said to the man in a cold voice, but his eyes looked at Jiang Ruoxi. Her eyes were filled with tears and there was fear on her face.
The black man looked at Leng Yan who got out of the car, with such anger on his face that he let go of Jiang Ruoxi's hand, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Then he immediately left, got into the car, and sped away.
Jiang Ruoxi looked at Leng Yan. He was still here. Did he come to see her specially?
"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Leng Yan took a step forward, walked up to her, and reached out to stroke her black hair.
Jiang Ruoxi blinked, and two lines of tears slid down her cheeks.
"Why are you crying?" Leng Yan suddenly said softly.
"I thought you wouldn't come to me. I thought I was going to spend the night alone on the road tonight. I thought..." Jiang Ruoxi sobbed.
Leng Yan hugged her into his arms, "You are so timid and you run out alone."
Jiang Ruoxi leaned on his chest. After a long time, she raised her head and said, "It's not because of you that I ran out alone."
Leng Yan looked at her and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Really? I am here to save you out of kindness. If you don't thank me, forget it. Instead, blame me."
Jiang Ruoxi broke away from his arms and wiped the tears from her cheeks, "How did you know I was here?"
"It's not important, let's go!" Leng Yan opened the car door, "Please! Miss Jiang family."
Jiang Ruoxi got into the car and turned her head away from him, just looking at the scenery passing by outside the window.
Leng Yan didn't speak, he just drove the car intently.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the hotel. Jiang Ruoxi opened the door and got out of the car. Leng Yan also got out of the car and followed Jiang Ruoxi, "I'll give you thirty minutes to pack your luggage. Is that enough?"
