The first thing Ruotong reacted to was to run away.
She didn't have anything to take away, so she left the villa in Pudong alone. She first went back to her apartment to collect a few sets of clothes, and then rushed to Gao's house. When they parted, Gao Yize gave her the key. He said,
You can enter the Gao family at any time.
The Long family and her apartment are both dangerous places, and Ao Rui will definitely find her. The only place she can think of is the Gao family, and with Gao Yize's protection, she feels more at ease.
When Gao Yize came home from work in the evening, he smelled the aroma of food far outside the door. Was it his imagination? There was obviously no one at home? Then, he suddenly remembered saying goodbye to Ruotong this morning.
At that time, I gave her one of the keys. She must be right.
When he thought of this possibility, he hurried into the house. Sure enough, he saw a familiar face. Ruotong had just walked out of the kitchen. She was wearing a floral apron, and her quiet and comfortable look looked like a virtuous wife. At that moment
, she made his heart beat. If he could see her waiting for him like this every day when he went home, what a happy thing it would be!
"When did you come here?" Gao Yize stood at the door, his eyes still closely following her beautiful and slender figure.
"Morning." Ruotong answered without hesitation, and then said to him with a smile: "Go wash your hands, the food is ready."
"By the way," Gao Yize's expression changed from joy to eagerness and anticipation. "How did you and your fiancé break up?" He was eager to hear the answer that they had completely broken up.
When it came to Ao Rui's refusal to let her go, Ruotong's beautiful little face looked sad. "He refused to end things with me."
Gao Yize's hope was shattered. "Why?"
Thinking of her humiliation by Ao Rui this morning, Ruotong's face instantly turned red. She lowered her head, avoiding Gao Yize's eyes, and said softly: "I don't know why."
At that moment, Gao Yize's mind went blank. Then, he dropped his briefcase and walked towards Ruotong, saying softly: "Ruotong, are you willing to live in Canada with me?"
What? Ruotong looked up at him in shock. "But didn't your father leave the branch in China to you?"
"This is not a problem. If I really want to leave, my father will definitely understand me, and the group will choose another ambitious person in charge." Gao Yize's eyes were as gentle as water, and there was also urgent expectation in them.
"But..." What emerged in Ruotong's heart at this moment was not hesitation, but reluctance, strong reluctance...
The tenderness in Gao Yize's eyes disappeared. "Don't you want to let him go?" This made him heartbroken.
Ruotong lowered his gaze, unable to answer his question.
"You have come this far now, do you still hope to go back and cause another tragedy?" Gao Yize asked.
To create another tragedy? Thinking of Ao Zhongming who might still be unconscious in the hospital, Ruotong's heart ached.
"Ruotong, even if President Ao knows your true identity, everything you have ever done, you almost put him in the hospital, do you think he will easily forgive you and let you marry into the Ao family?" Gao Yize stared at Ruotong.
Tong, said something even more hurtful.
Ruotong lowered her head, as if there were thousands of troops galloping in her heart. Her heart was so confused and painful.
"Ruotong, even if Ao Rui likes you a little, if there is no future between you, why do you continue? Well, even if you can get married, what about your future children? None of them can get Ao Zhongming.
Children who are approved of her, what fun can there be between you?" Gao Yize tried his best to convince her that he did not want Ruotong to return to Ao Rui.
Ruotong covered her ears and shouted to Gao Yize in pain: "Yize, don't say it anymore, I beg you, please don't say it anymore." Every word Gao Yize said was like a sharp needle piercing her heart unceremoniously.
"Okay, I won't tell you. I can give you time to think about it." Seeing her in such pain, Gao Yize didn't want to provoke her anymore.
Ruotong slowly took off the hand on his ear and said coldly to Gao Yize: "Yize, I'm sorry, I'm a little uncomfortable. You can eat by yourself. I'll go back to the room to rest first."
After saying that, without waiting for Gao Yize's consent, she turned around and went upstairs.
Looking at that brisk and slender back, Gao Yize's face was as dark as dusk.
Ruotong returned to the guest room where she slept last night, closed the door, dragged heavy steps to the bed, and then lay down quietly on the bed.
What Gao Yize said makes sense. If she continues to stay with Ao Rui, she will only bring one tragedy after another to Ao Zhongming. Moreover, her confrontation with Ao Zhongming and the things that now put him in the hospital
, it is impossible to erase her because she is Ao Rui's fiancée. He was originally opposed to Ao Rui marrying a woman other than Wen Wanke, and now it is even more impossible to accept her and Ao Rui being together.
Everything is her fault! Her decision to devote herself to Ao Rui was so wrong. However, she still wants to know whether Ao Rui has ever been sincere to her when pursuing her, and whether he has ever liked her.
Even a little attention from herself is her extravagant wish.
She lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and let her tears fall.
Gao Yize didn't eat either. He sat on the sofa and let time pass by silently.
It was not until nine o'clock in the evening that he finally got up from the sofa and walked upstairs with heavy steps. He came to the guest room where Ruotong slept and knocked quietly on the door. "Ruotong, can you come out and open the door?"
Ruotong actually heard his voice, but she didn't want to see him now, she didn't want to see anyone.
"Ruotong, can you come out and open the door? I have something to say to you." Gao Yize called her softly again and continued to knock on the door.
Ruotong had no choice but to get up from the bed and open the door. When she opened the door, she saw Gao Yize, who was not much better than her.
Seeing her red and swollen eyes, Gao Yize knew that she had cried. It seemed that she really couldn't let go of Ao Rui! Jealousy made him painful. "I will take you out to eat." He requested softly.
"No, I'm not hungry." Ruotong lowered his head and declined politely.
"A few days ago, my client and I went to a seaside restaurant to eat seafood. I felt it was very atmospheric. Not only could you taste fresh seafood, but you could also enjoy the beautiful sea view at night," Gao Yize stared at her tenderly and begged her softly.
: "Come out with me to relax, and don't let me worry about you anymore, okay?"
Even if Ruotong no longer wanted to accept his suggestion, her heart softened because of his last words.
"Let's go." After saying that, Gao Yize pulled Ruotong away.
Ruotong did not resist and allowed Gao Yize to take her into the car.
Because both of them were in heavy moods, neither of them spoke during the car ride.
It wasn't until they arrived at the restaurant on the beach that the two began to break the silence. The restaurant was open-air, very spacious, and bustling. From any location, you could enjoy the beautiful night view of the seaside.
The temperature at the beach varies greatly between morning and evening. Ruotong didn't bring a coat when she went out, so she shrank from the cold. Upon seeing this, Gao Yize took off his suit jacket and put it on her shoulders like a gentleman, and thoughtfully said: "Put it on first
My coat, it won’t be so cold when we eat later.”
This action reminded Ruotong of the same thing Ao Rui did to her on the mountain last night. The smell and smell exuded by this coat were completely different from Ao Rui's. What she missed the most was still Ao Rui.
the breath.
She was immersed in every moment of Ao Rui's time together, selfishly forgetting everyone, including Gao Yize.
She still couldn't react until the waiter reminded her to order.
"Ruotong..." Gao Yize called her twice before she woke up. Then she immediately realized that it was time to order the menu. She hurriedly looked down at the menu and ordered a few dishes at random.
Gao Yize was very enthusiastic at the table and kept letting her taste the various dishes he ordered. But no matter how delicious the seafood was and how beautiful the sea view was at night, she was not in the mood to taste and appreciate it. She just casually dealt with Gao Yize,
She chewed the things on the table indifferently. She was thinking about Ao Rui, but she was melancholy about her and Ao Rui's precarious future...
After tasting the seafood, Gao Yize suggested taking Ruotong for a walk on the beach, but Ruotong did not refuse.
"Is it cold?" Gao Yize walked side by side with her on the soft beach and asked her softly and considerately.
"No." Ruotong smiled bitterly.
"Do you still remember the fun story about how we often picked up shells at the beach when we were children?" Gao Yize asked.
"Yes, remember." Ruotong replied softly.
"I still remember that when you were a child, you liked to wash the shells you picked up from the beach one by one, and then hang them in the room. Do you still have this habit now?" Gao Yize asked.
Ruotong was about to answer Gao Yize's question when he suddenly saw two familiar men and women appearing in front of him. They were holding hands and smiling particularly sweetly.
Her face suddenly turned pale. The world is really small, and you can meet Guo Zheming anywhere. His appearance reminded her of the obscene things he did to her at the last cocktail party. Humiliation flooded into her heart,
It made her feel embarrassed.
Then, Guo Zheming and Li Hejing also saw her at the same time, and their footsteps stopped. Through the moonlight, Ruotong saw the same pride and contempt as before on Li Hejing's face, while Guo Zheming's face didn't have much expression, but
Those eyes were as bright as wild beasts in the dark night.
Li Hejing also looked at Ruotong and found that Ruotong was not wearing makeup tonight, and her bare face was shockingly beautiful. Her sadness made her look pitiful, and she also had a softness that made me feel pity for her.
However, Li Hejing would not be deceived by this woman's appearance. Then, she glanced at the man next to Ruotong and said sarcastic words to humiliate Ruotong: "Hey, isn't this Monroe? Now the sponsor has changed again.
