Seeing that Ruyi didn't speak, Jiang Yuanxiu felt a little awkward. Seeing such a familiar face in front of him, Jiang Yuanxiu felt like he was back to yesterday, like he was back to his days in the United States.
"I'm fine."
Ruyi said in a low voice, as if she was speaking to herself.
Jiang Yuanxiu looked at Ruyi who couldn't let go, and felt a little anxious. Could it be that after so many years of relationship, he couldn't even exchange for a considerate word?
"Ruyi, are you free tonight? I want to have dinner with you, is that okay?"
Jiang Yuanxiu actually has no other intentions. They haven't seen each other for so long. Jiang Yuanxiu has a lot of things in his heart that he wants to say to Ruyi. Jiang Yuanxiu is afraid that if he doesn't say it now, there will be even fewer opportunities to meet in the future.
Ruyi didn't know how to answer. What would Lu Sen think if she found out about having dinner with Jiang Yuanxiu?
But this doesn't seem to be a bad thing. If Lu Sen knew about it, he would definitely be jealous, and by then, he would no longer be separated from her.
Besides, Ruyi really wanted to know Jiang Yuanxiu's recent situation. This man had been in her heart for so long, and now she finally had the chance to meet him. Ruyi really didn't want to miss it.
Seeing that Ruyi didn't say anything, Jiang Yuanxiu became a little anxious. Didn't Ruyi even want to leave him some time for a meal?
"As you wish, just one dinner, okay?"
Jiang Yuanxiu's tone was almost pleading. Under such circumstances, Ruyi couldn't refuse.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Ruyi pretended to answer calmly, but actually when she said this, her palms were covered in cold sweat.
When Jiang Yuanxiu heard that Ruyi agreed, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. Jiang Shanshan next to him also breathed a sigh of relief. The matter between these two people had been kept in his heart, making others uncomfortable to watch.
"Brother, Ruyi, you two go, I'll go back first, Ruyi, remember not to be late tomorrow!"
Jiang Shanshan patted Ruyi on the shoulder, as if telling her to relax. Ruyi knew that this matter must be related to Jiang Shanshan, but Ruyi did not blame her at all.
In this world, the only person who truly understands her is Jiang Shanshan. The matter of Jiang Yuanxiu has been pressing in her heart for too long. If she can no longer express it, Ruyi will never be completely happy.
Ruyi is even a little grateful to Jiang Shanshan now. She has always wanted to have such an opportunity, but she never had the courage.
"Get in the car, wishful thinking."
Jiang Yuanxiu was the same gentleman as usual and opened the car door for Ruyi. Seeing this scene, Ruyi's thoughts seemed to go back to a few years ago.
Jiang Yuanxiu took Ruyi to a Chinese restaurant. Jiang Yuanxiu knew that Ruyi was not used to eating anything except Chinese food. For so many years in the United States, Jiang Yuanxiu always hired Chinese chefs to cook at home.
"Mr. Jiang, here you go again, are you still the same today?"
When the owner of the Chinese restaurant saw Jiang Yuanxiu coming, he immediately came out with a flattering smile on his face.
"Yeah, same old thing."
Jiang Yuanxiu took Ruyi to a private room, just the two of them. Jiang Yuanxiu finally found something out today.
"Do you come often?"
Ruyi asked Jiang Yuanxiu. Looking at the decoration in the private room, it was Ruyi's favorite medieval style. Ruyi remembered that Jiang Yuanxiu had said that he must build a house like this for Ruyi in the future.
"Well, I come here often. After you are no longer with me, I will come here by myself. I think you will like it here, do you like it?"
Jiang Yuanxiu looked at Ruyi tenderly, the tenderness in his eyes seemed to drown Ruyi.
Ruyi didn't dare to look into Jiang Yuanxiu's eyes. There was always something about this man that Ruyi could never forget.
"Yes, I like it."
Ruyi said calmly.
"Ruyi, how is the baby? I wanted to see you that day, but I heard from Shanshan that you were born prematurely. How is your recovery now?"
Jiang Yuanxiu took a sip of tea and asked Ruyi.
"It's pretty good. I've fully recovered."
Ruyi hasn't raised his head yet. In fact, Jiang Yuanxiu was in the hospital that day. When Ruyi gave birth, Lu Sen was not the only one who was with him. The doctor who performed the surgery on Ruyi was personally arranged by Jiang Yuanxiu. Ruyi didn't know about this. From Jiang Yuanxiu's point of view,
, she doesn’t need to know, as long as she is healthy and safe, that’s fine.
"Ruyi, actually I have a lot to say to you, but I have never had the courage or opportunity. Ever since you suddenly appeared during my last wedding ceremony, my heart has been completely messed up. I have been running away from you for so many years.
, to escape a life without you, I was in a hurry to get married, to find someone to replace you, to give me a child like a baby. I thought I could do it easily, but I didn’t know it until the moment you appeared.
, you are in my heart and no one can replace you, do you understand Ruyi?"
Jiang Yuanxiu suddenly held Ruyi's hand, which made Ruyi a little overwhelmed. Although Ruyi had almost the same thoughts as Jiang Yuanxiu, Ruyi still couldn't do this because there was still Lu Sen in her heart.
"No, Yuan Xiu, don't do this."
Ruyi broke away from Jiang Yuanxiu's hand and shrank back like a frightened little rabbit. She still didn't dare to look into Jiang Yuanxiu's eyes. Ruyi was afraid that this look would make her confused.
Jiang Yuanxiu realized that he had lost his composure, bit his lip, and took a sip of tea. From his expression, you could see the disappointment that was difficult to conceal.
"Ruyi, I have always understood for so many years that the person you truly love is Lucen. I never knew what it meant to win someone's love. I always thought that letting you come back to Lucen is the only way to truly love you.
I'm good to you, but it wasn't until you appeared in front of me at the last wedding that I realized, Ruyi, you actually love me too, right?"
Jiang Yuanxiu looked at Ruyi, as if he wanted to see through Ruyi's heart. In fact, Jiang Yuanxiu understood that the feelings he had for so many years were not just air, and Ruyi must be able to feel it.
"Look at me, Ruyi, tell me if what I said is true?"
Facing Jiang Yuanxiu's pressing pressure, Ruyi had no way out. Even if she could deceive others, she could never deceive herself.
"Yes, I admit that when I saw you getting married, I was a little bit sad, but what can I do? I am Lu Sen's wife now, and we should not be together in the first place, right?
?You now have a girlfriend, I now have two children, and there is no way out for us."
Ruyi's somewhat desperate voice frightened Jiang Yuanxiu. Why do two people have to separate before they know that they still love each other?
"Ruyi, we will definitely find a way, believe me, okay? As long as you still want to be with me, I will definitely marry you, believe me, okay?"
Jiang Yuanxiu seems to have the courage again now. He originally wanted to tell Ruyi that he was getting married, but now things have progressed in another direction.
Ruyi's heart was trembling, but she still pretended to be calm and looked at Jiang Yuanxiu.
"Yuan Xiu, don't bother. It's impossible for us. I love you. That was a thing of the past. Now I just want to live a good life with Lu Sen. I met your girlfriend that day. She is very good.
, it’s beautiful, you two are really suitable for each other, you should have your own new life, I’m just a passer-by in your life, forget me.”
After Ruyi said this, she held back her tears and turned her head away. Looking at Ruyi like this, Jiang Yuanxiu felt unspeakably sad in his heart.
"Ruyi, why are we like this now? Can you really forget me? Can you really forget our past?"
