In summer in City C, noon in Dongshan is quiet and hot.
The air conditioner in the still messy room was turned on just right. The thick curtains blocked the sunlight outside the window, making it a little dim.
When I woke up, the people around me had left.
But that man's overbearing threat last night still rings in his ears, echoing endlessly, making people feel chills in their hearts.
Lin Ruoxi hugged the quilt and sat on the bed for a moment. After that, she got up and got down and opened the curtains.
The sun was so bright that she closed her eyes unconsciously. Her eyes were swollen from crying for a long time last night, and it was a bit troublesome to open them. Now that they were hit by the sun, the swelling and pain were unbearable.
It might be better to cool it with cold water.
Lin Ruoxi turned around and was about to go to the bathroom when the bedroom door opened gently from the outside.
A man in formal attire appeared there, wearing a suit and tie, as if he had just come off the negotiating table. Tang Hongxuan stroked the door handle with one hand, put a light yellow dress on his other forearm, and smiled at her
Laugh. "I thought you were going to sleep for a while." He said and closed the door behind him and entered the room.
Lin Ruoxi looked at him stunned for a moment, then subconsciously stepped back until her lower back was pressed against the window sill. Then she grabbed her clothes with both hands, her eyes were swollen, and she looked timidly, like a small animal.
Looking at him.
Tang Hongxuan couldn't laugh or cry.
He walked to the bed and put the skirt in his hand on the pillow. "Change your clothes and come out with me." After saying that, he pulled his tie and turned around and entered the cloakroom.
When changing clothes, Tang Hongxuan deliberately slowed down. But when he changed into casual clothes, took care of himself, and came out of the cloakroom, Lin Ruoxi was still standing in front of the window wearing his ill-fitting pajamas. And when he came in
The clothes placed on the bed were not moved at all.
He narrowed his black eyes, displeasure flashing through them. Then he stepped in front of her in two steps, blocking her with his tall body, trapping her in the gap between sizes, "Didn't I ask you to change clothes?"
Lin Ruoxi was silent.
"Don't like this?"
She neither admitted nor denied it, and remained silent.
After not seeing her voice for a long time, Tang Hongxuan glanced at the skirt on the bed, impatient and a little frustrated. He personally selected it from a bunch of new styles sent by his assistant. The style is simple but distinctive, and the bright yellow color should match it well.
Her complexion was fair and rosy. Even though it was just a whim, it was the first time in her life that she had personally chosen clothes for a woman.
He sighed and decided not to worry about such a trivial matter, "I'll ask them to come up and you can choose. By the way..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a weak voice, "I want to go back to school." It was very small, a bit like a mosquito humming, but he still heard it clearly.
Tang Hongxuan's eyes flashed, he frowned and said, his voice already somewhat cold, "I didn't hear clearly what you said."
"I want to go back to school." She repeated with lowered eyes, then mustered up the courage to raise her eyes and meet his gaze.
The man's eyes were already sharp, but now they were even more gloomy. As soon as Lin Ruoxi made contact, she felt a chill coming over her head, and it was cold to her heart.
Unconsciously, his thin body trembled. But he still bit his lip and raised his head slightly, refusing to compromise. His watery eyes were bright, and there was unconcealable fear in them, but more importantly, he was stubborn.
Tang Hongxuan looked at her red and swollen eyes like small walnuts. His heart softened and his expression softened a lot. After a while, he softened his voice and said, "It's Saturday, why are you in a hurry to go back? I'll take care of you in the afternoon."
Can you please take a walk around?" It sounded like he was asking for advice, but his tone was overbearing and arrogant, with no intention of discussion.
Lin Ruoxi's lips moved and she muttered, "I have something to do this afternoon."
"Going to work?" Tang Hongxuan chuckled, "I've already resigned for you."
"You..." She opened her eyes wide and stared at him fiercely. This news was absolutely like a bolt from the blue to her. It was almost July, and her tuition fees for the next semester had not yet been paid. Medical tuition fees were already on the low side.
Expensive. It was so easy to find a job that paid well and earn a living, but he just resigned!
Lin Ruoxi's little face turned red from suppressing it. Lin Ruoxi was anxious and angry, and her head was spinning. "Why are you like this! Who am I, and why do you decide my affairs!?"
Tang Hongxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "I thought you knew it very well last night." He pinched her chin hard, his thin lips were slightly hooked, and his smile was a little cold, "Next time, don't let me hear similar words again. Remember,
I'm your man!" He let her go, "Change your clothes and I'll take you back to school!"
Angrily, he tossed his sleeves and turned around to leave. When he reached the door, he stopped again, turned his back to her and added, "I'll give you 10 minutes, I'll wait for you downstairs!" After that, he opened the door and slammed it.
went up, causing the whole room to tremble.
The black Land Rover was racing at high speeds, and its superior performance was brought into full play.
The atmosphere inside the car was depressingly quiet.
On the way back to school, Tang Hongxuan pursed his lips without saying a word, with a cold face, looking intently at the road ahead and concentrating on driving his car.
He didn't speak, so Lin Ruoxi naturally wouldn't take the initiative to speak to him. She just sat in the passenger seat obediently, staring at her hands folded on her knees with her eyes downcast.
She had nothing to say to Tang Hongxuan, and she was even less willing to say anything to him. Moreover, this man was overbearing, arrogant, and moody. It was not easy for her to agree to let her go back to school. She was really afraid that if she said something wrong, she would encounter his rebellion.
scales, and got into bad luck again.
As the car drove into the city, the man's complexion finally improved.
Tang Hongxuan glanced sideways and glanced at the woman sitting quietly next to her with her head lowered, and her eyes softened a lot.
Lin Ruoxi was wearing the dress he had personally selected. It was made of thin gauze material and had layers of pleats on the chest, making it even more light on her slender body. The bright yellow color made her skin look like
Jade, pure and lovely, becomes more and more pitiful.
His thin lips were slightly hooked, and there was a faint smile on his handsome face. Tang Hongxuan was extremely narcissistic and praised his own vision in his heart. He just said, this dress will definitely look good on her, and it makes him want to
The urge to immediately throw her under you and tear it apart piece by piece.
His throat tightened, and his body suddenly felt a fiery restlessness.
He coughed and gritted his teeth to suppress the urge.
The gate of M University finally appeared in sight. Tang Hongxuan turned the steering wheel, as if venting his anger, and stepped on the brakes hard.
The black car drew a graceful arc and stopped steadily on the side of the road.
Lin Ruoxi took a breath and turned around to say thank you to Tang Hongxuan and get out of the car, but her eyes ran into his dark eyes. She was startled and lowered her eyes in panic.
A smile flashed in Tang Hongxuan's eyes, and then he said with a smile: "We're here, why don't you get off the car? Are you going to stay with me?" As he spoke, he took her little hand and rubbed it affectionately in his palm.
Lin Ruoxi quickly dodged and retracted her arm, shook his palm away, and then said weakly: "No, thank you for sending me back." She looked like a standard irritated little daughter-in-law, but her whole body was full of...
He couldn't hide his alienation and vigilance, "I'm leaving." He turned around and reached for the car door.
"Wait." A deep voice sounded, and Tang Hongxuan grabbed her other wrist.
Her frail body trembled, and Lin Ruoxi turned her head stiffly, holding her breath and looking at him, her vigilant eyes filled with fear. She seemed to be trying her best to control herself in order to remain calm.
He acted as if he hadn't seen her reaction, and just said softly, "I'm going to Los Angeles early tomorrow morning." He raised the corners of his lips and smiled gently, "It will take at least half a month before I can come back."
Lin Ruoxi frowned slightly, and doubts flashed across her face. She was thinking, 'Why is he telling me this?', but she still said politely, "Oh, then I wish you a safe journey."
Tang Hongxuan snorted, dumbfounded, "Little girl, how can you say 'bon voyage' to people flying on a plane!"
"Oh, then I wish you a safe journey and a speedy return."
Her 'come back soon' made him feel good, so the lines on his cold face became softer, and his always sharp eyes became gentle, "Remember to miss me." He pulled the soft, boneless hand to his lips and gently said, "Remember to miss me."
He kissed her once and put it down before she could struggle.
"Take your things." As she spoke, a pink wallet was thrust into her hand.
Lin Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, bit her lip. Then she raised her eyes and looked directly into his eyes, and said solemnly: "Thank you." After all, she was grateful for her hard-earned money.
"Okay, go back."
"I'm leaving." After saying that, he opened the car door without hesitation and quickly ran to the school gate.
