Chapter 28 Détente

He slowly put the phone on the desk. He didn't take the cup in her hand, but just looked at her. What was she going to do? Win his heart?

"Put it there." He gestured, ignoring the tenderness in her eyes.

Ruoxue was a little frustrated. She didn't think too much, she just wanted to take care of him, but he didn't seem to appreciate it. Forget it, let's go.

She thought this and turned around to leave.

"Wait a minute." He suddenly stopped her.

Ruoxue turned around and looked at him. He was wearing pure white pajamas, with the collar open, revealing his strong chest. She blushed and didn't dare to look any more, turning her eyes to the side.

"Come here." He waved to her.

Ruoxue timidly walked to him, expecting that he would pull her over and treat her with a storm, but unexpectedly, he gently pressed her onto the chair, and he pulled the other person over.

He opened a chair, sat down, and the two of them sat facing each other.

Ruoxue is a little restrained. What happened to him today?

"Ruoxue, you are acting strangely today. Can you tell me what's going on?" There was a hint of danger in his tone. He leaned back in his chair and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Well..." Ruoxue was speechless, thought for a while, and then continued: "I think I should be nicer to you. Regardless of whether you accept it or not, I will only do what I want to do, that's it."

"That's all?" It seemed that her answer made him very dissatisfied.

Ruoxue was a little overwhelmed by his questioning. This man's temper was really weird. He would get angry when he saw her talking to other men. Now that she only cared about him for a moment, she felt that she was abnormal. She couldn't handle it.

Understand what is going on in his head!

She nodded and pointed to the cup on the table: "Drink quickly, it will get cold in a while."

He slowly picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of the milk in the cup, put it down again, and said to Ruoxue, "Do you want to hear my story?"

Ruoxue stared at him, not knowing how to answer. From his deep gaze, she felt that the story he told must be unusual.

"My father once had a very good brother. They worked hard together and started a business together." He said slowly.

"Later, my father suddenly discovered one day that his brother actually had an agenda with him. Not only did he secretly transfer the company's assets and start a new business, but the woman next to my father was also in league with his brother.

"He said, his tone began to become cruel.

"Later, his brother deliberately caused a shipwreck to kill my father." He stopped and looked at Ruoxue with calm eyes.

"What happened next?" she asked.

"Later, my father disappeared from their sight. The official statement was that he was missing. He fled to this city alone, married my mother, and relied on the strength of my mother's family to start over in this city," he said.

.

"That's it...then what happened next?" Ruoxue asked.

"I was still young at that time, and I didn't understand some things. Later I found out that he was still thinking about that woman, the woman who ruined his family. He actually went back to find her behind my mother's back." He said.

As he said that, he looked out the window.

Outside the window, the black night shrouded everything, and everything around made people feel quiet and scary.

"It's a pity that in this life, he fell into the trap of his most trusted brother and his former woman." He sighed, withdrew his gaze and looked at Ruoxue.

Ruoxue had a vague feeling that the incident he was talking about had something to do with her. Otherwise, he would not have said this to herself. Looking at his expression, it seemed that some kind of event had stirred up his memories.

In this silent night, he confided to himself the secret in his heart. What exactly was he thinking? She didn't dare to ask too many questions, she just looked at him and listened to the story he told.

But he didn't say any more. Instead, he picked up the cup and drank all the milk in it. He looked at Ruoxue with complicated eyes, paused and then said, "Go to the bedroom and wait for me."

She didn't dare to say anything and quickly did as he said.

After this incident, she continued to feel his temper and adapted to him. Ruoxue felt that his attitude towards her seemed to have changed, and was not as cruel as before. Although he was still cold, he could occasionally

She will also care about herself. Of course, she has no privacy in front of him. She must report to him in advance what she wants to do every day, including going to school to visit Ruolin.

Normally, she was like a housewife, taking the bus to the market to buy vegetables every day, and then cooking the food herself. He usually didn't come back for lunch, so she asked Aunt Zhang to deliver it to him every day.

Because he had made an agreement with her a long time ago, she was not allowed to go to him for any reason. After dinner was ready, he would wait for him. Basically, he would come back on time at seven o'clock every day. Of course, when there were social events, he would

I will call back and tell Ruoxue.

A month passed peacefully like this, and Ruoxue still had no news about her brother. She stayed in the villa watching the sunrise and sunset every day, and her heart felt empty. She really didn't know how he was doing over there now.
