Ruan Xingwan touched his neck uncomfortably and coughed: "Um, I'm going to take a shower first."
Pei Shanshan felt something fishy as soon as he saw her back. If he guessed correctly, she must have been taken advantage of by that doggy man again.
After a while, Ruan Xing's late takeout arrived.
When Ruan Xingwan came out of the shower, Pei Shanshan had just started eating, and she asked: "Xingxing, do you want something to eat?"
"No, you can eat."
Ruan Xingwan wiped her hair and was about to go back to the room. Suddenly something occurred to her, so she sat back on the sofa and asked, "Shanshan, have you heard about the class reunion?"
Pei Shanshan said: "I heard about it, but it seems that it was organized by Chen Wanlu, probably to show off his executive husband, so let's not join in the fun."
Ruan Xingwan nodded: "Okay."
After returning to the room, she sent a message to Cheng Wei, saying that neither she nor Pei Shanshan would be going to the weekend class reunion.
Soon, Cheng Wei called.
He asked slowly: "Xingwan, have you returned to Nancheng?"
"Well, I came back yesterday."
"Then if you have nothing to do this weekend, I have two tickets for a stage play. Let's go watch it together."
"Cheng Wei."
Ruan Xingwan pursed her lips and said, "I don't like watching stage plays. You and others should watch it."
On the other end of the phone, Cheng Wei was silent for a few seconds and then said, "It doesn't matter if you don't like stage plays. We can watch other movies. There have been a few movies released recently that are pretty good. We..."
"No."
Ruan Xingwan continued, "I am very grateful to you and sorry for this period of time, but no matter what, I think I should make it clear to you..."
Cheng Wei interrupted her: "Xingwan, I know what you want to say. You don't have to feel sorry for me. Everything is of my own free will. I just hope you can give me another chance and not get off so early."
Judgment."
Ruan Xingwan looked out the window: "The problem is with me. I may not be able to do anything about it..."
"As long as you are sure to get back together with Zhou Cishen, I will withdraw from my blessings to you, but before that, I will never give up."
"Cheng Wei..."
Ruan Xingwan didn't know what to say for a while.
Cheng Wei added: "Xingwan, you don't have to feel any pressure. I just want to strive for my own happiness. I missed it once a few years ago, and now I don't want to miss it again."
After hanging up the phone, Ruan Xingwan sat by the bed, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, her cell phone rang. It was Ruan Chen, asking if she had gone home.
After Ruan Chen moved out of Daniel's house, he still rented a new house in this apartment.
Ruan Xingwan said: "I'm back."
After a pause, he asked again: "Where have you been? Have you just arrived home?"
Ruan Chen was silent for a few seconds before saying: "Xu Wan came to the studio to find you."
"Then what."
"I saw you sleeping, so I went out to eat with her."
Ruan Xingwan had a smile on his face: "That's it."
Ruan Chen explained: "Didn't you say last time that my incident caused her a lot of losses, and you should thank her."
Ruan Xingwan encouraged: "Yes, I said so, you did a good job."
"..."
Ruan Xingwan said again: "Okay, let's go to bed early."
Ruan Chen said: "Did Zhou Cishen go to find you?"
"……how do you know?"
"My guess."
Ruan Xingwan touched his nose unnaturally and gave a very pale explanation: "He brought something here."
After getting the answer, Ruan Chen didn't ask any more questions. He said he understood and hung up the phone.
Ruan Xingwan took a long breath as he listened to the busy signal from his cell phone.
She hugged the pillow and lay on the bed, staring ahead in trance, with thousands of thoughts in her mind.
…
Several customers' orders required finished products made a year ago. Ruan Xingwan quickly adjusted the situation and started working again.
Rather than letting the past become an unsolvable knot in my heart, it is better to regard those two days on Anqiao Long Street as a sweet dream.
In the afternoon, Pei Shanshan went out to shoot, Ruan Chen sent the finished product to the customer, and Ruan Xingwan was organizing things in the studio.
At this time, a sharp female voice came from behind: "I also said that you are so busy that you don't even come to participate in the society. As a result, there is no one in your shabby shop."
Ruan Xingwan knew who was coming without turning his head.
Chen Wanlu crossed her arms across her chest, glanced around the studio, and then focused on Ruan Xingwan, saying displeasedly: "Ruan Xingwan, are you not giving me face, or are you looking down on those old classmates."
Ruan Xingwan looked at her and smiled perfunctorily: "Don't you already have the answer in your heart? Why bother asking?"
"You..." Chen Wanlu wanted to get angry, but she held it back, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. After all, you are divorced now and have opened such a bad studio. You are under great pressure and have no shame.
It’s normal to attend class reunions.”
Ruan Xingwan said: "You are right, my small studio does not make any money, and no one usually comes. Since you made this special trip today, you probably did it to take care of my business."
Chen Wanlu crossed her chest with both hands and raised her chin arrogantly: "Of course, you don't care about your classmates, but I have to care about you."
"Okay, thank you then."
Ruan Xingwan said with a smile, "Currently, I only accept private customization here. The design fee starts at 100,000, excluding material and labor costs. For someone with your status, jewelry must be of top quality. I happen to have one here."
The market price of jewelry that can be used as earrings is 300,000 yuan. Since you came here to take care of my business, I won’t charge you for labor and will give you a discount, totaling 380,000 yuan.
How about it?"
As early as when she heard that the design fee was 100,000 yuan, a subtle change appeared on Chen Wanlu's face.
After Ruan Xingwan said the final price, her expression became completely unbearable: "Ruan Xingwan, are you trying to steal the money?
I can buy any junk thing that costs hundreds of thousands outside..."
Ruan Xingwan smiled and said: "I can't help it, my studio is like this. Although there are not many people coming in usually, I can still get some rent after accepting an order."
Chen Wanlu made an excuse: "Then how do I know if you have raised the price?
There are not just one or two examples of people who specifically deceive people they know."
"You can rest assured that I won't charge you a penny more. Xu Wan, you know, she is an old customer of ours. Besides her, there are many celebrities who have placed orders with us, including..."
"Okay, okay."
Seeing that something was wrong, Chen Wanlu could only find another place to break through, "My husband doesn't like me wearing earrings, is there anything else?"
