After Aunt Qin left, Xu Yue asked Ruan Xingwan in a low voice: "Did you quarrel again?"
"..."
Is it obvious?
Ruan Xingwan twitched the corners of his mouth, unable to tell the reason for the quarrel, so he could only lie without changing his expression: "No, he might be in a bad mood."
Xu Yue sighed and said clearly: "This child has been like this since he was a child. He likes to put on a bad face."
Ruan Xingwan said silently, as expected.
Xu Yue said again: "Okay, ignore him and let's eat."
After a while, Zhou Cishen had already changed his clothes and came out, still looking cold, as if someone owed him money, and he had no good expression.
Even if she didn't know that he was Aunt Xu's son before, now that she knows, Ruan Xingwan will inevitably feel a little embarrassed to have dinner with them, and she will naturally regard herself as an outsider by default, let alone interfere with it.
It's a matter between them.
However, Ruan Xingwan observed carefully during the meal. Perhaps because of their personalities, the relationship between Aunt Xu and Zhou Cishen was very calm and natural, without too much concern, nor the unfamiliarity and indifference of the previous meeting.
That's pretty good too.
In Ruan Xingwan's memory, the concept of her mother was very vague. Not only did she forget what she looked like, she even couldn't remember the details of getting along with her at all.
If one day Ruan Jun told her that she jumped out of a crack in the rocks and he picked her up and took her home, she wouldn't be able to believe it.
Thinking of Ruan Jun, Ruan Xingwan was a little lost in thought.
After that night, she deliberately did not let herself think about this person and only regarded him as dead.
He has probably taken the money and traveled far away to live a happy life.
If possible, she hoped that she would never have any news about him in this life.
After dinner, Xu Yue went into the house to wash the dishes. Ruan Xingwan was just about to go upstairs to rest when Zhou Cishen grabbed her wrist: "Where are you going?"
"Go to sleep, otherwise can you still go drinking?"
He frowned in displeasure: "Are you a pig? You can sleep all day long."
Ruan Xingwan looked at him quietly: "Do you have any instructions from Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Cishen stood up and said calmly: "Come with me for a walk."
"I have walked this street with Mr. Zhou countless times in the past few days. Mr. Zhou should walk slowly alone, I won't..."
"Are you leaving or not?"
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
This dog man is really annoying. Besides threatening people, what else can he do?
She took an angry step: "Let's go, let's go!"
Zhou Cishen's lips curled up and he followed her out.
The neighbors are all back, and the streets are lively. There are even occasional aunties passing by to say hello to Ruan Xingwan.
But when she saw the man behind her, she looked surprised. Her eyes swept back and forth between the two of them, and they all showed meaningful expressions.
After a while, Ruan Xingwan wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Now that's good, the bitch man told her about his marriage that night, and she's pregnant with a child, so there's no telling what kind of rumors will spread.
But Zhou Cishen, who always took these things seriously, seemed not to notice anything. His expression was always calm and he followed her with a distance of half a meter.
Ruan Xingwan quickened her pace, and after walking the entire street perfunctorily, she said: "Mr. Zhou, please continue shopping, I really want to go back."
This time, Zhou Cishen didn't say much, just hummed in a low voice.
On the way back, Ruan Xingwan finally couldn't help but said: "Mr. Zhou, can I ask you a question?"
"explain."
"How long will it take to complete your work here?"
Zhou Cishen looked sideways at her, his eyes a little cold: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Ruan Xingwan stopped and said sincerely: "I think no matter what, even if we are ordinary men and women, living under the same roof is very judgmental, not to mention that we are still divorced.
, then we should keep distance in all aspects... Of course, I don’t mean to rush Mr. Zhou away, you can stay wherever you like, I will just go out and find a hotel to stay for two days."
Zhou Cishen said coldly: "Why didn't you think of keeping a distance from me when you hooked me up?"
"..." Ruan Xingwan blushed slightly and was a little embarrassed to say, "Mr. Zhou, can you... change your words?"
Besides, weren't you and I consensual at that time? It sounded like I was forcing you."
"You do."
After Zhou Cishen finished speaking, he walked away.
Ruan Xingwan followed him: "This is just a small suggestion from me. I believe Mr. Zhou must have discovered that with our current relationship, it is indeed inconvenient to live together."
"What is our current relationship?"
"Currently divorced..."
Zhou Cishen interrupted her mercilessly: "A relationship after divorce?"
Ruan Xingwan felt that we really couldn't continue talking today.
Can't he talk like a normal person?
It was obvious that Zhou Cishen didn't want to talk to her anymore.
For the rest of the way, neither of them spoke.
Zhou Cishen no longer walked behind her as before, and quickly distanced himself from her.
Ruan Xingwan was a little tired from walking, so he simply sat on the chair next to him to rest.
What is the virtue of a dog man? He gets angry when he says he is angry.
She just asked, and she didn't really say that she wanted to move out. She was not the one who was tormenting herself with this back and forth.
Ruan Xingwan sat there for more than ten minutes. Although he was feeling depressed, he walked around and felt much more energetic than before.
She took a breath, stood up, and was about to go back when she saw Zhou Cishen had turned back at some point and was standing not far away, looking at her coldly.
Perhaps because she was already sentimental during pregnancy, Ruan Xingwan felt a little aggrieved inexplicably. The wind made her eyes feel astringent, and tears fell without any warning.
Zhou Cishen: "..."
He walked up to her: "Are you still reasonable?"
Although the words he spoke were still ugly, his tone was much softer than before.
Ruan Xingwan turned his head and rubbed his eyes: "Who can be more reasonable than you? You are the most reasonable in the world. Everything you say is right, and everything others say is wrong. They are all scheming and conspiratorial.
.”
"If I say one thing, if you say ten things, who is better than you?"
"Then don't talk to me."
Zhou Ci gave a deep smile. He didn't know whether he thought she was childish, or whether he thought this sterile quarrel was childish.
The more Ruan Xingwan talked, the more aggrieved she became, her tears streaming down her cheeks, and she couldn't control them no matter what.
Just when she wanted to ignore this bitch and leave, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward, patting her back gently with his palm: "Okay, it's my fault, don't cry."
Ruan Xingwan was stunned in his arms, and said unwillingly: "Really?"
