Chapter 70 The Tears Have Been Dry(1/3)
It was Saturday. Ruoru and Xu Tang were both late at noon and they started to play and make a fuss. Lin Ruoru was slowly putting on his clothes. Xu Tang opened the curtains: "It must be very cold outside."
"What can I do if I'm not cold in winter?" Ruoru rubbed his fluffy hair sleeping. "Anyway, we won't go out and can't freeze."
"Who said we won't go out?"
Xu Tang pulled up the curtains and turned around and looked at her with a smile.
"Ah? Are you going out?"
"Of course."
Lin Ruoruo put on slippers while getting down: "What are you doing when you go out?"
"Miss Lin, first of all, it's past 11 o'clock now. Then, we haven't had any meals yet. Finally, can we stay at home on a wonderful weekend?"
"It seems to be," Ruoruo yawned and walked towards the bathroom, "Whatever you want, I'll rinse my mouth first."
"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry to use it! Today we'll go shopping and go shopping!!" Xu Tang put his hands in a trumpet shape and put them beside his mouth, shouting loudly, with an expression full of excitement.
"I understand!" Lin Ruoru's lazy voice spread out in a vague way, his mouth full of toothpaste foam.
The two of them dressed up carefully before going out with their hands. Such carefree time only appeared in college. Unexpectedly, they still have such opportunities to go shopping and play happily together. Lin Ruoruo's friendship comes more realistically and longer than love.
Considering Ruoru's physical condition, they went directly to the department store. Once the nature of shopping in a woman's body is revealed, it will be unstoppable.
They are everywhere in fashion areas, cosmetics areas, snack areas.
Xu Tang changed his clothes in the fitting room, and Lin Ruoruo walked leisurely in the store, choosing suitable clothes, and the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
She took out her cell phone and stopped when she saw the familiar number.
Lu Yanheng.
The phone ringing kept ringing, and Lin Ruoruo was stunned for two seconds before choosing to answer.
"······Hello?"
Her voice was astringent, a little dry, and a little hoarse. It was just a short word that could reveal all a person's emotions? What about unreserved?
"Where are you?"
“······I’m outside.”
Lu Yanheng said in a completely official tone: "You haven't been home for two days."
"Yes." She responded faintly.
Lu Yanheng didn't ask any more: "The three days I gave you have come, I need a result."
Lin Ruoruo smiled silently, looking at the bright mirror in the clothing store, his curved eyebrows and eyes inside: "You call me to tell me about this?"
"right."
The corners of her mouth froze, and she calmed down as if nothing had happened: "Lu Yanheng, did I not express my meaning clearly before?"
"Ruoru, I'm also thinking, have I not expressed my meaning clearly?"
He was refuting her with her words.
From the corner of his eyes, he saw Xu Tang walking out of the fitting room. Lin Ruoruo lowered his voice: "What do you want now?"
"I can't explain it clearly on the phone. I'll wait for you at home, so let's talk in person."
"good."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yanheng hung up the phone.
Xu Tang walked over and asked casually: "Whose phone number?"
Lin Ruoruo no longer concealed her. She had said before that she would tell her if there was anything, and she would not bear it anymore. She didn't want to hide it from her anymore. There was no secret between them that could not be told.
"Lu Yanheng."
Xu Tang immediately moved his eyes from his clothes to Lin Ruoruo's face, looking alert: "What are he doing when he calls?"
What else do that bastard wants to do now? Did he take care of Ruoruo like this for five years? It’s hard for her to calm down Ruoruo’s emotions and can no longer withstand the stimulation.
"He said he wanted me to go home and he was waiting for me there."
Xu Tang refused without thinking: "Don't go."
"Tangtang, I can hide for a while, but I can't hide for a lifetime. Things must have a result, although I don't want to go at all." Ruoru's voice lowered, "Go, he will do whatever he wants! It's not my thing, and no matter how hard he keeps it, it won't be able to keep it. If you drag on such a marriage, it will be of no value."
"You really want to go, then I'll go with you."
Lin Ruoru nodded: "Okay."
It was just that she hadn't been here for two days, but Lin Ruoruo felt a sense of strangeness and powerlessness. This place probably no longer belonged to her. When it was dark, she would never come back here soon. Looking here, nothing changed on the balcony, and her favorite seat was still there.
Lin Ruoruo untied his seat belt, Xu Tang turned to look at her: "I'm waiting for you here. If you have any questions, call me immediately."
It seemed like I was going to meet the underworld. Ruoru felt warm and smiled: "It's okay."
I don’t know if Xu Tang would listen to this comfort, but she didn’t think about it anymore and got out of the car and entered the house.
When Lin Ruoruo saw the straight figure standing, he couldn't help but feel sore. The person she loved like that was so cruel to her and left no room for anything.
Lu Yanheng turned around. Today he only wore a white shirt, his suit was still on the sofa, and his eyebrows and eyes still had a sharp and smart mind that had never faded. Lin Ruoru thought that she had always hoped that in Lu Yanheng's heart, she was more important than at work. Unexpectedly, her wish came true today, but it came true in this way.
The briefcase was also thrown on the sofa, obviously he had just come out of the company. It was really only in this case that he would look for her during work hours.
How bitter.
"Here you come."
Lin Ruoru nodded.
Lu Yanheng didn't say anything, but directly touched the topic: "What about your answer?"
"What's the answer?" Lin Ruoruo suddenly smiled softly, stared at him, and asked knowingly.
In fact, this scene made her unconsciously*. He stood there like that, with the background behind her, so homely. She remembered the curtains very clearly. She had only confirmed it after asking him for his opinion.
He frowned and looked quite puzzled: "Why do I feel like you have become a different person."
"Is there any?" She lowered her head and looked at her whole body: "I haven't changed. Lu Yanheng, maybe you can look at it from a different perspective, it's not me who has changed."
"I'm very busy and I don't have time." Lu Yanheng was so annoyed that he reached out and pulled his tie.
I didn't ask her where she was, I didn't ask her why she didn't go home, I asked nothing, and after a simple "come" I didn't have any extra politeness.
At this time, Lin Ruoruo suddenly realized that the person in front of him really no longer belonged to him.
She heard her voice breaking out, but without any trembling: "Lu Yanheng, I'll just sign it."
Hearing this sentence, Lu Yanheng looked at Ruoruo for a while, then raised his cold eyebrows and eyes: "Okay."
He said, OK.
Suddenly my chest was so tight that I couldn't breathe.
Your repeated pressure, my repeated retreat, and her repeated interference were actually destined to be the result, right? But she was still struggling to hold on, and finally today, she was defeated by his cold eyes.
That's it.
At least in the past, this marriage was a love-and-match, without any far-fetchedness. But now, it is easy to get together and part.
Lin Ruoruo smiled softly: "I didn't bring the agreement with me. I'll find some time to send it to you one day."
"Well," Lu Yanheng picked up his suit and strode out the door. "The agreement for this house is already given to you, and you don't need to go outside again."
"I see."
Lu Yanheng's back paused slightly, then opened the door and walked out without any nostalgia.
Is it a deal? She hasn't looked at it well yet. Every time she looks at it, she feels it's cut on her body. Just thinking about it is enough to make her heart hurt. Lu Yanheng, I don't care what you left for me at all.
Just like when I promised to marry you, I didn't think about asking for your wealth at all.
This villa is still under her name. Lin Ruoruo pulled the corners of her mouth lightly and walked upstairs.
Nothing changed in the bedroom. Her things were placed in a familiar position. Open the curtains and the distant scenery on the balcony were all in her eyes.
He was not here before, but she knew that one day he would come back. But now, he really won't appear here again, never again. When she was waiting, she still had hope, and she didn't even have the qualifications and rights to wait, so she really had nothing.
Five years are like a dream, with both pain and laughter.
Lin Ruoruo opened the wardrobe and was full of her clothes, including spring, summer, autumn and winter, different styles, but the same ones were famous brands. As his wife, he had to live up to his face.
She reached out and started to take out the clothes one by one. Perhaps because she was too impatient, the clothes fell to the ground accidentally. She quickly squatted down to pick them up. Her fingers touched the cold floor, and a big tear fell down on the red wooden floor.
She suddenly remembered that time she fell on her butt and wiped the safflower oil for two days. His gentle movements at that time made her lose her mind. The reason for the fall...
Lin Ruoru threw away all the clothes in his arms, almost threw himself to the side, and hurriedly opened the drawer.
The brooch was still there, and the light of the broken diamond was still flashing, increasing and unabated.
She held the brooch tightly in her hand, and until her fingertips began to turn white, and the delicate skin of her palms was bleeding, but she still didn't feel it.
It seemed that something was slowly flowing out from the body little by little.
I don’t know when Xu Tang came in, quietly pulled up and curled up into a ball. Lin Ruoruo, who was sitting next to him, gently patted her back: “Everything has passed, everything has passed.”
Lin Ruoruo opened his blank eyes without a focus: "Tangtang, he left, and when he left, he didn't even look back."
To be continued...
