My Groom Ran Away

Gu Linlang: Ah Chu is right. The wedding pictures must be taken. The wedding rings need to be worn. There are a lot of people who try to take advantage these days. It doesn’t matter if it is a guy or girl, keep a close eye.

Seeing the two people talking in the group, Ruan Zhiyin watched the chat and pondered.

It seemed as though after getting married, the two of them never wore their wedding rings. Besides, it seems as though she had overlooked the possibility of any rivals.

The next day passed by with a heavy thought weighing on her mind.

At the dinner table, Ruan Zhiyin passed a bowl of rice to Cheng Yuelin and started to talk.

“The first love you talked about before, what was she like?”

Even though she had doubts about whether or not Cheng Yuelin had a first love, the more she thought about it, she realized she could not confirm or deny this fact. Ruan Zhiyin did not plan to bother his first love, but if he really did have a first love, then she could… at least figure out his type.

Cheng Yuelin looked at her expressionlessly and indifferently said, “Good marks, enjoys helping people. Qian Fan even said she’s very nice a few days ago.”

“A few days ago?” Ruan Zhiyin slender brows furrowed into a slight frown and subconsciously clenched her hand. “Then do you… still like her?”

Her heart seemed to be feeling a bit jealous.

Cheng Yuelin gave a bright smile and said, “Ruan Yingying, last time didn’t you tell me not to ruin other people’s weddings?”

She had almost forgotten that person had already gotten married. Besides his first love and her husband’s relationship seems to be so good, he felt as though the chances of him going between them was zero. She also wondered how amazing his first love’s husband was, for him to feel he had no chance.

Thinking about this, Ruan Zhiyin breathed a sigh of relief, and her voice got a little lighter. “Then have you gotten over it?”

The man imperceptibly nodded and said, “Yeah, compared to the past, I prefer the present.”

Ruan Zhiyin looked up at him and smiled and said, “Yes. Me too.”

Compared to the high school version of him, she preferred their current relationship. Particularly back then, their relationship was much too tense.

“Oh? Did you find me that annoying during high school?” Cheng Yuelin lifted a brow. “When you could not come back from abroad and you weren’t able to see me at my lowest, did you regret it?”

Ruan Zhiyin looked up at the man with a dumbfounded gaze and was speechless for a moment.

She paused and seriously said, “Cheng Yuelin, I never wanted to see you in such a mess. I was just… frustrated by you to the point I could not do anything.”

If he was actually bad, then she could have calmly treated him as a stranger and not bothered wasting any emotion on him. But he was just good at pushing other people’s buttons and his temper was difficult to get along with. At that time Ruan Zhiyin could do nothing about him.

Seeing her serious and sincere attitude, Cheng Yuelin sighed and said, “Ruan Yingying, you should understand everyone has a temper and emotions. There was no need to endure everything.”

In fact, most of the time, he had tried to intentionally make her angry, she would still not have much of a big reaction. Other people might think it was due to her mild and gentle nature, but it was just another wall separating herself from others.

Even in the Ruan family, she probably did not have a true sense of belonging.

Ruan Zhiyin’s world was very clear. People who were good to her, she will care for them. People who had bad intentions to her, she will be indifferent. She will not waste any emotions on them.

People such as the Lin Family, they would probably not be much different from strangers in her eyes. Dealing with their ill-will, she would only calmly endure without being hurt and without being angered. She would just coldly separate herself from them and build up the wall in her heart.

Cheng Yuelin silently took her bowl and rubbed her head. “There is no one who is perfect. Even if there is just a shred of emotion, it should still be expressed. Do not suppress it.”

She would always give present a gentle and proper image to people, learning to always wear a mask. She feared that if she showed any sort of weakness, others would leave.

Ruan Zhiyin was silent and stiffly nodded her head. She did not respond but gave a little sniffle. She was used to regulating any negative emotions and she did not want to show others her emotions because she had never been in a relationship strong enough or close enough for her to accept another’s negative emotions.

After a long silence, she threw away all those complicated thoughts.

After taking a breather, she suddenly remembered something and quietly asked. “Then why didn’t you accept the money back then?”

Ruan Zhiyin was talking about when the Cheng family had gotten into trouble, she had asked someone to help pay Cheng Yuelin’s tuition.

The man lowered his eyes, and his voice was light. “Probably because of pride.”

At that time, he did not know what road he would choose, so how could he pull her into this. It would be better to clear off the relationship. When he found out that Qin Jue had also gone abroad, he realized he was one step behind.

Ruan Zhiyin looked at his expression and knew that he did not want to keep talking.

So after taking a long breath she continued. “Linlang recommended a good wedding photographer to me. They have time in the next two days.”

“Okay.”

“Also…”

Seeing that she still wanted to say something, Cheng Yuelin looked at her.

Ruan Zhiyin passed a red velvet box to him and said, “This is for you. I just bought it.”

Cheng Yuelin took it and when he opened it, a silver wedding ring glittered under the light.

“Since we’re married, we should have wedding rings, right?”

Even if it was just for show, he should still wear a wedding ring.

It was just that the original set of wedding rings would not be suitable for them to wear. So during the day Ruan Zhiyin had gone to the mall and had carefully selected a new pair of wedding rings.

She carefully measured the man’s expression and said, “If you do not like it, we can go change it.”

It was silent for a long time before Cheng Yuelin’s lips curved up into the tiniest smile and he reached out a finger to tap her on the forehead.

Then in his usual clear and lazy voice he said, “Hm, not bad.”
