My Groom Ran Away

Her aunt, Ruan Lingfang, had always been pampered and spoiled by the family. Her personality was pure and innocent. When she originally wanted to get married to Lin Cheng, the two elders of the Ruan family did not agree. But Lin Cheng had been as filial as a biological son for over twenty years.

Later, as the elders got older and their son and daughter had passed. The only one left accompanying them was this son-in-law and was somewhat moved.

Speaking of diligence in front of the old man, she indeed was ‘not comparable’ to Lin Cheng.

At eleven, just as she changed out of her house clothes, she received a call from Cheng Yuelin.

The man concisely said, “Come down.”

Ruan Zhiyin quickly dressed up and took the elevator out of the apartment.

There was a shiny black Bentley parked quietly under a tree diagonally opposite from her. She walked a few steps and hesitantly stood in front of the car.

The car window rolled down and the man in a suit was leaning indifferently against the backseat. His white knuckles were casually placed on the middle seat. His long and slender legs were crossed.

Cheng Yuelin looked up slightly.

After experiencing the turmoil yesterday, she seemed to have recovered quickly. She looked a little tired, but her attitude seemed very normal.

Fair enough, even in the past, she had always been very calm. But outsiders had always regarded this calmness as cowardice and weakness.

After meeting her gaze, the man gestured to the seat next to him and said, “Get on.”

Ruan Zhiyin pursed her lips before she opened the car door to sit in the back seat.

He asked the driver to drive, then he put his feet up and closed his eyes to rest. His exhaustion was visible.

He had suddenly announced his marriage. After the wedding, he had to return to the company and had a meeting with the shareholders until early in the morning before he could allay their suspicions about how this wedding would affect Lin Heng’s business.

It was quiet inside the car. Cheng Yuelin kept his eyes closed before quietly opening his mouth, saying—

“Thought of what to say?”

He was asking what they were going to say about the marriage to Grandfather Ruan.

Ruan Zhiyin nodded her head and silently looked down. “There were no feelings between Qin Jue and me. The reason I agreed previously was because of the arranged marriage. But he likes Lin Jingfei, and you and I…”

She paused for a moment before saying—

“Are truly in love.”

It was only with this explanation that they would be able to resolve the mess that Qin Jue and Lin Jingfei had left before without making Grandfather anxious.

“Oh?” Cheng Yuelin slowly raised a brow. He looked at her with a deep gaze. “True love?”

The man’s voice was low and magnetic. It seemed to wrap around the tip of his tongue and was even polished repeatedly.

Ruan Zhiyin fell silent. She felt these words could be easily misunderstood. She quietly explained. “Don’t worry, there is no other meaning to this. It is only while we are in front of Grandfather.”

But he lifted a brow and quietly asked: “I shouldn’t worry?”

Ruan Zhiyin lifted her eyes and looked at him in doubt.

“Why did you ask me?” Cheng Yuelin changed the question.

Thinking of the standards that Linlang had listed and so that he cooperated well in front of her grandfather, Ruan Zhiyin decided to compliment him.

“You’re handsome and rich. In just five years, you could clear the mess left by your father and develop it into the Lin Heng of today. You can easily see that you are amazing. Linlang said that the people who want to marry you can be lined up from Lan High School to A University. It is just a little bit less than Qin Jue.”

Even though Cheng Yuelin had a bad temper, not everyone got married because of feelings. Many wanted to marry him because of his money.

If there’s enough money, one would be willing to endure his bad temper a little.

She had complimented him a lot, but who knew that the man’s focus was on the very last bit—

“A little bit less?”

Ruan Zhiyin thought she had roused his competitive spirit and quickly comforted him by saying, “Don’t be discouraged, you just need to slightly change your ba… Your not very friendly character and you will definitely overtake him. Qin Jue has a lot of scandals right now. But you live cleanly, and this will give you a lot of bonus points in front of women.”

“Is that so? I’m that good?”

The man stared at her with playful eyes.

Ruan Zhiyin saw that he was in a good mood and continued to nod her head. “Of course, otherwise I would not have chosen you to be the groom”

After all, he was placed first on the list that Linlang had come up with.

Cheng Yuelin crossed his arms and looked at her. He chuckled and said, “Ha, then I really can’t slack.”

I don’t really believe in your intentions.

Ruan Zhiyin: “……”

“However, your preferences have improved.”

He continued praising.

Ruan Zhiyin: “……”
