Chapter 14

Seeing the joy in Cheng Yuelin's eyes, Ruan Zhiyin knew that this person was addicted to pretending the devoted couple.
She had also asked him why he wanted to help her out before, but Cheng Yuelin's explanation was that since he had agreed to pretend a loving couple with her, he couldn't reveal the secret to the outside world. He didn't want Linheng's stock price to dive.
In Cheng Yuelin's opinion, Lin Jingfei's previous remarks may have threatened his stock price, so he definitely cannot stand her.
Ruan Zhiyin's eyelashes trembled slightly after seeing him. She then immediately sighed in her heart, and held the hand that the man stretched out.
The palms were warm, and the man's calloused fingers slightly rub the back of her hand, making her itch for a while, but it also gradually warmed her hand, which is always cold.
Qin Jue stared at the hands that the two of them clasped, his jaw line tightened, and intense emotions rolled in his dark pupils.
He clenched his fingers tightly, raised his head and said coldly, "Mr. Cheng, what does this mean?"
"You can’t tell?” Cheng Yuelin chuckled lightly, raised his eyebrows recklessly, and took the lead, "Of course, I come to pick up my wife from work."
Ruan Zhiyin couldn't help sweating for him because of his overtly sweet voice, which was clearly driving Qin Jue mad.
Qin Jue was always graceful and rarely gets angry. But at this time, his expression was darkened and tense, and his eyes were as cold as ice.
He stopped looking at Cheng Yuelin, stepped forward and held Ruan Zhiyin's wrist: "Zhiyin, I'll take you back."
Qin Jue’s grip was too tight, so she had to try her best to keep Qin Jue's hand away, and looked at him with a frown, "Qin Jue, I have told you that once you decided to run away from our wedding, we are done."
After being with Qin Jue for so many years, she had also hoped that the two of them could break up with dignity and ease, but he obviously didn't want to give her this chance.
Qin Jue's eyes were sharp, and his anger was suppressed in his voice, "You are my fiancee, and we had relationship for so many years. How could we be done so easily?"
Ruan Zhiyin was about to laugh angrily. She only blamed herself for being too devoted in their relationship, which made Qin Jue feel that she would always be there for him, tolerate him, and understand him.
Until now, he still felt that she was joking with him.
With sarcasm in her eyes, she looked at Qin Jue. Shaking her head helplessly, the corners of his lips raised: "Yes, you are right. We still have to have connections with each other in the future." Ruan Zhiyin's voice was clearly audible, "When you and Lin Jingfei get married, we will be cousin-in-law.”
At least, in front of grandpa.
Cousin-in-law.
Qin Jue was immediately stunned. He stared at her, and his calmness and rationality was on the verge of collapse.
In addition to the people behind Qin Jue, many other employees gradually piled up in front of the elevator as it is time for everyone to get off work. Seeing this scene, they all looked at each other and talked in low voices.
Seeing this, Ruan Zhiyin ignored Qin Jue.
She turned her head and glanced at the man who is still looking at Qin Jue's expression, and dragged the corner of his shirt, "Let's go."
Cheng Yuelin took a last look at Qin Jue, stretched out his hand to embrace Ruan Zhiyin's shoulder, and nodded lightly.
Just when he turned around, he suddenly showed a meaningful smirk, and his voice was low and melodious, "Goodbye, cousin-in-law."
Qin Jue's fingers clenched suddenly, but the next second, the elevator door slowly closed. The figure of the loving couple was the last he can see.

Bentley parked carelessly downstairs.
Ruan Zhiyin got into the car and relaxed.
She didn't expect Qin Jue to find her all the way to her workplace.
Ruan Zhiyin has always tried her best to avoid personal affairs becoming the subject of her employees’ gossips, and she didn't want to argue with Qin Jue in front of so many people, but today...
Fortunately, Lin Cheng has purposely spread how Qin Jue's escape from marriage because of Lin Jingfei, trying to let everyone know the Lin family has everything in control. Cheng Yuelin picking her up from work today actually helped her.
Thinking of this, she looked at the man beside her.
After getting in the car, Cheng Yuelin let go of her, leaned back on the seat in a leisurely posture, and opened his laptop work.
He seemed to be very concentrated, and his expression was quite different from the gentle look before.
Ruan Zhiyin couldn't help but sigh. The man's acting skills is superb, and it is no wonder that he can started his business from nothing.
For the stock price, this person can really do anything.
"Cheng Yuelin."
She was the first to break the silence.
The man lifted his eyelids, and turned his head slightly: "Well, what?"
Ruan Zhiyin hesitated for a while, and finally said what she wanted to say in the morning, "Thank you for picking me up from work. In fact, I hope that we can get along well in the future."
Cheng Yuelin listened, looked at her for a few seconds, and then chuckled, nodding. He seemed to be in a good mood.
Hearing his answer, Ruan Zhiyin continued, "So the unpleasant...like yesterday...we should try to avoid that."
Cheng Yuelin stopped his hand on the keyboard after her words, turned his head, and seemed to have doubts in his eyes, "We had a bad day yesterday?"
"We didn’t?" Ruan Zhiyin asked.
Last night, they clearly had a not-so-pleasant conversation.
His straight brows wrinkled a little gully. He held his cheeks and pondered for a few seconds, and his eyes met her: "Wasn’t it a positive and smooth conversation?"
Ruan Zhiyin: "..."
Once again, she understood the meaning in the man's eyes: he never wastes time on meaningless stuff, and she should feel honored to have this kind of conversation with him.
Ruan Zhiyin couldn't help but froze for a while, and after a long sigh of relief she denied, "Of course not."
The man frowned, then quickly opened it up again, and then asked: "So, how do you want to get along well?"
How to get along well?
She was stopped by the man for a while.
It was really hard for Ruan Zhiyin to imagine how she could get along well with him.
In high school, she tried her best to maintain her well-behaved and dull personality, only Cheng Yuelin had the ability to make her angry and reveal her true personally.
Cheng Yuelin took advantage of her image of being helpful and forced her to do homework and teach him free lessons outside the class. In return, she often found ways to make him look bad at the teacher's and parents' place.
The relationship was not good, and they barely had any contact after they have grown up. Ruan Zhiyin really didn't know. Between the two of them, what does it mean to get along well?
After thinking for a moment, Ruan Zhiyin tried to speak, "I think we should be.... respectful, gentle and polite to each other"
At least they should communicate with each other in a friendly manner.
Although she cannot expect Cheng Yuelin's temperament to be gentle all the time, he should try to be patient.
"Gentle and polite?” Cheng Yuelin repeated slowly, paused, and looked at her with a half-smile, "Just like Qin Jue?"
Ruan Zhiyin can sense that the man's emotions is not right, but she didn't know why.
Cheng Yuelin's eyes became dark, and his eyes were as deep as river. His voice became cold, "Ruan Zhiyin, I'm not Qin Jue."
Right after he finished the sentence, he opened the door and got out of the car.
He walked into the villa alone like that.His tall and straight figure showed a little indifference
Is he... angry?
Ruan Zhiyin suddenly became really confused. It was clear that he was still a little happy when he got into the car.
She froze there, puzzled and frowned slightly. She lowered her head to think about the reason, and even forgot to get out of the car.
In the silence, the driver took out a bag placed in the front sear and said respectfully, "Madam, this is what Mr. Cheng said he would give to you."
Ruan Zhiyin came to her senses and reached out to take the bag.
Then she found out there was a brand new hair dryer in the bag, exactly the same as the one she broke before.
So she became more and more puzzled.
He brought a hairdryer and obviously wanted to get along with her well, so why was he angry?

In the Qin family, even though it was late at night, the light was still on in living room.
At the entrance, as soon as the door rang, Qin Xiang immediately greeted him. The girl's voice was sweet and light: "Brother, you are back."
She then turned her back to the living room, and gestured to Qin Jue with a complex expression, indicating that he would soon have a lot to deal with.
Qin Jue instantly understood what her sister meant, nodded at her, handed the coat to Wang Ma, and then paced into the living room.
Qin's mother Fang Weilan was already sitting on the sofa, waiting for him. Her posture was elegant and dignified, but her expression was frozen like ice.
The living room was full of silence. Qin Xiang stood aside with a tense expression, and the surrounding atmosphere was depressed.
As soon as her son entered the door, Fang Weilan snorted in dissatisfaction, and immediately started "I heard that you are going to help Lin Jingfei invest in movies again?"
Qin Jue sat down expressionlessly, nodded, and explained, "Liang Xiao's movie is good, and grandpa likes it very much."
Seeing him using grandpa as excuses, Fang Weilan raised her eyebrows and said, "Qin Jue, never think you can marry Lin Jingfei. I won't let her enter the door of Qin's house!"
Qin Jue paused for a while, then remembered Ruan Zhiyin's heart-wrenching words earlier. He took off his tie with a cold expression, and his tone was a bit annoyed, "Mom, don't worry. I won't marry Jingfei."
"Won't?” Fang Weilan sneered, and then asked, "Then why did you run away from marriage so Ruan Zhiyin embarrassed Qin family?"
Fang Weilan cared family’s reputation the most. But her son made the Qin family embarrassed in front of everyone.
Qin Jue has been the outsdanding one since he was a child, but after graduating from high school, the mother-son relationship between them became more and more tense.
She is realistic person, and she cared a lot about her daughter-in-law's background, and she will never let one of the Lin family become her in-laws.The Lin family just took advantage of Ruan Zhiyin’s parents’ misfortunes and tried to took everything away.
She is mostly satisfied with Ruan Zhiyin, but she cannot stand Lin Jingfei. Her son also fought against her for the first time because of that woman.
"I can't control your thoughts, but I will never recognize Lin Jingfei as a daughter-in-law!"
Fang Weilan finished these words, put down the cup in her hand, and turned upstairs.
When Qin Xiang saw her mother leave, she came up to her brother and complained with dissatisfaction, "Brother, what the hell are you thinking? Because of your escape from marriage, I don't even dare to contact Sister Ruan."
Although she didn't want Qin's mother and Qin Jue's relationship to get worse, she also didn't want Lin Jingfei to marry Qin Jue. After all, she and Lin Jingfei had never liked each other ever since they were young.
That woman will always use some special ways to make her look stupid. On the other hand, Lin Jingfei will be the nice one in front of her brother. However, she is not as clever as Lin Jingfei, so she can do nothing even if she hate Lin.
Qin Jue sighed, frowned and explained, "I didn't run away from the marriage, but Jingfei was involved in an accident. I thought I could make it back, but then I couldn’t......I just wanted to postpone the wedding for a day."
"Then who do you like now? Don't fall into Lin Jingfei's pit again. I don't want her to be my sister-in-law!"
"Of course it's Zhiyin." Qin Jue leaned against the sofa with a tired expression, rubbing his temples, "Why do you all think I want to marry Jingfei?""
During the day, Ruan Zhiyin's words gave him a great impact, as if she was stabbing a knife into his heart. He tried his best not to let himself lose his temper in public.
"But ever since we were kids, you treated Lin Jingfei better than me!"
Qin Xiang always felt that Lin Jingfei was like Qin Jue's real younger sister. Her brother's love was always divided into two halves, and the bigger half was given to Lin Jingfei.
Qin Jue glanced at her, and calmly said, "Have you forgotten what happened when we were kids? You are both my sisters. Was I not good enough for you?"
When they were young, he and Qin Xiang lived in Ruan's house for two years for some reason. Grandma Ruan took great care of the two at that time, and when she passed away, she entrusted Qin Jue to take care of Lin Jingfei.
"But you have dated her. Will you date your sister?” Thinking of this, Qin Xiang couldn't help but muttering, "Even I know that you went abroad because she broke up with you! You love Lin Jingfei so much that you can't help youself."
Qin Jue listened, paused for a long time, and said lightly, "There is a reason for that."
Seeing his silent expression, Qin Xiang knew that he would definitely not want to tell her more about the reason he just mentoined.
"Hmph, no matter the reason, you are now pissing off Sister Ruan.“ Thinking of her own dilema recently, Qin Xiang smiled and said, “She is married to someone else now. I'll see what you can do now!""
