Bab 30: All Alone, Empty, Cold, and Lonely

Editor: Atlas Studios

"So, you're blaming me now?" he asked with a smile.

"Who else should I blame?"

Having recalled that they were no longer going on their honeymoon trip, An Xiaoning asked, "Are you going back to the office for work?"

"Not for a while. Though we're not going on our honeymoon trip anymore, I'd like to take a few days' break. Unfortunately, without my wife at home, I'll be all alone, empty, cold, and lonely."

"…" An Xiaoning sneered, "You'll be lonely and empty? Go look for the goddess of your dreams, then."

He kept his eyes fixed on the traffic in front and did not answer.

The car pulled up at a spot not too far away from her workplace. An Xiaoning adjusted her face mask and alighted.

——

Jin Qingyan drove away. His stare turned cold the moment he was reminded of her words earlier.

"Babylifewasgoodtomebutyoujustmadeitbetternull:Ilovethewayitstandbymethroughanykindofweathernull..." went his ringtone. He pulled over again to answer the call.

"Hello."

"Qingyan, would you be sad if I died?"

"Rui'er, did something happen to you?"

"I don't wish to live anymore… beep beep," said Chi Rui'er. The sound of the call ending followed.

Not having a single idea of what had happened, Jin Qingyan rushed over hurriedly and arrived at Chi Rui'er's place in no time.

After he pressed the doorbell multiple times, the door finally opened slowly. Chi Rui'er stood at the door, pale as a sheet, clad in loosely-fitted pajamas. Her eyes were swollen; she seemed to have cried for a long time.

"Qingyan, he doesn't want me anymore," she cried with sorrow while hugging him tightly.

Startled, Jin Qingyan entered the house while holding her in his arms and closed the door behind him.

"What actually happened?"

Chi Rui'er remained silent and continued to tear up uncontrollably.

"Have you eaten?"

"No," she answered, shaking her head.

He stood up and headed to the kitchen, only to realize that there were only some bell peppers, noodles, and eggs left in the refrigerator.

Thus, he made her a bowl of noodles with the ingredients he had found. "Quick, eat up."

Chi Rui'er broke into tears again as she looked at him. "Qingyan, I must've been so lucky to have met you. Ever since we met, you're the only one who's genuinely treated me well, all these years, regardless of what happened. I was blind not to treasure you. But now, you already have a lawful wife," she said as she continued to cry even harder.

With trembling fingers, she picked up the chopsticks and struggled to pick up a few strands of noodles. She then pushed the noodles into her mouth and ate slowly.

Jin Qingyan remained quiet as he watched her finish the bowl of noodles. He then reached into the pocket of his suit for a clean, white handkerchief and handed it to her.

Chi Rui'er took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, then held it in her hand.

"Deep down, I've always known that I wasn't the only reason why you and Gu Beicheng don't get along. He's also your rival in business. Well, he's not going to treat me well if he doesn't genuinely love me. I've always found myself stuck in ironic circumstances my whole life. Some things are always around when I don't want them. Yet when I do want them, I often realize that they're no longer there," she reflected solemnly.

"Rui'er, what do you want most, now?" Jin Qingyan asked.

"I want someone who's constantly by my side, to love and take care of me. Qingyan, if I didn't get together with Gu Beicheng, would you still have married that woman?"

"You want the truth?" he asked.

"Of course. So, would you?"

"No. Are you happy with that answer?" asked Jin Qingyan as they exchanged glances.

A smile hung from the corner of Chi Rui'er's lips. As expected, she was the one he loved the most.

However, she was also the one who had let him down.

Holding her head in her hands, she felt a lump form in her throat and tears began to well up in her eyes. She continued to speak, "How I wish I could turn back the clock. Perhaps then, I wouldn't be in such misery now. Truthfully, I had wanted to be with you back then, it's just that your mother and grandma detested me. They even said a lot of unpleasant things to me, which I could not tolerate any further. It was cowardly of me. Qingyan, I know it's all too late now, but I'd still like to say it. I made a wrong decision. I should've chosen you back then. But sadly, it's impossible to rewrite the past and start all over again."

She stood up and said, "You may leave. I'd like to be alone for a while."

"Rui'er."

Gazing at him, Chi Rui'er said, "Qingyan, I'm too ashamed to bring up the past. Neither do I deserve the right to ask you to divorce your wife and be with me. That's just wrong. So, just leave. I'll sort my emotions out on my own. I'll be fine after I get over it."

She returned to her bedroom and locked the door.

Jin Qingyan headed to the supermarket below her house and bought a ton of food and beverage, which he stored in her refrigerator. He then left a note on the table which read: Have your meals, and take good care of yourself.

The bedroom door opened just as he left. Chi Rui'er began to tear up again at the sight of the well-stocked refrigerator and the note on the table.

What others were unaware of was that he would treat her well, regardless of what she had become or how many men she had dated. She, however, was well aware of that fact. After all, she had once risked her life to save his. Back then, he had told her on the operating table that he would marry her at once, as long as she agreed.

However, she had told him that she did not want to marry him, simply because she was in love with Gu Beicheng then. She did not have eyes for Jin Qingyan for she had loved Gu Beicheng with all her heart.

She had managed to save his life purely by coincidence. Yet, he had fallen in love with her unexpectedly and stayed in love since then.

She had witnessed the times where he was enraged after finding out about her relationship with Gu Beicheng, the times where he threw tantrums, and the times where he was helpless. That day, she had also witnessed yet again how well he treated her. Ah… his wife must be lucky. Isn't it a little too late to only realize it now? she thought to herself.

She broke down at the very instant that Gu Beicheng told her, that there was no need for them to see each other anymore in the future.

Gu Beicheng had never been intimate with her. Even a kiss was considered too much to him.

In her opinion, the relationship had ended before it even began.

As her mobile phone rang, Chi Rui'er took a glimpse of the caller display. Exasperated, she answered the call, "What else do you want?"

"Don't let Father wait too long, my obedient daughter. Come home, quick."

"My biological father had already passed away for years. A hypocrite like you doesn't deserve to be my Father!"

"Oh, I see you can't be tamed now that you're all grown up, is that so? I'll ask you again, are you coming home or not?!"

"I'm not!" she ended the call right away.

A thought had struck her mind and she proceeded to turn off her phone straight up.

She sprawled onto her bed and began crying out loud again, the moment she returned to her bedroom.

After about half an hour, the doorbell began to ring endlessly.

Chi Rui'er sprung up, zoomed towards the door and peeked through the peephole. Upon seeing who it was, she sped back inside her room, her shock sending a chill down her spine.

She hurriedly proceeded to give Jin Qingyan a call.

Having just arrived back home, Jin Qingyan received a call from her again.

Remaining inside her bedroom, she pleaded for him to make his way there quickly. Having heard her shaky voice, which sounded like she was crying, he had no choice but to make another trip down to her place again.

Chi Rui'er felt more and more worried with each passing minute as she waited anxiously for his arrival.


Bab 31: Wow, How Amazing

Finally, he came back again.

Only when he was around did she dare to open the door. Her stepfather glared at her until she had goosebumps, yet she managed to pluck up her courage to ask, "What are you doing here?"

"I was passing by, so I decided to come and see you. Oh, Rui'er, come home and see us more often, don't always stay outside."

"I know. If there's nothing else, go home — I'm going out."

"Okay then, you guys go out. I'll wait for you here, I have some private matters to talk to you about."

"Do what you want." Chi Rui'er went to Jin Qingyan's car and said immediately, "Qingyan, can I stay at your house? My stepfather is a monster, I'm scared of him — he keeps harassing me."

She wanted to be honest with him so that he would cherish and protect her more.

"Why didn't you say earlier?" Jin Qingyan drove out of that place immediately. "Can you stay at my other house?"

"Can I stay in the same house with you?" Her eyes were pleading. "Will it make things difficult for you?"

Jin Qingyan said honestly, "I'm living in the same house as her. If you move in, she'll get upset."

"Sorry."

"Live in my other house. There are people guarding it. Don't feel burdened, tell them if you need anything." His car drove directly to his other villa.

"Okay. Will you come often?"

"Yes, that's my private headquarters."

"Mei Yangyang, are you dead? Why do you take forever just to get some clothes!" The wardrobe attendant was evidently bad-tempered. It was not the first time An Xiaoning had heard such words.

She frowned and saw that Mei Yangyang was not bothered. She cheerfully replied, "Coming, coming!"

The wardrobe attendant took the clothes. Mei Yangyang turned around and waved at An Xiaoning, "Sister, let's go home."

The two left the set side by side. They had a busy day, and their legs were aching badly. They bought two corns from a street stall and had one each. An Xiaoning tried to pass the money to her, but Mei Yangyang refused to accept it. The two finally reached a compromise when An Xiaoning promised to give her a treat next time.

Both of them took the same route, so they sat together on their bus ride back home. They were not chatting for long before Mei Yangyang reached her stop. An Xiaoning continued her bus ride alone.

By the time she reached home, she collapsed onto the sofa like a pool of mud.

"Auntie Chen, help me heat up a glass of milk."

"Sure, Young Madam, please wait a moment."

She closed her eyes and rubbed her temples. Maomao had already run over, seemingly excited about her return.

"Dog-son, have you eaten?"

Maomao stuck out its tongue and cheerfully wagged its tail. Looking at its round watery eyes, An Xiaoning felt happily at ease.

"Boss, that fellow is calling again!"

Seeing that it was a call from Mei Yangyang, she hurriedly answered it. "Yangyang."

"Sister, my younger sister's form teacher called to inform me she'd skipped classes these few days again. I'm thinking she might have gone to the bar or club with those friends of hers again, but the previous time I went to a bar, I almost couldn't come out. So can I ask if you'd go there with me to find her?"

"Sure, see you there later."

"Okay."

An Xiaoning went upstairs to change her clothes and armed herself with a small knife. After all, places like bars and clubs were quite messy. She had only agreed to go because she felt it was unsafe for Mei Yangyang to go alone.

After going downstairs and drinking her glass of milk, she instructed, "Auntie Chen, if Qingyan comes back and asks where I went, please tell him I went out with my friends."

"Sure, Young Madam."

She quickened her footsteps and went to meet Mei Yangyang.

"This is not the first time already. I told her — if you hate school so much then stop going, get a job to share the burden for the household. If you like going to school, then do it properly. Sister, don't you agree with me?" Mei Yangyang was ridden with worry.

An Xiaoning nodded. "That's right, don't use school as an excuse to waste your life away. How old is she?"

"Eighteen. She's in her third year of high school already."

"Eighteen, and she's still so immature. Yangyang, there are many bars and clubs here. Are we suppose to look in each and every one of them?"

"No, I heard from her classmates. She likes to go to Night Genie bar and a club nearby — the name is in English, I'm not too sure." Mei Yangyang held onto her arm. "Sister, do you think there's a way to stop her from hanging out with bad company?"

"Does she listen to your parents?"

Mei Yangyang shook her head. "She has her way all the time. Because she's the youngest in the family, my parents spoiled her. Plus, my mother is in this state now, my father doesn't bother caring about her anymore. Who knew that she would get out of control? She turns a deaf ear to my words now, I can't get through to her."

"She's gone wild, but you can't keep finding her everyday. It's best if you can pull her back to the right path in time, but it can't be helped even if you can't."

Mei Yangyang nodded in agreement.

The duo reached Night Genie bar, but maybe because it was still early and the bar just opened, there were only a few people inside.

But because there were few people, it was easier to search.

Through a gap from a door left ajar, Mei Yangyang recognized her own sister immediately. She swiftly pushed the door wide open.

"Mei Shuangshuang! Go home with me!"

Mei Shuangshuang sat in between two boys and was giggling away, but once she saw her own sister who came searching for her, her smile faded and she replied, "I'm not going home, don't care about me."

An Xiaoning pointed out, "Your sister is worried about you — that's why she came to look for you. You should go home with her."

"Who are you? It's none of your business." Mei Shuangshuang turned nasty. "Some Tom, Dick or Harry is here acting like a saint. Wow, how amazing."

Mei Yangyang saw her rude manner and went forward to grab her hair, dragging her out forcefully. "Today, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of our parents."

"I won't go back!" Mei Shuangshuang exerted all her strength to break free. The people around her helped her too, and they drove Mei Yangyang and An Xiaoning out before locking the door shut.

Mei Yangyang turned around and ran. An Xiaoning followed behind her. "Where are you going?"

"To find the boss."

She ran so fast that she was gone in a blink of an eye. An Xiaoning looked around and went to the first floor to find her.

After asking the bartender, Mei Yangyang went up to the second floor from another staircase.

She recognized the door before her. It was definitely the right one. She remembered that a man had let her use it as a changing room.

Seeing that the door wasn't closed, she just went in.

On the bed lay a man — could that be the boss?

She cautiously went forward and shouted, "Excuse me, are you the boss here?"

There was no response.

She leaned forward and raised her voice, "Are you the boss of this bar?!"

A pair of arms suddenly stretched out towards her and pressed her body down. This sudden movement left Mei Yangyang petrified. His whole head burrowed deeply into the crook of her neck; his face could not be seen at all.

Mei Yangyang struggled desperately. "Let go of me!"
