Chapter 118

How unruly must she be in front of her husband to tease him like this?
I am also speechless about this.

Luo Zhouheng, who was imprisoned in a cotton doll, felt like a dumb person eating bitter herbs - a feeling of frustration that he couldn't express.

This was not the Ning Ruchu he remembered.

Although sometimes I feel fortunate that she is not who I think she is.

But this situation now made Luo Zhouheng feel very uncomfortable.

The two of them were talking, completely ignoring his existence.

A cold voice suddenly came into his mind, causing Ning Ruochu's heart to tremble slightly.

"Does Madam Luo still remember her title?"

Ning Ruochu's pupils were wandering, and her eyeballs looked slightly downward. She glanced at the cotton doll in her arms, feeling a little surprised.

She smiled slightly and said to Xie Cixing: "Master Xie, please don't worry about the matters between us as husband and wife."

With his hands, he gently stroked the cotton doll's head, as if to comfort it.

"My dear Ah Heng seems to be a little unbalanced."

It was still that sweet tone, which made Luo Zhouheng's soul tremble.

"Don't worry, I love you the most." Ning Ruchu combed the cotton doll's hair with her fingertips, gently as if soothing a well-behaved kitten.

Subconsciously, her voice was cheerful and tender, but her expression did not change when facing Xie Cixing.

Luo Zhouheng's soul was tense and he didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment.

Ning Ruochu has become more and more unbridled recently, making him wonder if they are the same person.

"What on earth are you playing at?" Luo Zhouheng's cold words were full of warnings.

Going to great lengths to forge an identity and reunite with one's biological parents can be understood as discarding one's external identity and testing one's sincerity.

Then why did she marry him and give up the rest of her life?
Although he is dead now, his soul has been preserved, allowing him to live in another way.

All of this is really hard to understand.

Luo Zhouheng felt depressed and secretly hated himself for never noticing anything wrong with Ning Ruchu for such a long time.

He sneered: "It seems that I really need to care about you more."

Xie Cixing had mentioned Ning Ruchu to him many times in private.

It's said cryptically.

At that time, Luo Zhouheng just thought it was a reminder for him to be careful about people around him being taken advantage of.

Now it seems that his worries were not unfounded.

This short sentence seemed to stimulate Ning Ruchu's brain nerves.

Her pupils flickered and she blinked, and her teasing voice echoed deep in Luo Zhouheng's soul: "My husband is so good!"

These four simple words, coupled with Ning Ruchu's immersed tone, forced Luo Zhouheng into silence.

Looking up, Xie Cixing left because of her teasing and meaningless reply.

Ning Ruchu chased after him, and the cotton doll in his arms shifted to a different position, with its eyes facing her.

Luo Zhouheng stared at her face for a long time before looking away.

He was aware of his current situation and that he completely depended on Ning Ruchu. He also understood the importance of knowing when to stop and not being greedy.

But some things must be made clear.

Keeping someone you don't trust around you is a form of indulgence, and it's enough to do it once.

"Thank you, Master!"

Ning Ruochu called out to Xie Cixing who was about to enter the banquet hall.

He turned his head, his face unusually serious.

"Mrs. Luo called me, it had better be something important. I don't want to be accused of 'taking advantage of the situation', lest my reputation and Ah Heng's reputation be damaged."

This was the first time Ning Ruchu heard the name "Aheng" from his mouth. It seemed that he cared a lot about their previous friendship.

"Did you make Sheng Qianwei look bad?" Ning Ruochu asked.

Those present were all wealthy people and they would deliberately keep their distance.

When the incident happened, she looked over deliberately. The people next to Sheng Qianwei were all quite far away from her, so she wouldn't have been tripped.

Moreover, she had been well-mannered since childhood, so even if her clothes were inconvenient to wear and her old leg injury recurred, she could not have looked so miserable.

In particular, Xie Cixing's appearance was so timely, and those words were clearly directed at Sheng Qianwei.

What's more, there is someone with internal strength by her side, so it is easy for her to hit the bull from a distance.

"Mrs. Luo really wronged me. I am so far away from Miss Sheng, how could I have done this?"

Thinking of the scene just now, Xie Cixing's mouth corners couldn't help but rise. He couldn't control it anymore and put his hand over his mouth to cover it.

Such a reaction couldn't be more obvious.

Ning Ruchu didn't know whether she was influenced by him or was secretly delighted by Sheng Qianwei's embarrassing scene, but she also laughed.

After controlling his emotions, the smile in Xie Ci's starry eyes gradually faded.

"Don't take those words to heart." He comforted, "No matter who Luo Zhouheng likes, all his money is yours anyway."

Ning Ruochu smiled softly, "Second Master Xie's way of comforting people is different from that of ordinary people, but it is very effective."

Zhou Yun arrived late, worried that Ning Ruchu would be bullied, so she hurriedly caught up, but what she saw was Xie Cixing's figure.

"Thank you, Master?"

She bowed her head and gestured, then walked in front of Ning Ruchu.

"Ma'am, I just received an emergency call and I'm not with you. Are you okay?"

Ning Ruochu felt that Ling Chuan was overprotective of her, but she was a little girl with a fragile heart, so wasn't it normal to take care of her emotions?

She shook her head, "I'm fine."

Mr. Xie is also here, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Zhou Yun added: "When I came here, Miss Dong stopped me and told me something."

She glanced at Xie Cixing beside her and continued, "Miss Dong asked you to stay away from Miss Sheng as much as possible, and also wanted to ask you if you would attend Avarosa Fashion Week."

"Fashion Week?" Ning Ruochu raised an eyebrow. "I heard that this fashion week has been delayed for a long time, and the exact date is still unclear."

"Just now, the organizers in Florence announced that the Fall/Winter Fashion Week will be held on April 4, which is the Tuesday after next."

Zhou Yun added, "Two designers under Luo's company were invited."

Moreover, Avarosa Fashion Week is a major event for the global fashion design industry. As Luo's group is a consortium covering multiple fields, Ning Ruchu has enough reasons to go there.

She hesitated, fully demonstrating the qualities that a puppet should have.

"I'll ask Secretary Ling later and give her an answer."

Zhou Yun nodded and continued, "Secretary Ling called me and said that the rain was too heavy and it would be dangerous for Madam to return to Pearl Island. He asked you to stay in the apartment in the city center tonight."

Xie Cixing's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately said, "This banquet is meaningless."

"Aheng believes in me, so I also have to believe in everything he left behind." Ning Ruochu's voice was still crying, her nasal tone was a little heavy and had a bit of softness, but her tone was so firm that it touched people's hearts.

"So, I will support you and trust you unconditionally. As for what you just said about changing the guards, Secretary Ling..."

She paused, her eyes slightly turned, and she glanced at the half-open door intentionally or unintentionally. "This incident happened too suddenly, and no one had time to react. Commander Yeyue caught the killer in a very short time. She is very capable at work. I feel at ease with her by my side."

Ling Chuan frowned, secretly sighing at Ning Ruchu's naivety.

Things like killers sneaking in never happened when the gentleman was here.

This time, the other party almost succeeded, and it was obvious that the security personnel deliberately let it go.

However, all the organizations under Luo Zhouheng's name have separate powers and functions, and they are not allowed to interfere with each other.

Ling Chuan is only responsible for the company, so even if he is no longer confident that Ye Yue will protect Ning Ruchu, he has to accept it.

He could only bow slightly: "It's all as Madam wishes. I won't disturb you while you eat."

After saying that, he turned and left, his eyes thoughtful.

With Luo Zhouheng's order, Ning Ruchu's life would indeed not be in danger.

But she was timid and had never experienced any big scenes.

When her husband came back injured, just a glance at him from a distance would scare her so much that she wouldn't dare to get close.

If this happens several times, it might have an impact on her psychology.

He needs to take some countermeasures.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I turned around and saw Yeyue leaning against the door.

Ling Chuan frowned and was about to blame, but suddenly remembered that she was now Ning Ruchu's personal bodyguard, and the door of Ning Ruchu's room was indeed where she should be.

He suppressed his impatience, closed the door, and spoke to her directly: "Since Madam trusts you so much, please be loyal and responsible. This is also what Master expects."

Ye Yue looked disdainful and turned away: "I know my limits."

Ling Chuan was filled with anger, but he couldn't do anything to her, so he could only give up and leave.

Inside the house, Ning Ruchu looked at the cotton doll that was placed in the dining room facing her, and a feeling of helplessness arose in her heart.

Even with so many loyal subordinates escorting him, uncertainties still exist.

Luo is his surname and the Luo family are his relatives.

But after his grandparents and parents passed away, he became lonely and had to bear everything on his own.

The Luo family, on the contrary, became the closest threat to him.

Therefore, after planning to marry Ning Ruchu, he began to prepare everything.

But this accident was too sudden, even he was not prepared, let alone others?
Especially the Shadow Pavilion, his most loyal force.

……

Security measures have been unprecedentedly strengthened. If any visitor from outside wants to come in, Ye Yue must personally inform Ning Ruchu and obtain her consent.

When Yeyue came over, Ning Ruchu was fiddling with the eco-box in the room.

Her bedroom is very large. In addition to the usual facilities, there are several reptile breeding boxes that occupy an entire wall.

The creatures raised there are all terrifying creatures such as snakes and scorpions.

Ning Ruochu held a pair of tweezers in his hand, and the breeding box in front of him was opened. A snake as thick as two fingers was slowly wriggling. The blue-brown back had a metallic luster, and the snake scales reflected bright pearl-like light such as steel blue, bright green, blood red, and purple copper, which was very gorgeous!

The pink and lively baby rat was clamped by tweezers. In front of these animals that ordinary people were afraid of, Ning Ruchu looked strangely calm.

It reached its arm into the feeding box and passed the baby mouse to the snake's mouth. The snake bit the mouse and wrapped its body around it, then slowly enjoyed it.

Ye Yue's eyes flashed, and she said, "Sheng Qianwei is here."

She started from a weak position, and Ning Ruchu followed suit.

She said that the marriage was not voluntary, and Ning Ruochu emphasized that it was Luo Zhouheng who insisted on it.

With one move, Ning Ruchu took the initiative and gained the advantage.

It also makes Sheng Qianwei look like a clown.

But she didn't intend to give up and continued to add fuel to the fire: "It's a pity that Ah Heng is dead. There is no point in saying all this. Besides, all of this should have been yours."

Ning Ruochu looked around the villa.

Sheng Qianwei wanted to prove that Luo Zhouheng was in love with her, and Ning Ruchu helped her by using magic to defeat magic.

What's more, reality is always hurtful.

The smile on Sheng Qianwei's face froze, jealousy surged in her heart, and her eyes stared at Ning Ruchu.

These words completely hit her sore spot.

Three years ago, the Luo family's land reclamation and island building project was completed, and Mr. Luo gave the best Pearl Island to Luo Zhouheng as his private property.

It was during a visit to Mr. Luo that Sheng Qianwei happened to hear him mention that Mingzhu Island was to be used as Luo Zhouheng's wedding house.

When the villa was completed, she even sighed: "The scenery of Pearl Island is so beautiful, it must be very happy to live there. I really envy Zhou Heng and his wife."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Luo directly invited her to visit the completed villa.

Let her take the Luo Group’s yacht to enjoy the island scenery.

Sheng Qianwei thought that her marriage was imminent. When Mr. Luo's health was failing and he urged Luo Zhouheng to get married, she was certain that person would be her.

Unexpectedly, the person who moved in was a worthless country girl, who forced her to leave.

Ning Ruochu stared at Sheng Qianwei with her dark, round, bright almond eyes, and asked with concern: "Miss Sheng, are you okay? Why do you look so bad?"

"I..." Sheng Qianwei had just uttered a word when she suddenly felt something cold under her feet.

She looked down and saw a pitch-black object attached to her leg, slowly climbing up.

Sheng Qianwei focused her eyes and after recognizing what it was, her pupils shrank. She jumped onto the sofa without caring about her image and let out a deafening scream.

"what--!"

The housekeeper and the servants were all frightened, and Ning Ruchu immediately withdrew his hand in shock.

Sheng Qianwei pointed at her calf, "Scorpion... Scorpion!!"

She stomped on the sofa frantically, shaking her legs.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of the scorpion.

Sheng Qianwei was frightened and frantically pointed at the servants who were watching, and said in a commanding tone: "Get it down for me now!!"

Some people wanted to step forward to help, but were stopped by Butler Chen.

"Everyone, don't act rashly. That scorpion is poisonous. I'll contact a specialist to deal with it right away!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Sheng Qianwei's tears fell like pearls from a broken string.

Fear gripped her heart like an icy poisonous snake, making it impossible for her to breathe.

He actually calmed down, standing there stiffly, not daring to move at all.

Instead, it gave the scorpion a chance, and its stinger pierced into the skin and came out in an instant.

Sheng Qianwei only felt a momentary sting, and the nerves in her calves gradually became numb.

Before Butler Chen's call could be made, the door of the villa was opened again, and a team with tight security came in at the right time.

Seeing the black object on Sheng Qianwei's leg, they hurried over and surrounded Ning Ruchu.

"Don't be afraid, ma'am. We will handle it as soon as possible!"

Sheng Qianwei felt like she had found a savior. The tears that she had been holding back due to fear began to flow again. She collapsed and yelled, "Get it away from me quickly!!"

Ning Ruochu seemed to be frightened by Sheng Qianwei's reaction. She trembled and curled up in a corner of the sofa, pointing at the scorpion with a black body and an exceptionally thick tail with a worried look.
