Chapter 114: Nothing in the Box, Please Commit Suicide

Song Chao was a very perceptive person. He knew that something was wrong, so he said decisively, "I have something else to do over there, so I'll leave first..."

After saying that, he dragged Xiao Nanxin away.

Xiao Nanxin was not a fool. She knew that something was not right. For the first time, she let him drag her obediently without resisting.

The two walked for a while.

She was not a person who could keep her composure, so she couldn't help but pull Song Chao's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Why did you look so unhappy when the old lady gave Wen Ruoci this expensive box?"

This golden nanmu box is extremely valuable and is an antique, but it is much more valuable than the bracelet on her wrist.

She didn't understand why Quan Shijin and Song Chao's faces changed and became so ugly.

Song Chao looked at her, seemingly doubting her intelligence.

"Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? How did you get into the top 20 in your grade when you were in school?"

Xiao Nanxin, "..."

"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Is there any need to attack me like this?"

She puffed her cheeks and was very dissatisfied with the Song Dynasty.

Song Chao glanced at her calmly, but still told her, "When Xun Wenruo was seriously ill, Cao Mengde sent him an empty box, telling him that the Han Dynasty, which he had defended for twenty years, no longer had any land or rice left. Everything he had defended was in vain."

Xiao Nanxin stared at him blankly, "What happened next?"

"Later." Song Chao pursed his lips, "After Xun Wenruo realized the reality, he committed suicide."

After hearing this, Xiao Nanxin was stunned.

"Does the old lady want her to die? Even if you don't like her, there's no need to let her die..."

"Who knows? Maybe that's what the old lady meant. She was telling Wen Ruoci that what she wanted would end up being nothing, just like Xun Wenruo. She wanted her to stop thinking about it and take the initiative to leave Quan Shijin. If she continued to insist, maybe her fate would really be the same as Xun Wenruo's."

Xiao Nanxin whispered, "Does Ruoci know what the old lady means?"

Song Chao pursed his lips, as if he found it very interesting, "I think she knows, otherwise her expression wouldn't be so ugly..."

Xiao Nanxin, "..."

She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

For the first time, I felt fortunate that I was not an enemy of the Song Dynasty, otherwise I would have been eaten to pieces without leaving even a bone.

I definitely can't outsmart them with my own tricks.

………………

Wen Ruoci got into Quan Shijin's car holding the box.

She didn't say a word, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking.

Quan Shijin got in the car and casually threw the antique box into the back seat. He then carried her from the passenger seat and looked at her expressionless face. His arms tightened and his voice was low and hoarse, as if coming from the deepest part of his throat. "I'm sorry."

He didn't want to see his family making things difficult for her, but this is what happened in the end.

Wen Ruoci raised her head from his arms and pursed her lips, "You didn't do anything wrong, what is there to be sorry about?"

“This empty box…”

She raised her red lips and smiled, "It's just an antique box. If I don't like it, I can just sell it. I think it's worth about 100 million or 200 million, right? The old lady gave me such an expensive gift, I'm so happy, why are you apologizing to me?"

Quan Shijin felt bitter, "You obviously know what she means."

Wen Ruoci asked back, "Know what?"

For the first time, Quan Shijin felt a little speechless, and at the same time, he also felt an indescribable uneasiness.

He would rather Wen Ruoci lost her temper with him and threw the box at him, rather than being like she was now, where she was obviously very angry but pretended to know nothing and even said nice things.

"Don't worry about what they think. When you have done what you want to do, we will go live abroad, okay?"

She sat in the man's arms, looked up at Quan Shijin, reached out her hand and gently stroked his outline, and called his name, "Quan Shijin..." He looked down at her, his eyes fixed on her, and for a moment, his pupils shrank.

He held her like this, and she could clearly feel his tense body.

"or……"

Before she finished her words, the man in front of her suddenly spoke up, "It's getting late, we should go back and rest."

After saying that, he placed the person in the passenger seat and considerately fastened her seat belt.

Wen Ruoci was sitting in the passenger seat. She could see Quan Shijin's handsome profile with just a glance. She felt a little sad for some reason.

There is also an indescribable sadness.

She said little along the way.

He supported his chin with one hand, looked at the scenery outside the window, silent, as if thinking.

After arriving at Dijing Manor, Quan Shijin carried the person horizontally from the car and walked towards the house, saying as he walked, "I see you didn't eat much for dinner. I'll ask the kitchen to make you something you like."

He had told the old lady that she couldn't eat spicy food, and the dishes on the table were indeed not very spicy, but she didn't like them very much either. In addition, the dining atmosphere was so bad that she didn't eat many bites.

She was silent for a while, her chin resting on his shoulder, "I don't want to eat, I want to go back and rest."

The man coaxed her in a low voice, "Irregular meals can easily cause stomachaches."

Wen Ruoci looked at him, was silent for a while, and then said, "Okay, I'll go take a shower first."

After entering the house, Wen Ruoci went upstairs. The man stood under the bright light, with almost no expression on his handsome face, only his eyes closely following the figure going up the stairs.

He didn't look away until she completely disappeared from his sight, then he turned sideways and walked towards the kitchen.

Wen Ruoci filled the bathtub with hot water, took off her clothes and soaked herself in the water.

The warm water seemed to soften her nerve endings. She had been tense since coming out of the Quan family's old house, and now she felt a little relieved.

She lay on the edge of the bathtub, closed her eyes sleepily, and wanted to rest for a moment in the warmth.

From the very beginning, she knew that she and Quan Shijin would not last long. In fact, she never expected to be with Quan Shijin for the rest of her life.

She just wanted to enjoy this moment of warmth.

She is so lonely and so alone...

She just didn't expect that the moment that would force her to separate would come so soon.

The food had been prepared in the kitchen, but the woman who went upstairs to take a shower had not come down yet, so Quan Shijin went upstairs to call for her.

I opened the bathroom door and found her sleeping in the bathtub.

The water also began to cool.

Fortunately, the weather is not so cold now, otherwise I would definitely catch a cold.

Quan Shijin pulled the person out of the bathtub, not caring whether his clothes got wet.

The moment Quan Shijin picked her up, she woke up dazedly, but she was still not fully conscious. Looking at the man in front of her, she seemed to remember something, "By the way, where is the box?"

"Why are you thinking about that box? Throw it away."

Wen Ruoci leaned her head against his chest and muttered softly, "Why throw it away? It's worth several hundred million. Even if I sell it at a discount, it will be at least one hundred million."

Quan Shijin lowered his eyes and looked at her, "Are you so short of money?"

She had just woken up, her mind was still a little confused, and she muttered, "I don't need it, but this is the breakup fee your grandmother gave me. How can I just throw it away? After all, you are the young master of the Quan family, and the breakup fee is more generous than others, hundreds of millions..."

She was so disappointed that she just threw it away...

As soon as the words fell, the man holding her stopped walking, his eyes seemed to be fixed on her, and his voice seemed to jump out from his throat.

"What did you say just now?"

She woke up instantly.
