Chapter 132 Stepping on the bottom line

Wen Ruoci recovered her memory and accepted it calmly, without any signs of breakdown. Ghana was relieved after the examination.

He didn't stay in the capital for long and was anxious to go back.

After all, Flanders is dying.

He still hopes to be able to spend more time with his good friend before he passes away.

Garner left soon.

Although Wen Ruoci seemed normal, she was obviously in a daze more often than before.

Sometimes I sit on the sofa and fall asleep hugging a pillow.

When Quan Shijin came in from outside, he saw Wen Ruoci had fallen asleep again, with her long hair covering her face.

He walked over, leaned over, lifted her long hair, revealing her delicate face and her peaceful sleepy eyes.

His slender fingers with light calluses brushed across her face. He looked at her face, his mind moved for a moment, bent down and kissed her between the eyebrows, then held her in his arms.

He looked at the person in front of him dazedly, as if he was not awake yet.

In this half-asleep and half-awake state, she is the type who can seduce people without realizing it.

Quan Shijin couldn't help himself and bent down to kiss her again. This time he lingered on her lips for a long time before letting go.

Finally, he stroked her face and spoke in a low voice, "Why don't you go back to your room and sleep?"

She opened her eyes, looked at the face so close to her, and called out his name.

"Shijin."

"Ok?"

She murmured, "Shijin, do you really like me or do you pity me?"

The man's dark eyes moved, and he looked at her incredulously, "What are you talking about?"

Wen Ruoci lowered her eyes slightly, "You must have hated me at that time, right?"

Quan Shijin smiled, "When have I ever hated you?"

Wen Ruoci was held in his arms, still with her eyes downcast, not looking at him much, as if she was immersed in those memories alone.

"Because I locked you in a cage and didn't let you out, so that you could only look at me and belong to me alone, so you hate me, don't you?"

Quan Shijin's tone faded a little, but he still said, "I have never hated you."

Wen Ruoci looked up at him, "Even if I locked you in a cage at that time, you wouldn't hate me?"

That incident was not a pleasant memory for Quan Shijin, but the magical thing was that when he recalled it, he actually didn't hate it at all.

This was once said in the Song Dynasty.

Is it true that as long as Wen Ruoci does something, even if it crosses his bottom line, he will tolerate it unconditionally?

So he hummed.

Wen Ruoci raised her eyes and looked at him.
"But you scolded me, saying that I have a bad temper and a sharp personality. No wonder I have no friends and no one wants to play with me, so I can only force you to play with me."

Quan Shijin, "..."

At that time he was kidnapped and finally thought he was rescued, but he was taken back and locked in a cage.

Which normal person can stand this? Wouldn’t he curse a few times?
Not to mention that at that time he was still the most favored young master of the Quan family.

I have never been insulted like this.

He kissed her on the cheek.
"Yes, I did scold you, but that was a normal reaction. Didn't you let me out later? Was I not nice to you during that time?"

Wen Ruoci's fingers curled up slightly, and her expression was still filled with loneliness. "Yes, then I let you out of the cage, and you stayed with me every day. When I was sick, you took care of me, coaxed me to sleep every night, and told me many interesting stories.

But wasn't that really your way of paralyzing me? Just to make me let down my guard, to make me believe that you would always be with me, to make me trust you without reservation, and then find a chance to leave and never show up in front of me again? "After Professor Garner left, she actually thought seriously about why she was so impulsive and wanted to burn down the villa.

It was probably because she couldn't accept that Quan Shijin left without saying a word, had been lying to her from beginning to end, and abandoned her, leaving her alone.

Now her father, the only person who cared about her, is dead.

Besides wanting to take revenge on Tang Ning and Mu Tianen.

More importantly, she felt that the pain in that place was greater than the happiness for her...

So it was the most instinctive reaction of a person.

Destroy everything that you hate.

Quan Shijin closed his eyes. "I left that year because the Quan family found me. I wanted to explain the situation to them and then come back to explain it to you. But I didn't expect that when I went back to find you again, that place had become a ruin..."

"I thought you were dead for so many years, and I've always felt sorry..."

Wen Ruoci looked at the sunset through the floor-to-ceiling window. The afterglow was so beautiful that it seemed like an illusion.

"What do you regret? Are you sorry for not saying goodbye to me properly? No matter what, I was the one who brought you out of the kidnapper's lair, so I can be considered your lifesaver."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, "Young Master Quan has always been able to control everything in his life, but he failed with me. After returning home, he found that He Ci and I were in a mess, so you felt pity for him and personally joined the game to help me get rid of him..."

The expression on Quan Shijin's face had turned cold. "Do you really have to doubt my sincerity? If I really just want to help you, do I have to gamble the rest of my life?"

Wen Ruoci pursed her lips and said nothing more.

In this world, there are all kinds of emotions.

It's hard to have a single emotion.

Maybe Quan Shijin wanted to help her at first, but maybe he fell in love with her later, who knows.

At this time, the cell phone rang.

The sudden sound echoed in the silent room, bringing both people's thoughts back to reality.

The man put the person down and picked up the phone.

He took a look and saw that it was a call from the old house.

Recalling the unpleasantness that had occurred in the old house before, he didn't want to answer the call, but the other party kept calling, so he could only run to the balcony to answer the call.

"whats the matter?"

The housekeeper could vaguely sense Quan Shijin's displeasure, but he still spoke up, "Young Master, the old lady hopes that you will bring Miss Wen back to the old house for dinner."

"Not interested, no reply."

Before Quan Shijin was about to hang up the phone, the housekeeper hurriedly said, "Young Master, the old lady asked me to convey a message to you. She said that after you listen to it, you will change your opinion."

Quan Shijin frowned.

"What?"

"The old lady said that she agrees that you and Miss Wen can be together, and she hopes that you can bring Miss Wen back to settle this matter."

Hearing this, Quan Shijin's brows furrowed even more, and he was skeptical about this matter.

"Did she really say that? Did anything important happen recently?"

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, but still told Quan Shijin, "Two guests came, and after the old lady talked with them, she changed her mind."

The man asked, "What guest?"

The housekeeper said, "I don't know either. Only the old lady knows about this matter. Young Master, whether or not to bring Miss Wen back is entirely up to you."

After saying this, he added another sentence.

"The old lady said that if you don't take Miss Wen back today, she might not agree next time. This is your only chance today."
