Chapter 144 Secret Expectations

Wen Ruoci raised her eyes and looked at him, "What's the point of you saying this now?"

Quan Shijin held her down and asked her to finish listening.

"After I realized that I really liked you, I couldn't wait to ask the housekeeper to bring me to find you. However, at that time, the Mu family had become a ruin. It must be difficult for you to imagine that the moment I knew you were dead, I felt as if there was an empty space in my heart. I wasn't in so much pain, but I always felt as if I had no interest in doing anything, as if nothing could make me excited. I was like a pool of stagnant water. Living one more day or one less day made no difference. It was not until I accidentally saw the billboard of the jewelry you endorsed while abroad that I suddenly felt my heart beating for the first time in a long time. At that time, I thought that I seemed to be alive again.

So, I can't wait to come back and find you.

But I didn't expect that you and He Ci were already married. At that time, my only thought was, if He Ci was not good to you, could I snatch you away from you?
What happened later was that you and He Ci did have a big fight, but the reason for your fight was not what I imagined.

All the hatred between you is based on love.

You are willing to divorce, but you don't want to hurt He Ci.

He Ci hates you, but also loves you. He holds your hand tightly and refuses to let go. He is unwilling to get a divorce.

At that time, I was actually thinking, if He Ci was unwilling to divorce in the end, should I consider making you a widow? "

Wen Ruoci never knew that Quan Shijin had thought about such a dark thing, "You..."

Quan Shijin looked at her and said softly, "Ruoci, you said you are so important to me that I can get my hands stained with blood for you. You said you want me to give up on you, are you trying to kill me?
But it doesn't matter. Instead of letting you go and letting your heart be tortured by you, it would be better for you to kill me directly. It would be more comfortable. After all, you have no desire to live after acquiring Yunding Group, right? If we all die, at least we will have a companion on the road to the underworld..."

"you……"

For the first time, Wen Ruoci didn't know what to say.

She lowered her eyes and said calmly, "But the Quan family won't agree with us being together."

"I'm not my uncle, I don't need their consent. I said, after you settle this matter, we can live abroad forever without their consent. Do you have to get their acceptance?"

Wen Ruoci shook her head.

She didn't need their consent, just...

“I think it’s going to be hard for you.”

Quan Shijin just laughed, "How could that be? How could I feel tired? You can't understand my feelings at all."

The feeling of regaining what you lost, and the illusion of being alive again.

He hugged her, "I know you had to break up with me because you didn't want the Quan family and the Mu family to join forces to make it more difficult for you to acquire Genting Group, so I promised you to move out of Dijing Manor and create a situation where we had broken up. I even asked Lin Miao to cooperate with me, but I didn't expect that you would really ignore everything after the breakup. Even when rumors came out, you didn't even ask me to call."

In the end, there was actually a sense of accusation in it.

Wen Ruoci whispered, "We've broken up, why are you still in touch? It's not your freedom to be with whoever you want."

The man narrowed his eyes and looked at her dangerously, "What are you talking about?"

Wen Ruoci shuddered all over, "No, nothing. So now Lin Miao is your girlfriend on paper, and you are using her to confuse the Quan family?"

"Yes, when I was thinking of ways to pave the way for you, you and Xiao Fengcheng were enjoying the sea breeze and chatting over there. Are you going to have a barbecue and drink some wine in the evening? And then lie down on the bed?"

The more the man spoke, the harder the hand holding her shoulder became, as if he wanted to stuff her into his body...

Wen Ruoci frowned.

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. Is it because there are too many women throwing themselves at you that you have this illusion?"

"Come to think of it, you have a potential fiancée by your side? Today is Nan Xin's birthday, what's wrong with Nan Xin's brother and I having some barbecue and drinking some wine? Why don't you allow it?" Quan Shijin grabbed her hand, "Are you talking about Yi Youwei? She has never been anything."

At this point, he suddenly remembered something and sneered a few times, "I just found out today that Lin Miao actually confessed to you! There are a lot of people who like you, and there are another lot that I don't know about. You just mentioned Yi Youwei, but I have kept my distance from her from the beginning to the end, and you almost got close to Xiao Fengcheng!"

Wen Ruoci, "..."

When did they post it?

It was when he bumped into her that she lost her balance and Xiao Fengcheng helped her up.

She couldn't help but yelled, "Why did he come close to me? It's your fault! If you hadn't bumped into me, would he have supported me?"

The man held her chin and said, "Okay, I misunderstood you and Xiao Fengcheng, but tell me, besides the people I know, are there any other people who like you?"

Wen Ruoci's expression was a little awkward, and she felt a little guilty for some reason, "No, it should be gone..."

Quan Shijin touched her hair and looked at her with a fake smile, "Okay, that's fine. Anyway, I will never agree to break up. Before the Mu family's affairs are resolved, you should be a little more obedient. After that, we can solve the problems between you and me."

Having said this, he paused, put his lips next to her ear, and said with a smile, "If I find out that you are hooking up with other men behind my back, I will send him away first, then send you away, and finally I will accompany you."

Wen Ruoci, "..."

Why does dying together sound so refreshing and refined?
But she had no doubt that Quan Shijin might really be able to do it.

Whenever she thought of the desperate look in which he rammed the yacht into her today, she felt a lingering fear.

She was silent for a while before she spoke, "I see."

This time she suggested going back, and Quan Shijin didn't stop her.

She didn't let Quan Shijin take her back either, mainly because too many things happened to her today and she felt her mind was a little confused and she needed to sort it out.

Quan Shijin now followed her wish and did not insist on sending her off.

After all, they are apparently broken up now.

After Wen Ruoci left the hospital, she took a taxi back to the Wen family.

Wen Yanyou saw her coming back with a cold face and smell of sea salt, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Sister, didn't you attend Miss Xiao's birthday party? Why do you look unhappy?"

Wen Ruoci smiled and said, "Oh, it's okay. I was just having too much fun and accidentally fell into the sea. Don't worry too much."

Wen Yanyou, "..."

Wen Ruoci returned to her room, took a shower, and threw away all the clothes that were stained with the smell of sea salt.

She herself couldn't stand the smell. Just now, Quan Shijin was holding her and kissing her. She didn't know how he could stand it with his mysophobia.

After taking a shower, I came out of the bathroom, sat on the sofa, and my whole body became quiet. Only then did I calm down a little.

It was a gloomy sky outside the window, but at some point some golden light fell into the room, making it seem particularly warm and comfortable.

She looked at the potted plant on the windowsill and thought calmly.

Is she so important to Quan Shijin?

She actually doesn't dare to gamble, but it is undeniable that she still has a secret expectation in her heart.
