31. Chapter 31
When he woke up, Lin Chutian was greeted by an unfamiliar environment.
The breeze blew the white curtains, and there were a row of fabrics and small sunflowers in full bloom on the bay window. On the desk, there was a small computer with pen and paper beside it.
Lin Chutian felt that all the strength in his body had been drained away, and he had a splitting headache. He lost consciousness for a moment, where am I?
Then he saw a foreign object protruding from one end of the quilt covering him. He lifted the corner of the quilt and took a look.
Ye Ruling hid in it and slept. She slept so cautiously, using only the edge of the bed. If she turned even slightly, she would fall under the bed.
Lin Chutian held up his head to look at her. The thin sunlight shone on her face, forming a bright halo. He could clearly see the tiny soft down on her face, and he could see the eyelashes projecting a tiny circle on her face.
Silhouette, his eyes roamed back and forth on her face, and he never got tired of seeing her. Her breathing was very light, and when she slept, she was always different from what he saw on ordinary days. She was flamboyant, difficult to deal with, and had poisonous teeth.
He watched like this for a long time. Then all the memories came back to his mind like lightning. He remembered why they had quarreled, and he also remembered that she was busy late at night for him. He felt distressed and frustrated at the same time.
When he started making all the moves, she was already busy preparing to leave him, and the time left for him was so short. At such a moment, he hoped that they could stay like this forever, and that the time could be extended indefinitely.
He wanted her to lie down in the middle of the bed, and the moment his hand touched her, Ye Ruling woke up immediately, because her shoulders were raised warily, showing a defensive posture. Her eyes were wide open, and she looked at him blankly.
After a while, she seemed to realize that the person in front of her was a person who had not recovered from a serious illness. She showed an apologetic expression and took the initiative to raise her hand to touch his forehead to test his current body temperature.
"How do you feel now?"
"Thank you." His thanks came from sincerity. The scene of her changing hot water back and forth for him left an impression on him and he was very grateful.
"You really scared me yesterday." Ye Ruling was a little proud. Her three-legged cat's skills in taking care of the patient were actually effective. His body temperature was no longer as "unruly" as yesterday, and he was unable to do anything he could.
She was willing to lower herself even half a cent. Now that she was finally out of danger, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Workaholic, I think you should take leave today. You have to go to the hospital for a checkup." She was still a little worried and told her.
Lin Chutian wanted her to take a rest, so he gave up the bed.
"Drink some water?" She didn't see his movement and turned around to pour him some water.
There was a book on the bedside, which Ye Ruling should read before going to bed. Lin Chutian picked up the book and flipped through it, without thinking that there was a photo in the book, which fell from the pages with his movements.
, Lin Chutian picked it up.
From Ye Ruling's ponytail, we can tell that this is an old photo of her in college, a group photo with a group of girls. Among them, Ye Ruling is holding the trophy and is surrounded by a group of girls. They smile brightly at the camera.
Only Ye Ruling's gaze fell to the side. In the photo, she was looking away in a trance. Lin Chutian looked in the direction of her gaze and saw the boy standing next to the group of girls. He was also looking at Ye Ruling.
Ru Ling smiled.
This should be a photo from their passionate love period. Although it is not a successful group photo, it is treasured by Ye Ruling.
Even if she moved away from the Ye family, this photo still stayed with her.
An unexplained sourness stirred my heart.
Ye Ruling, who came back with water, also noticed something strange about him: "Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"
"No, I'm sorry for making you tired." He avoided the important and looked away.
His unexpected politeness and alienation made her a little troubled, but she was absent-minded for only three seconds. She immediately returned to her calm expression of "I'd better not die" and was about to jump out of bed to clean up the computer on the table and get ready to go to work. Lin Chutian said again
Pulling her back: "I said it yesterday, think about it carefully." After he said this, he got up leisurely and hung his coat on his hand. He saw that his mobile phone was covered by a cloth, but
I was a little confused, but I didn't think much about it and grabbed it in my hand.
"Don't be late for the party tomorrow night."
After Leng Buding said these words, he never looked back at Ye Ruling and directly opened the door and left.
Seeing him disappear quickly, Ye Ruling was so shocked that she froze in place for a while.
Didn't she make it clear that there would be a banquet tomorrow? Didn't she have to publish an announcement in the newspaper saying that the relationship between Ye Ruling and Mr. Lin's family was over?
Whenever he needs a female companion for social activities, she must accompany him unconditionally. Why should she listen to his orders and do whatever he wants so early in the morning? It’s up to him to be happy. She quits! She angrily grabbed her phone and looked at it.
, she looked at the date reminder on her phone and saw that today was June 14th. Most of June had passed in the blink of an eye. She had several drawings that were due to be delivered, but she was not that free.
She was indignant.
Wait, June 14th, tomorrow...
She finally remembered that tomorrow was Lin Chutian's birthday, and it was the birthday party that the Lin family would organize for him every year!
Ye Ruling lost strength and sat back on the chair again.
It is indeed the birthday of Young Master Lin. It cannot be quiet or silent. It must be grand and gorgeous, prosperous, and the night must be more lively and noisy than the day...
Only in this way can he be worthy of his family and his last name!
So, around two o'clock in the afternoon on the 15th, my mother took a car to her studio to find her, and then accompanied her to have her hair styled and pick up her dress...
Along the way, my mother didn't say a word. She walked out from behind the curtain with a new look, and her mother remained silent.
After not seeing each other for a few days, time impatiently left its mark on her body. Her eye sockets were sunken, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were much more obvious, and there were wisps of white hair on her temples. Ye Rulington felt like her heart was twisting, her eyes were hot, and she quickly turned her gaze to
elsewhere.
"When are you going home?" Seeing that the collar of her dress was not flat enough, Mother Ye came forward to straighten it for her.
"I think it's good to live outside." She replied dryly, trying to change the subject, "After this point, the traffic will stop. Let's get ready to leave."
"He has been very ill these days. He is your father. If he is gone, you will have no father."
People say that she, Ye Ruling, has venomous fangs, and her mouth is full of venom and she can spit out cruel and bastard words. She feels that her mother's cold words can crush her deliberately pretended strength one by one and trample her to pieces.
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about now!" Ye Ruling's pretense of calmness was finally broken, and her guilt and sense of uselessness hit her head. One sentence made her feel even more guilty.
"You and Lin Chutian are together, and your father agrees."
"Dad's consent is not needed. We have never been together. We are just pretending." Ye Ruling said with a risk-taking attitude, "Let's discuss it and pretend to be in love, so you won't force us to get married early!"
Mother Ye was stunned when she suddenly heard the news. Then an expression of extreme disappointment appeared on her face, and she said in shock: "You..."
Ye Ruling had seen this expression before. She had seen exactly the same expression when Ye Zhongru ran away from home.
"Are you telling the truth?" Mother Ye couldn't believe her ears and confirmed again. It's not like they didn't know that the two of them had tens of millions of people paying attention to any trouble they had. How could such a thing be used as a joke?
It's a restricted area that cannot be touched.
Ye Ruling didn't know whether to live or die, gritted her teeth and admitted: "It's true."
"That's ridiculous!" Ye's mother trembled with anger and staggered. Seeing this, Ye Ruling broke into a cold sweat and tried to help Ye's mother, but she pushed her away.
"Ye Ruling, Ye Ruling, how could you, how could you be so ignorant and willful? Do you know that you will really kill your father!"
Ye Ruling was pushed like this and suddenly understood something as if cold water was splashed on her face.
"You hate your marriage and future being manipulated by your father, so you want to make your own decisions. I understand, I understand, and I can understand you. But now, are you personally pushing yourself to a point of no return and pretending? Do you think the Lin family is so good?
Did you offend me?"
"Mother……"
Mother Ye felt like she had been hit by someone. She suddenly became depressed and her voice trembled: "It's my fault too. I've always been self-righteous and took your baby kissing too seriously..."
Yes, the "Ye Ruling and Lin Chutian" she thought were not the "Ye Ruling and Lin Chutian" that everyone saw. The power behind them began to show up, and Ye Ruling finally realized that this was something she personally could not resist.
A tremendous strength.
It turns out that this is a play that cannot end. Once it starts, it will never end.
"I'm going to the bathroom first." Ye Ruling held her breath, ran out of the fitting room and went to the sink. She flushed her face with cold water, telling herself over and over again not to cry.
She seems to be trapped in a cycle, and has tasted the pain of being willful. In fact, she just wants a satisfactory result. When the sun is full of enthusiasm, prepare a table of delicious food and have the person she likes by her side... Why is everything so different?
What she thought would deviate so much, and get further and further away.
Am I really a completely spoiled person? Because I am spoiled, I only know how to ask for things and look on coldly, regardless of the consequences, and only seek bloody pleasure. Ye Ruling, are you such a person?
Ye Ruling looked at her face in the mirror and thought dreamily.
Although she was mentally prepared and knew that Lin Chutian's birthday party would be grand, the scale and number of guests still exceeded her imagination.
She also vaguely sensed something was wrong. This was not a birthday party at all. It was a banquet in the name of celebrating a birthday. There was no private time at all. No wonder Eric had to prepare a special lunar birthday for him.
Even if she disagrees in her heart, she is no exception. Her long hair is neatly braided on her head, with a few strands hanging down by her ears. It is elegant yet playful and romantic. Although the earring is small,
, better than real diamonds, which can reflect the shining light. It matches her round face, and her temperament is very soft. She is wearing a black silk satin off-shoulder dress, the material is soft, and it flutters softly with her walking movements, if not
She is tall enough, how can this dress hold her up?
Before she and Mama Ye got out of the car, they saw Lin Chutian standing at the door to greet her. Ye Ruling looked flattered, while Mama Ye's expression was a little stiff. Maybe it was because she hadn't digested Ye Ruling's previous revelations.
Lin Chutian took her hand and asked her to stand beside him.
"Chu Tian, Ru Ling always likes to get into trouble, so I'll leave it to you tonight." There was something in Ye Mu's words at this time, and the meaning was self-evident.
She glanced at Ye Ruling again and said in a low voice: "I'm going to find your father and clean up your expression. Don't be cold-faced when you see him later, be more enthusiastic."
"Yes, I know." At this time, she had exhausted all her strength, and her chest was tightening. The previous argument with Ye's mother caused quite a ripple in her heart, and her mood reached rock bottom.
