"Don't leave me." Cheng Ruojun opened his mouth again, but this time his voice was filled with weakness. I think it was only in this darkness that he was able to say such words without any qualms, as if he had only been able to say it out loud with the help of alcohol.

When I thought about it, I couldn't help but laugh, but I immediately shut my mouth. I was worried that I would provoke Cheng Ruojun.

Cheng Ruojun, you lost to me in this war.

I will not be held back by your tears, just as my tears did not move you when you beat me.

Maybe you didn't realize you were alone until today, but what does that have to do with me?

I closed my eyes and didn't respond to Cheng Ruojun anymore. I pretended to be asleep, pretending that I didn't understand what he meant by that, but my heart was still very happy.

When I opened my eyes again, the sky was already bright, which made me feel strange that Cheng Ruojun was still by my side. I thought that he had gone back to work, after all, it was always like this before, and now that I was more important than going to work, I felt flattered.

"You …" I hesitantly opened my mouth to reveal a bashful expression on my face. Perhaps I should add more surprises.

"Aren't you glad I'm here?" Cheng Ruojun asked me if he noticed that the smile on my face was fake, or if I had overdone it.

"Of course I'm happy." I reached out my hand to stroke his face, stopping the too-bright smile on my face as I said, "It's just that Daddy isn't happy about me anymore. If you don't go to work now, he'll be even more unhappy."

Cheng Ruojun grabbed my hand and looked at me, "So what?"

I chuckled, but Cheng Ruojun took the opportunity to kiss my lips, and said, "I keep having this feeling that something is wrong with you."

"Where?" I asked him.

"Seems to be leaving me." He lowered his eyes and said that they were as sharp as a beast's.

I didn't avert my eyes, but stared straight at Cheng Ruojun. I didn't say anything.

Cheng Ruojun opened his mouth, as though he wanted to say something, but right at that moment, there was a knock at the bedroom door. I heard someone outside say, "Young master, old master wants to see you."

Cheng Ruojun's face immediately fell, he kissed me on the cheek and said, "Wait for me to come back."

Every single one of you made me wait for you, because every single person has a stomach full of schemes in their hearts. And I am always the last one who knows, whether it's Cheng Ruojun, Xia Ze or Li Zhen, I don't want to wait any longer.

Although I thought that in my heart, my face did not show it, I only looked at Cheng Ruojun gently, and nodded.

Cheng Ruojun got up and put on his clothes, tidying up his hair, trying his best to look more energetic. Although his face doesn't look like much, I think he must be very nervous right now.

Cheng Ruojun went out.

I still sat on the bed. I wanted to look at Cheng Ruojun's situation, but I felt that there was no need for it. I had already decided that I would do it well.

I closed my eyes to take a nap, but just as I did, I heard a loud sound not too far away, as if something had fallen onto the ground. I immediately heard a shattering sound, followed by Cheng Ruixuan's loud roar, and his loud voice was so loud that I carefully wanted to listen to what he was shouting about, but his words were so vague that I could barely hear what he was saying.

I heard the roar and almost laughed out loud. I thought that Cheng Ruixuan, who already had Xia Ze, wouldn't be angry with him anymore, but right now, he seems like a father. Maybe he was angry at Cheng Ruojun for not being able to do enough.

Maybe I should make myself look like a wife worrying about her husband.

I got out of bed and got dressed. I wasn't in my own house, I couldn't just go out in my pajamas, I practiced my face in the mirror, I couldn't do that kind of thing before it happened.

I touched my face in the mirror. Maybe I had talent for actors, but how many people in this world lived without masks?

I smiled, and the expression on my face changed to one of worry and pain, the expression that I planned to face Cheng Ruojun later.

I listened as Cheng Ruixuan's voice slowly calmed down and left the room. I opened the door and saw that there were quite a few servants standing in the corridor to listen in.

When they saw me come out, they looked at each other, nodded to me, and went back to their chores.

Leaning against the door, I suddenly discovered that the servants were the only ones who came out, while the owners were all locked in their rooms.

Du Lirong must be cursing me in her room again.

The cursing from Cheng Ruixuan's room finally stopped, and I think that Cheng Ruojun should be coming out by now. I quickly walked to a place very close to the room and adjusted my expression, revealing a pitiful appearance.

Just as I got into my posture, the door to my room opened and Cheng Ruojun came out.

He looked very dispirited. His head was lowered like a primary school student who had made a mistake. He still hadn't grown up yet.

He didn't seem to notice me and headed straight for the room. He just walked past me like that.

I couldn't help but call out his name.

Cheng Ruojun stopped, he was startled, but he did not turn his head to look at me.

I stared after him and called his name again.

"Ruo Luo, are you alright?" I asked.

Cheng Ruojun was still standing. He did not look back, but simply left. This time, he did not even return to his room.

He didn't look back at me.
