Zhang Ruqing was stunned for a moment before her eyes widened. "You …"

"You're on guard against outsiders every day. Why don't you pay more attention to the people around you?" "Sometimes, the person you trust the most is the person who stabbed you in the back the most."

Zhang Ruqing wasn't an idiot, she quickly reacted, "How did you know about what happened that morning?"

"I was living in the next room." "The soundproofing in that hotel is really bad. I really have to give them a call when I'm free."

Gu Wanqing was an expert at sowing discord. She had been immersed in this circle for so many years, and was well versed in the unspoken rules.

The so-called upper class society was actually sometimes even more complicated than the entertainment industry. The people who were the easiest to alienate were often the most intimate of people.

"I'm warning you not to speak nonsense, or I'll make you suffer!" Zhang Ruqing was skeptical of her words, and quickly left with a warning.

Gu Wanqing took out her phone and pulled out the person who had sent her the text message from the blacklist. She sent another message: I don't know what your purpose is, but unfortunately, you're going to be disappointed.

That person knew of her relationship with Rong Wan, but didn't expose it immediately. He was definitely waiting for an opportunity, or perhaps he didn't have a real hammer.

Gu Wanqing had a premonition that this person was someone close to Zhang Ruqing, someone she might even be very familiar with.

She had been wondering if there was such a method that could prevent her identity from being revealed, and that would allow her to have Zhang Ruqing leave Rong Wan.

Zhang Ruqing had always been skeptical. He didn't completely believe Gu Wanqing's words, but he still kept it in mind.

She went back to the hospital room and looked at Rong, who was lying on the bed.

"What are you doing?" Rao looked at her.

"Ten." Zhang Ruqing went over and asked hesitantly, "How is your body?"

"I'm fine." He ignored her and turned his head back to the computer.

Unreconciled, Zhang Ruqing reached out her hand to touch him. He touched his chest, his bright red fingernails circling around and around. "Ten, stop handling the work. Let's have a rest."

"Don't!" Zhang Ruqing said with tears dancing in her eyes, "We haven't done it in a long time, you haven't come to visit me recently."

"…"

"Recently, Auntie has been pressing me to have a child as soon as possible." Seeing that he didn't reject her, Zhang Ruoqing went even further, "Do you want a girl or a boy?"

Rong Wan was upset by her teasing. He threw away his laptop and grabbed her hand, "Zhang Ruqing, we're not married yet. Are you trying to marry us so that we can sit on the Rong family's Young Mistress' side?"

Zhang Ruqing bit her lips, "Tenth, ever since I was young, I have always believed that we should be together. Everyone has told me the same thing. Isn't that a matter that should be taken for granted? "

"What if I said I never intended to marry you?" Rong Ye smiled sinisterly.

Zhang Ruqing's face paled, "Why?"

"Because I don't love you." There was no mercy.

"But I love you!" Zhang Ruqing's tears fell even more fiercely, "Ah X, you promised to marry me, you promised me!"

"We are no longer children. How could we take what we said before seriously?" He suddenly grabbed her chin and whispered in her ear, "I'm in love with someone else."

Zhang Ruqing was instantly petrified. After a long while, she finally squeezed out a word from between her teeth, "Who is it?"

Seeing this, Rong Zhi immediately smiled and said irresponsibly: "I was just joking."

The corner of Zhang Ruoqing's mouth twitched with difficulty, "Ah Shi, you can choose not to love me. I can wait, but you absolutely can't fall in love with others!"

She suddenly opened her arms to hug him, her sharp nails digging into his flesh. "Otherwise, I think I'll make her die miserably."

Her eyes were filled with a desperate frenzy. She was silent for a long time.

In the past, because of an accident and a promise, the two of them had finally come into contact, but they had been entangled until now. One wanted to escape, while the other pursued relentlessly.

Twenty years ago, the 10-year-old was involved in a kidnapping, along with a little girl.

It was night, and the girl's face was so dirty that he couldn't see her face clearly. He could only vaguely see that she was wearing a beautiful flowery dress.

The two of them stayed in a dark warehouse for the whole night. The girl had been taking care of him, encouraging him, repeatedly pleading with the kidnappers.

When he woke up, he saw Zhang Ruqing sitting beside his bed. She was wearing a flowery dress, crying her heart out.

At that time, he swore that when he grew up, he would marry her and give her the best things in the world.

However, after growing up and going through a long period of time, the two of them had slowly become separated from the innocence of their childhood.

It was just that the promise she made that year could not be changed. Coincidentally, her mother was also very satisfied with her, and she had already recognized Zhang Ruqing as the young mistress of the Rong family.

Now that everything was settled, he could only go along with his promise and get married to Zhang Ruqing.

He just didn't understand why a person's personality would change so much. Wasn't he supposed to be three years old and look old?

Zhang Ruqing's explanation for this was that she was frightened by the kidnapping, so she had no sense of security. She could only use this method to protect herself.

The two of them had been entangled in this manner for many years. Until now, Zhang Ruqing was unwilling to let them go, so she could only drag them along.

When Gu Wanqing got home, she thought about it and eventually sent a WeChat greeting to Rong. "I heard you're sick?" she asked.

Only after a long while did he reply: "Yes."

A single word, not even a punctuation mark.
