C35 A Brief Moment of Beauty
"Sister, how can you say something so heartless? A man and a wife are indebted to each other for hundreds of days. You and Zhang Shuai have been in a relationship for such a long time. You can't just sit there and do nothing. "
"Xuanxuan, it's not that I am heartless." Zhu Ruiyan felt wronged when she saw her sister's confusion. "Zhang Shuai is not someone you deserve to love. He treats me like a chess piece. You are the same in his eyes. "
Zhu Ruiyan hung up the phone angrily after she finished speaking. She was not a heartless person to begin with. Otherwise, she would not have kept Zhang Shuai's name out of Qin Yizhao's questioning. She had been in love with Zhang Shuai for five years. These five years were the most precious time for a woman. But now that these dreams had been shattered, she had to wake up.
But thinking about her sister, Zhu Ruiyan hesitated again. Should she go and beg Qin Yizhao again? This made Zhu Ruiyan's heart start to struggle again.
At this moment, the door was suddenly opened from the outside. Qin Yizhao had already returned. Zhu Ruiyan walked out of the bedroom and saw Qin Yizhao standing at the door. He had changed into a clean set of clothes. He was holding the box and breakfast with his right hand. Zhu Ruiyan took the food from Qin Yizhao with a red face and walked into the kitchen.
Qin Yizhao put down the box in his hand with a smile and said, "This place is filled with my daily necessities. The bag is filled with ready-made food."
Zhu Ruiyan placed all the food in the bag onto the dining plate. Zhu Ruiyan looked up and saw that the leaves on the trees outside the window had almost fallen. The bare tree trunk indicated that winter had come.
Just as Zhu Ruiyan was lost in thought, she suddenly realized that her hands were being held from behind. Zhu Ruiyan's body suddenly trembled in fear.
In Zhu Ruiyan's mind, the scene from last night that made people blush and heart beat appeared again. She said shyly, "Don't be like this." But not only did the arms that hugged her not relax, they were even tighter. Qin Yizhao was breathing hot air beside her ear.
That gentle and low magnetic voice sounded beside her ear, "Are you still very tired?" Zhu Ruiyan's face instantly turned red to the roots of her neck. That alluring red made Qin Oen unable to maintain his composure as he gently planted a shallow kiss on Zhu Ruiyan's face.
Zhu Ruiyan became even more shy. She stood there mechanically and buried her head even deeper. She did not want Qin Yizhao to see her so embarrassed.
"Alright, quickly go out and eat. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to help myself and want to do something again." Qin Yizhao's words made Zhu Ruiyan not know what to say. At this moment, Zhu Ruiyan felt extremely embarrassed.
Zhu Ruiyan's shyness made Qin Yizhao feel very cute. He even wished that he could hide this woman and completely belong to him. The intimacy from last night made him feel like he could not let go of Zhu Ruiyan.
Qin Yizhao elegantly picked up a cup of soy milk and took a sip. He saw that Zhu Ruiyan had something on her face, so he asked with concern, "Something on your mind?"
"That..." Zhu Ruiyan looked like she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
"Is there anything else you can't tell me? I don't like to guess what you should say." Qin Yizhao said lightly.
Zhu Ruiyan did not know if she should say it or not, but when she thought of her sister, she hesitated. As for Zhang Shuai, Zhu Ruiyan's heart was still a little messy. After thinking for a few seconds, she said a little stutteringly, "Can you help Zhang Shuai keep his official position? “
Qin Yizhao's face suddenly became gloomy, and his eyes were full of anger. Qin Yizhao said unhappily," Zhu Ruiyan, were you so close to me last night to ask me to help Zhang Shuai? "
"It's not what you think." Zhu Ruiyan was stunned by Qin Yizhao's sudden anger, but she immediately reacted and shook her head desperately. She desperately wanted to explain.
Qin Yizhao looked at Zhu Ruiyan with disdain. His tone was full of disdain. "No wonder you were so obedient last night. In the end, all this flattery was for that man, right? You are really lowly. "
"No..." Zhu Ruiyan looked at Qin Yizhao's gloomy face and did not know what to say for a moment. It was as if there were a lot of words but she swallowed them all back down.
"Are you worried that I will refuse, so you chose to mention this matter after last night?" Qin Yizhao's voice was slightly trembling because of anger. Zhu Ruiyan felt scared. Qin Yizhao continued, "I have tried my best to ensure that he does not go to jail. He is a public official, but I am not the only one in charge of the government. Don't you know that you should be content with what you have? "
"Sorry, I didn't think that it would make it so difficult for you." Zhu Ruiyan bit her lips and lowered her head, not daring to look at Qin Yizhao.
"Do you think I can take risks again and again for you? I am no longer a member of the provincial commissar. No one is willing to listen to what I say anymore." Qin Yizhao's words were full of reproach and questioning. Zhu Ruiyan bit her lips and did not speak anymore.
The atmosphere in the entire room was so tense that it made people feel suffocated. After a while, Zhu Ruiyan mustered up her courage and said intermittently, "Sorry, I know I have made it difficult for you."
"Then why did you still choose to speak to me again?" Qin Yizhao's tone changed from gentle to cold. "Zhu Ruiyan, let me tell you, there is only a deal between us. What you owe me last night is your payment. Don't think that you can step on your nose just because I slept with you. You don't have the right to keep making requests for me. "
Qin Yizhao's words deeply stung Zhu Ruiyan. She did not forget that there was only a transaction between her and Qin Yizhao. Her body was just a bargaining chip between them. Zhang Shuai was right. Such a person would not have true feelings. What kind of woman did Qin Yizhao not have? Zhu Ruiyan felt her heart ache when she thought of this.
She looked at Qin Yizhao with a sad face. "I know it was my fault. I should not have so many requests for you. I owe you a lot. I am a lowly person. You are right."
Qin Yizhao stared at Zhu Ruiyan. His long eyelashes trembled slightly. Use? He said coldly in a low voice, "It was my fault for believing you." Zhu Ruiyan's heart was bleeding, but she did not say anything. Qin Yizhao stood up and left her home.
Zhu Ruiyan was very disappointed that Qin Yizhao left just like that, but Qin Yizhao did not take the box away, so Zhu Ruiyan foolishly thought that he was just angry, but Qin Yizhao never came again.
In the afternoon, Zhu Ruiyan went downstairs to the pharmacy alone to buy emergency birth control medicine. She could not let anything happen to herself like her sister, so she had to protect herself like this.0
In the blink of an eye, it was Monday. Zhu Ruiyan seemed to have lost her soul, because today was the day Qin Yizhao was going to Qing County.
Zhu Ruiyan did not receive a call all day, so the disappointment in her heart was even stronger. When it was almost time to get off work, she actually saw Zhu Ruixuan at the door. When Zhu Ruixuan saw Zhu Ruiyan, she immediately walked over with a smile on her face, "Big Sister, thank you. The order for Zhang Shuai to be fired from work had already been withdrawn. He only opened a warning letter."
Zhu Ruiyan did not have the excitement in her sister's heart. Instead, she felt a little uncomfortable. She did not expect Qin Yizhao to fulfill her request in the end. But why did Qin Yizhao never see her again? He shouldn't be here anymore.
Zhu Ruixuan pulled Zhu Ruiyan's hand with some doubt and then said with a smile, "Zhang Shuai and I want to thank you. Let's have dinner together tonight. I have to go back to school tomorrow."
Zhu Ruiyan felt that it was somewhat ironic. Her younger sister represented her fiancé to thank her. Then how would Qin Yizhao be thanked? Zhu Ruiyan said lightly, "There is no need to thank me. I did not do this. I'm very happy that you decided to go back to school. You should study well when you go back. I am a little tired and want to go home. "
" Sister, I know you're still angry. " Zhu Ruixuan looked at Zhu Ruiyan with teary eyes, "Are you blaming me? Blaming me for not falling in love with Zhang Shuai and not being with him."
"No, Xuanxuan, don't think too much." Zhu Ruiyan gently stroked Zhu Ruiyan's head, "Older sister only hopes to see you live happily every day."
Zhu Ruixuan did not listen to what older sister said at all. Instead, she said firmly, "Older sister, the matter between Zhang Shuai and me is my fault. I should not have fallen in love with him. But I have fallen in love with him and I can't pull myself out of it. If you can, transfer all your anger to me. I hope you won't tell Mom all of this."
Zhu Ruiyan looked at her younger sister and said helplessly, "Xuanxuan, you should wake up a little."
"Sister, people say that love gives birth to hatred. Don't tell me you are jealous of Zhang Shuai and me."
"Xuanxuan, you are still too young. No matter what I say now, you will not understand." Zhu Ruiyan sighed helplessly. "Anyway, you take care of yourself."
Zhu Ruiyan was just about to turn around when her sister pulled her again. "Sister, don't leave. I know it is my fault. I apologize to you. Don't get angry with me and Zhang Shuai again, okay?"
"Sigh, girls need to learn to love themselves. Mother taught us since we were young. Have you forgotten?" Zhu Ruiyan suddenly thought of herself and Qin Yizhao and felt that it was somewhat ironic. She also did not have the qualifications to teach Zhu Ruixuan a lesson here.
"Sister, since you don't want to see us, Zhang Shuai and I won't disturb you anymore. I will return to school early tomorrow morning. Don't worry."
"Yes." Zhu Ruiyan lightly said,, "Go back and study well. You must be careful along the way."
Facing her sister's choice, Zhu Ruiyan felt more helpless in her heart. She did not know how to explain a lot of things to her younger sister. After all, she was still young. But for the sake of this love that was not worth it, she would not hesitate to not care about family.
After Zhu Ruiyan went far away, Zhang Shuai walked over from the corner of the building. Zhu Ruixuan said with some sadness, "Older sister is still angry with me."
Zhang Shuai smiled on his face and gently patted Zhu Ruixuan's shoulder. "Take it slow. Let's go back first. I will send you back tomorrow. You have to study well at home. Time will wash away everything."
Zhu Ruixuan nodded heavily. "I have to come here to work after I graduate."
Zhang Shuai looked at Zhu Ruixuan lovingly. "En. At that time, your sister will slowly understand you."
Zhu Ruiyan repeatedly held her phone and edited a few texts, but she did not send them out. In the end, she deleted all the messages and only sent three words: Thank you.
