The engagement is over, but the black-bellied president won't let go

Starting the car, he lowered the window, honked the horn at her, and drove out.

Leng Ruofei watched his business car leave, breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the marriage certificate in his hand, and shook his head. He still couldn't quite believe that he had married himself like this.

I returned to the house and cleaned up. I mainly put back the sofa and TV that Sister Qiao Liu had covered with sheets, leaving only the bed and crawling into the quilt.

Her suitcases were already packed. She left a letter for Qiao Liu's sister, which was actually a note to express her gratitude.

Although modern communications are very developed nowadays, Leng Ruofei still prefers the traditional way of writing letters, which seems to be able to better express his sincerity.

She sat on the bed, curled up her legs and rested her chin on her knees.

Thinking of Mu Liangsheng, her heart still ached. So, she deliberately forced herself to think about Xiao Yiyang.

He is a very charming man. If he proposed to her for a purpose other than this, how should she react?

Thinking about the possibility of living under the same roof in the future, Leng Ruofei felt himself panicking. He was worried about the unknown, but also curious.

She wondered, how should she get along with him?

In this marriage in name only, are they meant to be friends or strangers?

Do you want to draw up an agreement?

She was not a person who liked to worry, and she was not good at those things with clauses. After all, it was only one year, which was not a long time.

The cell phone rang and she quickly answered it. It was Qiao Liu.

"Honey, how did you do it?" Qiao Liu's voice was extremely excited, and the noise of the cell phone was very loud, as if he was on the main road.

"What?" Leng Ruofei had already gotten used to being with Qiao Liu. No matter what she said, he could remain calm.

"You're still pretending in front of me! What did you do to those media? Now they are all one-sided, saying that you and Mr. Mu have nothing to do with each other, and that you have someone else in your heart. They even published photos of you two together. Oh, by the way, who is that handsome guy? Where did you find the model? I really underestimated you! You can handle such a big thing. From now on, I will rely on you to protect me!"

Qiao Liu chattered non-stop like an oriole, and Leng Ruofei finally understood what she said. It seemed that the media was no longer slandering her, but someone was vindicating her.

Somehow, the first person that came to her mind was Xiao Yiyang.

After hanging up the phone with Qiao Liu, Leng Ruofei quickly searched for entertainment news, and sure enough, several related information popped up.

"Elen's love interest is someone else, and the mysterious man shows up for the first time."

"It's a rumor that a 26-year-old beauty is in love with a 68-year-old man..."

"Elen was beaten at Mr. Mu's funeral. The Mu family may face huge compensation..."

……

In one of the news, she saw a photo.

It turned out to be a photo of her and Xiao Yiyang at the Peninsula Café. The photo was taken from the street outside the window, and Elen's face was very clear. She was looking at Xiao Yiyang opposite her with her face tilted to the side, her nose straight, and her eyes sparkling.

At this time, Xiao Yiyang's hand was on her hand holding the teacup. Xiao Yiyang's face was mosaiced, but judging from his clothes and figure, he was certainly a dashing man.

Leng Ruofei was shocked. They...

She remembered that Xiao Yiyang suddenly reached out and touched the back of her hand, and she quickly retracted it, and then he took her coffee as if nothing had happened...

Did he plan all this in advance?

She originally had a look of shock on her face, but now looking at the photo, why did she look so affectionate?

She felt indescribably touched in her heart. Except for when she learned that Mu Liangsheng had donated money to the welfare home without her knowledge, she rarely felt this way.

She thought the time for her to return to work was just around the corner.

The heavy stone in her heart suddenly disappeared, as if it was lifted by a crane. She didn't expect that all this could be solved so easily. The heavy obstacles before were now gone.

What kind of person is Xiao Yiyang?

She searched for his number on her phone, and it said "Mr. Xiao". Remembering what he said, that he was going to visit his mother tomorrow, she changed the three words "Mr. Xiao" to "Yi Yang".

There is a warmth in my heart, I don’t know where it comes from.

When she was very young, she built a strong fortress in her heart. She didn't trust anyone and had to rely on herself to do everything. Since she met Mu Liangsheng, he wanted to do everything for her. However, she didn't appreciate it.

It was not until his unyielding persistence that she gradually learned to rely on him. It turned out that relying on someone could be so happy and so easy.

And this man, Xiao Yiyang, also seemed to give her a sense of security, just like the one Mu Liangsheng gave her.

She thought, if he had bad intentions, why would he take on such a big trouble for her and do so many things for her? And she herself thought that she was nothing worthy of a man's sacrifice.

Therefore, she must realize her own value. Since he needs a marriage in name only, a wife for a year, then she will do it. It can be regarded as a way to repay him.

Xiao Yiyang returned to his residence and looked through the red marriage certificate, which was his second marriage certificate.

He and Su Kefan had just held their engagement party when something happened to her. They hadn't registered yet. His first marriage certificate was obtained from Yu Yiran. He could still remember that Yu Yiran was dressed very beautifully that day and followed him there shyly. The two of them were tossed around. The staff asked them questions and asked them to take an oath together...

Today, he called Leng Rufei in advance, skipped all the steps, and signed and stamped directly. Perhaps he didn't want to think about that marriage again, and for Yu Yiran, he felt very guilty.

If he hadn't been delayed by something, maybe...

He lit a cigarette irritably, took a deep puff, and gently exhaled thick smoke rings. Xiao Yiyang narrowed his eyes and looked at the photo of him and Leng Ruofei.

She is a beautiful woman. Although her expression is not very natural, it is still bright and beautiful.

The two of them stood together, not head to head like Yu Yiran did, nor shoulder to shoulder, but separated to the left and right, like two unrelated people. If you cut it in the middle, you can't even tell that it was a photo.

The temporary engagement with Leng Ruofei was actually just a way to stall Qin Lan and Xiao Ye. Leng Ruofei showed up at this critical moment, and he decided it was appropriate. In fact, even if it wasn't Leng Ruofei, it would have been someone else. It's just that he didn't trust others that much. In addition to trust, he also felt guilty about this woman. To be honest, that incident made him feel pretty terrible.

One year is enough for Xiao Ye to give up.

The phone rang, Xiao Yiyang took a look and saw that it was Elen. His eyebrows moved upwards and the corners of his lips raised unconsciously. He wondered if she regretted calling him at this time?

"Hey?"

"Xiao Yiyang? Do you have time?" Leng Ruofei felt a little nervous when he heard his voice.

"Hmm? Wait a minute..." He put the phone to his ear, stood up and walked to the window to close it. The wind was strong outside, and he didn't know if it was because her voice was too soft or something else, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

Leng Ruofei heard a loud noise from his side. After it calmed down, he heard him say, "Okay, go ahead."

Leng Ruofei was speechless for a moment. At this time, has he already eaten? If he makes an appointment with him again, will it be possible...

She didn't say anything and he didn't ask, he just waited there.

Leng Ruofei could hear his light breathing.

"Well... have you eaten?" Leng Ruofei touched her stomach with one hand. If she hadn't just made a gurgling sound, she might not have said it.

"Oh, not yet. What about you?" Xiao Yiyang was waiting for her, thinking that she must have something to say. Maybe it was difficult to say it over the phone, so she wanted to say it in person.

"I haven't eaten either, so I'll treat you to a meal?"

"..." Xiao Yiyang paused, "Regret it again?" There was a smile in his voice, as if it was expected.

Leng Ruofei's face was slightly hot, and he quickly explained: "No, I just simply want to have a meal."

"Okay. I'll pick you up. It'll take an hour." Xiao Yiyang didn't expect her to say that, and he was in a good mood.

"No need, I'll take a taxi..."

"Is your luggage ready?" Xiao Yiyang interrupted her. He started to put on his clothes, took his car keys and handbag, and walked towards the entrance.

"Huh? Oh, you're ready." Leng Ruofei was confused.

"Wait there, I'll pick you up! And bring your luggage with me." As he spoke, Xiao Yiyang had already gotten into the car, and the car quickly drove out of Ruyi Garden.

"..."

Leng Ruofei hung up the phone, his heart beating faster.

Why did he let her take the luggage? It couldn't be tonight...

Maybe she was overthinking it. Leng Ruofei looked at her watch and saw that it was still early, so she sent a WeChat message to Merlin, saying simply: The lawsuit has been settled, the other party has withdrawn the lawsuit, thank you for your help.

Merlin replied quickly: Really? Are you okay?

Leng Ruofei smiled. She knew that this British man took good care of her and always thought of her first, whether she was being hurt or not.

Leng Ruofei: I'm fine, don't worry.

Merlin: Thank goodness.

Leng Ruofei sent him a smiley face.

Merlin began to speak in a voice-over, using British Mandarin that sounded very soft.

"Elen? The company is undergoing adjustments. We want to open up a new market in Mocheng, China. I will go there to investigate in a while. You can relax there first, and then resume your work after I get there."

"Thank you, Merlin."

"Don't be polite with me. By the way, are you staying in a hotel over there? The company will cover all the expenses."

"Haha, no need. If you still take care of me during my suspension period, it will undermine the company's system." Leng Ruofei smiled. She didn't want others to think that she was getting some special treatment because of her good relationship with Merlin. Although the money was not much, she was very grateful that Merlin said so. It was very warm.
