Ning Rou raised her head slightly, her hands were hanging by her side, trembling slightly uneasy.

In a noisy environment, it is always difficult for her to distinguish the various voices intertwined and ups and downs in her ears, and sometimes she even mishears the guests' requests.

At this moment, she could barely guess what Luo Zhen was talking about based on the shape of Luo Zhen's mouth when speaking.

It seems that they are still struggling with the separation of the two back then.

Why did you divorce?

This issue should have been clarified five years ago.

However, some secrets are destined not to be spoken.

Ning Rou pursed her lips, a trace of struggle and pain flashed in her eyes, and after a long time, she murmured a word, her tone full of pleading.

"Don't ask, it's been a long time, hasn't it?"

The expected answer.

Luo Zhen had already guessed that Ning Rou would not say anything, even if she did, there was a high probability that she was here to deceive her.

She knows Ning Rou too well, just like Ning Rou knows her.

If Ning Rou really gave a reasonable reason for divorce five years ago, according to her personality, it would definitely be impossible to sign the divorce agreement and let Ning Rou leave.

But it was precisely because she didn't even have a perfunctory excuse that she conceitedly and conceitedly regarded the divorce as Ning Rou's petty temper.

The atmosphere was oppressive and tense, and it was extremely cold against the dim light around.

Luo Zhen closed his eyes, pursed his lips tightly, and the expression on his face gradually froze.

No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't think of any reason for Ning Rou to give up her status as the young wife of the Luo Group and come to Yuanxiang, a remote and remote place, to live a hard life of working two jobs a day.

Something must have happened here that she didn't know about.

The person who is most dissatisfied with their marriage is Luo Zhenting.

Even though same-sex unions have been legally recognized, most traditional-minded people find it difficult to accept them, and Luo Zhenting is one of them.

What's more, he wanted to have a grandson for a long time, and it was impossible for Ning Rou to give birth to a son and a half for their Luo family.

During their three years of marriage, Luo Zhen was asked by him to divorce Ning Rou more than once.

Perhaps, he was the one who caused Ning Rou to leave.

Luo Zhen took a deep breath, his expression relaxed, and his voice became much softer.

"Did Luo Zhenting pressure you in private to let you leave me and Tianhai City?"

"Don't be afraid of him. The Luo family has been in charge of me for a long time. Now, I control him, not him control me. Tell me, did he force you to leave back then?"

It is undeniable that she subconsciously hopes that the difference between the two is caused by external forces, rather than problems in their own relationship.

If it's the former, she is absolutely confident in getting Ning Rou back; but if it's the latter, it means that her five years of missing and searching are actually meaningless.

The inquiries in the ear are still intermittent.

Ning Rou opened her lips, but no sound came out of her throat.

I don't know how long it took, but the music in the lobby changed after a long time, so she stopped to avoid the expectant gaze, and mustered up the courage to answer in a low voice.

"It's none of Mr. Luo's business. He didn't look for me, let alone force me. It's me who wants a divorce."

"Miss Luo, we are not from the same world. The reason why we got married was only out of an exchange of interests. The three-year agreement was made by Miss Luo herself."

"I have fulfilled my promise back then, why doesn't Miss Luo let go?"

The tone was calm and firm, without the slightest wavering.

Luo Zhen's pupils shrank suddenly, and there seemed to be a boulder exploding beside his ears. There was a constant bang, and the bone-piercing chill poured from his heart to his limbs, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The exchange of benefits, the three-year agreement - she never imagined that this was the reason why Ning Rou left her.

Eight years ago, because she didn't want to marry Cheng An, she deliberately left the Luo family on the day of the university graduation ceremony.

She still remembered that it was a hot and rainy night in summer, when she was driving away from Tianhai City, she rescued a woman with injuries all over her body and whose origin was unknown.

She wanted to send the woman to the hospital, but the woman cried and refused. She had no choice but to take the woman away together.

When the two came to the countryside, she bought medicine for the woman and took good care of her for five days.

In order to escape the marriage between Cheng and Luo, she took the initiative to propose marriage to the woman——

"I will provide you with a place to live and everything you want, so that you don't have to worry about money for the rest of your life. How about you marry me? Don't worry, it's just a wife in name, I won't really do anything to you What, this marriage is just an exchange of interests that is good for you and me."

"Three years, no more than three years at most."

Who would refuse such a good condition?

The woman really agreed.

Luo Zhen wanted to take someone to get the certificate immediately, but it turned out that the woman was illiterate, and couldn't even write 'one, two, three, four'.

For the next few days, she taught women to write their own names.

Ning Rou, women can't learn such a simple word. Even when holding the pen, her hand trembles slightly.

This woman is really stupid, pitiful and cute.

This is Luo Zhen's first impression of Ning Rou.

A name, taught and forgotten, forgotten and taught again, practiced repeatedly for ten days, and finally I can almost write it silently.

It is enough to write your own name.

Luo Zhen really took Ning Rou to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

On the marriage registration book, Ning Rou's signature was written crookedly, which was obviously ugly, but every stroke fell on her heart accurately.

Two people get married like this, there is no wedding ceremony, no banquet, and no witnesses.

On the second day after getting the marriage certificate, Luo Zhenting happened to bring someone over to find her.

And she also successfully escaped the fate of being forced to marry into a family.

In the first two years of marriage, she was always very busy. The company's affairs could never be finished, and the mess left by Luo Zhenting could not be handled well. Sometimes a month passed, and the two of them didn't even see each other once.

But no matter how late she comes home, Ning Rou will always leave a lamp and a table of hot food for her.

When she leaves for work in the morning, Ning Rou will personally send her out.

Compared with other normal couples in this way of getting along, perhaps the only difference is that the two of them have never had a relationship.

Luo Zhen also couldn't tell when his heart moved.

She only knew that she wanted a home, a home that belonged only to herself, a home that had nothing to do with Luo Shi, and Ning Rou achieved this.

In getting along day and night, she found Ning Rou more and more pleasing to the eye and liked her more and more.

From the alienation in the past, to always playing tricks to create ambiguity to tease Ning Rou.

She likes the way Ning Rou obediently sits on the sofa waiting for her when she comes home in the middle of the night, and also likes the way Ning Rou hides in a corner and sulks after being bullied so badly by herself, and she likes how Ning Rou blushes and is at a loss after being molested by herself look.

In short, they are less and less like a pair of false lovers, but a pair of lovers in an ambiguous period.

Is three years enough?Three years is not enough.

Luo Zhen became greedy, so greedy that he wanted to occupy every three years of Ning Rou's remaining life.

In the third year of marriage, the two finally had a relationship.

Obviously, Luo Zhen took the initiative, but Ning Rou did not refuse.

In front of Luo Zhen, she has always been obedient and docile, as long as it is what Luo Zhen wants, she will never say a word 'no'.

Everything is so natural.

In the process of the two getting along, Luozhen's strong dominance is reflected in all aspects.

She moved into Ning Rou's room, and she began to bring Ning Rou back to the Luo family, officially introducing Ning Rou to the Luo family for the first time.

She didn't allow Luo Fanxing to call her sister, but she didn't stop Luo Fanxing from calling Ning Rou's sister-in-law.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she fell in love with Ning Rou.

Regarding all of this, Ning Rou did not show the slightest disgust or resistance.

She is always willing to obey Luo Zhen's every arrangement, with a smile, so obedient.

As a result, Luo Zhen completely forgot the original three-year agreement in those gentle and clean smiles.

She never thought that Ning Rou didn't love her, and she never thought that Ning Rou's obedience to herself——

In fact, I was just fulfilling my so-called promise, just thanking myself for saving my life back then, and thanking myself for providing me with a good life without worrying about food and clothing all these years.

The surrounding voices were still extremely noisy, but Luo Zhen couldn't hear anything.

She loosened her lips, her palms were cold, and her body was still trembling.

She saw Ning Rou bent down, picked up the mop from under her feet, then turned and left.

The action was crisp and neat, without any hesitation.

She wanted to stop it, but couldn't speak.

It wasn't until Ning Rou reached out to push the door open that she finally called out with a trembling voice——

"Rou Rou."

Ning Rou obviously heard it.

Even his back trembled.

She turned her head, still with a dull, docile expression on her face.

Luo Zhen's heart throbbed instantly, and his eyes turned red uncontrollably.

Ning Rou is so close to her, yet so far away.

She moved her lips, her throat was extremely sore, and several minutes passed before she asked the question that she dared not ask but had to ask——

"Did you ever like me?"

She used to be so sure that Ning Rou loved her and couldn't leave her, but now, she didn't even have the courage to talk about 'love' with Ning Rou.

Even, even the word 'like' was not emboldened.

In the dimly lit box, the turbulent tide of emotion flowed faintly in the air.

It was so obvious, but Ning Rou didn't seem to notice anything.

Standing in the shadow, Luo Zhen could only see Ning Rou shaking her head to herself, and then calmly read out the answer that she didn't even have the guts to think about in her previous favorite obedient tone.

"It's just a deal, Miss Luo—"

"Let's go back--"

Almost instantly, tears rolled down the eyes.

In the past five years, no matter how frustrating and painful the process of finding Ning Rou was, she never shed a single tear.

But now, Ning Rou only used four words to completely collapse her proud defense——

It's just a deal, how cruel must you be to say such a thing?

It was as if all their happiness in those three years was fake.

Luo Zhen blinked, and Ning Rou's face immediately became blurred.

She didn't see the deep guilt and pain hidden under Ning Rou's calm expression.

So much so that even the fingertips pinched the flesh of the palm without feeling it.
