SIAS Chapter 210.1

When thinking about this, more details that Zheng Xiaolong had not noticed and thought about before came to mind.

It seemed that since he could remember, he had never seen Chen Ruru wear a skirt. She always wore long clothes and long pants. She never wore the clothes his mother bought for her, saying that she didn’t want to get tanned, as it didn’t look good.

Zheng Xiaolong thought that she was too hypocritical at that time!

He couldn’t remember when it started. If she were really being abused, some of her hypocritical and weird behaviors seemed to have a reasonable explanation.

Suddenly, an unspeakable sense of self-blame and guilt surged in his heart. He said that he treated her as a sister, but he was too incompetent as a brother. He never thought about why she was like this. He just thought that she was spoiled, arrogant, and always made trouble unreasonably.

Zheng Xiaolong felt mixed emotions, turned around, and rushed into Li Mengxue’s house.

“Hey, what are you doing?” He ran too fast, and Li Mengxue couldn’t catch him.

She cursed, “How reckless!”

Fearing that he was too direct and would irritate Chen Ruru, she hurriedly followed him. Yi Qingqing also followed closely behind.

When Zheng Xiaolong went in, Chen Ruru was eating. Her right hand was injured, so Qian Lailai fed her with a spoon. Her cheeks were bulging, and she ate mouthful by mouthful, like a well-behaved child.

Zheng Xiaolong rushed in, without saying a word, grabbed Chen Ruru’s sleeve, and rolled it up.

The glaring marks on it caught his eye, leaving him no room to dodge.

Zheng Xiaolong was both regretful and angry: “You… Why didn’t you say anything!”

Chen Ruru hid her arm in panic: “I accidentally bumped into it on the way here. It’s okay.”

Zheng Xiaolong used to be a bit thick-skinned, but he was not a fool.

“Don’t lie to me. It was Aunt Xu who did it, right? You insisted on marrying me. Was it because of her that you were forced to do that?”

Chen Ruru smiled and retorted: “No, I bumped into it myself. It has nothing to do with my mother! My engagement with you was exchanged for my father’s life, so I must marry you!”

Before Li Mengxue entered the door, she heard Zheng Xiaolong’s somewhat irritable voice. Just as she was about to say something to him, Yi Qingqing held her back.

Yi Qingqing found that Chen Ruru’s situation was much better than she thought.

Chen Ruru seemed to be too obsessed with marrying Zheng Xiaolong and fulfilling the engagement. In addition, because she had been abused for a long time, she didn’t feel pain when she was injured. Her emotions were actually quite stable. Let Zheng Xiaolong ask, maybe there would be some new discoveries.

After all, it seems that Chen Ruru treats Zheng Xiaolong very differently. Even if she is forced to do so, she may be used to facing Zheng Xiaolong in a flattering way.

Zheng Xiaolong looked at Chen Ruru, who lied with a smile. She said the words that he had heard countless times, and his ears were about to be calloused, that she must marry him. But her tone did not change.

His heart seemed to be grabbed by something.

In the past, he only thought that Chen Ruru would never listen to his rejection, but today, he noticed the difference for the first time.

She seemed to have only said that she wanted to marry him, but never said that she liked him.

Zheng Xiaolong realized that this might be an opportunity to resolve the entanglement between him and Chen Ruru.

He calmed down and asked, “Besides because of Uncle Chen, do you have any other reason to marry me?”
