Cheng Mo Su's Fingertips glided over the plain Qipao, all of which she had once worn, now kept by Shangguan Shaoyi in this room. Her delicate Fingertips trembled slightly, and her Water-colored Eyes rippled with emotion. Since she had already signed the agreement, she would soon return to the Northwest with Ruan Yu. The brief reunion with Shaoyi was truly coming to an end, and it seemed impossible to meet again.
The mist in her Water-colored Eyes blurred her vision. A light knock sounded at the door, accompanied by familiar footsteps and a soothing voice. She paused for a moment, her Rose-Colored Lips slightly parting, "Is it Madam Shen? What is it?"
"Oh, it's like this. Tonight, the Shangguan Residence is holding a family banquet, and my young lady hopes that Madam Ruan can attend with Young Master Ruan."
She gently declined, "No need. I'm feeling a bit unwell. Please thank Madam Zhu for me; I won't be going."
"But Young Master Ruan has already agreed to attend."
She was taken aback and turned to look at the indifferent Ruan Yu, who smiled at her, his narrow eyes filled with inscrutable depth. She hesitated and replied, "Alright then, I will go."
As she heard the footsteps of Xiao Jing fading away, she finally expressed her anger, "What do you want, Ruan Yu? Last time you wanted me to meet Shaoyi and Jiang Yating, and when I refused, you tricked me into going and told others I was your wife. Now I truly do not wish to have anything to do with the Shangguan Family, what are you trying to do?"
"Very simple." Ruan Yu held a cigarette, the drifting smoke obscuring his handsome eyes. He gently blew out a smoke ring; the strong scent made Cheng Mo Su cough involuntarily. He smirked but showed no intention of extinguishing the cigarette.
"Su Er, I just want you to see that these people now refer to you as ‘Madam Ruan’, including Young Master Shangguan. Once you hear it enough times, you'll naturally recognize your position. The more you see those people, the more numb you'll become to past events; isn't that good?"
Cheng Mo Su lowered her beautifully shaped brows, her long Eyelashes shielding the waves rising in her Water-colored Eyes. Her Lip Corners were pressed together tightly without a word. Ruan Yu chuckled softly, his strong fingers gripping her chin while his other hand extinguished the cigarette on the plain table, leaving a dark shadow behind.
He stepped closer to Cheng Mo Su, cornering her against the wall. She raised her Eyes, defiantly staring at him; the anger brewing in her Water-colored Eyes startled him momentarily before he laughed again, "Are you regretting saving me now, Cheng Mo Su? Regretting helping me get anti-inflammatory medicine? If I had died, you wouldn't be trapped here; you'd be able to return to him. Are you wishing for my death now?"
"Ruan Yu, are you crazy?" She reached out to push him away, but he held her tightly. His thin lips uncontrollably sought the fragrance near her Rose-colored lips. Her eyes trembled violently as he gripped her delicate wrist tightly, leaving no room for movement.
"Yes, I am crazy." His breathing grew heavier, and his narrow eyes were clouded, about to lose control. She bit her Rose-Colored Lips hard, struggling against the increasing strength of his grip. He leaned close to her ear, sucking on her delicate earlobe. Unable to suppress her inner disgust, she exclaimed angrily, "Ruan Yu! You despicable man!"
For a moment, he stopped his actions, the complex light in his narrow eyes slowly gathering as he smirked with a sinister expression. "Yes, I am a despicable man. Do you know how I became the Young Marshal of the Northwest?"
Seeing him slowly release her, she let out a sigh of relief and slid down along the wall to sit on the ground, allowing the coldness to seep into her body. Although she was not interested in military affairs, she knew that how Ruan Yu reached the top was a secret no one dared to speak of. She shook her head, confusion evident in her Water-colored Eyes.
Ruan Yu chuckled darkly, gathering all his strength but choosing not to continue speaking. He reached out and pulled her up, fixing the disheveled strands of hair he had messed up earlier. The silky strands slipped through his fingers, stirring his heart as he gazed at her gently biting Rose-colored lips and sighed, "Get ready; we have to attend the banquet. We will return to the Northwest tomorrow night. This is our last moment together; don't you want to cherish it?"
She fell silent for a moment, reaching out to lightly adjust her dark hair and straighten the collar of her Qipao without excessive decoration or embellishment before pushing aside the curtain that separated the present from the past.
He narrowed his eyes and stepped forward alongside her.
All eyes were focused on the two figures slowly descending from the second floor. Cheng Mo's Water-colored Eyes lightly scanned familiar faces but suddenly froze.
Cheng Yi's hair had turned gray, and his posture was no longer straight. She could hardly suppress her trembling body, biting her Rose-Colored Lips tightly to keep herself from making a sound. To everyone else, she appeared calm and composed, yet in Shangguan Shaoyi's pitch-black pupils lay memories of old times.
Ruan Yu's narrow eyes flashed with a fierce light as he stared directly at Shangguan Shaoyi. This Shangguan Shaoyi had brought Cheng Yi out just to verify if she was Cheng Mo Su! A trace of malice slid through his mind as his fingers sought out the gun at his waist; he wished he could tear apart everyone in this room.
Cheng Yi slowly approached her, his fingers trembling uncontrollably. His murky eyes revealed a hint of longing for the mortal world as he grasped Cheng Mo Su tightly, tears streaming down uncontrollably. "Su'er, it's really you! I... I never thought I would see you again!"
"Get lost!" Ruan Yu initially wanted to kick Cheng Yi away but remembering that this was Cheng Mo Su's father, he instead wrapped his arms protectively around Cheng Mo Su. His gaze was sharp as a blade, an unmistakable malice flickering in his Eyes. "I tell you, she is my wife! Not what you think she is—Cheng Mo Su!"
He suddenly froze upon seeing Shangguan Shaoyi's cold gun barrel aimed directly at his head. Shangguan Shaoyi's harsh voice echoed in the air, "Apologize to my father-in-law!"
He let out a cold snort and disdainfully said, "Your father-in-law? Your current father-in-law is that old fox Jiang Shanghao. What does he have to do with Mr. Cheng?!"
"I only have one father-in-law, Mr. Cheng. If you don't apologize, I won't hesitate to kill you!" He raised his eyebrows, a chilling expression on his face.
"Oh? If you kill me, the agreement won't take effect. What will you do then?"
Shangguan Shaoyi coldly curled his lips, "You're about to die; there's no need to worry about what comes after!" He ignored Ruan Yu's threat and slowly squeezed the trigger with his long, powerful fingers.
