My Groom Ran Away

My Groom Ran Away Chapter 15.1

The third floor of the Ruan Company is a cafeteria.

During lunchtime, the staff cafeteria was filled with lively employees and the scent of delicious dishes filled the air.

The executive director Xia Lian was disappointed as she was not able to get a dish of pig trotters today, but she was relieved to be able to pick out several other good dishes before she sat down at a table on the west most side of the cafeteria.

Tian Jing of the secretary division was currently speaking——

“Last time, Lin Muyang said that President Cheng married Vice President Ruan just for the Bei Cheng project, but I don’t think so. They seem like such a sweet pair of husband and wife."

Gossip flew quickly within the company. After all, work was difficult, so they would always look for something entertaining to keep their mind off it.

A few days ago, the face-off with Vice President Ruan stimulated many people’s imaginations and for the past few days, everyone was talking about it.

Thinking about the Bentley that came to pick up Vice President Ruan after work every day, Xia Lian sighed. “Sigh, my husband has never come to pick me up after work. It seems like I need to make him kneel on a keyboard more.”

Xiang Bin raised a brow and helped her male compatriot retort back. “Well, that’s because you and Brother Yu are on opposite sides of the city. By the time he gets here, you would have already reached home. You can’t just blame him for this.”

Xia Lian truly was envious, but getting him to kneel on a keyboard was just a joke. Hearing that, she nodded with a smile. Then she heard Tian Jing say, “Vice President Ruan...”

She looked up. The woman had light makeup on, but her appearance was still beautiful. She was wearing a simple suit and her eyes looked as though they came right out of a painting. Her fluffy chestnut-colored hair fell in waves around her and added a bit of softness to her image.

Especially her pair of perfect phoenix eyes that showed off her gentle temperament. She was truly extremely beautiful.

Looking at the gazes on her, Ruan Zhiyin smiled and said, “There are no seats. Do you mind if I join you?”

“Sit, sit.”

Xiang Bin quickly reacted and pushed the trays around and made some space for Ruan Zhiyin.

The Ruan Company’s office was located in the business district, and the staff cafeteria was not bad. But there were also many delicious restaurants for takeout in the area.

Xiang Bin had been Ruan Zhiyin’s assistant for half a year and knew that she would seldom come to the staff cafeteria unless she was so busy and forgot to order takeout.

His thoughts were correct, Ruan Zhiyin had really forgotten to order takeout. But it was not because she was busy, it was because she could not figure out what Cheng Yuelin was thinking.

Every day he would send her to and from work, but once they were in the car, they would not speak. Maybe it was because Cheng Yuelin did not want to give her any attention, but he would still eat the breakfast she made every day.

Living under the same roof, Ruan Zhiyin really did not know how to get along with Cheng Yuelin. She was not a very proactive person when it came to interpersonal relationships.

Just as she was thinking, Tian Jing suddenly looked at her with eyes filled with curiosity and excitement.

Tian Jing was Ruan Zhiyin’s current secretary, so she was not afraid to speak her mind. Besides, Ruan Zhiyin was not a harsh boss and would occasionally chat with her employees.

After the young lady deliberated for a moment, she tentatively asked, “President Ruan, how did you and President Cheng meet?”

Ruan Zhiyin looked at her and hid nothing. She laughed and said, “We were high school classmates and we were even desk mates.”

Hearing her words, Tian Jing’s eyes lit up, and she was immersed into a romantic fantasy for some idol drama with high school sweethearts. Ruan Zhiyin avoided her gaze, feeling a little guilty, but she could not bear to break her fantasy.

Besides, Cheng Yuelin also stated in the contract that they would pretend to be in love.

In the past few days, the rumors in the company had changed from Qin Jue rejecting the marriage for true love to her and Cheng Yuelin having long been engaged and were deeply in love with each other.

But reality and fantasy were as different as heaven and earth.

In their second year of high school, Cheng Yuelin did not have a desk mate. But in the third year, the number of people in their class went from odd to even.

At that time, no one dared to sit at the same table as Cheng Yuelin and everyone’s avoidance caused this problem to fall into Ruan Zhiyin’s lap.

Neither of them was prepared to give an inch. Cheng Yuelin would brazenly make trouble while Ruan Zhiyin would quietly retaliate in the shadows.

There was definitely no romance.
