My Groom Ran Away Chapter 20.2

After driving back to the villa, she opened the door and entered. As she changed her shoes and walked into the living room, she saw the unusual sight of Cheng Yuelin laying back on the sofa lazily watching TV.

On the large and clear screen, a movie was playing.

Ruan Zhiyin glanced at it and found that it was a classic rom-com.

She raised an eyebrow before a sudden memory of Cheng Yuelin surfaced in her mind.

When this movie was released, Ruan Zhiyin was in her third year of Senior High. Qin Xiang had said that she had asked her brother to buy two tickets, and she had asked her to go watch the movie together on the weekend.

When Qin Jue helped deliver the tickets, Cheng Yuelin had glanced at the tickets in her hand before he sneered and arrogantly commented—pointless.

At that time, the disdain in his eyes was extremely strong.

Who would have known that his tastes had changed so much over the years, that he could now watch it with relish?

Putting away her confusion, Ruan Zhiyin opened her mouth to ask him, “Why did you come back so early?"

She knew that Cheng Yuelin was going to a get-together with Qian Fan and his friends. But currently it was not even nine o’clock.

Cheng Yuelin did not even look back at her. He turned the volume down on the TV and lazily said. "Oh, it ended early."

After speaking, he casually added, “Bai Bo said that you saw Zhao Bing today?"

Ruan Zhiyin looked up at him and thought about the wording for a moment before she nodded. "Yes, I ran into her today. Your... ex-stepmother... is quite special."

"Are you saying she is stupid?"

Cheng Yuelin sneered and shook his head.

Ruan Zhiyin shrugged in a noncommittal way. She did not say that, she thought to herself.

Cheng Yuelin, on the other hand, smiled and laughed in a clear voice. “You made her quite mad.”

Then, as though he had thought of something, he said, “Ruan Yingying, you have made quite a lot of progress recently."

Quite. A. Lot. Of. Progress.

She remembered the last time Cheng Yuelin had praised her like this was the day after the wedding, while they headed to the Ruan family home.

At that time, she had lavished him with all sorts of praises and, in the end, she was “honored” to receive a compliment from him.

Seeing the man slightly lift up his chin, Ruan Zhiyin’s mouth twitched slightly before she paused and said, “Thank... you."

Just as she was about to put the crabs that Butler Liu had given her into the refrigerator, she suddenly remembered what Zhao Bing had said today.

She clenched her fist and hesitated for a long time before she turned her head and frowned as she met Cheng Yuelin's gaze.

“Cheng Yuelin.”

“Hm?”

“No matter what the problem is, you won’t be scared of telling your illnesses to the doctor, right?”

Cheng Yuelin: “?”

He was a little puzzled, but he nodded and said, “If I’m sick, of course I would see the doctor. What sort of problem or illness are you talking about?”

“That... How would I know?”

Although he was a little confused, Ruan Zhiyin did not think that he would continue to discuss such an embarrassing issue.

She unnaturally bit her lips and her eyes fell upon her box of crabs. She changed the subject and said, “I brought a box of crabs back from the family home. Do you want to eat? I could steam some?”

Cheng Yuelin looked at the crab in her hands and, as though he thought of something, he lightly nodded his head.

Ruan Zhiyin breathed a sigh of relief and entered the kitchen.

There was only Cheng Yuelin left in the living room, but before long, the phone on the coffee table vibrated twice.

He turned off the TV and picked it up. It turned out that Qian Fan had sent a few WeChat messages.

Qian Fan: “Brother Lin, guess who I just bumped into!”

Qian Fan: “Damn, Lin Zhe is actually working at the club!”

Qian Fan: “I had asked a few people, and they said that Qin Jue had fired him. Since he offended sister-in-law, he could not return to the Ruan Company. So, his father could only arrange for him to work at the club.

Qian Fan: “Brother Lin, Qin Jue is still trying to steal your girl! You can’t let him steal her back!”

Qian Fan: “Brother Lin, don’t just rely on sister-in-law to be nice to you. Do you know what the crematorium route* is? What if you end up becoming a tool for Qin Jue?”

Cheng Yuelin glanced at the words and typed back: “Crematorium”

After contemplating for a moment, the man moved his fingers.

The next second.

Cheng Yuelin: “Do you want Qin Jue to die and then we will send him to the cemetery?”

...

Cheng Yuelin: “There is no need. He has a father*.”

*TN: Crematorium route is part of a saying, ‘if you abuse your wife today, you would feel great for the moment, but you would follow your wife to the crematorium’. It means that the husband would be the one suffering in the end, as they would live together with the wife until both died.

Cheng Yuelin’s ‘he has a father’ refers to that he had a father who could send him off to the other side, Cheng Yuelin misunderstood Qian Fan’s words.
