\t515\tThe sparkling Seine is calm and serene, and on the bank, a few tall and straight French plane trees spread out their huge canopies, and their huge green and yellow leaves are rubbed by the wind.

The leaves of this plane tree tend to survive the cold winter until around spring, when they crumble until they wither.

At this time, there happened to be a few yellowed leaves, blown off by the wind, fluttering, and finally falling on the garden railing, resting quietly.

\tYang Chen looked blankly at the leaves falling on the black dirt in front of his feet, and he didn't know how much time had passed, it seemed to be a long time, it seemed to be only a few seconds, but he felt that his brain was blank for a while, and after a long time, he turned his head to look at Lin Ruoxi with an indifferent expression, and then grinned reluctantly: "You know."

\t "You wish I didn't know?"

"Actually, I don't have to be surprised, it must be Christine's big mouth, tell you", Yang Chen smiled bitterly.

\t "She told me something, but I want to hear it from you, of course, you don't have to answer," Lin Ruoxi said.

\t "There's nothing to hope for, whether you know it or not, it's a thing of the past. It's like everyone did some stupid things when they were young, and they will be ashamed to say it when they grow up, but what exists exists, you try to forget it yourself, and adults will always remember", Yang Chen smiled, "Of course, the matter between me and Seventeen can't be considered as simple as a child doing stupid things, and I have never thought of forgetting her...... Anyway, I'm glad you know Seventeen from Christine, which at least means that you're going to talk to her privately for me."

\t Lin Ruoxi still had no expression, looked at Yang Chen silently for a while, and asked faintly, "You still love her, right?"

Yang Chen shook his head, looked ahead, and said, "Love, I don't know, we already knew each other when we were children." In the twenty-one or two years before I returned to Huaxia, she had always been the most special existence by my side. She's not my friend because she's more affectionate than a friend and we can fight for each other. She wasn't my lover because we never fell in love or even sent each other any tokens. She's not my lover either, she never listens to me, or she wouldn't have left me willfully in the end...... She...... It's such a special woman......"

\t Lin Ruoxi listened quietly, looking at the sometimes smiling and sometimes painful look on Yang Chen's face, I don't know why, Lin Ruoxi felt that his heart hurt so much, as if countless needletips were constantly piercing the tender flesh in his heart, but Lin Ruoxi couldn't tell whether it was for him or for himself.

"If you want to ask me if I still love her, I don't know how to tell you. I've never said 'I love you' to Seventeen, and I haven't said more love words to her than I have ever said to you in a day. I've always felt that she is like the other half of my life, and when I'm with her, even if I know that my world is dark, it will give me peace of mind......

\tThat's how I feel about her, is it an answer to your question?" Yang Chen asked with a smile after speaking.

\t Lin Ruoxi didn't answer, but continued to ask: "Christine told me that I look alike to Seventeen, is that so?"

\t "Yes, your temperament, your eyes, are very similar to Seventeen, very similar. However, Seventeen is not as beautiful as you...... Christine has only met seventeen times, and she happened to meet her once when she was in the United States, but she doesn't know much, if she says something nonsense, you can ignore it at all", Yang Chen said.

Lin Ruoxi grabbed the railing in front of him with a pair of fair-skinned hands, couldn't help but tremble a little, calmed down the waves in his heart, and then asked, "In your eyes, am I a substitute for Seventeen?"

After asking this sentence, Lin Ruoxi seemed to have spent all his strength, but he still stood up straight and looked directly into Yang Chen's eyes with blazing eyes.

A stirring spirit in Yang Chen's mind suddenly remembered what Lin Ruoxi said inexplicably when he came out of the backstage of Yoo Yeon-hee's concert that day......

\t"I'm just a substitute in your eyes anyway......"

\tThat's right! It was she who knew about Seventeen's existence at the time, and knew that she was similar to Seventeen!

\t Yang Chen suddenly felt very ridiculous, laughed twice, almost didn't laugh out of tears, and sighed: "No wonder you said to me last time inexplicably, saying that you are just a 'substitute'." Ruoxi baby, you're too good at cranky. You are you, seventeen is seventeen, for me, seventeen is an indelible memory, and now, you are my wife.

\tIf I really think of you as a substitute for Seventeen, why would I go to so much trouble hoping that you would accept me. To put it mildly, if you're just a replacement, why should I care so much about your feelings?"

Lin Ruoxi stared at Yang Chen for a while, and suddenly a strange smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "At the beginning in the café, I asked you to marry me, but you didn't want to, and when I was about to jump off the building in the end, you stopped me, and then readily agreed...... At that time, you must have noticed that I was very similar to Seventeen, so I changed so quickly, right?"

\t Yang Chen didn't understand why Lin Ruoxi suddenly thought of something so early, but the situation at that time was indeed vivid, it was Lin Ruoxi's glance back before jumping off the building, which reminded him of the decisive look when he left Seventeen, it is undeniable that if it weren't for that glance, Yang Chen would definitely not have agreed to the abrupt request to get married, and there would not have been so many things later.

\t "Yes, I said, your eyes, your temperament, very similar to Seventeen", Yang Chen nodded, "However, this does not mean that I regard you as a substitute for Seventeen!

\t Lin Ruoxi lowered his head and laughed, "In this way, I should be grateful to Seventeen, if it weren't for the fact that she is very similar to me, I might have jumped off the building and died at the beginning, even if I didn't die, I would have been killed by that man and Xu Zhihong, or I would have been taken away from everything and become someone else's plaything...... I ought to be thankful for Seventeen, shouldn't I?"

\tIn the end, Lin Ruoxi's eyes suddenly welled up with crystal tears, and tears ran down her cheeks and dripped uncontrollably into the grass on the ground.

Although Lin Ruoxi tried his best to hide it, the trembling of his body became more and more powerful.

\t Yang Chen was a little dazed, he didn't understand, why suddenly Lin Ruoxi cried, he thought that his answer could make Lin Ruoxi feel at ease, untie the knot between the two of them, and go further emotionally, but now it seems that the result is just the opposite!

\t"Lin Ruoxi, what's wrong with you?Didn't you say it well!?Why do you cry!?I've said it many times, you're not a substitute for Seventeen!You're unique to me!You're my wife!You're ...... Why are you crying!?

Yang Chen felt that things were not under his control at all, and the anger in his heart began to rise, and his tone couldn't help but increase a little, and he called Lin Ruoxi's name directly.

\t Lin Ruoxi didn't reply, continued to lower her head, and her tears were like broken pearls, and she couldn't stop falling.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the people in the venue were afraid of Yang Chen, and Sauron was holding his hand behind him to prevent people from approaching, Yang Chen might not have been depressed.

\tWho wants to let others see, as a man, talking and talking about his wife crying!?

In the end, Lin Ruoxi held back her tears and slowly raised her head, although her eyes were red, at least she was not so unbearable.

The faint foundation on her face was stained with tears, and this woman, who has always been extremely independent and strong, is like a languid tulip at this time, looking particularly delicate and pitiful.

Yang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and asked as kindly as possible: "Ruoxi, what's wrong with you, you make me don't know how to say it like this." ”

Lin Ruoxi's ruddy eyes stared at Yang Chen's face, and she smiled poignantly: "Christine said that Seventeen is the only woman who is pregnant with your child, is that so?"

\t Yang Chen nodded, this is undoubtedly the eternal double pain in his heart, Seventeen and the child in the womb, if it weren't for this woman and the unborn flesh and blood, who fell into the icy cliff tide in front of his eyes, he would not have been disillusioned at the beginning, sobered up from the killing and desire, and returned to Huaxia alone, intending to live his life.

Seeing Yang Chen's demented expression, Lin Ruoxi smiled more and more sadly, and said, "Then I'll ask you one last question." ”

\t"You...... You say", Yang Chen subconsciously felt something, and his heart began to feel strongly apprehensive and uneasy.

\t Lin Ruoxi opened his mouth word by word and asked, "If, Seventeen and the child, can I return to you now and give you a chance, will you still choose to let me be your wife?"

\t"Shut !!"

Yang Chen roared, his expression instantly became a little hideous, a pair of eyes stared at Lin Ruoxi, and bloodshot appeared.

\t"Seventeen...... Seventeen and the child...... Already...... It's no longer there", Yang Chen's voice trembled, and he said bitterly, "Such a question, such a question...... There's no need to think about ......."

Seeing Yang Chen's distorted face that was almost in a frenzy, Lin Ruoxi didn't mean to be afraid at all, but smiled a little more easily, and said in a low voice: "I knew it would be like this...... Although you say that I am not a substitute for Seventeen in your eyes. But in fact, from the moment you are willing to marry me, you subconsciously think so.

\tIn your heart, there has never been a real separation between me and Seventeen, and if it weren't for Seventeen, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to be your wife at all. ”
