Chapter 184: Suffering More
"Young Master."
Aunt Zhou didn't know how to persuade him now, thought for a while, and then said, "If Miss Ruan is with you, it will indeed be very painful and unhappy."
Do you have to tie her to you? Ji Chengyan looked at her blankly, not understanding what she meant.
Aunt Zhou continued: "Seeing that she is unhappy every day, will you still be happy? β
"Will I be happy to set her free?" He asked.
Aunt Zhou fell silent.
Indeed, no matter what, it will not be happy.
The so-called love is mostly suffering.
After Aunt Zhou left, Ji Chengyan stood in front of the window for a while before retracting his gaze, walked to his desk, picked up a document and went downstairs.
When he went downstairs, Ruan Xiaoxi was still watching the last bit of sunset by the window, and his eyes were full of reluctance to that little scenery and yearning for the outside world.
Ji Chengyan stood on the stairs and looked at her for a while, remembering what Aunt Zhou said just now.
She sat alone every day in a daze, day after day, becoming more and more silent, and sometimes she couldn't say a word for a day.
If she stays with him and suffers and is unhappy every day, is he still willing to keep her by his side? He asked himself, if all he saw every day was the lifeless Ruan Xiaoxi.
Is he willing to keep her by his side? The answer is clearly no.
And the mistake between the two of them started because of his fault, didn't it?
Ji Chengyan stood there for a while, and then slowly went downstairs.
Walked behind her and stood still.
She could clearly hear his footsteps, as he could clearly see her slender back stiffening.
It's just that she didn't look back and didn't speak.
In a posture of resistance and rejection, with your back to him.
Ji Chengyan finally shouted at her: "Ruan Xiaoxi." β
Ruan Xiaoxi had no choice but to turn around and look at him.
Counting, she hasn't seen him for a long time, and for the past few days, he hasn't lived here every day, and he usually has nothing to do, and he won't come here.
It's just that he occasionally comes over to get a document, but he leaves in a hurry.
It's even less likely that he will have anything to do with her.
It was the first conversation between the two of them since that night's altercation.
Both of them are in a very peaceful mood, and it seems that after that night, they can face each other more with their truest selves.
"How?" Her face was calm and her voice was cold.
She really didn't have any desire to talk to him now, just now Aunt Zhou came to tell her that when Ji Chengyan was waiting for her upstairs, she resisted from the bottom of her heart and didn't go to him.
I didn't expect him to take the initiative to come down to find her.
"You signed this."
Ji Chengyan was also neat and neat, and he didn't talk nonsense with her, put the document in his hand on the low machine in front of him, and then lightly tapped his slender fingers on it twice before taking it back.
After the fierce quarrel, neither of them wanted to say more nonsense to each other, and at this point, they still had a tacit understanding.
Ruan Xiaoxi looked down at the document he had placed on the low machine, and then reached out to pick it up.
After opening it, I found out that it was a leave of absence policy from the school, listing various reasons, saying that she could not go back to school and asked to study at home.
Looks like he's determined to keep her here.
Ruan Xiaoxi thought of this, and smiled sarcastically: "Why should I sign?" I don't want to rest at home, I'm in good health, I can go to school.
It's not voluntary, I don't sign it. β
Ji Chengyan seemed to have known that she would say this, and smiled unexpectedly: "I heard that Liu Wenwen's dream is to be a doctor. β
This sentence was brainless, but it suddenly made Ruan Xiaoxi's face change.
Ruan Xiaoxi finally had a trace of another emotion for him besides indifference and sarcasmβanger.
She frowned and looked at him angrily, "What do you want to do?" β
"I want a person who can't take the college entrance examination, it's very simple."
He made no secret of his threat.
"You bastard!" Ruan Xiaoxi opened his mouth to scold him.
Instead, he felt a little happier: "Hmm. β
Then he gestured with his chin to the document in her hand and asked lightly, "What now?" Can I sign it? "It's so easy to get a person to compromise.
As long as he has a weakness, there is nothing he cannot compromise.
Ji Chengyan has always understood this very well.
Apparently.
He also uses it very well.
Ruan Xiaoxi had already appreciated his more shameless appearance, so although he was annoyed by what he did today, he didn't feel strange.
If she said that if she didn't sign Ji Chengyan and wouldn't let her sign, it would make her wonder.
So she didn't say anything more to him, and simply signed her name on the last piece of paper, and then put the paper and pen on the low machine at random, and never looked at him again, and turned her head to lie down on the window.
Ji Chengyan saw that she didn't want to say a word to him, choked in his heart, bent down, picked up the file she had just put on the low machine, and then prepared to leave.
Ruan Xiaoxi seemed to suddenly remember something again, and turned his head to look at him: "That's right." β
Ji Chengyan's footsteps paused, and he also turned to look at her, and there was some expectation in his heart.
Although he didn't know what he was expecting.
Ruan Xiaoxi's expression was still cold, and she asked, "Since this has been signed, why don't you bring my termination contract to me to sign?" The contract she was talking about was, of course, her contract with his company's game streamer.
At the beginning, Ruan Xiaoxi considered that she would not stay by his side for too long, so she only signed a contract with him for half a year on the grounds that she would go to college in other places after graduating from high school, that is, on the day she graduated from high school.
It's obviously impossible now, no matter whether Ruan Xiaoxi can go back to school, or whether she can take the college entrance examination and go to school in other places, it is impossible for her to go back to being an anchor.
So should he also sign the termination contract with her? If the contract can be terminated, then Ruan Xiaoxi will not be completely rewarded this time.
It's just that Ji Chengyan listened to her question, but he also learned from her to ask her coldly: "Can you afford to pay liquidated damages?" β
"It's because of you that I can't fulfill my contract, shouldn't you pay me liquidated damages?" Ruan Xiaoxi looked at him coldly.
It was the most she had said in the past few days.
"I will continue to pay you wages, and I don't need you to broadcast live to me, so I don't count as a breach of contract."
Ji Cheng Yan smiled, "Then why did I terminate the contract with you?" Do you think I can't afford to pay your salary? β
"Are you so interesting?" Ruan Xiaoxi asked him.
"Yes."
Ruan Xiaoxi knew that it was useless to talk too much, so he simply stopped talking.
The sunset had already set, and she was no longer in the mood to continue watching the sunset, so she bent down and picked up the book she had taken to read at the beginning, flipped through it casually, and then took it and prepared to leave.
Ji Chengyan naturally didn't stop her and let her leave.
It wasn't until he couldn't hear her footsteps as she went upstairs that he turned around and walked out.
Aunt Zhou saw that he was leaving, and came over to stop him: "Young master, stay for dinner, right?" Ji Chengyan didn't look at her, and replied lightly: "I won't eat it." β
Just left, it seemed that there was no nostalgia.
Cold-hearted and heartless.
Ruan Xiaoxi watched his car drive away at great speed from upstairs, was silent for a while, then raised his hand and closed the curtains.
After Ji Chengyan left the villa, he drove aimlessly.
Then he drove the car to the mall.
The ghost sent him to the counter that sold mobile phones.
The shopping guide who sold the mobile phone greeted him warmly: "Handsome guy, do you want to buy a mobile phone?" Ji Chengyan frowned and nodded.
"For whom? For your own use? The shopping guide asked.
"No, give it to ......" Ji Chengyan said halfway, and suddenly didn't know how to describe Ruan Xiaoxi's relationship with him to her, and was stunned for a moment.
"To a girlfriend?" The shopping guide is quick to talk.
Ji Chengyan glanced up at her, then nodded and admitted, "Hmm." β
"The handsome guy is really sweet, come, how about you take a look at this? The new model just launched, especially for girls, she will definitely like it! In fact, you can also get a new one, this phone has a couple model, one black and one white, very well matched. β
It didn't take long for Ji Chengyan to walk out of the mall with two mobile phones.
"How so?" Ruan Jingya sat in her office and almost screamed.
It's been days since the last time, and she's been sitting in her office all day, anxious about the news.
