Chapter 1399 Reflection, Truly Facing
Chapter 1399 Reflection, Truly Facing
Seventeen seemed to be controlled and could no longer run. A warm breath blew on his neck, and he screamed in fear.
"what--"
His mouth was immediately covered, and Seventeen opened his eyes wide. The terrifying memories in the darkness instantly flooded into his mind in multiples.
"Qiqi, it's me..." Rong Zhen's face was close to her, his hand still tightly covering her mouth, and his other large free hand was stroking her body, "Qiqi, I think we can form a family and give Tengyue a real home."
Seventeen pushed Rong Zhen hard with her hands and struggled hard. Rong Zhen held Seventeen tightly and would not let go. Seventeen bent her legs and kicked him, breaking free from his lips, "You are despicable!"
"I just want to love you and marry you, Qiqi. There's no one more suitable than you. You also like Tengyue. You don't reject me, right?"
"Go away, get out, if you continue like this I will call for help..."
"Go ahead and shout. My mother has known that I like you, so she won't object. But you are so shy. Do you really want my mother to see us like this?" Qi Yao said in a deep voice, reaching out to pull at her clothes. The two of them were in a tug of war, one guarding and the other attacking.
"Rong Zhen, don't make me hate you!" Seventeen suddenly shouted, "If you do this, I'll leave tomorrow!"
Rong Zhen was stunned for a moment, "Qiqi!"
Seventeen let go, sneered at him, and let him do whatever he wanted. "Come on, we're all adults anyway. It's just sex. It's not like we haven't done it before. This can just be used as the cost of my food and lodging at your house for half a year."
"Qiqi, I won't allow you to insult yourself like this!" Rong Zhen shouted angrily. Shiqi smiled, pushed him away, stood up and turned on the light.
She stood at the door, her knees rising and falling, revealing her anger at the moment. She didn't look at him and said in a deep voice, "Get out!"
Rong Zhen sat by the bed and wiped his face with his hand, "Qiqi, I..."
"Get out!" Seventeen spoke again, his voice much louder.
Rong Zhen finally walked out dejectedly, his face dark. "Since you're still thinking about him, why don't you go find him? I thought you never left. Liking Teng Yue was one reason, and I also thought you had feelings for me. Haha, I didn't expect that I was just being sentimental."
"Mr. Rong," Seventeen called softly as Rong Zhen left, his voice now natural. "Perhaps I misunderstood you. You're not who I first thought you were."
"Are you disappointed?" Rong Zhen asked in a low voice.
Seventeen shook his head. "That's how businessmen are, right? It's not disappointment."
What kind of businessman is this? When she first met him, his harmlessness led her to misunderstand him. Perhaps at that time, he was simply missing his deceased wife and young daughter, maximizing his kindness. But in reality, how could a businessman with such ambitions be truly innocent? His occasional artistic flair was perhaps just a nostalgia for his former, simpler self.
"Go to sleep, I promise this will never happen again." Rong Zhen went into his own room.
Seventeen leaned against the door and could no longer sleep in the second half of the night.
Early in the morning, Shiqi prepared breakfast, knocked on Rong Zhen's door first, and then went to Teng Yue's room. Rong Zhen's mother got up quite early and was exercising outside.
"Yueyue, get up and eat."
Seventeen picked up the little girl and changed her clothes while she had her eyes closed. She put on the new pair of shoes she bought last night, then took the child to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.
After all this tossing and turning, he finally woke up, shaking his head and shouting that he wanted to sleep more. Seventeen kissed little Tengyue on the face and pulled him out for breakfast.
At this time, Rong Zhen and Rong's mother also arrived. It was a morning no different from any other, but the quietness at the dinner table seemed a little different.
"Let me take Tengyue to school today. You didn't sleep well last night, so you should have a good rest at home." Rong Zhen whispered.
Seventeen was silent for a long time. He looked at Tengyue and gently touched the little girl's head. "Let's go together."
Rong Zhen's mother looked at her son and Seventeen strangely. How could her son know whether she slept well? Could it be that yesterday, the two of them...
Rong's mother's face gradually showed joy. After all, this Zhuang family was much better than the previous Taiwanese family. The former was spoiled by his son and became lawless. Not to mention making breakfast for the family, he couldn't even get them to get up a few minutes earlier to eat ready-made breakfast.
This Zhuang Jia, apart from having a somewhat dull personality, is good in all aspects. She is good-looking, virtuous, and most importantly, she is very good at taking care of her granddaughter. Rong's mother thought that it would not be bad to have such a woman around her son.
After sending the children to school, Rong Zhen and Shi Qi got in the car again. Rong Zhen asked her, "I'll drive you home. Do you want to go to the supermarket to buy something?"
"The supermarket isn't open at this hour." Seventeen said softly, "Leave me at the intersection. I'll take a taxi back."
"I'll take you home." Rong Zhen whispered.
If she drove, would it be necessary to go through so much trouble? However, fortunately, this place is not far from the community, and it only takes a few minutes.
"I'm sorry about what happened last night. I was impulsive and didn't consider your feelings. I promise I will never do it again." Rong Zhen was driving the car, his eyes fixed on the front. He was not talking to Shiqi, but more like talking to himself.
"Yeah, it's okay." Seventeen responded softly.
"Please forgive me?" Rong Zhen said again, this time looking at her.
"I didn't take it to heart." Seventeen said seriously.
Rong Zhen parked his car outside the community. Shiqi got out of the car, turned around and waved to him, then went straight in.
After returning home, Shiqi packed up and left. He didn't have much money on him and didn't know where to go, so he wandered around the streets.
Seventeen finally went to the banker's hotel, reported his father's name, and checked in.
From the moment she stepped into the hotel, it meant that she would accept the past and face everything that was to come.
I've been avoiding him for so long, there's no point in hiding any longer. I can't avoid him forever.
Having never suffered any hardship or injustice since childhood, I've lived a smooth life for over twenty years. That's why I collapsed under such continuous blows. If you can't let go of everything, just face it head-on.
Parents, husband, children, all the past and future, nothing is more difficult than those painful years, so there is no point in escaping.
Seventeen slept for only a short while in the hotel. When she opened her eyes, everything she could think of appeared in front of her. Even Mu Ning was there, squinting her narrow eyes and looking at her. When she saw her looking at her, she immediately smiled foolishly at her.
"Sister Seventeen is awake." Mu Ning said.
Zhuang Zhoucheng, Huo Yan, Kou Quan, Mu Ning, his younger brother Zhuang Shijue, Zai'an Zairen, and the aunt holding the baby who couldn't walk.
"Qiqi." Huo Yan walked over and sat beside the bed, his eyes red, no doubt because he had been crying.
Seventeen hugged his mother and said, "Mom, I'm back."
Everyone understands what Seventeen means by “I’m back”.
