World 4 Chapter 56

Chapter 56.

The aroma of the delicious food and the lively voices around them formed another world for the two of them. They were them, while Lan Rujue and Tangli were the second world.

The sudden tears caught Tangli off guard. What Lan Rujue said made her even more concerned. Tangli hid her inner panic. She pretended to smile disapprovingly, looked at Lan Rujue and said, "What's going on here?"

Lan Rujue couldn't hide her joy. She didn't even bother to wipe her tears. She took Tangli's hand without hesitation and walked out.

Tangli was flustered. Looking at Lan Rujue's back, she couldn't say anything else for a while.

She didn't know what was going on with her. When faced with Lan Rujue's tears and her words just now, Tangli felt nothing but distress.

Feeling distressed? Why is there this surprising emotion?

And how could she be so confused by Lan Rujue's tears?

Tangli shook her head and drove all these messy thoughts out of her mind. She quickly followed Lan Rujue. As she walked, she saw Shi Chaoyan standing in the other direction. The two looked at each other in wonder. Shi Chaoyan put her hands together and flattered Tangli with a smile on his face. All of Tangli's confusions were explained at this moment.

It turns out that this guy is the culprit!

She gave Shi Chaoyan a distant look and let Shi Chaoyan taste it for herself.

Tang Li turned his head back angrily and ignored Shi Chaoyan.

But Tangli had another doubt. Looking at Shi Chaoyan's guilty expression, she knew that she definitely didn't hold back and confessed herself. She already knew that Lan Rujue had investigated Shi Chaoyan, so she would be pressured by Lan Rujue. The forced confession was expected.

Now comes the question, did Shi Chaoyan tell Lan Rujue the whole truth? What did she say to Lan Rujue that made Lan Rujue cry?

This guy dares to make Lan Rujue cry!

Tangli's face darkened. Sooner or later, she would settle this debt with Shi Chaoyan!

"Sister Rujue, where are you taking me?"

The private restaurant is quietly and elegantly decorated. The boss specially invited a garden master to design this place, which is not only delicious but also elegant. Therefore, through the corridor, you can find the back garden for a leisurely walk after dinner.

The ginkgo tree of unknown age is already covered with yellow leaves and has been planted in the open-air garden. Next to it is a rockery pavilion where you can enjoy the shade. However, it is early autumn and no one wants to come here to enjoy the cold wind.

But today we have two women with their own concerns. Lan Rujue brought Tangli to the bench in the corridor. She took off her coat and put it on Tangli. She grabbed her shoulders with both hands and stared at Tangli, said: "This is the quietest place, so for the time being I will ask Xiao Li to accompany me and enjoy the cold breeze."

In fact, Lan Rujue was confused when she cared. There were high courtyard walls everywhere, and the bench she found was in a corner where the wind would not come. There was also a ginkgo tree in front of them to block all the noise for the two of them. With the wind and sight, it can be said that this is an excellent place for a heart-to-heart talk, there is nothing cold about it.

Her concern and thoughtfulness made Tangli smile, "It's okay, I'm not cold at all."

Lan Rujue squatted half-crouched and raised her head slightly. This posture was more like letting go of all her arrogance. When facing Tangli, she was a normal person who would feel uneasy. She was definitely not the cold-faced Lan Rujue in front of others, it seems indestructible.

Lan Rujue's eyes were full of tears. This was the first time she knew that she was still a crybaby. Lan Rujue pursed her lips and smiled self-deprecatingly. She spoke slowly and said, "Xiaoli, do you remember that I used to asked you if you know Shi Chaoyan."

Tangli nodded calmly.

Lan Rujue took the initiative to explain, "I met her and learned some things from her that I never knew."

The rustling of ginkgo leaves was very similar to the background sound when she and Shi Chaoyan were talking. The noise was in sharp contrast to the deserted atmosphere at that time. The excitement never belonged to the two of them.

At that time, Shi Chaoyan hesitated for a moment, but chose to show off her cards to Lan Rujue and tell her what Fu Kexin had originally planned to do.

Shi Chaoyan leaned against the wall, stood opposite her, and whispered: "Although this is the first time I met you, I know from your conversation that you must be a thoughtful person. Since you have investigated Jiang Chen and me, It should have been discovered that I have contact with Miss Tang."

She confessed what happened to Tang Li, with a look of reminiscence on her face, and said: "There is nothing to say between Miss Tang and I. It is nothing more than a relationship of mutual use. In short, she hopes that I can firmly hold Jiang Chen's heart, so that he can't marry you. The other one is President Fu. You attracted her attention and she wanted to attack you. Tonight's dinner itself is plotting against you."

Lan Rujue sneered and murmured: "It's exactly as I expected."

Shi Chaoyan raised his eyebrows disdainfully and mocked Lan Rujue, "At that time, I thought Miss Tang was the same as me."

"Same as you?" Lan Rujue didn't like this sentence and her tone suddenly changed.

When she saw Lan Rujue's jealous expression, as if she had seen something funny, she laughed and said, "Yes, I thought Miss Tang hated you as much as I did, otherwise how could she come and help me. Without Jiang Chen as the groom, your wedding will become a joke. In this world, if a man does something wrong, he will not be laughed at by everyone. If he escapes from marriage, he will be said to be pursuing true love. Only you will be criticized. So Miss Tang helped me, and I regarded her as my ally. But..."

Lan Rujue refused to miss any changes in Shi Chaoyan and stared at her closely.

In response to this sharp look, Shi Chaoyan did not dare to continue to whet her appetite, and said helplessly: "But I was very wrong. Miss Tang should not hate you, but rather protect you. A few days ago, I learned from the special assistant that President Fu had plans for you, so I told Miss Tang. I originally planned to push things along and let you learn a painful lesson through President Fu's hands. After all, I am jealous of you and living the life I dream of, so I thought Miss Tang would support me."

When Lan Ruju heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

She has too many unsolved mysteries that she wants to get answers to, and tonight she can get the key to the answers from Shi Chaoyan.

Shi Chaoyan sighed in frustration, "Miss Tang didn't support me, and she also gave me a stern warning. She said that if I dared to do anything bad to you, she would fall out with me. Hey, I was pretty sad at that time, thinking that Miss Tang was too cruel, but then I thought about it, we are just a cooperative relationship, not even friends, so what should I be sad about? From that time on, I knew that Miss Tang and I were different. She not only not hates you, she probably loves and hates you at the same time."

"Then today, I accidentally discovered President Fu's plan. Since Miss Tang warned me, I didn't want her to think that I was a person who broke my word, so I told her the plan."

Shi Chaoyan was finally willing to look at Lan Rujue's position this time, and she said: "You should know better than me about what happens next. Miss Tang saved you and notified me to leak the place where you two ate. In this way we met."

Lan Rujue stood there quietly without speaking, her head slightly lowered, making it impossible to explore her expression.

Shi Chaoyan frowned, she had been talking here for a long time, why didn't Lan Rujue react at all?

"Hey, are you mute?"

Lan Rujue covered her face with her hands, her shoulders shaking. She never left her vulnerable side to outsiders, but today she really couldn't help it.

Her voice changed, and she said hoarsely: "Thank you for telling me all this."

"Originally I didn't want to tell you, but I think you must have a plan waiting for me. If I speak earlier, I might not have to suffer any injustice. Fortunately, I promised Miss Tang that I would not betray her, but in the end, I still become a villain."

Lan Rujue smiled, passed by Shi Chaoyan, and said, "Thanks this time."

She never let Shi Chaoyan see her gaffe, she just left Shi Chaoyan with a back view.

Because she couldn't wait to see Tangli and wanted to tell Tangli all her inner thoughts.

After Lan Rujue recounted her conversation with Shi Chaoyan in an orderly manner, Tangli's fingertips felt cold.

Tangli remained silent, her expression complex and difficult to understand.

Lan Rujue buried her face in her hands and said in a low voice, "Xiaoli, you care about me."

Tangli's cold palm suddenly received a drop of tear. In fact, it had no warmth, but the tear gave Tangli a stinging feeling, which was so painful that it made Tangli's eyes sore.

Listening to Lan Rujue's statement, she understood that Lan Rujue had misunderstood her true intentions by Shi Chaoyan's words.

Lan Rujue said again: "Xiaoli, I will not marry Jiang Chen."

Tangli pursed her lips tightly, waiting for Lan Rujue's next words.

The eyes of Lan Rujue are full of expectation and longing. They are filled with bright light, which belongs to love, not friendship. She said: "I like..."

But what she wanted to say was covered by Tang Li's hands. Tang Li's eyes were too calm. She stopped her, shook her head and said: "Lan Rujue, I admit that I knew about Jiang Chen a long time ago. I went behind your back to contact Shi Chaoyan, and I also knew that she was your biological sister. Everything Shi Chaoyan told you was just her side of the story. She was only wrong about one thing, that is, she and I are the same."

Tangli bent down and moved closer to Lan Rujue, watching helplessly as tears fell from the corners of her eyes. Tangli's throat seemed to have a blockage. It was very painful to continue speaking, but she still spoke stubbornly: "She and I are the same, and we both have the same jealousy towards you. So everything I did came from evil, not what Shi Chaoyan said."

[Tangtang! What are you doing? You can continue to hide Lan Rujue's secrets. Anyway, what Shi Chaoyan said is not harmful to you. You might as well just make the mistake and fool the heroine around. When the time comes, you will attack her again and harm her. She will definitely be shocked. Oh my god, this is a vicious female supporting role. ]

001 was still panicking at first, fearing that Lan Rujue would expose Tangli's true identity, but Shi Chaoyan misunderstood Tangli's intentions and led Lan Rujue astray. 001 experienced what it means to be anxious in a short period of time. Fortunately, Tangli was still able to hold her nerve and let go of her worries.

But 001 did not wait for Tangli to stabilize the situation, but instead waited for Tangli to break the jar!

[Tangtang, you shouldn't say these words at all now, you should hide it from the heroine! ]

Tang Li turned a deaf ear to the collapse of 001. The only thing that could affect her mind was the tearful woman in front of her.

Of course Tangli knew that she could make the kind of choice 001 said, but she didn't want to do it because she had a guilty conscience and because she couldn't keep her face straight when she saw Lan Rujue crying. She tried to deceive her with all her heart, but she couldn't do it without being moved at all.

Tangli felt that she was really contradictory and strange. She was the one who took the initiative to deceive her, and she was the one who took the initiative to give up the deception. Could it be that when she met Lan Rujue, she would become another person?

No matter what mixed feelings Tangli had in her heart, when she saw Lan Rujue's heartbroken eyes, Tangli had only one thought, that she was a sinner.

Tangli moved her eyebrows helplessly and used her fingers wiping Lan Rujue's tears with the gentlest force, the woman's tears really couldn't be wiped away, but the more she wiped them away the more they fell.

"When I first made those moves, I never imagined that I would... be tempted by you. Maybe saying this now will make you angrier, but I still want to make it clear to you."

"You can scold me if you want, stop crying, okay?"

Tangli held her face in her hands and saw that her eyes were red and the tip of her nose was also red. A kind of emotion called love was dominating Tangli.

Her silent crying only made Tangli feel more guilty.

Tangli sighed, held her face and kissed her gently on the lips, then hugged her, leaned on her shoulders, and said: "Sister Rujue, are you willing to forgive me? I know my request is too much. If someone lied to me like this, I would have scolded him. But Sister Rujue is different, you are the best to me."

She hugged Lan Rujue tightly and said, "Please."

Her tears woke Tangli up, like a hammer that broke open the body that wrapped Tangli, making Tangli truly realize what her heart was.

Tangli could not forget Lan Rujue's joyful eyes before, which were shining, but she still had her usual calmness. Tangli wanted to pretend to be happy and continue acting with Lan Rujue, but she found that she couldn't smile because Lan Rujue's joy was like a heavy boulder to Tangli, weighing her down almost to death.

Tangli can pretend to be stupid and doesn't have to tell Lan Rujue the whole truth.

But Tangli can no longer act.

The reason comes from her heart.

Tangli could only try her best to make amends. If she made a mistake, it was a mistake. The person who made the mistake should admit that she was too mean to Lan Rujue and didn't want to still have false feelings for her after realizing her feelings, so Tangli knew what would happen if she told the truth, but she still spoke without hesitation.

Only by facing up to the mistakes and lies of the past can this matter be resolved.

Otherwise, mistakes will turn into poison and gradually erode the two of them.

Maybe it was risky, but Tangli still chose to tell her.

Tangli stroked Lan Rujue's back, one after another, giving her all the tenderness, just to make Lan Rujue not resist her so much at this moment.

It's really a turn of events.

Tangli touched Lan Rujue with her cheek, looking a little uneasy, and said, "Sister Rujue, I covered your mouth before because I thought this sentence would be more appropriate for me to say."

"I like you."

"Maybe you won't accept my love at all, but I have to say it."

"Sister Rujue, please pay attention to me. At least it will make me less panicked."

Lan Rujue didn't react at all to Tangli's kiss or what she said.

She pushed Tang Li's arms away, stood up and sat beside Tang Li, holding her hands by her side, still remaining silent without speaking.

Tangli was at a loss and looked at her timidly.

[Tangtang! Please pay attention to me. ]

"We will discuss our matters later."

[Hmph, you have changed your mind, and you are more partial to Lan Rujue! ]

"Please take pity on me first, otherwise if I don't coax Lan Rujue back by then, It will become a crematorium for chasing my wife."

001 snorted arrogantly and went offline. It was obedient and did not continue to distract Tangli.

Tangli couldn't sit still for a while, imitating Lan Rujue's behavior just now, half-crouching and looking up at her.

Tangli lay on her lap and said softly: "Sister Rujue, I already know that I was wrong. In fact, what Shi Chaoyan told you is not a big problem. After all, I did have evil intentions towards you. But I don't want to deceive. If I do something wrong, I have to bear the responsibility. If I don't say it now, it will be too late later."

"Sister Rujue, please pay attention to me. I have already apologized to you."

While she was talking, she noticed Lan Rujue's eyes staring at her lips. Tangli took the initiative, blinked her eyes, and kissed Lan Rujue again.

Lan Rujue was no longer silent and passive this time. She pulled Tangli over, held her hair with her palms and kissed Tangli forcefully.

Her kiss was different from Tang Li's two shallow kisses just now. She no longer sat back and waited for death, but kissed Tang Li forcefully and brutally.

Perhaps it was Tangli's squatting that affected her performance, but Lan Rujue was dissatisfied with this shallow taste. She held Tangli's waist and let Tangli sit firmly on her lap.

The distance between the two suddenly became closer, as if their breathing was a little lingering.

Lan Rujue stared deeply at Tangli, pulled her lips and said, "Little liar."

"I'm not. I've admitted my mistakes, so I'm not a little liar."

Lan Rujue's fingertips rubbed Tangli's lips, and as she opened and closed her lips to talk, Lan Rujue saw the tip of her tongue hidden inside, her eyes followed the red color, and she said: "Do you still remember? What do I hate most?"

Tang Li was thoughtful and said hesitantly: "What you hate most is that others lie to you and betray you."

She coveted the sweetness in Tangli's lips, but she still had something to say, so she could only hold back her inner urges, restrained herself, and said: "Good girl, you remember it very accurately, so you still remember what I said about offending me and having no good outcome?"

Tangli pulled her body back, swallowed her sliva, and said flatteringly: "Sister Rujue, you...what else do you want to do to me?"

This heroine, who doesn't have many cruel words, must not be planning to beat her up.

Lan Rujue saw Tangli's fear, and said softly, "Other people have no easy end, but... Xiaoli can easily get my forgiveness. Don't you know this very well? You can control me to death."

Lan Rujue hugged her and asked Tangli to press closer to her. Her tone was dangerous, and her eyes were filled with desire for Tangli. She smiled, as beautiful as an immortal, but the next second, Lan Rujue's face was filled with a bit of sinisterness, as if they were covered with ice, which made people feel intimidated, so the next move was ferocious and brutal.

She kissed Tangli again, and her hands holding Tangli wanted to melt Tangli into her body.

No one would doubt the truth of what Lan Rujue said. She just couldn't be cruel to Tangli. With Tangli, Lan Rujue had always been helpless.

And didn't she also call Tangli a little liar from the beginning?

Having known her bad nature for a long time, Lan Rujue was filled with joy when she heard Shi Chaoyan's words, but she did not forget Tangli's initial concealment.

Little liar, little liar, what you said is really right.

Lan Rujue rarely cried. She thought she had a strong personality, but she didn't know that she just didn't meet her nemesis, and Tangli completely restrained her as her nemesis, making it impossible for Lan Rujue to climb over the five-finger mountain and escape her.

Tears are her true feelings.

It was also Lan Rujue's deliberate move.

She saw Tang Li's heartache and pity, so she continued to cry harder.

How could someone who can show these emotions to her have no feelings for her?

Lan Rujue didn't believe in this evil. Even if she lost in this love, she would have to take Tangli to lose with her. There was no reason to let her win alone.

So Tangli's panic was part of her plan, and so was her apology.

Lan Rujue misjudged Tang Li's courage, or in other words, underestimated her weight in Tang Li's heart.

Tang Li actually kissed her. How could Lan Rujue hold back her tears?

First, she heard Tangli's confession. Although she was prepared, she still couldn't bear the pain in her heart. Just when Lan Rujue was heartbroken, Tangli took the initiative to show weakness. I am afraid that only Lan Rujue herself understood best how she felt at that time. What a joy, but the surprise was far more than that, Lan Rujue also got a kiss from Tangli.

This kiss is gentle and soft, like the spring breeze, awakening the withered vegetation and ushering in new life.

Lan Rujue couldn't help it anymore, she wanted to deepen the kiss.

Finally, her wish came true at this moment.

Not to be outdone, Tangli kissed her back and put her arms around her neck, making Qiu feng feel shy.

"Little liar."

"What."

"You look so cute when you blush."

Tangli gouged her out angrily and said, "You're not angry anymore?"

Lan Rujue smiled and shook her head and said, "Not angry anymore. Anyway, you have been bullying me since I was a child."

The "bitterness" of the first half of life is exchanged for the sweetness of the second half of life.

Actually, it's not bad. She is very satisfied.
