Chapter 830: Chapter 829: The Terrifying Person
Her body nestled in his broad, warm embrace, but her heart felt terrifyingly empty, as if missing a piece.
"I love you, Ruoxuan, do you believe me? I truly love you, I really won’t abandon you, we can live well together, I will definitely treat you well, I promise..." Liu Zheng said excitedly, repeatedly professing his love for her.
Lin Ruoxuan snorted coldly, "Love is never valuable, and I will never believe you again."
Liu Zheng paused, "What... did you say? How is love not valuable?"
Lin Ruoxuan turned her head away, not wanting to look at him, "Let me go."
Liu Zheng released her, and Lin Ruoxuan immediately took two steps back, maintaining a distance, "We’re not suitable, let’s break up."
"No..." Liu Zheng quickly chased after her, "No, you can’t leave, I won’t allow it, we can’t break up."
"No, I want to break up, you’re already engaged, stop bothering me," Lin Ruoxuan said.
"It’s not that I want to bother you, it’s you who have always been bothering me," Liu Zheng said.
"I haven’t, it’s you who’s been bothering me, or else why would I have been kidnapped? You say you love me, but you’ve been indifferent, your network is so extensive, how can I fight you? If not for you, Chen Feilong wouldn’t have kidnapped me! Liu Zheng, you don’t love me, you only love yourself!" Lin Ruoxuan glared at him angrily.
"I love you as a person! And I have no reason to lie to you, you’re the most beautiful girl I’ve ever met, and I’m very interested in your body, it’s just that I didn’t expect you to be so conservative, even unwilling to be intimate, it’s such a disappointment..."
Lin Ruoxuan gritted her teeth and glared at him, knowing his words were lies, but she indeed wasn’t the kind of woman he described!
"I warn you, don’t come looking for me again, or else don’t blame me for turning my back on you."
Liu Zheng looked aggrieved as he faced Lin Ruoxuan, "Fine, you say not to find you, I won’t, but you need to promise me, after we get married, we’ll live together."
"I don’t want to, we’re just engaged, we’re not married, why should I listen to you?"
Lin Ruoxuan sneered.
"I don’t mind, after all, I’ve already promised Chen Feixiang, as long as we get married, I’ll marry you as my wife."
"You’re dreaming!"
"What did you say? We’ve been engaged so long, we’re already husband and wife, and you say I’m dreaming? Lin Ruoxuan, don’t bully me, you know my temper."
Lin Ruoxuan looked at him, but she wasn’t afraid of him at all.
"Yes, you not only have a bad character, but also a foul temper, I’m not interested in a man like you. Whether you admit it or not, I just don’t want to marry you, don’t come looking for me again, otherwise I’ll call the police."
Liu Zheng’s eyes narrowed, his fists creaking; it seemed like the next second, he might rush up and strangle Lin Ruoxuan.
Seeing this, Lin Ruoxuan quickly turned and ran.
"Lin Ruoxuan! Stop right there! If you dare to call the police, I’ll kill your parents," Liu Zheng threatened.
Lin Ruoxuan stopped, turned back, and glared at him, "You dare!"
"You’ll see if I dare."
"You... you bastard!"
"Now you know? You should have known earlier."
"Liu Zheng, if you really want revenge, just come at me, don’t hurt my parents, they’re old, they can’t take any shock," Lin Ruoxuan said.
Liu Zheng’s eyes flickered, "I was only trying to scare you."
Lin Ruoxuan sneered, knowing this man wouldn’t dare to hurt her; he just couldn’t accept that she had married him yet couldn’t be with him.
"Have you got anything else to say?"
"I love you."
Liu Zheng’s voice was very low, like a lover’s whisper, but Lin Ruoxuan felt disgusted.
"Get out, get out, get out of my doorstep," Lin Ruoxuan yelled at him, her eyes red, clearly having cried.
Seeing her tear-stained face, Liu Zheng’s heart softened.
He reached out his hand to caress Lin Ruoxuan’s cheek, but Lin Ruoxuan slapped his hand away, "Get out! Are you not leaving quickly?"
"Alright, I’m leaving," Liu Zheng sighed, repeatedly looking back as he left Lin Ruoxuan’s home.
No sooner had he stepped out than Lin Ruoxuan took out her phone and dialed a number.
From the other end of the phone, a man’s deep, rich voice answered, "Ruoxuan, what’s up?"
"Dad, it’s me."
"Ruoxuan, is that you? Where are you?" The voice of surprise came through the receiver into Lin Ruoxuan’s ear.
"Dad, I’m at Liu Zheng’s house. Liu Zheng tried to rape me, but luckily a friend saved me, but that person..." Lin Ruoxuan paused, not continuing.
"How is he? Ruoxuan, don’t be afraid, he’s alright," Lin Guohua comforted.
"Okay."
"Ruoxuan, don’t worry, I’ve already sent someone to handle the matter. You rest well, and I’ll contact you later."
"Okay, Dad, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Ruoxuan felt a bit relieved. She knew Liu Zheng had left, and she should go visit her father at the hospital now.
...
Lin Guohua hung up the phone, his face gloomy as he looked at the man in black in front of him, "Well, did you find out anything?"
The man in black shook his head, "Sorry, master, we haven’t figured out who did it."
"Waste! How do you handle things? Can’t even figure out who your enemy is, don’t you want to eat?"
"Master, I’m sorry, I will do my utmost to find the mastermind."
"What I need isn’t your utmost, it is that you must find them! Otherwise, you know the consequences," Lin Guohua said grimly.
The man in black quickly nodded.
Lin Guohua took a deep breath, "Then get to work and find out."
...
Lin Ruoxuan returned to the hospital; her parents were already awake.
"Ruoxuan, you’re back?" Liu Yufen exclaimed, relieved to see her daughter safe.
Lin Ruoxuan smiled, "Yes, Dad, I’m fine, don’t worry."
"That’s good, that’s good. By the way, Ruoxuan, how did things go with Liu Zheng?" Liu Yufen asked.
Lin Ruoxuan pursed her lips, uncertain of what to say.
Liu Zheng’s recent actions were absurd, and she couldn’t possibly accept his proposal. Her parents were her only family. She didn’t want them to be caught up in trouble because of her, so she decided to keep it hidden for now.
"Dad, it’s settled, he just proposed to me, and I refused."
"Refused? Did he say anything?"
"Nothing, but he said he wouldn’t let it go easily, I don’t know what to do."
"Silly child, what is there to worry about? He won’t harm you, I believe him."
"Right, he surely wouldn’t dare."
"You don’t need to mind him, he is your fiancé, just not officially yet. Just bear with it a few more days, and once you have broken off the engagement, we can introduce him to someone else," Liu Yufen advised.
"Dad, he doesn’t agree to break off the engagement," Lin Ruoxuan said helplessly.
Liu Yufen frowned, "Ruoxuan, I understand Liu Zheng. Although he appears to treat you well on the surface, he has a lot of bad intentions hidden inside. He definitely doesn’t truly love you, that’s why he’s reluctant to break the engagement. I think you shouldn’t be with him."
"But, if I don’t agree to his proposal, I’m afraid he might retaliate against you."
"He won’t dare," Liu Yufen said confidently.
Lin Ruoxuan’s mouth twisted bitterly. She didn’t know if this was her karma because she was the one who initially proposed breaking up.
However, she also felt relieved because now she and Liu Zheng had no connection anymore, and he no longer treated her like he used to, which made her feel much lighter.
...
"Ruoxuan, have you really broken up with Liu Zheng?" Lin Guohua asked.
"Yes, Dad, he’s become that way, I won’t be with him," Lin Ruoxuan said resolutely.
Lin Guohua sighed; he didn’t want his daughter to be mistreated, but he knew his daughter would never be with Liu Zheng.
He had watched Lin Ruoxuan grow up from a child and knew her personality well. Once she decided something, she wouldn’t change her mind, no matter how much he tried to persuade her.
All he hoped for now was that Lin Ruoxuan could soon forget Liu Zheng and find solace in the arms of another man.
