Yuqiongyin

Chapter 9 Promise

Downstairs, Auntie Wu and Butler Gu were waiting quietly in the restaurant. They were a married couple and had been working in the Xi family villa for twenty or thirty years. They watched Xi Chenning and Rong Yunqiu grow up, so they were naturally happy to see them coming down from their upstairs room together.

Aunt Wu gently nudged Butler Gu beside her and whispered, "Am I lying? Look, aren't the young lady and the gentleman coming down together?"

Butler Gu went out to do some work last night and was not in the villa. He did not believe what Auntie Wu said today.

It's not that he doesn't believe in the charm of his young lady, but they have been married for three years and he has never seen them go in and out together, let alone eat together at the table.

"Miss, this is the soup and lean meat porridge I specially prepared today. Come and eat some to replenish your body."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Aunt Wu."

Rong Yunluo naturally pulled out a chair for her. Xi Chenning glanced at him and sat down calmly. Rong Yunluo sat next to her.

Xi Chenning had been in poor health since childhood and suffered from asthma, so both her parents and the servants at home loved her very much and paid special attention to her diet and meals.

The table was filled with fresh food, four dishes and one soup, all low in salt and fat, avoiding the intake of high-calorie foods. After all, being overweight will aggravate asthma symptoms.

So the soup seemed a bit out of place, but fortunately, it was not a rich bone and meat soup, but a light winter melon, barley and crucian carp soup, which was nutritious, could increase her resistance to asthma, and had anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects.

"Miss, how does it taste?"

Wu Ma was about to help serve a bowl, but Rong Yunqiu got there first. He curled his lips and smiled, "Let me do it. Wu Ma, you guys go and do your work first."

"Yes, sir, then take good care of the young lady." Auntie Wu understood what he meant. Didn't he just want some time alone? She quickly pulled Butler Gu downstairs.

Xi Chenning was no longer surprised by what Rong Yunluo did. He was still the same person, so why did he speak and act as if he was trying to please her?

"I said I wanted a divorce, but it's still the same as before. You continue to be the CEO of Xi's company, and you don't have to try to please me."

Rong Yunqiu did not respond, but silently placed the bowl of fish soup in front of her.

Xi Chenning said to himself, "I know you only see me as a sister, and I have always seen you as a brother. What happened last night was an accident, so you don't have to take it to heart. The three-year period is almost up, and you can explain it to your parents. In fact, it's okay not to get married three years ago. Why tie us down? Isn't it better to continue as before?"

When she said this, she felt a prick of pain in her heart and couldn't help but frown. The death of her parents has always been a pain for her. She still remembers that day. The hands they held together were locked by them, which restrained Xi Chenning and Rong Yunqi for three years.

Three months after their parents passed away, they went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate, but they didn't hold a wedding. She didn't know why Rong Yunling told her about getting the marriage certificate, maybe he wanted to take care of her more conveniently?

After they got their marriage certificate that day, they went to the cemetery together to visit Xi's father and mother, which could be said to have fulfilled their wish.

After saying that, Xi Chenning took the bowl of fish soup and drank it slowly. Her heart was calm the whole time. This was what she had always wanted to say. Now that she finally said it, she felt relaxed.

"I said I would not get a divorce."

"Why not..."

Xi Chenning turned to look at him, but saw that Rong Yunlu's eyes were red, and she stopped talking.

Rong Yunluo's usually cold and moon-like face showed a bit of helplessness, and his eyes were filled with a bright light. Xi Chenning felt that he saw emotions surging like waves in them.

She couldn't help but be stunned, and raised her hand to stroke the red corners of his eyes. She could gradually feel the strange emotions slowly brewing in the restaurant.

There was a voice in my head saying that maybe I should give him a little more time, he just... had been through too much pain.

But if the two of them continue like this, nothing will work out. She knows they can't go on like this, and separation might be the best option.

Xi Chenning took back his hand and asked, "You don't agree to divorce, give me a reason?"

Rong Yunqi straightened up, his pupils were stained with mottled light and shadows. He turned his head to prevent Xi Chenning from seeing the emotions surging in his eyes.

"I...I won't, and I don't want to leave you alone again..."

Xi Chenning frowned and stood up to leave. She had no chance of reaching an agreement with this man. "Is this your reason? I don't accept it and I don't understand it."

Rong Yunqiu took a deep breath and stood up, grabbed Xi Chenning's hanging hand, lowered his head and remained silent.

"What on earth are you..."

Before she could finish her words, Rong Yunqi turned her around. She felt dizzy and then he held her tightly in his arms with great strength.

He lowered his head, his breath fanning over her neck.

As the two got closer, Xi Chenning felt as if he was carrying some unspeakable emotions, sweeping over him like an overwhelming force.

Then she heard Rong Yunqiu, who had buried his head in her neck and shoulders, begging in a trembling voice: "I won't leave, you can't...you can't leave me again."

Xi Chenning only felt his body temperature was scalding, and she struggled slightly, but Rong Yunluo's control became tighter and tighter. She sighed weakly and raised her hand to pat his back.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Seeing Xi Chenning surrender, Rong Yunqi rubbed her neck affectionately, his soft hair rubbing against Xi Chenning's cheek, and then he leaned lightly on her shoulder, his movements full of dependence.

After waiting for a long time, Rong Yunqiu didn't say anything, and Xi Chenning's anxious heart gradually calmed down.

The restaurant was very quiet, so quiet that she could only hear Rong Yunqi's breathing beside her ears, which was a little hot and a little urgent.

"Give me a chance, let's try it, Zhizhi."

Rong Yunqiu tightened his arms around her waist. He struggled to speak, his words full of pleading.

Xi Chenning tightened her hands at her side, lowered her eyes, chuckled, and asked, "Rong Yunlu, do you know what you are saying? You are really nothing like yourself now."

"Just...just think that I was woken up by someone hitting me last night..."

Xi Chenning gently pushed away Rong Yunluo who was still acting like a spoiled child, "Get up and look at me, do you really want to try it with me?" This person is three or four years older than her, how could she be so childish that she would actually agree to such a strange request.

"Did you agree?"

Rong Yunqiu stood up straight, and their eyes met. His eyes were as bright as a galaxy, brilliant and brilliant.

"Just give me a chance. If I don't perform well, I'll just..."

"No, I'm confident that you will like me."

Rong Yunqi held her in his arms again without saying anything.

Because of her physical condition, she always felt that she was a burden. Although people around her habitually took care of her, she knew that no one would always be with her. Even Rong Yunjue, from childhood to now, Xi Chenning felt that it was a lock put on him by his parents, and he had to be responsible for himself.

Feeling Rong Yunlu's honesty, Xi Chenning felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, but he still raised his hand and patted him on the back.

"I am very happy."

"Ok, I know."

He confirmed it with Xi Chenning again and again, and Xi Chenning responded to every word.
