Ruan Yang was almost pushed to the ground by him. She steadied herself and saw him sitting in the backseat, his neck red with anger. He was so drunk that he could no longer recognize anyone.
“I’m not Yan Molun. Take a clear look at who I am.” Ruan Yang didn’t dare to touch him this time. She merely bent over in front of him.
Li Shaobin moved closer and squinted. After looking for a while, he suddenly gave her a slap. “You’re so ugly. Who else would you be if you’re not Yan Molun?”
Ruan Yang’s face almost felt numb from the pain because of that slap. This fellow really used a lot of strength. Even while filming, she had never been hit so hard before. She massaged her face and wanted to throw a tantrum, but what was the point of getting angry at a drunkard? “You’re really very drunk. Sit in the back properly. Don’t move around.”
She closed the door and drove the car back to the villa. She couldn’t bring him back to the Li Household with him like this. As she drove, she called He Mingshan and said she would be back late so she wouldn’t be sleeping over.
After she put her phone down, she realized Li Shaobin was mumbling in the back. “Old Yan, stop by the side of the road and get me a pack of cigarettes. I’m out of cigarettes.”
“I’m not Old Yan,” Ruan Yang sighed as she repeated herself. “Don’t smoke at night. Smoking is bad for your body.”
“Then get me a bottle of alcohol. I want a Macallan. They don’t taste bad,” Li Shaobin said after a burp.
Ruan Yang shook her head and ignored him.
Li Shaobin was unhappy. “Old Yan, what’s the meaning of this? You’re ignoring me. Don’t act so cocky in front of me just because your woman didn’t call another man’s name in bed before.”
When she heard that, Ruan Yang looked at him through the rearview mirror. He was leaning on the leather seats with his head tilted. His dark pupils didn’t have much luster in them.
She felt choked up inside and said gently, “Don’t let your thoughts run wild.”
“How could I not let my thoughts run wild? If it were you, would you let your thoughts run wild?” For once, Li Shaobin heard her words clearly but still thought she was Yan Molun. “Old Yan, I know you have a smooth relationship. Tell me—how can I be undefeatable in love? I also want to look for other women. I don’t want to waste my life on her alone.”
Ruan Yang raised her brow and let out an angry laugh. “You want to look for other women?”
“Yeah,” Li Shaobin said while pointing his finger. “I have to let Ruan Yang know that she’s not the only woman in the world. Don’t think that… burp… don’t think that just because I like her, she can keep bullying me. When I get mad, I can find other women on the outside anytime too. It doesn’t have to be her.”
“Really?” Ruan Yang tapped on the steering wheel with a finger. She smiled slightly. “Then what kind of woman do you plan to look for?”
“I don’t know, I haven’t decided.” Li Shaobin’s head continued to drop sideways. “But the chick today wasn’t bad.”
“Which chick?” Ruan Yang asked.
“The one who served us food. Her skin was fair and soft. Big boobs, perky butt. Good. Good.” Li Shaobin gave a thumbs up.
Ruan Yang’s smile became colder. “Sure. Do you want me to introduce you to her?”
“Mm, that’s fine too. Help me get her number,” Li Shaobin said with a grin.
Ruan Yang’s grip on the steering wheel tightened. “Then what would happen to Ruan Yang?”
“I don’t want her anymore.” Li Shaobin waved his hand. “I don’t care about her anymore.”
Ruan Yang scoffed and didn’t say anything else.
…
Half an hour later, the car drove into the villa. Li Shaobin was sound asleep in the back. When Ruan Yang got out of the car, she closed the door and walked straight into the villa.
She entered the house and changed her shoes. She sat on the couch for a while before getting up and going out again to open the car door. She woke up Li Shaobin, who was sound asleep. “Wake up, we’re home.”
“Mm… Ruan Yang, how come it’s you?” Li Shaobin blinked drunkenly. “Am I dreaming? Why didn’t you look for that idiot?”
“You’re the idiot.” Ruan Yang clenched her teeth. “Get up quickly. You’re so heavy; I can’t get you up.”
“You called me an idiot. I’m not an idiot. Xin Ziao is the retarded one.” Li Shaobin scoffed and was helped up by her but he was still going on and on. “Even if you seek him out, he probably won’t recognize you for the rest of his life. You want to be with him? Haha, you’ll have to help him wipe his butt for your entire life.”
“Li Shaobin, that’s enough. I’m your wife. Why would I have to see him?” Ruan Yang said angrily.
“Aren’t you still thinking about him?” Li Shaobin chuckled. “You think I don’t know. You only married me because I pestered you. But I didn’t force you to marry me. If you’re still thinking about him, why did you marry me?”
“You’re drunk. I don’t want to talk to you right now.” Ruan Yang’s head hurt.
“You don’t want to talk to me because you don’t like me, right? You want to go back to Xin Ziao’s side,” Li Shaobin continued mumbling.
Ruan Yang helped him upstairs and listened to him go on and on all the way. She really felt like sewing his mouth up.
She put him on the bed and took off his shoes. He was lying in bed as he continued to say with his eyes closed: “Go see Xin Ziao. I don’t want you anymore. I don’t care about you anymore.”
Ruan Yang turned back to look at him. Half of his face was buried under the covers. His eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes and there seemed to be a glistening glimmer at the corner of his eyes.
Suddenly, it felt as though a hand was squeezing her heart tightly.
She wet a towel and came back to help him wipe his hands and face. After that, her phone rang. It was a call from Jiang Duoyao in the middle of the night.
She picked up the call. “Not busy?”
“Mm. I just got back to the hotel after filming.” Jiang Duoyao sounded tired. “Molun gave me a call just now. What’s going on between you and Li Shaobin? You called out Xin Ziao’s name in your dream? Don’t tell me you haven’t forgotten about him.”
Ruan Yang didn’t think that a mere dream could even spread to Jiang Duoyao. She went downstairs and told Jiang Duoyao about the dream. “I didn’t know why I had that dream either. I’ve rarely dreamed of him ever since I returned. I woke up from the dream in shock and I was covered in a cold sweat, as though I’d just seen a ghost. Just thinking about it now gives me the shivers.”
“You really aren’t still thinking about him?” Jiang Duoyao felt the shivers too just by hearing her story.
“Of course not,” Ruan Yang said with a sigh. “However, I didn’t feel nothing when I heard he’s become a retard. I do feel a little complicated. I didn’t think he would end up in this state.”
“I guess that’s retribution.” Jiang Duoyao fell silent for a while before saying, “If he had gotten along with Zhao Zhu after getting married and didn’t provoke you, he wouldn’t have ended up in this state because of Zhao Zhu’s hatred. Otherwise, he should’ve said no to marrying Zhao Zhu resolutely. In any case, this is none of your business. It’s their karma.”
“I was confused. Why would she suddenly poison Xin Ziao? No matter what, he’s still her husband. There’s no reason for her to suddenly be like this.” Ruan Yang frowned. “Is there something wrong with this Zhao Zhu mentally?”
“I think so too. When she kept making trouble with Changqing in Shanghai before, I felt like she was a lunatic,” Jiang Duoyao said. “Besides, didn’t she knock into you and Xin Ziao with a car previously? She might’ve already had intentions of killing him then.”
“Maybe.” Ruan Yang did wonder if Li Shaobin was behind it at first. After all, he didn’t look like someone who would just let the matter rest. However, thinking back on how Zhao Zhu behaved that day, she didn’t seem to care about Xin Ziao’s life and death at all. “Do you believe in ghosts? I keep feeling that it was Xin Ziao’s spirit who gave me last night’s dream.”
“Cut it out. That’s quite scary.” Jiang Duoyao shuddered. “Isn’t he still alive?”
“It might’ve been when he was on the brink of death,” Ruan Yang said. “Otherwise, how could it have been so coincidental? Also, those things that he said…”
“Mm, I don’t know. There are so many things in this world that can’t be explained. Maybe it’s because the two of you were together for a very long time so you were able to sense something when it happened to him,” Jiang Duoyao said. “But if you were to explain this to Li Shaobin, he probably wouldn’t believe you. He might even think there’s some telepathy between the two of you. Really, if you had a dream, why did you have to shout out his name? Look at me—I often dream of various handsome guys but I never call out their names. Someone like me is really good at controlling myself.”
The corners of Ruan Yang’s lips twitched. “I’ve never been as good at self-control compared to you.”
“You should just stop thinking about that Xin Ziao. Whether he’s dead or alive has nothing to do with you anymore.” Jiang Duoyao rarely spoke with such heartfelt sincerity. “Cherish the person by your side. Don’t let such misunderstandings happen again. To be honest, if Yan Molun was the one calling out other women’s names at night, I would definitely castrate him that very night.”
“Are you sure you can castrate him?” Ruan Yang smiled.
“If I couldn’t then I’d break up with him,” Jiang Duoyao said. “I believe you’re not so foolish to still have feelings for Xin Ziao too but you should still be more careful in the future. Molun said that Li Shaobin was down the entire day. He’s always been so happy-go-lucky and is rarely like this. Be nicer to him and don’t always hurt him. You’re so terrible.”
“I get it.” Ruan Yang laughed softly. “I didn’t think that Yan Molun would be cold on the outside but warm on the inside.”
“What? He’s just warm on the outside and burning hot on the inside.” Duoyao couldn’t understand why she said that.
“Yeah. He’s like that to you but not necessarily to others. In any case, thanks for your concern. You should rest early,” Ruan Yang said.
“Sure, let’s find a chance to meet up again.”
