I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot Chapter 233 The Purest Love in Existence

233 The Purest Love in Existence

She was lonely most of the time, and she didn’t have many friends she could confide in. Moreover, the Ruan family’s decline made her recognize many sly people who she thought were her friends.

That was why even after the Ruan family returned to its former glory, she was never willing to open her heart easily.

There were many people who approached her and carefully expressed their goodwill to her. However, she knew that they only cared about her t.i.tle as the Second Miss of the Ruan family.

If only her last name wasn’t Ruan, if only she wasn’t Ruan Cheng’s sister.

There were also a few people who were willing to lower their stance and treat her well.

Since she was young, Ruan Xiaoshuang had rarely been truly happy.

Of course, that was other than the two years she had been in love with Sang Minglang. On the day she met Sang Minglang, she was on the rainy streets, walking alone for a long time.

When she returned to school, it was raining heavily. She hid by the noticeboard to avoid the rain.

Her entire body was drenched, but she was still calm and indifferent.

At that time, Sang Minglang came over and held an umbrella for her, shielding her from the pouring rain.

At that time, Sang Minglang was still very young and had a bit of shyness, but the words he said were warm, “Where are you going? I’ll give you a ride.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang’s first reaction was to refuse, but in the rain and fog, his eyes were filled with concern, sincerity, and gentleness.

In the end, she still told him where she was going and walked under his umbrella.

He wasn’t like those people who tried to hit on her, finding all sorts of excuses to get close to her and asking for her contact information.

When he said that he would give her a ride, he really meant it. Upon arrival, he waved his hand and left without looking back.

Not long after, she met him again in a coffee shop. He was mixing a cup of coffee with his head lowered, focused and patient.

Ruan Xiaoshuang quietly looked at him for a long time. Later on, whenever she was free, she would always go to shop.

She would often secretly watch him mix coffee from afar, as if she was looking at the clouds in the sky and the birds flying by.

She only felt happy, but she never thought about what she wanted to do with him.

She had thought that this was just a small happiness for her.

However, one day, Sang Minglang had looked up inadvertently. She couldn’t look away in time and her eyes met his in a panic. He smiled at her, and her face turned red in panic.

She got up in a hurry to leave, but because she was rushing, she b.u.mped into another customer and fell to the ground.

Sang Minglang strode over to help her up and brought her to the table to sit down.

When he looked up at her, his eyebrows and eyes were full of unruly smiles. “Am I that scary? You’ve looked at me so many times and I’ve been fine with it, but I only looked at you once and you’re already running?”

That was the beginning of their relationship. It was a rare bliss in Ruan Xiaoshuang’s life that she could never relive.

Sang Minglang had never asked about her family, and she had never asked about his. They loved each other, regardless of status or position.

They simply loved each other and wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. The both of them held the purest love in existence for each other.

Ruan Xiaoshuang had never regretted knowing Sang Minglang. If she did not have those two years of love with Sang Minglang, who knew how boring her life would be.

She would also never know how sweet and warm it was to be loved and protected by someone without reservation.

The first ray of sunlight pierced through the morning. The magnificent clouds covered the sky, illuminating the vast world.

Ruan Xiaoshuang stared at the sunrise for the last time, but her heart was unprecedentedly calm. When she was with Sang Minglang, she had never thought that things would turn out this way.

The Ruan family indeed owed the Sang family too much.

Alas, she still couldn’t pay it off. Even if she were to compensate him with her life, it would not help.

If she could, she really wanted to stay by Sang Minglang’s side forever. However, this was destined to only be wishful thinking.

However, she could still do something for him.

In another way, she could still accompany him in watching the sunrise and sunset, as well as the world’s prosperity for the rest of his life.

In the hospital, Ruan Cheng, who had been unconscious for many days, finally woke up.

However, as soon as he woke up, he found that his hands were handcuffed to the bed.

Xie Shi’an and Shao Jin were not in the room. Instead, there were only stern-looking police officers in their uniforms.

The other party looked at him and informed him in a procedural tone that the police had received new evidence and suspected that he was related to several previous murders, including the explosion that happened when Shen Hanyu was involved. “We have sufficient reason to suspect that you were involved in all of this.”

Ruan Cheng coughed and told the police officer that he wanted to see Shao Jin. A moment after the police officer left, the door was pushed open.

The person who entered was not Shao Jin, but Guo Dingsong.

Ruan Cheng suddenly understood something. He asked calmly, “The evidence that the police received was submitted by Uncle Guo?”

Back then, when he was planning those things, he had sought Guo Dingsong’s help.

Although Guo Dingsong was not willing to help him kill, he had given him a way to avoid trouble. He was well aware of what Ruan Cheng had done in the past.

“I really didn’t want to see the Ruan family get to where they are today.”

Guo Dingsong looked at him with an indescribable look in his eyes. He was heartbroken. In his heart, there was an unbearable sorrow that felt like he had expected better from Ruan Cheng.

“Maybe I was wrong in the first place. I wanted to help you and the Ruan family, but I shouldn’t have allowed you to do things outside of the law. That’s why you became more and more lawless and tried to kill Hanyu time and time again. Ruan Cheng, you’ve really gone too far in some matters.”

Even he, an old subordinate of the Ruan family and a person who was loyal to the Ruan family, could not tolerate it.

Ruan Cheng’s eyes were cold. “Since Uncle Guo is already on Shen Hanyu’s side, what else can you say?”

“Ruan Cheng, do you still not understand? I’m not standing on Hanyu’s side, I’m standing on the side of my conscience.”

Guo Dingsong’s tone was pained and his emotions were complicated. “When I left the capital that year, I told you that you must be upright and walk the right path. Don’t always think about taking shortcuts. If you had listened to me, would things have turned out like this? Back then, if you had not been so overbearing and forced people into desperate situations, perhaps Xie Qiuling would not have died, and your body would not have been destroyed. Perhaps all the tragedies could have been avoided!”

Ruan Cheng slowly closed his eyes. “What’s the point of bringing up the past now that things have come to this? Uncle Guo, you should leave.”

Guo Dingsong let out a long sigh. “Cheng, Uncle Guo has let the Ruan family down, but Uncle Guo has a clear conscience. In the future, I will personally go to your father’s grave to ask for forgiveness. You, rest well.”

The door was closed, and the room was silent.

Ruan Cheng didn’t open his eyes for a long time, but he suddenly thought of all the times he had spent with Xie Qiuling.

It was not as if he had no regrets over the years. Unfortunately, the mistake had already been made, and it was too late to turn back.

If he could do it all over again, perhaps, he would rather the Ruan family never return to its peak, and stay with Xie Qiuling forever.

Unfortunately, it was impossible for him to have even the simplest happiness now.

Seven days and seven nights, a long wait.

It was as if he was humbly begging for that little bit of light on a dark night with no end.

In the end, it only gave him numbness and despair.

Shen Hanyu sat in front of the bed, holding Sang Qianqian’s hand tightly. His eyes, which had not been closed for seven days and seven nights, were bloodshot.

However, he refused to let go and stubbornly waited for Sang Qianqian to wake up.
