From yesterday until now, she had been through far too much.
Rong Yanqiao wanted to escape all these messy affairs, but there was no way out; she didn’t have the means to run away.
She was also pregnant, there was a child inside her.
If it were before, Rong Yanqiao would have left here immediately, but now...
Rong Yanqiao pondered over why Rong Qingze went to find Wenming.
Could it be that Rong Qingze had always liked Wenming?
This answer was something she never believed in the past, but the current situation forced her to consider the possibility.
She had acted in many plays and was somewhat familiar with such melodramatic plots in books.
Could it be that all the sweetness between her and Rong Qingze was just for Wenming to see?
Did Rong Qingze say he liked her just to make Wenming jealous?
Now, Wenming regretted it and wanted to return to Rong Qingze’s side. So, was she, the stand-in, truly about to exit the stage?
She had imagined countless times how she would leave when Wenming woke up.
But when the day truly arrived, she found herself reluctant to let go.
The child was the bond connecting her and Rong Qingze.
Thinking about this, Rong Yanqiao couldn’t help but resent Rong Qingze a bit.
In truth, if he really was tired of her, he could have just said so; she would have left on her own.
Rong Yanqiao was never the clingy type, let alone she had wanted to leave the Rong family from the start. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novęlfire.net
She wanted freedom, to see the outside world, to see the sights she had never seen before.
Rong Yanqiao had run away countless times, and Rong Qingze had chased her just as many times.
This made it hard for her to doubt that Rong Qingze loved her.
But now, the facts proved that Rong Qingze might truly not love her.
If their relationship were to be written as a book, she would definitely be the malicious second female lead who usurps a place that isn’t hers.
Rong Yanqiao couldn’t understand what all their previous vows, their promises of eternal love, meant now.
However, Rong Qingze hadn’t spoken to her nor given her any explanation.
Jiang Yun said, "I’ll explain in the car, but you should leave here quickly now."
He grabbed Rong Yanqiao’s hand and led her outside.
At that moment, Rong Yanqiao was in a daze, just letting Jiang Yun guide her.
To Rong Yanqiao’s surprise, outside was indeed just as Jiang Yun had said, empty.
She was about to ask what had happened when she saw the urgency in Jiang Yun’s expression and the care in his steps.
So she swallowed back her questions.
Rong Yanqiao knew well the order of importance; seeing Jiang Yun’s demeanor now, she realized it was not an appropriate time for questions.
Only when they were in the car did Jiang Yun release a heavy breath.
It was then that Rong Yanqiao voiced her confusion, "What exactly happened? What do you mean by what you said?"
Jiang Yun pondered for a moment, seemingly unsure of how to begin.
"I don’t know either, I just heard from a friend that someone needed to be dealt with."
He looked at Rong Yanqiao, his eyes sincere, without any other emotion, "I thought of you, remembering the odd behavior of Rong Er yesterday, and got worried."
"Besides, my friend mentioned that Rong Er had a new flame, so I was genuinely concerned and wanted to check on you."
As he spoke, Rong Yanqiao’s face grew paler with each word.
If things were indeed as described, then everything seemed to make sense.
Rong Qingze truly loved Wenming.
And Wenming so detested her.
Now, with Wenming back, it seemed she truly needed to disappear.
Yet she was still unwilling to believe it.
How did things suddenly turn out this way?
The affection in Rong Qingze’s eyes when he looked at her couldn’t possibly be feigned; she was an actor and knew best what was acting and what was genuine.
Rong Qingze loved her, that she was sure of.
Jiang Yun’s words, though closely stitched together, still had loopholes.
For example, the claim that Rong Qingze loved Wenming.
Rong Yanqiao had personally witnessed Wenming calling Rong Qingze.
