Chapter 82 - Checkmate

Translator: MiraiSaesang

n are strange creatures. Sotis they are impatient and in a rush and sotis they will not move even if they are beaten with an eight-bamboo-pole rod.

Take ng Gu for instance.

Earlier on, he had insisted their parents et up soonest possible to confirm their status. Now they had t and the two families had successfully sat down together for a eting. Although ng Father's expression was not very good and although Chen Mother still had her doubts about his family, but overall, the situation could be considered good as the two sides did not raise any objections. There was only so difference of opinion regarding the details and conditions of their marriage.

Normally, in such a case, according to the urgency level of ng Gu, he would diate and finalize the marriage plans.

However, suddenly he was not in a hurry.

He did not bring up the subject of their marriage with Chen Ruo Yu and neither did she want to put aside her pride to rush him. The two people were now living as a couple which was not much different from a normal husband and wife and he was slipping more and more into the state of a married man.

For example, in order to accompany Chen Ruo Yu, he seldom went out to socialize with his friends and if he has an appointnt, he would drag Chen Ruo Yu along. He also gave up his occasional smoking habit when in a bad mood and reached an agreent with her that if he were to smoke a cigarette, he would be punished with eating a piece of durian candy. To him, this thod was terrible and so he quit smoking successfully.

Another thing, his cooking skill did not improve except for frying steak. Every ti when he fried eggs, he would fail and talking about this, it sounded strange when cooking both involved the sa skill...... frying. It was either he had burnt the egg or he would break the egg and finally, the egg beca a scrambled egg. In short, Dr. ng's role in the kitchen was narrowed down to only washing dishes. After receiving criticisms several tis, he finally adapted to the way of washing dishes without using too much dishwashing liquid.

He no longer littered his clothes and would throw them into the clothes basket designated by her. He also gave up correcting Chen Ruo Yu's way of stacking clothes and followed her habitual way as a standard. He liked to throw away the things he felt were not needed so that the house would be clean and tidy. But she could not bear to part with them and felt that since they were still good, they should be kept away in case soday they could be of use. In the beginning, there were differences between both of them but in the end, ng Gu compromised. He put a big cupboard in the guest room so that Chen Ruo Yu could keep all the things that he wanted to throw away but she could not bear to part with.

In this way, what he does not see, he does not feel bothered and she gets to protect her property, so everyone feels happy.

In short, their lives were on the right track, smooth and harmonious, blissful and happy.

Chen Ruo Yu thought.....is it because that life is too stable and Mr. Tyrannosaurus feels that since she already belongs to him, that the marriage certificate is not important and he does not feel anxious?

The parents on both sides seed to have the sa thoughts as Chen Ruo Yu, in particular Chen Father and Chen Mother who was afraid her daughter was at the losing end. She often called Chen Ruo Yu to voice her concerns and asked about their marriage plans. What has ng Gu planned?

Well, this matter of marriage obviously concerns two people. Her parents actually asked what had ng Gu planned. This aside, ng Mother also ca to look for her and asked about this matter with concern. "What are ng Gu's thoughts on this matter? What are his plans?"Chen Ruo Yu's mind was a bit complicated. At ho, she was obviously the one who commands ng Gu to wash dishes, sweep the floor and wipe the table. Why is it that when they asked about this matter, everyone had to ask for ng Gu's opinion? Is her opinion irrelevant?

Well, she does not have any opinion. She will also abide by ng Gu's arrangent. In order to test ng Gu, she deliberately told him about their parents' worries and said that their parents had asked about their marriage plans.

As a result, ng Gu calmly said. "I will call them. If they ask you the next ti, tell them to call directly and not to harass you." So, does he an that he does not have any plans? If he has plans, wouldn't he tell straight away?

Chen Ruo Yu was a bit disappointed. But when she thought of the ti when she first decided to be with ng Gu, she had thought a lot and maybe ng Gu is now doing an assessnt of so situation.

She should believe in him. Thinking of this, Chen Ruo Yu was able to accept this situation. The most important thing is that ng Gu is really good to her and they are living very happily.

On this day, Chen Ruo Yu went shopping and bought so clothes for ng Gu.

During this ti, ng Gu was away on a business trip. He went abroad to attend a seminar with the Director. He said this was a good opportunity for him to learn and he felt very happy. But two days ago, he had called her to tell her that his favorite blue shirt was dirtied at the reception when he accidentally spilled so wine on it. Then that guy who always squandered money threw away the shirt without hesitation, with the excuse that wine stains could not be removed. He also said that the cost of washing the shirt was not cheap and a new shirt could be bought with laundry cost plus an additional small amount of money.

Chen Ruo Yu rembered that shirt was very expensive. She really wanted to make ng Gu tell her how much was the cost of laundering the shirt so that she could compare the cost and find out how much she had to top up to buy him a new shirt. In actual fact, she knew her family's Mr. Tyrannosaurus is lazy and he did not want to put the dirty shirt in his bag to bring it ho. Sotis his weird disorder of laziness and fetish for cleanliness really make her want to knock him on his head.

Well, anyway, she rembered the matter about his shirt. Tomorrow is the day Mr. Tyrannosaurus will be returning ho and she wanted to give him a surprise. So she went shopping and bought him a new shirt that was exactly the sa with the shirt he threw away to give him as a reunion gift.

When she bought the shirt, she saw a pair of pants. The style looked good and the size was also right for Mr. Tyrannosaurus, so she bought him a pair of pants as well. When she passed the shoe store, she saw a pair of n's leather shoes on display. The shoes looked very smart and so she could not control herself and bought a pair. Later, she rembered that several of his underwear had been worn for a long ti. It was ti for him to change them, so she went to the store that he usually frequented to buy him a few pieces of branded underwear of his favorite styles and patterns.

After a round of shopping, all the shopping bags she carried in her hands were all for Mr. Tyrannosaurus. Chen Ruo Yu thought for a while and felt there should not be anything that she had left out and she was satisfied with the result. So she went to the café on the first floor of the mall for a rest. She planned to have a drink before leaving.

She sat down at a table near the floor-to-ceiling panel glass window and propped up her chin with her hands to look out at the street scene. People were walking and moving around on the streets. There were a few sweet couples and one of them seed like an old couple. A pair of white-haired old folks was resting on a bench facing the street. The old man gave the old lady a bottle of water and the old lady handed a handkerchief to the old man to wipe his sweat.She watched the couple and felt really envious. If she and ng Gu could be like them, beco an old couple, how happy would it be? Suddenly she thought, ng Gu that guy did not make any move recently.......could it be he is waiting for her to propose marriage first?

Then she seriously thought about this. According to the temper of her Mr. Tyrannosaurus, there is really such a possibility. She thought about his behavior and the more she thought about this, the more she felt that it was possible and it seed he had hinted several tis to her.

For example, he had said that he would not mind if she takes the initiative. Of course, that scene, at that ti, she was a bit shy and she did not think much of it. Another example, he had said that if she did not like a bouquet made out of human bone models, then she had to personally find a solution to it. At that ti, she had thought he was trying to stir up trouble with her. Well, in short, she did not pay much attention to several of this kind of conversation held in a joking manner but now thinking about this carefully, it is quite reasonable for him not to make any movent.

So in order to satisfy his male vanity, should she take the initiative to propose to him? She does not mind doing this and if she can make him happy, she will feel happy too. However, this kind of thing is a bit taxing on her brains. She is a bit stupid, so how should she propose to make it a grand and impressive proposal, so that it will make him happy and also allow her to keep her face? She feels a little lazy and does not want to use her brains. Therefore, this matter is best left to ng Gu to do it.

Chen Ruo Yu seriously thought about this and decided to send ng Gu a text ssage to test him.

~ I saw an old couple on the street. They were so loving.

ng Gu quickly returned her text ssage.

~ Wait for to co back and let love you.

Pei! Saying indecent words again! Chen Ruo Yu thought......is my hint not clear enough for him to understand?

At this ti, ng Gu sent a text ssage to her and asked her where she was, on which street and what she was doing there. She replied to him and also hinted again, saying that she went shopping to buy underwear for him like they were an old couple.

ng Gu replied.

~ Very good. Whoever bought it will have to be responsible for taking it off.

Chen Ruo Yu looked at her phone and blushed. This man, will he die if he does not tease her for a day? Just as she was holding her phone and smiling, she saw an attractive figure outside the window coming from a distance walking towards her.

When that person ca near Chen Ruo Yu, her footsteps faltered and a look of surprise showed on her face. She had also noticed Chen Ruo Yu.

It was Qi Yao.

The two won looked at each other for a mont through the floor-to-ceiling panel glass window.

Chen Ruo Yu blinked and felt her spirits dampened. A short while back, when this woman was drunk, she took the opportunity to pretend to be crazily drunk and called ng Gu on the phone. She cried bitterly and begged for pity on the phone but ng Gu ignored her. Later, she arranged for a class reunion and got other people to invite ng Gu over. When ng Gu saw her, he turned around and left. This matter made Chen Ruo Yu very unhappy.

Chen Ruo Yu could not fully understand. Since Qi Yao had abandoned ng Gu that year, and now turning around, she is so infatuated with him, so what does this an? And isn't it true that Qi Yao is said to be very proud? If she is such a proud woman, why then did she degrade herself to do such a thing? ng Gu explained to her. "Because she is too proud, so she can't convince herself that she has been rejected."She will only allow herself to abandon others but does not accept she has been rejected by others? This kind of selfish pride makes people nauseous.

Chen Ruo Yu believes this woman still loves ng Gu but her love is too distorted which is completely beyond Chen Ruo Yu's scope of understanding. Chen Ruo Yu turned her head around and pretended not to see her.

She was concentrating on playing with her cell phone and thought about sending a ssage to ng Gu to ask him the ti of his flight tomorrow. She planned to pick him up but before she could even key in the text, suddenly soone sat down at her table. Chen Ruo Yu raised her head and saw Qi Yao.

She frowned and felt a little unhappy. What does this woman an by coming over?

"I want to talk to you." Qi Yao said and her tone sounded extrely rude.

Chen Ruo Yu put down her cell phone and stared at her. Qi Yao added. "Let's talk." She really was overbearing with an imposing manner.

It was a pity that Chen Ruo Yu had been trained by Mr. Tyrannosaurus for such a long ti and she had already adapted to face this kind of overbearing and imposing manner. She pursed her lips and said. "This lady.....by right if you have good manners, you should have said..... 'Please, can I talk to you?'. After I had agreed, then you can sit down. But if I don't agree to talk to you, you should say 'Sorry for disturbing you.' and then leave quietly."

When Qi Yao heard those words, her face turned black and had an ugly expression. Gritting her teeth, she said. "I have already sat down." She displayed a grand posture as if to say 'What can you do?'.

Playing roguish? Chen Ruo Yu sneered in her heart. Unfortunately for Qi Yao, Chen Ruo Yu has a lot of experience handling rogues and she only accepts this type of behavior from her family's Mr. Tyrannosaurus.

"So what if you had sat down? Your legs are not fractured, so you can still stand up and walk. No one is stopping you." Chen Ruo Yu also put on a grand posture that says 'No one cares about you.'

"Why are you putting on airs?" Qi Yao could not control her composure. She just wanted to co over and vent out her resentnt but did not expect she would run into a hard nail.

"This is not called 'putting on airs'. This is called discourtesy." Chen Ruo Yu straightened her back. "As to why I can be discourteous to you, there is also a good explanation. First, you ca uninvited, you don't have manners. Second, you have a hateful personality, when I see you it annoys . Third, you have bad motives, I don't have anything to discuss with you. So, can you tell why I should be courteous to you? In addition, I should ask you in return ~ Why are you putting on airs?"

The color on Qi Yao's face turned pale and then green. She said coldly. "I did not expect you have the gift of gab, different from what they said."

"It's my family's ng Gu who had taught well." Chen Ruo Yu deliberately angered her. "In addition, you are already old enough and not young anymore, so don't always listen to other people. Don't you have eyes and brains to judge for yourself? Or is it, if there is a situation you would put the bla on others and say it has nothing to do with you? It was like this when you made discreet enquiries about ng Gu. The sa happened when you wanted to see ng Gu. Now you co looking for purposely to cause trouble and you are also behaving like this. If they tell you that you should die, will you do it? Also, you said 'They said'......who are 'They'? What did they say about ? If you want to hint that I am a fool in the eyes of other people, then you can stop hinting. Just say it to directly. I am very stupid. If you want to belittle , don't go around in circles, I won't be able to understand. If I don't understand, you won't have a sense of accomplishnt and once you don't have that feeling, you will make yourself angry. So why bother doing it?"After Chen Ruo Yu had finished speaking, she felt very angry and unable to control herself, she added. "I seed to have said quite a lot. Usually, I am really stupid but today I have far exceeded my level of expression. It seems being angry can also stimulate a person's potential."

She picked up her cell phone that was lying on the table and sent a text ssage to ng Gu to ask him the ti of his flight ho tomorrow. This ti, she really needed the good news of her Mr. Tyrannosaurus hocoming to comfort herself.

Qi Yao was livid as she sat opposite Chen Ruo Yu without speaking. Chen Ruo Yu did not even want to look directly at her and planned to leave after she had sent the text ssage. She was too lazy to talk nonsense with this woman.

As a result, ng Gu replied as soon as her ssage was sent out. At the sa ti, Qi Yao also started to talk.

The text ssage was.

~ Not telling you.

Really hateful! Chen Ruo Yu felt that her Mr. Tyrannosaurus is getting naughtier.

And the words Qi Yao said was. "I love ng Gu."

This is even more annoying.

Chen Ruo Yu felt that Qi Yao must be sent here by a shaless planet to attack the earth and her duty was to teach the people on earth her shaless skills.

Chen Ruo Yu threw back a sentence at her flatly. "ng Gu loves ." She put her cell phone into her bag, gathered her shopping bags that were beside her and prepared to leave.

In the end, Qi Yao felt it was still not enough and said to Chen Ruo Yu nauseatingly. "So what if he loves you? I will forever be in his heart."

Suddenly Chen Ruo Yu stopped her hand movents and raised her head to look at Qi Yao.

Qi Yao looked pale and her hands were twisted together. Her words were squeezed out one by one from her mouth. "You don't understand the feelings we had for each other at that ti. You will not know how much we love each other. He will never love another woman as he loves just as I will never love another man as I love him."

Chen Ruo Yu stared at her and studied her for a while. Then she dropped her shopping bags and sat up straight. She said. "Miss Qi, with your state of mind, are you sure you can really be a doctor? What if you give the wrong diagnosis to a patient? Are there any regulations in your dical system that will make sure a person who is ntally sick cannot be a doctor? Do you go for yearly check-ups?"

"No matter what you say, you can never deny the fact that I and ng Gu's have deep feelings for each other, so deep that he will never forget . Even though we can't be together, sowhere in his heart there will always be a place for ."

Chen Ruo Yu suppressed the impulse to pick up the glass of water on the table to splash it on her. She gritted her teeth. Now she knows Qi Yao's real purpose for coming in. She did not co to snatch away ng Gu because she could not do it. Qi Yao ca just to make her suffer in pain, make her angry and make her vent her temper on ng Gu. Even if she could not be together with ng Gu, she did not want his current girlfriend to have it easy.

For the first ti, Chen Ruo Yu understood the true aning of 'Anger turning into Laughter' because she smiled. She was very angry, her lungs were almost going to explode but she still smiled and said. "Miss Qi, do you know? When I was a child, I loved to eat dates very much but once I ate a bug in a date. Imdiately I beca so sick that I vomited all the contents in my stomach. Thereafter, I never ate dates anymore because I have a psychological shadow. I will always rember the disgusting feeling I had when I bit into the bug. Miss Qi, ng Gu will also feel the sa. Of course, he will never forget you since he does not have amnesia. So what is so surprising if he still rembers you in his heart? Are you so lonely at present that even this can make you feel so imasurably self-satisfied? You had plunged a knife into ng Gu's heart. Do you think you should feel proud because a man rembered you for the hurt you caused him? You are wrong. Have you heard of the saying 'The wound is healed, the scar is forgotten'? Now I am taking care of ng Gu's heart."Chen Ruo Yu stood up and picked her up shopping bags. She said. "Miss Qi, you are not young anymore. I rembered in a movie there was a line that said......once a woman had aged, the possibility of marrying compared to the possibility of getting killed by a terrorist is very much lower. The relationship of my family's ng Gu and you had already ended. So you should do your best."

She carried her shopping bags, picked up the bill and was about to walk to the check-out counter to pay when Qi Yao stared at her and suddenly said. "ng Gu's first ti was mine. Our first ti was given to each other."

Chen Ruo Yu did not turn her head and replied. "In the future, his every ti will be mine."

Angrily she rushed to the counter to pay her bill and then decided to leave. But suddenly Chen Ruo Yu turned around and strode back to Qi Yao and said to her. "Miss Qi, in the past you hurt ng Gu because your family's condition was not good and felt everyone looked down on you. You don't want other people to think that you and ng Gu were together because you harbored intentions. But you have to understand that a family's condition that is not good and poor, are not the reasons people look down on you. Only people who belittle themselves will allow other people to look down on them. Miss Qi, don't bla others for looking down on you and don't resent ng Gu for not looking back. Let tell you, there are reasons for this. You should go back and take a good look at yourself in the mirror. You are really too cheap!"

After saying all those words in one breath, she saw Qi Yao clenched her fists and her face had turned livid. Chen Ruo Yu was unable to describe Qi Yao's expression and the look in her eyes. Anger? Embarrassnt? Grief?

Does Qi Yao feel regretful? Does she feel foolish for coming over to pick on her? But a normal person should know that such inferior and retarded actions were not good, so did she do this on an impulse because she was unable to control herself?

Chen Ruo Yu looked at the beautiful face of Qi Yao again. Reap what you sow! You deserve it! She really did not feel even a little sympathy for her.

With a belly full of anger, Chen Ruo Yu ca out and hailed a taxi ho. Along the way, the more she thought, the angrier she beca. In this world, why are there this kind of won? One who had destroyed her own happiness and also wanted to destroy the happiness of others.

Chen Ruo Yu was thinking, if at that ti her pursuit of ng Gu was successful, then now being provoked by Qi Yao, perhaps she will really be unable to control herself and quarrel with ng Gu. Or maybe not quarrel since she is so useless, maybe she will feel sad, then ng Gu will be unhappy and impatient then it will still lead to quarreling. Then will there be a possibility they will develop into an unhappy couple?

Fortunately, ng Gu had rejected her at the beginning. When he rejected her, it gave her a chance to slowly get along with him, it gave her a chance to think a lot, it gave her a chance to mold herself ntally and spiritually, it gave her a chance to really understand him and fall in love with him.

So now she is strong, rational and tolerant. She felt very angry, very angry with Qi Yao and at the sa ti she felt her heart ache......her heart ached for her Mr. Tyrannosaurus who had once been hurt by this kind of a woman.

Chen Ruo Yu sniffed and ca to the decision that she would take the initiative to propose to ng Gu. He is a good man and he is worthy of a woman who does not care about other issues, one who will only give him love and make him happy. And she......she wants to be this woman.

Once she had decided, imdiately she thought of how to propose to him. Well, the proposal will be set for tomorrow so that ng Gu will get a surprise when he cos back.

What are the items generally used for a proposal? Ring, fresh flowers, balloons...... What else?

First, it is the ring, which is an obstacle for her. She did not know how thick is ng Gu's finger and she did not even know the way the size of a ring is determined. She is not as sharp as ng Gu in deciding the style of the rings and in case he does not like the style of the ring she had picked, it would look bad. It seems like the ring is not easy to get ready.

She thought about this. She decided to use a pen to draw a ring round his finger first and later when the proposal is successful, then only they will go hand-in-hand to buy a real ring.

Then there are the flowers and the balloons. She sent a text ssage to ng Gu again and asked him for the ti of his flight tomorrow. That guy ng Gu still gave her the sa reply.

~ Not telling you.

Really hateful! How could there be such a hateful man? If he did not tell her the ti, how would she be able to decorate the house to give him a surprise? She thought about this and decided to buy the things first. She knew where she could find a flower shop which also sells balloons and small decorative festive items. So she quickly instructed the driver to turn around and take her there.
