Chapter 232 – He had already made a supre effort to satisfy her maidenly heart (3)
They deliberately looked for topics to talk about and discuss topics from their work to society in general. Anyways, they talked about anything that they could think of. At so point in ti, Ruan Xia couldn’t hold back her exhaustion anymore. As they talked, her voice got quieter and quiet until she eventually fell asleep.
“Are you awake?” Song Tingshen quietly asked. Not getting a response, he guessed that Ruan Xia had fallen asleep.
He looked at the ceiling. The mansion was too close to the beach to the point that he could hear the waves. She had fallen asleep, but he was having a hard ti with doing the sa.
Ruan Xia’s behavior had been strange in the past two days. He didn’t ask her because he knew her temperant. If he asked her questions when she didn’t want to say sothing, it would put her in a difficult spot. Moreover, he didn’t want to see her making up excuses in order to avoid giving him a real answer.
Thinking about it carefully, everything about today was odd. He had co to her company retreat under the identity of her family mber, and her manager had clearly told her that she couldn’t bring along any family mbers when she was in her trial period. Logically, he should have stayed in a nearby hotel. That would have been the appropriate thing to do. Ruan Xia wasn’t the type that liked to take advantage of others, especially for this type of thing. And yet, she told him to co over here in a tone that wouldn’t take no for an answer, so he had co here with Little Wang.
After he had co here, she had asked him to cooperate with her in acting as a loving couple. That part was very strange too. If she wanted to do this in front of Little Wang, then that was understandable. Why would she want to put on a performance for her coworkers that had nothing to do with them?
Although Song Tingshen couldn’t understand a woman’s thought process, it didn’t an he was stupid. He was able to figure out that Ruan Xia was doing this because she wanted to show that in front of soone...
Who could this person be? And why would Ruan Xia want to do that?
He guessed that this person likes Ruan Xia. Moreover, that person made her uneasy, so that’s why she wanted to put on a performance of being a loving couple. Her purpose was very simple. It was either to make the other party jealous or to make the other party give up on her.
With the conversation they had tonight, Song Tingshen believed that he could tentatively rule out the forr possibility. She was an honest person. If she really had soone that she likes, she would tell him. After all, they had reached a common understanding on this issue. Moreover, if she had soone that she likes, then the conversation they had tonight wouldn’t have happened.
Yes, it had to be that she wanted soone to give up on her, but who was that person?
Song Tingshen figured it out just by using his brain a little bit more. She had been acting very odd by the swimming pool. When they were leaving, she wanted him to put his arm around her shoulder or hold her hand. She was doing that to show soone. Many of her coworkers were present at the ti. Based on that alone, it wasn’t enough to identify that other party. But recently, Ruan Xia had been so concerned about Little Wang’s conversation with CEO Qin...
If he was an ordinary male coworker, Ruan Xia probably wouldn’t feel so uneasy.
Song Tingshen sighed. If all his guesses were reasonable, it ant that CEO Qin was interested in Ruan Xia and Ruan Xia knew about it. Moreover, she had tried all sorts of ways to make him give up.
He stretched his hand out. They were just close enough that he could touch her. He gently stroked her face. He felt rather helpless. His wife was a magnet for the opposite s*x. Duan Chi was gone, and now there seed to be a CEO Qin. This was so troubleso.
