Ye Chen hurriedly embraced the emotionally unstable Zhang Yantong in his arms and gently comforted her, "Tongtong, I know I have wronged you!"
"No, I’m not wronged. It’s Li Ruo, it’s Lingling and Momo who are wronged!" Zhang Yantong tightly hugged Ye Chen and said, "Because you married first, so they are the ones most wronged!"
Zhang Yantong’s words made Ye Chen feel extrely guilty. As a man, he constantly needed the won around him to think of him. Without them, he would not have been able to reach where he was today.
Ye Chen exhaled a heavy breath and then said, "Tongtong, you’ve worked hard!"
"No, I’m not tired at all!" Zhang Yantong sighed and then said, "Now you need to ask Li Ruo if she is willing. Ever since she ca to Sunset City, I felt sothing was off about her emotions, after all, you and she were together first. Then you married first. And now, you’re going to marry multiple won. Do you think what you’re doing is right?"
"I..." Ye Chen awkwardly looked at Zhang Yantong, uncertain about how to handle so things. He could only follow his feelings, follow his own thoughts. Just like this wedding, Ye Chen knew he had to give these won a beautiful mory. Otherwise, he would regret it when he grew old. Ye Chen nodded and then said, "Alright, I’ll go find Xiao Ruo now!"
"Go, she’s over there waiting for you!" Zhang Yantong looked at Li Ruo, who had her back to Ye Chen not far away. She was intently gazing at the distant mountains, as if her dreams were hidden there, longing for an unattainable dream.
"Hmm, then you accompany Lingling and Momo!" Ye Chen said with a calm smile.
"Hmm!" Zhang Yantong felt much better inside. At least from the recent scene, Ye Chen cared about her, Ye Chen liked her. So, Zhang Yantong had nothing more to say, because she had gained all the advantages. In the eyes of others, she was Ye Chen’s lawfully wedded wife, while Li Ruo and the others were just concubines. So, Zhang Yantong felt quite satisfied inside.
Li Ruo, with her back to everyone, was crying uncontrollably. She didn’t know why; there had never been a day as sad as today, never a day as painful as today. Many things beca clear today. Feelings were indeed sothing that could not be compromised. Even if she pretended to be generous, she was the one who felt wronged in the end. She couldn’t compromise. Ye Chen seed like a complete villain, pushing her step by step, giving her no room to retreat, no chance to dodge, forcing her into a dark corner with no way out.
"Xiao Ruo, what’s wrong?" Ye Chen asked with a cheerful grin as he walked over.
"No, don’t co over!" Li Ruo suddenly panicked and started wiping her tears. She was a strong woman who did not want her tears to be seen by others. Regardless of who it was, she absolutely would not let them see her vulnerable side. Li Ruo’s behavior stunned Ye Chen. The more flustered Li Ruo appeared, the more Ye Chen rushed over.
Li Ruo was enveloped in Ye Chen’s arms as he hurriedly asked, "Xiao Ruo, what’s wrong? Who bullied you? Tell !"
"No one bullied , no one, really no one!" Li Ruo’s tears flowed like a breached dam, and she began to cry loudly. Dian Ling and Momo initially planned to go over and comfort her, but Zhang Yantong stopped them and quietly signaled them not to approach, saying, "You don’t need to go over; let Ye Chen handle this matter. Your presence would be unnecessary!"
Dian Ling understood, but Liu Momo was particularly naive and curiously asked, "Sister Tongtong, what happened to Sister Xiao Ruo? Did Brother Chen bully her?"
"That’s right, Ye Chen the bastard bullied her!" Zhang Yantong imdiately nodded.
"Then we should help Sister Xiao Ruo!" Liu Momo hurriedly said.
"We shouldn’t get involved. It’s sothing between them!" Zhang Yantong said with a calm smile, "So things aren’t easily resolved, especially when it cos to emotional matters. Haven’t you heard the saying, ’A heart ailnt requires a heart redy’?"
"Oh!" Liu Momo nodded.
The three quietly retreated, while Ye Chen and Li Ruo continued to be entangled on the platform. Ye Chen didn’t know what was wrong with Li Ruo, so he asked tensely, "Xiao Ruo, tell , what’s going on? Why are you crying? Did soone bully you?"
"Yes, that’s right, soone did bully !" Li Ruo imdiately said, "This person hurt , made sad, made heartbroken, made it hard for to breathe!"
"Tell , who was it, who bullied you?" Ye Chen asked urgently.
"This person is you, you bastard!" Li Ruo’s inner world suddenly erupted. She raised her fist and pounded hard on Ye Chen’s chest. It must be said, Li Ruo’s strength was considerable, and Ye Chen couldn’t help but take several sharp breaths, but Li Ruo didn’t care about all that at the mont. She was just relentlessly venting her inner anger, gritting her teeth, her cries sharp and hoarse. She was angry, enraged, hysterical...
Ye Chen didn’t dare to stop her. If this kind of venting could calm her down, then let her keep hitting him. Anyway, her strength wouldn’t hurt him. However, after a few dozen seconds, Li Ruo stopped, perhaps because she was tired, and quietly lay in Ye Chen’s arms. Ye Chen could hear her faint sobbing. Ye Chen didn’t understand why he had offended her or when he had bullied her!
"Xiao Ruo, what’s wrong?" Ye Chen hurriedly asked.
"I’m fine!" Li Ruo shook her head and said, "I just feel uncomfortable, I don’t want to marry you anymore!"
"What?!" Ye Chen was imdiately shocked and quickly asked, "Why... why is that? But you promised to marry !"
"Can’t I change my mind now?" Li Ruo glared at Ye Chen and then said, "In matters like this, are you going to force ? Didn’t you say you wanted to willingly marry you? What, are you planning to back out as well?"
"No, no, I’m not!" Ye Chen imdiately shook his head and said, "Of course, I won’t go back on my word, I just, I really don’t understand, why would you want to back out?"
"I think as a woman, I shouldn’t wrong myself, should I?" Li Ruo seriously looked at Ye Chen and then smiled and said, "Ye Chen, you’ve been wronging over and over again. And I’ve been tolerating it over and over again, do you think I’m worth it?"
"I..." Ye Chen was instantly dumbfounded, he didn’t know what to do, indeed, Li Ruo had been very wronged. Who made him a playboy? Who made him unable to control his own feelings? Ye Chen hesitated and said, "Xiao Ruo, then... then what do you want to do?"
"I don’t want to do anything!" Li Ruo stubbornly turned her head away.
Ye Chen helplessly asked, "Xiao Ruo, we’re at such a crucial point, why are you still throwing a tantrum?"
"Ye Chen, please understand, I’m not throwing a tantrum, I’m talking to you about important matters!" Li Ruo seriously looked at Ye Chen and said, "I don’t want my life to be ssed up like this, I don’t want to be tricked onto the pirate ship by you without knowing what I’m getting into."
"Then what will it take for you to marry ?" Ye Chen hurriedly asked.
"Hmph, if you want to marry you, it’s easy!" Li Ruo snorted softly and said, "You just need to guarantee that you’ll marry only !"
"What?!" Ye Chen was montarily stunned, as if a lightning bolt struck his mind. He stared dumbly at Li Ruo and said, "Xiao Ruo, you’ve changed!"
"That’s right, I’ve changed!" Li Ruo nodded expressionlessly and said, "I can’t not think about myself, I don’t want my whole life to be bound to your harem. I admit you’re a hero, I admit you’re a man I admire, but I don’t want my life to end just like this!"
At this mont, Ye Chen seed to understand. Li Ruo’s behavior resembled a condition known as pre-marriage syndro. It’s a condition that appears before marriage, often occurring more among successful won. Because they have enviable jobs, countless suitors, at this mont giving it all up for one man seems perhaps not worth it.
Ye Chen hugged Li Ruo and then smiled and said, "Xiao Ruo, please calm down. Try to rember the good tis between us, try to rember when we first t, do you rember how I was injured for you? Do you rember when I risked my life for you? When that car with a bomb installed rushed towards you, it was who stood in front of you recklessly..."
After Li Ruo’s eyes wavered for a mont, her expression seed to beco very tense. She hugged Ye Chen and then cried, "Ye Chen, why... why does it have to be like this? I... I really love you and I’m really afraid of losing you, but... but I really can’t accept it. I really can’t accept marrying you along with other won, it’s not that I don’t love you, it’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I like you too much!"
"Why? Xiao Ruo, didn’t you already agree to marry together with them?" Ye Chen hurriedly asked.
"But I’ve changed my mind, I don’t want to share you with them!" Li Ruo looked up at Ye Chen, her face full of tears, making Ye Chen’s heart ache. He hurriedly wiped the tears from Li Ruo’s face and then said, "In my eyes, you’re the only one for . After all the ups and downs we’ve been through, all the life and death. They have nothing, why should I share you with them? I refuse, I don’t want to. I won’t!"
Seeing Li Ruo’s hysteria, Ye Chen also found himself at a loss. It turned out, this was what Li Ruo was really thinking. They say won are changeable, they say won are selfish, it seems this isn’t false at all. Ye Chen sighed and asked, "Xiao Ruo, you’ve really changed!"
"Yes, for love, I’ve truly changed!" Li Ruo nodded and then said, "I want you to be mine alone, I want this palace to belong to just ! If you can, I will marry you; if you can’t, then I will leave. I’ll give you back to them, and hand over this beautiful Royal Palace without hesitation!"
