Rong Yan paused while pulling his tie and poked her head in dissatisfaction. “Luo Anning, what is up with your attitude? Are you patronizing me?”
“Rong Yan, cut it out. I’m feeling frustrated… ” Luo Anning shrugged his fingers away and knocked her head against his knees.
“Ah, you’re really brazen.” Rong Yan sneered and immediately got into the mood for teasing her.
He cupped her face in his hand and sighed again with a sullen expression. Luo Anning asked, “Rong Yan, what’s wrong with you?”
Rong Yan kept his eyes fixed on her and said, “Luo Anning… what do we do now? I’m afraid that your case… Sigh.”
Rong Yan then sighed and pretended to be extremely worried and frustrated, causing Luo Anning’s heart to wrench up.
Or is it that he doesn’t have any other choice?
Is there no way to clear my name?
Looking at Rong Shao’s sorrowful face, she knew that he had already done enough for her. She could not help but smile bitterly and place her hand on his. “Rong Yan, let’s get a divorce. Well, if I can’t get rid of the charges, I don’t want to implicate you and Baina International. If this is fate, I’ll resign to it.”
She felt like she was giving him her last words and instantly teared up. The watery glow in her eyes made her look extremely pitiful.
Rong Yan knew that he had taken the joke too far and she would probably burst into tears if he were to go on. He got a grip on his emotions, cleared his throat and said, “Um… I was just teasing you. Everything went well and I believe you’ll be proven innocent soon.”
Luo Anning’s body immediately stiffened and she stared at him in disbelief before asking, “What did you say?”
“I said, I was just teasing you. Look how shocked you are. No matter how incompetent I may be, I’ll never be powerless to the extent of failing to protect my own wife.” Rong Yan spoke austerely and stood up in a bid to go to the dining hall to see what she had prepared for dinner.
Upon hearing his words, Luo Anning snapped back to reality and threw a bolster at him. “Rong Yan, you jerk! How could you make fun of me at such a juncture? Do you know how scared I was!?!”
Rong Yan turned around and hurriedly caught the flying pillow, played with it in his hand, and looked at her indifferently. “Luo Anning, you’re usually such a bold and brazen person. How could you be so easily scared?”
“Why don’t you try being pinned as a murder suspect!?!” Luo Anning suddenly thumped herself down onto the couch and continued, “I haven’t gone out for more than half a month, and I’m too afraid to read the news, newspapers and magazines. Those who scolded me, condemned me and sent me death threats… I really don’t dare to look at it… Everyone thinks that I killed Ou Lixue and they all wish death upon me… A life for a life… ”
Rong Yan could not get used to how emotional she suddenly was. For the past few days, he had been too busy with work and hence neglected her feelings. It seemed to him that she really could not take it anymore.
Staring at her as she hung her head low, Rong Yan walked towards her and lifted her chin forcefully with his finger. “Hey, you’re not crying, are you?”
Luo Anning’s eyes turned red and she stared at him stubbornly, after which his heart immediately softened.
