From the neighborhood to the entrance of the apartment building, whenever he got closer to her, she would run like a rabbit being chased by a hunter.

He was afraid that something would happen to her, so he could only slow down and walk a few steps away.

As a result, when she fell, he did not even have the time to catch her.

Sang Minglang stared at Ruan Xiaoshuang. He couldn’t tell whether it was heartache or anger, but it was like sharp and painful needles were stabbing into his heart.

On the other hand, Ruan Xiaoshuang did not seem to notice anything. She only lowered her head as she fumbled around for the ring on the ground.

It was her and Song Yu’s wedding ring.

If she had asked him for help, he could have easily helped her pick up the ring.

However, she refused to speak no matter what.

Rage surged up as Sang Minglang laughed coldly, “Ruan Xiaoshuang, you’re really amazing. You just want to draw a clear line with me so badly.”

Sang Minglang suddenly made a move and pinched her chin, his expression somewhat gloomy.

He inched closer to her slowly, his breath on her face as he said word by word, “Sure. Let’s wait and see.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang panicked. Her body trembled slightly as she tried to break free, but he was holding her so hard that it was futile.

Her chin hurt from being pinched. She didn’t know what was wrong with him and why he was so angry, but she felt a strange strong uneasiness for no reason.

“Mr. Sang, your girlfriend is still waiting for you outside.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang tried her best to calm down. “Don’t do anything rash…” “Anything rash?”

Sang Minglang chuckled and lowered his voice meaningfully. “In this neighborhood, where people come and go, how could I do anything?”

He let go of Ruan Xiaoshuang and reached out to pick up the ring box that was not far away, opening it.

It was a ring from a famous brand. The diamond on the ring shone brightly even under the dim streetlights.

“My sister gave you this ring, right? Song Yu couldn’t even afford a ring of this brand.”

Sang Minglang seemed to have thought of something, and his voice carried a hint of ridicule, “He really is shameless. It’s fine if he asked someone else to help prepare his own wedding, but he even asked them to give him a wedding ring. Alas, he’s really a spectacle. He’s even more interesting than I was back then.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang’s face turned pale. Of course, she knew what Sang Minglang meant.

Many years ago, when they were studying abroad, their feelings for each other were so strong that they had plans of getting married.

However, Sang Minglang had a falling out with his family at that time, and his finances were tight. He couldn’t afford a diamond ring, so the proposal ring for the proposal was very cheap. Even for their wedding, they decided to only invite the priest to witness the blessing in the church and not invite any friends.

But, at the very least the ring was still carefully chosen by him, and he was also the one who picked out the church after going to many houses.

“I’ve never cared about these formalities, I never did, and I still don’t. As for the ring, it’s just a symbol. So what if it was cheap or expensive? The maintenance of a relationship doesn’t depend on these worldly possessions.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang’s voice was still calm, but it carried a faint sharpness. It was clearly a response to Sang Minglang’s words.

Sang Minglang smiled, “Alright, then I want to see how long your relationship with Song Yu can last.”

He stuffed the ring box into Ruan Xiaoshuang’s hands and pulled her up without any explanation, dragging her into the building and to the elevator. “Which floor and which room?”

Ruan Xiaoshuang didn’t say anything. “I can go up by myself. You don’t have to send me.”

“That won’t do. I have to do a good deed to the end. After all, I don’t want my sister calling me an unreliable man.”

Sang Minglang’s large palms were like iron pincers, firmly gripping Ruan Xiaoshuang’s arm, not allowing her to struggle. “Hurry up, my girlfriend is still waiting outside.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang bit her lip, but she still told him the floor and room number.

He didn’t say anything more and pressed the elevator button.

The two of them walked silently to Ruan Xiaoshuang’s door. Ruan Xiaoshuang took out the keys from her bag and turned around. “We’ve arrived. Mr. Sang, you can go now. Thank you for sending me back.”

She thought that Sang Minglang would leave after sending her home.

However, he had no intention of leaving. “Open the door.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang took a deep breath. “It’s so late and Ah Yu isn’t home. I’m alone, so it’s really inconvenient for Mr. Sang to come in.”

“You don’t have to mention Song Yu in front of me. It’s annoying.”

Sang Minglang took the key from her hand and opened the door.

He looked around the room and frowned.

The house’s living conditions were terrible.

Sang Minglang glanced at the cabinet in the living room and found what he was looking for. He walked over and opened the glass door. He took out a small medicine box from inside and found a bottle of injury medicine. He turned around and looked at Ruan Xiaoshuang, who was still standing at the door. “Still not coming in?”

Ruan Xiaoshuang didn’t know what he was doing, but she could tell that he was opening the closet door and rummaging through it.

Holding back her emotions, she reminded him again, “Mr. Sang, your girlfriend is waiting for you. You can go now.”

Sang Minglang ignored her and pulled her in, closing the door behind him.

The sound of the door slamming shut was like a heavy hammer smashing into Ruan Xiaoshuang’s heart, making her heart tremble.

Before she could say anything, Sang Minglang had already pulled her to the sofa and pushed her onto it.

“What are you doing?!” Ruan Xiaoshuang screamed.

“Have you forgotten what I said during dinner so quickly? Don’t worry, I’m not interested in other people’s wives.”

Sang Minglang pressed down on her knee, somewhat impatient. “Sit tight. I’ll leave immediately after I’m done applying medicine to your wound.”

His slightly rough fingers picked up the cold ointment and applied it on her knee, gently making circles.

Although Sang Minglang’s attitude wasn’t very appealing, his actions were gentle.

Ruan Xiaoshuang’s entire body was stiff, and her palm holding the sofa cushion was drenched in sweat.

Her mind was blank at that moment.

This was until Sang Minglang finally stood up and lightly said to her, “Alright, I’m done. Goodbye.”

Afterward, there was the sound of footsteps leaving and the sound of the door opening and closing.

After confirming he had finally left, Ruan Xiaoshuang laid on the sofa like a fish that was about to suffocate.

Something cold dripped onto the back of her hand, more and more dripping on soon after.

She thought that she had really moved on, but it turned out to be a joke she had made toward herself.

Sang Minglang’s simple actions had caused the defensive line she thought was strong to crumble instantly.

Perhaps the only thing worth celebrating was that he already had a girlfriend and did not have any other feelings for her.

‘In the future, we’ll each go our separate ways and be happy…’

Sang Minglang didn’t go downstairs immediately. Instead, he leaned against the dim corridor and lit a cigarette.

When he returned to the car, Zhang Xue looked at him with a complicated expression.

Not long after the car started, she said faintly, “President Sang, you said that I’m your girlfriend in front of everyone tonight.. Are you sure about that?”
