Chapter 8, The Endurance of Unbearable Suffering

Upon arriving at the community where Ruo Ning resided, Tang Yifan got out of the car first, thoughtfully opening the car door for her and exaggeratedly making a very gentlemanly gesture, which elicited a faint smile from Ruo Ning as she extended her hand to him

Tang Yifan remained silent, affectionately ruffling her hair, slowly turning the steering wheel. He took out his phone to make a call, hesitated for a moment, feeling that speaking was not very convenient, and then put the phone down again

"Yifan, why don't you come up and sit for a while?" Ruoning's mother, feeling uneasy that her daughter had not returned so late, came downstairs and happened to run into them, her face adorned with a kind smile and her tone very gentle

Am I not mistaken? Mr. Tang? The magnetic voice carried a hint of laughter, realizing that Mr. Tang seemed to be in a somewhat depressed mood

"Then I will go in, you drive carefully." It was the first time that Mama caught them being so intimate, and Ruoning's cheeks flushed slightly.

He furrowed his thick brows and hung up the phone, waiting for someone to call him back. Before long, the phone rang, and he curled his lips into a smile

The car slowly headed in the direction of his home. Deep in thought, he took out his phone to make a call, but the line was busy. After five minutes, he dialed again, "Even the ringtone is this song, it's maddening." Hearing the familiar ringtone, Tang Yifan muttered to himself. The call connected, but it rang for a long time without anyone answering.

"Don't tell me that unfortunate beauty is named Ji Ruoning?" At this moment, Wen Xingyuan finally realized how foolish he could be, no wonder Qi Yan always scolded him as "big fool grandson"

For the second time, due to Ruoning catching a severe cold, he hurried to her home after work to see her. Ruoning's parents were very pleased with their future son-in-law and warmly welcomed Tang Yifan, inviting him to stay for dinner. After watching Ruoning take her medicine and confirming that her fever had subsided, he drove home. The next day at work, he realized he had left some documents at her house, so Ruoning had no choice but to deliver the materials to him. Seeing her displeased expression, Tang Yifan kissed her little face, which elicited a dissatisfied protest from her.

Good!" Tang Yifan was clearly taken aback, and when he came to his senses, a hint of unease flashed in his eyes, but he ultimately agreed.

Heavenly Lord, are you playing with me? I will eventually be toyed with to death

"Going far?" The tone was markedly different from the usual nonchalance during our conversations, and the person on the other end of the line was clearly taken aback.

I know. He admitted calmly, "I knew from the very beginning."

Who said that the three great regrets in life are: the hero's decline, the beauty's fading, and the handsome man's weight gain? In Tang Yifan's view, the three great regrets in life are actually: the hero is so handsome that it defies reason, the wife is so beautiful that she makes one drool, and the handsome man is both wealthy and powerful! Oh my God, what kind of world is this, there is absolutely no way to live, he possesses all three.

At that moment, he couldn't help but pound his chest and lament, how tragic it is that the greatest sorrow in life is having a girlfriend who finds him too handsome and too wealthy! What should he do? Should he take all his money and undergo plastic surgery? Make himself less attractive? That seems quite inhumane. He sighed deeply, feeling troubled for the first time by his own good looks

It was remembered that Ruoning first went to the company as his girlfriend under his insistence, as he had not seen her for half a month due to a business trip. Upon his return, he was in a hurry to attend a very important meeting, so Ruoning, who went to pick him up at the airport, was directly taken to the company and "bound" to his office.

I truly do not know what to do. Ruo Ning sighed and leaned back against the chair in a state of helplessness

Am I being too inconsiderate, should I not have let Yan Yan come back? Thinking of the sorrowful gaze Xu Yan had when she saw Han Nuo, Ruo Ning felt a deep ache in her heart

Am I putting pressure on her? In fact, I just don't want her to run so far alone. You have no idea how worried her brother is. "Ruo Ning simply prioritized her concern for Qi Yan, but did not realize that her "excessive" care instead reminded Qi Yan of the old wounds she had been trying hard to hide, adding to her troubles.

"Aunt, rest assured, I called Ruoning early to report in." He nodded, and the smile on his face grew wider

Why not just tell her that she is my girlfriend? Is it really embarrassing to be my girlfriend

Who cares? Just convert the gift into a check and send it to https://m.hetushu.com

Do you know who I married? Tang Yifan walked out of the parking lot, imagining the uncontrollable anger of Wen Xingyuan. In the past, he would have mocked him a few times, but now he simply could not bring himself to laugh, and his tone rarely turned serious.

Aunt, I have brought Ruoning back. " He affectionately held Ruoning's small hand in his palm, greeting her with a smile

However, it cannot be blamed on Tang Yifan for being narrow-minded. From the beginning of their relationship to now, as they are about to get married, Ruo Ning has always appeared calm and composed, rarely taking the initiative to meet him. At times, he even doubts how deeply she loves him. Fortunately, he understands her nature; to put it simply, she is just shy and always feels embarrassed to seek him out. Not to mention asking her to go to his company, that would be more painful for her than death.

Do you want me to ... ...

No, it's too late, I don't want to disturb your rest. I will accompany Ruoning back in a few days." He smiled faintly, thinking that in a few days he would accompany Ruoning back to her home, and he would have to start calling her parents "Mom and Dad," which suddenly made him feel a bit shy

I still cannot understand how Han Nuo changed his mind?" Ruo Ning sighed again, her face showing confusion.

Yi Fan?" If Ruo Ning sat quietly in the car, gazing out the window, it was not until Tang Yi Fan turned off the music that she turned her head and gently called out to him, elongating her tone.

I had previously informed you that I needed to step out and would not be able to rush back to attend your grand wedding, and I will make up for the gift upon my return. Knowing that Qi Yan was going back to her hometown, I had considered altering my schedule to attend Tang Yifan's wedding, but for some reason, a sense of disappointment suddenly arose within me. I found myself unexpectedly afraid of witnessing such a lively scene, feeling somewhat out of place.

It is getting late, so I won't go up. I will go upstairs to take a shower, be good and go to sleep, and don't think too much. But remember to think of me before you sleep, okay?" Tang Yifan kissed her cheek, holding her for a moment with some reluctance, until he vaguely saw a somewhat familiar figure ahead, before releasing his hand from her waist.

"What makes you so much in the spotlight, whether it's the image or the book? The receptionist insists on registering, and without an appointment, it's not possible. I dislike being questioned by her incessantly." Ruoning broke free from his embrace, placed the documents on his desk, and suddenly recalled the times she had been obstructed when coming to the company to find him for work-related matters

No need. There is nothing to be done. Understanding his intention, Wen Xingyuan quickly interrupted, "Let's invite him to gather together tomorrow evening."

Tang Yifan furrowed his thick brows, wearing an expression of helplessness. It seems that being handsome is indeed a crime, and being both handsome and wealthy is an even greater offense. At the very least, his family member Ji Ruoning is extremely dissatisfied with this situation.

"There is nothing wrong with coming back; one cannot avoid it for a lifetime." Tang Yifan spoke incisively

Indeed, not greedy. Tomorrow I will inform Secretary Zhang to fax the check to you

He can understand Ruoning's concern for Qiyan, but based on his observations today, Han Nuo's attitude seems somewhat ambiguous. To outsiders, it appears that he is paired with Xie Yuandong, yet intuitively, he believes that Han Nuo's feelings for Qiyan are certainly unusual. There may be some complexity in this matter, and it would be best for them not to interfere, lest they complicate things further.

"What did you say? If you have the guts, say it again?" As soon as Wen Xingyuan on the other end of the phone heard the name Qi Yan, he immediately jumped up and growled back.

She understands that you mean well for her. Enough, stop overthinking; at this moment, you still have the energy to worry about others, you should think more about your fiancé, me

I now understand why you have waited so long without any results. Suddenly recalling Han Nuo's contemplative expression and Qi Yan's barely concealed sorrow, I couldn't help but start to worry for Wen Xingyuan. No wonder I heard Ziliang say that Wen Laoda had never furrowed his brow for any woman or put in any effort; it seems he has finally fallen.

"Alright then, drive slowly on your way back, and don't stay out too late with your friends tomorrow night." Mother Ji was very open-minded, understanding that young people today want to gather with their close friends the night before getting married, yet she did not forget to give her advice. After all, the day after tomorrow is the big day, and it would not be good if the groom were still hungover.

"Alright, what are you talking about? Just wait for me, I will arrive tomorrow." Wen Xingyuan smiled wryly on the other end of the phone, clearly detecting the self-reproach in Tang Yifan's tone, and instructed him to prepare to hang up. Who could be blamed for this? It was still because he was too "self-centered." As for the matter concerning Qi Yan, apart from Zhang Ziliang, had he ever mentioned it to anyone else? Moreover, for her, how could she be easily swayed by a few "kind words"?

Tang Yifan called to say he was going to be "dizzy". Why didn't he even ask the bride's name? Coincidentally, Qi Yan happened to return home at this time to attend a friend's wedding, and he still hadn't realized it. How could he be so slow to react? No wonder Qi Yan looks down on him. Damn, he feels awkward just looking at himself.

"It is Ji Ruoning." Tang Yifan irritably ran his fingers through his hair, suddenly overwhelmed by guilt. As a close friend, he had indeed neglected Wen Xingyuan in many ways; otherwise, he would not have been so uninformed about his matters after returning to the country. After a moment of hesitation, he finally spoke up to apologize, his tone genuinely sincere, "I’m sorry, Xingyuan. After a few phone calls with Ziliang, I didn’t even realize you were pursuing Ruoning’s good friend. Otherwise, given our friendship, I should have at least said a few good words."

Matters of the heart are the most difficult for others to intervene in, even for good friends. Listen to me, if Yan Yan does not bring it up herself, you should not say too much; let her handle it on her own. Tang Yifan's smile faded, and his expression became a bit more serious.

Why

For you, I have gone to great lengths to gain access, yet coming to the company is more difficult than having you walk on a bed of knives, isn't it

"You should be grateful for my harassment, otherwise I guarantee you will regret it for a lifetime." Tang Yifan raised an eyebrow, "First, tell me which valley you are in? Will you be able to return by tomorrow?"

"Going far?" Tang Yifan urgently called to a halt before hanging up the phone

"Unfortunately, it is indeed me." Tang Yifan, upon hearing his deep voice, involuntarily thought of the faint melancholy in Qi Yan's eyes. It seems that his brother's journey in love will be quite arduous. Well, for that young man's lifelong happiness, he is willing to take the plunge; he must act as a matchmaker.

Is there anything else?

"You knew about Han Nuo a long time ago, didn't you?" he asked tentatively, yet he already had the answer in his heart

This reason left Tang Yifan both amused and exasperated, as he unceremoniously pulled her into his embrace, lowered his head, and kissed her fiercely, only parting from her lips when they were both slightly breathless, yet still keeping her encircled in his arms

"You are ruthless. Let me tell you, Old Man Wen, if I don't see the check tomorrow morning, just wait for me to introduce Qi Yan to other handsome guys as their wife," Tang Yifan gritted his teeth

"Why?" He chuckled self-deprecatingly on the other end of the phone, "I also want to know why."

Go ahead. Good night, Auntie. Please send my regards to Uncle. I will take my leave now. After politely bidding farewell to Mama Ji and seeing her nod with a smile, Tang Yifan turned and got into the car

If I were to say I am your girlfriend, I wonder how many questions she would ask? Perhaps I would have to endure countless strange looks, and I certainly do not want that. "You are a dangerous person; it is best to keep your distance," Ruo Ning said, glaring at him somewhat unhappily. Who does not know that the renowned Tang Yifan is the diamond boss in the hearts of all the female employees in the company? Whenever anyone sees him, they act like shy little women, those who know are afraid of being stunned, and those who do not think that each of them is his little lover. She does not want to become an object of their admiration; it makes her uncomfortable just thinking about it. It is better to not see than to see.

"What’s wrong? Are you still upset about tonight?" Tang Yifan turned to glance at her and reached out to touch her cheek

Wen Xingyuan remained silent, and the two held the phone without speaking for a long time

The person on the other end of the phone chuckled softly, "Go ahead, what brings you to disturb me with a call at this late hour?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yifan was surprised, "You don't know the reason for their breakup?"

If Ning shook her head, "Yan Yan is unwilling to mention it, and Han Nuo only said it was to make her feel better." She reached out to roll down the car window, letting the night breeze brush against her cheeks, and heard her softly say: "How can he say that? Doesn't he know that Yan Yan sees him as her happiness? Without him, how could she possibly be happy..."
