Chapter 167: She Wants to Leave

Han Yangting's eye sockets also turned red, and he nodded.

He admitted it.

Bai Shuruo asked while crying, "Then why are you still with me?"

Han Yangting couldn't speak for a moment; he pointed to his throat, then took a pen from the head of the bed and said, "Ruoruo, I will explain it to you properly tomorrow, okay?"

Bai Shuruo shook her head: "There is nothing to explain! Han Yangting, you shouldn't have married me, you shouldn't have lied to me..."

Regardless of whether this was a business rule, and regardless of whether he was intentional or unintentional, the result was the same; between them lay the death of her father, and the pain of Aunt Fen and the others.

And now that they had spoken openly, she had no way to face their marriage with composure anymore.

She opened her bag, placed several bank cards in front of him, took a deep breath, and cried again: "Han Yangting, over these days, I transferred some money from your company's account. All your money is here. You can be heartless, but I cannot be unrighteous. I won't take a single cent of your money; I am returning it all to you."

"Ruoruo..." Han Yangting struggled to get up, wanting to hug her.

But she shouted: "Don't come over, and don't touch me!"

Seeing her emotional state, he had no choice but to sit still and not touch her.

Perhaps once her emotions calmed down, they could communicate properly.

After Bai Shuruo put the cards down, she said: "Brother Han, we both need to calm down and think carefully about how to walk the path ahead. You are still ill, so get some good rest first."

Bai Shuruo turned and left the room.

Han Yangting sat on the hospital bed, the discomfort in his throat making him unable to say a single word.

He still had a high fever, he swayed when he walked, and his whole body ached.

Added to that was the scene Bai Shuruo had just caused, and he felt even more miserable all over.

She was right; perhaps everyone needed to calm down.

He also needed to organize his words and think about how to explain it to her.

He married her not out of guilt; he truly loved her.

The reason he hid the matter of her father was because he was afraid that if she knew, she wouldn't be willing to marry him.

The night was very deep.

Meng Ze was lying in bed when he heard someone knocking on the door outside.

It was so late, who could it be?

He shouted irritably: "Who is it? It's the middle of the night, I don't fix appliances now."

Bai Shuruo's voice came from outside: "It's me."

Meng Ze hurriedly threw on some clothes and went out to open the door.

In the cold night, Bai Shuruo stood shivering under the streetlamp, like a lost little kitten.

"Why did you come?" Meng Ze hurriedly called her inside.

It was also Bai Shuruo's first time entering Meng Ze's home. Seeing the environment of this home, she said: "Looking at your bare walls, if I wanted to drink a cup of hot water, I wonder if you have any here?"

"I have to boil it," Meng Ze said. "I'll go boil some now."

"No need," Bai Shuruo said. "Mineral water is fine too."

Meng Ze said: "Then I'll use mineral water to boil a cup of hot water for you."

After a while, the hot water was handed into Bai Shuruo's hands.

Bai Shuruo took the hot water and didn't speak, just shed tears.

Meng Ze couldn't help but ask: "Is it that President Han knows what you did?"

She nodded.

"Is he angry?"

"No," Bai Shuruo said. "He isn't angry; he even knew from the very beginning, but he didn't say anything, just watched us act."

"Is that so..." Meng Ze said. "This man is quite interesting. I have to say, he is very magnanimous; he's a real man."

Bai Shuruo said: "I feel like we are just a joke in front of him; we can't defeat him at all."

"Does that even need to be said?" Meng Ze said. "From the very beginning, I told you to communicate with him properly; don't go to this step unless it's a last resort."

Bai Shuruo said: "I don't want to see him again now."

"Why? I think you are even now; he did you wrong, and you did something that did him wrong. It's all very damaging to the relationship. Unless you really don't want to live with him anymore, otherwise, you should stop and live a good life in the future."

Bai Shuruo smiled bitterly: "Live a good life? Can he and I still live a good life?"

"Why not? Didn't he forgive you?"

"He forgave me? That was him trying to atone for his sins," Bai Shuruo said. "If I continue to live with him, that would be letting down my father."

"Then what do you plan to do? Divorce?" Meng Ze asked.

Bai Shuruo held the warm water cup, but still couldn't help but shiver.

After a while, she said: "I want to leave for a period of time and think carefully about the relationship between him and me."

"Leave Beishi? Then where are you going?"

"I don't know." She lowered her head and buried it in her palms.

Meng Ze looked at the currently agonizingly painful Bai Shuruo; he knew the conflict in her heart.

Although this woman looked weak, her heart was very stubborn. Once she decided on something, she would definitely follow it to the end, and she also loved to get stuck in a dead end.

Ever since she found out that Han Yangting had harmed her father back then, there had been a knot in her heart. If she continued to be with Han Yangting, she would feel like she was a sinner.

This wasn't about love or lack thereof, but that this matter made her unable to let go.

If she continued to be with Han Yangting, she would think of how her father had passed away so tragically.

In the long run, she would still become depressed.

After a while, Bai Shuruo raised her head again and said: "Meng Ze, if I don't work at the company anymore, then no one will be looking out for you in the future. Take care of yourself."

Meng Ze said, "The key is where do you want to go? I can go with you."

"You're coming with me?" Bai Shuruo asked.

"It's not my first time jumping ship, and besides, I've gotten used to you being my boss over these years, so wherever you go, I'll follow. Besides, I don't want to stay in Beishi anymore; there's nothing here worth lingering over. Drifting around the world is more suitable for someone like me."

What Meng Ze wanted to say was that by following her, he could prevent her from doing anything foolish, and he could protect her along the way.

As for her and Han Yangting's affairs, it had nothing to do with him, and whether Han Yangting was heartbroken or not had nothing to do with him either.

Bai Shuruo actually already had an idea in her mind when she left the house.

She would leave Han Yangting for a period of time to properly consider her relationship with him.

Once she had made up her mind, she would return to have a final reckoning with him.

Bai Shuruo said, "I brought some money out with me; I'm thinking of going to another place to start a small business."

Meng Ze said, "That works, then I'll go with you."

Early morning.

Han Yangting had barely slept at all this night.

Finally, it was early morning, and a servant came in to take his temperature; he asked, "Where is the Young Mistress?"

"I don't know. Sir, are you looking for the Mistress? Do you need me to go find her and bring her over?"

Han Yangting said, "No need, I will go find her."

His temperature had dropped a little, but his whole body still ached, and walking was a struggle.

Yet he still braced his body and swayed as he went to look for her.

The third floor of this Castle belonged to them; if she wasn't sleeping in their room, then she might be sleeping in the guest room next door.

However, there was no sign of her in the guest room next door.

He braced himself again and went downstairs.

Ye Caiyue was downstairs, and seeing Han Yangting come down, she couldn't help but ask, "Yangting, why did you come down? Didn't you say you weren't feeling well?"

"Where is Ruoruo?" Han Yangting asked.

"Ruoruo? Isn't she with you? I didn't see her come downstairs. Did she get up?"

Han Yangting suddenly had an ominous premonition; he endured the pain in his body, clutched his chest, and said with difficulty, "Mom, go find Ruoruo."
