My Groom Ran Away Chapter 12.2

Cheng Yuelin continued to look righteous and uncrossed his arms. He slouched back into his seat and slowly rubbed his fingertips.

“I was living alone before. Why would I have to close the door?”

Before she could retort back, he immediately continued, “Even if I did not close the door, it cannot be the reason for you breaking into my room and seeing all of me.”

Ruan Zhiyin: “...”

Seeing that he was unwilling to listen to excuses, Ruan Zhiyin could not help but retort, “Before I went in, I called your name and even knocked on the door a few times. Why did you not reply?”

“Oh, did not hear it.”

The man’s voice was calm.

After speaking, he noticed Ruan Zhiyin was staring at him in disbelief. He lazily continued, “What, the soundproofing is good in the master bathroom. Any problems?”

Ruan Zhiyin was annoyed, but she had to admit that it was him who had suffered a loss. She sighed and said, “No, I’ll take the blame for this. I apologize.”

“What? Just an apology?”

Ruan Zhiyin pursed her lips and furrowed her brows ever so slightly. “Well, what else then? I had only inadvertently taken a glance.”

“Ruan Zhiyin, you did not only look.” Cheng Yuelin lazily said as he looked at her. His voice trailed off and continued. “Your hand, as well... touched me."

Touched him? If you did not count her accidentally bumping into him, she had only held his arm. Does this also count as touching him?

Ruan Zhiyin suddenly felt her head began to hurt. She did not know whether it was because of anger or if she had waited too long before she dried her hair.

However, she knew they could not continue with this discussion. If they continued, then the result would be: He is an innocent person, who had somehow ended up in an ambiguous situation with her.

So she could only use a peacekeeper’s attitude to ask again, “Then what do you want?"

Cheng Yuelin laughed and slowly stood up.

His voice was light and breezy as he left a request. “The sandwich from last time wasn’t bad. A week of breakfast can cover this debt."

Now that his purpose was achieved, he dusted off his clothes and left.

Ruan Zhiyin was left in the living room and at this moment, she almost gave him the finger behind his back.

"Can you guys even imagine his attitude?"

Ruan Zhiyin had honestly gotten angry and when she returned to her bedroom, she immediately called her friends on speakerphone.

Thinking back about Cheng Yuelin’s amazing appearance, Ruan Zhiyin, who couldn’t move due to a face mask, was still able to flick a brow——

"It was such a shame that I thought he had improved a lot. I was wrong. Cheng Yuelin's attitude just now was exactly the same as when we were in senior high."

Gu Linlang did not really know Cheng Yuelin during senior high, but she understood Ruan Zhiyin’s personality well. Everyone knew she was gentle and quiet.

She was very curious about the person who could make Ruan Zhiyin this angry and continued to ask, “Oh, then what was he like in senior high?”

Ye Yanchu’s voice came through clearly. “Hahaha, I can totally see it. Yinyin described him well. He’s an extremely arrogant rooster!”

After her words fell, the three people in the voice call all suddenly started laughing.

Thinking of what Ye Yanchu just said, Ruan Zhiyin’s mood improved by a few degrees.

After a few simple words, she hung up the call and fell into a deep sleep.

In the dreams, the arrogant rooster lowered his head and came to her to sulk.

The next day, Ruan Zhiyin woke up early as usual.

Although she was infuriated by Cheng Yuelin’s attitude, his request was not particularly harsh.

She already had the habit of making her own breakfast, so it was not difficult to make another portion.

When Ruan Zhiyin first went to study abroad, she was not used to eating western meals. At that time, she made not only breakfast, she would even make Chinese food on the weekends to satisfy her cravings.

At that time, her roommate was a Chinese-Japanese girl and she would always praise Ruan Zhiyin’s cooking like her mother’s, which would always make her laugh.

There were no maids in this large villa and when Ruan Zhiyin first moved in, the kitchen seemed to have never been used. All the kitchen utensils and appliances were all new and neatly arranged.

She guessed that Cheng Yuelin had spent most of his time living at the company previously, otherwise Lin Heng’s top floor facilities would not have been that complete.

Ruan Zhiyin cut some green onions and poached an egg. Then she heated some oil and soy sauce as a base and made two bowls of Yang Chun noodles.

When she returned to the dining room, Cheng Yuelin was dressed in his usual suit and was already calmly sitting in front of the table.

Ruan Zhiyin carried the bowl of noodles over and placed one bowl in front of him. She quietly thought that this would be her good deed of the day.

But she did not expect that Cheng Yuelin would be this difficult to serve.

Looking at the bowl of noodles in front of him, the man’s straight eyebrows furrowed as he fussily said, “Hey, why is it noodles? Can I pack it up?”

Ruan Zhiyin simply sat and froze as she held her chopsticks.

Looking at his confused expression, she smirked and said, “You could. But before you reach the company, the noodles would congeal into a lump.”

Who cares whether he would eat it or not? At least she made it already.

Hearing her words, Cheng Yuelin gave it a serious thought. He looked at her carefully for a moment before he finally picked up the chopsticks and began eating.

The noodles were light and springy, and the soup was fragrant. Even the poached egg had a runny yolk.

Within a few moments, the man had finished all the noodles and he had even... drank all the soup.

Seeing him eating eagerly, Ruan Zhiyin felt he gave her enough respect so she would not be too hard on him. She could not help but slightly lift the corners of her mouth.

Then she suddenly thought of something and said, “Oh yeah, my car was under maintenance. Can you ask the driver to give me a ride?"

She did not want to delay his work, so they would drop him off first, and then she could ask the driver to drop her off along the way.

Ruan Zhiyin felt that this request was not too excessive.

However, Cheng Yuelin just leaned back with his arms crossed as he stared at her. His eyes were filled with a mischievous glint. “Ruan Yingying, will the arrogant rooster be kind-hearted enough to send you to work?”

Hearing his words, the hand Ruan Zhiyin was using to hold the bowl froze. She looked up in surprise.

The man’s voice was lazy as he continued, “Oh, I forgot to tell you. The master bedroom’s soundproofing is not bad. But the second bedroom’s soundproofing——”

“Isn’t that great."
