It turns out that love is just pretending

2024-12-22 17:14:07

On the day he and Baiyu received the certificate, his first love came back. Because of her, I was thrown into the Civil Affairs Bureau. He said it was dark and dangerous, so he took his first love back to our wedding room. I was forced to leave, but I actually encountered a violent criminal. After a narrow escape from death, I finally made up my mind to leave him. But he cried and begged me to stay. I laughed: "Do you think I would want a rotten cucumber like you who has never been clean?" 1. Bai Wanfu returned to China, which happened to be the day when Bai Yu and I received our certificates.

On the day he and Baiyu received the certificate, his first love came back.

I was forced to leave, but I actually encountered a violent criminal.

1.

Bai Wanfu returned to China, and it happened to be the day that Bai Yu and I received our certificates.

In what way is it more coincidental?

It was the moment we just finished signing the marriage application and handed it over to the staff.

Baiyu's phone rang.

He, who had always been reserved and calm, had a rare expression of confusion on his face, and his hand holding the pen could not help but tremble.

After the call was connected, his tone was excited but gentle.

When I was stunned, I seemed to see him when he was a teenager.

"Don't cry, it's too late..."

"Just stay at the airport and I'll pick you up."

As soon as he hung up, he immediately reached out to the staff,

"Give me your ID first, no more."

From beginning to end, he didn't even give me the slightest glance.

Under the complicated expressions of others, I held his hand.

"Baiyu, please get the certificate first, okay?"

He seemed to have just noticed my presence, and his back instantly stiffened.

Perhaps the pleading in my eyes was too obvious, but he opened his mouth and didn't speak for a long time.

I straightened up my smile and prepared to speak to let the applicant continue.

But he suddenly stood up, took the certificate in his hand and left without looking back.

There was an uproar at the scene, and on impulse, I stopped the man who was about to get in the car.

"She's back."

The doubts that were about to escape his lips seemed to be stuck in his throat.

Just four words, he said them briskly, but I felt like I was facing an abyss.

"Bai Wanfu?"

He remained silent, with obvious gentleness in his lowered eyes.

I smiled sadly,

"Are you going to leave me now for a woman who abandoned you?"

"Since you haven't let her go yet, why did you propose marriage?"

"Do you know how many years I have been waiting for you? Five years! Even an iceberg could melt!"

The words started to get hysterical, but he could only feel undisguised boredom.

The hot blood flowing in the chest became colder as time went by.

But I was still unwilling, lowered my head and said softly,

"If you go find her, then we'll break up."

Baiyu calmed down instead, bent down and lifted my chin.

The raised corners of his lips couldn't suppress the ferocity in his eyes, and then he vigorously shook off my hand holding the car door.

"Breaking up? In what capacity did you mention it to me?"

"Sang Ning, I never admitted that you are my girlfriend. It's you who keeps pestering me!"

The exhaust fumes from the Bentley rolled up the hem of my red skirt, and I didn't recover until his shadow was no longer in my sight.

I forgot, threats only work for people who care about you.

But Baiyu never paid attention to me.

Looking up at the scorching sun, I felt tears streaming down my face.

I thought to myself, why is the midsummer sunshine so cold?

2.

The warmth of this morning is still fresh in my mind.

As soon as I woke up, he made breakfast and fried my favorite poached eggs.

When I was putting on makeup, he was like a golden retriever, clinging to me and not letting me go.

"I finally want to marry you home..."

Even the ID was counted three times before he solemnly put it in his pocket and sealed it.

That's why it was so difficult for me to accept being abandoned by him at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

I have to believe that love can really be faked.

During the five years that I stayed with Bai Yu, I rebelled against my family and friends who loved me, forgot about my life preferences, and accepted his good and bad temper...

He is still as high-spirited as before, but I am covered in bruises.

Fatigue suddenly surged through my body, and I knew we were almost at the end.

After sitting outside for a long time, I slowly walked home. As soon as I entered the door, Tangyuan rubbed me and meowed non-stop.

I couldn't help the tears in my eyes and choked with sobs as I spoke,

"Tang Yuan, you are the only one who has never changed."

I knelt down and held it in my arms. It humped toward me a few times out of habit.

The haze lifted a little, and I kept stroking its soft fur to absorb the warmth.

Not long after, the door rang and his footsteps stopped at the door. Baiyu didn't turn on the light immediately.

"Nonsense! Why are you a girl staying in a hotel this late at night?"

After touching the glutinous rice ball head with my hand for a moment, I looked up at the blurry figure.

Baiyu's tone softened a lot, and his words unconsciously brought some comfort.

"This is a house I bought with full payment, and whoever I want can live in it."

"Well, she's not that stingy and will agree."

As he said that, he turned on the light, and his eyes met mine, and his doting smile froze on his face.

Very glaring.

"Have you disturbed your world?"

Hanging up the phone with his backhand, he took two panicked steps towards me, ready to explain something.

He suddenly stopped walking and stopped where he was.

"Didn't you say we should sever ties? You really can't stay away from me."

Bitterness spread throughout the body, and the numb heart began to ache again.

No words came out when he opened his mouth, and the tears couldn't stop flowing.

Upon seeing this, Bai Yu quickly walked to my side, hurriedly hugged me in his arms and comforted me.

"Don't be angry. How about paying for your car?"

"I asked Wan Fu to stay here. After all, it's not safe for a girl to be out at night."

"By the way, you put the dumpling in the cage and put it outside the door. She is allergic to animal hair."

Never leave Bai Wanfu!

He even threw my cat out because of her. I pushed him angrily.

"Tangyuan is timid, and besides, it has just been cured after a cat-related infection, how can you bear it!"

He was staggered by my push. He was in disbelief and also felt warm and angry.

"Will you freeze to death on such a hot day? This is the house I bought. If you want to do it, just do it. If you don't, just get out!"

The memory of the humble and polite young man disappeared in this moment.

Without looking at him again, I picked up the cage and put the glutinous rice balls in it, turned around and walked out the door.

Bai Yu thought I was swallowing my anger like before and still saying good things about Bai Wanfu,

"You haven't met her before. Wan Fu is very gentle and sensible. With your temperament, she should get along well with her."

The depression in my heart was blocked, and I turned around to answer the conversation with an expressionless face.

"I'm not interested in the drama of wives and concubines living in the same house, serving men."

Before I could take another step forward, Bai Yu squeezed my hand that was injured by him just this afternoon.

I was in pain and couldn't get away, and Tangyuan growled uneasily in the cage.

His brows were furrowed, his eyes were cold and ruthless, and his words were filled with sharp sarcasm.

"Don't think Wan Fu is so dirty, she's not as scheming as you! If you can, don't rush to lick me. It's very difficult to deal with."

I pulled out my hand hard, my voice soft but firm,

"No, Baiyu, we're done here."

Ignoring the huge sound of glass breaking behind me, I decisively left.

3.

The night is very beautiful tonight, and the dim light shines on my wrinkled red dress, which makes it particularly scary.

There is a demolition area outside the villa area, which has become somewhat desolate in recent months.

The online ride-hailing driver hadn't arrived yet, so I followed the route and walked slowly out, taking a moment to calm down.

My phone vibrated suddenly. I picked it up and saw that it was the monitoring software installed on Tangyuan to remind me that someone had invaded.

Two figures suddenly burst into view, and before they had time to exit, a woman's clear exclamation came from the earphones,

"Did Ning Ning decorate it? I also like this style very much!"

The woman with long hair and a long goose-yellow skirt naturally put her hand on the arm of the person next to her, and her words suddenly turned to uneasiness and guilt.

"Ayu, I ruined the day for you to receive your certificate. But after seeing the message you sent me, I'm really afraid that you won't want me!"

boom!

The sounds around me suddenly disappeared, and I froze in place, unable to move an inch.

That's it, that's it.

Why was Bai Wanfu able to come back on this day just in time, and why Baiyu had to wait until the afternoon before setting off.

What am I? The whetstone of their love?

In the video, Bai Yu caresses the sobbing woman in his arms, tenderly and affectionately.

"It's none of your business, it's just that I don't want to get married, and she and I are not the same kind of people."

It’s not that I have no self-esteem, nor am I masochistic.

He was the one who approached me first and I said I was like the sun. He was the one who begged me not to leave when I gave up. He was the one who said that our relationship is always for the purpose of getting married!

After years of hard work, Bai Yu actually used words to comfort his lover, and I felt chills all over.

As a result, I failed to notice that something was wrong with the environment in the first place.

Until Tangyuan, who had always been timid and docile, let out an uneasy warning cry.

Only then did I realize that there was a shadow slowly following me behind me.

Looking at the dark, deserted streets, I couldn't help but feel panicked.

Subconsciously, I sent a distress message to Baiyu.

"Help, I'm in the demolition zone and someone is following me!"

My palms were already sweating, my legs were shaking involuntarily, and I quickened my pace.

As soon as I came to my senses and was about to call the driver, someone pulled my hair back.

"Help!"

His hand pressed decisively on the call page.

I beg, whoever it is, please answer the phone!

"Smelly bitch!"

Before I could react, a body smelling strongly of alcohol and sweat hit me.

The moment I jumped into the air, I subconsciously protected my head, and then I was hit hard to the ground, and the cage let go and fell not far away.

"Ayu, why don't you answer Ningning's phone?"

Did that phone call go to Baiyu?

In panic, I kept comforting myself to stay awake and try to buy time for him to come.

After all, he is the closest to me, less than five minutes away.

As he struggled to sit up, he saw a tall, greasy middle-aged drunk.

My strong desire to live made me plead instinctively,

"Please, I can give you money. I'll give you all the money. Please let me go."

The man in front of me was approaching me in vain, and his mouth mixed with the fermented smell of food and wine was mocking me maliciously.

He grabbed my hair again and slammed me down the steps.

"Bitch, what's so great about being rich? I made you look down on me!"

My hand seemed to have been cut off by him, and I could no longer control my body in great pain.

"How dare you leave me and run away with someone else, spit out all your money!"

I couldn't make a sound, warm and sticky liquid flowed down, and my consciousness gradually dissipated.

Suddenly the weight on my body disappeared, and I struggled to see clearly ahead.

Baiyu? Has he come to save me?

"What kind of beast dares to bite me!"

The strength he had finally gathered was suddenly deflated when he saw the scene in front of him.

"No!"

The man held the dumpling high and smashed it against the cracked brick wall.

My glutinous rice balls made a sharp and piercing cry that I had never heard before.

In the blur of blood, I saw Tangyuan curled up in the garbage pile, motionless.

A familiar voice came from the earphones left behind, cold and cruel, carrying the current.

"She? I'm afraid she regretted it, so she made up an excuse."

"Don't worry, I'll be here later."

Tears fell silently, and I fell into despair.

4.

The violent impact on my head blurred my vision, and I collapsed on the cold ground unable to move.

"Without the beast, it's your turn next second."

The man bent down and crouched beside my ear, whispering in my ear with an evil and teasing smile.

Like the countdown of life.

My mind went blank, and I was still muttering subconsciously, begging him to let me go.

Until I was covered with heavy pressure and the wet air began to linger on my exposed skin, and I suddenly woke up.

After struggling, I was slapped a few more times. I forced my consciousness to explore the things around me.

Finally, I touched a cool and smooth hard object, which was a wine bottle.

Without any hesitation, I used all my strength to swing at the person above me.

"ah!"

The bottle broke and scattered glass shards hit my face.

At the same time, I suddenly pressed the remaining fragment against his neck and made a quick stroke.

Unfortunately it came to nothing.

The man pressed down again, grabbed my throat with both hands, and cursed violently,

"You bitch, I'll kill you!"

Under the dim light, I could clearly see half of his face covered in blood, and his bloodthirsty eyes.

A strong sense of suffocation surged up, and when consciousness gradually disappeared, a dazzling light came out.

As the heavy pressure on my neck disappeared, I gasped for fresh air, but my mind was still blank.

Time seemed to be stretched out, I couldn't hear the sounds around me, and I couldn't even feel the pain in my body.

When he fell into the arms of a stranger, he could vaguely feel the rapid rise and fall of his chest.

She grabbed his sleeves and pointed to the cat in the corner with a trembling finger.

"I saw it, I'll take you to the hospital right away."

I fainted.

5.

When I first graduated and joined the company, it was the most difficult year for Baiyu.

He refused family marriage, was decisively rejected by his father, and even raised an illegitimate son.

This incident directly delayed the company's listing. To make matters even worse, Bai Yu learned that his first love went abroad with Bai's mother's money.

Family, career and love all abandoned him.

During that time, the company could be said to be a hell on earth, with endless overtime work and plan changes, and drinking and socializing day after day.

And in that year, my initial admiration for him turned into love hidden in my heart.

So on New Year's Eve, he bent down and shouted to me amidst the cheers around him,

"Sang Ning, I seem to like you, let's give it a try."

I threw myself into his arms without hesitation.

When I woke up, what I saw when I opened my eyes was a slightly ghosted ceiling.

"Ningmei, are you awake?"

A strange elder sister came to the ward at some point. She said that the driver's brother saved me last night. She was his wife and came here specially to take care of me at night.

"We called the police for you. You should recuperate in the hospital now. That beast must not be spared lightly!"

As he said that, he carefully held my good right hand,

"Where is your family? Do you need me to inform them for you?"

I was stunned. My parents passed away two years ago. I thought Baiyu would be my family, but I didn’t expect it would be Abyss.

So I spoke hoarsely,

"My parents are both dead and I have no family. Sister Lin, can you help me find a caregiver?"

I don’t know if I’m trying to force someone into a difficult situation. Looking at Sister Lin’s hesitant look, I was about to take back my words, but I didn’t expect Sister Lin’s firm tone.

"Ningmei, what do you think of me? I'm strong enough to carry you up and down the stairs, and I work meticulously. I can pay you whatever you want."

I was afraid that I would think too much, so I hurriedly added,

"Don't think about repaying the favor yet. Just look at me as a person. If I don't have a professional aunt, I will definitely refuse."

After saying that, he felt annoyed again, scratching his hair and getting angry,

"It's not like repaying a favor, oh, how should I put it, it's just..."

I held Sister Lin’s hand with my backhand,

"I also want to ask you for help, but I'm afraid it will delay your original work. Sister Lin, thank you very much!"

In the darkest time of my life, I was willing to lend a helping hand to help a stranger like me again and again.

6.

When I was helped to the toilet, I saw my miserable state clearly in the mirror.

The entire back of his head was wrapped in gauze, his face, especially his throat, was heavily bruised, his left hand was wrapped in plaster, and his entire face was swollen and haggard.

"The ID cards are so beautiful. You can definitely recover if you take good care of yourself."

Sister Lin thought I was worried about being disfigured, but after experiencing near-death, I am only grateful to survive the disaster.

The person I thought I would never meet again suddenly appeared in front of me unexpectedly.

Bai Wanfu was probably not feeling well, so she sat sickly next to Bai Yu and acted coquettishly.

The man was smiling and lowering his head to comfort her, making Bai Wanfu smile.

"Wow, look at that couple, they are so loving."

I listened to the envy of the little girl next to me with an expressionless face, and my heart was as silent as dead water.

Sister Lin didn't notice my change. She pushed the wheelchair in an inconspicuous corner and hurried to register.

I don't know what Bai Wanfu said, but Bai Yu's expression suddenly turned cold, and the two even had a dispute about it.

It wasn't until the woman took Bai Yu's hand and shook it that he reluctantly took out his cell phone.

Then, my phone with the shattered screen rang.

Feelings only came to mind after my little lover reminded me. When Baiyu's eyebrows became more and more impatient, I answered the phone.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and no one spoke.

In the end, he lowered his posture and spoke indifferently,

"Sang Ning, have you had enough trouble?"

Seeing that I still didn't speak, he stood up angrily and let go of Bai Wanfu's hand.

"Can you not be unreasonable? I told you that Wanfu and I are just friends. I asked you to watch less short videos for a day. Now your whole mind is filled with love and love. It's really annoying."

Slow down my tone and try to speak clearly.

"I met a murderer in the demolition area last night and almost died. Do you believe it?"

There was a choke on the other end, Baiyu was silent for a moment and then taunted,

"I didn't answer the phone last night just to tell you to calm down. I didn't expect you to be so arrogant today. I already told you that I didn't do anything sorry for you. What else do you want?"

Seeing this, Bai Wanfu frowned and patted him on the back, vaguely seeming to remind him not to quarrel.

I suddenly remembered that two years ago, my father was seriously ill in bed, and I rushed back to take care of him.

Baiyu has always been with me, using all his connections to find experts at home and abroad, and also taking care of my dad personally.

My dad was also moved by his behavior. He was worried about the huge disparity in family background at first, but finally accepted him as his son-in-law.

After he passed away, I still proposed to break up, until Baiyu got drunk and hugged me and cried,

"Please don't leave me. I will do whatever you say from now on. If you are unhappy, I will accompany you. If you are angry, I will admit my mistake."

Later he said,

"Ning Ning, am I terrible? Why don't all of you want me?"

I had mixed feelings at that moment, and I couldn't bear to leave. I even thought that he would be another family member equal to my parents.

So when I heard him talk about deliberately not answering the phone, I tightened my grip on the phone. I really sympathized with the man for his unlucky life.

7.

In fact, his words were undoubtedly not out of guilt, but he didn't want to admit it, so he put all the blame on me first.

Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, he suddenly laughed and said,

"Okay, I know you were angry because you didn't get the certificate yesterday. Wait until I come back to introduce you to Wan Fu. It's really not her problem."

He paused,

"Next time, don't tell such a clumsy lie. If you really encounter a murderer, can you still escape with your life? You..."

Before I finished speaking, my name suddenly sounded on the radio.

"Please Sang Ning go to Clinic No. 2 for treatment."
