Chapter 31: I Want to Hug You again

Book:Marriage in Corrosive Love Published:2024-5-1

There were too many obstacles between her and Mu Linxuan. They were like two hedgehogs puncturing each other even though they managed to live together with an effort.
Staggering along for a whole night, she went back to Rhine Town at dawn.
Shen Qingkong sighed with a relief.
Her certificates and back-up money were put in the small yard she rented. She could start a new life after getting them.
The only person she was sorry for was Beibei. She failed to make good on the promise. But she had no choice.
Shen Qingkong fought back her sadness, and opened the door of the yard with the key in a hidden place at the door. She heard something after she stepped into the yard.
Shen Qingkong felt numb on her scalp, “Has Mu Linxuan found this place?”
Chen Cheng walked out from the kitchen before she was running away.
Shen Qingkong got relieved immediately, and almost fell on the ground.
Seeing that Shen Qingkong was back, Chen Cheng was astonished a little. But he showed sincere smile immediately, “Hi, Qingkong. You must be tired. Sit and have a rest. I’ll get a cup of water for you.”
Shen Qingkong sat on the chair with the support of Chen Cheng. Seeing his joyful smile, Shen Qingkong felt so guilty.
She made him lose face and gave rise to great injury to him. She thought Chen Cheng must hate her very much. Unexpectedly, Chen Cheng did not blame her a little, but cared about her so much.
The sincere and ordinary face seemed handsome at this moment. Having known each other for many years, Shen Qingkong did not look at him carefully.
Chen Cheng was uneasy after being stared by Shen Qingkong. He said, “Qingkong, are you hungry? I’m cooking the breakfast. What about rice porridge?”
“No, thanks.” Shen Qingkong stopped him “I’m leaving with something.”
Chen Cheng did not move, showing a painful expression.
Shen Qingkong was guiltier. She agreed to marry him for revolt. In fact, she did not love him.
She really wanted to live a whole life with him in the small town.
But Mu Linxuan found her in the small town. He did not let her go. She would certainly lead to injury to Chen Cheng if she continued to contact with him.
That man never showed his mercy when he was cruel hearted.
She gritted her teeth, “I’m sorry.”
Chen Cheng shook his head, and showed a bitter smile, “I understand. I’m always having vain attempt.” He did not continue the topic, “You must be hungry. Just have some eggs. It will not cost you a lot of time.”
By saying so, he gave Shen Qingkong no opportunity to refuse, and took two boiled eggs from the kitchen and delivered them to Shen Qingkong.
In fact, Shen Qingkong had nothing since last morning, and she was really hungry. She took the two eggs after saying thank you.
When she ate the eggs, Chen Cheng put something she needed into a backpack and delivered it to Shen Qingkong. Seeing her off at the door, he said, “Qingkong, I will not ask who were you before or where will you go now. But please regard me as a friend, and remind me occasionally.”
“Ok, I will. Thank you.”
“Shen Qingkong!”
At the moment Shen Qingkong turned around, she was hugged into arms. A man’s voice with spasmodic sobs came from the top of her head, “I want to hug you, just once.”
He hugged in a restrained way, as if she was hugging a precious treasure in a careful way.
Shen Qingkong felt sad at that moment. She did not push him way although she did not like getting close with a man. In her opinion, she owed Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng loosened his grips, and retreated back to keep distance with her, “Go! Just go!”
Shen Qingkong did not say see you again, because she knew that they would not see each other again. She turned around without hesitation, but kept stiff before taking a step.
A black Maybach stopped at the street corner. The car window fell down, and the man in it showed his ferocious smile.
