Cen Yeming hurriedly explained, "It’s nothing else, I just purely miss you. Ruyi, this time I’ve made up my mind, no matter what difficulties we encounter, I want to marry you. If the family disagrees, then we’ll elope!"

Liu Ruyi looked at Cen Yeming. This guy, even though he’s in his thirties, is still the same as when she first met him.

Back then she was a little delinquent girl, witnessing those rich young masters of the Jing Circle for the first time.

Gentle and elegant, handsome and dashing.

Who doesn’t admire strength?

And in the entire Jing Circle, Cen Yeming was one of the outstanding ones, young and promising, with an exceptional presence.

She was willing to be Cen Yeming’s dog.

Elope...

If Cen Yeming had said such words a few months ago, she would have gone all out.

She had already given Cen Yeming two chances.

The first time, he talked about marriage, but let his wife come over and cause a scene, making her lose face.

The second time, he borrowed three billion, saying he would pay it back, but the repayment period was due last September, and now it’s close to March, six months overdue.

She retorted, "Can I still trust your promises? Do you know that to lend you three billion, the entire Ruyi Hall is now running on borrowed money?"

Cen Yeming hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Yes, yes, yes, it’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have delayed. You can hit me or scold me, I promise I won’t talk back."

Liu Ruyi just felt the world was changing too fast, so fast she couldn’t keep up.

Was it really just like Xiangnu said?

"Cen Yeming, I know you must need something from me. Return the three billion, and I’ll help you. I can lose with you, but I must win the last time."

Cen Yeming said, "Ruyi, I really don’t have anything, I just simply wanted to see you and talk to you..."

"Now that you’ve seen me and we’ve had dinner, don’t forget to pay!"

With that, Liu Ruyi turned and walked outside.

In fact, she was also holding back very hard. In Xiangnu’s words, she was just dead set on romance.

And Xiangnu heard this from Li Yang.

If it were her, when Cen Yeming said the second sentence, she would have leaned over.

But after knowing Cen Yeming had come, she called Xiangnu.

Xiangnu only gave her one request, don’t give him any chance before Cen Yeming states his purpose.

And Cen Yeming would definitely try to build a relationship and talk emotions...

The fact proved it was exactly as Xiangnu said.

Liu Ruyi had just voiced her true inner thoughts. She could lose but must win the last time.

As long as it’s within her capabilities, she could help Cen Yeming.

Just as she turned around, Cen Yeming immediately called after her, "Ruyi, I do have a little thing, but mainly I wanted to see you."

Liu Ruyi asked, "A little thing shouldn’t need me, right?"

Cen Yeming couldn’t handle a little thing?

"I want to find Li Yang. I know you’re pretty close to Li Yang..."

Liu Ruyi laughed, "Didn’t we use up my relationship with Li Yang last time? I helped you connect, advocated for you, in the end, what did you do? It’s bad enough you lied to me, but you also troubled Li Yang? Do you know how ashamed I was after Li Yang failed his class because of it? You personally ruined his life; how do you have the nerve to want to see Li Yang?"

Other matters, Liu Ruyi could help, that’s her feelings for Cen Yeming. Even after many setbacks, she still couldn’t fully let go.

But now still wanting to trouble Li Yang? On what basis?

Now she only wishes Li Yang would make more demands of her so she could feel a bit better.

Despite Li Yang seemingly indifferent to flunking, as Xiangnu analyzed, the cost Li Yang paid behind that small event couldn’t be measured by money.

Cen Yeming said bitterly, "Ruyi, this time, I really..."

"No more talk! I’m not helping with this!"

Liu Ruyi said, not wanting to hear Cen Yeming speak any further, left directly, her attitude firm.

No matter how Cen Yeming called from behind, she didn’t look back.

After returning to her room, she called Xiangnu.

Xiangnu seemed eager to know the result, he asked, "What does Cen Yeming want?"

"He wants to see Li Yang. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t trouble Li Yang. I’ve already refused."

Xiangnu then asked, "What about the money?"

"I don’t know, probably won’t return it, Cen Yeming didn’t say."

Xiangnu hurriedly said, "Are you stupid? Now that Cen Yeming needs something from you, why not take the opportunity to get the money back? We were willing to lend you money because we have a relationship, but we can’t lend you forever, that money is your only dependency for the rest of your life, who else can you rely on?"

"But..." Liu Ruyi hesitated.

Xiangnu got anxious, "You’re still reluctant, right? Cen Family’s life or death, what’s it got to do with you? The fact that they reached out to you means they have no other way. Soon Cen Yeming will come to you again with a thick face; just stand firm, get the money first, then help them by calling over Li Yang."

"But that would put Li Yang in a difficult position..."

"What’s the difficulty? Li Yang is actually a kind-hearted person, he’ll likely help you then anyway, but no matter what, get the money first, then I’ll tell you..."

Just then, Liu Ruyi heard a knock on the door.

"Boss, the guest from that previous room said he has something to discuss with you; he’s already at the door."

Xiangnu on the phone also heard it, "Go and tell him, let the Cen Family return the money they owe you, or else there’s nothing to discuss!"

...

"Let him wait for me in the box."

Liu Ruyi finally made up her mind.
