After returning home, Jian Rushi thought it over and over and decided to have a frank talk with Helian Ze.
“I need to work. I’ll starve to death if I don’t work.”
Helian Ze didn’t take her words seriously at all. He said lightly, “I will support you.”
With a solemn expression, Jian Rushi refused, “I don’t want to be your mistress.”
“So, let’s get married.”
On hearing this, Jian Rushi was stunned. When she came back to her senses, she immediately said, “Bigamy is against the law.”
Helian Ze felt puzzled. He stared blankly at her and said, “I’m not married yet. So I won’t be a bigamist. Three years ago, I wanted to marry you, but you ran away.”
Shocked, Jian Rushi opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
It seemed as if their conversation was a game, and they were game players trying to shock each other.
Helian Ze poured out his grievances, “At that time, you lacked confidence in our relationship. So I wanted to give you the feeling of safety by marrying you. During that time, I was busy preparing for the wedding. When everything was ready, unexpectedly my bride ran away.”
Jian Rushi couldn’t believe her ears. Shocked, she pointed at her own nose and asked, “You wanted to marry me? But I knew nothing about that!”
Helian Ze kept silent. At that time, his thinking was simple: he would get everything ready for her, and the only thing she had to do was to wear a beautiful wedding dress and become his bride on the wedding day.
She still couldn’t believe it. “But… I was your mistress for three years…”
Helian Ze’s face darkened. “Mistress? To be serious, I had a romance with you for three years in my view. You are my girlfriend.”
With a look of grievance, Jian Rushi said, “Jiang Xue had come to me at that time.”
Mr. Helian frowned and said lightly, “Jiang Xue has been in prison. She’s just a person with bad conduct. How could you believe her words?”
Jian Rushi shook her head. ” You are right. We shouldn’t play with people who have bad conduct.”
Mr. Helian was satisfied with her reply.
After the misunderstanding between them was cleared up, Jian Rushi was delirious with joy. ‘I was not his mistress; instead, I once had a romance with Mr. Helian, the president of a famous company, and we almost got married. What does all this mean? It means that I’m a winner,’ she thought to herself.
Helian Ze stood up, knelt down on one knee and took out a diamond ring he had prepared long ago. Then he held it in his hand for her to see and said solemnly, “Now our misunderstanding has been removed. Miss Jian, I want you for my wife, will you marry me?”
The ring was engraved with “hl” and “j”. She suddenly remembered that Jiang Xue had mentioned the ring when she had come to her three years ago.
So, the letter “j” meant “Jian Rushi” instead of “Jiang Xue”.
She was deeply moved, her eyes glistening with tears. Helian Ze smiled with satisfaction.
“Do you really want to marry me?” asked Jian Rushi.
“Yes,” Mr. Helian answered in a serious tone. “You once asked me what my dream was. Now I want to tell you, my dream is to be with you all my life.”
“Sorry, Mr. Helian. I love you, but we can’t get married.”
The smile on Helian Ze’s face instantly disappeared. ‘She doesn’t want to marry me? Then, whom does she want to marry? Her first love?’ he thought.
Jian Rushi refused his marriage proposal, but she did not dare to look into his eyes. After a pause, she summoned up her courage and said loudly, “I have made a promise with Tang Ge that we must get married on the same day.”
Helian Ze didn’t expect that Tang Ge would become a stumbling block to his marriage. He pressed his fingers to his throbbing temples and then took out his mobile phone to call Lu Ziming.
“Tang Ge is in A City now.” After saying that, he directly hung up the phone.
As a result, Tang Ge was haunted by Lu Ziming because she got in Helian Ze’s way. Although she was deeply troubled by Lu Ziming, she remained unmoved. No matter what he said, she kept silent with a sarcastic smile on her face. She didn’t believe him at all.
It bothered Helian Ze that Lu Ziming couldn’t persuade Tang Ge to marry him. So Helian Ze went to see Tang Ge and came straight to the point, “Jian Rushi is pregnant, but her core personality doesn’t know that yet. I plan to take her to the capital for treatment. But she will not return to the capital unless you go with her.”
Tang Ge was stunned by the news. For the sake of Jian Rushi’s health, Tang Ge agreed to return to the capital.
