Chapter 516 [Don't Lie to Yourself]
516
Lin Ruoxi's words seemed to be the past that he had kept dusty for too long, and too many thoughts that he didn't dare to touch, all began to rapidly ferment and swell.
"Shut up! Shut up!! How many times do I tell you before you believe it, it's not what you think!!"
Yang Chen's head seemed to be exploding. The pain he hadn't experienced for a long time made his nerves fall into a frenzy, and the area around the sun began to throb!
Yang Chen didn't know why he was angry, why he yelled at Lin Ruoxi uncontrollably, he didn't want to, but he couldn't control it! !
Lin Ruoxi's gaze became clear and cold, as if she saw everything in her eyes, seeing clearly.
"Don't lie to yourself, Yang Chen, in fact, you have always understood in your heart that you will never be able to separate me from Seventeen. The reason why you think that I am different from her is just to convince yourself with a reason. You yourself, you don’t want yourself to be a weak person emotionally, you don’t want yourself to be unable to get out of that shadow, you try to make yourself a newborn, not a poor wretch who is depressed because of Shi Qi’s departure... I’m sorry for you To put it bluntly, it's the excuse you used to cover up your own guilt... It's you who is deceiving yourself, but in fact, everything between you and me started from Seventeen..."
Lin Ruoxi's words fell into Yang Chen's ears like ice rain, freezing his body.
"If it's like what you said, you can separate me from Seventeen, then Qiangwei, who has known you for a long time, why isn't it your wife? Don't you love her? Just because she is a gangster? Do you care? If you think about it, will she refuse? And Jingjing who went to the United States, can you really not see her love for you? They have been with you for a long time, and they are better than me, more suitable for you When your wife's woman... a woman like me who doesn't understand emotional matters at all, knows how to work all day long, disdains and ridicules you, is cold, and won't even let you in the room, but you want me to be Your wife... I've said so much, but in fact, everything is already very clear, isn't it!?
You never wanted to give up Shiqi, you were always by my side because of Shiqi! ! ! "
The body leaned softly against the railing, Yang Chen's complexion was pale, as if his soul had been sucked dry, and he seemed to have gone through a long protracted hunting battle.
Yang Chen stared blankly at the river in the distance, his eyes were dim, and he murmured: "Ruoxi, don't say it... Just pretend I'm begging you... I beg you, don't say it..."
Lin Ruoxi raised her head, wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand, and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I know it's heartless and cold-blooded to say that, I know you've done a lot for me too...I saw it , and some helped me behind the scenes. But I couldn’t help it just now... These words, these questions, I have been suppressing and hiding in the bottom of my heart, like a slow poison eroding my internal organs, I also it's painful.
Ever since Christine told me about her that day, I wanted to ask you several times, but I never dared to. I am also worried about the consequences. I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it, but fortunately, I am stronger than I think. I believe that you will not be defeated because of these words.
It may be because of the relationship abroad, there is not so much work to distract attention, and there is no family around, so there is more time for wild thoughts. What happened just now happened again today, all kinds of small reasons came together, and you asked me to ask you again, so I said everything I hadn't said all along... From now on, I won't say that about you again..."
Yang Chen remained silent, as if he didn't hear anything.
Lin Ruoxi bit her lips, and said: "The press conference is about to start, I'm going to sit back. If you don't want to participate, it's okay, I know you must be in a bad mood. And your friend came to you, there should be something What's the matter. You don't have to pay too much attention to what I say, just treat it as my grievance, don't we often quarrel and cold war, this time is the same, anyway... life is still going on as usual. "
After finishing speaking, Lin Ruoxi tidied up her appearance, turned around and walked back to her seat calmly.
When passing by Sauron, Sauron nodded respectfully, and Lin Ruoxi smiled politely at him.
Everyone present saw Lin Ruoxi walking back to her place, and they were discussing what happened. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Lin Ruoxi had cried before.
Brothers and sisters Stern and Alice were much quieter. Seeing Lin Ruoxi's expression, they just watched with concern and didn't speak.
Lin Ruoxi didn't care too much about other people's discussions and gazes, and quickly entered the working state, picked up the document and read it carefully.
At this time, the person in charge who ran away just now walked up to Lin Ruoxi with a flattering smile on his face, and asked in a low voice: "Miss Lin, may I please start the press conference?"
Lin Ruoxi was taken aback, wondering, "Why do you ask me, this shouldn't be decided by me, right?"
The person in charge laughed and said: "If you are not ready, we can wait for you. By the way, that Mr. Yang hasn't returned to his seat yet. Do you want to wait for him to come back before starting?" The person in charge said, looking at him in awe Yang Chen who was still standing on the shore.
Lin Ruoxi suddenly understood, and felt a little ridiculous. Everyone present was actually afraid of Yang Chen's mysterious identity, and gave Yang Chen and herself the right to make all decisions.
"You don't need to be so nervous, what happened just now is a personal grievance, don't affect the progress of Fashion Week," Lin Ruoxi persuaded.
The person in charge nodded immediately to express his understanding, "Miss Lin is really magnanimous. I hope you will show me your honor at the reception at noon. This is the first time we come to Fashion Week, and we must do our best to be hosts..."
Lin Ruoxi responded a few words casually, signaling for them to start quickly, she wasn't interested in receptions or anything like that.
However, she couldn't help but look at the back of the person standing by the river, the feeling in Lin Ruoxi's heart was filled with thousands of words, it was indescribably complicated...
But at this time, Yang Chen, who had been standing by the railing for a long time, finally came to his senses.
Yang Chen raised his left hand, and made a move with his fingers.
Sauron, who had been standing behind him, understood, and walked to Yang Chen's side.
Yang Chen sighed, and asked: "Sauron, I ask you a question, you answer me truthfully."
Sauron's expressionless scarred face remained unchanged, his mouth moved, "Your Majesty Pluto, I never tell lies."
"Very good." Yang Chen said, "Tell me, in your eyes, am I someone who will deceive myself to cover up my cowardice..."
There was a glint of light in Sauron's cloudy eyes, "Your Majesty Pluto, although I am your subordinate, in terms of age, your problem is as immature as your age."
"Huh?" Yang Chen couldn't help but smiled, "After you say that, it seems that the question I asked is stupid."
Sauron replied directly: "I think that deception and confession are just means. As long as you admit your own intentions, it is the performance of a strong man. The real strong man does not lie in his own strength or weakness, but in his own strength. Whether it can be used to face and work hard to solve problems in adversity."
Yang Chen squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and laughed at himself, "It seems that my question is really stupid... Yes, it doesn't matter whether I'm really cowardly or strong, as long as I face the problem, I can answer it. Just have a clear conscience."
Sauron didn't speak, but there was a smile in his eyes.
Although it can't be said that he put away all the troubles, Yang Chen pulled his heart back, and turned to Sauron, "He suddenly came to this kind of place to find me, shouldn't he just come to see me. You saw it too , if you show up, this scene will almost get out of control."
Sauron's expression became more serious, and he nodded, "There is indeed something important. I believe Your Excellency Pluto should have heard about it. The 'Secret Meeting of International Special Organizations' hosted by the French External Security Service will be held in Paris."
Yang Chen frowned, "I've heard of it, it seems to be dealing with a terrorist organization like 'God's Domain', and the leader is 'Aro'. I actually had meetings with people from this organization, and I was kidnapped when I first came to France. It’s the organization affiliated with that organization that did it.”
"That's right, I didn't expect that Your Excellency already had contact. But I came here specially to meet Your Excellency. Besides meeting Lord Persephone, there is one more thing I want to tell Your Excellency anxiously," Sauron said.
"What, it can't be that you already know, then Ah Luo is real or fake, right?" Yang Chen laughed.
Sauron shook his head, "Whether Ah Luo is true or not is nothing for us to care about, and it is beyond our ability to judge. What I want to tell Your Excellency Pluto is that the secret meeting that will start tomorrow night, apart from discussing how to find out Ah Luo In addition to the joint elimination of Luo and the realm of the gods, there is another matter that is closely related to your Excellency. It is about the ownership of an 'artifact'."
"Sacred Artifact?" Yang Chen was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Could you mean that it was the one lost by the previous Pluto, right? It's not an ordinary artifact. I fought with Ares a while ago Battle, the artifact possessed by the main god, its power is indeed astonishing. The Ares spear can freeze space. I believe that other artifacts of the main god must be powerful. If such a thing really appeared, I would not feel it not reach."
Sauron was slightly surprised, he didn't seem to know about the battle between Yang Chen and Ares, but he didn't ask too much, and continued to explain: "The 'artifact' is indeed not owned by the twelve main gods, but its Master, you have a great relationship with Your Majesty Pluto."
"Don't be a fool, who is it, what artifact?" Yang Chen asked helplessly.
"It's the weapon of Thanatos, the God of Death's sword," Sauron said.
Death Thanatos?
