Push Me Away When I Come, Don't Hold Me Back When I Leave - Chapter 136

Chapter 136: The Threat from Luo Qingxuan

***

“How is that possible, little princess, are you still confused from sleep? The gap between our social status is so large, how could you possibly have known me before?” Xia Ruoming shook her head, quickly denying Jiang Ruhua’s words.

Xia Ruoming truly had a once-bitten-twice-shy attitude toward Jiang Ruhua. Although her heart was mostly filled with guilt towards Jiang Ruhua, no one could accept experiencing such a dramatic fall from the heights of the galaxy to the depths of the ocean twice. Even if Jiang Ruhua really remembered things from the previous life, she would still keep her distance.

She would rather believe Xu Fengwu could change than believe Jiang Ruhua would change.

Many of Xu Fengwu’s traits were developed through spoiling, but Jiang Ruhua’s were truly innate.

The most frightening episode!

“Oh, maybe I was overthinking it, it just felt somewhat familiar,” Jiang Ruhua raised her coffee cup and took another sip.

But Jiang Ruhua didn’t believe Xia Ruoming’s words in her heart. She clearly caught that flash of panic on Xia Ruoming’s face, which meant that even if Xia Ruoming didn’t know exactly what had happened, she at least knew something.

Actually, before asking the question, Jiang Ruhua hadn’t held much hope. She had originally thought those things were futures she had foreseen, but Xia Ruoming’s reaction surprised her as well.

Moreover, Xia Ruoming knew her birthday, knew her preferences, many things she had never told others about, Xia Ruoming seemed to know them like the back of her hand.

Could it be that those weren’t predictions of the future, but things that had actually happened?

Then… if these things really happened before, why would she avoid her? If these were memories, she clearly saw in them that Xia Ruoming still cared about her even until her death.

If fate really had turned back time once, Xia Ruoming shouldn’t be acting this way, right?

Ye Han, watching Jiang Ruhua’s seemingly strange expression, suddenly understood that Jiang Ruhua and Xia Ruoming might both be concealing something. Although they both spoke words of denial, some things between them seemed to be already mutually understood.

“Senior, I need to prepare to close up, it’s getting late,” Luo Qingxuan, who had calmed down, walked out from the break room and said to Xia Ruoming. She had told Xia Ruoming before that until they hired suitable staff, the coffee shop could only stay open until 8 under her management, as she needed to go home to handle her own affairs, and Chu Suhe couldn’t stay in the shop alone.

“Alright, Qingxuan, go pack up your things, I’ll leave soon,” Xia Ruoming smiled as she said to Luo Qingxuan.

“Hey! Xia Ruoming, I’ve barely just sat down, why are you leaving already?” Jiang Ruhua, hearing Xia Ruoming’s response, said somewhat dissatisfied.

“Look, little princess, I didn’t invite you here, you asked where I was and came yourself,” Xia Ruoming shrugged helplessly. “Not everyone is like you, able to freely dispose of all their time every day. Little princess should be more considerate of others. Though I know, even if I say this, little princess won’t listen anyway.”

Jiang Ruhua hadn’t taken Xia Ruoming’s words to heart at first, but after hearing the latter half of what Xia Ruoming said, which was nearly sarcastic, she inexplicably felt a competitive spirit rise up. What? Looking down on her?

“Then, Ruoming, it’s getting late, would you send me home?” Ye Han, watching Xia Ruoming chat directly with Jiang Ruhua, felt a surge of jealousy and clung to Xia Ruoming’s arm, speaking in an almost coquettish manner.

However, that kind of coquettishness only made Xia Ruoming feel a chill…

Pah! Green tea bitch! How many kilos of green tea did you drink to become this tea-like? Must be watching tea art courses at home every day! Be careful you won’t be able to sleep at night! — Jiang Ruhua cursed Ye Han in her heart. She was confident she wasn’t inferior to Ye Han; if she acted coquettishly like this with Xia Ruoming, Xia Ruoming definitely wouldn’t be able to refuse either, but she could never be as shameless as Ye Han.

“Fine, fine, Second Young Lady Ye, I’ll send you back, so could you stop clinging to me? It’s September now, it’s very hot,” Xia Ruoming said helplessly.

“Ruoming, I told you not to call me Second Young Lady Ye, you should call me Hanhan,” Ye Han pouted, her face full of dissatisfaction.

Of course, this dissatisfaction came from a sort of tsundere attitude.

“Alright, alright, let’s go,” Xia Ruoming shook her head. “Little princess, if you want to sit a while longer, then sit, but remember not to give Qingxuan trouble, she has plenty of things to deal with at home, don’t make things too difficult for others.”

After speaking, Xia Ruoming directly pulled along Ye Han, who had drunk coffee but was acting crazy like a drunk person, and left.

Jiang Ruhua watched the two leave, feeling a bit of regret in her heart. Letting that green tea Ye Han be alone with Xia Ruoming would definitely be a mistake, but she really couldn’t lower herself to act like Ye Han.

As Jiang Ruhua turned her head back, planning to finish the last bit of coffee and leave, she directly met Luo Qingxuan’s gaze.

Jiang Ruhua swore, this was the first time in her life she had seen someone who could so clearly write hatred on their face. That hatred looked like it wanted to flay her alive. She herself had never met this person except for that one time at Starry Sky Coffee Shop, and she hadn’t offended her that time at Starry Sky Coffee Shop, so she didn’t know why there could be such great hatred for her in those eyes.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Jiang Ruhua asked coldly.

“Stay away from senior, never get close to her again,” Luo Qingxuan said these words almost through gritted teeth, one word at a time, and Jiang Ruhua could hear it.

“Heh? What right do you have to order me?” Jiang Ruhua raised an eyebrow, hearing someone dare to speak to her like this for the first time in her life. “Because of what? Because you like her?”

“No, just because that person is you.” That voice was extremely cold, the previously lively and cute girl in front of senior now seemed to be without any emotion. “As for what right I have… Jiang Ruhua, are you afraid of death?”

“Hmm? Of course I’m afraid of death, is there really anyone in this world who isn’t afraid of death?” Jiang Ruhua held her coffee cup, smiling as she answered.

“Yes, I’m not afraid of death.” Luo Qingxuan suddenly laughed uncontrollably. To let senior have another chance, she had sacrificed 40 years of her life span, meaning she would never be able to see senior’s entire life through. So she would stop the story between Jiang Ruhua and Xia Ruoming from continuing at this time point no matter what.

For Xia Ruoming, forget about 40 years of life span, even if she could never wake up again after turning back time, so what?

All she cared about was that senior could live out her life peacefully.

“Jiang Ruhua, I’m not afraid of death. No matter how powerful your Jiang family is, it means nothing to me,” she continued to say softly. “So, you’d better consider what I said.”
