Push Me Away When I Come, Don't Hold Me Back When I Leave - Chapter 52

Chapter 52: The Story Afterwards…

***

2 years later, Xia Ruoming had already graduated. When she learned about Xu Fengwu and Ye Han being together, she directly gave up on pursuing graduate studies, as her interest in studying had always been moderate. If becoming better wasn’t for being with Xu Fengwu, then improving herself had no meaning — that was what she thought at the time.

With her decent writing skills, she barely managed to make a living by writing novels.

“Xia Ruoming!”

The graduated Xia Ruoming was walking on the street, planning to buy some discounted bento from Wangfujing’s prepared food section for dinner, when she vaguely heard a familiar voice calling her name.

Jiang Ruhua looked at the figure before her; it seemed like the burden of fate still weighed on this person. The weariness had never left her face. Her hair had changed from ice blue to misty blue. Xia Ruoming with her ponytail was even more captivating than before, stirring up endless possessiveness in Jiang Ruhua, just like seeing accessories she liked in a mall and wanting to buy them all.

Xia Ruoming turned back puzzled, and saw an unfamiliar woman standing behind her. The woman had somewhat of an elder sister aura, or rather a queenly aura. She wore Song of Song’s elegant dress, Roger Vivier’s jeweled high heels, and carried pRAdA’s limited edition woven bag. Her entire appearance exuded nobility.

She was completely bewildered, as she didn’t seem to know such a wealthy young lady. Perhaps it was a mistake.

Though that face looked somewhat disagreeable to her, she felt like she couldn’t remember it at all. After carefully thinking again, Xia Ruoming was certain she had no such person in her memory.

“Excuse me, who are you?” The summer in Chengdu was scorching hot, and Xia Ruoming wasn’t happy being stopped on the street, but she still maintained a polite tone when asking the woman before her.

Xia Ruoming looked at this woman twice. She was indeed very beautiful with a great figure, but what did that have to do with her? Surely she wasn’t being asked to film a movie.

“Xia Ruoming, you actually forgot about me?” Jiang Ruhua looked at Xia Ruoming somewhat disbelievingly. For these two years, she had kept the past events in her heart every day. Since Xia Ruoming wanted her to grow up more before coming back, she would return later like an adult. She who dreamed of Xia Ruoming every night couldn’t believe that Xia Ruoming had forgotten her. She had prepared for this day for exactly two years, how could Xia Ruoming do this!

“Should I remember you?” Xia Ruoming let out a light laugh. This tone seemed to suggest that remembering her should be Xia Ruoming’s obligation. Such an arrogant person was rarely seen in her life, and it didn’t match with that face at all. Perhaps it was a case of growing up beautifully, but Xia Ruoming didn’t care. Even if they knew each other before, so what.

“Shouldn’t you?” Jiang Ruhua frowned slightly. Originally, she had wanted to wait for Xia Ruoming to come begging her, but Xia Ruoming would rather live such a poor life than seek her out, just like those pedantic scholars from ancient times, not knowing how to be good to herself.

Who knew, Xia Ruoming had long forgotten about her.

“Could it be… perhaps you are…” Xia Ruoming pondered hard, feeling like there might have been such a person in her memory, otherwise she wouldn’t find her voice so familiar, but why couldn’t she remember?

“Yes, you remember now?” Jiang Ruhua’s eyes suddenly lit up, as if anticipating something.

That familiar voice overlapped with a particularly annoying voice in her memory, and Xia Ruoming suddenly frowned as well.

“Could it be… you’re Little Princess?” Xia Ruoming made a strange guess. Actually, she wasn’t very confident. The woman before her was the type of strong woman with an elder sister and queenly aura, while Jiang Ruhua was just a childish little princess. Moreover, this woman’s figure was indeed much better than Jiang Ruhua…

“Tch, don’t call me Little Princess!” Jiang Ruhua immediately broke character, speaking like an aggrieved young girl.

It was precisely Jiang Ruhua’s strange personality that made Xia Ruoming become an unqualified lesbian — she would laugh when being dominant, and resist when being submissive.

“Hahaha… so it’s Little Princess.” Seeing Xia Ruoming’s carefree laugh before her, Jiang Ruhua suddenly had an urge to punch her. Even though Xia Ruoming had remembered her, she felt even angrier.

“So, we haven’t seen each other for several years. Little Princess is now high and mighty, while I’m just an ordinary person struggling for survival. What brings your noble self to seek this mundane person?” Xia Ruoming put away her smile and said seriously to Jiang Ruhua.

“I want to keep you, Xia Ruoming, be my mistress.” The same arrogant tone as two years ago, this tone made Xia Ruoming feel particularly uncomfortable.

“Look, Little Princess, it’s been almost 3 years, I thought your game would have ended long ago. Save it, I don’t have time to play house with you, Little Princess. I have real things to do.” After speaking, Xia Ruoming turned around and prepared to leave directly.

“Xia Ruoming, are you really content with this? Don’t you want to turn your life around?” Jiang Ruhua’s soft voice came from behind, at that moment, Xia Ruoming felt like she heard temptation from the devil.

“…What does that have to do with you?” Those words indeed hit Xia Ruoming’s weak spot. Xia Ruoming took a deep breath, stopped her steps, but still had no intention of turning back.

“Xia Ruoming, you gave up on Xu Fengwu, and your life has become so miserable. How many people actually follow your novels? Is your monthly income enough to support yourself? Actually, you have talent and ability, it’s just that no one is willing to help you. Behind me is the Jiang family. If you want money, I can give you countless amounts. If you want a career, I can make your novel the hottest one online.”

“Haven’t you seen it these two years? Because Ye Han was better than you, Xu Fengwu chose Ye Han. Because you’re just an ordinary person, your career is restricted everywhere. I am the one willing to help and support you. As long as you’re willing to take my hand, from now on you’ll be completely different. Even if you want to destroy the Ye family, I absolutely don’t mind.” Jiang Ruhua’s words were indeed like the devil tempting her, making her heart begin to waver.

Taking a thousand plus royalty fee each month, plus a few hundred attendance bonus, she felt she’d had enough of this life too.

Xia Ruoming was just infatuated, but definitely not stupid.

Jiang Ruhua also knew this well, which was why she came to find Xia Ruoming actively.

Xia Ruoming’s nature was actually quite proud too, only becoming that way in front of Xu Fengwu.

After observing for so long, Jiang Ruhua knew well that Xia Ruoming would never bow her head first.

So, Jiang Ruhua came actively, to give Xia Ruoming a way out.

The one taking initiative was her, Jiang Ruhua, not you, Xia Ruoming.

Xia Ruoming turned around, meeting Jiang Ruhua’s malicious gaze.

“What do you want, Little Princess?” she asked softly.

“Didn’t I say? I want you to be my mistress.” Back then it was Xia Ruoming who laughed unusually freely, but this time it was Jiang Ruhua’s turn.

After a long silence, Xia Ruoming finally fulfilled Jiang Ruhua’s wish, slowly nodding her head.

“I agree…” For some reason, Xia Ruoming’s voice was a bit hoarse.

She had nothing left to pursue, dedicating herself to Little Princess might not be a bad choice…

Hearing such an answer, Jiang Ruhua slightly narrowed her eyes, hiding that somewhat triumphant expression within her eye sockets.
