This idea had been formed in his mind a long time ago, and what happened yesterday and today made Ruan Yi completely firm in his idea.
But now Xu Siyan should still be thinking about Jiang Mingzhu, and wonders when he will fall in love with someone else.
Ruan Yi admitted that she had some selfish motives and wanted to develop her career as much as possible during the marriage.
In this way, a better life can be given to several relatives after the divorce.
So now, as long as there is an opportunity that is beneficial to career development, she will not let it go.
——
On the second day of the new year, Ruan Yi went back alone.
Grandpa and grandma were somewhat disappointed not to see Xu Siyan, but they also knew the reason for Ruan Yi and Xu Siyan's marriage, so they already had a lot of affection for them, and they had no position to ask Xu Siyan to "respect" them like other people's sons-in-law.
That night, Ruan Yi stayed at home directly.
After moving, Ruan Yi left a guest room here, which contained only daily necessities. Her belongings were all stored in the old house.
Before going to bed, Qinghe came to Ruan Yi's room and talked to her about the house.
Qinghe: "Mom thought about it for a while. A neighbor said that he sold his house for more than four million yuan a while ago. Let's find an agent to list it out. After selling it, we can collect some money to buy a new house."
Now that Ruan Yi has the idea of divorcing Xu Siyan, they cannot live here forever.
Ruan Yi had always had the idea of buying a house before. After hearing what He said, she thought for a while and said, "Well, let's try contacting the agent first."
Qinghe: "But now the house prices are too high, and the pressure to repay the mortgage is also great. You work..."
"It's okay. I took on a few private jobs a while ago. I can save a lot of money by taking on more in the future." Ruan Yi comforted Qinghe, "Besides, it's not like you can find a house right away, so take your time."
Qinghe: "Then let's go back and clean up tomorrow. Once it's clean, let the agency take pictures."
——
In the next two or three days, Ruan Yi and Qinghe were packing up the things in the old house.
The diaries, honor books, and love letters tucked inside were all dug out one by one.
Ruan Yi also found a photo of her high school physics competition, the only "photo" of her and Xu Siyan.
To say that we took a group photo is actually too far-fetched, because this is a commemorative photo of the physics competition, and there are more than 20 people in it.
And she and Xu Siyan were on one side and the other on the right.
Although it was far away, it was the closest she had ever been to Xu Siyan during her student days.
So this photo has been treasured by her.
Over the years, the photo looks a little old, but Xu Siyan's face can still be seen clearly on it.
He was seventeen or eighteen years old at that time, his facial contours were not as deep as they are now, and his aura was not as strong.
After comparing the photos, Ruan Yi realized the changes in Xu Siyan.
Ruan Yi stayed with the photo for a long time. Seeing her like this, Qinghe couldn't help but move closer to look at the photo.
Soon, she found Xu Siyan in the group photo.
Qinghe sighed and couldn't help but ask her: "Yiyi, you still like Si Yan, right?"
Ruan Yi was brought back to her senses by Qinghe's question. She smiled and said, "It's okay. Maybe I miss myself more at that time."
Qinghe: "Have you told Si Yan?"
Ruan Yi shook his head, "Let the past go by. We all need to look back."
——
In the next half year or so, Ruan Yi really managed to "look back".
Xu Siyan still didn't come home, and she didn't take the initiative to contact him.
Colleagues at the school introduced several design projects to Ruan Yi, and Ruan Yi made a lot of money after following them.
The old house was successfully sold in June and received nearly 5 million.
With this money, plus Ruan Yi's private work and the money saved by his family, he can buy a relatively large house outside the Fifth Ring Road.
So, in the next few months, Ruan Yi kept looking at houses everywhere.
The weather has turned from warm to cool, and autumn, the most comfortable and shortest period of the year in Beicheng, has arrived.
After class that day, Ruan Yi drove out and met with the agent. The agent introduced her to a property in a university town. Ruan Yi liked the house type after seeing it online, so she made an appointment to see it in person.
After seeing it in person, Ruan Yi is still very satisfied with the apartment. The only drawback is that she doesn't have enough money to pay off the house in one go, so she may have to consider a loan.
If a loan is required, there is a high probability that Wan Liu and Xu Moyan will not be able to hide this matter.
Ruan Yi could only tell the agency to "think about it again."
After parting ways with the agent, Ruan Yi took a walk on the roadside alone, thinking about a solution.
The weather has been nice recently, so many people go out for a walk at night.
Ruan Yi soon saw a familiar figure in the crowd. Surprised, he glanced at the woman next to him.
...Xu Siyan, and Jiang Mingzhu.
Ruan Yi told herself that she should look away, but she seemed to be out of control, her eyes were always fixed there and did not come back.
Xu Siyan and Jiang Mingzhu just stood together and made no ambiguous moves.
But even from a few meters away, Ruan Yi could still clearly see Xu Siyan's worry and affection when he looked at Jiang Mingzhu.
That was a treatment she would never enjoy in her life.
Ruan Yi was not jealous or unwilling. He was even in a calm mood and had no intention of questioning him.
She already knew the answer.
Facts have proven that if you stare at someone for too long, you will get caught.
After Ruan Yi caught Xu Siyan's gaze off guard, he quickly grabbed the bag strap and turned around to leave.
She was not a perfect image in Xu Siyan's mind, and now he should have been thinking that she was following her on purpose.
——
Ruan Yi's premonition was indeed accurate.
As soon as she returned to Qingjiang Garden to change clothes and go downstairs, Xu Siyan came back.
His face was serious and tight, with a strong sense of oppression.
Ruan Yi took a deep breath and said with a smile: "You are back. Have you had dinner? Do you want me to cook one for you?"
Xu Siyan: "It's up to you."
Ruan Yi quickly cooked two bowls of noodles. She thoughtfully prepared tableware for Xu Siyan, so he didn't need to do it himself.
The two sat facing each other, and Ruan Yi could still feel Xu Siyan looking at her while he lowered his head to eat noodles.
Not long after, I heard him ask: "What are you doing on Fuyang Road today?"
Ruan Yi stiffened for a moment, then explained to him: "I'm not following you, there's something going on over there today."
Xu Siyan: "I have nothing to do with Jiang Mingzhu."
Although he doesn't like Ruan Yi and doesn't want this marriage, he doesn't want to be labeled as cheating.
Ruan Yi: "I know, don't worry about my parents."
Her words sounded perfunctory, not as if she believed him, but as if she was telling him: Don't worry about cheating, I will help you cover it.
Xu Siyan felt inexplicably irritated, threw away his chopsticks, stood up and left.
He walked very fast, and before Ruan Yi realized what was going on, he heard the door slamming in the living room.
Ruan Yi smiled, bent down to pick up the chopsticks on the ground, sat back down and continued eating noodles.
