After a while, Qiao Ruoxi realized that the man had not done anything inappropriate to her. Her heart was finally at ease.
It was just that his deterrence was too strong. It was akin to a lion lying behind you. Even if the lion was sleeping, you still can’t sleep peacefully.
Qiao Ruoxi could not fall asleep.
She opened her eyes and looked at the crystal swan decoration on the bed. The light shone on the swan and reflected a dazzling light.
After looking at it for a while, she felt that maybe it was because the lights were on, or maybe she could fall asleep quickly after turning off the lights.
She bowed slightly and reached out her hand. With a click, she pressed the switch on the bedside lamp. The light went out and the whole room instantly fell into darkness.
But before she could close her eyes to sleep, the lights came on again.
“Don’t turn off the lights.”
The man’s cold voice entered her ears.
Qiao Ruoxi turned her head slightly and felt very depressed. “If I don’t turn off the lights, I won’t be able to sleep.”
She turned off the bedside lamp again and the room fell into darkness again. But after two seconds, the light came on again.
“I can’t sleep if the lights are off,” the man said stubbornly.
“What kind of person are you? It’s not environmentally friendly to sleep with the lights on.”
Qiao Ruoxi could not understand the man’s neurotic personality. She wanted to persuade him to change his habit of sleeping with the lights on.
“I don’t care. If you turn off the lights again, I’ll tie you up.”
Feng Yunan lay on the bed with one hand supporting the back of his head.
Living with someone who had completely different habits was just asking for trouble.
Qiao Ruoxi felt that Feng Yunan was deliberately tormenting her by forcing her to stay in the guest room.
But she could not fall asleep with the lights on!
After waiting for a while, the man’s breathing gradually became even. Qiao Ruoxi thought that Feng Yunan was most likely asleep, so she secretly got up and turned off the switch.
Unfortunately, the lights lit up again in the next second.
He said angrily, “I’ve never seen a woman as disobedient as you!”
He had already warned her that if she dared to turn off the lights again, he would tie her up.
Feng Yunan fell asleep peacefully, and his breathing gradually became heavier. But Qiao Ruoxi was still like a mackerel being roasted by a charcoal fire. It was not easy to even turn her face.
She wondered why Feng Yunan had to sleep with the lights on.
What kind of weird fetish is this?
It was only when she recalled the scene of her taking the elevator to the Central Ring Mall in the day and recalled how he looked when he was in pain, and then remembered that Xiu Yi had told her that he was suffering from claustrophobia.
He was afraid of the dark.
He was afraid of staying in a dark house.
When she thought of this, Qiao Ruoxi’s soft heart suddenly trembled. An indescribable feeling emerged in her heart.
It turned out that the arrogant man in the eyes of outsiders also had a weak side.
She was curious as to why he had such a strange disease.
After letting her imagination run wild for some time, Qiao Ruoxi also fell asleep.
The next morning, Qiao Ruoxi asked, “Feng Yunan, tell me, why do you have claustrophobia? How did you meet Wen Ke’er? Also, why is your relationship with your mother so bad?”
Two of the three questions were Feng Yunan’s taboo.
The sudden mention of claustrophobia made him very unhappy, as if someone had seen through his fragile heart.
She also mentioned his relationship with his mother. At this time, he did not want to hear anything about Gu Yunjin.
The mention of that woman made him feel disgusted and hateful.
“Damn it! Shut up! Don’t ask what you shouldn’t!”
He cursed angrily.
She had clearly seen the trace of hurt in his eyes just now. She looked at his back as he left angrily. The corners of her mouth twitched, but she did not say anything.
Feng Yunan must’ve been angered by her. He left the Ocean Pavilion without eating breakfast.
Qiao Ruoxi looked at the sumptuous breakfast on the table and sighed.
Auntie Jiang could tell from Feng Yunan’s expression that Feng Yunan was angry again. She looked at Qiao Ruoxi and sighed. She guessed that they might have quarreled again last night.
“Young Madam, don’t worry. Young Master will calm down soon. Hurry up and eat your breakfast!”
Qiao Ruoxi ate her breakfast alone, feeling a little bored. She thought of something and couldn’t help but ask, “Auntie Jiang, your young master has claustrophobia, right?”
“Yes.” Auntie Jiang was slightly surprised and then nodded.
“Then do you know why he has that illness?” Qiao Ruoxi asked again.
“This… I don’t dare to tell you…”
Auntie Jiang was well aware of the Feng family’s rules and also understood Feng Yunan’s personality. He had ordered that no one was to mention the taboo and no one dared to gossip about it.
If Auntie Jiang did not dare to say it, it meant that she knew everything.
The more she said, the more curious Qiao Ruoxi became.
“Auntie Jiang, please tell me. I promise I won’t tell anyone.”
Qiao Ruoxi put down her chopsticks and grabbed Auntie Jiang’s hand. She begged, “If I know the reason, I would be more careful with my words in the future. I wouldn’t easily upset him. You know his temper. If I say something wrong and anger him, not only will he be mad at me, but he might also punish me. Auntie Jiang, please tell me everything you know, okay?”
Under Qiao Ruoxi’s repeated pleas, Auntie Jiang risked her life and told her everything she knew.
It turned out that he had a painful and dark childhood experience. He had been abused by his own mother for many years, causing him to suffer from claustrophobia.
When he was 12 years old, he was kidnapped and abandoned in an abandoned mine in the Blue Sparrow Mountain. It was Wen Ke’er who saved his life.
Wen Ke’er had saved his life. In order to fulfill his promise, he had used his life and happiness to repay her.
No one could replace Wen Ke’er’s place in his heart.
Wen Ke’er was like an angel who had saved him, someone who had been deprived of love and abused since a young age.
Qiao Ruoxi finally understood why the arrogant man was afraid of dark and cramped spaces. She also understood why his relationship with her mother was like fire and water. She also knew how unshakable Wen Ke’er was in his heart.
After learning the truth, she felt slightly guilty.
The few questions she had asked in the morning were all things she should not have asked. They must have evoked the sad memories in his heart.
She really didn’t mean to expose his scars.
…
After breakfast, he went to work.
Qiao Ruoxi walked into Di Ruiling Jewelry’s flagship store. She could clearly feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere today. Many of her colleagues looked at her strangely after she came in.
One of the female colleagues, Xiao Lu, said sarcastically, “Hey, isn’t this Mu Group’s CEO Mu Yunli’s female companion? Why is she here at Di Ruiling Jewelry? Did she go to the wrong place?”
Someone chimed in, “Yeah, she’s already clinging onto the big boss. Is there still a need to go to work?”
