535 Secret
Translator: Lordbluefire
Shen Ruojing’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Chu Cichen and Song Chen’s resemblance had always been a puzzle in her heart.
It was impossible for any person, even identical twins, to have exactly the same behavior... and this was true even if one of them was a professional imitator. This was unless Song Chen had forgotten himself and completely transformed into Chu Cichen. If that were the case, only then would the imitation be flawless.
She was indeed curious, so she asked, “Why?”
The other party smiled and said, “It’s a secret.”
Shen Ruojing. “...”
She knew that the other party wouldn’t be so kind as to tell her the answer directly.
It seemed that the other party had been leading her forward, but she didn’t know the purpose.
She was getting a little angry, but then she heard the other party speak again. “However, I can tell you another secret.”
Shen Ruojing. “What?”
“Do you know why we must kill Song Chen?”
Shen Ruojing fell silent.
She narrowed her eyes. Before the other party said this, she didn’t know. But at this moment, she suddenly understood something. “Because Song Chen not only knows your secret but has also seen you?”
“How interesting, you never disappoint me, hahaha!”
After saying this, the other party hung up directly.
Shen Ruojing stared at her phone in a daze for a while.
The door of the operating room was pushed open at this time. Shen Ruojing then looked over and saw that Song Chen’s wound had been stitched up, and he was pushed out of the operating room. His face was pale, clearly weak from excessive blood loss, but his willpower was strong. He was still keeping his eyes open.
Upon seeing Shen Ruojing, Song Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Ruojing followed him into the ward. After the doctors left him there, Shen Ruojing stepped forward and took Song Chen’s pulse.
Song Chen’s wound was not actually severe, but during the surgery, the chief doctor had somehow touched his internal organs, causing massive bleeding and a life-threatening situation. Now that his blood was replenished, his pulse was weak but stable.
Seeing that Song Chen was no longer in danger, Shen Ruojing hesitated for a moment and was about to speak when Song Chen asked, “Jingjing, am I useful to you again?”
Shen Ruojing looked at him.
Song Chen smiled and said, “I know from the beginning that it was one-sided love between us, and I was the one who deceived you. What I fear now is becoming useless to you.”
His voice was still weak. “So, if there’s anything you want me to do, tell me. I’d be very happy.”
Shen Ruojing didn’t expect him to say such a thing. After thinking for a moment, she asked, “When you were secretly locked up and trained back then, did you ever see the other party’s faces?”
Song Chen immediately replied, “I saw several of them. They had to bring me food, and every once in a while, someone would come to see if my imitation was accurate... In the end, it was only after that person’s inspection and approval that I was sent to your side.”
He had indeed seen the people from that organization.
Shen Ruojing thought about it and said, “I’m going to Country A soon. Would you like to go with me?”
Song Chen’s face showed a joyful expression. “I’d love to!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled on his wound in excitement and took a sharp breath while holding it. Then, he lay back down on the bed. Seeing the worry in Shen Ruojing’s eyes, he immediately said, “I’m fine. When do we leave?”
Shen Ruojing thought carefully. “In a week.”
Song Chen’s wound would scab over in a week, and then he could leave with her.
However...
Shen Ruojing looked at him. “I’ll ask you again. The future of this trip is uncertain, and there are many dangers. Are you sure you want to go with me?”
Song Chen smiled. “Yes, as long as I’m with you, I’m willing to go through any danger.”
Shen Ruojing ignored his last sentence and said indifferently, “1 have no feelings for you.’
“I know,” Song Chen said with a bitter smile. “I know you’ve always liked Mr. Chu, and I never dared to hope that you would like me. But my liking for you has nothing to do with it. I’m willing to help you, and by doing so, I’m helping myself. Only by finding that organization and resolving the issues between you and them can I live openly and honestly, right?”
Seeing that he understood, Shen Ruojing breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn’t want to be caught between two men, so some things had to be made clear.
After talking to Song Chen, Shen Ruojing left the ward.
Chu Cichen stepped forward immediately upon seeing her. He had just lost so much blood, and his face was pale and weak at the moment. ‘Jingjing...’
Shen Ruojing looked at him. ‘What?”
Chu Cichen hesitated for a while but ultimately said nothing. “Nothing.”
He lowered his eyes, covering the deep thoughts and worry within, but his face showed a mix of resistance and anger. “Don’t worry, I will take good care of the three children at home. The children and I will wait for you to come back.”
‘Alright.”
Seven days later.
The Queen Dowager and King of Country A returned to their country, and they would naturally be traveling with the royal aircraft of Country A.
Next to the airport tarmac.
The royal guards surrounded and protected their king.
Jing Zhen wore a suit with gold threads, standing tall and exuding a powerful aura. Gone was his previous timidity as he had transformed completely. Having grown up in the royal family, his upbringing and demeanor had long since been ingrained in his bones.
Shen Qianhui stood beside him, supported by Shen Ruojing.
Shen Yuansong and the three children came to see them off personally. Shen Yuansong’s gaze then swept over Shen Qianhui and landed on Shen Ruojing. After contemplating for a while, the white-haired old man said, “Jingjing, take good care of your mother.”
‘Grandpa, don’t worry.’
After finishing her words, Shen Ruojing looked at the three little ones. ‘Are you sure your daddy isn’t coming?
Chu Tianye said, “Daddy has meetings every morning, and he said that there was an important meeting, so he really couldn’t make it.’
Chu Xiaomeng then said, “Mommy, did you make Dad angry?
Chu Yu furrowed his little brows. “Sigh, Daddy has been really busy these days, and it seems like he’s genuinely angry. A grown man getting angry with a woman is just too petty!’
After the three little ones finished speaking, Shen Yuansong coughed lightly.
He then glanced at a man in the royal guard team before lowering his voice as he looked at Shen Ruojing. “Jingjing, you’re taking this man named Song Chen with you but not Cichen. As a man, his pride must be hurt, which would make him angry. What were you thinking?”
Shen Ruojing also gave him a bitter smile.
Ever since she made the decision that day, Chu Cichen seemed to be angry, and his attitude toward her had become somewhat cold these past few days.
She understood.
If she were Chu Cichen, she would be angry too.
But she didn’t expect him not to even come to see her off..
