When the man bent down, he was very close to her, close enough that she could smell the faint and pleasant scent of his cologne.
"I’m sorry." The man’s deep voice softly sounded in her ear, and before she could react, he had already closed the car door, walked to the other side, opened the door, and sat down, calmly starting the car.
If it weren’t for the faint scent of his cologne still lingering at the tip of her nose, she would have thought his apology was just her imagination.
Her eyelashes lowered, and the corners of her mouth gently curved into a smile.
Such a proud person, it turns out, can also say sorry.
The car started and drove away, the sky gradually darkened, neon lights flickering on both sides, the night was just beginning.
The ringtone of a phone broke the silence inside the car.
The man placed one hand on the steering wheel and pressed the Bluetooth headset on his ear with the other, his brow occasionally relaxing and tensing, "I’ll talk about it when I get back." With that, he hung up the phone.
Liang Wenwan glanced sideways at him, his profile, amidst the changing lights, appeared exceptionally handsome, with well-defined features and lashes so thick that she, as a woman, felt envious.
In these years, Ruan Group had been nearly ruined under Ruan Wencheng, leaving a mess for Ruan Songxi. If it weren’t for the marriage alliance with Liang’s, it might not have gotten through this hurdle.
Liang Wenwan felt a faint pang in her heart, turned to look at the night view outside the window, and her soft voice gently floated within the car.
"I forgive you."
Ruan Songxi raised an eyebrow slightly, glanced sideways at the woman sitting in the passenger seat, and the corner of his mouth imperceptibly curved into a smile.

"Young Master Lorde is here." Hongxin respectfully said from outside the door.
Yun Ya rubbed her brow, right now she would rather sleep than face that man again.
Sighing, she got up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs to meet the guest.
Wherever Lorde was, Gan Wei’er was never far behind. It’s just that lately, because of a rash on her face, she didn’t dare to appear in front of Lorde, much less worry about being seen by Lorde the night she hit someone, her heart was in turmoil, and she dared not go near Lorde.
When Yun Ya came downstairs, she saw Lorde standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, outside the floor-to-ceiling window was an endless lawn, the green blending with the sunlight, truly a beautiful scene.
Hearing footsteps, Lorde turned around, and when he saw the girl approaching slowly, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.
No matter how many times he saw her, she would still amaze him.
"Young Master Lorde, please have a seat." The girl spoke with a smile.
Lorde walked up to her, paused, and quietly clenched his hand hanging at his side, then sat down on the sofa.
"On the first of next month, it’s the engagement day. I’m here to notify you." Lorde spoke in a low voice.
Butler Ziyu personally walked over with a tea tray, smiling as he filled the tea cup in front of Lorde, "Young Master Lorde, please have some tea."
Lorde glanced at him indifferently, picked up the tea cup, and took a small sip.
"If you have any requests, you can make them now. As long as they’re not too excessive, I’ll try to fulfill them."
The girl sat quietly, her gaze cast downward, showing no emotion.
Butler Ziyu softly reminded, "Princess, Young Master Lorde asked you a question."
Yun Ya shook her head and softly said, "No, I don’t."
Lorde glanced at her and said, "Don’t you feel bored staying indoors all the time? Tonight, there’s a performance at Broadway, Romeo and Juliet, a classic play. Would you like to go see it?"
Just as Yun Ya was about to refuse, Butler Ziyu had already smiled and said, "Young Master Lorde is right. The Princess should go out for a walk. How about accompanying Young Master Lorde to see the play? I believe Young Master Lorde will surely take good care of the Princess."
Yun Ya hesitated for a moment, and under Lorde’s expectant and passionate gaze, she eventually nodded in agreement.
Butler Ziyu’s smile deepened.
Yun Ya went back upstairs to change her clothes. Since she was going to a crowded place, she deliberately chose something low-key, with a hat covering her head. When she lowered her gaze, only a section of her fair chin was visible.
Yun Ya came downstairs, Hongxin and four bodyguards in black stood ready in the living room. Butler Ziyu smiled and said, "Let them accompany you to ensure the Princess’s safety. Princess, it’s best to go early and come back early. Have a good time."
Yun Ya sneered internally but kept a faint smile on her face. As she walked closer, Lorde smiled and said, "You look beautiful like this."
A man who rarely smiles can be quite striking when he does, yet Yun Ya was uninterested in admiring it and walked outside first.
Hongxin and Butler Ziyu quickly exchanged a look and turned to leave, following not too far behind Yun Ya.
