“Yeah,” Ruka replied. She didn’t want to give him the opportunity to invite her out for dinner. “It’s a Friday night, and tomorrow’s the weekend. I heard there’s a popular movie showing tonight. Do you want to go watch it together?”
As Ruka expected, Caspian did call her to invite her out. Inviting someone to watch a movie was one of the ways a date would go for the younger generation.
Nonetheless, she refused politely, “Sorry, I have something going on tonight, so I can’t go watch it with you.” Since she was focused on the phone call, she was oblivious to the fact that Ren had gotten out of bed and silently came behind her. It was when she noticed a shadow looming over her did she turn around in surprise.
However, it was all too late, as Ren snatched Ruka’s phone from her hand. As she let out a small gasp, he said coldly on the phone, ‘Stay away from her.” His voice was filled with intimidation.
“Who are you?!” Caspian asked angrily. Since he was still young and rather impetuous, he was naturally upset when the pleasant conversation he had was interrupted by someone’s warning.
“I’m her boyfriend,” Ren answered as he enunciated each of his words slowly before he ended the call.
Widening her eyes in disbelief, Ruka thought, Not only did this guy just give Caspian a warning, but to even go as far as pretend to be my boyfriend?!
Then, Ren unhappily tossed Ruka’s phone onto the couch. Although he was unwell, he still exuded an arrogant and dignified presence. At this moment, with his lips tightly pursed, he gave an icy glare at Ruka. “Are you really going to accept his confession?”
Feeling an overwhelming sense of oppression from Ren, Ruka subconsciously took a step back. “This is my personal affair. Please, don’t ask me about it, okay?”
“Do you think that I’ll allow you to go out with him?” Ren asked sullenly.
Listening to the man’s tone, Ruka felt the urge to rebel against him. “Ren Husson, just who do you think you are? Besides my parents, no one else has the right to oppose whoever I choose to be with!” she retorted with her voice raised. Is this man planning to ruin his reputation?
Perhaps because he hadn’t expected the docile Ruka would refute him so vehemently, Ren was somewhat taken aback.
Ruka gasped slightly. Her eyes were filled with determination as she pursed her red lips. “I know you’re someone in a high position, but you have no right to intrude on my freedom to be with who I want.
I have the right to like any person I wish, and that person isn’t you.” After she was done talking, she decided to leave the place. Since she had decided to cut off the ambiguous relationship she had with him, then she had to walk the talk.
Furthermore, Ruka had also taken into account what Victoria said to her. As the latter was madly in love with Ren, Ruka couldn’t discount the possibility of her going crazy and dragging his name through the mud out of resentment.
As Ruka had treated him as one of her older relatives throughout her life, the taboo feelings she felt only grew stronger. She never needed someone else to point out what was wrong with their relationship, as she knew that the relationship between them wasn’t just unreasonable, but it was also both unethical and immoral.
Looking at the girl who took her bag and was about to leave, Ren was like a lion. who had instantly had its strength cut off.
