My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 345: Chapter 0344: Murong Ruyin (Four more updates)_1
 

Y City, Murong Family.

Murong Ruyin stood in front of a human model bristling with silver needles, listening to the tale from the other end of the phone, her chest heaving wildly, unable to calm down for a long time.

Murong Ruyin, the genius girl of the Lingnan Sect, inherited the true teachings of Murong Feng and was hailed as the most talented doctor after Murong Feng and the most mysterious person in Y City.

The reason for the mystery was that after she came of age, Ruyin always covered her face when she went out; no one outside her family had seen her true appearance.

The reason for the veil was that Ruyin was not only a member of the Murong family but also the successor to a very secretive sect. According to the rules of this sect, one was not allowed to show their true face in public, so she always covered her face.

Recalling the recent events, Murong Ruyin had an epiphany.

Over these three months, not only had her father been seldom meeting her, but he had also often been away on business trips, making it difficult to find him. When she called him to ask about acupuncture, he often did not answer the phone.

A few days ago, her father finally returned because, in just over ten days, it would be the once every five-year medical conference of the Lingnan Sect, so he had to come back to prepare.

After his return, he immediately locked himself in his room, not allowing anyone to disturb him, saying he needed to prepare for the conference.

When Ruyin sought him out for issues related to acupuncture, he was often too busy.

These could be understood, but what was most incomprehensible was that sometimes when she encountered him at home, Ruyin noticed that her father’s gaze was different; it didn’t have the clarity of a father’s eyes.

At the time, Murong Ruyin didn’t think too much of it, but now that she knew the truth, she suddenly understood.

The man who impersonated her father must have been captivated by her beauty, his gaze clearly carrying a lecherous expression.

The thought that a stranger in her father’s guise had lived with her for days made Ruyin feel as if she had swallowed a fly, unable to spit it out or swallow it.

That feeling was a mix of anger and disgust.

“Ruyin, you must act as if you know nothing or else I fear he might harm you. The person who will rescue me is already on their way home, and if nothing unexpected happens, they should arrive in two or three hours. You must hold on, do not take any rash action and alarm him,” instructed Murong Feng.

“Dad, I know what to do.”

Just after Ruyin hung up the phone, there was a knock at the door.

Could it be that bastard impersonating her father?

Her heart leaped into her throat.

Her father had said that the person impersonating him was quite capable, and Ruyin was not sure she could defeat him; thus, her only option now was to play along with him.

Heart in her mouth, Ruyin walked over to open the door, and when she saw clearly who was there, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn’t the fake father; it was her mother, Wu Lizhen.

Wu Lizhen walked in and on seeing her pale complexion, quickly asked, “Why do you look so pale?”

“Oh… practicing with the needles made me a bit tired,” Ruyin hurriedly replied.

This matter absolutely must not be mentioned to her mother, for with her temperament, she would certainly give something away.

“Why put yourself through such hardship every day? You’re a girl; don’t work yourself to the bone like your dad,” Wu Lizhen advised.

“I know.”

Ruyin couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, has dad slept with you since he came back?”

A blush flew across Wu Lizhen’s face as she quickly said, “If your dad doesn’t sleep with me after he comes back, then where would he sleep?”

“What, he slept with you?” Murong Ruyin’s face changed drastically.

“You’re asking some weird questions. If your dad doesn’t sleep with me, then where would he go, the living room?”

Ruyin gritted her teeth, feeling a murderous impulse upon thinking of her mother being violated.

“Did he… have relations with you?” Ruyin asked urgently.

This question completely dumbfounded Wu Lizhen.

In Wu Lizhen’s mind, her daughter was always obedient and traditional in nature, so why was she suddenly asking such embarrassing questions today?

“Ruyin, are you in love?”

Wu Lizhen naturally assumed that her daughter was in love and might have come into contact with such matters, prompting the questions out of ignorance.

“Don’t worry about whether I am in love or not, I am asking you, has he ever been intimate with you?”

“What ‘he’? He is your father, have some respect.” Wu Lizhen scolded.

If it had truly been her father, she wouldn’t have been this anxious, nor would she have asked such embarrassing questions.

“Mom, please tell me, I beg you.”

“I really don’t know what’s gotten into you today. These past days your dad has been practicing his medical skill and often returns to our room only late at night; by the morning when I wake up, he has already gotten up. Perhaps he is too stressed and lacks interest.”

Murong Ruyin breathed a sigh of relief.

Her mother hadn’t been violated, which should be considered fortunate amidst the misfortune.

Although her mother was already in her forties, because of good maintenance and frequent acupuncture and detoxifying skincare by her father, she looked like she was in her thirties. Generally, men desire mature women quite strongly.

Murong Ruyin was very worried that her mother might be violated, but now it seemed that things hadn’t gone to such extremes.

It seemed that the other party didn’t dare. If he had truly been intimate with her mother, it would definitely have been discovered.

Being with different men would probably feel different; Murong Ruyin hadn’t experienced it herself, but being a medical student, she understood this aspect rather well.

“Mom, is it possible that during the dead of night, while you were half asleep, he was intimate with you?” Murong Ruyin thought of this possibility too.

“Daughter, why do you keep asking such embarrassing questions today?” Wu Lizhen’s face turned red.

“I … I’m just a little curious.”

Murong Ruyin didn’t dare ask any further; if she did, her mother might start to suspect.

Even if such an incident had really occurred, she must never speak of it, not even if it rotted in her heart for a lifetime.

Otherwise, considering her mother’s traditional values, she might do something drastic.

“Mom, where are you taking those things?”

Murong Ruyin saw that she was holding a stack of silver needles and asked curiously.

“Your father asked me to deliver the silver needles to his study. I was just about to deliver them, and as I was passing by your room, I thought I’d check in on you,” replied Wu Lizhen.

“Give them to me. I’ll take them over. I have some questions to ask Dad anyway,” said Murong Ruyin.

“All right then, take them right away, your father said he needs them urgently,” Wu Lizhen handed over the silver needles.

“Okay, I’ll go right now.”

Even if it meant walking into the Dragon’s Den, Murong Ruyin was determined to go.

Her father had said he’d be able to rush over in just over two hours; she had to keep this guy tied up at all costs, not let him escape.

Murong Ruyin took a deep breath, took the silver needles in hand, and headed towards Murong Feng’s study.

Soon, she arrived at the study and knocked on the door.

“Come in,” Murong Feng’s voice came from inside.

Murong Ruyin’s heart tightened.
