Cristino did not go far, stopping less than five hundred meters away, out of Du Ruoxin's sight.
He took out his phone and made a video call to his subordinate.
Monitor Du Ruoxin and the male actor's filming situation throughout the entire process!
When Caroline caught up with him, she saw the man she admired staring intently at his phone screen.
A bitter feeling she couldn't quite describe.
Moreover, she had to maintain her most perfect smile before daring to approach him, "Sir."
Cristino didn't even look at her, his tone indifferent, "Didn't I tell you not to bother me unless it's important?"
If Xin'er found out, she would be heartbroken.
Although Caroline was a tool he had raised since childhood.
If he wasn't sure that her acquaintance, encounter, and interaction with Du Ruoxin were not pre-arranged, he would have taken her life.
Woundedness flickered in Caroline's eyes. She knelt before the man, carefully touching his knee, "You haven't contacted me in a long time."
Cristino raised an eyebrow, ended the video call, and pinched her chin. His deep blue eyes held a hint of mockery, "What, do you want to be used by me that badly?"
Shouldn't she be happy if he didn't look for her?
Caroline shook her head. She wasn't happy. In this life, she knew her feelings were all for Cristino and would never be for another man.
"I just want to repay your kindness." Even if it meant being used, she was willing.
Cristino let out a soft "Hmm?"
Caroline looked up at him, speaking with genuine sincerity, "You pulled me out of hell, you raised me..."
Cristino abruptly flung away the hand holding her chin and interrupted, "Get close to Qin Yunxi. I need to know his business secrets with Rong Jingyang."
Caroline: "Yes."
Cristino leaned back, signaling for her to leave. "Go."
Caroline replied, "Yes," again and stood up to leave.
After a few steps, Cristino called out to her, "Caroline."
Caroline's heart leaped with joy. She turned, only to meet the man's cold, emotionless eyes. Her initial joy was instantly covered by a layer of frost.
"You can fall in love with me, but don't even think about marrying into the Rothschild family."
His heart belonged only to Xin'er, forever.
Besides Xin'er, he would never have a second wife in this life.
The man's indifferent words echoed in Caroline's mind. She bowed her head sadly, "I know. I never thought of marrying you."
He was her god, the man she admired and worshipped.
She had never dared to hope to marry him as his wife.
She just wanted—
To be one of his many women, even a mistress, she would be content.
Caroline knew she wasn't worthy of marrying him as a wife, nor could she truly control Cristino. But she had set her heart on him and simply wanted to stay by his side, regardless of the capacity.
"Very well."
Saying two cold words, Cristino ignored her.
He lowered his head and picked up his phone to make a video call.
Caroline did not linger any longer.
She knew that Cristino wanted to deal with Rong Jingyang and was... eager to claim Du Ruoxin as his own.
Because he feared she would seduce Rong Jingyang, which would upset Du Ruoxin.
That was why he made her target Qin Yunxi.
The Qin family and the Rong family had some overlapping business interests, and Qin Yunxi had a deep friendship with Rong Jingyang. Getting close to Qin Yunxi was equivalent to knowing what Rong Jingyang was up to.
Understanding the implications, Caroline did not hesitate. She took out her phone and sent a message to Qin Yunxi:
"Mr. Qin, would you have time for a cup of tea?"
