Du Ruoxin felt heartbroken and tried to comfort the little girl for a long time, but it couldn't stop her crying.
Finally, Feng Linwan said hurriedly, "Ruoxin, don't worry. You and Jing Yang should get along well. I'll take care of Doudou," and hung up the phone.
Du Ruoxin: "—"
Her chest felt as uncomfortable as a flattened electrocardiogram.
Alas—
With a heavy sigh, Du Ruoxin, her face darkened, prepared to find Rong Jingyang to settle the score. Just then, the phone rang again.
She thought it was her mother-in-law calling again, so she quickly picked up her phone.
Rong Cheng?
"Ah!" She slapped her forehead abruptly, remembering the hotel matters.
Because Rong Jingyang wouldn't allow her to leave the police station, the discussion that was supposed to happen last night was postponed to this morning.
And then...
She was "kidnapped" by Rong Jingyang again this morning!
Du Ruoxin quickly slid to the green button and put it to her ear.
"Madam, I've arrived. When will you be here? I'll notify them to start the meeting," Rong Cheng said.
Du Ruoxin said a little sheepishly, "Well, I might not be able to come to the company. Rong Jingyang asked me to go to India with him, and I'm on the plane now."
Rong Cheng: "..."
Du Ruoxin: "We can have a video conference later, can we? I'll use Rong Jingyang's computer."
Rong Cheng: "Okay, we can."
What else could he say besides agreeing?
However, he was quite surprised that Du Ruoxin, even though she was gone, didn't abandon the hotel's affairs.
Du Ruoxin put away her phone and walked out of the bathroom.
In her mind, the miserable sight of her daughter crying incessantly was still replaying.
She wanted to curse Rong Jingyang a few times, to argue with him...
But, seeing the man lying tiredly on the seat, with his eyes closed to rest, her steps halted.
Mu Li stood beside her at some point and whispered, "Madam, Master hasn't slept for two days and one night."
Hmm?
A trace of pity flickered in her heart.
She knew how difficult it was for Rong Jingyang to manage the entire group. She had always known, which was why when they first got married, she had been considerate of him, doted on him, and yielded to him everywhere.
As a result, she retreated step by step, and eventually, their marriage soured.
"Alas," Du Ruoxin sighed in her heart.
Her footsteps unconsciously became lighter.
How could she bear to truly argue with the man she loved most in her life?
It was just that on one side was her husband, and on the other was her daughter who needed her company. She really, sometimes, didn't know how to balance it.
If she stayed by Rong Jingyang's side, she would inevitably fail her daughter and miss her growth.
If she stayed to take care of her daughter, the conflict with Rong Jingyang would only deepen...
Du Ruoxin furrowed her brows, sighed again, and returned to the man's side.
Unable to help herself, she gently held his hand, their fingers interlaced.
[Rong Jingyang, when you wake up, we'll discuss the child's education.]
She didn't want to fail her daughter, nor did she want a rift in their marital relationship.

Upon waking up early, Caroline habitually called the front desk to order breakfast first, then went to the bathroom to wash up.
She applied delicate makeup, put on clothes she designed, and her breakfast had just arrived.
She opened the door.
A large bouquet of roses assailed her with fragrance.
It was from Qin Yunxi.
Caroline asked the waiter to place the flowers by the floor-to-ceiling window, without looking at them further.
While eating breakfast, she checked her phone—Sister Xin had sent a message?
"Dear, Rong Jingyang only allows advertisements to be broadcast in Country A, for a period of 15 days."
"Pfft—"
Hearing Du Ruoxin's voice message, Caroline sprayed the milk she was drinking all over.
What the heck!
Only broadcast in Country A, and for only 15 days????
Are they kidding me!
Sister!
Before you got married, you were a prominent figure, leading the way in all industries, an absolute powerhouse!
How could you be so timid with a man?
Stand up!
"But don't worry, I won't let you lose out."
"Hee hee hee..."
A burst of sinister laughter, like a demonic sound, echoed through the hotel via the speaker.
