Du Ruoxin was intoxicated.
She had only had one glass of red wine, yet she felt as if she were floating in the sky.
It was like returning to the first time she kissed Rong Jingyang, that heart-fluttering, intoxicating feeling.
As the two were locked in a passionate kiss, screams suddenly erupted.
"Ah!"
The nanny, startled, dropped the tray in her hands. "A snake! A huge snake!"
Du Ruoxin was startled by the terrified scream and quickly lifted her head from Rong Jingyang's embrace. "Ah!"
There really was a snake!
The snake had black and white scales, was dozens of centimeters long, and as thick as two or three fingers. It flicked its tongue towards her and Rong Jingyang.
"Hiss~~~"
"Hiss~~~"
Du Ruoxin yelped in fright and instinctively jumped up, pushing Rong Jingyang away as she ran!
Rong Jingyang: "—"
"Madam, don't be afraid." The butler rolled up his sleeves, his face beaming with excitement. "We'll have snake soup tonight."
Yunhu International had pest and snake control treatments annually. How could a highly venomous banded krait appear in the Rong family's yard?
Although she had doubts, the most important thing at the moment was to catch the snake!
The butler donned his anti-venom and anti-bite gear and easily caught the banded krait by its head. He proudly waved it at Du Ruoxin. "Madam, what flavor of snake soup do you prefer? Abalone and mushroom..."
"No, no, no—" Du Ruoxin shook her head. "I don't eat snake meat."
Although snake meat was tender and snake broth was delicious, she preferred to keep her distance from that slippery creature...
Du Ruoxin not only didn't eat snake meat, but she also disliked frog, silkworm pupae, pangolin, soft-shelled turtle, and so on.
Seeing that both Madam and Master looked displeased, the butler stopped talking.
The originally romantic atmosphere was completely ruined by the venomous snake.
Du Ruoxin's skin crawled with goosebumps from the fright.
"Um—what—"
As soon as she uttered two words, her phone rang. It was Clara calling.
Oh no!
She had forgotten about her sister-in-law!
Du Ruoxin picked up the phone with great shame.
—
Clara had been sitting anxiously, waiting for Du Ruoxin. She had said she was going to get fruit, but half an hour had passed, and Du Ruoxin had not returned.
Clara was a little flustered.
She stood up and searched the entire venue, but she couldn't find Du Ruoxin.
As Clara was wondering what was going on, a figure she both respected and feared appeared in her sight. Actually, it was fear.
Cristiano's cold features were contorted with ferocity. He grabbed her shoulders. "Who gave you permission to look for her!"
Clara, you'd better not have any ulterior motives, or I'll crush you like an ant.
"Ah—"
Clara felt like her shoulder was about to break. She was terrified. "No, nothing... I, I..."
Cristiano didn't listen to any explanation and struck her palm down, forcing her to kneel on the ground. "Get out of E City!"
The man's heartless and indifferent voice echoed in Clara's ears like a demon from hell.
She slumped to the ground.
No—
Don't—
"Crisino, I..." I won't leave.
She wanted to scream and beg for mercy, but her voice instantly vanished. Clara couldn't speak.
She couldn't leave E City. Once she left this land, Clara knew she would definitely lose the child.
She stumbled to her feet, suppressed her panic, and left the banquet.
As it was late, there was no one around, and the air was eerily quiet. Clara, despite wearing high heels, felt as if someone were following her.
She walked fast, he walked fast too.
She walked slow, he walked slow too.
Could it be that Cristiano had sent someone to follow her? To force her back to Europe to have an abortion?
Clara panicked and quickly took out her phone to call Du Ruoxin. "Ruoxin, help me, save me... Ah!"
