Finished?
Du Ruoxin looked at the two cases of red wine. Without hesitation, she walked over, picked up a bottle, and poured herself a full glass.
Before drinking, she said solemnly, "After I finish this, you'll really let me go?"
Rong Jingyang nodded, "Mm."
Du Ruoxin extended her hand to him, "Before I drink, give me your phone first. I need to make a call."
Klara's "Help me" had truly unsettled her.
This time, Rong Jingyang handed over his phone without any fuss.
Du Ruoxin quickly dialed Cristiano's number, "Brother, Sister-in-law is in danger. Where are you?"
Cristiano's blue eyes darkened, "Mm?"
Du Ruoxin said urgently, "I'll need half an hour to get out. Can you go look for Sister-in-law?"
Cristiano's eyes brightened, "You're coming to see me?"
Du Ruoxin: "..."
His focus wasn't on whether she was coming to see him, but on the fact that Klara was in danger!
Du Ruoxin paused. It was really not the time to argue these details with Cristiano. She nodded, softly replied "Mm," and said, "Go find Sister-in-law quickly. If I can't reach her later, I won't come to find you."
Cristiano hooked his lips, "Okay."
Xin'er was coming to find him!
This was great!
After ending the call, Cristiano called his subordinate – take Klara to the hospital.
If Klara could bring Du Ruoxin back to his side, he wouldn't mind letting the child stay a little longer.
Even...
As if thinking of something, excitement flickered in Cristiano's eyes!
Klara heard the conversation between the man in black and Cristiano and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
As expected, her premonition was not wrong.
To stay by Cristiano's side, to have his child, Du Ruoxin was her only hope.
A year ago, Cristiano suddenly changed, becoming gentler, more gentlemanly, and sporting a charming smile.
After inquiring, Klara learned that Du Ruoxin had been found – the sister he held dear to his heart.
But she also learned that Du Ruoxin was already married.
Anyone with eyes could see clearly that Cristiano was madly in love with his adopted sister.
Klara knew she had never entered his heart. Schemes of rivalry, tantrums, and making scenes were out of the question.
She had no right to question Cristiano, let alone the courage to interfere in his romantic affairs.
She just, she just wanted to gain as much benefit as possible.
So, as soon as she found out she was pregnant, Klara went from being lost and scared to deciding to come to E City to try her luck with Du Ruoxin.
Hope –
That the child could be saved.
This was her only chance at motherhood.
After finishing her call, Du Ruoxin returned to Rong Jingyang's side, picked up her wine glass, and looked at him again, "Mr. Rong, you can't go back on your word."
If this domineering man reneged on his promise, she—
Would either flip out or climb over the wall.
Hmph!
Rong Jingyang raised an eyebrow, "Mm."
With over a dozen bottles of red wine, she was afraid she'd get drunk before finishing them all. Why would he need to go back on his word?
He could just carry her to bed.
However, soon, Rong Jingyang's expression grew darker and darker.
Du Ruoxin rolled up her sleeves, placed a foot on the chair, placed a hand on her hip, and downed two bottles in one go.
Was she—
A pig?
Drinking wine as if it were plain water?
Wouldn't her brain get drunk? Could her body handle it?
When Du Ruoxin finished the third bottle and was about to start the fourth, Rong Jingyang said sternly, "Get out!"
What?
Du Ruoxin looked at the man with blurry eyes. She had only drunk three bottles, why had he agreed to let her leave already?
Rong Jingyang didn't even look at her, controlling his wheelchair to move indoors, his low voice laced with a chilling tone, "You've been drinking. Have Mu Li drive you."
