Stepping out of the VIP passage, the familiar faces and scenes were not of the man she wished to see.
Rong Jingyang!
You’re brushing me off again!
Du Ruoxin’s expression changed instantly. She took out her phone and angrily dialed his number.
“Ring, ring, ring—”
The signal kept ringing, but no one answered.
Du Ruoxin was furious, her mind consumed by a raging fire, she didn’t even hear Rong Cheng calling her.
Rong Jingyang, you bastard! You lied to me again!
You didn’t keep your word!
“Madam… Madam…” Rong Cheng kept calling her from behind, but Du Ruoxin paid no attention. Her long legs strode with the momentum of sweeping away a thousand troops.
“Long time no see.”
Watching her furious retreating figure, Rong Cheng silently offered his regards in his heart.
But clearly, she didn’t want to see him at all, even though he was filled with joy and thinking of her.
A fleeting shadow of gloom crossed Rong Cheng’s eyes. Immediately, he took out the remote and pressed a button.
The little white robot waiting nearby moved towards Du Ruoxin.
As he approached, the little white robot took out a bowl of chilled rice cake with extra brown sugar water from its storage space and offered it to Du Ruoxin, “Madam, please enjoy.”
I’m not eating!
If Rong Jingyang wasn’t coming, she had no appetite. Even a feast would be torture for her.
Du Ruoxin picked up the bowl and poured it directly into the trash can.
Rong Cheng: “……”
Clutching the remote, a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.
Before coming, Rong Jingyang had recorded a voice message: “Mrs. Rong, I have two surprises for you today.”
He then instructed him to play this message as soon as he saw Du Ruoxin.
But Rong Cheng didn’t do that.
He had his own selfish motives.
Besides, seeing Du Ruoxin so angry, was there even a need to play the voice message?
Rong Cheng hurried forward, “Madam, Master sent me to pick you up.”
Du Ruoxin’s back molars were trembling with anger, “Where is Rong Jingyang?”
Rong Cheng glanced at the time, “J-K Hotel.”
The summit should be over by now; it was dinner time.
Du Ruoxin’s eyelids twitched—Good for you, Rong Jingyang, you don’t come to pick me up, but who are you having fun with?!
After parting ways with Grace, Du Ruoxin got into Rong Cheng’s car and headed to the hotel.
In the car, Rong Cheng looked at the face in the rearview mirror, which was impossibly beautiful, his gaze gradually deepening, “Madam, why did you come back?”
Huh?
What did he mean?
Du Ruoxin didn’t understand. She looked up at the driver’s seat.
Rong Cheng coughed dryly, quickly composing himself, not wanting her to see through him, “I mean, Master has changed in the past year.”
Du Ruoxin: “……”
Staring blankly at the back of Rong Cheng’s head, she blinked, as if just remembering that Rong Cheng was her only friend in E City.
“Mm,” Du Ruoxin replied, not wanting to dwell on the heavy topic. She turned her gaze away, looking out the window.
But a voice in her heart stirred restlessly.
“Rong Jingyang and Ai Wei…”
What should she ask? Did they sleep together? Or how sweet and loving they were this past year without her interference?
Du Ruoxin didn’t want to know.
Since Rong Jingyang refused to divorce her, she would try harder to drive Ai Wei out of Rong Jingyang’s heart.
“Forget it, nothing worth mentioning,” Du Ruoxin said.
Rong Cheng, however, didn’t think so. Since the topic had been broached, he naturally wanted to follow it. “Madam has always had an opinion about Ai Wei, but—”
He stopped mid-sentence.
Du Ruoxin’s curiosity was successfully piqued, “What is it?”
Rong Cheng shook his head, his voice low, “It’s nothing, maybe I’m overthinking it.”
Du Ruoxin: “—”
You say half a sentence and leave the rest hanging, that’s agonizing. Can’t you just say it directly?
“What music would you like to listen to?” Rong Cheng asked.
How could Du Ruoxin be in the mood to listen to music? She was full of anger, “No need, I…”
Rong Cheng turned on the music channel and played a pure piano instrumental.
The rest of the journey was silent. They sat quietly as the scenery outside the window flashed by like fleeting clouds. Soon, the car drove into the J-K Hotel.
