The man's deep voice came from inside the car, "Come in!"
"Huh?" Why did his voice sound a bit off?
Du Ruoxin slid into the car, and a strong smell of alcohol hit her. "How..."
Before she could speak, the man pulled her over and kissed her red lips with a dominant and wild passion.
Du Ruoxin: "—"
Was this a surprise, or a man's passionate advance?
She thought of Christiano taking her away, and him watching from behind.
Perhaps... he was jealous? Afraid she wouldn't come back?
Du Ruoxin felt a flutter of happiness in her heart. Even though the man wasn't gentle, even though he was a bit rough, she responded to him enthusiastically.
【Rong Jingyang, I'm not leaving.】
【I want to live with you properly, for a lifetime, never to be apart.】
Lin Xuanyao, who was driving, saw that the situation was not right and quickly got out of the car, walking far away.
Inside the car, the temperature soared rapidly.
Du Ruoxin could clearly feel Rong Jingyang losing control. He—
"Mmm~~"
Du Ruoxin moaned softly, grabbing the man's unruly hand. "Honey, let's go back to the room, okay?"
That night, both of them were wild.
Although Rong Jingyang had mobility issues with his legs, it didn't affect his functional use.
The next day, the sun rose, and sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains like gold, falling on the bed. Du Ruoxin fluttered her long eyelashes and opened her eyes.
Her gaze fell upon an incredibly handsome face.
Du Ruoxin smiled, content and infatuated.
So what if Rong Jingyang didn't love her? As long as she could look at this face, as long as he only had her by his side forever, it was enough.
Perhaps sensing her burning gaze, Rong Jingyang opened his eyes.
"Good morning, honey." Du Ruoxin rolled over and pinned him beneath her.
Then she kissed his lips, cupped his face, and declared with a happy and radiant smile, "Rong Jingyang, even if I can't win your heart, I will never let anyone else have it."
How could she let go of the husband she had pursued with so much effort?
Even if others called her foolish for forgetting her pain after her wounds healed, she wouldn't let go of his hand.
The man who was forcefully confessed to: "..."
After a moment of stunned silence, he snapped back to awareness from his hazy sleep. Rong Jingyang hooked his lips wickedly and flicked her nose. "Mmm."
This was the Du Ruoxin he knew.
Forever unable to resist his charm, forever clinging to him.
"Get up."
The man said.
A beautiful day officially began.
Du Ruoxin helped Rong Jingyang with his morning routine and took the opportunity to ask the questions that had been bothering her since yesterday. "How did Daddy agree to let you have Fengming Mountain? What did you say?"
Rong Jingyang replied, "The property deed is with Daddy. It will only be handed over to you after a hundred years."
In other words, although the property was under Du Ruoxin's name, she only had ownership, not the right to use it.
She responded with an "Oh" and sighed, "Daddy and Mommy have really gone to great lengths to help us reconcile."
Rong Jingyang responded with a noncommittal "Mmm," seemingly without further words.
Du Ruoxin pushed him out of the room. Looking at his retreating back, for some reason, perhaps due to her woman's intuition, she felt something was off about him.
He had been off since last night...
Stop!
Du Ruoxin, don't overthink things.
She pulled her wandering thoughts back. "Mr. Rong, when will you start your rehabilitation?"
Rong Jingyang: "Muli and Xuanyao will do it."
Because he often traveled, his schedule was not fixed, so he left such matters to his two subordinates.
Du Ruoxin raised her eyebrows. "Then ask Muli to teach me. From now on, I'll be responsible for your rehabilitation."
Rong Jingyang seemed not to have caught the anticipation in her voice. He said in a low tone, "Don't cause trouble."
What did she mean by causing trouble?
If Ai Wei helped him with his rehabilitation, he was happy? But if she wanted to fulfill her wifely duties, he sternly refused?
Du Ruoxin was a little unhappy, but she still said gently, "I won't interfere with anything you do."
Rong Jingyang: "..."
Not receiving an answer, Du Ruoxin patiently asked, "Okay?"
Rong Jingyang: "As you wish."
A smile bloomed on Du Ruoxin's lips. "Let's go, time for breakfast."
At that moment, the happy her could never have imagined that the anticipated beautiful future would be so quickly shattered by Rong Jingyang's own hands.
"Brother Qin, good morning." Du Ruoxin greeted Qin Yunxi with a rosy complexion.
Qin Yunxi's facial muscles twitched stiffly, his face etched with gloom.
"Tsk!" He looked resentfully at the couple, who were like young lovers. "It would have been great if you were like this yesterday!"
He strongly suspected that Grace had also tipped off Du Ruoxin.
A pair of questioning eyes shot towards the woman who was gloating.
Grace puffed out her chest. "It's no use looking at me. People's Square, bikini, pole dancing, you won't miss a single thing!"
"Are you choosing this morning, afternoon, or evening?"
Qin Yunxi: "————"
Grace saw the look of horror on his face and deliberately taunted him, "Oh, you're not going to back out, are you?"
"It's okay, from now on, if you see me, just call me 'sister,' and I'll let you off this time."
"Come on," Grace beckoned. "Call me sister."
*Pfft—*
Qin Yunxi laughed, then quickly and accurately grabbed Grace's hand and pulled her into his embrace. "You, a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair?"
He did have a sister.
Sister?
It was said that she had died in the womb before she was even born; he felt it was a pity.
Grace was suddenly enveloped by a strong male pheromone, especially with Qin Yunxi's hand holding hers.
It was so itchy!
She was allergic again!
Grace kicked Qin Yunxi. "Don't touch me!"
Qin Yunxi: ...Why did she turn hostile so quickly?
Women were such strange creatures!
Du Ruoxin had been watching the two of them bicker with a smile, but seeing Grace throw a tantrum, she quickly stepped forward, put her arm around her, and whispered as they walked, "Do you dislike Brother Qin?"
Grace thought to herself: Dislike is an understatement; aversion is more accurate.
"Brother Qin is just a bit of a playboy, but he's a decent person." She paused, then looked at her friend with a smile. "What did he do to offend you?"
Grace felt a bit uncomfortable under her gaze. "Let's eat!"
Scummy Qin—
Not only is he a playboy, holds grudges, and is petty, but he's also covered in viruses!
Du Ruoxin's gaze became even more meaningful—there's a story here, definitely a story!
Seeing her friend looking like she wanted to disappear into the ground, she decided it wasn't appropriate to press further.
Du Ruoxin decided to gossip about it later.
Breakfast ended in a very strange atmosphere.
As Du Ruoxin put down her chopsticks, about to speak, Qin Yunxi's deep voice, like a cello, reached everyone's ears.
"Nine o'clock tonight, People's Square!"
After speaking, Qin Yunxi stood up and left.
It was just a bet, how could he back out?
Staring at his retreating back, the three of them showed a unified look of astonishment. "—"
Uh, him, Qin Yunxi, the dignified heir and chairman of Qin Corporation, worth trillions, was really going to wear a bikini and dance on a pole in public?
Just thinking about his robust physique...
Hiss!
It was a visual assault!
Du Ruoxin refused to imagine it.
In the morning, after sending her daughter to school, Du Ruoxin intended to follow Rong Jingyang, but reality wouldn't allow it.
A phone call disrupted her plans.
