In the dead of night, when all was silent, Rong Jingyang took a bath and fell asleep in bed, only to be woken by a vibration.
Groggily reaching for his phone, he saw Ivy's name on the caller ID. He paused for a moment, pressed the mute button, and rolled over to continue sleeping.
Ai Wei had a terrible nightmare, filled with mountains of bones. She was so terrified that she woke up screaming.
"Ah—"
Her heart pounded, beating so violently it felt like it would leap out of her throat.
She was scared!
Ai Wei immediately turned on the light and dialed Rong Jingyang's number.
"Ring, ring, ring..."
The call kept ringing, but no one answered.
As the ringing continued, Ai Wei began to panic.
Rong Jingyang... Rong Jingyang...
He always answered her calls, no matter how late it was. Why not today?
The feeling of losing him completely consumed Ai Wei's mind, overriding her reason.
She was in a frenzy!
No!
She couldn't lose Rong Jingyang. If she lost him, she would be driven mad by Christiano.
Nearly a million in credit loans, restricted from global high spending, her career plummeting...
She couldn't afford the price of losing him!
Ai Wei's eyes hardened with determination!
"Du Ruoxin, I will definitely force you away from Rong Jingyang!"
—
Du Ruoxin didn't sleep all night. She tossed and turned in bed, her thoughts racing. It was almost five o'clock before she finally drifted off into a daze.
As a result, the mother and daughter slept until past ten o'clock before waking up.
"Holy cow!"
Du Ruoxin scrambled out of bed, seeing the sun almost directly overhead.
"Doudou!"
Rong Doudou had already woken up, but seeing her mother still asleep, she snuggled into her mother's arms, refusing to get up.
"Mommy." Rong Doudou hugged her mother with a smile, her soft, fair little hands so tender.
Du Ruoxin picked up her daughter and quickly got out of bed. "I'm late, I'm late."
"Why didn't anyone wake me?"
She figured Uncle Liang must have seen her and Rong Jingyang return so late, between one and two in the morning, and instructed others not to disturb them.
"Mommy, it's Saturday today, so no school," Rong Doudou said in a soft voice.
Saturday?
Du Ruoxin blinked in confusion. She looked at herself, her mind hazy, not even knowing what day it was.
"Oh, it's Saturday."
Du Ruoxin slowed down and then unhurriedly began to comb her daughter's hair.
"Doudou, where do you want to play this weekend?"
"Grandma said she'd take me surfing, but I want to play with Mommy."
"Then shall we go with Grandma and Grandpa, okay?"
"Okay!"
After washing up, the mother and daughter had breakfast. Du Ruoxin intended to call her mother-in-law but unexpectedly received a call from Caroline.
"I heard you argued with Rong Jingyang again last night?" Caroline teased.
Du Ruoxin gave a wry smile. "Did Grace tell you?"
Caroline nodded. "Yes, she's worried about you."
Du Ruoxin sighed. "It wasn't really an argument, more like a cold war. He's ignoring me now, and I don't want to bother with him."
Caroline snapped her fingers. "Come see me. I guarantee he'll be so anxious he'll rush to apologize to you."
Du Ruoxin glanced at her daughter in her arms. "Okay."
After hanging up, she began to persuade Rong Doudou. "Doudou, Mommy needs to go see Aunt Isabelle for a bit. Can we go surfing later?"
Rong Doudou refused. "No, I want to play now."
Du Ruoxin held her head, feigning discomfort. "But Mommy has a headache. What if I faint if it's not treated?"
"Oh, dear..."
You can't be too forceful with children.
You have to outsmart them, reason with them, and win with intelligence.
As expected, when Rong Doudou heard her mother had a headache, her little face scrunched up with worry. She even massaged her mother's head. "Doudou doesn't want Mommy to faint."
"Let's go, let's go see Aunt Isabelle."

ps: Men are all big pig trotters. Ladies who have dated or been married know that no matter how serious the argument, he'll still sleep and eat.
Unlike women, who can't sleep and overthink when they argue.
So sometimes, getting angry with men...
Really!
It's not worth it!
We need to find a way to get back at them!
