The night was soft with a gentle breeze, and lyrical music played inside the car.
Seeing that the little girl had fallen asleep, Caroline said, "Grace didn't explain clearly, only said you two argued because of a third party?"
"What, does Rong Jingyang really have other women in his heart?"
Du Ruoxin bit her lower lip lightly, looking down at her daughter, her mood utterly dismal.
"Did he cheat?" Caroline asked again.
Du Ruoxin gently stroked her daughter's forehead, sadness deepening in her eyes, "Should he have?"
"What do you mean 'should'? Is it your intuition that he cheated, or did you find evidence?"
Du Ruoxin took a difficult breath, "Intuition." She paused, a hint of mockery in her tone, "Which man who cheats would tell his wife?"
Especially since Rong Jingyang had to be a filial son and maintain the image of a "happy" marriage, he would be even less likely to tell her.
"Uh..."
Caroline's expression stiffened slightly.
It was over, it was over. Once a woman has a hunch, it's nine times out of ten close to the truth!
In fact, Caroline hoped Du Ruoxin and Rong Jingyang's marriage was happy, because then she wouldn't have the guilt of betraying a friend when she slept with Cristiano.
So she couldn't show even a hint of agreement.
"Intuition, you know, sometimes it's not always accurate," Caroline advised. "Since there's no evidence, just assume he didn't cheat."
"First, tell me, do you want to give up your marriage with Rong Jingyang?"
No.
Suddenly remembering something, Du Ruoxin looked up, "Caroline, go to the pharmacy."
"What's wrong?" Caroline asked.
"Buy birth control pills."
With Rong Jingyang wavering like this, she couldn't get pregnant.
If, after a year, when their agreement expired, he still wanted one wife at home and several lovers outside, she would turn and leave without hesitation.
Even if she loved him dearly, she would let go.
At that time, Du Ruoxin didn't want to run away pregnant; that would be extremely irresponsible to the child.
Caroline: "..."
After navigating to the pharmacy and buying the medicine, Du Ruoxin swallowed it with water and said, "We have an agreement. One year. If we aren't compatible, he agrees to a divorce."
"A year," Caroline murmured. "Alright, I'll be in E City recently, I'll help you think it through properly."
...
Back home, Du Ruoxin carried her daughter to bed.
She also took a bath, put on her pajamas, and slept beside her daughter.
But for some reason, she always felt like someone was watching her in the darkness.
Du Ruoxin wanted to open her eyes, but couldn't. Her eyelids felt as if they were sewn shut with needle and thread.
...
The next day, Du Ruoxin woke up naturally according to her biological clock.
She got up and went into the bathroom to wash. Before she could finish her personal hygiene, Rong Doudou started crying.
She quickly helped her daughter get dressed.
"Mommy, are we still going to the fashion show today?" the little girl asked groggily.
Du Ruoxin shook her head, "Not today. Doesn't Doudou want to go surfing? Mommy will take you to the beach, okay?"
The little girl was overjoyed, "Okay."
After the mother and daughter finished their personal hygiene, they put on casual parent-child outfits and went downstairs hand in hand.
However, Du Ruoxin's steps faltered when she saw the tall, imposing figure sitting in the living room.
Rong Jingyang?
It was almost nine o'clock, why was he still at home?
At this time, he had already left, hadn't he?
Thinking of Caroline's words, Du Ruoxin walked straight to the dining room without looking sideways, treating him as if he were invisible.
Rong Jingyang: "..."
She didn't see him, a living person?
Seeing the back of her head held high, he commanded, "Du Ruoxin, you are not allowed to sign Doudou to any company."
"My Rong family's beloved pearl is not allowed to enter the entertainment industry!"
