"Beep, beep, beep—"
The signal rang, only to hang up automatically with no answer.
【What's going on? What is Rong Jingyang doing?】
He wouldn't forget his promise to his daughter, would he?
Suddenly, Du Ruoxin remembered the message she sent to Rong Jingyang at noon. He still hadn't replied!
She had been busy all day and hadn't had time to check.
Thinking about it now, for some reason, her heart felt a little flustered.
An uncatchable fluster.
Taking a deep breath, Du Ruoxin dialed Lin Xuanyao's mobile number.
"Beep, beep, beep—"
The signal rang, still no answer.
She: "!!!"
Her eyelids twitched involuntarily, and Du Ruoxin felt an unspeakable sense of oppression.
Cristiano, seeing her pale face, asked knowingly, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Du Ruoxin shook her head, "No."
Putting away the bad premonition, she forced a smile at her elder brother, "Rong Jingyang is busy. I'll find the location and send it to him."
Opening an app, Du Ruoxin began searching for dining spots.
Recently, multi-functional ecological farmhouses with amusement facilities, camping, fruit picking, and dining were popular.
Du Ruoxin chose one with the highest online reviews.
Since it was a weekday, there were few people, and no reservation was needed. They could go directly.
After picking up Rong Doudou from kindergarten, the group headed to the farmhouse.
Seeing her uncle pick her up, Rong Doudou looked at her mother with some disappointment, "Mommy, where's Daddy?"
"Daddy made a pinky promise with me and promised not to break his word."
Du Ruoxin hugged her daughter and comforted her, "Daddy is busy. He'll come directly to the farmhouse later."
Only then did Rong Doudou show a hint of a smile, "Okay."
Cristiano felt a little hurt, feeling disliked by the little one.
He reached into his pocket, took out a box, and presented it to her, "A little gift for you. Want to see?"
Rong Doudou immediately smiled at him, "Thank you, Uncle."
Opening the gift box, a sparkling blue diamond flashed, dazzling and brilliant.
Du Ruoxin: "—"
This was no small gift!
It was worth at least several hundred million!
Pfft—
"Wow, it's so beautiful," Rong Doudou exclaimed.
Cristiano asked, "Do you like it? These stones come in blue, yellow, pink, red, white, and green. Which color do you like best, Doudou?"
Rong Doudou tilted her head and asked curiously, "Are they all this beautiful?"
Cristiano: "Yes, all beautiful, all lovely."
Rong Doudou: "Then I want them all. A dozen of each color."
Du Ruoxin: ￣□￣｜｜
If she let these two chat any longer, she suspected her brother would gift her daughter a few mines.
"A dozen?" Cristiano was amused by the little girl's words, "Hahahaha, okay~"
Du Ruoxin interrupted, "Not okay!"
"No!"
"Don't be silly!"
Du Ruoxin looked at her daughter with a solemn expression, "Doudou, these beautiful stones are magic stones. You're still young, you can't use them yet."
"Can Mommy keep them safe for you?"
"When you grow up, when you're 18, Mommy will give them back to you."
Rong Doudou knew the magic of "magic stones." From a young age, her mother and grandmother had taught her that children shouldn't play with "magic stones" carelessly, as it could trigger magic with unforeseen consequences.
So, the little girl obediently placed the blue diamond in her mother's palm, "Okay."
Du Ruoxin put it in her bag and glanced at her brother, silently conveying—Brother, don't give Doudou any more diamonds. She doesn't understand.
Cristiano, however, stared at her with a half-smile, as if very pleased with her "silent communication."
"Hahahaha—"
He burst into laughter again.
Rong Doudou looked at her uncle laughing inexplicably and whispered in her mother's ear, "Mommy, did I activate some magic and press Uncle's laughter nerve?"
Du Ruoxin: "..."
She was defeated by her daughter's innocence.
She couldn't help but kiss her precious daughter, "Yes, that's why you can't play with them carelessly anymore."
Rong Doudou nodded seriously, "Okay!"
The mother and daughter's words were not quiet. Rong Doudou thought she was whispering, but everyone in the car could hear them.
Cristiano laughed even more unrestrainedly.
It was so good.
He and she would not have children.
But with Rong Doudou, this regret could be compensated.
Cristiano followed their lead, laughing while putting on an innocent and pitiful expression, "What should I do? Doudou hurt me."
"If I keep laughing like this today and can't stop, will I get sick?"
Rong Doudou looked worried, "Ah?"
Du Ruoxin: ... Why is her brother joining in the mischief?
Cristiano reached out, "Come here, Uncle wants a hug. You quickly help me release the pressure point, and then I won't laugh anymore."
