Grace feigned deep thought and said, "Don't you have an old saying in China, 'to fulfill others' wishes'?"
It was a rare moment of kindness from her.
It was also because Rong Jingshu didn't dislike him that she was willing to play matchmaker.
"Ai—"
Du Ruoxin put her arm around her friend's shoulder and said softly, "What I want most is to see someone cherish you."
Grace straightened her and teased, "Wouldn't he be asking for trouble?"
What kind of man would like her?
She was cold, boring, and bad-tempered. Any normal man wouldn't fall in love with her.
Except for the abnormal ones.
Du Ruoxin: "..."
With a serious expression, she said, "Darling, don't underestimate yourself. In my heart, you deserve the best."
Grace was like one of the countless unremarkable pebbles in a pile of stones. At first glance, she was utterly ordinary, but if polished carefully, she would be revealed as a rare jade.
She was genuine and willing to sacrifice everything for her friends.
It was rare to find a soulmate in life, and Du Ruoxin was very happy to have met them in her youth.
After breakfast, all the Rong family members walked to the back mountain to pay respects to their ancestors.
Because there were elders and children, the entire group walked very slowly. A journey that usually took half an hour took over an hour.
Rong Doudou, with her small arms and legs, got tired and refused to walk.
Rong Jingyang carried her all the way.
He sat in his wheelchair, holding his daughter.
Rong Doudou was full of curiosity about her surroundings, like a chirping sparrow, chattering incessantly to Rong Jingyang.
After the father-daughter bonding the previous night, their relationship had clearly improved.
Du Ruoxin felt deeply gratified.
"Daddy, the red maple leaves are so beautiful."
"I wish we had them outside our house, so I could see beautiful scenery as soon as I opened my eyes."
Rong Doudou clasped her hands together, her eyes full of longing.
Rong Jingyang dotingly said, "Okay, I'll have someone plant them for you when we get back."
Rong Doudou's eyes lit up with a smile, and she couldn't help but plant a kiss on her daddy's handsome face. "Thank you, Daddy."
The gentleman's face was covered in saliva: "—"
But he didn't wipe it off, because his daughter was asking again, "Daddy, is that a mulberry tree?"
"Grandma told me."
"Mulberry leaves can feed silkworms, and the silk spun by silkworms can be made into clothes."
"Daddy, can I raise silkworms?"
"Big Mao is about to have babies, and I want to personally make a beautiful dress for the baby."
Du Ruoxin, listening from the side, couldn't help but chuckle—she felt her daughter would grow up to be a tomboy, someone who wasn't afraid of cockroaches or snakes.
Not at all ladylike.
No good...
Du Ruoxin wanted to guide her daughter to be a noble and elegant little princess, but unexpectedly, the gentleman spoke first, "Okay."
Du Ruoxin: o(╯□╰)o
"No!" she couldn't help but refuse.
However, father and daughter looked at her simultaneously, united in their opposition, and said in unison, "Your say doesn't count."
Du Ruoxin felt ostracized, facing the protesting gazes of one large and one small pair of eyes.
Fine, the minority obeys the majority.
Unconsciously, the woman's lips curved upwards—this was the kind of family companionship she desired.
Suddenly, she felt confident and desirous of having a second, third, or even a fourth child with Rong Jingyang.
As long as he took care of them and loved the children, she was willing to expand the Rong family.
"Mommy, the minority obeys the majority," Rong Doudou announced happily.
Du Ruoxin touched her belly and said with a loving expression, "Hmph, then I need to hurry up and have another baby, or you'll always bully me."
Rong Doudou's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Mommy, are you pregnant with a baby too?"
