His throat became a little hoarse, "What game?"
Du Ruoxin smiled mischievously, "You promised me."
Yeah, her husband's temperature had risen. Du Ruoxin could clearly feel the man's nerves tightening and his muscles hardening.
Hahaha, who knew Mr. Rong was so easily provoked?
Rong Jingyang glanced at her, "Hmm?"
What had he promised her?
Du Ruoxin turned back, her affectionate eyes filled with charm, "You'll know tonight."
Rong Jingyang: "—"
Fine, as long as she wasn't bold enough to try car sex.
The two arrived at the government building.
Rong Jingyang didn't get out of the car. Du Ruoxin said she'd be back soon, not wanting him to suffer the trouble of getting in and out of the car.
Yang Fei was already waiting at the entrance, her eyes eagerly scanning the passing vehicles.
Seeing Du Ruoxin get out of the Rolls-Royce, she stepped forward, "President Du."
Du Ruoxin: "Am I late?"
Yang Fei: "No, no, you're just in time."
After entering the section chief's office, submitting all the documents, and exchanging a few pleasantries, Du Ruoxin left the government building.
Then, the couple picked up Rong Doudou from kindergarten and returned to the ancestral home.
—
Grace called Rong Jingshu, saying she was waiting for him under a paulownia tree and asked him to come quickly.
Rong Jingshu was confused upon receiving the call, but he went anyway.
However, from a distance, two women stood side by side. He immediately spotted the shy Aitaen.
A gentle, kind, yet resolute woman; he thought no man would forget her.
Aitaen had just been called away by his sister-in-law, and Grace appeared last. A trace of indescribable disappointment crossed his mind.
Did his sister-in-law assume he and Grace were a couple?
It felt like something was weighing on his heart, but Rong Jingshu didn't seek an explanation from Du Ruoxin.
"What is it?" he walked towards them, but his gaze was fixed on Aitaen.
Grace took Aitaen's hand and asked, "She likes you, do you like her?"
Rong Jingshu: "..."
So direct?
Hearing Grace's bold question, Aitaen was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground.
It was her business if she had feelings for him, but to say it out loud—
What if he didn't like her?
How awkward would that be!
"I... I..."
Aitaen wanted to speak, but her throat felt as if something was stuck, preventing her from uttering a word.
Especially as time passed, seconds, minutes, "forever" waiting for Rong Jingshu's answer, she wanted to break free from Grace and run home!
Hide!
It was the first time she liked someone, only to be rejected.
Sob sob sob—
She really wanted to cry!
"Mmm..." Rong Jingshu looked at the little woman who was staring down intently, her face blushing to the roots of her neck, and a pleased smile touched his lips.
So, he wasn't the only one who experienced love at first sight.
Grace's facilitation made the heavy stone in his heart suddenly fall away.
"Thank you."
Rong Jingshu looked at Aitaen affectionately, then said to Grace.
Grace understood and returned a friendly smile, "You're welcome."
Handing Aitaen over to Rong Jingshu, she wisely turned and left.
Aitaen kept her head down the entire time. When she heard Rong Jingshu say "thank you," her entire heart collapsed.
He didn't like her, he didn't like her...
She was humiliated!
Aitaen turned and ran!
However, a large hand pulled her back.
Rong Jingshu embraced Aitaen from behind, lowered his head, and whispered hoarsely in her ear, "Besides my heart, where else do you want to go?"
Huh?
What did he say?
The moment she was held by the man, Aitaen's brain shut down, completely losing the ability to think.
Rong Jingshu turned the stiff woman around, held her arms, and asked, "I'm a police officer, often on missions, and I can't be with you every day. Are you willing?"
Ah?
What was he saying?
Aitaen felt the man's breath and hormones up close for the first time, still in a daze.
Rong Jingshu: ...Why won't she look at me?
He lifted her chin, making her look directly at him, and continued, "You are in India, and I am in China. Can you accept this distance?"
If we're going to talk, let's talk seriously, not for a few days, then leave, game over.
