Du Ruoxin emerged after buying clothes and saw Ai Wei stuffing items onto Rong Jingyang. She exclaimed, "——"
Lingering like a ghost!
Had she offended a vengeful spirit or something truly wicked?
Du Ruoxin seriously suspected that Ai Wei had installed a GPS on her and Rong Jingyang, otherwise, how could they encounter her everywhere they went?
She instantly became furious!
With a frosty expression, she approached.
She snatched the bag from Rong Jingyang and opened it to examine its contents. "Oh, Miss Ai, what are you sending my husband from so far away?"
"Let me see."
Rong Jingyang: "————"
For some reason, his left eye twitched incessantly.
Ai Wei, however, did not "sense" any danger. She smiled sweetly and said, "It's nothing too valuable, just a token of my thoughtfulness."
"Ruoxin, I hope you won't dislike it."
Du Ruoxin unwrapped the gift box and saw it was a pendant, similar to an ancient sachet. She sniffed it and commented, "Jasmine and chamomile scent, to relieve fatigue and reduce stress."
She blinked her beautiful large eyes and looked at Rong Jingyang, "Honey, have you been having trouble sleeping lately?"
Rong Jingyang couldn't fathom Du Ruoxin's thoughts at the moment. He didn't answer, merely asking, "Are the clothes bought?"
Du Ruoxin's lips curved slightly, then she turned her gaze back to Ai Wei, "It seems my husband doesn't like it."
Then, under their watchful eyes, she walked towards the trash can.
Ai Wei knew what she was about to do and quickly called out, "Ruoxin, you've misunderstood."
"The sachets are for you, Dou Dou, and for Uncle and Auntie."
"I heard Auntie hasn't been resting well. I consulted a TCM practitioner, who said embroidering a sachet and placing it under the pillow can relieve nerves."
Du Ruoxin paused, then glanced sideways at Ai Wei, "Oh? It's for my Mommy?"
She took out her phone, "Then I'll ask Mommy if she wants it?"
Sliding the screen open, Du Ruoxin put her phone away again, "Never mind. Mommy detests green tea the most. I suspect she'll be disgusted just hearing your name."
"It's a holiday, and I don't want to upset her."
Ai Wei: "——"
Rong Jingyang: "——"
Thus, the two stood like frozen sculptures, watching Du Ruoxin throw all the sachets into the trash can.
"Thump—"
As she threw them, she added, "Miss Ai, please refrain from using such tricks to gain sympathy and favor in the future."
"I'm not that familiar with you."
"My husband isn't familiar with you either."
Du Ruoxin's sarcasm and assertiveness immediately brought tears to Ai Wei's eyes, and her whole body trembled.
This scene happened to be in Rong Jingyang's sight.
Ivy clearly had good intentions...
Rong Jingyang's dark pupils narrowed slightly. "Mrs. Rong, that's enough."
Don't go too far.
Du Ruoxin received the reprimand from her husband. In the past, she would have argued with Rong Jingyang.
But not now.
She didn't want to fall into the schemer's trap and argue with Rong Jingyang again.
"Alright," Du Ruoxin flashed a perfectly flawless smile, accepting the suggestion humbly.
It wasn't just scheming women who could manage their expressions; when she was being hypocritical, no one could tell the difference.
Du Ruoxin stepped forward and nudged her husband, "Let's go."
"We still need to buy things for Mommy."
"It'll be late soon, and Mommy will worry."
Du Ruoxin completely ignored the woman with a darkened expression beside them and walked straight past her.
But how could Ai Wei let them leave just like that?
Grabbing Du Ruoxin's hand, Ai Wei said, "Ruoxin, I thought we were friends."
Du Ruoxin felt goosebumps all over her body. "Let go!"
Who the hell considered you a friend?
Don't disgust me!
Ai Wei held on, pleading pitifully, "What must I do for you to let go of your prejudice against me?"
"Do I have to kneel?"
