Du Ruoxin became a difficult person to get out of bed.
When her daughter pestered her to wake up, drink milk, and be held by Mommy, she regretted not going to bed earlier last night.
Wuwuwu—
Not fully awake, her head ached terribly.
Why was pregnancy this time so painful, and she could never get enough sleep.
"Go find your Daddy, let Mommy sleep a bit longer, okay?" Du Ruoxin mumbled drowsily, covering her head.
Rong Doudou remembered the roses Daddy gave her yesterday and hadn't received yet, so she happily said, "Okay."
Climbing from Mommy's body to the head of the bed, she picked up her phone, grabbed Mommy's thumb to unlock the screen, and then very skillfully dialed Daddy's number.
She knew Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma's phone numbers by heart.
"Beep, beep—"
Rong Jingyang had already woken up early and was doing his rehabilitation exercises when his phone suddenly rang: "Rong Jingyang, your wife is calling, answer it quickly."
"She'll be sad if you don't answer."
"One, two, three, here we go."
"Such a passionate Aries, so kind, so abstract, such a perfect her, yet her whereabouts are unknown, my heart is so empty, almost losing its shape..."
Du Ruoxin?
She was calling him?
The man's heart skipped two beats.
Lin Xuanyao was also very excited, Madam, it's Madam!
Calling Master so early, is there something urgent?
He rushed over like lightning, picked up the phone, and handed it to Rong Jingyang just as quickly.
Rong Jingyang looked at the word "Wife" displayed on the screen, and a ripple appeared in his dark pupils.
He slid the screen open, his deep voice tinged with a hint of pleasure, "Du Ruoxin?"
From the other end of the signal came a sweet, soft, and adorable little girl's voice, "Daddy, Mommy is sleeping, come quickly and help me get dressed."
Rong Jingyang: "..."
Du Ruoxin, drowsy from sleep: "..."
Did she just hear some inappropriate words?
Rong Doudou habitually pressed the speakerphone and continued, "I'm hungry. When you come in, bring my milk too, and the flowers. I really, really love the roses you gave me yesterday. Daddy, bring a bottle in, I want to put it in my room so I can see it every time I open my eyes."
Rong Jingyang: "..."
Hearing the little girl's increasingly excited voice, Du Ruoxin, who was startled awake: "..."
What a disaster!
How could the little ancestor be calling Rong Jingyang!
Hang up, hang up!
Quickly hang up!
"Okay," the man's slightly smiling voice came from the speaker, "Doudou, are you and Mommy sleeping alone?"
Rong Doudou: "Yes."
Rong Jingyang: "Where is Uncle?"
Rong Doudou: "Uncle is sleeping alone, he's a boy, he can't—"
Hearing her daughter explaining to Rong Jingyang about who she was sleeping with, Du Ruoxin shivered. She snatched the phone and hung up.
"Rong Doudou, who allowed you to call Rong Jingyang!"
As if touching the deepest wound in her heart, she couldn't control her emotions and roared with a dark face.
Rong Doudou was scolded by Mommy, her mouth turned down, and she cried out, "Waaah!"
So wronged.
So sad.
Mommy doesn't like her.
"Wuwuwuwu..."
The little girl cried her heart out.
Du Ruoxin: "—"
Her mind went blank. Watching her daughter's big tears fall one by one, the fire in her heart suddenly extinguished.
Du Ruoxin cursed herself for being crazy, how could she vent her anger on her daughter?
"I'm sorry, Doudou, Mommy was wrong." Du Ruoxin hugged her daughter, feeling both guilty and regretful. "Mommy shouldn't have spoken so loudly, Mommy is a bad person, can you forgive Mommy?"
Alas!
It was just using her phone to call Rong Jingyang.
Why did she make her daughter cry?
Du Ruoxin felt like she was a demon just now, definitely possessed by a ghost, which was why she threw such a big tantrum.
"Doudou, Mommy was wrong, can you forgive Mommy?"
Du Ruoxin comforted her daughter for a long time before Rong Doudou gradually stopped crying. Tears still hung in her eyes, and she said pitifully, "Mommy is bad."
"Mommy clearly told me to call Daddy."
"And you scolded me, hiccup~"
Du Ruoxin: ... Did she? Did she say that? Why didn't she remember?
"Does Mommy not like Daddy..."
As she spoke, Rong Doudou was about to cry sadly again.
Du Ruoxin's heart trembled with fear, and she quickly diverted her daughter's attention, "No, no, Doudou, don't overthink things."
"Is Doudou hungry? Let's go, let's get up and wash up."
"Mommy will tie a beautiful and pretty princess hairstyle for you today, okay?"
—
Rong Jingyang stared at the screen of the hung-up phone, the little girl's sweet and adorable voice still echoing in his ears.
Du Ruoxin...
Hung up so urgently...
Could it be that—
She felt guilty?
Were she and Cristiano just acting for him?
The smile on the man's lips gradually widened.
Reaching his eyes.
After exercising in a great mood and having breakfast, he took the roses he made himself and went to find his daughter.
Cristiano's men did not stop him, and he easily entered the villa.
But he didn't see Du Ruoxin, nor did he see Cristiano.
Only Rong Doudou sat quietly and obediently in the living room, hugging her toys.
"Daddy." As soon as Rong Doudou saw her Daddy, she ran into his arms.
Rong Jingyang hugged his daughter, "Why is Doudou alone?"
Where is Mommy?
Rong Doudou tilted her head and chattered, "Mommy went to work, and Uncle also went to work."
"Uncle said I can play with Daddy all day today."
Rong Jingyang: "—"
Perhaps Du Ruoxin didn't go to work, but deliberately avoided him, not wanting to see him?
It doesn't matter.
He wasn't in a hurry for a day or two anyway.
"Okay."
Taking his daughter, Rong Jingyang left.
Du Ruoxin stood upstairs, watching Rong Jingyang's car drive away.
She knew he would come, so while her daughter was eating breakfast, she quietly hid, letting her elder brother talk to Doudou.
The car drove further and further away until it disappeared.
Du Ruoxin withdrew her gaze and sighed softly.
"Alas—"
Rong Jingyang's voice on the phone this morning lingered in her ears.
He—
Thinking of the menopause date she mentioned at the hospital, and the doctor's diagnosis of her pregnancy—53 days, her scalp tingled.
At that time, she was too scared and didn't think much about it, honestly stating the time.
Who knew Rong Jingyang would appear?
He must know now—the child is his.
Could it be that Rong Jingyang also doubted her and Cristiano's "marriage"?
What to do?
Headache!
Du Ruoxin lay listlessly on the bed, tossing and turning, her heart uneasy.
Suddenly, a thought arose in her mind.
