Hearing her daughter Duoduo crying in pain but still apologizing and helping her, Du Ruoxin's heart instantly broke into tears.
For some reason, ever since giving birth to Dou Dou, she had become very emotional.
When her daughter was sick, in pain, or sad, her tear ducts were easily triggered.
Alas…
She wondered if all women became like her after becoming mothers.
Du Ruoxin looked at Rong Jingyang, her throat a little choked, "Mr. Rong?"
Rong Jingyang had not expected his daughter to say these things. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Daddy doesn't blame Mommy. Is Dou Dou feeling better?"
Rong Dou Dou: "Mm."
Du Ruoxin rarely saw Rong Jingyang so concerned about his daughter. She couldn't help but place Dou Dou in his arms, "Dou Dou, Daddy will hold you for a bit, okay?"
"Mommy's arm hurts."
Rong Dou Dou clung tightly to her mother, refusing to let go. "No."
Du Ruoxin: "—"
She couldn't even promote their father-daughter relationship!
She had no choice but to hold her cub tightly like a kangaroo mother. Fortunately, Dou Dou wasn't heavy.
Looking up, she met Caroline's worried eyes.
Du Ruoxin said, "You should go back. Dou Dou is fine."
Caroline was extremely self-blaming. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have bought so much ice cream."
Du Ruoxin: "Don't say that. How could I blame you?"
"No child grows up without facing any difficulties."
Although it pained her to see her daughter cry, and she wished she could bear the pain for her, Du Ruoxin was not unreasonable enough to blame others.
She believed that neither her elder brother nor Caroline would want Dou Dou to be sick.
"I…" Caroline was still self-reproaching.
Especially seeing Dou Dou cry so miserably and Sister Xin crying along with her, she felt even more distressed.
"Alright, alright," Du Ruoxin, afraid her friend would not be able to sleep from guilt that night, comforted her, "Dou Dou likes Princess Cici. Why don't you buy her one tomorrow?"
"She'll be very happy."
Caroline: "Okay."
Let alone one, she would buy a whole house full.
Kristino brought out the medicine and, seeing Du Ruoxin's empty hands, casually tossed it to Rong Jingyang.
Rong Jingyang: "—"
Damn it!
No manners!
Du Ruoxin, knowing her elder brother and Rong Jingyang didn't get along, quickly carried Dou Dou towards the parking lot. "Brother, let's go."
"Caroline, I'll come find you tomorrow."
After leaving the hospital and on the way back to Cloud Lake International, Du Ruoxin didn't speak to Rong Jingyang. She was busy comforting her daughter.
After taking the medicine, Rong Dou Dou's stomach ache subsided, and she stopped crying.
By the time they got home, she was already fast asleep like a little pig.
Du Ruoxin couldn't bear to wake her daughter to wash up. She directly carried her to bed and helped her wash her face and wipe her hands and feet.
"Goodnight, my darling."
Kissing her daughter, Du Ruoxin tiptoed out of the children's room.
"Where is Young Master?" she asked the butler.
The butler respectfully replied, "In the garden."
Du Ruoxin walked towards the garden.
On the seaside at night, a gentle breeze blew, mixed with the lingering heat from the day's sun, yet carrying a hint of coolness.
Rong Jingyang was on the phone. Unsure of what the other person was saying, his voice remained very low.
Du Ruoxin walked up to him and sat down beside him.
"Okay, you can come back." After finishing, Rong Jingyang looked at Du Ruoxin, "Rong Cheng is returning from Australia. Do you want me to bring anything back?"
Rong Cheng?
She hadn't seen him in a long time.
He was considered her only friend in E City.
"No need," Du Ruoxin shook her head. She lacked nothing.
Rong Jingyang put away his phone.
Du Ruoxin stepped forward, sat on his lap, and wrapped her arms around his neck, saying, "Husband, I need to discuss something with you."
Rong Jingyang's voice was hoarse, "Mm?"
Du Ruoxin said coquettishly, "Dou Dou wants to shoot commercials, and I've accepted an endorsement deal for her."
The man's deep pupils narrowed slightly. "Cancel it!"
Du Ruoxin continued to act spoiled, "I can't, I've already discussed it with them, and it can't be canceled."
Rong Jingyang's brows furrowed tightly. His tone was forceful and irrefutable, "No matter the penalty fee, I'll pay it!"
