Du Ruoxin's heart was a mix of apprehension and excitement.
If she had known that a bet would make them learn all the baby-care skills so quickly and efficiently, she would have made the bet long ago.
Suddenly, she seemed to have found a way to handle Rong Jingyang!
Wahahaha—
No laughing, must hold it in!
Du Ruoxin widened her eyes, propped her face on her hands on the table, to prevent herself from bursting into laughter.
After all, at such a serious moment, a few laughs would be rather out of place.
"Rong Jingyang, come on, you must win."
Du Ruoxin murmured silently in her heart.
Watching the two men clumsily bathing and dressing the infant, though not as gently as they could, they had grasped the basic essentials.
Du Ruoxin felt deeply gratified.
When men take care of babies, participation is key. Never demand perfection, or it will lead to domestic conflict.
Only you will end up being tired.
Du Ruoxin didn't ask Rong Jingyang to be better than a professional nanny; she only asked him to participate in their child's growth.
It was enough to be a father and a husband.
As the last button was fastened, the answer was revealed.
"Clap clap clap—"
Thunderous applause filled the room.
"Old Yang, you're amazing!"
"You won!"
"Fantastic!"
Du Ruoxin's eyes crinkled into a smile. This time, she no longer suppressed her joy, her voice as clear as a lark's mingling with the applause.
Rong Jingyang's expression, however, was not good. He didn't smile despite winning the competition. Instead, with a sullen face, he grabbed her and left.
"Let's go!"
Du Ruoxin laughed so hard her stomach hurt, but she still remembered to praise her husband, "Mr. Rong, you are truly capable."
The woman's laughter didn't last long. Once in the car, Rong Jingyang cupped her chin and kissed her fiercely.
Du Ruoxin's heart leaped to her throat.
"Mmm..."
No, she had to maintain her composure.
She was still in a cold war with Rong Jingyang!
How could she be captivated by his kissing skills again?
Du Ruoxin pushed him away resolutely and moved towards the window, "Mr. Rong, I haven't compromised yet!"
The woman's sudden withdrawal caused the man's heart to momentarily freeze. What started as a punishing kiss gradually made him a little lost in it.
But that intoxication was fleeting, so fast that Rong Jingyang couldn't discern what it was, and the feeling vanished.
"Never compromise!"
Du Ruoxin's tone was strong, clearly stating her stance—she would never accept him having another woman in his heart in this lifetime!
"Sigh," the man sighed softly and pulled her into his arms, "Give me time."
"Hmm?" Du Ruoxin looked up at him.
Rong Jingyang continued, "You don't need to target her specifically; I will handle it."
Is that so?
Can you really handle Ai Wei?
Wasn't the man's statement just a delaying tactic?
Although Du Ruoxin was skeptical, she chose to believe him for the time being, "How long?"
Rong Jingyang was silent for a moment before saying, "Half a year."
Du Ruoxin frowned, "That's too long. Three months, I'll give you three months at most."
This was the limit of her tolerance for Ai Wei.
Rong Jingyang didn't bargain and agreed with an "Mm," and the two reached a consensus.
After having lunch together at a restaurant, Du Ruoxin had nothing to do. She was about to say she would accompany Rong Jingyang in the afternoon, but he said he had something to do and asked where she was going. He would drive her.
Du Ruoxin's words were blocked before they could be spoken. She felt so stifled!
But she couldn't appear idle, so she smiled and said, "Back to the company to look at design drafts."
"No need to send me. You're busy with your own things. Trevor is right over there."
Saying that, she bid farewell to Rong Jingyang, Qin Yunxi, and the others, and then got into Trevor's car.
Du Ruoxin had no intention of going to the company at all.
Yang Fei was in charge of the company, so she could be a hands-off boss.
"To the fashion exhibition," Du Ruoxin said.
"Yes." Trevor turned the steering wheel and drove towards the south of the city.
Caroline, busy with the overwhelming exhibition, saw Du Ruoxin as a savior. "Sister Xin, you've come at the perfect time."
"Quick, there's a big business deal to discuss with you!"
