He’s leaving?
Did Feng Lin Wan call?
Listening to Rong Jing Yang’s agreement, Ai Wei’s face turned a little pale, but she still said knowingly, “I can take care of myself. You should go, don’t make your mother worry.”
Rong Jing Yang handed the bowl and chopsticks to Ai Wei, “Eat. I’m not leaving.”
—
“Woof woof woof—”
Da Mao barked at Du Ruo Xin, who had occupied his territory.
Du Ruo Xin’s eyelids twitched, and her nose felt a sting, “Da Mao, are you also disgusted with me?”
Da Mao seemed to sense his mistress was in a bad mood. He leaped up abruptly and jumped into her arms, “Woof woof woof—”
Then he stuck out his tongue to lick Du Ruo Xin’s face.
Du Ruo Xin was covered in slobber as she dodged, petting his head, “Alright, alright, I know you’re the best boy, and you won’t be disgusted with me.”
The woman and dog played for a while. Du Ruo Xin sat on the ground, resting her chin on Da Mao, stubbornly saying, “I didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Da Mao, someone was coveting my husband, and I hit her. Where did I go wrong?”
“Why should Rong Jing Yang punish me?”
“If he thinks I’m embarrassing the Rong family, then he shouldn’t make me unhappy, shouldn’t be fickle, and shouldn’t flirt around.”
“Why—”
Just then, her phone rang, interrupting her monologue.
Du Ruo Xin took out her phone and saw it was her elder brother calling. She hesitated for a moment before sliding to answer.
“Where are you?” came Chris Tino’s deep and pleasant voice from the other end of the line.
Du Ruo Xin straightened her back, put away her dejected mood, and deliberately pretended to be happy, “At home. I returned to E City today and am playing with Dou Dou.”
Chris Tino: “…”
Xin’er, don’t think I don’t know Rong Jing Yang made you cry again.
Du Ruo Xin didn’t hear her brother speak and felt inexplicably flustered, “Brother, where are you?”
Chris Tino’s eyes darkened, “Just arrived in E City. Come out and have dinner with me.”
Du Ruo Xin’s heart skipped a beat, “Uh, well, I might not be able to. I…”
Chris Tino coldly interrupted, “I want to see you within ten minutes.”
Du Ruo Xin became even more flustered, “No, I… Hello, hello…”
Staring at the hung-up phone screen, she felt like crying but had no tears.
What should she do? Should she go see her elder brother?
As Du Ruo Xin was anxiously wondering, her phone rang again. It was her mother-in-law calling.
She pressed the answer button and called out, “Mommy.” Then she heard Feng Lin Wan say, “Ruo Xin, you and Jing Yang should come back to Crescent Bay tonight. Dou Dou insisted on waiting to see you as soon as he heard you were back, or he wouldn’t sleep.”
Du Ruo Xin’s face fell, “I—”
Feng Lin Wan interrupted, “I’ve already called Jing Yang. Are you two together?”
Du Ruo Xin: “…”
Rong Jing Yang was with Ai Wei. She didn’t know how affectionate they were right now.
So annoying!
She instantly felt like she couldn’t breathe.
Feng Lin Wan waited for a long time without hearing from her daughter-in-law, and couldn’t help but raise her voice, “You’re not together?”
Du Ruo Xin weakly replied, “Mm.”
Feng Lin Wan immediately exploded, “This unfilial son! I’ll deal with him! This is outrageous!”
What bad karma did she accumulate in her past life to give birth to such a scoundrel son?
She really wished she could be remolded!
Du Ruo Xin listened to her mother-in-law’s furious and formidable words. She had just said a few words, “No, I…” and then heard the dial tone.
She stared blankly at the phone screen, blinking.
If her mother-in-law knew that Rong Jing Yang had locked her in the dog kennel to vent his anger for his mistress, she wondered…
Would Rong Jing Yang get beaten?
Du Ruo Xin looked around and decided that no matter who came, she wasn’t leaving tonight. She was staying here!
