Feng Linwan left, leaving Du Ruoxin sitting alone on the bed.
Thinking of her mother-in-law's words, her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts.
Having been married for several years, she knew Rong Jingyang's personality all too well.
But still—
How could she make him pity her?
Du Ruoxin had always doted on him, believing that Rong Jingyang was a man she had pursued with great effort. She was afraid of not giving him the best, of not being considerate or gentle enough, and of not being able to enter his heart.
She had forgotten to consider herself.
Love was always about mutual support between two people, not a one-sided battle.
What should she do?
How could she make Rong Jingyang pity her?
Du Ruoxin was at a loss.
She collapsed onto the pillow powerlessly, when suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her neck.
"Hiss—"
Du Ruoxin touched her neck. The place where Rong Jingyang had choked her was burning with pain, throbbing with each passing moment.
In an instant, sorrow washed over her, engulfing her like a storm.
That scoundrel! That dog of a man!
He had treated her so cruelly, and she—
Du Ruoxin flipped over and leaped up, her footsteps echoing like an earthquake as she stomped towards the doghouse.
She opened the door and, without a word, pushed Rong Jingyang out.
Then, standing inside the doorway, she stared at the back of his head and yelled hysterically, "I was not wrong!"
"Rong Jingyang, I was not wrong!"
*Slap!*
Du Ruoxin slammed the door shut with great force.
Someone: "————"
The moment he saw Du Ruoxin, he thought she was going to throw another tantrum, but he hadn't expected her to merely push him away and then shut herself in.
Stunned, Rong Jingyang turned his wheelchair.
As far as his eyes could see, a thick, cold solid wood door blocked his view into the room.
【Du Ruoxin…】
If she wanted to shut him out, let her.
Rong Jingyang turned and left, returning to the bedroom.
However, looking at the tear stains on the pillow that had not yet dried, his heart twinged.
—
The Rong residence was bustling with activity.
Early in the morning, a crowd of people arrived.
There was Qin Yunxi, who had come to watch the drama unfold upon hearing the news; Grace, who had come to find Du Ruoxin; Rong Jingshu, who had also heard the rumors and came to join the excitement; and colleagues who brought airport design blueprints to discuss with Du Ruoxin.
Most importantly, there was Kristino, who had stayed all night.
The house was packed, so lively it could shake the roof.
"Oh, isn't this the head of the Rothschild family?" Qin Yunxi teased. "What are you doing at the Rong residence? I thought the Rong family didn't welcome you?"
Kristino glanced at Qin Yunxi and ignored him.
He walked directly towards the doghouse.
"Whoa—"
Qin Yunxi exclaimed, "What national treasure is hidden in the Rong family's doghouse? It's surrounded by over a dozen bodyguards, layer upon layer!"
Soon, Qin Yunxi discovered that the Rong family's doghouse harbored someone even more important than a national treasure—Du Ruoxin.
*Pfft—*
Qin Yunxi spat out a mouthful of saliva in shock, coincidentally spraying it onto Grace's face.
Grace: "..."
You scumbag, your saliva is disgusting!
She had sensitive skin!
Grace stomped heavily on Qin Yunxi's foot and rushed into the bathroom.
After washing her hair and taking a shower, she emerged from the bathroom.
Rong Jingshu, unable to squeeze into the doghouse, sat in the living room, his curious eyes scanning everywhere.
Where were Dad and Mom? Still not awake?
The Rong family was in an uproar!
Suddenly, a beautiful woman, like a lotus emerging from water, caught his eye.
Seeing Grace's wet hair dripping water, Rong Jingshu quickly went to get a clean towel for her. "Here, wipe yourself."
Grace said thank you and shyly accepted the towel.
This scene was witnessed by Qin Yunxi, who had just entered the living room, preparing to go upstairs to find Rong Jingyang.
Shy? Bashful?
Grace, this irritable and extremely ugly tomboy, actually had such a demure side?
It was like a bolt from the blue!
Qin Yunxi floated over to Grace like a ghost. Seeing that Rong Jingshu was busy with other matters, he whispered, "Hey, ugly, do you like him?"
Grace shot him a look of disgust. "You're the ugly one!"
Your whole family are ugly monsters!
Qin Yunxi, are you crazy, or did you forget to take your medicine this morning?
Mr. Qin: "..."
Ahem, he was wrong just now. He shouldn't have called her ugly. Qin Yunxi quickly changed his expression. "Being ugly isn't your fault, but you're not so hideous that everyone hates you."
Grace: "—"
She really wanted to hit him.
If she weren't unable to beat him, she would have slapped him across the face.
