Rong Jingyang’s deep, dark eyes remained in a state of stagnation.
He didn’t understand… couldn’t comprehend…
What was Ai Wei’s purpose in doing this?
Thinking of her “kind” excuses for his mother, of how she deliberately blamed Aunt Zhou for acting on her own, Rong Jingyang’s pupils darkened.
Ai Wei framed his mother because she knew he wouldn’t verify such “minor matters” with her.
Therefore, he would compensate her on his mother’s behalf, feeling guilty towards her.
Because of guilt…
And then?
What did Ai Wei want?
“You believe me.”
“I was forced too!”
Ai Wei’s flustered, clumsy explanations made Rong Jingyang raise an eyebrow and ask coldly, “Forced by whom?”
“I…” Ai Wei stammered for a long time, thinking and rethinking, but couldn’t utter another word.
Suddenly, she sobbed uncontrollably.
Every time she cried, every time she appeared helpless and wronged, Rong Jingyang’s heart would soften.
Ai Wei’s tears fell like pearls. “Auntie… Auntie doesn’t like me. She made me take off my clothes in front of so many people…”
“And… and she told Aunt Zhou to search my house.”
“Saying she wanted to… to take away all the gifts you gave me.”
“I…”
“I was scared.”
Ai Wei sobbed, her cries growing louder.
She knew that if she couldn’t explain herself clearly today, no, this situation couldn’t be explained at all, it would only get worse.
Since explanation was impossible, she could only try to make Rong Jingyang understand her actions, sympathize with her, and forgive her little scheme.
With her direction set and goal clear, Ai Wei mustered her courage and shouted through her tears, “Rong Jingyang, I like you!”
“I’m afraid of losing you!”
“I live in constant trepidation every day, living in fear.”
“I…”
“Wuwuwuwu…”
Ai Wei cried inconsolably, her sorrowful appearance piercing the softest parts of people’s hearts.
Especially when the bodyguard saw his young master’s stern face gradually soften, he knew it was bad.
His wife had asked him to guard here, not to listen to the scheming woman complain.
The bodyguard’s voice boomed, “Miss Ai Wei, Madam wants me to ask you one question.”
Ai Wei’s eyes were tear-filled, and her heart skipped a beat.
For some reason, she had a premonition of something ominous.
Don’t listen, don’t listen, she didn’t want to hear.
“You’re acting so passionately, so desperately, are you trying to tell Young Master that Madam is a wicked woman?”
The bodyguard’s words were like a poisoned arrow, piercing Rong Jingyang’s heart.
Wicked woman?
Is that how Ai Wei saw his mother? Rong Jingyang’s expression turned extremely grim.
“No! I didn’t!” Ai Wei vehemently denied it. “I never thought that…”
The bodyguard interrupted again, “But you did.”
“No! No!” Ai Wei frantically grabbed Rong Jingyang, her tear-filled eyes looking more wronged than Dou E. “I have never disrespected Auntie, I…”
Rong Jingyang shook off Ai Wei’s hand and said coldly, “I’m married.”
Huh?
What did he mean?
As Ai Wei stood stunned, Rong Jingyang strode out of the surveillance room.
When she stumbled out after him, he was nowhere to be seen.
Ai Wei cried out to the empty air, regardless of whether he could hear her. She shouted with all her might, “But when I liked you, you weren’t married, you were still single!”
“Rong Jingyang, I like you.”
“I like you…”
Don’t go, please don’t leave me…

After leaving Crescent Bay, Du Ruoxin drove alone on the asphalt road.
She had no destination, just driving along the city roads. But because e City’s roads were ring roads, she was constantly going in circles without realizing it.
Her mind was filled with only one thought – to leave Rong Jingyang, to leave the Rong family.
The stinging slap mark on her face still felt like an iron brand, burning with pain.
Du Ruoxin found it hard to breathe.
It was as if someone was choking her, her blood rushing, wanting to vomit, her limbs tense…
“Bang—”
Du Ruoxin crashed into the sidewalk.
She almost flipped her car.
Fortunately, there was no one on the sidewalk, and fortunately, she hit a large tree, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
“Hiss!”
The airbag deployed, and the massive impact almost knocked Du Ruoxin unconscious.
What happened?
What was going on?
Dazed, she realized she had been in a car accident, the car hitting a tree and nearly flipping.
Du Ruoxin unbuckled her seatbelt and stumbled out of the driver’s seat.
She couldn’t feel if she was injured, couldn’t even feel pain, just walking with stiff steps, like a zombie, through the city streets.
The world was so big, where could she go if she left Rong Jingyang?
Du Ruoxin had once sworn to disappear completely for three years…
But three years had not yet passed, so where could she hide?
Or—
Should she just take Dou Dou and leave?
No, taking Dou Dou would make her mother-in-law sad.
Du Ruoxin could be heartless towards Rong Jingyang, but she couldn’t be cruel to her mother-in-law.
She…
As she was considering disappearing for a while, a tall figure blocked her path.
Du Ruoxin tried to go around him.
But if she moved left, he moved left; if she moved right, he moved right.
Who was this person!
Looking for a fight?
Du Ruoxin was about to curse angrily, but the moment she looked up and saw the man’s features, her eyes went wide.
Ah—
Ah ah ah—
Ah ah ah ah ah—
