"No," Du Ruoxin shook her head. "Take me back to Yunhu International."
She wasn't going anywhere else, just home—to wait for Rong Jingyang.
Kristino didn't insist. After taking Du Ruoxin and her daughter home, he drove away alone.
The moment he turned, his eyes held a chilling, terrifying coldness.
Only one more day!
He would definitely take Xin'er away the day after tomorrow! And Dou Dou too!
Du Ruoxin carefully carried her daughter to bed. The little girl hadn't woken up, likely tired from playing today.
Du Ruoxin washed her daughter's face, hands, and feet. After tucking her in, she left the children's room.
As she closed the door, a wave of melancholy washed over her.
Rong Jingyang still hadn't returned.
Trevor had said he went to a bar with Brother Qin...
Bars were crowded and noisy, with some observant bar girls employing all sorts of tactics. Rong Jingyang, going to such places with a playboy like Brother Qin who naturally attracted attention, might...
Du Ruoxin issued an order: any woman who dared to lay a hand on her husband would be met with strict security within a ten-mile radius!
Trevor was particularly excited by the order. Wow-ka-ka-ka-ka, what did strict security within a ten-mile radius mean?
It meant using bodyguards to form a human wall, encircling Rong Jingyang and blocking any living thing within ten miles from approaching.
The bar wouldn't be able to operate tonight!
And if he could dig up some explosive news—like Rong Jingyang's improper private life, his reckless affairs with wild women, his indulgent body... etc., etc.
He could also take photos and report him!
Proving to Miss that Rong Jingyang was not worth loving, but Mister was! Miss should see Rong Jingyang's true colors sooner and return to Mister's embrace!
With this hidden thought, Trevor was like a chicken on steroids, eagerly watching Rong Jingyang.
Unfortunately, his eyes turned bloodshot, but no woman approached Rong Jingyang.
Trevor grew impatient and decided to hire girls to seduce Rong Jingyang.
But at that moment, Rong Jingyang cruelly pushed away the only woman who approached him that night and left.
He left!
Damn it!
His plan had failed!
Without photos or sensational news, Trevor couldn't report to Miss, so he could only continue to follow.
The night in E City was as brilliant as a galaxy, exuding a captivating pleasure.
But no matter how beautiful the city scenery was, it couldn't alleviate Du Ruoxin's inner gloom.
It felt like a mountain pressing down, like being submerged at the bottom of the sea.
It made her feel suffocated.
Du Ruoxin went to the wine cellar, took out a bottle of Maotai, opened it, and took a large gulp.
The strong liquor slid down her throat into her stomach, burning fiercely.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough—"
Drinking too quickly, the alcohol stimulated her tear ducts, and the woman immediately burst into tears and snot.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough—"
It was uncomfortable!
After a long recovery, she finally stopped crying.
But the burning sensation in her stomach did not lessen at all. Du Ruoxin clutched her chest and curled up on the floor.
She took out her phone and sent a message to Grace: [Are you asleep?]
[Want to come out for a drink?]
Grace, after "escaping" the construction site in the afternoon, rushed home.
However, the moment she opened the door, she fled again.
The house was meticulously cleaned and spotless, cleaner and tidier than a six-star hotel!
Needless to say, it must have been Qin Yunxi.
Wasn't he sick in the head!
Coming to someone's house to clean!
Had she agreed to it?
Homeless Grace ate nearby and then went to the library to read.
She stayed until it closed.
Wandering the brightly lit city streets, Grace hesitated whether to go home or stay out for the night, when she received Du Ruoxin's message.
[Where?] she replied.
Du Ruoxin: [Near my place, want to grab some barbecue?]
Grace: [Okay.]
Flagging down a taxi, Grace headed over, but she didn't expect that the first time she saw Du Ruoxin, she looked so haggard.
"What happened?" Grace asked in surprise.
Du Ruoxin looked at her friend and, without reservation, said, "Rong Jingyang and I had a fight."
Grace: "Ah?"
"Why did you fight?"
A fight that made someone look haggard and exhausted, what kind of major issue could it be?
Du Ruoxin: "..."
Grace's casual question stunned her completely.
