Rong Jingyang stared at the dining table. He hadn't asked for candlelight, roses, or red wine.
Xuan Yao was quite capable!
He wouldn't have guessed that a man usually so wooden would know how to please a girl.
Hmm—
Perhaps he should learn too?
"Do you like it?" Rong Jingyang asked.
Du Ruoxin inhaled, the air filled with a sweet, romantic scent. She turned, her smile blooming like a flower, "Of course, what girl doesn't like romance?"
"Mm," Rong Jingyang nodded, thoughtfully pulling out a chair for Du Ruoxin.
Du Ruoxin hesitated. She was wearing a lace slip dress, her hair casually tied in a high bun, her face bare, and she was in slippers. Emmmmm~~~
No matter how she looked at it, it didn't feel like a date.
She pouted, "Should I re-dress?"
She couldn't waste her first date with her husband!
It had to be formal!
There had to be a sense of ceremony!
Rong Jingyang pulled her to sit down, "Aren't you hungry? Eat quickly."
"There will be plenty of time for dates in the future."
Women were so troublesome. Just a meal, why make it so complicated?
Du Ruoxin smiled sweetly, "Okay."
He said there would be plenty of opportunities for dates in the future, hehe, she liked that sentence.

Caroline had been tracking people from Maruti Company. During this time, she caused a minor accident and attached a miniature listening device to the fabric band at the back of a man's trousers, where his belt was worn.
That location was rarely touched, and with the belt as a barrier, it was the least noticeable spot.
Through the listening device, Caroline heard that Maruti Company and Rong Group had reached a cooperation intention and were preparing for a face-to-face meeting and contract signing tomorrow.
So fast?
It seemed Rong Jingyang had approached Maruti from the beginning, not Tata.
Was his continued contact with Tata just to confuse people and prevent Christiano from disrupting his plans?
What a shrewd calculation!
But now that she knew, Rong Jingyang's cooperation would not proceed smoothly.
Caroline called Christiano again.
"Beep, beep—"
This time, the signal rang twice before being picked up. Her heart suddenly quickened, "Master."
Christiano's tone was icy, "What is it?"
Caroline suppressed her pounding heart and reported, "Rong Jingyang is signing a contract with Maruti tomorrow."
Christiano's sharp eyebrows rose, "Mm?"
Caroline said nothing more, waiting for his command.
Christiano was silent for a moment, a ruthless glint appearing in his eyes, "Disrupt it."
Caroline: "Yes."
She wanted to say more, but the signal on the other end was cut off.
"..."
A sense of loss spread from her brain to every cell in her body. That bitterness... although she was already used to it, it still hurt her every time.
Perhaps, this was love?
What you can't get, you always crave?
Christiano put away his phone without any expression, turned, and gave Trevor a look, a gesture.
Trevor understood implicitly, turned, and disappeared.
Addis, who was following Christiano, shivered. He always felt something was about to happen, but he dared not speculate or ask.
It was better to know less about the Master's affairs. Don't inquire, don't be curious, don't press; it could prolong one's life!
Addis and Christiano finished their business and sent him back to the hotel.
As they reached the door of the presidential suite, a delicate and beautiful figure came into their sight.
Addis quickly said, "Sir, you are injured and it's inconvenient. Let Atai En attend to your rest."
Christiano: "—Mm?"
In the middle of the night... was the old man... sending him a woman?
