Aitai En clearly knew how intimidating her police dogs were. She quickly shook her head, "No! Don't release the dogs! It's too dangerous!"
Seeing her mistress's intense reaction, the maid lowered her voice and persuaded again, "If Miss thinks it's dangerous, she can lure Du Ruoxin to a secluded place. If the diamond isn't stolen by her, the police dogs won't attack."
"If the diamond is stolen by her... then she deserves it!"
Aitai En still shook her head, "No! Don't mention it again!"
If the money was lost, it was lost. Wasn't there a saying about sacrificing wealth to avoid disaster?
But once a person was bitten by a dog, or crippled, it wasn't something money could solve.
Human aesthetics lie in completeness!
The maid was so rebuffed by her mistress's resolute attitude that she didn't dare to say another word. Alas, Miss was just too kind, always being taken advantage of!
"Yes." She responded unwillingly.
—
After Aitai En left, Du Ruoxin's brows furrowed slightly.
If such a kind and well-behaved girl found out the diamond was taken by her, and that she had lied to her so earnestly, how heartbroken would she be?
Putting herself in her shoes, if she were in this situation, she would definitely break off contact with her.
It was simply too much!
"Alas—"
With a long sigh, Du Ruoxin, somewhat preoccupied, went to find Rong Jingyang.
Rong Jingyang was met with a closed door.
He couldn't see the old man no matter what.
It was as if the old man had invited him to the banquet only to slight him, to humiliate him.
Yet, he couldn't leave!
Du Ruoxin took two steps at a time to reach her husband's side. She hugged the man who was staring blankly at the lotus leaves from behind, "Honey, what are you thinking about?"
Rong Jingyang took Du Ruoxin's hand, glanced at the entire lotus pond, and his voice carried a lingering tone, "Is that lotus flower beautiful?"
Which one?
Du Ruoxin looked up. One, two, three... each one was beautiful, each one stunning, each one exquisitely perfect.
"Beautiful." No matter which one he was referring to, she liked it.
Rong Jingyang's lips curved slightly, "For you."
Du Ruoxin turned to look at him, "Ah?"
How?
Did her husband intend to scale walls and use qinggong to pick it?
Rong Jingyang patted her head and glanced at Fan Yinghao.
The moment his gaze fell upon him, Fan Yinghao leaped into the pond, swam to the very center, and picked the vibrant, upright, and shining lotus flower.
Du Ruoxin: "————"
Alright, she could grudgingly accept this romance.
"Yinghao, help me pick a lotus seed too," Du Ruoxin said.
Fan Yinghao looked around and picked a lotus pod.
Du Ruoxin walked around to her husband's front, a hint of slyness flickering in her eyes, "Mr. Rong, when your leg is better, will you personally pick a lotus flower for me, alright?"
Rong Jingyang nodded without hesitation, "Mm."
Du Ruoxin smiled, "Thank you, honey."
Rong Jingyang was truly different.
She could feel that he now doted on her, cherished her, and indulged her in everything.
It was so good!
If marriage was always like this, she would be the happiest woman in the world!
Fan Yinghao, dripping wet, brought the lotus flower and the lotus seed. He didn't hand them directly to Du Ruoxin but offered them to Rong Jingyang, "Master."
Rong Jingyang took them. Holding the lotus flower in one hand and the lotus seed in the other, he first presented the flower to Du Ruoxin, then shook the lotus seed, "What do you want this for? To make porridge?"
Du Ruoxin happily cradled the flower her husband gave her, took a deep breath, and then looked at the man with a beaming smile, "To give away."
"Mr. Rong, no jealousy allowed."
Rong Jingyang suddenly had a bad premonition, raising an eyebrow, "Give it to whom?"
