Watching the woman cry and act with her clumsy performance, Rong Jingyang's eyelids twitched. "Stop acting!"
Du Ruoxin was fully immersed in her act, putting on a complete show as if she would cry, make a scene, and hang herself if he didn't agree.
"I'm so envious of Mommy. With just a little cry of pain, three men are so worried they can't eat or sleep."
"I don't have any of them..."
Rong Jingyang: "——"
Who was she trying to annoy?
His temples throbbed. "Alright, stop making a fuss. I'll wear it!"
Honestly!
He was defeated by her!
Du Ruoxin immediately stopped crying, wiped her tears, and stared at him with sparkling eyes.
"However..."
Just as the man was about to state his conditions, Du Ruoxin quickly covered his mouth. "Oh my, no buts, no ifs, no howevers. What's wrong with indulging your wife?"
"This isn't a battle in the marketplace where you have to bargain and decide who wins?"
"Will you be happy if you win?"
"I certainly won't be happy, and you'll have to spend effort coaxing me later!"
"Alright, it's settled then!"
Rong Jingyang: "..."
His heart was pounding fast, being shut down like that.
Du Ruoxin helped him up, holding the couple's outfit and dressing him. "A man who cherishes his wife achieves success in both career and family. Look at Daddy, isn't he the happiest man in the world?"
Rong Jingyang's chest tightened. He cupped the woman's chin, stopping her incessant chatter. "You've said all the good and bad things."
What else could he say?
"Hehe." Du Ruoxin smiled. "Mr. Rong isn't made of stone. How could he not care about his own wife?"
What flattery!
Rong Jingyang's expression remained grim. "This is the only time. It won't happen again."
If she resorted to her dramatic tactics anytime soon, the thought alone gave him a splitting headache!
"Okay!" Du Ruoxin agreed readily.
After all, whether she would use her life-threatening moves next time depended on the situation. Hahahaha.
The two put on their clothes and walked out of the bathroom. Du Ruoxin looked triumphant, her steps exuding a sense of pride.
She cast a glance at her friend, a silent message passing between them: "He wore it, he wore it! Remember to take lots of pictures later."
Caroline winked back at Du Ruoxin. "Okay, no problem. I'll make sure to capture you both looking handsome and beautiful."
The two women began their trivial pleasantries.
"Have you had breakfast? Want to join me?"
"No, I rushed to the hotel as soon as I landed. Let's go, I'm starving."
"I ordered crystal steamed dumplings. Is there anything you'd like?"
"Anything is fine. I like what you like."
And so, the two women walked hand-in-hand towards the dining table, completely ignoring the two men beside them.
Rong Jingyang + Qin Yunxi: "..."
They nodded at each other, exchanged a greeting, and then also headed to the dining area.
After breakfast, the group took a luxury car to Fortune Plaza, the office location of the Rong Group.
The venue had already been set up, awaiting the guests' arrival.
Du Ruoxin, unable to rest easy, checked everything over again and again, ensuring there were no oversights and that every detail was perfect. A happy smile spread across her face.
At 9:50, before the appointed time, lively voices could be heard from outside the entrance.
"Where is Du Ruoxin? Hurry up and call her out to welcome us!"
Du Ruoxin heard Adis's voice and quickly ran out. "Welcome, welcome, esteemed elder. We are honored by your presence."
Accompanying Adis was Christiano. Du Ruoxin looked at her elder brother, but at the same time, she also saw the well-behaved and lovable Aiteen beside her brother.
This was not a good sign!
"Brother," she called out.
Christiano surveyed the surroundings and praised, "The setup is quite good."
"Let's go, show us around."
Du Ruoxin's lips curved into a perfect smile. "This way, please."
Alas, her brother and Rong Jingyang were mortal enemies, competitors. Was she inviting a wolf into the fold?
