Rong Jingyang: "..."
What does it take to pull a cold and arrogant man down from his pedestal?
Answer: Three women.
Namely, his mother, his wife, and his daughter.
Du Ruoxin saw her husband's brows furrowed into a straight line, and the corners of her lips curved into a smile. "Or you can learn from me?"
"I'll teach you."
Teaching her husband to take beautiful photos of himself, photos that looked like international blockbusters, how fulfilling would that be!
She thought it was wonderful.
Rong Jingyang pinched the woman's face – she loved to join in the fun.
Du Ruoxin returned his smile with a silly grin.
Feng Linwan watched the intimate interaction between her son and daughter-in-law, and her heart bloomed with joy.
There was hope! There was hope!
Her son had actually learned to flirt with women!
It seemed that Ruoxin and Jingyang's relationship had improved significantly during their trip abroad.
She had said it herself, how could any man not like such a good and filial daughter like Ruoxin?
Especially since she was his own flesh and blood, his taste was as impeccable as hers.
Feng Linwan wore a proud mother's smile, but when she saw that both her son and daughter-in-law were injured, she couldn't smile anymore. "Ruoxin, what happened to your foot?"
"And Jingyang, why are you injured on your face?"
Where were the bodyguards?
Weren't Mu Li and Lin Xuanyao always by Rong Jingyang's side? How could they have let them get injured?
Du Ruoxin's expression faltered: "Uh..."
Rong Jingyang said indifferently, "She fell into the river and accidentally injured her foot. I went to save her and hit my head on a rock."
Du Ruoxin: "—"
Her husband's ability to lie was truly remarkable, without a blush or a falter, and delivered with such seriousness that it was convincing.
Feng Linwan glanced at her son – wasn't that nonsense? Could hitting a rock cause such a serious injury?
However, since her son had said so, he clearly didn't want her to interfere further.
Feng Linwan didn't press further. "It's good that you're safe."
Du Ruoxin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her mother-in-law "believing" her. "Mom, I brought you a gift."
Rong Doudou's ears perked up at the mention of gifts. "Do I have one?"
Du Ruoxin chuckled, "Of course, you do."

Upon returning to E City, Cristino's first action was to dismiss Clara. He gave her a bank card and told her not to appear before him and Du Ruoxin for six months.
Clara looked at the zeros in the bank card and grinned from ear to ear. "Good, good, good!"
She promised not to appear!
She promised not to bother them!
Without any clothes, jewelry, or shoes, Clara vanished on the spot.
Aitain watched the woman walk out of the villa with elation, her mouth agape.
This...
"Sir, is she your fiancée?" She dared to bet that this beautiful lady had definitely not noticed her presence.
Cristino gave the girl a sharp look.
Aitain immediately covered her mouth with her hands, not daring to say another word, like a startled bird.
Cristino then left coldly.
"Phew—"
Aitain let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Sir was so scary!
His imposing aura, even without anger, was more terrifying than her grandfather's!
She just stared blankly at the man's tall and imposing retreating figure.
Wait!
Aitain suddenly realized – Sir, where will I sleep tonight?
Fortunately, the butler appeared just in time, saving the little girl from her helplessness.
After finding a room to stay in, Aitain familiarized herself with the environment and then wandered around the yard, feeling very happy.
It was the first time she had left her grandfather, left the maids, and no one was managing her.
Even her breathing felt free.
Aitain liked this feeling, it was awesome!
She went to the door and looked eagerly at the scenery of the community, gesturing in English as she asked, "Butler, can I go out and play?"
As an Indian, Aitain could speak Hindi and English, but not Chinese.
The butler understood her gestures and nodded vigorously. "Of course."
Having received permission, Aitain couldn't bother with ladylike modesty and dashed away.
The butler: "???"
Where did the master find such a cute girl?
Aitain toured the entire Lantian Guishu, admiring the scenery along the way – flowers, grass, and trees, she was overjoyed. Unconsciously, she reached the main gate and, without hesitation, left the community.
A beautiful, elegant, tall woman in a formal dress walking alone on the street attracted a lot of attention.
Everywhere Aitain went, men couldn't help but glance at her, and even women couldn't help but take a second look.
But she was completely unaware, engrossed in admiring the vibrant night view of E City under the dazzling lights.
Until she was targeted by a few drunken men.
"Hey, little girl, want to play with your brothers for a while?"
"Brothers will treat you to a drink."
"Brothers will treat you to a big meal."
"Brothers..."
Aitain's scalp tingled with fear. "No!"
"Ahhhhhh—"
Help!
She screamed and ran forward, running at the speed of an athlete in a hundred-meter sprint.
At this moment, Aitain was terrified to realize how scared she was!
Didn't they say that China had good public security and a harmonious society? Why would she still encounter hooligans?
If she were to be—
She would rather die!
Aitain, running in a panic, ran desperately, not daring to slow down at all.
But then, at a corner, she ran headlong into someone.
"Bang—"
Both of them fell to the ground.
Her lips, by sheer coincidence, landed on his.
