A girl was seen with a bowl of noodles poured on her head. The soup trickled down her forehead.
A few strands of noodles were still hanging from her hair. The girl was so scared that she let out shrill cries and started running around in a panic.
Not to mention how hot the soup was, just the thought of having food poured on one's head was disgusting.
The others were all stunned. Wasn't the girl being doused the very same lady who had kicked over Ding Ruola's rice bowl just now? The looks of those who had been so aggressive just a moment ago towards Qiao Yimeng changed instantly.
"What the hell! Why are you attacking your own people!?"
"Um, sorry. My friend was passing me the food. Why did you guys suddenly come so close? Ouch~ It shouldn't be very hot, right?" Qiao Yimeng waved her hand nonchalantly, a flash of impatience and arrogance crossing her eyes.
Everyone: "..."
There was a moment of dead silence. Suddenly, a reckless girl on Su Man's side seriously thought for a while and said, "It... should be okay, right? Her screams don't seem that heart - rending..."
Everyone: "..."
"Attack!" The elegant girl who had been standing behind the group seemed to have seen through something. Frowning, she gave the order.
The others were stunned for a moment, and then the two groups instantly started scuffling.
Ding Ruola was instantly stunned. She only cared about the girl with noodles on her head. Afraid that the girl would be scalded, she kept following her.
The girl ran back and forth and finally ended up at the pool in the restaurant where the ornamental goldfish were fed. She dived right in.
As if just realizing how cold it was, the girl gasped when the cold water hit her. She immediately straightened her head.
After thinking for a few seconds, with a look of determination on her face, she dived in again, shaking her head frantically, as if she had gotten something extremely disgusting on her.
Finally satisfied after washing, the girl straightened her head and turned around. Seeing Ding Ruola: "..."
Holding her dripping hair with one hand, she looked at Ding Ruola with a look of utter despair. Her eyes were dull, her mouth slightly open, as if she had been frozen in place.
Ding Ruola sized her up. There were no serious burn marks on her skin, just a bit of redness. Well, it seemed that Qiao Yimeng still knew her limits.
Ding Ruola twitched the corner of her mouth and looked at her watch. It should be time for class to end.
She craned her neck to look at the girls still pulling each other's hair inside the room. Rubbing the space between her eyebrows, she took out her phone and called Mei Xuejian.
The call was answered in less than two seconds. Ding Ruola tilted her eyes and directly threatened, "Hurry to the third floor of the second canteen. Someone's going to die."
Mei Xuejian on the other end: "..."
The girl beside Ding Ruola: "..."
"Are you free tomorrow?" After work, Fang Siyan was driving while Ding Ruola was sitting in the back seat.
Ding Ruola was a bit sleepy. She slumped in the back seat, curled up into a ball.
"Huh? I should be free." Hearing Fang Siyan's words, Ding Ruola poked her head out and then shrank back into her warm scarf, hugging herself tightly.
She wriggled like a snail.
She had finished reading the books she wanted in the library, and she had also processed the project list Mei Xuejian gave her. It seemed that there really was nothing else to do.
She was thinking about when she should go back to the studio.
"Oh." Fang Siyan hooked the corner of his mouth, a vague look flashing across his eyes.
His girl had grown up. He had watched her grow and change bit by bit.
The aura around her was also changing. She was no longer the innocent little girl she used to be.
It was time to open up his entire work and world to her. It was time for her to know more about him.
"What's up? Do you have something to tell me?" Ding Ruola mumbled, forcing her eyes open.
"I have a business banquet tomorrow. Would you like to go with me?" Fang Siyan sized up Ding Ruola through the rear - view mirror, his eyes full of expectation.
"Um? What...?" Ding Ruola was instantly stunned and hesitated a bit. "A business banquet? What is that... I've never attended one before. What if I don't have any experience?"
"It's just a business means to promote communication and maintain a friendly relationship between cooperating enterprises. It doesn't matter if you don't have experience. Everyone has a first time."
Fang Siyan glanced at Ding Ruola through the rear - view mirror. Seeing her lazy appearance, like a lazy and arrogant kitten, the man couldn't help but smile.
"The organizer of this banquet is Rongtai Financial Enterprise, which is in cooperation with our Fangyuan Group. They're holding a dance. You're required to bring a dance partner." Fang Siyan's deep voice was charming and magnetic as he continued.
"Will you go with me~ okay? Be my dance partner, Mrs. Fang? Miss Ding?"
"Um, cough cough..." Ding Ruola saw the man's eyes in the rear - view mirror instantly filled with tenderness. She quickly took a deep breath. She really couldn't stand this kind of Fang Siyan!
He was so charming! It was hard to say no!
"Cough cough, okay. It's just that it's my first time attending, so I'm not very familiar with it..." After thinking for a while, Ding Ruola stammered, her tone full of worry.
"It doesn't matter. Just follow me." The man's deep and hoarse voice came, and Ding Ruola instantly felt extremely safe.
Fang Siyan hooked the corner of his mouth. The car slowly slowed down and stopped in front of a large shopping mall.
Well, if Ding Ruola had good eyesight, she would have seen the words "Fangyuan Group" on the side of the mall building in the dark.
"Brother Fang?..." After getting out of the car, Ding Ruola hadn't even reacted yet when Fang Siyan took her hand and pulled her straight inside.
Standing in front of the high - end women's dress store on the fourth floor, Ding Ruola looked a bit lost.
"Choose a dress to wear for the banquet tomorrow!" Fang Siyan looked at her with a smile on his face, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Um, oh..." Ding Ruola looked at Fang Siyan and then at the rows of beautiful dresses in front of her. Her eyes instantly sparkled.
Seeing the rows of dresses, Ding Ruola seemed to wake up instantly. She wasn't sleepy at all.
She tried on three or four dresses in a row. Each one was extremely beautiful, and Ding Ruola couldn't bear to part with them.
Except for one that seemed a bit revealing, Fang Siyan had the rest wrapped up.
Ding Ruola took off a short pink shawl dress and tried on the blue dress she had tried before.
Finally, she chose this sapphire - colored strapless mermaid - style long dress as the dress for the banquet tomorrow.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Ding Ruola felt a sense of disbelief. This wasn't the noisy tomboy at all! She was clearly a beautiful goddess!
"Alas, it's all because I'm naturally beautiful..." Ding Ruola was in a very good mood. She turned to look for Fang Siyan but found that the man was already gone. "Um...?"
"Miss, Mr. Fang has instructed that you should try these pairs of shoes." A waiter in a black uniform said respectfully.
"Oh..." Ding Ruola looked around blankly for a while. Not seeing Fang Siyan, she still sat down obediently to try on the shoes.
