It has to be said that upon hearing Ding Ruola say that she had Professor Fang, Gu Qianxue was extremely jealous. She also yearned to proudly declare that she had Brother Si Yan.
Instead, she had to resort to a little trick to win a hug from him, only to be disliked in return.
All she did was love her Brother Si Yan. What was wrong with that?
Looking at herself in the mirror and sizing herself up for a moment, Gu Qianxue squinted her eyes. It took her quite a while to calm her emotions.
Then she took out a lipstick from her bag and began to touch up her makeup.
"What on earth do you want to say? I came to the restroom to relieve myself, not to listen to your rants..." Pressing on her temple, Ding Ruola replied patiently.
Even though Gu Qianxue's words did make her feel uncomfortable, she couldn't lose her nerve.
Hearing this, Gu Qianxue's hand, which was applying lipstick, suddenly stopped.
She looked at Ding Ruola with a meaningful look, a sneering smile curving her lips. "I originally thought Miss Ding had too much powder on her face, but it turns out you have a thick skin."
"Can't you understand what I'm saying? Don't think that just because Brother Si Yan brought you to a business banquet once, you're part of the upper - class society. Let me tell you, you'll always be far behind us!"
"Don't think that just because you know a bit about design, you're something special. Compared to us daughters of the wealthy families, what advantages do you have? Are you a good match for Brother Si Yan? You're just a good - for - nothing who can only rely on men to survive!"
Gu Qianxue paused for a moment and then added, "Do you know? My company has shares in Brother Si Yan's company. And you think you're something big just because you opened a studio with Brother Si Yan's help?"
Hearing this, Ding Ruola's face flushed red and then turned pale. It had to be admitted that Gu Qianxue's words had hit her right in the heart. Her fingertips gripping the bag turned white.
But then she said something infuriating, "Yes! I'm just a good - for - nothing. I'm willing to be anything as long as I can be with Professor Fang. It's a pity that Professor Fang just likes a good - for - nothing like me. After all, he didn't marry a daughter of a wealthy family like you, right?"
Ding Ruola tilted her little face slightly, a naughty smile curving her lips. She looked down at Gu Qianxue with a disdainful look in her eyes. How come she suddenly seemed like a rascal?
It just so happened that this rascally feeling really infuriated Gu Qianxue...
"You!..." Gu Qianxue's hand holding the lipstick trembled, and accidentally, a streak of lipstick was drawn across her face.
Ding Ruola didn't even look at her again. After saying that, she just walked straight out.
Although she had the upper hand in this verbal battle, Gu Qianxue's words still left a shadow on her.
As she walked out of the restroom door, Ding Ruola's heart was pounding wildly. She closed her eyes and gasped slightly, trying to calm herself down.
All she could hear in her mind were Gu Qianxue's words. Just then, she suddenly found herself surrounded by a warm and familiar aura.
Opening her eyes, she saw the familiar and warm face of the man. Her nose twitched, and somehow, Ding Ruola shed tears.
Not caring whether she was still angry just now, she wrapped her small hands around Fang Siyan and buried her face in his chest, sobbing.
Fang Siyan's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong, baby? Are you crying?"
"Be good! Don't cry. I was wrong. I'll stay three meters away from other women from now on. Don't be angry, baby..."
Fang Siyan whispered softly to comfort his little wife in his arms. His eyes were so gentle that it seemed water would drip out.
Ding Ruola buried her face in his arms. It took her a long time to raise her head. Her eyes were tear - filled, and she pouted. "Your embrace can only belong to me..."
Her voice was soft and sweet. Fang Siyan's heart softened instantly. He lowered his head and kissed his little wife affectionately. His eyes were full of tenderness. "Okay, Ruoruo, be good. Everything of mine, my whole self, belongs to you alone. Alright?"
At this moment, Gu Qianxue, who had just finished touching up her makeup and walked out of the restroom, saw this scene: "..."
Her eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot eyes, and her teeth were chattering.
The banquet had been going on for a while, and everyone had mingled enough. Then the dance began.
The music started slowly, and the incandescent lights in the hall suddenly went out. Colorful strobe lights began to flash.
The melodious music sounded, and the men and women on the dance floor began to dance.
Fang Siyan placed one hand on Ding Ruola's slender waist and the other on her shoulder.
The man looked at his little wife and smiled gently, as warm and charming as the spring breeze in February. His girl had grown up. His girl still loved him so much and was still so jealous...
"Ruoruo, don't cry anymore. I'll always love my baby. From now on, I'll never touch any other woman, and I won't let others touch me. Okay?"
Fang Siyan pressed his forehead against Ding Ruola's and looked at her affectionately. The girl's eyes were black and white, like a pair of black agates, clear and charming.
"Okay." Ding Ruola was in a daze looking at the man. The better Fang Siyan treated her, the greater the sense of gap in her heart.
The two gradually started to dance to the music, coordinating perfectly.
Gradually, Ding Ruola completely immersed herself in the music and the dance steps.
She tiptoed, and the man in front of her filled her eyes like the bright moon, illuminating her whole world.
Not far away, another pink figure saw Fang Siyan and Ding Ruola being so affectionate. She found it a bit dazzling.
She glanced at Yin Han in front of her and thought that this man always looked so calm and detached, as if nothing could stir his emotions.
All she wanted was to become powerful, to bring down the Gu family and that harsh Deng Lirong who was as ruthless as a cannibal. She didn't want to end up like her mother, being persecuted by that woman. She wanted to become excellent and make everyone respect her.
But this man always seemed so cold and aloof, as if he could see through all her thoughts.
Gu Qianxue hated this feeling. She had only approached Yin Han at first to win over his influence.
But no matter how hard she tried, this man always seemed so unromantic.
He just watched her actions lightly and indifferently, neither expressing his opinion nor taking any action.
Even though they were dancing the waltz in such an ambiguous position at the moment, the man's eyes were still cold and calm, like a heartless robot.
A pair of cold and emotionless eyes emitted a chill that kept people at a distance.
Looking at Fang Siyan in the distance, Gu Qianxue's heart began to ache. He was the dream of her youth, the prince charming and the savior she had once thought...
But now he treated her so coldly, while treating another woman so tenderly and affectionately. What was so special about her?
Ding Ruola was dancing lightly in Fang Siyan's arms, as petite as a warbler and as light as a swallow, dancing gracefully to the rhythm.
Gu Qianxue's eyes darkened. Just as a sudden turn in the music came, she took the opportunity to spin and left Yin Han's embrace.
