The devil always seems to gain an edge over the good!
When Fang Siyan was cooking in the kitchen, he had already noticed Ding Ruola. The girl was acting a bit out of character. She would never have entered the kitchen if she had nothing to do before, but now it was different. She was like an inspector, peeking into the kitchen from time to time.
Fang Siyan naturally knew what was on the girl's mind. He was well - aware of her little tricks.
"Old Fang! My skirt is torn. Where did you put the needle and thread?"
Fang Siyan usually took care of tidying up the house, so it was normal for Ding Ruola not to find the needle and thread. As for what she wanted the needle and thread for, Fang Siyan could guess it even with his eyes closed.
He put down the crown daisy in his hand, walked out of the kitchen, rummaged around and found the needle and thread, then placed it in front of Ding Ruola.
Seeing that the man had taken the bait, Ding Ruola pretended to pick up the skirt to examine it. She threaded the needle and used her peripheral vision to observe Fang Siyan's movements.
The man was wearing a pink apron and standing in front of Ding Ruola. He tilted his body slightly and showed no sign of leaving.
"Old Fang! I'm hungry!"
"It's almost done. I'll wait until you finish mending your skirt, and then we can have dinner."
Ding Ruola was stunned for two seconds, then pretended to be very happy and put the needle, thread and skirt aside.
"Let's have dinner first!"
Fang Siyan raised his eyebrows, the corner of his lips slightly curved. He suppressed his smile and glanced at the opaque bag on the table. Before Ding Ruola could react, he picked it up directly.
Ding Ruola noticed that Fang Siyan was about to take the bag. She wasn't willing to give in either and clung to one corner of the bag, refusing to let go.
During the tug - of - war between them, the bag broke, and all the small boxes inside spilled out.
The moment the bag broke, Ding Ruola's emotions started to explode. She casually picked up a box and threw it at Fang Siyan.
"Fang Siyan, you're going too far!"
The man didn't mean to dodge. Since the box was wrapped in a plastic film, one corner of it was relatively sharp. According to probability, the chance of being hit by the corner of the box was low, but Fang Siyan was just unlucky. A small hole was made on his forehead by the box, and blood started to ooze out.
"Now is not the right time!"
"We're already married. Why isn't it the right time?"
Fang Siyan was stumped by Ding Ruola's question.
They had the marriage certificate. Legally speaking, they could have a child. But they were still young, especially Ding Ruola. She hadn't even figured out the meaning of life and her own life path. Now to raise a new life and vaguely tell her that this was living and this was life...
It seemed normal for two people in love to have a child, but it wasn't normal for the child at all. Fang Siyan also wanted to respect Ding Ruola's choice, but indulging her in this matter would only harm her.
"Why aren't you saying anything!"
Ding Ruola looked at the man standing still on the spot. She thought her chance had come and that Fang Siyan had seen the light.
"I don't want your future to be buried by such a life before it even starts."
The man and the woman were not on the same page.
"But every girl wants to be a mother!"
Fang Siyan sneered. He stepped forward, held Ding Ruola's face in his hands, "It's about being a good mother!"
Arguing with a girl while nit - picking on words and logic was like seeking death. Fang Siyan had one foot in the grave.
He was slapped by Ding Ruola. The girl broke free from his arms and ran back to the room with red eyes.
He had to eat the hot pot alone. Ding Ruola liked spicy food, so Fang Siyan specially bought a divided hot - pot. He sat alone in the dining room, facing the clear - soup pot. He ate a few mouthfuls simply and then went back to the study.
He had been reading documents for less than half an hour when he heard noises from the next room. He quickly went out to check, but no one came out.
Fang Siyan stood in front of Ding Ruola's door for a while. He raised his hand to knock but didn't.
Finally, he walked to the kitchen and used the rice cooker to cook some porridge for Ding Ruola. He was afraid that Ding Ruola would be hungry later since she hadn't eaten a single bite that night.
But when he got up the next morning, Ding Ruola was already gone. The food in the rice cooker was still there, and the house was in a mess.
Ding Ruola went to the studio. She had been sitting there for a short time when Zhang Jun came with breakfast.
"Ruola, do you want to have breakfast?"
Zhang Jun wouldn't bring breakfast for no reason. It was Fang Siyan's idea. To be less obvious, Fang Siyan specifically told Zhang Jun to bring a few more servings.
"How do you know I like these?"
Ding Ruola was suspicious. She rummaged through the breakfast bag and glanced at Zhang Jun.
Fortunately, Zhang Jun was quick - witted. "The boss talks about it all the time. How could I forget?"
Zhang Jun was really a great helper.
Later, Zhang Jun offered to take Ding Ruola home, but the girl refused stubbornly. Zhang Jun had no choice but to take her to Bi Shuang's place as she requested.
Bi Shuang had been unemployed these days and had no one to keep her company. Ding Ruola's coming was a good thing for her.
"Dingding! You only think of me when Professor Fang doesn't want you!"
"Hey! Watch your words. It's not that he doesn't want me. It's me who doesn't want him!"
The girl was in a bad mood, so Bi Shuang naturally followed her lead in everything and accompanied her in scolding Fang Siyan a few times. Although Bi Shuang thought it was indeed inappropriate for Ding Ruola to want a child now.
"Stop talking about me. Talk about yourself!"
Ding Ruola couldn't stand hearing the word "child" now. As soon as she heard it, she would think of Fang Siyan's face.
Bi Shuang had resigned from Pandora Media Company. It wasn't that Gu Sen didn't want Bi Shuang, but that Bi Shuang didn't want to stay in Pandora anymore.
Bi Shuang lifted Ding Ruola's chin with her hand. "What are you so surprised about? Your chin is about to drop."
She casually picked up an apple and took a bite, then leaned on Ding Ruola. She was used to being lazy. She didn't have any lofty life goals. She couldn't stand the working atmosphere in Pandora. The workload was heavy, and the people there seemed to be on a constant high.
She just wanted to find a small company, earn enough money to get by each month, and then meet a man who truly loved her.
"You really have your own ideas!"
Ding Ruola didn't quite agree with Bi Shuang's ideas, but since everyone had different life goals, she didn't feel it was appropriate to impose her own goals on Bi Shuang.
"If you could be like me, you wouldn't be arguing with Fang Siyan all the time."
Bi Shuang sat up, peeled a grape and stuffed it into Ding Ruola's mouth.
The moment the green pulp of the grape touched Ding Ruola's tongue, her face scrunched up.
"I suspect you're trying to murder me!"
"Not that serious. I just wanted to see your funny face."
Bi Shuang liked to amuse Ding Ruola when she was free.
