Fang Siyan was taken aback. He put the newspaper in his hand aside. This was the attitude of someone about to talk about something serious.
He gathered the blanket with his hands to make it warmer around Ding Ruola's ankles.
"You mean that night!"
Step one in avoiding the question: start feigning ignorance!
Ding Ruola took out her phone. Back then, to prevent Fang Siyan from denying it after a blackout, she had specifically added a time watermark.
Fang Siyan looked at his embarrassing state lying on the sofa. The scene of that night seemed to be vividly replayed before his eyes.
"Ouch! Your reminder makes me remember it all!"
The man claimed he was innocent. It was the woman who threw herself at him, and he had already sent someone to teach that woman a lesson.
Fang Siyan was very curious about how Ding Ruola had found out that he had gone to meet a woman that night. Could it be that Zhang Jun had informed on him?
Based on his understanding of Zhang Jun, since that incident, Zhang Jun had never mentioned anything about him to Ding Ruola again.
"The perfume smell on you!"
Ding Ruola was very sensitive to smells. That night, as soon as Fang Siyan got home, she had smelled that the scent on him was different from usual.
"Is there still any today?"
"It stinks!"
Fang Siyan put his arm around Ding Ruola and leaned his neck closer to the girl.
The girl watched the man's Adam's apple bobbing up and down, and she also made a swallowing motion.
"Man, you're playing with fire!"
Wasn't the line supposed to be the other way around?
Before Ding Ruola could move, Fang Siyan tilted his head and gently lowered it to kiss Ding Ruola's lips.
The two of them were like a raging fire. In an instant, their rationality was burned into a ball of fire. At the last moment, Ding Ruola clapped her hands, and the lights in the room went out completely.
The next morning, Ding Ruola went to work with a sore waist. It was all because of their deep love.
When Ding Ruola arrived at the company, she saw a familiar face.
"Why is Deng Lirong here!"
She quietly approached Claudia and whispered in her ear.
"She was already here when I came. She should be here to talk business with you!"
Ding Ruola was a bit scared to deal with the Gu family now. She always recalled Gu Tingjun.
"Aunt Deng, why did you come?"
After the girl got closer, she found that things were not as simple as when she first entered the door.
There were gifts all around her seat, big and small gift boxes with the logos not covered up. Most of them were famous brands.
Ding Ruola was thrifty. She wouldn't buy clothes and bags without a sense of design even if they were famous brands.
"I'm here to tell you something!"
There was a kind smile on Deng Lirong's face, but it made Ding Ruola shudder. Such an expression seemed to be forced out, and the malice, meanness, and sarcasm in her eyes couldn't be concealed.
Ding Ruola knew that the thing Deng Lirong was going to talk about was not simple. To avoid suspicion, she specifically went to the meeting room on one side.
As soon as the two of them sat down, Deng Lirong grabbed Ding Ruola's hand.
Ding Ruola felt as if she had been licked by a poisonous snake. She immediately pulled her hand out of the woman's grasp.
"I'm here this time to propose marriage on Tingjun's behalf!"
Propose marriage?
Ding Ruola tilted her head and recalled the scene just now. Her face seemed to say - Are you kidding me?
There was still a far - fetched smile on Deng Lirong's face. She said that the head of the Gu family was dead, and now Gu Tingjun was in charge of the main family. He needed a capable woman to assist him.
In Deng Lirong's mind, this woman could only be Ding Ruola. Firstly, she had seen Ding Ruola's abilities. No matter what the social public opinion was, she had witnessed with her own eyes that the European Design Association had to bow its head in front of this girl.
On the other hand, it was about Gu Tingjun. She hadn't expected that Gu Tingjun would fall for this girl.
If feelings could be controlled, it would be a good thing. If not, then let the out - of - control factor be destroyed.
Deng Lirong was waiting for the girl in front of her to give her a reply. If the answer was satisfactory, she would consider letting this girl go. If the answer was not satisfactory, she would force the girl until she was satisfied.
If necessary, she could do it like she did back then.
"Sorry, I really can't. Auntie, you know I'm already married!"
Being married could be divorced. That wasn't a problem. What Deng Lirong wanted was Ding Ruola herself. Whether she was intact or not didn't matter.
"We have a good relationship!"
When Ding Ruola said this, there was a little girl's flutter on her face, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
"I don't want you to be deceived all the time!"
Deng Lirong took out a photo from her bag.
There was a man and a woman in the photo, and the scene was in front of a hotel.
These materials hadn't been exposed because Fang Siyan had suppressed them with money.
The man was just a back view, but this back view was all too familiar to Ding Ruola. She was the girl who had been chasing after this man for so long!
Ding Ruola forced a smile. "What is this?"
The girl pretended not to understand. Only in this way could she look less embarrassed.
"I know the person involved. Do you want me to take you to meet her?"
Facing Deng Lirong's proposal, Ding Ruola hesitated. From the moment she hesitated, Ding Ruola no longer believed Fang Siyan.
She went to a coffee shop with Deng Lirong. There was a girl sitting in the corner, wearing sunglasses even in the room.
She had curly black hair in a wool - like style, a bright red lipstick on her lips, and was dressed fashionably. She was a very beautiful girl.
At first, Ding Ruola didn't really believe it. But when she got closer and smelled the girl's scent.
There was a strong sweet smell with a faint smell of tobacco.
This was the scent on Fang Siyan that night.
Ding Ruola's face turned pale, and her eyes were almost glued to the girl.
The three of them sat down and had a simple conversation for less than ten minutes. Ding Ruola was no longer interested in how the girl and Fang Siyan had met.
"What's the perfume you're wearing?"
"YSL Black Opium?"
The girl's matcha - colored nails and the white porcelain cup made her hands look very beautiful.
After hearing the brand, Ding Ruola picked up her bag and rushed out without saying a word. She knew there was a physical store nearby.
The store had a complete range of products. Ding Ruola told the salesgirl her requirement, and immediately a brand - new bottle of perfume was placed in front of her.
She had thought the man liked the faint smell of freesia, but she didn't expect that he liked such a strong and alluring fragrance.
Ding Ruola asked the salesgirl to wrap the perfume up, and then she took a taxi home directly.
There was Mei Xuejian at the studio, so there wouldn't be any problems.
After she got home, she sprayed the perfume in the room twice.
The whole room was filled with the smell of this perfume.
This sweet and greasy smell could really be addictive once you got used to it!
When Fang Siyan got home and opened the door, he smelled the strong fragrance in the room.
As soon as he smelled this scent, he knew that something was not right.
There was a bottle of perfume on the coffee table. Ding Ruola had fallen asleep on the sofa. There were still traces of tears on her face, her nose was red, and the wastepaper basket was full of tissues.
Based on these things, it could be inferred that the girl must have cried for a long time.
Fang Siyan looked at the perfume on the table. He directly pushed the perfume into the trash can and then opened all the windows in the room.
