Ding Ruola exchanged a few words with the boy and shared some information. Then the boy left the meeting room.
"Fang!"
The girl put away her phone and skipped over to Fang Siyan. She stood on tiptoe and wrapped her arms around his neck.
A pair of amorous eyes met a pair of tender, watery ones.
"You still remember I'm here!"
The girl pouted. The less there was between them, the more openly she could act.
She pressed her face against Fang Siyan's chest. It had been a long time since she last smelled the man's scent and felt his body heat.
She was infatuated with every detail of the man.
A week later, the matter of the change of power in Fangyuan Group was successfully concluded.
After this incident, the Xu family became much more well - behaved. However, Fang Siyan noticed that they were still colluding with Gu Tingjun.
This was a trivial matter for Fang Siyan. He regarded it as the bait he deliberately set out.
Let the line out long to catch big fish!
Ding Ruola was finally freed from the affairs of Fangyuan Group. However, she still had a loan of ten million yuan on her back.
But thinking about the 3% equity of Fangyuan Group she held, Ding Ruola didn't feel like she had lost out.
The annual dividend from this alone could reach ten million.
Ding Ruola could even laugh in her dreams now.
As promised, Ding Ruola's studio received the Fang family. After that, Ding Ruola stayed at home all day. She swore to make up for all the sleep she had missed this quarter.
But just after breakfast one morning, when she had just lain down on the bed, she received a call from an unknown number.
"Why did you block my phone number?"
She recognized the voice immediately!
It must be Xu Siyan!
Ding Ruola said that she hadn't touched her contacts list since she saved the phone number that day. There must be some misunderstanding.
Ding Ruola could easily figure out what this so - called misunderstanding was. It must be Fang Siyan's doing.
The only person who could get her phone and access her contacts was Fang Siyan.
She'd settle this score with him later. First, she'd listen to what the little brother had in mind!
"What's up? Got into some trouble again?"
Although the boy held stocks in Fangyuan Group, he had no one to rely on. He was always alone.
Even though he could be satisfied financially, his emotional life was always in deficit.
"Can you accompany me on my birthday?"
Ding Ruola couldn't believe her ears. They had only met a few times, and now he was inviting her to his birthday.
Ding Ruola was always soft - hearted. After the boy said a few words, she agreed.
"When?"
"The day after tomorrow!"
Ding Ruola said she got it. Just as she was about to hang up, the boy hesitated, clearly having something else to say.
"Can—can—can you play games with me?"
The girl thought for a while. Playing games was a way to relax, so she readily agreed.
She never expected that the games the boy meant were old - fashioned TV games, and they were going to the boy's home.
If Fang Siyan found out about this, Ding Ruola was sure she'd get a scolding.
She was afraid of Fang Siyan in her heart, but she still did something that challenged his patience.
In the afternoon, Xu Siyan came to pick her up. They went to KFC for a meal and then went home to play games.
The boy rented a room in the urban village. The room was small but well - equipped.
There was a fridge, a washing machine—everything that should be there!
Xu Siyan took out two butt cushions and put them on the floor, indicating that Ding Ruola could just sit on the floor.
Once they started playing games, they forgot about the time.
Until there was a knock on the door. Ding Ruola turned around and saw that it was already dark outside. She picked up her phone to check the time and found there were more than a dozen missed calls, all from Fang Siyan.
"Fang, why are you here?"
"Hello, Mr. Fang!"
Fang Siyan didn't say a word. He stepped forward and grabbed Ding Ruola's hand. The girl was very obedient and followed Fang Siyan home.
When they got home, Ding Ruola realized she had left her bag behind.
"It's not worth much. I'll buy you a new one!"
Fang Siyan was holding a newspaper. The newspaper covered his face, so Ding Ruola couldn't see his expression.
She reluctantly agreed with Fang Siyan. But just then, her phone rang again.
"Sister Ruoruo, I've brought your bag. Come down and get it!"
Xu Siyan didn't know which building Ding Ruola lived in, so he could only wait at the community gate.
As soon as Ding Ruola went downstairs and turned the corner, she saw Xu Siyan pacing at the gate.
"Thank you!"
"Sister Ruoruo, I have a selfish motive. I just want to remind you to accompany me on my birthday the day after tomorrow."
Ding Ruola would definitely keep her promise!
She carried the bag and went back home. Just as she was about to tell Fang Siyan about this, she turned around and saw the man's fierce look.
"I've already said..."
"Siyan came from so far away..."
Ding Ruola wanted to say more, but Fang Siyan snorted and then went into the study.
Fang Siyan didn't like this boy, and he didn't like his name either.
He envied the boy's vitality. He was jealous that this boy could distract Ding Ruola as soon as he appeared.
Especially that name. It seemed like a mockery to him.
What Fang Siyan couldn't let go of was the age gap between them. He was always afraid that his body and his mind couldn't give Ding Ruola what she wanted.
"Baby! I'm scared!"
Fang Siyan felt threatened. This threat made him more uneasy than Gu Tingjun's appearance.
Later that night, Fang Siyan finally came out of the study. He saw the girl walking towards the study with a cup of hot milk in her hand.
"Fang, I know you're angry. But I only see him as a younger brother!"
Ding Ruola was just driven by compassion. She just wanted to take care of someone.
She had always been taken care of by Fang Siyan. Now that she had finally found someone who could rely on her, she needed this person's approval to satisfy her inner self.
"Okay!"
The man took the milk from Ding Ruola's hand and let the girl act coquettishly beside him. No matter what sweet words came out of Ding Ruola's mouth, Fang Siyan only responded with one word.
"I'm going to accompany him on his birthday the day after tomorrow!"
"Okay—wait, what?"
Fang Siyan almost let the girl fool him. He put down the milk in his hand, pursed his lips, and looked at Ding Ruola's face. He reached out and stroked her cheek.
"You're being so nice just for this. I'm telling you, there's no way!"
The man's face showed no sign of kindness. Ding Ruola felt scared.
She wanted to argue and explain, but it was as if something was stuck in her throat. Her muscles were stiff, and she couldn't say a single word.
She could only blink at the man and then leave obediently.
However, Ding Ruola already had a plan in mind. She wanted to collude with Bi Shuang and ask Bi Shuang to help her get away.
But the devil is always one step ahead!
Ding Ruola's little tricks wouldn't work in front of Fang Siyan.
One day, Bi Shuang called Fang Siyan. The first thing the man said when he answered the call was: Tell Ding Ruola that her little tricks can only deceive a three - year - old!
When Fang Siyan said this, Ding Ruola was sitting obediently beside him, drawing a design draft.
