After half a year of marriage, Rong Jing and Su Yinwan never lived together, always living separately.
In the eyes of the Rong family, Su Yinwan was gentle and graceful, a competent Mrs. Rong...
"Thank you for letting me know what it feels like to truly love someone."
—Rong Jing
Su Yinwan was chosen by Old Master Rong at first sight.
Seeing his comrade's granddaughter grow up to be graceful and poised, Grandpa Rong nodded with great satisfaction.
And just like that, the two parties reached an agreement in no time.
Soon after, Su Yinwan, the second daughter of the Su family, and Rong Jing, the young master of the Rong family, registered their marriage.
Rumor has it that the president of the Rong Group took over the family business at a young age. He is decisive and ruthless in the business world, showing no mercy to anyone.
He was an absolute ruler in Chengdu.
He never grants visits, never publishes articles in the newspaper, and few people know his true identity.
Su Yinwan first met Rong Jing on the day they got their marriage certificate at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
The man was dressed in a black suit, his hands in his trouser pockets. He had handsome features, a sharp, angular face, a high nose, and deep, cold eyes. His aloof demeanor made him seem unapproachable.
The two didn't exchange a single word, and that's how they finished taking their wedding photos.
Su Yinwan looked at the marriage certificate in her hand, then looked up and saw that the man had already left.
Su Yinwan remained silent.
What's with the aloofness? Do you think I'd be happy to marry you?
If it weren't for my grandfathers pressuring me, I would have been dating a young puppy by now.
After the day they got their marriage certificate, the two never saw each other again.
Shallow Moon Bay was the residence the Rong family arranged for the young couple to cultivate their relationship. In order to have children as soon as possible, they were not disturbed by anyone on weekdays.
Unexpectedly, only Su Yinwan lived there, and Rong Jing had never set foot there.
After getting married, he lived in a place near the company.
At this moment, Shallow Moon Bay.
Su Yinwan was focused on practicing yoga when Rong's mother called.
"Wanwan, you two haven't been back to have dinner with Grandpa in a long time. Why don't you go back to the old house for a meal tomorrow?"
Su Yinwan couldn't refuse her mother's kind and gentle tone, so she sweetly replied, "Mom, I haven't seen you in so long, I miss you all. I'll go back tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Su Yinwan opened her chat window with Rong Jing and sent him a message.
Mom's asking us to come back to the old house for dinner tomorrow, do you have time?
Su Yinwan looked at her phone, which hadn't received any messages for a long time, and then tossed it aside to take a shower.
On the other side, the Rong Group.
Rong Jing returned to his office after a meeting, opened his phone, and saw an unread email.
He opened it and glanced at the message with a cold look.
He replied with just one word.
【Um】
After taking a shower, Su Yinwan picked up her phone and glanced at it, seeing the message the man had replied to.
I wondered, is this person usually so sparing with words?
Without thinking too much about anything else, I turned off the screen, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.
The next day.
Su Yinwan's long, black hair was tied up high with a jade hairpin. Today, she wore a beige long dress, which made her look gentle and lovely.
Rong's mother, Gu Ning, came out to pick her up early. Su Yinwan saw her figure before the car even arrived at the door.
As soon as she got out of the car, Rong's mother came over, took her hand, and said with a kind smile, "Why do you look thinner? Have you not been eating or sleeping well? Come on, let's go inside. I've made you some nourishing soup to help you recover and improve your complexion."
They slowly walked into the courtyard, step by step. The long corridor was carved from bluestone, and springs gushed out from the artificial hills on both sides, creating an ancient and antique atmosphere.
Facing you is a spacious front hall, where a set of natural-colored huanghuali wood tables and chairs comes into view.
At that moment, Rong Jingqian, Rong's father, was playing chess with Old Master Rong.
Just as Grandpa Rong was about to lose, he looked up and saw his granddaughter-in-law coming this way, and he was overjoyed.
"Girl, you've finally arrived! Come and play a game of chess with your grandpa. Playing chess with your dad is really no fun."
Seeing his father trying to renege on his promise, Rong's father hurriedly shook his head.
"Yes, yes, Wanwan, you just stay with the old man. I won't interfere."
He then got up and left with Rong's mother.
"Where's that brat A-Jing? Why didn't he come with you?" Old Master Rong rubbed the chess pieces with his fingers, looking at the chessboard. "These two should spend more time together to cultivate their relationship. When he comes later, I'll have to give him a good talk."
"Grandpa, Jing has to work, he won't be here until later. I had nothing to do, so I came over to chat with you."
Looking at his gentle and considerate granddaughter-in-law, Grandpa Rong felt even more that it was the right thing to let them get married, and smiled with satisfaction.
for a long time.
After finishing his work, Rong Jing drove back to the old house.
When he walked in and saw the woman in front of him, he paused for a moment.
The woman had her long hair tied up, revealing a full, smooth forehead, a delicate and petite face, long, curled eyelashes, and no makeup on her face, making her look playful yet dignified.
Rong Jing sized up his nominal wife; this was their second meeting.
"grandfather"
While chatting happily with Su Yinwan, Old Master Rong saw Rong Jing slowly approaching and directly picked up his cane to lightly tap him, saying, "You brat, it's rare for us to have a meal together, can't you put down your work and spend some time with your wife and this old man?"
"Yes, I understand."
Upon hearing this, Rong Jing glanced at Su Yinwan, then helped Old Master Rong up and headed towards the restaurant.
Su Yinwan saw Rong Jing's expressionless face and wanted to greet him, but upon seeing this, she immediately decided not to bother him and followed behind.
At the dining table, the servants gradually served all the dishes.
Old Master Rong sat in the main seat, with Rong Jingqian and his wife, and Rong Jing and his wife, sitting on his left and right sides respectively.
Gu Ning picked up the serving chopsticks and piled food into Su Yinwan's bowl, saying, "Wanwan, eat more, these are all your favorite dishes."
Looking at the bowls that were slowly piling up into a small mountain in her hands, Su Yinwan quickly smiled and replied, "Thank you, Mom."
Grandpa Rong looked at Rong Jing, who was eating by himself, and said coldly, "Jing, you are a married man now. You need to learn how to cherish and be considerate of your wife. Quick, get some food for Wanwan."
Rong Jing stopped eating instantly.
After a while, he picked up a piece of shrimp from in front of him and placed it in front of Su Yinwan.
Grandpa Rong nodded hurriedly, his eyes narrowing into slits with a smile.
After dinner, Rong Jingqian and Rong Jing went into the study to discuss official business, while Gu Ning took Su Yinwan to the main hall to chat about family matters.
Looking at her obedient and sensible daughter-in-law, Gu Ning became more and more satisfied.
It would be even more wonderful if we could have a grandson soon.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when Rong Jing came down. Gu Ning did not let the two stay overnight at the old house, afraid that the two young people would be shy.
After giving some instructions, the two walked out one after the other.
As dusk settles, the city lights begin to twinkle.
Chengdu's nighttime street scene is bustling and lively, with crowds thronging the streets.
The black Maybach, however, was unusually quiet, which was unsettling.
Rong Jing remained silent, his cold and aloof expression making Su Yinwan lose interest in chatting with him, so she turned to look out the window.
After dropping Su Yinwan off at Shallow Moon Bay, Rong Jing drove away without hesitation.
Su Yinwan remained completely unmoved.
She knew that this marriage was arranged by her family and was not their own wish, so she never forced it and let nature take its course.
