In the two months that Jiang Ruan had spent hoarding supplies, sightseeing, and appreciating the hospitality of others, she had done almost everything she wanted to do in her life. Just as she was sunbathing on the beach with her unborn baby, Du Ning came looking for her.
He was a bit of a spoilsport.
As soon as he got to Jiang Ruan's side, he started to say sarcastically, "I've been quite busy at the company, and I'm only just getting around to spending time with you now. You're not mad at me, are you?"
Jiang Ruan lifted her sun hat and looked at Du Ning. She hadn't seen him for two months, and he seemed to be alive and well.
Jiang Ruan knew what he meant; he was simply blaming her for not contacting him even once in the past two months and for not caring about the company's fate. Although she didn't want to talk to him, Jiang Ruan still politely answered all his questions, "No."
"You've changed. You weren't like this before!"
"Oh, how was I before?"
Du Ning looked at Jiang Ruan's bulging belly, raised his eyebrows sharply, and turned his mouth down as if he was very disgusted. "In the past, when I got a haircut, you would ask me who I went to for it, and you would also care about whether I slept well and ate well when you were not around."
"More importantly, they won't just ignore me like that."
Jiang Ruan straightened her sun hat, stood up while holding onto the chair, looked at Du Ning who wouldn't even extend a hand, and sneered, "And what about you? Did you treat me like this before?"
Jiang Ruan leaned to the side and said, "Oh, you even brought a companion. I think you're living a much more comfortable life than me."
Du Ning frowned and looked back. Zhang Dan had followed them at some point, wearing a sexy swimsuit, which contrasted sharply with Jiang Ruan.
Why are you here?
Seeing the displeasure on Du Ning's face, Zhang Dan was taken aback. After looking at the woman opposite her more closely, she understood and cleared her throat. "President Du, we have a document that urgently needs your signature. I couldn't find you, and you didn't answer my calls, so I had no choice but to come here."
"I hope I haven't bothered you."
Zhang Dan's words were very detailed and clear; of course, if you ignore her equipment, it was indeed normal work communication.
Upon seeing that it was an important document, Du Ning's expression softened. After signing it, he waved for Zhang Dan to leave.
But she'd come all this way, how could she possibly agree!
Zhang Dan put the documents into her handbag and looked at Jiang Ruan with feigned surprise, "This must be your sister-in-law. My teacher heard President Du mention you, saying that you are both beautiful and gentle, and that you were his goddess who pursued him for a long time. Seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary. Unlike me, although I am young, my skin is still not as good as yours."
Zhang Dan's words almost made Jiang Ruan burst out laughing on the spot. She originally thought that Zhang Dan was capable of accomplishing things. After all, someone who could catch Du Ning's eye should not be a naive and innocent person.
Unexpectedly, it really is true.
Jiang Ruan didn't dislike stupid people because they didn't deserve it, so she kindly told Zhang Dan, "Sister, you're joking. Compared to me, you're more creatively designed, and your skin is definitely superior."
Du Ningjing looked at Jiang Ruan quietly as she spoke, feeling that she had become a stranger, no longer the obedient person she used to be, which made him feel a little frustrated.
He decided to deflate her arrogance.
"Why are you arguing with a young girl like her? As her sister-in-law, you should give in to her to show your magnanimity and tolerance, which will benefit your image and reputation."
Jiang Ruan clicked her tongue. Why did she dislike listening to him talk so much? His words always smelled like garbage, making her, who was nine months pregnant, feel like she was going to have morning sickness.
"Du Ning, swearing is just a way for me to vent my emotions. Don't force me to talk to you, I have no interest in it."
Jiang Ruan didn't want to see these two disgusting people standing in front of her, so she turned to leave, but Du Ning grabbed her arm. "Jiang Ruan, stop making trouble, okay? I forgive you, I forgive you, alright?"
"You haven't spoken to me for two months, and the first thing you say is 'forgive me.' Listen to your own words, don't you find them ridiculous?"
Jiang Ruan tried to break free of the restraints, but the difference in strength between men and women meant she failed.
Du Ning was surprised that Jiang Ruan would scold him so harshly. For a moment, he panicked and felt like something was about to slip through his fingers. "You haven't talked to me for two months either. We're even. Let's go back to square one, okay?"
Jiang Ruan pulled out something that looked like a needle from her pocket and pricked it, and Du Ning immediately let go.
Seeing him jump away, Jiang Ruan smiled, a smile that reached her heart, with a captivating beauty. "Du Ning, do you think we can go back? This isn't the first or second time you've blamed me, and this kind of thing has happened more than once or twice. Once, twice, three times, four times, I have such a good temper, I can tolerate your teasing so many times."
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, and Jiang Ruan's questioning was getting louder and louder, Du Ning could only lower his head and admit his mistake, hoping that Jiang Ruan would leave with him as soon as possible.
As long as it's not in a crowded place, he has plenty of ways to get her to forgive him.
For example, regarding his act of devotion, although he pursued her passionately, he never touched her, and on their wedding night, he randomly found someone to be her match.
So this child isn't actually his own.
After their wedding night, Jiang Ruan had expressed those thoughts, but she didn't want to and made many excuses to refuse. The topic only ended a month later when she found out she was pregnant.
He believed that if he had this idea and told Jiang Ruan, she would definitely agree on the spot, given his charm in her heart.
"Ah Ruan, let's go somewhere else. I'll do anything you ask, no matter what it is, as long as you say so, I'll do it."
Du Ning offered what he thought were very tempting conditions, and Jiang Ruan indeed fell silent as expected.
