Cutting steak was a piece of cake for Rong Lin. He was very skilled, and each piece was cut just right, neither too thick nor too tender.
He gently placed the carefully cut steak on the plate in front of Chuchu, his movements filled with an indescribable elegance and thoughtfulness.
Chu Chu looked up and met Rong Lin's deep eyes, which seemed to contain countless unspoken words.
She took the steak, feeling a surge of gratitude, but also a bit of helplessness. "Thank you, Mr. Rong. I was the one who offered to treat you, but in the end, you had to cut the steak yourself. I'm so embarrassed."
Rong Lin smiled softly, a hint of amusement hidden in that smile. "How can we let Miss Chu do something like this herself? After all, Miss Chu's hands are used for playing the piano, painting, and doing more beautiful things."
Chu Chu shook her head helplessly, a smile tinged with bitterness. "Mr. Rong, you're so kind. But this marriage is giving me a headache. My parents are desperate for me to marry into the Rong family, so they've been reluctant. I understand their intentions, but..." Her words betrayed a sense of helplessness and struggle.
Upon hearing this, Rong Lin frowned slightly, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes: "Hasn't your sister already taken the lead? Wouldn't it be better for her to marry Rong Junhao directly? That way, your family's wish would be fulfilled." There was some doubt in his tone, as if he was puzzled by the arrangement of the Chuchu family.
Chuchu sighed softly, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes: "They also know that Rong Junhao is not a good man, so naturally they don't want their sister to jump into the fire pit. Even if something like that happened, they still think that the marriage is beneficial to the family."
Hearing this, Rong Lin sneered, his eyes revealing a hint of sarcasm: "Haha...it's really weird. Miss Chu, people who don't know you would think you were adopted. How did you end up like this? Even your biological parents don't trust you anymore? Is there no evidence to fight back? Do you need someone to help you?"
Chu Chu's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this, but then she regained her composure. "Why does Mr. Rong want to help me? And how do you plan to help me?" Her voice was filled with a hint of caution and curiosity, and she was clearly surprised by Rong Lin's proposal.
Rong Lin looked into her bright eyes, which were filled with helplessness and emotion. "You really don't recognize me?" His tone was filled with a sense of loss and regret, as if he was recalling a distant past.
Chu Chu put down the knife and fork in her hand, her eyes full of doubt. "Have we met before?"
Rong Lin smiled calmly, his eyes filled with tenderness and reminiscence. "Of course I have. It's just that you've forgotten. But it doesn't matter. I will help you with this matter. But you have to think about how to thank me."
Chuchu shook her head, her eyes filled with determination. "How are you going to solve this? Mr. Rong, this is my problem, and I want to solve it myself." Her voice was full of determination and courage, as if she was declaring her independence and strength to the world.
Seeing this, Rong Lin smiled softly and stood up. "Let's go. Our doctor's appointment is up. We should go there." His tone was filled with unquestionable determination, as if he was assuring Chu Chu of his ability and determination.
The wound looked quite horrific, and the treatment hadn't been thorough enough. The surrounding skin was still slightly red and swollen, as if telling of the pain she had just experienced. Fortunately, the doctor was a true expert. Not only did he quickly and accurately resolve the problem, he also comforted her in his gentle yet firm voice, "Miss Chu, please rest assured. At this rate of recovery, there won't be any scars left."
After hearing this, Chuchu showed an embarrassed but grateful smile on her face and said softly, "Thank you, doctor. It's really troublesome for you." After that, she lowered her head, tidied her clothes, and prepared to leave the clinic.
At this moment, a sudden piece of information exploded in Rong Lin's mind - this highly skilled doctor was actually the reincarnation of the legendary mermaid! This thought flashed through Rong Lin's mind like a flash of lightning, and he couldn't help but look at the doctor a few more times, muttering to himself: No wonder, I always feel like I've seen this face somewhere before, and it turns out he has such an extraordinary background.
Leaving the hospital, Chuchu suggested taking a taxi home, but Rong Lin politely yet firmly invited her to ride in his car. Inside the car, the atmosphere was a little tense. Rong Lin suddenly spoke, his tone tinged with joking yet also with a hint of seriousness: "Miss Chu, look at the news right now. Because of you, the company, and I have all been caught up in a sex scandal. Even my fiancée is breaking up with me. Tell me, how are you going to make it up to me?"
When Chu Chu heard this, her heart suddenly tightened. She hurriedly took out her mobile phone and opened a popular social platform.
On the page, all kinds of speculations and reports about her and Rong Lin flooded in:
"The CEO of Rong Group secretly met with a mysterious woman late at night, suspected of having found a new lover and spending the night together."
"The two had dinner together and behaved intimately, which may have exposed their relationship."
"Rong Lin personally accompanied his new lover to the hospital. The woman's belly was slightly bulging, suggesting she might be pregnant."
…
Chuchu's fingers trembled on the screen, and finally she could only close the phone powerlessly, not daring to look at those glaring words again.
She turned to Rong Lin, her eyes filled with apology and panic: "Mr. Rong, how did things turn out like this? This is all a misunderstanding. I will definitely explain it to everyone. Especially your fiancée, I will definitely explain the situation in person..."
Rong Lin shook his head slightly, interrupting Chu Chu and asking, "How are you going to explain? Are you going to tell everyone that the person in the hotel last night wasn't you? Or are you going to say that you didn't have dinner with me and I didn't accompany you to the hospital?"
Chu Chu was speechless for a moment, feeling even more depressed: "But nothing really happened between us."
Rong Lin smiled faintly, a sly look in his eyes. "The key is that the media and the public won't believe this. Because of this incident, the entire Rong Group has been caught in a storm of public opinion. This month's sales will definitely be affected, and the stock price may even fall. As the group's president, I am most worried about this kind of work style. It is directly related to the company's image and future development."
After hearing this, Chu Chu's face showed a panic: "Then...what should we do? Mr. Rong, if you have any ideas, I am willing to cooperate with you to resolve this matter."
Rong Lin's eyes suddenly became deep and firm. "Let's get married. This is the best solution I can think of right now. If we officially announce our marriage, then my fiancée will become the 'ex-lover' in this scandal. As a married man, it will be perfectly normal for me to stay in a hotel with my wife, eat together, and go to the hospital together. No one will question it. Moreover, this way, you can be considered to have successfully completed your mission of marrying into the Rong family. Miss Chu, what do you think of this proposal?"
