Volume 1 Chapter 70 More Than Just Like
Du Ruo won a lot of money and was very happy.
Ji Yunbai realized belatedly that why he had to play cards with such a highly intelligent person who could skip a grade and get admitted to MIT.
But I still feel a little bit unconvinced. Isn't playing cards based on luck and experience? How can it be related to IQ?
Du Ruo took out the payment code on his phone and asked them to scan it. Looking at Ji Yunbai's slightly unwilling expression, he said calmly, "It's just a gamble. In the end, you'll have nothing. With your mentality, I can play you until you go bankrupt. You can continue playing if you want."
Ji Yunbai was shocked and explained, "I was just hanging out with my friends, not gambling with strangers. Besides, we were just gambling for fun, and we didn't play big."
Du Ruo did not comment, "You know the answer in your mind."
Then he looked at Wen Fei and said, "Sister Fei, after you get married, just give him some pocket money. He is a slacker and loves to play, yet he still has the nerve to come out and brag. Who is he bullying?"
Ji Yunbai: "...Xu Jingmo, you take care of her." There were so many people here, and they didn't even give him any face.
Xu Jingmo said, "I have to listen to her in everything. How do you think I can control it?"
"…" If you value women over friendship, what use are you?
Wen Fei also snorted, "You deserve it." Ji Yunbai was indeed impulsive and easily provoked, so every time he played cards with his friends, she would watch by his side to prevent him from getting carried away and being fooled. Every time she advised him, he thought it didn't matter. Now someone finally stood up and taught him a lesson.
Ji Yunbai pretended to be sad and buried himself in Wen Fei's arms, "You joined others in bullying me."
Wen Fei said, "From now on, I will be my sister's number one fan. Don't mess with her. If you mess with her, you are messing with me."
Ji Yunbai looked up in surprise and looked at Du Ruo: "Did you just give her the magic potion?"
Wen Fei has always been the kind of person who is worldly-wise but not worldly-wise. He can get along with anyone, but apart from Xu Daiyue, he has never met anyone with whom he can truly confide.
You've only known Du Ruo for a few days? And you're already so supportive of her?
Du Ruo propped up her chin and said calmly, "Yeah, she's been brainwashed. If you don't perform well, she'll break up with you."
Ji Yunbai's pupils were shocked, and he quickly looked at Wen Fei, "Really? I haven't made you angry recently, have I? I will correct what I did wrong, and you are not allowed to break up."
Seeing his anxious look, Wen Fei suppressed her laughter and said deliberately: "If you dare to make me angry, who knows~"
Du Ruo couldn't help laughing, he was so stupid, but seeing that he was anxious, it didn't look fake, so he was sincere to Wen Fei, otherwise, with all his bad habits, I don't know how he could be worthy of such a beautiful woman.
Xu Jingmo gently pinched her neck and said helplessly in a low voice: "It is better to tear down ten temples than to destroy a marriage. This is a bit too much."
Du Ruo said disdainfully: "If the marriage is so easy to be broken up, it's better not to have it. It's good to be confident. People who are conceited will fall sooner or later. I'm just giving you a friendly reminder."
Xu Jingmo raised his eyebrows, "When did you become so kind-hearted?"
It was the same thing last time at the beauty salon. Based on what he knew about her, he didn't think she would help. She wasn't the kind of person who liked to meddle in other people's business.
Du Ruo turned to look at him and said frankly, "Who said they were your friends? They are still in your sister's shop. I will take care of everything that concerns you."
Xu Jingmo's heart suddenly softened.
How could he have such virtue?
Xu Jingmo's intention to assert his sovereignty and protect Du Ruo was obvious, and he didn't give anyone else a chance to chat with her.
The two of them were too familiar and intimate with each other, and she also got along very naturally with Ji Yunbai and Wen Fei. The people who came to gossip got no useful information. They only knew that the little fairy was called Du Ruo, and that she was a powerful character who was not easy to mess with.
Xu Jingmo took Du Ruo away early on the pretext that he had to go to the 8am party tomorrow.
After they left, everyone gathered around Ji Yunbai and Wen Fei to gossip.
"Brother Ji, please tell me who this sister is."
Ji Yunbai helplessly spread his hands: "Do you think I understand?"
At most, he had more opportunities to meet them than them, and was more familiar with their personalities and temperaments, but he knew nothing about their family backgrounds. However, he didn't look like an ordinary person anyway.
Wen Fei didn't know either. They never talked about this. When making friends, one's background was not important. She now truly regarded Du Ruo as a friend.
"I have to say, she is really pretty. No wonder Ah Mo doesn't like anyone. It would be strange if he didn't have a picky taste after meeting such a fairy. How could he possibly like someone else?"
"It's really amazing. That look, that temperament, wow, it's unattainable."
"But, that's the Xu family. No matter how beautiful she is, will they let an ordinary person marry into a wealthy family? The Xu family's daughters-in-law have never been ordinary people."
"That's not something we should worry about. Seeing how protective Ah Mo is, I think he would be willing to sever ties with his family just for Hong Yan."
Everyone was talking at once, and no one noticed that in the corner, Li Mancen was watching the band performance downstairs with an unclear expression, and was distracted.

Before Xu Jingmo got home, he noticed that Du Ruo seemed a little abnormal.
She has always been proud and would never lose her composure in front of outsiders.
The valet driver was driving in the front, and Du Ruo was in the back seat, burrowing into his arms, rubbing him to the point of being extremely uncomfortable. She was still mumbling like a chatterbox.
"Xu Jingmo, are you a puppy?"
"……,no."
"Who are you."
"Yes, I am."
"And your tail?"
"Today is not a full moon, so it cannot be transformed."
"You are a puppy, not Sun Wukong, why do you have to wait for a full moon to transform?"
"...Because I'm a Super Saiyan, it's the custom of my hometown." Xu Jingmo lied seriously.
"Oh." Du Ruo nodded in understanding.
The driver in the front seat couldn't help but chuckle. Xu Jingmo looked out the window helplessly, hating himself for not driving a car with brakes.
How come this guy falls down after just one sip of wine? He's drunk and acting crazy. It's okay to act crazy, he can do whatever he wants when he gets home, but now he's in this situation, it's really frustrating.
Du Ruo was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Then what mission did your planet send you to Earth for?"
Xu Jingmo: "When I came to Earth, I hit my head on the ground and lost my memory. I forgot everything."
"Pfft." The driving master really couldn't hold it back any longer. Xu Jingmo glanced at him coldly, and he quickly pursed his lips to hold it back.
Du Ruo chuckled and whispered mysteriously into his ear: "I know."
Warm breath sprayed on his ears, and Xu Jingmo already wanted to ask the driver to stop the car and get out. He wanted to kiss her to death.
I could only resist the urge and hold her tightly in my arms to prevent her from moving any further. I asked, "Oh? Really? Then tell me."
The driver also listened calmly, he had never seen such a lovely couple, it was like listening to a cross talk.
However, Du Ruo seemed to sense that someone was eavesdropping, and wanted to get up and whisper to Xu Jingmo to tell him, but Xu Jingmo was holding her, so she couldn't move. She could only say, "Lower your head, I'll tell you secretly, this is a secret."
Xu Jingmo lowered his head in agreement. The substitute driver looked disappointed. Why didn't he let him listen? Wasn't it okay for him to stop laughing...
Du Ruo whispered, "Your mission on Earth... is... to love me for the rest of your life."
Xu Jingmo crooked his eyes, his eyes were as brilliant as stars, he lowered his eyes to look at her slightly cunning eyes, laughed softly, pinched her smooth face in a rather doting manner, and whispered: "Now that you mention it, I seem to have recovered my memory, you are wrong."
Du Ruo glared, "I can't possibly remember it wrong."
Xu Jingmo leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Xu Jingmo's mission to come to Earth is to love Du Ruo for the rest of my life. Not just to like you. Du Ruo, I love you. I love you very much."
It was not known whether Du Ruo heard it or not. After listening, she just lay obediently in his arms and did not say another word.
Xu Jingmo didn't take it to heart. As long as she was obedient, that would be enough. He really couldn't stand her nagging.
