Chapter 196: The Ones Who Can’t Be Shaken Off (15)
Rong Rong unilaterally deleted the contact information of Tang Yiyi, Po Er, and Wei Shang. In her great breakup plan, the only people she needed to deal with were Rong Si and Yu Wu.
Because she had already excluded these people from her plans, Rong Rong naturally wouldn’t inquire about any information related to them. So…
She didn’t know that Po Er, who she had finally managed to trap inside, was now standing under the sunlight again.
Thinking about what she had found out, Po Er was holding a gorgeous little parasol with a light blue lace border. She remembered all the things that she had bought for Rong Rong’s workplace and was trying to wait for her nearby—
But instead of waiting for Rong Rong, she had accidentally bumped into Tang Yiyi, who was coming out of the underground parking lot.
Because her assistant had forgotten to bring the documents that she needed to discuss with her partner at the dinner party that evening, Tang Yiyi’s car was parked on the side of the road. Just as she had opened the window in the back seat to get some fresh air, she had caught a glimpse of a very gorgeous figure on the outside.
Of course, Po Er had also seen her. In the upper class circles of this city, the Po family and the Tang family were considered acquaintances.
But because of the different paths that they had chosen, despite having similar educational backgrounds, they looked down on each other. So they rarely ever crossed paths.
Tang Yiyi felt that Po Er, with her privileged upbringing, had chosen an artistic path instead of inheriting the family business, and she felt that this was completely self-indulgent. She disdained associating with the other party.
And in Po Er’s eyes, she felt that Tang Yiyi, who exuded the smell of money from head to toe, was the type that she would avoid if she even smelled her from afar.
So after they had become adults, they hadn’t even met once in a private setting. Their circles were also completely different.
After glancing at her, Tang Yiyi uninterestedly looked back at the contents of her phone. Who knew that it was the person outside the car who would walk toward her Bentley Continental:
“Do you have time? I want to ask you something.”
The woman in the car raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she found it strange. Her sharp eyes looked in her direction, silently asking her what she wanted to do.
“I had a girlfriend before, and she works near your company. I wanted to ask if you’ve seen her.”
When she mentioned “girlfriend,” Tang Yiyi immediately thought of some of the stories that had been circulating recently. Even if she didn’t deliberately try to find out, it was difficult to block all of the gossip that was pouring in from all directions.
One of them was that Po Er was said to have angered her partner and seemed to have done some not-so-good things to them. As a result, she had been sent in, and the Po family had had to make a lot of effort to get her out.
But—
Girlfriend?
Tang Yiyi looked at her expression for a moment. She thought about the things that Po Er had done in those rumors, and she couldn’t help but reveal a hint of mockery in her eyes.
This person had a problem in her head, and the person she had found was probably not normal either. She was probably on a path of love and hate. She wasn’t interested in knowing… especially since the word “girlfriend” made her think of that obedient girl who had been by her side before.
She missed the other person a bit.
Tang Yiyi opened her chat box with Rong Rong, not knowing what message she should send. Most importantly, she felt that it would be a bit embarrassing if she was the first to end this cold war.
“Send the information to my assistant. I’ll have her notify you when there’s news.” Tang Yiyi stopped looking at Po Er outside the window and continued to think about her memories with Rong Rong.
Po Er was used to her arrogant attitude. She shrugged and took a few steps back, leaving this luxury car that was a low-key color on the outside, but whose interior screamed “I’m very expensive and you’re not worthy” and continued to wait under the building like a wife waiting for her husband to return.
Two flowers bloomed, each representing a different branch.
Rong Rong, who was being remembered by her ex-girlfriends that she had already broken up with, was accompanying Rong Si as she visited a psychologist. Because the other person had to deal with some unexpected business, and she didn’t want to change to a different doctor, the time had unknowingly dragged on until very late.
Before Rong Si had gone in, Rong Rong had already told the psychologist about her situation. She had very subtly said that she had a relative whose ideas were rather extreme and biased, and also seemed to have some problems with her understanding of feelings—for example, she would treat her feelings for a relative with whom she had a blood relationship as love.
The psychologist immediately said that she understood completely, and told her that they would communicate about all of the situations after talking with the patient. Of course, Rong Rong also understood.
So she left Rong Si in the consultation room to do all kinds of complex test questions, while she went to stroll around the downstairs of the hospital by herself.
It was a coincidence.
This hospital was the same hospital where she had been sent to after being drugged by Po Er.
At that time, she had been distracted by too many messages, so she hadn’t had time to admire the scenery of the garden below. Now that her stress had decreased a lot, she also seemed more relaxed.
Her phone was showing messages from Yu Wu, with the schedules that her fan club had specially organized for her, and also some of her recent business achievements, including drama posters, endorsement pictures, and more. But when Rong Rong thought about the identity of this top star, she decided to ignore them.
A celebrity had a higher level of social awareness than ordinary people, which also meant that her every move was being closely watched. If Yu Wu was going to do something inappropriate to her, Rong Rong wouldn’t mind exposing her at any time and pulling her down from the top, causing her to lose everything.
“The osmanthus flowers here are still blooming very nicely.”
A voice came from behind her.
Rong Rong turned around and saw the woman who had left resolutely in the alleyway earlier. After not seeing her for a few days, she didn’t know if the other person had secretly upgraded her with the system, or if she had upgraded her bug abilities again. Her image quality… had actually become clearer again.
Although the shadows and transitions of her features and body still weren’t particularly natural, even the outlines and facial features that had been sketched on sketch paper were enough to show the amazing beauty of this godlike creation.
The person who had turned around was stunned for a rare moment.
She thought about Yu Wu, who she had seen before, and who was the most beautiful among everyone. The sudden richness was like a peony in a garden. But in terms of colors, Su Mingxiu wasn’t lacking at all.
More importantly, many appearances, after the initial amazement, would feel ordinary after looking at them again. Yu Wu was this type, but Su Mingxiu… was completely different.
No matter how many times she looked, no matter how long she looked, Su Mingxiu’s face was like a flame that had been ignited by a soul. The charm that it emitted was always able to be imprinted in other people’s hearts.
“Why do you have this expression?”
Because she didn’t know how her appearance had changed in Rong Rong’s eyes, Su Mingxiu, looking at the person who was staring at her blankly, had no choice but to put the thing she was holding behind her for the time being and carefully observe Rong Rong’s expression.
“Ah…” The person who had snapped back to her senses subconsciously took two steps back, and her lips pursed together lightly. Then, under Su Mingxiu’s unchanging gaze, she kept her lips pursed in that way and, in a serious and almost stubborn manner, took two steps forward, shortening the distance between them, “It’s just… I suddenly realized that you’re very beautiful.”
“Oh?”
Su Mingxiu raised her eyebrows. Her eyelashes lowered as she saw that she had almost touched the tips of her shoes. The corners of her lips curved up, as if she was very satisfied with this expression of her heart and body being in sync.
After a moment, she brought out the thing that she had been holding behind her. It was a fruit tea that she had bought from somewhere. It was a small bucket that was big enough for someone to hold with both hands. The chilled air had caused water droplets to form around the plastic bucket, “Do you want to drink some juice?”
“Okay.”
Rong Rong took the large bucket of fruit tea from her and stood under an osmanthus tree. She had just taken a big gulp of the cold sweetness when she felt something land on her head. Just as she looked up, the person who had been standing in front of her had already raised her hand to brush away the osmanthus flower on her head.
“If you don’t want your head to be covered in flowers, then stay away from that tree.” Su Mingxiu, who was also holding a fruit tea with the same flavor, said while standing next to her.
Rong Rong’s eyes moved around. She seemed to have thought of something and suddenly raised her hand to grab the leaves at the top of the branch. She gently shook it, causing a rain of flowers to fall down—
It was just at that time that the wind picked up.
The golden rain of osmanthus flowers fluttered over Rong Rong’s shoulders. After she had been stunned for a moment, and belatedly tried to cover the straw of her drink, she saw that the osmanthus flowers had fallen on Su Mingxiu’s head and shoulders.
And when she looked up again, she found that the tree, which she had shaken and caused a few flowers to fall off earlier, was now full of flowers again.
Belatedly, Rong Rong remembered that this was just a game after all. Even if it was very realistic, it was difficult to make the details perfect.
Feeling embarrassed about her earlier thought of “if I shake this tree, I’ll have fewer flowers on me,” Rong Rong stuck out her tongue and, while holding her fruit tea in one hand, walked in front of Su Mingxiu. She raised her hand to help her brush off the flowers on her.
Su Mingxiu sensed something from the changes in her expression, but she didn’t show it. She only lowered her head slightly, letting her actions be more convenient.
Rong Rong reached out her hand and gently helped her brush off the flowers on her body. Unknowingly, they were both infected by the overbearing fragrance of the osmanthus flowers.
And Rong Rong’s movements suddenly stopped.
She found that Su Mingxiu’s pixels had become clearer again. For a moment, she had almost blended into the fine art style of the surrounding environment.
“Are you done patting me?”
Su Mingxiu straightened her body again, casually asking, and was about to continue drinking her fruit tea. She didn’t ask Rong Rong why she had suddenly come here, or why she was standing alone in the corner of the hospital. It was as if the two of them were friends who had accidentally bumped into each other, and so they had just decided to have an afternoon tea together, and that was it.
Who knew that the woman in front of her would nod her head involuntarily, and then shake her head.
Then, to Su Mingxiu’s surprise, she said in a tone that couldn’t hide her amazement, as if she was sighing, “You’re really… the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen in this world.”
Blinking her eyes, Su Mingxiu revealed a smile and, calmly followed her words, “So—”
“Am I your type?”
