Chapter 194: 194: Willing to Devote Myself to You_1
In fact, there’s no difference between me and He Ruhui. Like her, my heart was also shattered by a scoundrel. I also needed healing.
She has a child.
But I have nothing.
So, when Ding Yinuo promised to heal me, I was not just moved, but also grateful.
However, I carried an unperturbed expression on my face.
I even playfully pinched his handsome face.
“You know what a medicinal primer is? It’s usually discarded after it has been squeezed of all its effects. Are you afraid of being discarded?”
Ding Yinuo cocked an eyebrow, his eyes full of mirth.
“Are you daring enough to use it?”
“Yinuo, I’m not as weak as you think. I can heal myself. By the way, I’ve taken care of your sister-in-law.”
Ding Yinuo gave me a thumbs up.
“I knew I picked the right person, you always have a solution!”
“Of course, when have I ever let you down?”
“In that case, I have to reward you. Tell me, what do you want?”
“I have a lot of desires! But these might not be affordable for you!”
“Well, why don’t you try mentioning them and see if I can afford them?”
“Let’s talk about it after this matter is settled!”
As we walked into the living room, Ding’s mother was just leading Ding Ruirui back home.
Ruirui held onto a stick of candy floss and rushed towards me as soon as she saw me, just like a little swallow in flight.
“Auntie, I missed you so much!”
The little girl must have been well-trained by Ding Yinuo. She actually called me “auntie”.
I squatted down, opened my arms wide and hugged her.
“I missed you too!”
“I finaly won first prize in our nursery school’s sunflower performance today!”
“Great job, Ruirui! You’re a fantastic little friend Here’s the thing, could you do your aunty a favor?”
“Sure!”
“When you see your mother later, could you spend lots of time with her, tell her all about nursery school and remind her how much you love your father?”
“Sure!”
Just like my own Xiaoyi, this little girl was incredibly bright and quickly understood everything. She was also very well-behaved and warm-hearted.
Soon, she was escorted by Ding’s mother into sister He Ruhui’s room.
I stood in the living room for a long time watching the tiny figure, unwilling to shift my gaze away.
Behind me, Ding Yinuo slung his arm around my shoulder and forcibly led me to his library.
His buddies who had been around earlier had now left. The library still smelled of smoke. I opened the window to allow fresh air to circulate.
I turned around to see Ding Yinuo scanning over a pile of documents. He looked relaxed, which told me he already had a solution.
“Where are your friends?”
“They’ve left!”
“Did they suggest any solutions?”
Ding Yinuo closed the file and put his hands in his pockets.
“Yes, they suggested kidnapping Gu Yuanzhou and beating him to death ”
“Anything else?”
“Kidnap Ye Mengyan! She is Gu Yuanzhou’s weakness!”
“This seems like a plausible plan!”
We exchanged glances and shared a laugh.
To my surprise, Ding Yinuo actually came right out and said it,
“Okay then, I’ll kidnap her.”
I rushed to stop him,
“Hey, I was just jesting! I didn’t know you would actually do it!”
“But I think it’s a pretty good idea!”
“No, the Ding Family is already a mess as it is. We should not add to the chaos. Let me handle this.”
Ding Yinuo seated himself at the office desk, lit a cigarette, tossed his head back and gazed at me.
“Have you picked up smoking?”
“I’ve been smoking.”
“I barely see you smoke!”
“I learned how to smoke in high school, don’t you know?”
His slight smile surprisingly gave him a rogue yet handsome look.
“Did you learn it from Jiang Jiaying?”
“Not really Her influence on me wasn’t as significant!”
“Really? Who influenced you then?”
“Guess!”
“I have no clue!”
“Pretending? You’re too smart not to have figured it out!”
“Ding Yinuo, is it possible that I am smart for a moment, but foolish for the rest of my life?”
Ding Yinuo smirked at me. His smile was mischievous, and his gaze was deep as if he knew something I didn’t.
After coughing slightly, he said, “Ayun, you’re wise for a lifetime and only foolish for a moment.”
“Thank you for evaluating me so highly. That’s exactly what I wish for. But remember, smoking is harmful.”
Indeed, I could notice that Ding Yinuo seemed a bit agitated. Maybe smoking can somewhat alleviate the pressure he feels.
After hearing this, Ding Yinuo promptly extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray.
“I rarely smoke But you’re right, smoking is harmful, I’ll quit. You’re so beautiful that I can’t help but agree with everything you say.”
“Did your friends suggest anything?”
“They had some ideas, but none were viable.”
Ding Yinuo glanced at his watch,
“I have to go to the hospital to see my father Could you look after my sister-in-law for a while? My mom is getting on in age, I’m afraid she can’t cope with this alone.”
“Sure, you can go! I can handle things here.”
Ding Yinuo gently slapped my shoulder,
“Thank you!”
“Why are you being all formal? I’m to blame for all these troubles. That madman Gu Yuanzhou!”
“Nonsense! We are in this together. It was always inevitable that I would confront Gu Yuanzhou. It’s a man’s challenge and has nothing to do with you. Stop taking everything upon yourself. Have some rest; I’ll be back soon.”
After instructing me, Ding Yinuo hastily left.
In fact, He Ruhui seemed relatively calm all afternoon, with her daughter by her side.
Perhaps not wanting to alarm Ruirui, she even managed to have dinner with us peacefully.
I kept scrolling on my phone
I noticed the heated discussions online were suppressed but later revived.
The suppression was done by Ding Yinuo, but Gu Yuanzhou definitely brought it back.
The crux of this struggle was to outspend the other party!
This time, Gu Yuanzhou seemed determined to ruin the Ding Family, at whatever cost.
At eight in the evening, Ding Yinuo phoned me,
“Can you swing by Xishan Residence and bring my black suit to the company?”
“Sure!”
“Be careful on the road!”
“Mm!”
From his tone, I could tell he was about to make a move.
Coming to the company at such a late hour and needing to change his suit?
After hanging up, I bid Ding’s mother goodbye and went to Xishan Residence to fetch his suit.
When I arrived at Tianjiao Company, it was already nine at night and the entrance was still brightly lit. The media and journalists were still on site.
