Chapter 118: After the Night
"It was only a childhood marriage agreement between the two families. It was never a real engagement. How can Rong Xingyu count as your fiancé?" Ding Yixin said slowly.
Ding Wei didn’t react at first, but the more he listened, the more familiar it sounded.
Wasn’t this exactly what he had said before?
His uncle had asked him about Rong Xingyu before.
At that time, Ding Wei was impatient and didn’t have any other feelings.
He had just broken off his engagement and was terrified of getting pulled back into anything related to Rong Xingyu.
So he had said those same words.
And now his uncle used them right back at him.
Ding Wei: "..."
So his uncle had already noticed Rong Xingyu back then?
The realization hit him like a boomerang slamming into his knee.
His heart felt filled with lead, sinking deeper and deeper.
"But—"
Ding Wei suddenly thought of the reason Ding Yixin had used to turn down Rong Xingyu earlier.
"Uncle, didn’t you just say your age difference is too big, that it’s not suitable?"
Ding Yixin suddenly laughed. "Age?"
He didn’t answer, because he never saw that as a real problem.
As for why he said those words to Rong Xingyu earlier...
The smile on Ding Yixin’s face deepened.
He patted Ding Wei’s shoulder. "Ding Wei, your uncle has finally met someone he likes. You will give your blessing, right?"
Ding Wei felt like his throat was stuffed with cotton.
Nothing came out.
He didn’t want to say yes, but "no" also couldn’t leave his mouth.
"No matter what trouble happened between you two before, for your uncle’s sake, don’t hold it against him. And when you see Yuyu again, remember to call him Little Aunt."
Ding Wei: "..."
Little... Little Aunt???
...
The next morning, when Rong Xingyu woke up and remembered what he had done last night, he bent over and covered his head with his hands.
His whole face turned red, like it would start steaming.
What on earth had he said last night?!
Not only did he confess to Dr. Ding just like that...
He even said he would like him forever.
And he had leaned all over Dr. Ding, breathing toward the man’s mouth, insisting he smell the scent of the alcohol on his breath???
Rong Xingyu froze halfway through pulling his own hair.
He brought his fingers together in front of his lips, breathed out, and leaned in to smell.
Luckily, he didn’t have bad breath...
Rong Xingyu fell back on the bed and covered his face with a pillow.
But Dr. Ding said he liked him too!
Rong Xingyu rolled back and forth on the bed.
Dr. Ding said he liked him too!
...
June in Liaofang City had not yet reached the hottest time of the year.
Especially around four or five in the afternoon, the heat in the air slowly faded and even the cicadas in the trees grew quieter.
Normally at this hour, the students of Qibao Dwith School were still in class.
But today..
er Liu Xin of the Liaofang Tonight News stood under a tree’s shade while staring at the school gate without blinking.
There were quite a lot of mosquitoes here and she stomped her foot impatiently.
She checked the time again.
It was not yet four-thirty.
She still had to wait a while.
Beside her stood a young man carrying a camera.
He was a new intern at the newspaper, fresh out of university.
Her usual partner was sick and went to the hospital today, so she had no choice but to let this intern fill in.
She looked at the excited young man beside her and quietly sighed.
Hopefully today would not go wrong.
The intern stared at the row of luxury cars parked outside the school, his eyes practically glowing.
No exaggeration, his four years of college living expenses combined couldn’t buy half a wheel of one of those cars.
Today really opened his eyes.
He clicked his tongue twice, then leaned close to Liu Xin and whispered, "Sister Liu, what kind of background do these students have? Looking at these cars, I thought I was at a car show!"
Liu Xin: "..."
She glanced quickly over the cars.
The cars weren’t even the main point—
The license plates on them were.
Liu Xin lowered her voice and reminded the intern, "Be careful. No matter what background they have, they’re not people we can afford to offend."
The young man nodded quickly and even made a gesture like he was zipping his mouth shut.
But even with his mouth closed, his eyes kept sneaking looks over there.
He had always been a car lover and knew a lot about different cars.
Now that he suddenly saw so many luxury cars at once, of course he couldn’t stay calm.
Especially the red sports car parked not far from them.
Ah! Look at that bright, burning-sun red color! Look at that smooth and perfect shape!
God, it was too cool! It was literally the car of his dreams!
He felt like he could imagine the sexy sound of its engine when it started, even with his eyes closed.
The intern was so excited that his face was getting red.
Just then, he saw the big gate of Qibao Dwith School slowly open and a student in school uniform walked out.
He quickly shouted to Liu Xin who was still lowering her head checking the equipment, "Sister Liu, Sister Liu! A student is coming out!!"
Liu Xin jerked her head up.
When she saw the boy standing at the school gate, her expression also became excited.
There was no time to check the equipment again.
She entered work mode instantly, rushed forward in her high heels and didn’t forget to call the intern to hurry up and follow her.
The boy was still standing at the Qibao Dwith School school gate, looking around like he was searching for someone.
When Liu Xin ran closer and saw his face clearly, she couldn’t help freezing for a moment.
