After the birthday party, Long Qingshan and Tiantian asked Ruotong to go back to Long's house for one night, but Gao Yize insisted on sending Ruotong back.
"I saw you laughing all night long, what's so funny?" Gao Yize turned his head and asked Ruotong while driving.
Ruotong hurriedly covered her mouth and denied hypocritically: "It's nothing." She didn't tell Gao Yize the woman's secret, how embarrassing it was!
Gao Yize stared at her, his face slowly turning gloomy. "Is it because your fiancé invites you to dinner tomorrow night?"
When Long Qingshan told her about Ao Rui's invitation to dinner, he had already noticed that Ruotong was very happy after hearing this, and could even be described as cheering.
For some reason, the happier she was like a young girl in love, the more uncomfortable he felt, and there was no way he could congratulate her or bless her.
"No." Ruotong didn't notice Gao Yize's gloomy face, lowered his head and denied it hypocritically.
"You still say no, but your appearance has given you away." Gao Yize sighed, his voice sounding like he couldn't hide his melancholy and loss.
"Stop talking, let's talk about your affairs." Ruotong suggested, hoping to avoid talking about her topic.
"If I said that I have missed you every day for the past four years, would you believe it?" Gao Yize looked at Ruotong's face, which changed from melancholy to affectionate, but his tone was joking and disrespectful, in order to hide his sincerity.
"Believe it, why don't I believe it? What kind of friendship do we have? Of course I know your life will be very sad without me." Ruotong smiled and acted with him.
Gao Yize is a little disappointed. In the past four years, he has lived in Canada. The most difficult thing to forget about everything in China is this classmate and friend who has been with him since childhood. For many sleepless nights, he lay in bed, savoring the past alone.
All the memories with her.
He always thought that this kind of longing was just a habit. But the moment he saw Ruotong in the lounge of the private room today, his heart beat faster involuntarily, and his eyes couldn't help but focus on her.
"You haven't had a girlfriend in Canada in all these years?" Ruotong asked curiously, looking at him uncertainly.
Gao Yize is such an outstanding man. Not only does he have a prominent family background, he is also so handsome and sunny, and has such a gentle personality. She really doesn't want to believe that he really doesn't have a girlfriend.
Gao Yize turned to stare at her again and said, "No." His tone and eyes were extremely firm.
There are many women who pursue him, including simple Chinese students studying abroad and enthusiastic and open-minded foreign girls. However, the one he misses most is still the pure and natural girl who went to school with him every day since childhood - Long Ruotong.
"Why not?" Ruotong looked at him in surprise. It was so strange that such a handsome and rich man didn't have a girlfriend?
"For no reason, those women are not to my taste." Gao Yize drove the car, staring ahead, and answered lightly.
"Which one is better, a Chinese girl?" Ruotong asked him with a smile.
"Yes." He said firmly.
"I don't want you to marry a foreign woman either. If I were friends with her, it would be very difficult to communicate with her!" Ruotong said with an angry smile.
"I will not marry a foreign woman." He replied firmly.
Ruotong smiled at him, looking relieved.
"What about you, have you ever had a boyfriend?" Gao Yize looked at her deeply.
"Not before college." Ruotong answered honestly.
"What now?" This question made Gao Yize particularly concerned.
"If there is one, then he is my fiancé." Ruotong said with a smile. When she mentioned Ao Rui, her heart was as sweet as honey. Oh, she was so looking forward to her date with him tomorrow night!
Gao Yize looked at her, his expression gradually solidified, and his heart was hollowed out bit by bit. To be honest, this mood made him several times more uncomfortable than missing her every day for four years in Canada. After a long while, he finally found his lost state.
A melancholy voice asked Ruotong: "Do you like him that much?"
"We will discuss this issue later." Ruotong lowered her face.
It wasn't until he saw the shy blush on Ruotong's face that Gao Yize finally understood that Ruotong liked Ao Rui very much.
Ao Rui is indeed a very outstanding man. Not only does he have the appearance and family background that make women succeed, but the charm he exudes cannot be ignored.
For the first time, Gao Yize felt defeated.
"Don't you think about me?" he asked, trying to control his frustrated emotions.
Ruotong laughed at him and said, "Aren't you afraid that a lion like me will ask for generous betrothal gifts, and a vain woman will eat up all your family's money?"
"Our family's money is probably enough for you to eat for several lifetimes," a smile appeared on Gao Yize's face. He didn't mind Ruotong's "greed for money" at all, not to mention he knew that she was not the kind of woman who was greedy for vanity. "
The money I earn is meant to be spent. If you become my wife, you can spend as much as you like. Financially, I will definitely be a husband who indulges you."
"Since you are so sincere, I will consider it." Ruotong said nonchalantly to him.
When Gao Yize saw her perfunctory look, the little hope in his heart was shattered again. His hair was messed up by the wind outside the window, and his mood was also messy.
After sending Ruotong back to Long's house, he went directly back to Gao's house. That night, he lay in bed tossing and turning and had insomnia all night.
The next afternoon, Ao Rui received a call from her mother.
"Arui, did Monroe come back last night?" Zhu Surong asked. She was drinking tea, but she couldn't hide the deep smile on her lips.
"Mom, do you know if she's back?" Ao Rui said.
I don’t know if it was because he was taught by Monroe, but his mother, who had always been serious, actually started to act in a similar way, showing a cheerful side that was completely different from her cold appearance. However, he liked this kind of mother very much.
"I'm not you, how do I know if you did that in bed last night?" Zhu Surong smirked.
It's really hard to imagine that the always elegant mother would say such a thing. "She didn't come back last night." When Ao Rui answered her mother's question, a deep smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Then you must seize the opportunity and don't let Ruotong be chased away by the man she danced with last night." Zhu Surong kindly reminded her son. She also didn't like Ruotong falling into the arms of a man other than her son.
Thinking of the man who danced with Ruotong last night, Ao Rui felt an inexplicable unpleasant emotion in his heart. This emotion was very complicated. No woman had ever been able to influence him like this.
"You are going to have dinner with Ruotong tonight, right?" Zhu Surong asked.
"Yes." Ao Ruiyan replied simply and comprehensively.
"Girls like to hear nice words and sweet words. What I'm most afraid of is you, an ice sculpture man, just sitting there and not saying anything nice. Rui, in front of girls, you have to put away your indifference. No woman likes to hug someone.
It's so cold to sleep on ice." Although her son is smart, he has no experience in love. In order to marry Ruotong home, she has to teach her son to become a lovable man.
Ao Rui stared at the desk with his dark eyes, saying nothing, but in his heart he was thinking about how to get along with Long Ruotong tonight. He still couldn't see through Long Ruotong's motives for approaching him. Could she really treat him?
Is it just perfunctory hypocrisy? As soon as he thought about this, a feeling of displeasure mixed with anger surged in his heart again.
"Arui, let me tell you, I am determined to have Ruotong as my daughter-in-law, and you must help me marry her home." Zhu Surong, who had always been indulgent to her son, "gave orders" to her son for the first time in her life.
When she thought about having a grandson in her arms soon, she didn't mind being a verbose old man. Moreover, she knew that her son really liked Ruotong. However, he might not be able to see her heart clearly.
Marriage? He won't consider this issue for the time being. His current thought is to restore the disadvantage and dominate the game between him and Long Ruotong. Long Ruotong can play with him, and of course he can play with Long Ruotong.
"How did mom recognize Monroe?" Ao Rui asked.
Based on the surprised expression on his mother's face when she saw Ruotong last night, he thought that Monroe must have deceived his mother, but why didn't his mother seem angry at all, but seemed happy with it?
"How did you recognize her?" Zhu Surong asked her son.
"My eyesight is better than ordinary people." Ao Rui said lightly. If it weren't for Monroe's unique fresh smell, he might not have recognized her so easily.
Her body fragrance made him very happy.
"I am also more attentive than others." Zhu Surong spoke to her son in the same tone as her son, and played riddles with him. She thought that since she could recognize Monroe, there was no reason for her son to continue to be deceived.
Although she didn't have much contact with Monroe, when she saw Monroe for the first time, she intuitively told her that Monroe was not an ordinary woman.
A person's temperament cannot be learned or concealed. It will naturally emanate from the inside out. Although Monroe wears heavy makeup, her appearance is still stunning. The most distinctive thing is her clear pupils.
Her aura is compelling, and she looks very cunning and intelligent. Even though she looks charming, she still can't hide her lovely delicacy.
When they met for the first time, she was attracted by the contradictory temperament exuded by Monroe, and she fell in love with Monroe almost instantly.
"I know there is a secret between you and her." Ao Rui chuckled.
"Arui, as long as you are careful enough, you can easily discover a person's true heart hidden under the usual appearance," Zhu Surong said with a smile: "There is a secret between me and her, that's because I am better than you."
Be more careful, the reason why you are deceived is because you are too careless and you underestimate your woman too much."
Yes, even though Ao Rui had doubted Monroe, he was not willing to spend more time studying her, so Monroe was emboldened, and the more she played, the more fun she had, and she deceived him.
It seems that he will have to be extra careful when getting along with each other in the future.
