She wanted Rong Yanqiao to know that she was doing well.
But the moment she spoke, she realized that even though she wasn’t doing well, she had to say she was. That facade of composure and strength was really hard to bear.
Rong Yanqiao smiled and responded, "Don’t think about it, everything will pass."
Hopefully, all this will pass.
Rong Qingze and Xu Shaodong met to discuss the auction and the Lu family.
A priceless necklace would appear at this auction, named "Heart of the Ocean." It was said that this necklace once belonged to a queen consort of some king.
Those who acquired it afterwards all lived happy lives, blessed with good fortune and abundant descendants.
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingze became intrigued and was determined to bid for it as a gift for Rong Yanqiao.
Seeing this, Xu Shaodong couldn’t help but tease him, "I never thought you’d be the type to dream it and do it!"
Rong Qingze replied casually, referring to matters of the heart.
As long as Xu Shaodong wanted, Xu Wei would have no chance to marry someone else; Xu Shaodong orchestrated all this himself.
Instead of teasing him, Xu Shaodong should reflect on himself.
Xu Shaodong let out a cold laugh, "You think I’m like you?" Latest content published on novel★fire.net
"You know very well whether you and Xu Wei are blood-related." Rong Qingze’s lips moved slightly, his voice a bit cold.
Madam Xu had a difficult labor, and the child was not saved.
Three days later, a baby girl appeared by Madam Xu’s side.
He was 7 years old then.
Xu Shaodong’s throat constricted, his breathing became somewhat unsteady, and he took a step back.
Rong Qingze said, "Many things are within one’s grasp. If you don’t want to take hold of them, they will naturally drift away from you. The cruise docks at midnight, my wife is still waiting for me, I’m heading back first."
Throwing out these words, Rong Qingze didn’t wait for Xu Shaodong’s reply and turned to leave.
Xu Shaodong smoked an entire pack of cigarettes before leaving the place; he went to find Xu Wei.
When Jiang Xun saw Xu Shaodong, he instinctively asked, "Bro, is there something you need? Xu Wei went to her friend’s place. If it’s urgent, I can go get her."
Jiang Xun’s face was gentle, showing respect for him.
Jiang Xun really liked Xu Wei for many years, always persistent, striving, and never doubting anything.
With someone like Jiang Xun, Xu Wei would eventually be moved.
"No need, telling you is the same. The cruise won’t dock until midnight, so you both should rest well now." With these words, Xu Shaodong turned away.
Jiang Xun didn’t rush to call Xu Wei either.
But when Xu Wei saw Rong Qingze pushing the door open, she already knew it was time to withdraw completely.
"Qiaoqiao, I’m a bit tired, going to rest first."
Rong Yanqiao didn’t stop her.
However, after she left, Rong Yanqiao couldn’t help but complain to Rong Qingze, "How long have you been gone? I’m left with so little free time each day?"
She wasn’t acting anymore, nor going out, and now she finally had some activities, but still under his watchful eye, it was exhausting!
Rong Qingze said hoarsely, "I didn’t mean to interfere with you. She left as soon as I returned; it’s not my fault. I never said anything from start to finish."
He hadn’t said anything, so this couldn’t be pinned on her.
Rong Yanqiao glared at him, "If it weren’t for being afraid of you, Xu Wei wouldn’t have left. Rong Qingze, really, next time, don’t do this. Could you please give me a bit of freedom? I just want a tiny bit of alone time, okay?"
Rong Qingze acquiesced, "Okay. When the cruise docks later, you and Xu Wei can go together. I’ll ask Jiang Bei to find some people to accompany you, is that okay?"
Even though it was frustrating, what could she say?
It was still 9 o’clock now, three hours until the cruise docked.
In those three hours, with Xu Wei gone, she stayed in the room feeling a bit down.
Rong Qingze handed her a script, "You can study this drama. Although it doesn’t have many scenes, they’re quite prominent."
He noticed that Rong Yanqiao became bored if she didn’t do anything.
She viewed acting as something to pass the time.
Sometimes, he saw her reading medical books, and he chose acting over resuming her old profession.
With something to do, Rong Yanqiao didn’t feel bored.
Xu Wei and Jiang Xun were in a room together, and she felt suffocated.
Especially when Jiang Xun told her, "Elder brother was here just now, he told me the cruise docking time. There’s still time, do you want to take a nap, or is there something you’d like to eat? I can order it for you from the hotel restaurant."
