In the VIP room on the second floor.
Rong Linyi was frowning a little when he looked down at his phone.
His woman hadn’t called him yet.
Since when did shopping take so long?
Damn it. If he had known, he would have sent someone to watch over her. At the very least, he would have asked for her friend’s number and name.
It was already so late. Did she eat dinner? Was the dinner nutritious?
She was pregnant with twins and really shouldn’t be eating outside.
The things outside were not clean and hygienic, much less nutritious.
He really couldn’t let her do as she pleased.
If he had known, he wouldn’t have come to this birthday banquet and watched over her at home…
“There’s no time like the present. Why don’t our families settle the important matters here today?” Commander Cheng, who was sitting not far away from the Old Master, spoke up while staring at Rong Linyi.
But Rong Linyi turned a deaf ear to him. He only held his phone hesitantly.
“Yi’er.” The Old Master’s dignified voice pulled Rong Linyi back to the scene. “Do you have this intention?”
Rong Linyi looked up indifferently. “What intention?”
His heart was filled with his woman and he didn’t hear a single thing that others said.
He looked up and found that the whole room was filled with people looking at him with different expressions.
Commander Cheng looked at him with sickly affection, while Cheng Tingxue appeared shyly beside him.
Not to mention Rong Xuelong, who was beside Madam Rong, looked like she was enjoying a good show.
Seeing that Rong Linyi was completely lost, Rong Xuelong chuckled.
“I knew it. This younger brother of mine is heartless. The whole family is anxious about your marriage, but you’re standing at the side and pretending to be innocent?”
Rong Xuelong’s voice rose and she seemed to be making trouble. “Are you still missing your little lover whom you are hiding at home?”
When she finished speaking, the whole room was silent.
Rong Linyi’s expression was extremely dark. “Rong Xuelong, some things cannot be said carelessly.”
“You know how much your sister likes to talk nonsense.” Madam Rong smiled and tried to ease the atmosphere. “If you have any objections, the two of you can go out and fight later. But now, we are discussing your marriage with Ms. Cheng.”
“Marriage?” Rong Linyi’s voice was breathless.
Cheng Tingxue, who had experienced Young Master Yi’s annoyance before, couldn’t help but shiver.
Jiang Chengxi’s words still echoed in her ears: Ms. Cheng, don’t worry. I will destroy the evidence. If Rong Linyi asks me for confirmation, I will do my best to help you. You just have to tell everyone openly that you have already slept with him. With your uncle’s power, would Rong Linyi dare to not marry you?
Cheng Tingxue clenched her fists and showed a weak and timid look.
“Yi, I’m sorry. About what happened between us that night… I already told Aunt Rong and Uncle. I didn’t want to force you, but Uncle…” She said and looked at Commander Cheng beside her.
“Young Master Yi, as an elder, I shouldn’t be asking about young people’s business. But you have to know that…” Commander Cheng’s words seemed to be clear, but they also seemed to contain a sense of arrogance. “Your Rong family is a prestigious family, and our Cheng family is of status as well. Since you and our Tingxue have progressed to such a stage, there’s no need to hesitate. Get married as soon as possible and solve one of the elders’ worries.”
