Besides that, they had never exchanged anything more than a superfluous word.
Out of courtesy, Rong Shaoze gave her a slight nod, "Hello."
Rong’s mother seized the opportunity to pull him to sit and warmly invited Fang Fang to take a seat as well.
Rong Shaoze’s expression was indifferent as he looked around and asked, "Mom, has Xinlan come back yet?"
Rong’s mother glanced at Fang Fang. Her smile remained, and her complexion showed no sign of unusualness.
Feeling relieved inside, she answered Rong Shaoze lightly, "She’s an adult now, does she need to report to me when she comes back? I haven’t seen her, I don’t know where she has gone."
Rong Shaoze immediately took out his phone, about to dial Lin Xinlan’s number.
Rong’s mother grabbed his hand and, with a threatening look in her eyes, smiled at him, "Entertain Fang Fang for me, I’ll go brew some fine tea for you to try. Fang Fang is my honored guest, you must not neglect her!"
Having said that, she got up and left, intentionally leaving the space for the two of them.
Rong Shaoze had no intention of entertaining Fang Fang. He stood up and said to her, "Please make yourself comfortable, call the servant if you need anything."
He then lifted his foot to leave when Fang Fang suddenly called out to him.
"Big Brother Rong, wait a moment!"
Rong Shaoze halted in his steps and turned his head to look at her.
Fang Fang’s face was red as she mustered the courage to say, "Do you... really dislike me? Actually, I was forced to come here by my father too, Big Brother Rong. If you dislike it, you can tell me straight. Otherwise, it will make me wait in vain and harbor unrealistic hopes."
Her words were somewhat direct, but they were honest.
Even if one disregarded Rong Shaoze’s family background, just the sight of his handsome and elegant appearance was enough to captivate any woman.
If he was uninterested, it was best to say it.
Otherwise, it would only make her fall deeper and eventually unable to extricate herself.
It must be said that Fang Fang was also a frank and considerate person.
Rong Shaoze softened his expression and said, "I have a woman I love, and we have a son together, Miss Fang. You are a good girl."
But you are not suitable for me.
He didn’t say the latter sentence, but Fang Fang understood.
She felt a little let down, but not too badly, not enough to make her sad and upset.
She stood up and smiled, "In that case, I shall take my leave. I hope to have the chance to celebrate at your wedding."
The corner of Rong Shaoze’s mouth curved into a nice arc, making him look even more dazzling and handsome, causing Fang Fang’s heart to suddenly race.
Unfortunately, this man would never belong to her.
"Don’t worry, you will definitely be invited when the time comes," he assured.
Rong’s mother came out with the tea and seeing them standing, asked puzzledly, "Why are you all standing? Sit down, the tea I brewed is just right to drink now."
"Madam Rong, I will skip the tea. I have something to attend to and must leave now. Thank you for your hospitality," Fang Fang said politely with a smile.
Rong’s mother set down the tray and hurriedly asked, "Why are you leaving so soon? Stay a while longer, you young people should talk more. If you find it too boring at home, you could go outside. I know a nice restaurant..."
"Mom, Miss Fang does have things to attend to. I’ll see her out," he said.
Rong’s mother was pleased, mistaking that the two had taken a liking to each other, and she immediately nodded happily, "Alright, take Miss Fang out. Fang Fang, remember to visit our home again, and I’ll prepare something delicious for you."
Fang Fang smiled without saying a word.
"Miss Fang, let’s go," Rong Shaoze said as he headed towards the door.
Lin Xinlan walked in, just in time to bump into him.
