Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting

Chapter 894 - 653: The King’s Return (Part 2)

Ding Jiashi immediately connected him with that... ex-fiancé mentioned by Su Xiaomeng after hearing what Ren Yixuan said.His hand was still holding Rong Qiao’s arm.

This kind of scene was undeniably awkward.

Rong Qiao’s face alternated between red and pale, her gaze firmly focused on Ren Yixuan. Ding Jiashi, only glancing at Rong Qiao from the side, could sense the overwhelming mix of emotions in her eyes.

She... loves this man deeply, not only in the past, but still now.

"Miss Rong was always like this, never caring about the occasion or situation, prioritizing her own emotions even at her father’s birthday banquet."

Ren Yixuan spoke indifferently, yet this indifferent tone made Rong Qiao’s tears fall uncontrollably.

"I warned you, Miss Rong. I may bully Su Xiaomeng, but you cannot."

"..."

Su Xiaomeng swallowed, turning her head to look at Ren Yixuan.

He...

"Ha, Ren Yixuan, you’re still such a jerk! You’re wholeheartedly devoted to this woman! In the end, you’ll gain nothing!"

"..."

"You’ll regret it, the way you treat me, you’ll regret it!"

"Rong Qiao, enough."

Ding Jiashi quickly laughed and advised Rong Qiao, whose emotional outburst had already attracted the attention of some guests, with many casting curious looks in their direction.

"Mr. Ren, President Su, sorry, I’ll take Rong Qiao to the lounge."

Ren Yixuan nodded his head slightly.

Su Xiaomeng remained silent.

After Ding Jiashi led the emotionally overwhelmed Rong Qiao away, Ren Yixuan finally released his arm from around Su Xiaomeng’s shoulder,

"I got here in time, right? You weren’t hurt, were you?"

Su Xiaomeng tightly held her cup, spilling a bit of the lemon water inside, wetting her hand.

"Sorry, Yixuan... what I said earlier was pretty gross..."

"Weren’t you just trying to gross out Rong Qiao? If what you said wasn’t gross, how could it gross out Rong Qiao?"

Ren Yixuan shrugged, completely unconcerned about Su Xiaomeng’s words toward Rong Qiao earlier.

Su Xiaomeng glanced at Ren Yixuan again, then smiled and nudged him with her elbow,

"Thank you, I knew you had a big heart! By the way, a lot of high-ranking officials and dignitaries have shown up here for Rong Si’s sake, truly remarkable person he is."

Ren Yixuan yawned, then sat back down lazily in the lounge chair where Xiaomeng had been sitting, looking a bit sleepy.

"What’s wrong? Didn’t sleep well?"

"Pulled an all-nighter last night rushing a plan, only slept for a little over two hours. Didn’t feel it in the morning, but now in the afternoon, I’m tired."

Ren Yixuan rubbed his head and took a glass of red wine from the tray of the passing waiter, then patted the spot next to him,

"Sit down, why are you standing?"

"Oh, sure."

Su Xiaomeng sat next to Ren Yixuan.

"You really are a hands-on boss, pulling all-nighters at any given time. Aren’t you worried about ruining your health at this rate?"

"I know my limits."

"You’re living alone in Beijing now with nobody to take care of you... by the way, how are Uncle Ren and Aunt Ren doing these days?"

"They’re doing well! They’re talking about setting up blind dates for me every day."

"Pfft..."

Su Xiaomeng couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing!

Ren Yixuan shot her a sideways glance, "Is it that funny?"

Su Xiaomeng crossed her arms, "The way you say it, I can just imagine Uncle Ren and Aunt Ren being so anxious! But I remember Uncle Ren and Aunt Ren are quite proud, they probably wouldn’t bring your photo around looking for matches, right?"

She teased him.

Thinking of his parents carrying his photo around like a memorial photo in the neighborhood or matchmaking parks gave Ren Yixuan chills, and a shiver ran down his spine.

"Do you remember? There used to be a professional matchmaker in our neighborhood? They say that matchmaker had a particularly high success rate!"

"Oh, that old lady, right? She must be in her sixties or seventies by now?"

Su Xiaomeng nodded eagerly, smiling,

"I saw in our elementary school chat group recently, someone said their family asked them to register with that old lady!"

"..."

"Why don’t you find some time to register too, make yourself known? You’re so impressive, if that old lady has any good girls, she’ll definitely show you first!"

"Su Xiaomeng."

"Hmm?"

"Let me say something... Yin Shixiu is no longer around, and you’re single now too. How about we both go register together?"

"..."

"Hmph! Worry about yourself. When did you ever need to worry about me?"
