Chapter 888: Chapter 118: Little Rui, I’m Taking You Home [Part 2]

His attention was caught by Tang Yige’s call of "baby".

Rong Rui lifted his little head from Yige’s shoulder, staring at Yige with big, black eyes, his chubby face blushing, "You called me...baby?"

Tang Yige looked at Rong Rui’s plump little face, feeling a bit heartache inside, "Hmm, you are my baby, my darling baby."

"..." Isn’t Little Gege being a bit too forward?

Even if she likes him a lot, there’s no need to be so mushy, right?

It’s making him embarrassed.

Little Rui spread his chubby hands, covering his own eyes, yet his plump little mouth curled into a smile.

Tang Yige gazed at Rong Rui’s cute little gesture, and all she wanted was to cry.

Tang Yige lowered her head, her trembling red lips softly pressed against Rong Rui’s cheek, carefully, as if Rong Rui were a fragile piece of glass.

"Little Rui, my baby."

Tang Yige held Rong Rui more tightly, and for a moment, she couldn’t hold back the tears bursting from her eyes.

"Little Rui, my baby, my baby..."

Tang Yige pressed her face closely against Rong Rui’s little face, tears streaming down her cheeks, falling onto Rong Rui’s little face, and from there, downwards, disappearing into his neck.

Rong Rui felt a bit cold.

He shrugged his neck lightly, removed his hands from his eyes, and hugged Tang Yige once more.

His little chubby hands patted Yige’s back in a comforting manner, "Little Gege, now you realize how much you like me, how important I am, don’t cry. You know, I’m the one who cares for you the most, so I don’t blame you for what happened before. From now on, we’ll be together well. You wait obediently for me to grow up, and I’ll marry you right away. Don’t worry, I can guarantee I’ll never change my heart towards you. Okay, okay, stop crying now. My heart is aching. Look at you, why are you crying even harder?"

Rong Rui sighed, his little hands cradling Yige’s head, lifting her face from his, "pampering" her as he wiped her tears away.

Tang Yige, her eyes blurred with tears, looked at Rong Rui’s face, unable to stop crying.

Sitting in the car, Rong Mochen watched the scene at the entrance of the quadrangle courtyard, confusion held within his dark eyes.

He lifted his gaze from the rearview mirror to look at Rong Sinan.

But he saw Rong Sinan’s eyes bloodshot, staring unwaveringly at Tang Yige and Rong Rui.

Rong Mochen noticed this, and a bold thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Big brother, could that child be your and Yige’s flesh and blood?" Rong Mochen furrowed his brow, looking at Rong Sinan.

"Yes." Rong Sinan did not deny it, admitting readily.

Rong Mochen, "..."

...

Inside the quadrangle courtyard.

Rong Mochen and Rong Sinan sat on the stone stools around the round table under the tree in the yard.

Tang Yige carried Rong Rui into Rong Rui’s room.

Zhang Lan stood dumbfounded at the kitchen door, suspiciously looking in the direction of Rong Rui’s room.

"Big brother, what’s going on?" Rong Mochen looked at Rong Sinan, who was also looking at Rong Rui’s room, and asked with a hint of doubt.

Upon hearing Rong Mochen’s question, Rong Sinan turned his gaze from Rong Rui’s room, falling on Rong Mochen.

At this point, Rong Sinan had nothing left to hide, and said, "Back then, when Yige left Z City alone for Canada, she discovered she was pregnant. When the child was seven months old, Tang Ruan schemed to take the baby from Yige’s belly and bribed the hospital doctor to tell Yige that the child had died in her womb. Later, Tang Ruan took Little Rui to France, bought a house in a suburb and asked Aunt Zhang to take care of Little Rui."

Aunt Zhang?

Rong Mochen’s eyes slightly narrowed as he glanced at Zhang Lan, who was watching worriedly in the direction of Rong Rui from the kitchen, and then said, "And then?"

"Perhaps it was fate, Yiyi traveled around France this year, and the house she rented happened to be adjacent to the one Tang Ruan bought back then. Yiyi met Little Rui."

At this point, Rong Sinan’s voice held a touch of warmth, "A few months ago, when you were dealing with Tang Ruan, you arranged for me to travel abroad, deliberately sending me away."

Uh...

Rong Mochen’s eyes twitched slightly.

Seeing Rong Mochen furrowing his brow slightly, his expression a bit unnatural, Rong Sinan smiled, "Do you think I don’t know what you were planning? Mochen, I know everything you do as an elder brother." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Uh...

Several black lines slid down the back of Rong Mochen’s head.

Looking at Rong Sinan.

Rong Sinan squinted, "Including the time when you made Tang Ruan have an abortion, rendering her infertile forever, I knew."

Uh...

"...Big brother, actually."

"Yes, Tang Ruan wasn’t carrying my child." Rong Sinan said.

Uh...

Rong Mochen really needed to see his big brother in a new light.

Watching someone who seems indifferent all day, not caring, not showing emotions, it’s like there’s a mirror placed in their heart, very clear.

"After marrying Tang Ruan, although we slept together every night, I have never touched her. Since I didn’t touch her, how could she be pregnant with my child?"

Rong Sinan’s refined face showed a cold sharpness.

"..." Rong Mochen was slightly surprised, he hadn’t touched Tang Ruan?

Facing Rong Mochen’s questioning gaze, Rong Sinan was very candid, "I have no desire for her in that respect. Marrying her was just a way to cut off my feelings for Yige."

Rong Mochen pursed his thin lips, "If you liked Yige, why break it off?"

Rong Sinan gave a self-mocking smile, "Because I thought the person in Yige’s heart was Lei Yicheng."

How could that be?

Rong Mochen squinted his eyes.

From childhood to adulthood, everyone knew that Yige loved Rong Sinan and only cared about him.

Why did he think Yige liked Lei Yicheng?

"Do you find my idea ridiculous? Totally illogical?" Rong Sinan’s expression was slightly bitter.

"Yes." Rong Mochen was brutally honest.

Rong Sinan was slightly startled, then smiled, "If I told you, back then I even thought Yige slept with Lei Yicheng, you’d probably think I’m the most foolish man in the world!"

Yige slept with Yicheng?

"Nonsense!" Rong Mochen’s voice was deep.

Rong Sinan’s eyes burned, he didn’t speak for dozens of seconds.

Rong Mochen frowned and stared at Rong Sinan, "Yige has always had only you in her heart, treating her like this is unfair."

"...Indeed. It’s been my inferiority complex at work all along. Yige is the way she is today, all because of me. Back then, if I hadn’t easily believed in those unfounded rumors and had trusted Yige, she and I would surely be very happy now." Rong Sinan’s voice was choked.

Rong Mochen’s high nose slightly wrinkled, "Any doubt cannot arise from nothing."

"Indeed." Rong Sinan smiled bitterly.

Rong Mochen looked at him, "So, was it Tang Ruan’s work again?"

Rong Sinan said nothing, but his gentle brows suddenly tightened.

Seeing this, Rong Mochen knew he guessed right.

"She played Yiyi’s recording for me."

Rong Sinan closed his eyes in anger.

More than ten years ago, Tang Ruan used Yige’s recording to frame her, and now, over a decade later, she used his recording to slander him.

No matter the time, her methods have never changed. They are always so insidious and vicious!

And he foolishly believed it!

"What recording?"

As soon as the word "recording" was mentioned, Rong Mochen instinctively thought of Jin Jumo.

After all, Jin Jumo’s university major was dubbing.

If Tang Ruan played Yige’s recording for Rong Sinan.

Rong Mochen didn’t need to think about the content to know it’s nothing good.

Since it’s not anything good, it surely wasn’t really said by Tang Yige.

Rong Sinan would surely be able to distinguish Tang Yige’s voice.

So there are only two possibilities.

One is that Tang Ruan deliberately guided Yige to say things she wanted to hear, then edited them into the content she wanted Rong Sinan to hear.

The second possibility is using professional dubbing to mimic Tang Yige’s voice and produce the recording Tang Ruan wanted Rong Sinan to believe.

But no matter which one, Tang Ruan deserves to die!

"In the recording, Yige said she couldn’t possibly marry someone like me, a cripple. The reason she appeared to continue loving me and acting devoted was simply to maintain her image of being kind, loyal, and unyielding among all of us."

When Rong Sinan said this, his eyes were tightly closed.

His fists were also pressed firmly against his thighs.

After hearing this, Rong Mochen’s long brows immediately locked tightly, looking at Rong Sinan with a complicated expression.

Back then, Rong Sinan was left disabled in his left leg to save him.

Worried that he would feel guilty, Rong Sinan always acted as if he didn’t care in front of him and others.

But is it really possible not to care?
