Chapter 635: Chapter 635: Self-Taught
At this moment, she suddenly realized the immense power a man can exert over a woman.
He was holding her with just one hand, not using much force for fear of hurting her, yet no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t break free.
Rong Ling kissed her without saying a word.
At this moment, his mind was also a bit chaotic.
He didn’t understand why he was so earnest in acting with her.
This was the first time he had kissed a woman.
Du Shaoheng had just entered the hall when something in the corner caught his eye.
He looked toward the corner and saw the scene, his breath slightly unsteady.
From his angle, he could only see Li Yufei being kissed by Rong Ling, as if she was lost in his tender kiss.
Du Shaoheng’s expression was slightly cold and tense, and suddenly, he turned and left.
Rong Ling looked up and saw Du Shaoheng’s retreating figure before loosening his grip on Li Yufei.
Once released, Li Yufei, now free with her hands, instinctively raised her hand, ready to slap him.
Rong Ling swiftly caught her white wrist: "Sister, are you angry?"
Li Yufei’s face, as white as an egg, flushed bright red: "What do you think this is?!"
Rong Ling pulled her by the waist, forcing her to turn slightly.
Li Yufei was caught off guard seeing Du Shaoheng’s leaving silhouette.
Her heart skipped a beat, assuming Du Shaoheng had surely caught sight of her intimate moment with Rong Ling just now.
Rong Ling said: "I did it on purpose for him to see."
Li Yufei said: "Why did you overdo it?"
Rong Ling said: "Because he doesn’t believe we are seeing each other. He just asked me if I was an actor you hired, so I had to ’prove myself innocent’."
Li Yufei’s facial muscles twitched slightly: "Why would he suspect... that we were just acting?"
Rong Ling said: "That’s why I said your acting wasn’t good. You didn’t look like my girlfriend at all."
Li Yufei said: "In that case, I’m sorry, I haven’t been in a relationship for a long time."
Rather than not having been in a relationship for a long time, it was more accurate to say that since breaking up with Du Shaoheng, she had never really let another man into her heart.
Rong Ling said: "Then do you know, you are my ’first love’?"
As he spoke, he took her hand, hooked it around his arm, and wrapped his arm around her waist, forcing her to come closer: "Don’t stand so far away, okay? It makes it look like we’re not close."
Li Yufei coolly said: "Have you really never dated before? Why do I feel like you’re very skilled at kissing?"
Rong Ling: "Maybe it’s a talent, so self-taught."
After speaking, he held her as they walked toward the banquet hall.
In the corner,
Junjun and Momo were sitting together.
Han had been taken by Du Huaixi to play a little game.
The two precocious kids weren’t interested in childish games and were sitting idle on the sidelines.
Junjun was drinking milk tea when Momo suddenly nudged his arm: "Look."
Junjun followed Momo’s pointed direction.
Li Yufei returned to the banquet hall arm in arm with Rong Ling.
Junjun frowned slightly but said nothing.
Momo said: "This man is so young, he doesn’t look very old."
Junjun said: "I heard he’s only twenty-three."
Momo said: "If your mom marries this man, he’ll become your stepdad."
Junjun said: "As long as my mom likes him and he treats her well, I’m willing to acknowledge him as a father."
In this regard, Junjun’s thinking was quite open-minded.
Although he was still young, at an age where he didn’t understand what love was, he felt that since Dad had his own family, Mom also had the right to choose her own life.
No matter whether she chooses to stay single or look for another partner, it’s her freedom.
Momo said: "But I see your dad doesn’t seem very happy."
Momo’s sharp observation noticed from the moment Rong Ling appeared, Du Shaoheng’s expression turned unpleasant.
Junjun said: "Why should he be unhappy?"
He didn’t understand.
He didn’t even feel unhappy.
Momo said: "Maybe he still cares about your mom!"
Junjun: "It’s normal to care, because of me, Mom and Dad now seem like half-family members."
Momo said: "I get the feeling that his caring for your mom isn’t out of family responsibility, but rather unresolved feelings."
He looked at Junjun, earnestly saying: "Your dad must have loved your mom very much in the past, which is why he still hasn’t let go."
Junjun heard this and laughed.
He looked at Momo, his pretty eyebrows slightly raised: "He already has Aunt Guan Yue and Xixi, what reason does he have not to let go? If he still has unresolved feelings for my mom, then he’s being unfair to Aunt Guan Yue and Xixi."
Momo said: "Yes, I think when it’s time to let go, one should let go. To me, at least your mom has moved on; I think your dad should too. I originally thought your dad had moved on, but when I saw his expression when he saw that man just now, I realized he hasn’t completely let go."
Junjun: "Then I will dislike him."
Momo laughed: "You know, sometimes these adults aren’t as clear-headed as children."
Junjun said: "Actually, I don’t understand my dad."
Momo tilted his little head: "What do you mean?"
Junjun said: "I don’t know what love is like, but if I love someone, I would love them forever, keep loving them. If I were him, unless I truly let go in my heart, I wouldn’t marry another woman until she has a change of heart."
After a pause, he said somewhat dejectedly: "I really hope Mom meets someone who only has eyes for her and no room for any other woman."
He couldn’t comment on the past between Dad and Mom.
As their child, he was an outsider, merely a blood link between them with no right to judge.
But he still felt a little regret.
If only Dad had held on a little longer, a little more.
They all could have had a complete family.
But then...
He wouldn’t have such a cute sister like Xixi!
His heart was conflicted, but perhaps life needs regrets; a perfect life doesn’t exist.
So, if Mom really likes this man, he chooses to respect and bless her, and is willing to genuinely accept this man as his father.
Moreover...
Junjun playfully said: "On a closer look, this guy is quite handsome! Mom has good taste."
Momo laughed: "Who do you think is more handsome, your dad or this man?"
Junjun: "..."
How can he compare?
He felt both had their unique handsomeness.
"My dad is the most handsome." Junjun retorted: "Based on your judgment, who do you think is more handsome?"
Momo said: "I think... the younger one is still more handsome!"
