After Rong Xuan saw Gu Ye’s WeChat message, she knew why Rong Yi didn’t go home with her today. She must have gone to watch Gu Ye play basketball.
Hence, Rong Xuan could now understand what Rong Yi’s expression meant as she looked at her at that time.
Thinking of Rong Yi standing in front of the car with a complacent look of ‘I know Gu Ye is playing today but you, his fiancée, don’t know’ and ‘I’m going to see Gu Ye play but you, his fiancée, aren’t going’, Rong Xuan didn’t know what to say. The other Rong Xuan was a female supporting character in the novel and at least had a relationship with the male protagonist as his fiancée. However, Rong Yi was just a passerby in the story. She’s not even a female supporting character and had not much interaction with the male protagonist at all. If Rong Yi knew this fact, she would probably be so angry that her face would distort.
Rong Xuan randomly found a small animal emoji and sent it to Gu Ye, then put down the phone.
———
Gu Ye raised an eyebrow when he saw the emoji Rong Xuan sent him. It was a small animal with a flower on its head and a line of words beside it, ‘Here’s a little flower for you’.
A little flower for him? One flower wasn’t enough.
Gu Ye thought for a moment and instead of logging out of WeChat, he directly tossed his phone to Hao Qiang, who was sitting on the sidelines. “Qiangzi, I’m giving you a task.”
Hao Qiang readily promised and spoke confidently, “Boss, tell me, I’ll definitely complete the task you assigned successfully.”
“When I score later, film it and send it to her.”
Hao Qiang nodded hurriedly to show that he understood, but after thinking about it, he realized that he had overlooked something.
Send it to her? To whom? Thinking this, Hao Qiang glanced down at the phone and was almost blinded by the two words in the upper left corner of the chat interface.
Little Bride.
So, Boss was really sending a message to that little mute? The girls at the back were truly observant fans and their guess wasn’t wrong.
Right now Boss was actually asking him to send a video of every time he scored to that little mute.
Hao Qiang scratched his head. Since Gu Ye asked him and he had agreed, he would naturally strive to do it well.
But so many girls have come while Boss’s fiancée didn’t show up. He even had to have someone broadcast it to her live. Wasn’t this a bit unreasonable?
Gu Ye was soon back on the court and Hao Qiang held up the mobile phone, ready to capture the brilliant moments of Gu Ye’s play.
Suddenly, he remembered something. Shouldn’t he say hello to Rong Xuan first? Otherwise, Rong Xuan wouldn’t know who was holding Gu Ye’s phone.
With this thought, Hao Qiang sent a message to Rong Xuan.
“Hello, Little Sister-in-law, I’m Hao Qiang. I’ll be the one broadcasting Boss’s game for you.”
Rong Xuan looked surprised when she received this WeChat message.
Broadcasting the game? Was it live stream? Or video call?
She refused. It’s impossible for her to agree to a video call since it wasn’t convenient for her right now.
But the main question was, why broadcast it to her? She actually didn’t like watching basketball games that much. If she had that time, she might as well do something she likes.
Rong Xuan was originally ready to refuse the video call request, but after she received one short video after another, she realized that she thought wrong. It turned out to be real time recording using short videos.
She clicked on a video sent by Hao Qiang.
The sound in the background was very lively. One could immediately tell that it was filled with screams and shouts of girls.
Hao Qiang focused the camera on Gu Ye alone. Gu Ye dribbled the ball, Gu Ye jumped up to make a shot, Gu Ye smiled and high-fived his teammates after scoring……
In the end, in this practice match, although Rong Xuan didn’t personally come to watch, because there was Hao Qiang sending videos to her too often, rounding it up a bit, she could also be considered to have passively watched the game.
Naturally, some people noticed Hao Qiang, who was taking videos every now and then.
A girl asked, “What is he doing with Gu Ye’s phone?”
“It seems like he’s taking videos?”
The girl went on to ask, “Who is he filming it for?”
“How should I know? It’s a bit far away so I can’t see clearly.”
At this time, someone tentatively interjected, “Perhaps Gu Ye wants his friend to help record his cool appearance?”
It’s not like it hasn’t happened before.
When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense and they didn’t take Hao Qiang, who was holding the phone, to heart anymore.
———
Because Rong Yi came back late, the Rong family’s dinner was not served until eight o’clock in the evening.
Rong Yao had a dinner party that night and wouldn’t come back to eat. There were only three people at the dining table, Ji Ning, her daughter, and Rong Xuan.
Rong Yi was chattering with a face full of excitement.
“Mom, you don’t even know how handsome Gu Ye looks when he plays. He’s in superb condition today and scored a lot.” For some reason, Rong Yi felt that Gu Ye was playing extra seriously today. When he played in the past, his attitude was always a bit perfunctory and he didn’t score as many as he did that day.
Ji Ning looked at Rong Yi with a smile, patiently listening to her.
After Rong Yi said so, she looked at Rong Xuan who was on the side, unable to stop the pride on her face from showing. “You didn’t go there so you have no idea how good the game was.”
Rong Xuan quietly lowered her head and took a mouthful of food. Although she didn’t go to the scene, she had sort of watched the entire game.
As a layman, she didn’t know much about basketball, however, she felt that Gu Ye did play well, with cool moves and a lot of fakes. No wonder there were so many girls watching.
Rong Yi bit her lip as she looked at Rong Xuan. She actually wanted to ask Rong Xuan if she had received a WeChat message from Gu Ye.
The fact that Gu Ye stepped out of the court to use his phone in the middle of a game made her mindful.
But facing Rong Xuan, she really couldn’t open her mouth. It seemed that if she did so, it was like lowering her head towards Rong Xuan. That’s something she definitely didn’t want to see.
Forget it, forget it, she’ll probe again next time.
At the dining table, Ji Ning finished her meal. She wiped her mouth with a napkin and said slowly, “Yiyi, you will accompany me to a charity dinner in a few days.”
Rong Yi nodded excitedly in response. A few moments later, she then asked knowingly, “Mom, is it just you and me?”
Ji Ning glanced at Rong Xuan, who was still drinking soup, and slightly raised the corners of her lips. “Yes.”
The smugness on Rong Yi’s face could no longer be hidden. “Mom, I don’t have any new clothes to wear.”
Ji Ning put down the napkin and looked particularly good natured. “Mom will accompany you to go shopping tomorrow afternoon.”
“Yay, Mom is the best.”
Rong Xuan listened to the conversation between the two quietly, her heart as undisturbed as an ancient well.
Attending some important occasions while only bringing her own daughter had already become Ji Ning’s usual tactic and it was no longer a surprise to outsiders. But if Rong Yao was also attending, a family of four would show up. He attaches great importance to appearance and would never leave Rong Xuan behind. However, on such occasions where Rong Yao wasn’t present, Ji Ning would only bring along her own daughter. Rong Yao wouldn’t say anything and others wouldn’t criticize her too much.
In fact, the other Rong Xuan didn’t care much about this kind of thing. She didn’t want to be alone with Ji Ning and her daughter, and Rong Xuan naturally didn’t want to either.
Ji Ning gently patted Rong Yi’s hand and deliberately said in front of Rong Xuan, “When the time comes, you’ll get to know a few more friends. One more friend means one more connection. There’s no harm in you befriending those people.”
Rong Yi listened attentively. She smiled and said, “I got it, Mom.”

The next day after school, Rong Yi was still dressed up beautifully and ready to continue watching Gu Ye play basketball. However, Rong Xuan didn’t take the family car home either. She had promised Tong Yue to go shopping with her.
The school she was currently attending in was in the city center and had large shopping malls nearby.
However, not long after Rong Xuan and Tong Yue left the school, the sound of car horns sounded continuously behind them.
It seemed to be following them on purpose which annoyed Tong Yue greatly.
She turned around to see which car was so thoughtless, honking after them. She might even swear if they upset her further. But when she turned around and saw a Bentley behind them, she held in her words.
A big shot driving a luxury car was someone she couldn’t afford to offend.
At this time, the back seat door opened and Gu Ye walked out of the car.
He was wearing a black coat, which made his appearance even more handsome.
He curled his lips and called out, “Little Bride.”
Rong Xuan was surprised to see Gu Ye. He wasn’t playing basketball today?
Then didn’t Rong Yi travel in vain?
Tong Yue’s face was also filled with surprise when she saw Gu Ye.
Who’s this?! Actually calling Rong Xuan little bride? At this moment, she noticed the ring on Gu Ye’s hand, which was the same as the ring on Rong Xuan’s finger.
So this big shot was the legendary fiancé of Rong Xuan?
After seeing Gu Ye’s face, Tong Yue wanted to scream loudly! So handsome!
She hurriedly said, “Xuanxuan, I’m leaving first. I’ll leave some space for you two, hahahahahaha.”
With that, Tong Yue left with a wink. She must share this shocking news with Mu Xiao at once.
Mu Xiao would never guess that Rong Xuan’s fiancé was actually a super handsome guy!
After Rong Xuan got in the car, she signaled with her eyes, asking Gu Ye why he came to see her.
Gu Ye didn’t say anything but frowned and carefully surveyed Rong Xuan’s face. “Little Bride, what’s wrong with your face?” He went back to ask someone about the ointment Rong Xuan had before. It was said to be a very effective scar removal product. He originally wanted to give Rong Xuan a better one but the doctor he consulted suggested that that one was enough and there was no need to change, so he gave up on it.
However, he still wasn’t clear about the condition of Rong Xuan’s face. As for his parents, they didn’t know Rong Xuan very well so they didn’t dare rashly ask about her face.
Rong Xuan looked at the palm stretched out in front of her eyes and was silent for a while. Gu Ye seemed to be getting more and more used to letting her write on his hand now and it’s becoming more natural.
She wrote on it, ‘Scratched’.
Was it just a scratch? So it wasn’t what he thought?
Gu Ye relaxed a little after learning so. He reached out and tried to take off the mask on Rong Xuan’s face. “Then let me look.”
Rong Xuan subconsciously leaned her head back. Her reaction was a bit big so Gu Ye raised his hands up and said, “Okay, okay, okay, I won’t look, I won’t look.”
Rong Xuan put the slightly crooked mask back on correctly.
Gu Ye thought for a moment and asked, “There’s a charity dinner this Sunday. Would you like to go with me?”
