Rong Yi opened her eyes groggily as she lay in bed, her vision gradually clearing from a blur.
Staring at the familiar ceiling above, Rong Yi was momentarily stunned.
How did she get home yesterday?
Scenes of bustling traffic flashed through her mind one by one. Rong Yi only remembered having dinner, drinking red wine, and dancing with Gu Ye last night…
Recalling the intimate moments of dancing with Gu Ye, Rong Yi curved her lips into a smile and lowered her gaze.
Her memory stopped after getting into the car to return home, and she couldn’t recall anything after that.
In the living room.
After feeding Fa Cai, Guoguo glanced at the time and asked Su Ying, “Ying, it’s already noon. Why hasn’t she woken up yet?”
Su Ying stood by the counter in the semi-open kitchen, preparing a bag of nutty coffee-flavored meal replacement oatmeal.
Hearing the question, she replied, “Doesn’t she sleep until she wakes up naturally every day? Let her sleep.”
“Alright.” Seeing Su Ying’s response, Guoguo stopped worrying.
As Rong Yi walked out of the bedroom, she overheard their conversation.
In a plaintive tone, she said, “Ying, I don’t sleep until I wake up naturally every day~”
Without looking up, Su Ying responded, “Awake?”
Rong Yi stretched as she walked. “Mm.”
Fa Cai, spotting Rong Yi, trotted over on its short legs, and Guoguo couldn’t hold it back.
“Meow~ Meow~”
Looking at the little cutie by her feet, Rong Yi bent down and picked it up, doting on it. “Did you miss me, Fa Cai?”
“Meow~”
Rong Yi smiled and stroked its back, then walked over to sit at the counter.
Seeing this, Guoguo sat beside Rong Yi, forming a circle with Su Ying and enclosing Rong Yi in the middle.
Su Ying placed the prepared oatmeal in front of Rong Yi. “Drink some. It’s good for your stomach.”
“Thank you, Ying.”
“Your alcohol tolerance isn’t that bad, is it? You shouldn’t have passed out after just two glasses of red wine, right?”
As Su Ying brought up yesterday’s events, Rong Yi perked up and asked, “Ying, was it Gu Ye who brought me back yesterday?”
“Who else could it have been?”
Su Ying paused before adding, “To be honest, Gu Ye’s looks are unmatched by anyone in the entertainment industry.”
Guoguo nodded “frantically” in agreement beside her.
Rong Yi’s fox-like eyes lifted slightly, brimming with pride. “Of course!”
The man she had her eyes on couldn’t possibly be anything less!
Guoguo asked with a gossipy expression, “Are you really dating President Gu?”
Rong Yi smiled gently. “Although this is something your sister dreams of, I regret to tell you that it hasn’t happened yet.”
Su Ying took a sip of coffee, pursed her lips, and smiled. “I think it’s close.”
Rong Yi raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean, Ying?”
Su Ying recounted exactly what Gu Ye had said to them last night.
“Really?!”
Su Ying replied, “Why would I lie? Guoguo was there listening.”
Guoguo nodded in confirmation. “Mm! That’s exactly what President Gu said. I even helped you remove your makeup, sis.”
Upon hearing this, Rong Yi’s face lit up with a smile, like a woman soaking in a jar of honey.
“Tsk, Guoguo, when you fall in love in the future, don’t be like her.”
This was undoubtedly referring to Rong Yi.
Guoguo’s face flushed with shyness. “Ying~ What are you talking about?”
Guoguo was a very innocent girl who had never been in a relationship before. Hearing Su Ying say this, she naturally felt a bit shy.
Su Ying looked at Guoguo’s flushed face and couldn’t help but smile and shake her head.
Suddenly remembering something, Su Ying said to Rong Yi, “By the way, when I was checking my emails this morning.”
“I found that Aron, the vice president of Dais, sent me an email inviting you to shoot a lipstick advertisement for Dais.”
Rong Yi frowned, “Dais?”
“Yes, that’s Dais, the top-tier brand from F Country. It includes a series of international brands covering clothing, beauty, cosmetics, and more.”
Guoguo, listening nearby, chimed in, “This brand is really famous. I use their lipstick myself.”
Rong Yi knew Dais’s reputation—it had dominated the local market in F Country for many years.
“Then let’s take it, Ying. I haven’t shot an advertisement in a long time. This will be my first job since my foot injury.”
Su Ying nodded in agreement. Taking this advertisement would only bring benefits, and with Dais’s influence, it could further boost Rong Yi’s popularity.
“Alright, I’ll reply then.”
Rong Yi curled her lips into a smile, “To celebrate, how about we have hotpot tonight?”
Guoguo was delighted, clapping her hands in excitement, “Great! I’ll go buy the ingredients.”
Su Ying reached out and tapped the table, interrupting them calmly, “No.”
Guoguo’s disappointment was obvious, “Huh? Why not, Ying?”
Su Ying stood opposite them, crossing her arms, and said, “Eating hotpot will only add weight. To prepare for the advertisement shoot, we must control our diet from now on.”
“Ying~ Don’t be a spoilsport~” Rong Yi blinked her pitiful fox-like eyes, trying to melt Su Ying’s heart.
Su Ying remained unmoved, still firm, “No, I’ve already been lenient. Don’t even think about hotpot.”
Hearing this, Rong Yi didn’t dare to push further. She slumped over the table and obediently sipped her oatmeal.
Guoguo cautiously raised her hand and asked, “Can… can I eat it?”
Su Ying smiled slightly, “Of course you can, my dear Guoguo.”
Guoguo’s joy was written all over her face as she excitedly made a “yes” gesture in front of her.
Rong Yi, “”
Is it really okay for you two to be so happy?
“When you eat hotpot, can you make sure I don’t see it? Otherwise, I won’t be able to resist,” Rong Yi pleaded quietly.
“Sure,” Su Ying was happy to agree to her request.
Rong Yi just wanted to say, there’s no need for that.
She stretched out her slender, fair fingers and stroked Fa Cai’s head, “Fa Cai, do you know how pitiful your mom is, hmm?”
Fa Cai opened her round, big eyes, sitting in Rong Yi’s lap and licking her paws, “Meow?”
Rong Yi remembered the little clothes she had ordered online for Fa Cai earlier and asked Guoguo.
“Guoguo, have there been any packages for me these past two days?”
“Yes, a delivery person brought a big package yesterday afternoon. It hasn’t been opened yet.”
“Could you open it for me? It should be the clothes I bought for Fa Cai.”
Guoguo also loved dressing up pets and immediately went to open the package.
“So cute~”
Guoguo brought over a pink princess dress and wanted to put it on Fa Cai.
Rong Yi helped Guoguo take off the little blue vest Fa Cai was wearing and let Guoguo dress her in the princess dress.
Seeing Fa Cai look even more delicate and adorable than the model kitten online, Rong Yi nodded with satisfaction.
“So pretty, so cute!”
Guoguo, itching to take photos, picked up her phone and snapped away at Fa Cai, with almost every shot turning out great.
Rong Yi leaned over to look and found Fa Cai in the photos unbearably cute.
“Guoguo, send me a copy of the photo.”
“Okay.”
Rong Yi received the photo and immediately posted it to her own Weibo.
