Chapter 323: Deal With Things

Xi Cheng seemed to have received encouragement and praise. He increasingly wanted to make Ding Rong happy.

He glared at the butler and pretended to urge him, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and chase that ridiculous man out. This is a banquet organized by the Hill Family, not an occasion for him to harass female guests.”

Ding Rong knew Xi Cheng quite well and knew that he was deliberately making her happy. Hence, the smile on her face became more relaxed. Xi Cheng’s mood became much more carefree. Seeing that the butler was about to reach the door, he called out to him, “Hold on…”

The butler immediately stopped in his tracks. “Sir, what else do you need?”

Since he had gotten Ding Rong’s approval with how the wretched man’s punishment was decided, Xi Cheng naturally wanted to work harder and do things to a level where Ding Rong was satisfied with.

He coughed lightly and continued to say to the butler, “Who brought that young man in? Chase him away too. Oh right, remember to hand this person to his guardian and help me pass on a message. Just say, ‘It’s better not to let such an embarrassing thing out in the future.’”

The butler had been through countless important situations and did not feel that Xi Cheng’s evaluation of the mister who did not know what was good for him was overboard. He calmly bent over slightly and nodded in agreement.

However, Ding Rong did not have such a good psychological quality. Moreover, ever since they reunited, Xi Cheng had always appeared very pure and kind in front of Ding Rong, like an ordinary middle-aged man who yearned for a close family relationship.

Only then did Ding Rong realize that the cruel and cold-blooded side of this man had never disappeared. It was just that 20 years later, this trait had been hidden. This made Ding Rong feel that Xi Cheng seemed to have changed a lot, yet also as if nothing had changed at all.

Probably because Ding Rong had subconsciously cast her gaze on Xi Cheng when she was thinking, Xi Cheng could not help but mind it.

He placed his hand on Ding Rong’s thin shoulder and squeezed it gently. As he touched his beloved woman gently, he asked in a soft voice, “What were you thinking about just now?”

A gentle smile appeared on Ding Rong’s lips as she said softly, “I remember how you were when you were young. Back then, the urban village was in chaos. Gangs were active and rampant, and the residents of the urban village were all suffering. At that time, you were clearly an outsider, but you pretended to have a strong background and were unafraid of anything. I remember that you often stood up for those girls who were bullied too…”

Xi Cheng did not know why Ding Rong suddenly mentioned his younger days, but he felt a little nervous because Ding Rong mentioned that he often stood up for girls. He carefully observed Ding Rong’s expression and realized that she was just recalling the past and not trying to settle old scores with him. Only then was he relieved.

As long as Ding Rong was by his side, Xi Cheng felt that be it doing boring things with her or listening to Ding Rong reminisce about the past quietly, they would all make Xi Cheng feel extremely blissed.

Hence, Xi Cheng listened with a smile. His thoughts seemed to have returned to the narrow and crowded urban village from more than 20 years ago with Ding Rong’s descriptions…

“I remember that you seemed to have stood up for a lot of pretty girls from the neighborhood. Many girls have deep feelings for you. Even after we got married, those girls still didn’t give up. They kept wanting to quietly get close to you or would say nonsense to me, wanting me to back off.”

By now, Ding Rong was completely in Xi Cheng’s arms. Xi Cheng’s lips would occasionally plant a soft kiss on the side of Ding Rong’s fair face. He whispered into her ear, “Then did you ever give in back then?”

Ding Rong smiled and gave Xi Cheng a sideways glance. “Do you think I don’t know your personality? If I had taken a step back, you’d definitely have gotten upset and angry and couldn’t be coaxed no matter what. So why should I find trouble for myself?”

Although Ding Rong did not give a direct answer, her words were already her reply.

Xi Cheng smiled in satisfaction. “I knew it…”

Ding Rong turned her head slightly and their gazes met. Both of them could not help but laugh.

Xi Cheng was feeling restless and wanted to do something. His hand quietly rested on Ding Rong’s exceptionally slender waist that was maintained because she had to wear a gown.. He could not help but rub the exposed skin on her waist…
