MTLNOVEL Chapter 978: This is My Partner
Mrs. Du looked worried, "Marriage is a lifelong event."
It's a lifelong event, what if she marries the wrong person?
"And if the eldest hears about such a large betrothal gift, they'll definitely come and make a fuss." Mr. Du felt troubled by this.
"Xiao Fang said, we've raised Ruoruo for over twenty years, it was hard work."
This sounded fine, but Mr. Du thought carefully and felt something was off.
"Last year, when we went to the Capital City, Xiao Fang warmly entertained us."
"We've already become estranged from Ruoruo." There was no going back to the way things were.
Trying to make amends wasn't an easy thing to do.
"Where do you want to go? I'll take you there?" Du Ruo said to Fang Chaoyang as soon as she exited the family compound.
This was the place where she grew up; she was very familiar with the surrounding area.
"It's so hot, how about we go watch a movie? It's been a long time since I've watched a movie with you."
Indeed, it had been a long time.
One of them was busy with work at the factory.
The other was busy writing a thesis.
On weekends when they got together, it was either to look at home renovations or to select dishes and chopsticks.
Some big pieces of furniture were gradually moved in, but things like pots and dishes hadn't been acquired yet, and now they were being added one by one.
"Let's go, we'll take the bus."
It's so hot, she didn't want to walk there.
"Comrade Du, you're back?"
A sudden muffled voice interrupted them, causing both to look.
Who is this person?
Why is he greeting his partner so familiarly?
Why does he have a smile on his face?
This person had a bit of a belly and was quite ordinary-looking, even shorter than him, yet he looked at Ruoruo with a rather unfriendly gaze.
This person liked Ruoruo.
"Ruoruo, who is this, do you know him?" Fang Chaoyang cast a rather indifferent glance at the man before looking away.
Du Ruo glanced at the other person and then shook her head, "I don't know him, shall we go?"
Don't know?
How could she not know?
"My aunt lives in the same courtyard as you, don't you remember me? And who is this male comrade?"
Du Ruo was supposed to be his future wife, so why was there suddenly another male comrade?
And this male comrade looked quite like a leader.
Who is this person?
He hadn't heard that Du Ruo had a partner?
Since his aunt lived in the same community as them, how could she not know about this?
If Du Ruo had a partner, his aunt would have said something long ago.
Could it be a blind date?
He was the one who truly understood her.
Besides, he would definitely be good to Ruoruo.
"This is my partner." Du Ruo introduced him openly.
What?
Partner?
"Impossible."
Du Ruo frowned slightly, "This is my partner, we've been together for a long time, and who are you anyway? I don't even know you. Brother Fang, shall we go?"
What?
They're leaving.
No way.
The man wanted to grab Du Ruo.
Fang Chaoyang dodged him and even reached out to grab his wrist, "This is my partner, who are you?"
Even though Fang Chaoyang wasn't as strong as Zhao Tianlei and them, he did follow them in fights.
"Let go of me."
Fang Chaoyang flung him off, "This is my partner."
"Ruoruo, didn't you agree to be my girlfriend?"
Du Ruo furrowed her eyebrows, "Are you crazy? When did I agree?"
Her eyes were just fine; why would she be interested in him?
It was evident that the other person looked a bit older, and even so ugly, honestly.
"Comrade, this is my partner, and you'd better not make false claims, otherwise you'd be a hooligan. You should know what happens to hooligans these days, right?"
"She agreed to it herself, how can she back out?"
