CHAPTER 86: THE MISUNDERSTANDING

Ding Yixin smiled slowly and asked calmly,

"What thing?"

The two powerful men confronted each other, neither stepping back, but both keeping gentle smiles on their faces.

It’s feels like a quiet battlefield.

Rong Xingyu stood at the side completely confused.

What are they talking about? What’s happening?

From the way his Second Brother and Dr. Ding were acting, it really didn’t look like they wanted to "get to know each other."

Rong Zhenghao dropped his cold smile and didn’t bother pretending anymore. He gave his final warning: "Stay away from my Xiaoyu."

With a loud bang, the room door was closed.

...

Rong Xingyu sat on the sofa while watching Rong Zhenghao slowly remove his mask, hat, and scarf.

Only then did Rong Xingyu finally realize that his second brother really did not like Dr. Ding.

"Second Brother, you—"

Rong Zhenghao paused halfway through fixing his scarf. He looked at Rong Xingyu, hesitated as if choosing his words.

Then Rong Xingyu heard him speak in a serious tone: "Xiaoyu, our family may be open minded, but you’re still in school. You haven’t met many kinds of people. When you meet someone with bad intentions, it’s easy to be fooled by sweet words."

Rong Xingyu whose listened to his words felt confused. Bad intentions? Who was Second Brother talking about?

Could it be Dr. Ding?

Rong Zhenghao clearly was not used to saying these heart-to-heart kinds of things.

He frowned and clicked his tongue in irritation inside his mind.

He should let Big Brother handle this kind of talk in the future.

And honestly, he had not been very close to Xiaoyu before.

Even though things had gotten better these last few days, sitting here and talking like some warm and understanding older brother still felt a bit awkward for him.

But when he thought about how Rong Xingyu had been holding that man’s hand earlier, Rong Zhenghao feel strong sense of danger.

He feels like his soft and pure little cabbage was about to be taken advantage of, so he forced him to sit here and push through the discomfort, digging through his brain to find words that could warn him.

As a man, he could instantly see the other man’s twisted intentions, alright!

"You’re still young. You’ll meet more people in the future. How do you know that the one in front of you right now is the best one and the one most suitable for you?"

Rong Xingyu understood less and less.

He rubbed the tip of his nose and asked Rong Zhenghao, "Second Brother, what are you talking about? Suitable for me in what way?"

Rong Zhenghao suddenly ran out of things to make up. He gave up on the warm brother act and said, "I’m saying you shouldn’t start dating too early. No, actually, I’m not saying you can’t date early, you can date early but—"

Rong Xingyu’s face instantly showed shock expression.

He couldn’t help interrupting Rong Zhenghao who was still struggling with whether early dating was acceptable or not.

"Second Brother, you’re thinking too much. When did I start dating anyone?"

Rong Zhenghao: "..."

A perfect crack appeared in his expression.

"You’re not dating?"

"No."

And Rong Xingyu added without hesitation, "Second Brother, don’t worry, I won’t date early."

Rong Zhenghao: "...Good."

As long as he wasn’t dating, that was fine.

So that man wasn’t impressive after all.

Acting like some big bad wolf and it turned out he hadn’t even managed to get the little lamb into his mouth yet?

Rong Zhenghao suddenly felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

His whole expression softened.

He completely forgot that the "little lamb" was his own younger brother.

Rong Xingyu hesitated for a moment, but then told Rong Zhenghao about the dangerous incident that happened at noon.

He also mentioned that it was Ding Yixin who protected him or else he would have been splashed by that girl.

A flash of anger immediately appeared on Rong Zhenghao’s face and he said in a low voice, "It must have been a sasaeng fan. They must’ve seen the leak last night and waited outside all day today."

It was the first time Rong Xingyu had heard the term "sasaeng fan."

He didn’t know the exact meaning, but judging by the girl’s actions, it wasn’t hard to guess. It should an extreme and obsessive fans who interfered with someone’s private life.

He was about to ask about the situation with the secret photos when a ringtone sounded in the room, cutting off his thoughts.

Rong Zhenghao picked up the phone.

When he saw that it was his agent calling, he immediately turned on speaker mode.

"Xiaohao, the statement is written the way you wanted. And the lawyer’s letter is ready too. Are you sure you want to send them out together?"

Rong Zhenghao tapped his finger on the table and said simply, "Send them."

The voice on the phone suddenly paused for a moment. When it spoke again, it sounded like it was hesitating, "I think... maybe you should think about this again..."

Rong Zhenghao frowned, already looking unhappy.

The person on the other end kept talking: "You almost never talk about your family background. If you send out this statement now, the fans especially the haters will put all their attention on your family again. They’ll start saying the awards you got in the past were all decided through secret deals..."

While listening, Rong Xingyu couldn’t help looking at Rong Zhenghao.

So even someone who was born with such a powerful background would have this kind of trouble?

But Rong Zhenghao’s expression didn’t change at all when he heard that. He cut off his agent and said, "Old Lin, we’ve worked together for so many years. I thought I didn’t need to repeat this. I’ll say it one last time, when I first entered the industry, I told you my family is my last bottom line. Now my younger brother, an ordinary person, is suffering from public pressure he should never have had to face and there are even threats to his safety. Do you think I should still worry about people doubting my ability right now?"
