The Domineering CEO Vs. The Arrogant CEO - Chapter 19
“Renji, you know Ruyi?” Miya was confused, looking back and forth and the two, she had an inkling they were more than simple acquaintances.
Ruyi couldn’t speak, and felt weak and dizzy she had to sit down while side-eyeing Sebastian.
“Daddy!!!” Yue’er was sulking seeing her father didn’t even notice their presence.
“Daddy! Look Mommy ate out with us!” The innocent Jue was glowing in happiness telling his father what they had been doing for the past week.
“Mommy…?” Renji sarcastically said while eyeing Ruyi. Both Ruyi and Sebastian mentally agreed never to talk to him or look at him and just eat peacefully.
Jue was confused why his mommy didn’t look at his father and decided to run to her. “Mommy?”
Ruyi was conflicted to ignore the child. She knows that Jue knows she isn’t their mother, after countlessly saying she wasn’t. And she remembered she agreed to let them call her ‘mommy’ in the first place.
“Baby…” Ruyi was showing such a pitiful face that Renji was struggling not to laugh. He already knew what she was thinking and just sat directly across her seat and fed his daughter. Ruyi decided to feed Jue rather than look and talk to him.
“Ms. Ruyi, thank you for accommodating and playing with my children for the past week. I didn’t know how to repay you, so let me pay for this meal.” Renji nonchalantly said.
“Hmm..” Ruyi hummed in agreement since she doesn’t want to talk to him anyway.
“How have you been anyway?’ Renji keeps talking to her and she just keep ignoring him and was just giving attention to his mother, children and her secretary. He was feeling annoyed from being ignored when Ruyi’s phone rang.
“Yes… okay… I’m coming now” Ruyi had a serious face while talking in her phone. Her uncle had call her.
“Umm, I need to go home Mrs. Kwon. There had been an emergency back home. Ruyi said her goodbyes to the clingy children and just gave her word to visit them when she’s free.
“It’s alright. See you dear~” Miya was worried about Ruyi’s brother that she met not too long ago, since she knew his condition.
Ruyi quickly went out after being able to get the children to behave. She and Sebastian immediately went back home.
“Hahahaha!” Miya was laughing so hard, while the children were pouting. “You’ve met your match son!”
“Not really, and let’s go home mother… I ignored father before and he must be itching to smack me when we get home.” Renji just disregard his stepmother’s teasing and called to pay the bill so they can go home.

Ruyi arrived home and asked her uncle what happened to her brother. He just summarized it that Shen had a moment of slight movement, so they had call the doctor and said that his vitals and reflexes are still normal and he is still in coma.
Ruyi collapsed from tension fading away from her body and just went to see her brother in his room.

Meanwhile in Pheonix Eden Residence, at the most expensive and highly guarded palace, a young man was looking at the picture of a woman.
“Hello, Darling Yiyi” the man forebodingly grinned then kissed the face of the woman in the picture.
Ruyi suddenly felt shivers and looked around to see the cause… She immediately remembered and shrugged the feeling of that man probably talking about her…
“That bastard must be thinking dirty about me..” She decided to forget it and continue working.
“I probably won’t meet him again anyway. Once is Luck, Twice is Coincidence, Thrice… God must hate me!”
