Upon hearing this, Ruby suddenly raised her head and was stunned. "Does your father know that we're dating?"
Her little gaze seemed to be saying, 'Have you made it public?'
Jasper met her gaze and suddenly smiled. He raised his hand and knocked her forehead. Ruby frowned and narrowed her beautiful eyes. However, in the next second, before Jasper could explain, she slapped her forehead and said with a smile, "Why am I stupid? How can he not know what William knows?"
It was said that women would only get married when they got stupid, and women in love would not be smart. Indeed, she was immersed in the gentleness and pampering of Jasper.
She suddenly thought of something. "On our birthday, was it his plan to take my parents out for the trip? He did it for us?"
Jasper did not answer. He just smiled. That was an admission. Seeing that she was still squinting, his lips curled into a beautiful smile. "You can regard it as the message that they want you to become their daughter-in-law as soon as possible."
"Then why didn't you tell me?" She thought that she needed to be acting in the Wilson's residence. She was afraid of giving herself away.
"What if you knew about it earlier? Do you plan to meet my parents as their future daughter-in-law?"
Ruby raised her chin arrogantly. "Dream on."
Jasper smiled. It was a very satisfied smile. He knew that she was willing, so he did not tell her everything that his parents already knew. He did not want her to feel pressured when she went to the Wilson family.
Ruby buried her head in Jasper's arms. She recalled how she had been trying to be an actress when she went to the Wilson's residence to play with Olivia. Now that she thought about it, she felt a little awkward. It turned out that they all had known about the so-called secret relationship a long time ago and had even cooperated with her show.
Her acting skills were superb. No matter what, she was a good actress.
In terms of scheming, her father would never be able to win against his father in his entire life. Trevon hid it too well. Every time she went to the Wilson's residence, he did not say a word that made her suspicious. He acted as usual and did not treat her specially.
Even Lena always did a good job.
When she didn't say anything, he said, "Don't feel pressured. It's still the same as before. It's not you who's under pressure. It's them."
A few hours later, the plane arrived in Azureland.
Jasper booked two rooms for the bodyguards. Two people in one room. The rooms were luxurious, making the bodyguards who followed them feel that they had been bribed.
After booking the rooms for the bodyguards, Jasper got another room. During this time, he did not ask Ruby if she wanted to get one or two rooms. When he only got one room, Ruby did not stop him. It was an invisible approval.
Ruby was very indulgent in his decision.
Their fingers were interlocked as they walked towards the rooms they had opened. Each of them had a suitcase. Their footsteps were light and they were in a good mood. In the elevator, the bodyguards lowered their heads. They looked at the side of the elevator and tried not to look at the two people in love.
There was only one bed in the room. Jasper put his suitcase away and took Ruby's suitcase to put it aside. The room was very clean. The French window provided good illumination and allowed them to see the scenery outside.
"Do you like it?"
"It's a good view here. Have you done a guide?"
"Yes." He put down his suitcase and hugged Ruby from behind, who was standing by the French window. He bent down and rested his chin on her shoulder. "You can call your father in about half an hour."
Ruby did not push him away. She enjoyed the sense of security she felt as he hugged her. She leaned her back against his firm chest. She had come to Artroyland to participate in the design competition to brand the new company, and she was the chief designer of OnLy.
She replied with a smile, "That's quite accurate."
Ruby was not lying to her father. She also had competitions in Haililand, but it was not tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow.
Moreover, she wanted to design women's clothing, not just men's clothing. Jasper founded such a large company, so it was impossible for them to only sell men's clothing. They wanted to diversify the products, no matter it was women's clothing, men's clothing, or children's clothing.
Then, they would set up chain stores and step by step spread the business all over the country.
In the future, she would hire many excellent designers. However, Ruby felt that since she wanted to be Jasper's partner, she should control the design industry well. At the very least, she had to understand all the relevant knowledge. Therefore, she privately learned how to design women's clothes. After that, she would also learn how to wear children's clothes.
The two of them hugged quietly in front of the window for half an hour. In the end, Jasper carried her to the sofa. Sitting on his lap, she called Hackett to tell him that she had landed.
Hackett instructed, "Alright, take care of yourself. If anything, just call Winnie to do it for you."
"Got it. Bye, Dad."
After hanging up the phone, Ruby nodded at Jasper's forehead and pretended to complain, "I found I've become a good liar now. I can lie so easily."
Sometimes, Ruby felt a little guilty about her father's concern. After all, her father loved her so much. However, she knew that her father did not hate Jasper. He just did not want her to fall in love and get married at a young age.
"When the company is stable, we'll make it public."
With just one look, Jasper understood the hesitation and guilt in her eyes. He knew what she was thinking. "Yes, we'll make it public before the new year. I'll apologize to your father."
Ruby was also afraid that he would feel psychologically burdened. She told a joke, "Then you have to think about what you're going to prepare to apologize. My father isn't so easy to fool."
"I'm going to buy a private plane for him. Yesterday, he probably felt angry when he failed to borrow a plane from my father."
"You do know how to take advantage of that."
Winnie had slept for a long time on the plane and was extremely awake now. She looked around her room. The phone on the bed kept ringing, making her excited heart instantly sink. All that was left was nervousness. She took a deep breath and picked up the phone. "Mr. Blackwell."
