Chapter 123
“……” Fu Jingting was silent.
He rubbed his temples with one hand, “Forget it, if you can’t find it, you can’t find it.”
He didn’t even know who he had let rob him, could he still force her to take the bag out?
“I’m sorry Jing Ting, I’ve caused trouble again.” Gu Manyin said as she bit her lower lip in self-reproach, her eyes red.
Seeing her like this, Fu Jingting tried to soften his voice, “It’s none of your business, don’t take it to heart.”
“Yes Mangyin, listen to Jingting.” Gu Yaotian advised.
Mrs Gu also nodded her head.
Gu Manyin broke into a smile when she saw that everyone was comforting herself, “I know.”
“Right Jingting, what method are you going to use, to solve Mangyin’s case?” Gu Yaotian looked at Fu Jingting and asked.
Fu Jingting lowered his eyes, “You guys will know tomorrow.”
Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Gu Yaotian was a little unhappy but did not ask.
The journey was quiet and half an hour later, the Gu family arrived.
The three Gu Yaotians got out of the car.
Fu Jingting rolled down the car window and looked at them, “Uncle and aunt, Mangyin is counting on you to take good care of her.”
“Don’t worry.” Mrs. Gu stroked Gu Manyin’s head and smiled back.
Although Gu Yaotian didn’t say anything, the meaning in his eyes was the same as Mrs. Gu’s.
Fu Jingting looked at Gu Manyin again, “Rest well at home, I’ll pick you up on the weekend.”
“Well, Jingting, you drive carefully on the road.” Gu Manyin nodded her head.
Fu Jingting gave a hint, turned the car around and drove off.
Soon, back at Fu’s Group.
a*sistant Zhang entered the office with a complicated look on his face as he held a copy of the information, “Mr. Fu.”
“What is it?” Fu Jingting asked without looking up as he stared at the computer screen.
a*sistant Zhang stood in front of his desk, took a deep breath and said, “I’ve already found out about Miss Rong’s health condition that you asked me to ask at the hospital.”
Fu Jingting stopped tapping on the keyboard and raised his head significantly to look at him, “What’s the result?”
“She …… she’s pregnant.” a*sistant Zhang returned with an odd expression.
Fu Jingting’s pupils suddenly shrank, the whole person was stunned, it took a few seconds to slow down, the unconcealed surprise in his voice, “What did you say, she’s pregnant?”
“That’s right, more than a month.” a*sistant Zhang nodded his head.
It had only been a month or so since Miss Rong and Mr. Fu had divorced.
From this, it could be seen that Miss Rong just happened to have divorced Mr. Fu and then had sex with Mr. Lu.
Fu Jingting lowered his eyelids, so that no one could see the emotions in his eyes, but his heart was set off by shocking waves.
More than a month ……
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing.
The heart beat faster, and Fu Jingting’s hand on the mouse couldn’t help but tighten up, showing that he was in a very unsettled mood at the moment.
a*sistant Zhang saw it and did not feel strange.
He knew very well that Mr. Fu also had Miss Rong in his heart.
So now that he learned that Miss Rong was pregnant, he definitely couldn’t be calm.
Just as he was thinking, a*sistant Zhang saw Fu Jingting suddenly stand up, “Is there any way to possibly know in advance who the child in Rongshu’s belly is?”
“There is, amniocentesis, but there is a great risk of causing the pregnant woman to miscarry, Mr. Fu, why are you asking this?” a*sistant Zhang was curious.
Fu Jingting didn’t answer, his brow furrowed tightly.
Looking at his expression, a*sistant Zhang suddenly had a bold guess in his heart and his eyes widened, “Mr. Fu, you don’t suspect that the child in Miss Rong’s stomach is yours, do you?”
Fu Jingting glanced at him and faintly nodded his head in acknowledgement.
The corners of a*sistant Zhang’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch twice.
The day before the divorce, these two were still having sex.
He was also really impressed.
“Other than amniocentesis, is there any other way?” Fu Jingting looked at a*sistant Zhang and asked again.
Since amniocentesis was dangerous.
He definitely would not let Rong Shu do it.
a*sistant Zhang shook his head, “No, we can only find out after the baby is born.”
Fu Jingting’s thin lips pursed into a straight line, caught in some dissatisfaction with this result.
a*sistant Zhang cautiously surveyed him, “Mr. Fu, don’t be anxious, what if that child is not yours, but Mr. Lu’s?”
Hearing this, Fu Jingting’s face instantly darkened, and a low air pressure permeated his body.
Although he knew that the child in Rong Shu’s belly was not necessarily his.
But the thought that it could be someone else’s made him inexplicably irritable.
Fu Jingting tugged at his tie and said in a low voice, “Send someone to keep an eye on Rong Shu and try to find out from her whose baby it is.”
“Understood.” a*sistant Zhang nodded in response, then turned around and went out.
Only Fu Jingting was left alone in the office.
He propped his forehead on one hand, his eyes slightly knocked, his mind was all about Rong Shu’s pregnancy, and he could no longer concentrate on his work.
It was not until the end of the day that he stood up, grabbed his jacket from the back of his chair and walked out of the office.
Fu Jingting did not go back to the Fu Mansion, but drove his car to Repulse Bay.
In fact, he didn’t even know why he had come here himself, and by the time he reacted, he was already here.
The car stopped at the bottom of Rong Shu’s apartment building, but Fu Jingting did not get out.
He rolled down the car window and lit a cigarette to smoke.
The smoke rose up and enveloped his face, somewhat unreadable, giving it a mysterious feel.
Rumble!
There was a sudden burst of lightning and thunder in the sky, and a gale of wind.
Immediately afterwards, bean-sized raindrops snapped down, quickly wetting the road and some even drifted directly into the car window, dampening Fu Jingting’s shoulders.
He wrinkled his eyebrows, dropped the cigarette in his hand before closing the car window, then opened the car door and walked towards the apartment building.
Rongshu had just finished taking a shower and was sitting on the sofa with the heating blowing, comfortably reading a book on energy.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
“Hmm?” Rongshu turned her head in confusion and looked towards the entrance door.
It was so late, who was it?
Closing the book in her hand, Rongshu got up and went over, opening the door once it was open and raising her eyebrows in surprise, “It’s you?”
Outside the door stood Fu Jingting.
He had gotten some rain, his hair was wet in strands, and his shoulders were also wet.
Perhaps it was because he was too cold, his face was also a little pale.
This was the first time that Rongshu had seen him in such a sorry state, and for a moment, she felt a little surprised.
“It’s me.” Fu Jingting raised his hand and patted the water droplets on his shoulder, and said back somewhat hoarsely.
Rongshu heard that he sounded different from his usual voice, and her eyes flickered for a moment before quickly returning to normal, “Is there something wrong? If it’s still to convince me to let Gu Manyin go, then there’s no need.”
“I’m looking for you, not for this.” Fu Jingting pursed into said.
Rongshu gave a suspicious oh, “Then what is it for?”
Fu Jingting didn’t say anything, his gaze shifted down and landed on the small of her back.
It was flat and tight there, and it was hard to imagine that a little life was actually being birthed inside.
A life that, potentially, he had personally planted.
Thinking about it to, Fu Jingting’s heart inexplicably felt some joy, and the look in Rong Shu’s eyes became deeper and deeper.
Rong Shu didn’t know what he was thinking, but she could also feel his gaze was strange and couldn’t help but take a step back, “What are you looking at?”
Fu Jingting’s thin lips moved, as if he was about to say something, when he suddenly became dizzy before his eyes and his body swayed with him.
Finally, he held onto the door frame before he could stabilise his body.
At this time, Rongshu also noticed that something was wrong with him, his face, which was still pale just now, had actually turned red, and even his pupils were somewhat unfocused.
“Hey, are you alright?” Rong Shu reached out her hand and waved it in front of Fu Jingting’s eyes.
Fu Jingting lowered his head slightly and did not answer.
Hearing that his breathing was a little rapid, Rongshu realised that he was most likely sick and placed her hand on his forehead.
Fu Jingting’s body stiffened for a moment and he raised his eyes to look at her, “You ……”
“You have a fever!” Rongshu interrupted him in surprise.
Chapter 124
Fu Jingting blinked and gave a muffled sound.
When he had just exited the lift, he had realised that his head was a little dizzy and he might have a fever.
But he suddenly wanted to see her, so he ignored it.
Rongshu put her hand down and stretched it out in front of Fu Jingting.
Fu Jingting looked at her, “What?”
“The phone.” Rongshu frowned and said with some impatience, “Take it out, I’ll call the Fu family for you and ask them to send someone to pick you up.”
“No need.” Fu Jingting pursed his lips and refused.
Rongshu smiled, “What, you still want to drive back by yourself?”
Fu Jingting’s thin lips twitched and he didn’t say anything.
Rongshu had a bit of a headache, “You don’t let people come and pick you up, and you can’t drive yourself, what the hell do you want to do hey hey hey ……”
Before she could finish her words, she saw the man’s hands suddenly let go of the door frame and his tall body fell towards her.
Fu Jingting’s entire body fell on top of Rong Shu, almost not flashing her back.
“Hey, don’t you have any shame, you actually fell on top of me, get up quickly.” Rongshu pushed the man on top of her with no good grace.
But the man did not respond.
Rongshu inclined her head to take a look, only to find that the man’s eyes were closed and he had obviously pa*sed out.
“No way, so fragile?” The corner of Rongshu’s mouth twitched.
It was hard to imagine that a man so tall could actually pa*s out from a fever.
Rongshu sighed and resisted the urge to throw the man out the door and ignore him, helping him back inside.
When she reached the living room, she threw the man onto the sofa with great force.
The moment the man’s back hit the sofa, he suddenly gave a muffled grunt and his brow furrowed, but still didn’t wake up.
“Hmm?” Rongshu froze for a moment.
What, she had still thrown him into pain?
Without giving it much thought, Rong Shu bent down to look for her phone in Fu Jingting’s pocket, wanting to contact a*sistant Zhang to come and take him away.
However, Fu Jingting’s phone was not set with a fingerprint, but with a pa*sword to unlock it.
Rongshu didn’t know what his pa*sword was, so she tried a few random ones, including his birthday and Gu Manyin’s, but none of them were correct.
In the end, Rongshu gave up, picked up her own phone and called the property to arrange for a doctor to come up.
No matter what, Fu Jingting had collapsed here, so if she didn’t get a doctor to take a look at him, the responsibility would be hers in case he burned to a crisp.
After making the call, Rong Shu put the phone down and stared at Fu Jingting’s wet hair and shoulders for a while, thinking that if he continued to wear wet clothes, he might burn even more, so she sighed and then undressed him.
Sometimes, she really hated herself for being so soft-hearted.
But it couldn’t be helped, seeing it made it impossible to really ignore it.
“Huh?” Just after she had unbuttoned Fu Jingting’s shirt, Rong Shu’s eyes casually lifted and she saw a bit of purple red faintly showing on his right shoulder.
Rong Shu’s eyes narrowed as she guessed what was going on and vigorously rolled over Fu Jingting’s body, then, her entire body was stunned, covering her lips and sucking in a breath of cold air backwards.
My God, his entire back was almost purple and red, looking shocking and ghastly.
That purple-redness was caused by an extremely severe impact on his back, causing the capillaries under the skin to rupture.
No wonder when she had just left him on the sofa, he had suddenly grunted in pain. I was afraid that his fever was also caused by this injury, and then he had collapsed after being drenched by the rain.
With a trembling hand, Rongshu touched Fu Jingting’s back.
She knew how he got the injury on his back, it was caused by his attempt to save her during the day, not the time in front of the hotel lift, but the next time Gu Manyin pushed her down the stairs.
So, he had been injured then, but he didn’t answer when she asked?
Rongshu bit her lip, unable to tell what she felt in her heart, angry and helpless, a mixed bag of emotions.
At that moment, the doorbell rang again.
Guessing that it should be the doctor arriving, Rongshu raised her head slightly, took a deep breath and then went to open the door.
“Doctor, please take a look at him.” After bringing the doctor in, Rong Shu pointed at the man on the sofa and said to the doctor.
When the doctor saw the injury on Fu Jingting’s back, he was also taken aback and hurriedly opened the medical kit and took out the tools to examine Fu Jingting’s injury.
After some busy work, Fu Jingting’s back was treated with medicine and a fever-reducing injection was given.
But Rongshu was still a little uneasy and clasped her hands together, asking nervously, “Doctor, is he all right?”
“Nothing serious, the fever will go down tonight, and the injury on his back is not a big problem, just rub a few days of medicine to soothe the tendons and activate the blood, and wait, wait for the bruises to melt away.” The doctor closed the medicine box and said back.
Rongshu breathed a sigh of relief and squeezed out a smile on her face, “Got it, thank you doctor.”
“You’re welcome, I’ll leave the medicine here.”
“Okay.” Rongshu nodded, then sent the doctor out the door.
When she came back, she looked at the man lying on the sofa and couldn’t help but mutter, “Your saving grace during the day, I’m paying you back now, wait until tomorrow, we’re still on opposite sides of the fence.”
After saying that, she went back to her room and took the bed quilt out to cover him up, then went back to rest.
As soon as she closed her eyes, all she could think about was Fu Jingting’s purple-red back, and she couldn’t get it out of her head.
It was only in the second half of the night that she barely managed to get any sleep and fell asleep.
The next morning, Fu Jingting was woken up by a phone call.
“Mr. Fu, where are you?” a*sistant Zhang asked over the phone.
Fu Jingting rubbed his temples and opened his eyes, only then did he realise that he was lying on the sofa with no clothes on top of him, and he couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.
“Mr. Fu? Mr. Fu?” a*sistant Zhang shouted twice more.
Fu Jingting’s eyes flickered slightly as he came back to his senses, “I’m in.”
a*sistant Zhang sighed in relief, “Mr. Fu, just now Mr. Gu called and asked when you would solve Miss Gu’s case?”
Fu Jingting sat up and the quilt on his body slipped to the floor.
He reached out to pick it up and smelled a fresh fragrance, coming from the quilt, the same fragrance as Rong Shu’s body.
So this was the quilt that Rong Shu had covered?
Fu Jingting’s eyes darkened slightly as he turned his head towards Rong Shu’s closed door and glanced at it before saying, “I’ll go straight to the police station later, so bring a set of clothes to Repulse Bay.”
“Ahem.” The a*sistant suddenly coughed up, his voice rising, “Mr. Fu, you’re at Miss Rong’s? You and Miss Rong wouldn’t have …… had a meeting last night.”
“No, I had a fever and was saved by her.” Fu Jingting looked at the fever-reducing medicine and blood-stasis invigorating medicine on the coffee table, and his eyebrows softened a few points.
The clothes he was wearing were gone, I think she had taken them off when she put the medicine on his back.
“It’s …… well.” a*sistant Zhang smiled dryly on his lips, seemingly believing Fu Jingting’s words, but not in his heart.
Why would Mr. Fu’s fever burn to Miss Rong’s house?
It was outrageous!
“Right, when you come over, remember to bring breakfast.” Fu Jingting instructed again.
a*sistant Zhang nodded, “Understood.”
The call ended, Fu Jingting put down his phone and went to the washroom.
In the washroom, he saw the intimate clothing that Rong Shu had hung inside and raised the end of his eyebrows slightly.
Obviously, he hadn’t expected to see something so intimate.
The knot in Fu Jingting’s throat twitched slightly as he moved his gaze away, no longer looking at those clothes, and walked to the washstand to wash his face.
During that time, he suddenly realised that whether it was in the living room or here, he had only seen Rong Shu’s things alone, and not the man’s.
In other words, Lu Qi had not lived here, otherwise there could not have been nothing.
Realising this, Fu Jingting’s thin lips curled up slightly, his mood somewhat pleasant.
