So on the first day of the New Year, instead of going out and having fun, the two of them spent the whole day in the hospital studying management.
This was the first time that Rongshu had spent New Year’s like this, but it didn’t feel boring.
After all, the person she loved was close by, and as long as she was with the person she loved, how could she be bored?
The next day, however, Rong Shu left Fu Jingting alone at the hospital and went to the Lu family to pay her respects, carrying her own gifts.
When she left, the sultry look in Fu Jingting’s eyes made Rongshu feel funny to this day.
“Shu Shu, why did you come alone? Jingting didn’t come with you?” When Mrs. Lu heard the commotion as soon as Rongshu parked the car, she hurriedly came out from the villa to greet her, seeing that Rongshu was the only one who got out of the car and Fu Jingting was not there, she couldn’t help but ask a question.
Rongshu took out a gift from the trunk and explained for Fu Jingting with a smile, “He had an operation some time ago and is still in hospital, so I had to come by myself.”
“An operation?” Mrs Lu was shocked, “What kind of surgery? Is it serious?”
“It’s kind of a major operation, but it went well, and now I should be fine as long as I stay in the hospital for two or three months.” Rongshu returned simply, not intending to tell Madam Lu exactly what surgery Fu Jingting had had.
After all, this was Fu Jingting’s own secret.
Mrs. Lu also knew that Rong Shu deliberately did not want to say anything, so she did not ask too many questions, and was relieved to hear that Fu Jingting was not seriously injured.
“Hey, it’s quite a pity he didn’t come, I even asked the kitchen to make him his favourite dishes, the last time he came here, I saw that he liked it, so I specially asked the kitchen to prepare it, but it turned out that he didn’t come.” Mrs. Lu said with some regret as she helped Rongshu carry the things in her hands.
Rongshu smiled, “Also this is something that can’t be helped, but I’ll pack a copy for him to the hospital later, so that your thoughts won’t go to waste, auntie.”
“That’s fine, I’ll have the kitchen pack it up later.” Mrs. Lu said with a smile.
When the two of them entered the villa, Rongshu saw that there was no one else in the villa apart from them and wondered, “Auntie mother, where are uncle and Ah Qi?”
“Your uncle has gone out to play chess.” Mrs. Lu put her things away and said, “You know, that’s all he likes to do, he’s a chess player, and he loves to play chess, so he went out with the chess board to find someone to play chess with.
Rongshu covered her lips and smiled, “It’s Uncle’s style.”
“Yes, so if he wants to play chess let him go, I won’t stop him.” Mrs. Lu poured a gla*s of juice for Rongshu, then said, “Shushu, you sit down first, I’ll go upstairs and tell that lazy b*****d to get up, it’s almost noon.”
“Okay, auntie mother, you go ahead, don’t mind me.” Rongshu picked up the juice and took a sip.
Mrs. Lu went upstairs.
Rongshu had been sitting on the sofa for about ten minutes when she heard movement from upstairs.
When she looked up, she saw Lu Qi coming downstairs by Mrs. Lu’s ears.
On the way down, Mrs. Lu was still criticising Lu Qi, saying that he was lazy and was still staying in bed on New Year’s Eve or something.
The scene made Rong Shu laugh.
“Shushu, you’re here.” Rong Shu’s laughter was heard by Lu Qi, who immediately perked up and waved his hand at her in greeting.
Mrs. Lu was no longer able to hold her son’s ears, so she hurriedly let go and smiled at Rongshu, “Shushu, Ah Qi has come down, so you guys can chat for a while while auntie goes to the kitchen.”
“Yes, auntie.” Rongshu nodded her head.
Mrs. Lu glared at Lu Qi again before she headed for the kitchen.
Lu Qi rubbed his ears and came across to Rong Shu, “Really, I was dreaming, but I ended up being pulled up by my mother, Shushu you say my mother is really the same, I’m thirty years old and she still treats me like she did when I was a child.”
Rongshu propped up her chin and looked at him enviously, “How good is that, you still have your mother to love you at thirty.”
As for her, her real parents didn’t want her.
She had a mother and father after a long time, but her mother had left before she could remember.
She had never really felt what it meant to have a mother’s love, so a lot of the time, when she saw that everyone else had loving parents, she was really envious.
Now that she was pregnant and about to become a mother, she had made a vow long ago that she would love her baby well after it was born.
She hadn’t enjoyed what it meant to be a mother’s love, but she would definitely let her child enjoy it.
Lu Qi did not know what she was thinking, but hearing her words of envy, her heart became unpleasant.
“What is there to envy, my mother is also your mother, so Shushu, we both love you.” Lu Qi looked at Rong Shu and told her seriously to not think too much about it.
Rongshu mewled, “I know, that’s why I’ve never felt unhappy, even though I’ve never really felt a mother’s love, I know that my mother must love me very much, as well as my father, grandfather, and my aunts and uncles and you all, so I don’t feel that I’m much less than others either, on the contrary, I’ve always had enough inside me.”
“It’s right that you can think that way.” Lu Qi was relieved to see that she was in a stable mood, and then asked, “What? Are you alone, that guy Fu Jingting didn’t come?”
“He’s sick and in hospital.” Rongshu sighed.
Lu Qi could see that what she said was true and couldn’t help but be surprised, “Sick? What’s wrong with him?”
“Had an operation.” Rongshu sighed back.
“What operation.”
Rongshu lowered her eyes, her mood a little off.
When Lu Qi saw this, he couldn’t help but feel distressed, “Then in the future, will he affect your life as a couple?”
Rongshu’s face reddened and she said without good grace, “What are you talking about.”
“What’s wrong with me saying that?” Lu Qi blinked, not feeling that what he said was wrong, “Shu Shu you have to know that if a man is ruined, then even if you love each other again in the future, you won’t be able to go for long, I am also concerned about you.”
“I know, but ……” Rongshu stomped her foot, “Oops, I won’t tell you, he’s fine, he’s fine, he had the surgery for other reasons, and it’s not like this surgery has anything to do with that, don’t talk nonsense.”
“Fine, fine, I won’t say anything, as long as you don’t affect it in the future.” Lu Qi shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking at once.
Only then did Rongshu breathe a sigh of relief.
After that, the two of them chatted with each other, and the time soon came to have lunch.
Chairman Lu also returned with his own chess board in his arms, and when he came back, his whole face was dark, obviously he hadn’t won against anyone else this trip out to play chess, otherwise he wouldn’t have come back smiling and red-faced.
“Shushu is here.” However, after Chairman Lu saw Rong Shu, his pitch-black face immediately changed again, and he instantly became pleasant and cheerful.
This change of face was so fast that Rong Shu was dumbfounded.
Only Lu Qi and Mrs. Lu rolled their eyes in unison, obviously used to Chairman Lu’s face-changing skills.
“Yes, Uncle, I’m here to pay my respects.” Rongshu stood up and smiled back.
“Good, good, it’s good that you’re here, our family will be more lively when you come. Mr. Fu didn’t come?” Chairman Lu looked around and did not see Fu Jingting people and asked the same question.
Rongshu knew that she couldn’t escape the situation where all three people had to ask once, so she also patiently told Fu Jingting’s situation once more.
