Chapter 139
Cheng Huai wasn’t angry either, he laughed heatedly twice, sipping his beer as he walked towards the sofa and turned on the TV to watch it.
Not long after, several people got up and came downstairs, except for Rong Shu.
Gu Manyin looked at them as they greeted each other, but ignored her and Jing Ting, and was uncomfortable in her heart.
Did she not see that they were deliberately sidelining her and Jingting?
“Mr. Lu, isn’t Mr. Rong up yet?” At this moment, Chen Xingnuo suddenly asked.
When Fu Jingting heard it, his eyes flickered slightly for a moment before quickly returning to normal.
“No, Baby was tired from cooking last night, let her sleep a little longer.” Lu Qi also opened a bottle of beer and replied.
Chen Xingnuo nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.
Soon, the cook came over and informed everyone that breakfast was ready.
The crowd then shifted their positions and left the living room to the dining room.
Rongshu hadn’t come down yet.
Lu Qi looked at his watch and stood up from his chair, “You guys eat first, I’ll go upstairs to wake up Baby.”
“Go on go on.” Cheng Huai waved his hand, gesturing for him to go quickly.
When Fu Jinglin saw this, he muttered with a dissatisfied face, “Why should he go and shout?”
When Cheng Huai heard him say this, he laughed, “He’s Rong Shu’s boyfriend, what do you mean by that?”
“Humph, what makes him worthy of being Sister Rongshu’s boyfriend?” Fu Jinglin said with a dark face.
Cheng Huai hooked the corners of his mouth, “If he doesn’t deserve it, do you deserve it? You don’t even look at how old you are, you’re not even hairy, and you’re already thinking about women.”
Fu Jinglin’s face turned red and he stood up in shame and anger, saying loudly, “Who wants a woman?”
“If you don’t want women, then why do you have to have an opinion about who Rongshu is with?” Cheng Huai propped up his head and looked at him with a smirk.
“I …… I just don’t think they’re suitable to be together.” Fu Jinglin’s eyes dodged back.
Fu Jingting at the next table fondled his coffee cup and lowered his eyes.
He thought the same thing.
Back when Lu Qi and Rong Shu were together, he had thought that they were not suitable for each other.
Gu Mangyin saw the man’s movements and guessed what he was thinking, then she bit her lip and a jealousy rose up in her heart, but smiled on the surface and said “Brother Jing Lin, you are wrong.
“But how come I heard that most childhood sweethearts and childhood friends are not suitable to be together because they know each other too well.” Fu Jinglin disliked back impatiently.
Gu Manyin frowned for a moment and quickly smiled again, “That’s true, but it’s not absolute.”
“Anyway, I just don’t think they’re suitable.” Fu Jinglin poked his fork at the sandwich on his plate and grunted, “Just like you and my big brother don’t fit.”
Gu Manyin’s face froze, obviously not expecting him to suddenly turn the tables on her, and she hated him in her heart.
On the other hand, Cheng Huai and Chen Xingnuo laughed outright.
It couldn’t be helped, who made Gu Manyin’s expression too funny.
They couldn’t help it.
“Jing Ting ……” Gu Manyin looked aggressively at the man beside her.
The man rubbed his brow and scolded Fu Jinglin unhappily, “All right, eat, whether Rongshu and Lu Qi are suitable or not, it’s their business, so you should stay out of it.”
Fu Jinglin skimmed his lips and went quiet.
On the third floor, Lu Qi got up and knocked on the door of Rongshu’s room, “Baby, are you up?”
In the room, Rong Shu’s eyebrows twitched and the next moment, she opened her eyes.
She looked at the clean white ceiling and felt the covers on her body, her mind a little confused.
She remembered that she hadn’t fallen asleep downstairs last night, but how did she wake up in her room?
So how the hell had she gotten back?
“Baby?” The knocking at the door continued.
Interrupted in her thoughts, Rongshu patted her cheeks and sat up, “Is something wrong?”
Hearing her response, Lu Qi removed his hand from the door and said aloud, “Breakfast is ready, I’ve come to call you down for breakfast.”
“I know, you can go down first, I’ll come back later.” Rongshu snorted and replied lazily.
Lu nodded, “Alright then, hurry up, breakfast will get cold later.”
“Mm.” Rongshu answered.
Lu Qi turned around and walked away.
Only when she heard the footsteps fade away did Rongshu lift the blanket and get out of bed, going to the floor-to-ceiling window and pulling the curtains open.
The dazzling white light shone in, and Rongshu could not help but raise her hand to shield her eyes and squint.
It was only after a while that she slowly reopened her eyes.
It was no longer raining outside, and the sun was still shining.
Rongshu opened the floor-to-ceiling window, smelled the air with the faint scent of gra*s after the rain, smiled in a soothing mood, then stretched out and went to the bathroom to wash up.
“Hmm?” While brushing her teeth, she suddenly saw a small red mark on her neck in the mirror, quite a dark colour, which was hard to ignore.
Rongshu couldn’t help but raise her hand to touch it, and after she didn’t feel the lump of a mosquito bite, her little face sank.
She was not an untouched girl either, the last time that zh had left many marks on her body and neck, exactly the same as the ones on her neck now.
So she was pretty sure that the marks on her neck were hickeys that had been sucked out of her.
Rongshu instantly thought of one person, Fu Jingting.
She had fallen asleep on the ground floor last night, when he had been around.
So she should have been sent back to her room by him, and then the marks on her neck were most likely done by him.
Thinking of this, Rong Shu’s red lips pursed up tightly, her heart extremely complicated, with anger and other emotions.
After a while, she patted her cheeks in annoyance, spat out the foam in her mouth, rinsed her mouth hurriedly, went back to her room to change her clothes and put on her make-up, using a thick foundation to cover the marks on her neck, making sure that she couldn’t find them without looking closely before opening the door and going downstairs.
“Baby, you’ve finally come down.” Lu Qi saw Rong Shu coming and hurriedly pulled out the chair beside him.
Cheng Huai, Fu Jinglin and Chen Xingnuo also nodded along.
Rong Shu smiled at them in embarra*sment, “Sorry for making you wait.”
“Alright, alright, sit down and eat.” Lu Qi patted the chair beside her.
Rongshu sat down with a mumble, picked up her knife and fork and began to eat.
During this time, she cast her eyes towards Fu Jingting several times, as if she wanted to see what was going on.
But Fu Jingting’s expression was as cold as ever, so she couldn’t tell anything either.
After the meal, Cheng Huai suddenly stood up and clapped his hands, “Everyone, how about we go hiking on a mountain later? I heard that there is a viewing platform on the mountain, and the view from there is especially good.”
“Jingting, let’s go.” Gu Manyin hugged the arm of the man beside her and looked at him expectantly.
Fu Jingting could not bear to see her disappointment and nodded his head in agreement.
“Good, there are two people signed up now, are there any more to go?” Cheng Huai looked at the few people in Rong Shu.
“Baby, are you going?” Lu Qi asked Rong Shu with a sideways glance.
Fu Jingting also glanced at Rong Shu.
“What about you?” Rong Shu asked instead of answering.
Lu Qi said smilingly “I’ll go if you go, but if you don’t I’ll stay here with you.”
“Then let’s go, we’re here anyway, it’s a pity not to go.” She thought about it and said.
For some reason, hearing that Rong Shu was also going, Fu Jingting felt some inexplicable pleasure in his heart, but his face did not show it.
Fu Jinglin also hurriedly raised his hand, “Since Sister Rongshu is going, then I’ll go too.”
Chen Xingnuo scratched her hair and said in a lazy tone, “If you all go, there is no point for me to stay here alone, so I will go too.”
Chapter 140
“Since everyone has agreed to go climbing, what are you still standing around for, why don’t you go back and change your clothes?” Cheng Huai looked at this group of people’s dress and rolled his eyes.
Lu Qi looked down at the silk floral shirt he was wearing and the corners of his mouth twitched, “This outfit of mine is indeed not very suitable for climbing.”
“Then go and change.” Rongshu waved her hand, gesturing for him to go quickly.
She wouldn’t need to change, when she came down, she was wearing her sportswear itself, which was just right for climbing.
“Jingting, then I’ll go back to my room to change too.” Gu Manyin looked at the skirt she was wearing and said to Fu Jingting.
Fu Jingting raised his chin slightly, “Go ahead.”
He didn’t need to change either, although he wasn’t wearing sportswear, it was fine to climb the mountain.
“Wait for me.” Gu Manyin left two words behind and turned around to go back upstairs.
The others also went to their rooms to change, and Cheng Huai went outside to prepare the car.
Only Rongshu and Fu Jingting were left in the restaurant.
This was perfect for Rong Shu, as she had something to ask him.
“Mr. Fu.” Rongshu suddenly spoke up.
Fu Jingting looked at her, “What is it?”
“Was it you who sent me back to my room last night?” Rongshu looked back at him, her eyes calm.
Fu Jingting nodded, “It was me.”
Rongshu’s eyes sank, “Why didn’t you call me up?”
“I did.” Fu Jingting’s thin lips parted lightly as he said, “But you were too deep in sleep, so I didn’t wake you up.”
The corners of Rongshu’s eyes twitched, “Is …… that right?”
“Mm.” Fu Jingting nodded his head.
Rongshu could see that he was serious and wasn’t lying, and her entire body became a little embarra*sed.
She couldn’t even wake up, how good of a sleeper was she?
“Cough!” Coughing awkwardly, Rongshu gathered the embarra*sment in her heart and said, “Thank you so much, Mr. Fu, but ……”
“What?” Fu Jingting took a sip of his coffee.
Rongshu lowered her eyes, then looked at him critically, “Has Mr. Fu ever done anything to me?”
“Done what?” Fu Jingting raised his eyebrows and locked eyes with her, “What are you referring to?”
“Like have you ever twisted me, like wringing my neck or something like that?” Rongshu asked as she took a breath.
She couldn’t ask him directly if he had kissed her, and she couldn’t ask, she could only say it as wringing.
And if she deliberately mentioned the neck, he would surely understand what she was really referring to.
Fu Jingting fondled his coffee cup again, and said indifferently, “No.”
“Really?” Rongshu frowned slightly, obviously not convinced.
Fu Jingting looked at her, “Why would I screw you?”
“……” Rong Shu had nothing to say.
Why?
How did she know why?
Just when Rong Shu was annoyed, Fu Jingting sipped his coffee and said, “Don’t worry, I didn’t do anything to you, I just put you in your room and left.”
His expression was cool and clear, without the slightest hint of weakness.
Rongshu looked at him steadily for a while, but did not see anything different about him, so she could not help but believe his words.
Perhaps the hickey on her neck really wasn’t his, and if not him, who else could it be?
Could it be that someone else had entered her room after he had left last night?
Thinking of this, Rong Shu clenched her palms, her bręąsts couldn’t help but rise and fall violently, being angry.
She really didn’t expect that she had been ……
“Baby, I’m done changing.” At this time, Lu Qi’s voice came, interrupting Rong Shu’s thoughts.
Rong Shu looked at Lu Qi who came over and asked in a deep voice “Did you go out in the middle of the night last night?”
“Go out?” Lu Qi blinked, “No, I slept until morning, why are you asking me this?”
Rongshu looked at him with a bewildered expression, sure he wasn’t lying, and waved her hand, “It’s nothing.”
It wasn’t Lu Qi either, there were only four men here, apart from Fu Jingting and Lu Qi, there were still Cheng Huai and Fu Jinglin left.
It is impossible for Fu Jinglin to be a teenager, so that only leaves Cheng Huai.
Just thinking about it, Cheng Huai appeared, turning the car keys in his hand, and walked in hanging on, “The car has been refilled, I also had the cook put a lot of food in the car, we’ll eat on the mountain at noon without coming down, you guys ……”
Before the words were finished, he felt a sharp, probing gaze fall on him, making it impossible for him to say the rest of his words.
“Rong Shu, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?” Cheng Huai touched his face in suspicion.
Rongshu narrowed her eyes, “Did you go out last night, in the middle of the night?”
“No, why would I go out?” Cheng Huai had a very strange expression on his face.
Rongshu also saw that he wasn’t lying, and her heart sank.
If it wasn’t Fu Jingting, if it wasn’t Lu Qi, if it wasn’t Cheng Huai, then who could it be?
Last night, they were the only ones in the villa and there were no outsiders, so could it be that she had really misunderstood, that the mark on her neck was not a hickey but a mosquito bite?
For a moment, the expression on Rong Shu’s face was a little dull, and then she left the restaurant in a trance.
Lu Qi and Cheng Huai looked at each other.
“What’s going on?” Cheng Huai asked.
Lu Qi shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know either.
Then the next second, he suddenly thought of something else, narrowed his eyes and looked at the man who was still sitting at the table drinking his coffee, and asked in a bad tone, “Did you bully my baby?”
Fu Jingting listened to his words ‘my baby’, only to feel a lot of sting, cold face stood up, ignored him, also walked out of the restaurant.
“What’s his attitude.” Lu Qi pointed at the direction Fu Jingting left, furious.
Cheng Huai shrugged his shoulders and didn’t say anything.
Soon, a group of people gathered outside the villa.
It was two kilometres from the entrance to the climb, and it was too slow to walk there, so they still had to drive.
The group of seven drove towards the foot of the mountain in two separate cars.
The five of them took one car, while Fu Jingting and Gu Manyin took the other.
No one wanted to sit with them, not even Fu Jinglin.
It could be imagined how unpopular Fu Jingting and Gu Manyin were now.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the seven of them got off the bus and started to climb the mountain.
Gu Manyin looked up at the top of the mountain and a touch of retreat appeared on her face, “It’s so high, Jingting, do we really have to climb up there without taking the cable car?”
Before Fu Jingting could answer, Lu Qi spoke up first, “What, you want to take the cable car up the mountain?”
“Can’t we?” Gu Manyin looked at him, her eyes innocent.
Lu Qi brushed his lips, “It’s not impossible, but we agreed before that we wouldn’t take the cable car up the mountain, we would only take it down the mountain, otherwise it wouldn’t be called climbing.”
“But it’s too high.” Gu Manyin bit her lip, her tone full of resistance.
“Then go back, don’t stay here and affect our climbing mood.” Lu Qi said impatiently.
“You ……” Gu Manyin’s face turned red with anger, and then she looked at Fu Jingting.
Fu Jingting asked, “Mangyin, do you want to go back? If you want to go back, I will send you back.”
“I ……”
“Oh, Miss Gu can’t be a bitter person, can she?” Before Gu Manyin could answer, Cheng Huai interrupted her.
A flash of bad premonition welled up in Gu Manyin’s heart.
Rongshu and Chen Xingnuo looked at each other and smiled.
They knew that Cheng Huai was up to something.
“Mr. Cheng, what do you mean?” Gu Manyin squeezed her palms tightly, barely maintaining a smile on her face as she looked at Cheng Huai.
The corners of Cheng Huai’s mouth curled into a playful smile, “It doesn’t mean anything, it means that Miss Gu is too pretentious.”
“Cheng Huai!” Fu Jingting pursed his lips and looked at him unhappily.
Cheng Huai spread his hands, “Jingting, I didn’t say anything wrong, if your fiancée didn’t like the mountain too high and didn’t want to climb it, she shouldn’t have come in the first place, she came and started backing out, what is it if she’s not being pretentious?”
Fu Jingting wrinkled his brows.
Although he did not like Cheng Huai’s attitude, there was no shortage of denying that what Cheng Huai said was the truth.
