Chapter 179
Hearing his questioning, Rong Shu’s face also sank as she looked at him coldly, “Mr. Fu, may I ask what this has to do with you, who are you to meddle in my affairs?”
“Yes Jing Ting, you do meddle a bit too much.” Cheng Huai also looked at Fu Jingting with a smirk.
Fu Jingting’s thin lips pursed a bit cold, “Cheng Huai, don’t you know she has a boyfriend?”
“I know.” Cheng Huai shrugged his shoulders.
Fu Jingting’s eyes narrowed, “Knowing that you are still with her ……”
“Who says me sitting with Rong Shu is a date?” Cheng Huai spread his hands, then coolly looked at Gu Manyin beside him, “Oh yes, it was you who said that.”
“I was the one who said it, but you yourself admitted it, Mr. Cheng.” Gu Manyin hugged Fu Jingting’s arm tightly.
Cheng Huai laughed coldly, “I did admit it, but there are many kinds of dates, who says that my date with Rong Shu is the same as yours, that we can’t come out and talk about things?”
Gu Manyin choked for a moment, “What about the flowers? What do you call flowers? What kind of talk about things and bring flowers.”
“What’s wrong with flowers? Are the flowers red roses? If Rong Shu and I were really out on a date, then why didn’t we bring red roses.” Cheng Huai asked her rhetorically.
Gu Manyin opened her mouth and couldn’t say anything.
Fu Jingting’s brow furrowed.
Did they really think too much, that Rongshu and Cheng Huai were not on a date?
Thinking about this, the depression in Fu Jingting’s heart was instantly alleviated.
“Alright Cheng Huai.” Rong Shu stood up and swept a cold glance at Fu Jingting and Gu Manyin, “There’s no need to say so much to them, they have nasty minds and see everything as dirty, there’s no point in talking to them.”
“Miss Rong, you’re saying we’re nasty-minded?” Gu Manyin’s eyes widened.
Rong Shu ignored her and looked at Cheng Huai, “What I just said to you ……”
“I know, I’ll look into it for you.” Cheng Huai nodded his head.
Rong Shu smiled, “Thank you, let me know in time if you have any results, let’s go.”
“Good.” Cheng Huai also stood up.
Rong Shu picked up the flowers on the table and left the cafe with him.
Gu Manyin looked at their backs, her teeth biting her lower lip, “Jingting, they ……”
“Alright.” Fu Jingting wrinkled his brow and interrupted her, “They’re right, what’s in your heart is what makes you look at everything wrong, Mangyin, don’t jump to random conclusions in the future.”
He was also at fault, he shouldn’t have been biased and thought that whatever Mangyin said was right.
“Jingting, you’re blaming me?” Gu Manyin looked at him incredulously.
Fu Jingting’s eyes flickered slightly, “No, I just think it’s not good to a*sume that it’s what you think before things are clear, and it’s not fair to others.
Gu Manyin lowered her head in aggravation, “I didn’t want to, but Cheng Huai himself said they were dating.”
“He tricked you.” Fu Jingting rubbed his brow and said.
Gu Manyin stomped her foot, “He’s gone too far.”
“Alright, let’s go, don’t you want to drink the coffee here.” Fu Jingting obviously didn’t want to say more and changed the subject.
Gu Manyin also saw it, her eyes sank, then she nodded, “Mm.”
Outside the cafe, Cheng Huai offered to take Rong Shu back, but she refused because she had come in her own car.
Cheng Huai had no choice but to give up.
As he watched Rong Shu drive away with the flowers he had given her, Cheng Huai whistled and was in a good mood.
It was true that he and Rong Shu were not on a date, but Rong Shu had accepted his flowers.
In the future, he would send one bouquet at a time, so that Rongshu could get used to it. I believe that in the long run, Rongshu would always be impressed by him, and the fake date would turn into a real one, right?
As for Lu Qi.
Cheng Huai laughed a little.
When he couldn’t tell, the way she looked at Lu Qi, apart from friendship, there was absolutely no hint of male and female affection.
So whether she and Lu Qi were really together or not was yet to be verified.
Cheng Huai leaned against the car door, his eyes looking at the cafe across the street, leisurely turning the car keys in his hand, as if he was waiting for someone.
After waiting for about half an hour, Fu Jingting and Gu Manyin came out.
Seeing Cheng Huai, Fu Jingting narrowed his eyes.
Gu Manyin stood beside him and also looked at Cheng Huai, “Mr. Cheng, why are you alone, where is Miss Rong?”
“She’s gone.” Cheng Huai locked eyes with Gu Manyin, his smile not reaching his eyes, “Miss Gu, Mr. Fu and I have something to say, can you please move away a little?”
“I’m Jing Ting’s fiancée, is there anything I can’t listen to?” Gu Manyin smiled back.
Cheng Huai said without mercy, “No.”
“You ……”
“Okay Mangyin, you go wait for me in the car first, I’ll come over later.” Fu Jingting made a gesture to Gu Manyin.
Gu Manyin was a little reluctant, after giving Cheng Huai an obscure look in her eyes, she still obeyed and went away.
Only Cheng Huai and Fu Jingting were left in the spot.
It was very rare to see two tall, handsome men with extraordinary auras appearing on the street at the same time, and pa*sers-by were throwing gazes of amazement from time to time.
But both of them were used to these stares, so they didn’t feel any discomfort or care, and just looked at each other.
“What do you want to talk to me about?” Fu Jingting was the first to speak.
Cheng Huai ruffled his funny hair, “I was trying to tell you that I’m in love with Rong Shu.”
Fu Jingting’s face instantly changed, “What did you say?”
“I said, I’m in love with Rongshu.” Cheng Huai repeated with a smirk.
Fu Jinglin grabbed him by the collar, “You’re in love with Rongshu?”
“Yes.” Cheng Huai looked at Fu Jingting, his eyes very serious.
Fu Jingting was in a trance for a moment, at first he thought he was joking, but now he understood that he was for real.
Cheng Huai was really in love with Rong Shu.
How could this be possible, and how could it be possible!
Fu Jingting’s heart burst into a fury, apart from anger, there was also a feeling of being betrayed, making his face very cold and ugly, “Do you know what you’re talking about?”
“Of course I know.” Cheng Huai pulled the collar out of Fu Jingting’s hand, stepped back and patted the scrunched collar, “I’m serious, I love Rongshu.”
“The Rongshu you love is my ex-wife.” Fu Jingting clenched his fists, his eyes full of morose coldness.
“I know that.” Cheng Huai didn’t think so, “You also said it was your ex-wife, since it’s your ex-wife, it has nothing to do with you, so it’s not any fault that I fell in love with her, why are you so angry?”
He looked at Fu Jingting with a smirk.
Fu Jingting froze for a moment.
Yes, Rong Shu had divorced him long ago and had nothing to do with him, then Cheng Huai was naturally not at fault for falling in love with her, and Cheng Huai had not betrayed him.
Then why was he so angry?
A trace of bewilderment surfaced on Fu Jingting’s face.
Reason told him that he shouldn’t be so angry, whoever Cheng Huai loved was Cheng Huai’s own freedom, but when he thought that the person Cheng Huai had fallen in love with was Rong Shu, he couldn’t help but feel angry and wanted to stop it.
As for the reason, he had a vague answer in his mind, but he inexplicably did not dare to poke at it, because a voice in his heart told him that once he did, the result would not necessarily be acceptable to him.
As he thought about it, Fu Jingting took a deep breath, suppressed the anger inside him and looked at Cheng Huai coldly, “Even if Rongshu has nothing to do with me, you can’t love her, don’t forget, she is Lu Qi’s girlfriend.”
Cheng Huai hooked his lips, “You still don’t know, right, Rongshu and Lu Qi aren’t together at all, it’s a fake between them.”
“What?” Fu Jingting was stunned, “Fake?”
“That’s right.” Cheng Huai nodded, “The way Rong Shu looked at Lu Qi, there was no hint of affection, so how could they have been together, it was just a show for the outside world.”
Hearing this analysis from him, Fu Jingting realised that it was highly likely to be true, and a great joy immediately surged within him, though his face remained expressionless.
Chapter 180
But soon, this joy within Fu Jingting was shattered by Cheng Huai’s words that followed.
Cheng Huai looped up his arms, “So I plan to pursue Rong Shu, Jing Ting, what do you think?”
Fu Jingting’s face was gloomy.
What did he think?
He didn’t feel good at all.
However, Fu Jingting would not say this, lowering his eyes and saying in a cold voice, “If you want to pursue, then pursue, why ask me?”
When Cheng Huai looked at him, he clearly wanted to stop but held back, a sharp aura flashed in his eyes, “Of course I want to say hello to you.”
“Say hello?” Fu Jingting’s thin lips pursed into a straight line.
Cheng Huai nodded, “Yeah, after all, Rongshu is your ex-wife anyway, so I definitely want to say hello to you, so you won’t be surprised when Rongshu and I get together in the future.”
Fu Jingting gave a cold chortle, “Are you so sure you can chase after Rongshu?”
“Effort does not pay off, as long as I put my heart and soul into it, I will always be able to impress her, and at that time, Jingting you will give me your blessing, right?” Cheng Huai looked at him.
Fu Jingting’s thin lips twitched, wanting to say of course.
But when the words came to his lips, he couldn’t say them.
Cheng Huai was not surprised.
He knew that Fu Jingting had Rong Shu in his heart, so it would be strange if he could say the words of blessing.
Cheng Huai put his hands in his trouser pockets, “Okay Jingting, I’ve said everything I need to say, and you don’t object to me pursuing Rongshu, so I hope you won’t come to stop me in the future.”
“No, that’s between you and Rongshu, it has nothing to do with me.” Fu Jingting said indifferently with a cold face.
Cheng Huai smiled, “Well, then Jingting, you better remember what you said today, if you come to stop it in the future, don’t blame me, Cheng Huai, for not treating you as a friend, okay, you go rendezvous with your fiancée, I should also go, go back to the emotionalist for advice on how to chase girls, bye bye.”
He waved his hand and opened the door to get into the car.
The reason he said this to Fu Jingting was that he wanted to take advantage of the fact that Fu Jingting had not yet discovered his feelings for Rong Shu to break off the possibility of a relationship between Fu Jingting and Rong Shu in one fell swoop.
In this way, even if Fu Jingting found out later that he loved Rong Shu, it would be too late, and Fu Jingting would watch Rong Shu be with him because of what he had said today.
As he thought about it, Cheng Huai gave a meaningful smile to Fu Jingting outside the car before driving away.
Fu Jingting stood in place, his eyes cold as he looked at the direction Cheng Huai left, his hands squeezed tightly at his sides, and the aura around him was appallingly cold.
Cheng Huai had actually fallen in love with Rong Shu, and had even threatened to pursue her. It was clear that two months ago, Cheng Huai did not have such feelings for Rong Shu, and did not even have much contact with her.
It was him!
Fu Jingting’s pupils twitched.
It was he who had taken the initiative to push Cheng Huai in front of Rongshu, deepening the bond between Cheng Huai and Rongshu, and only then had Cheng Huai fallen in love with Rongshu.
At this moment, Fu Jingting couldn’t tell what he felt in his heart, but it was a very bad feeling.
Gu Manyin came to his side and softly asked, “Jingting, what are you looking at?”
Fu Jingting lowered his eyes and said in a light voice, “Nothing.”
“Mr. Cheng has left?” Gu Manyin asked again.
Fu Jingting gave a hint.
Gu Manyin took his arm, “Jingting, what did Mr. Cheng say to you, you don’t seem to be in a good mood.”
“I’m not in a good mood?” Fu Jingting’s eyes flickered slightly as he looked at her.
Gu Manyin nodded, “Yes, very bad, as if something had been snatched away from you.”
Fu Jingting’s expression was slightly stunned.
What had been snatched away from him?
He and Cheng Huai were talking about Rong Shu, Cheng Huai was in love with Rong Shu, was it because of this that he was in a bad mood?
Because he felt that Cheng Huai had snatched Rongshu away?
“Jingting, what’s wrong with you?” Gu Manyin saw the unpredictable expression on his face and couldn’t help but reach out and wave his hand in front of him.
Fu Jingting returned to his senses and lowered his eyelids to hide the wind and clouds in his eyes, “Nothing’s wrong, Mangyin, you should go back first.”
“You’re not sending me back?” Gu Manyin’s eyes widened in dismay.
The light in Fu Jingting’s eyes flashed, “I have something to do, sorry.”
With those words, he got into his car and left, leaving Gu Manyin to watch him go, stamping her foot in anger.
Fu Jingting drove all the way to Repulse Bay.
He wanted to find Rong Shu, to find out why his emotions were affected by her every time he saw her, to find out why he was so angry when Cheng Huai and Lu Qi got up close and personal with her.
Even if that voice in his heart was stopping him and telling him not to go, he didn’t care anymore.
He had to find out, otherwise, she would keep affecting him.
Half an hour later, Repulse Bay arrived.
Fu Jingting looked downstairs for a moment, but still lifted his feet and walked in.
Soon, the lift arrived.
When Fu Jingting stepped out of the lift, he saw the door to Rong Shu’s flat, which was actually open, and a voice coming from inside, “Baby, can we go now?”
It was Lu Qi!
Lu Qi was at her house!
Fu Jingting’s face sank, and subconsciously stopped walking, not going forward, and the thought in his heart that he wanted to find out everything was instantly washed away.
“That’s fine, let’s go.” At that moment, Rong Shu’s voice also sounded.
Immediately afterwards, she came out of the flat.
Seemingly sensing something, Rong Shu raised her head, glanced forward, saw Fu Jingting, and frowned a little.
“Baby, why aren’t you leaving?” Lu Qi closed the door and came out, seeing Rong Shu standing still in front of her, and was a bit curious.
Rongshu opened her mouth and said, “Fu Jingting is here.”
“Where is it?” The moment Lu Qi heard this name, his expression was instantly bad.
He stepped forward and saw the person in front of him, and asked in a somewhat impulsive tone, “What are you doing here?”
Fu Jingting ignored him and stared at Rong Shu with a deep gaze, as if he wanted to see something in her.
Rong Shu was a little uncomfortable by his look and pursed her red lips, “Mr. Fu, what do you want?”
Fu Jingting’s eyes flickered.
He had come here to find out why he was affected by him every time, why he was uncomfortable every time he saw her getting close to another man.
But now that Lu Qi was beside her, he couldn’t ask.
Fu Jingting closed his eyes, and when he opened them, they were still clear, “I’ve come to apologise to you.”
“Huh?” Rongshu frowned, “Apologize?”
“Apologise for what, did you do something to my baby again?” Lu Qi glared at Fu Jingting.
Fu Jingting still ignored him and only looked at Rong Shu, “I’m really sorry for Mangyin’s misunderstanding of you and Cheng Huai in the cafe earlier.”
“There’s no need, your apology is too cheap and too much, it seems worthless at all, because I know that it won’t be the last time, I’m tired of hearing it, so your apology should be taken back.” Rongshu pulled up Lu Qi’s arm, “Ah Qi, let’s go.”
“Okay.” Lu Qi smiled happily and walked with her towards the lift.
When she pa*sed by Fu Jingting, Rong Shu looked at him sideways, “Also, please don’t come here in the future, Mr. Fu, because you will bring me trouble, understand?”
After saying that, she did not stop and continued walking forward with Lu Qi.
Fu Jingting could still hear Lu Qi asking her, “Baby, what did he mean when he said he misunderstood you and Cheng Huai at the cafe, why didn’t you call me when you and Cheng Huai went for coffee?”
“It’s not like he and I went to have coffee specifically, I had something to ask him.” Rongshu said back.
But soon, her and Lu Qi’s voices disappeared along with the closing lift doors, and silence returned to the corridor.
Fu Jingting just looked at the direction in which Rong Shu and Lu Qi had left, his heart suddenly empty.
