Chapter 197
Anyway, it wasn’t the first time she and Fu Jingting had kissed by mistake like this.
There was another time in the kitchen of Mr Chen’s horse farm villa.
So, there was no need for her to care so much, just think of it as being nibbled by a dog.
Thinking like this, Rongshu took a deep breath and twisted her head to look at the dog man beside her.
The man was already waiting for her with his poker cards posted.
She shook her palm and told herself several times in her mind to head not to miss before she reached over and pressed her lips against the face of the card.
Fu Jingting felt the warmth coming from the other side of the cardboard, and his eyes darkened.
But before he could feel it for two more seconds, the temperature disappeared along with the playing cards.
Fu Jingting’s eyelids dropped, and a feeling of disappointment rose in his heart.
Soon, the time was up.
The manager announced the top three families, number one, number three and number five.
Rongshu and the others were number five.
Doudou clapped her hands in delight, “Mum, we’re in the next round.”
“Yeah.” Rong Shu nodded her head, disbelief written all over her face.
She thought that after they had missed once and delayed some time, they would definitely be out of the competition.
Unexpectedly, they had actually advanced.
Looking at Rong Shu’s dumbfounded look, Fu Jingting felt a little cute, and couldn’t help but flash a smile in his eyes, “Apart from number one and three, family number two and four also blundered, and they blundered more than us, so we’re third place.”
“How do you know?” Rongshu looked at him in confusion.
Fu Jingting lowered his eyes to meet hers, “During the game, I did follow the progress of the other families, so I knew.”
So that was it.
Rong Shu couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up, “Admirable.”
In such a short amount of time during the game, he could actually spare his mind to pay attention to the other opponents, this alone was far beyond her.
No wonder he was able to develop Fu’s Group into the leading company in Hai City.
“It’s nothing, it’s a habit of mine.” The corners of Fu Jingting’s mouth hooked up as he listened to Rong Shu’s admiration.
Rong Shu looked at his smile and thought he was being smug, skimming her mouth and turning her head to the other side.
Fu Jingting raised his eyebrows.
What was wrong with her?
Had he said something wrong?
Fu Jingting wrinkled his brow and thought about it, but he could not figure out what he had done to offend Rong Shu.
He was about to ask for clarification when the manager’s voice rang out again, “Congratulations to the top three families who have entered the second round of the competition, the second round is push-ups, please ask the three families to come to the open space over here.”
“Mum, let’s go.” Doudou dropped the poker in her hand, jumped off the sofa, pulled Rong Shu and ran towards the open space.
As for Fu Jingting.
He didn’t care about this bad uncle.
The bad uncle would have gone over himself anyway.
Rongshu didn’t call Fu Jingting either, her heart was on Doudou, telling him to run slowly.
As he watched the little one and the big one walk away from him without calling him, Fu Jingting’s handsome face sank.
This little brat must have done it on purpose.
He was still holding a grudge against him for just rubbing his face.
Fu Jingting snorted coldly and stood up with his hands in his pockets, ready to go over.
Suddenly, he saw something and stopped in his tracks.
He saw a small poker card sitting on the spot where Doudou had just sat.
It was the same one that they had just played the game with.
Fu Jingting narrowed his eyes, pulled his hand out of his trouser pocket, reached over and picked up the card.
On the card, Rong Shu’s lipstick mark was still on it, very clear.
Fu Jingting didn’t know what he was thinking, but he actually put the card in his suit pocket.
Just as he put them in, he heard Doudou shouting, “Daddy, come quickly, the game is starting.”
Fu Jingting turned around and gave a hum of satisfaction in his heart.
So what if the little devil held a grudge.
When it mattered, it was still calling him daddy and begging him to come over.
“Coming.” Fu Jingting was in a renewed good mood and walked over slowly and methodically with his long legs.
This round of the game was called push-ups, which involved daddy doing push-ups, doing twenty of them, with mummy sitting on daddy’s back, adding weight to him.
The baby, meanwhile, was on hand to count for Daddy.
Before the game was even official, however, the restaurant’s audience of guests, had already guessed the final outcome as to which two families would advance and which would be eliminated.
Because family number three had a very fat mum and a very skinny dad, there was no way they could have lifted their mum to do twenty push-ups.
So what was the outcome, one can only imagine.
“Why is this game so tricky?” Rongshu said, wrinkling her eyebrows.
She thought that the push-ups were done by all three members of the family.
But she hadn’t thought that it was actually dad who did it alone.
In the last round of the game, she and Fu Jingting had experienced a dogfight, and in this round, she was actually asked to sit on Fu Jingting’s back.
It would be strange for Fu Jingting to agree.
As she was thinking, Fu Jingting suddenly spoke, “It’s a bit tricky, but it’s still within an acceptable range, well, come up.”
After he finished, he leaned down and took a good push-up position.
Rongshu thought she had heard wrong and looked at him incredulously, “What did you say? Let me come up?”
“Mm.” Fu Jingting responded.
Rongshu opened her mouth.
She had actually guessed wrong.
He had really agreed!
Seeing that Rong Shu was standing still and dazed, Fu Jingting spoke again, “Hurry up, they’re already ready, you’re the only one missing.”
Rongshu looked around and saw that the mothers of the families to her left and right were indeed already sitting on their father’s back, so she no longer hesitated and after taking a step forward, she also sat on Fu Jingting’s back.
This is the first time she has used a man as high and mighty as Fu Jingting as a horse.
It felt …… pretty cool!
A hint of excitement flashed in Rongshu’s eyes, but her face pretended that nothing had happened, looking at the man beneath her and asking, “Is it heavy, if you feel ……”
“Not heavy.” Before she could finish her sentence, Fu Jingting snatched the answer.
Seemingly feeling that it wasn’t enough, he added, “It’s very light.”
He wasn’t just saying that.
She was really light, lighter than even Mangyin.
But she was half a head taller than Mangyin, so it was clear that she was clearly underweight, and the key was that she was pregnant.
“You should eat a bit more and gain some weight.” Fu Jingting twisted his head to look at Rong Shu, his tone quite serious.
Rong Shu heard it and her expression was a little cold, “This is my business, so I don’t need to be concerned about it, Mr. Fu should still care about Miss Gu, I don’t need to, just play seriously.”
Quite funny, he never cared about her before.
Now instead, he came to care, she would only feel fake.
Seeing that Rong Shu was unwilling to accept it, Fu Jingting frowned, but didn’t say anything more and turned his head back.
The match officially began.
After Fu Jingting made Rong Shu sit still, he started to do push-ups.
Doudou was right beside her, counting.
Although Fu Jingting was busy with his business, he would spare some time every week to go to the gym and swim. Naturally, it went without saying that his physical fitness was much better than the fathers of family number one and three.
The fathers of No.1 and No.3 families are typical men who don’t exercise all the time, especially No.1’s father, whose beer belly looks like he has been pregnant with a child for several months.
Although father number three was better, he still had a wife of nearly two hundred pounds on his back.
Looking at his red face and trembling arms, Rongshu was afraid that his arms would break.
So compared to these two fathers, Fu Jingting’s push-ups were done like a fish in water, and the movements were standard and graceful, which was pleasing to the eye.
The female customers in the restaurant were all eager to keep their eyes on him.
Fu Jingting did not care about these stares, his attention was always on Rong Shu.
After glancing at the woman on his back, he actually kept staring at the other two family dads, his handsome face instantly sank, “Be serious.”
“Huh?” Rong Shu froze for a moment.
Not understanding that she was the one doing the push-ups.
All she had to do was sit obediently on his back, so why did she have to be serious too?
Chapter 198
Ignoring Fu Jingting, Rongshu’s gaze remained fixed on Papa No. 3, wondering how long Papa No. 3 would hold out.
Seeing this, Fu Jingting’s face turned even uglier, and the cold air around her body radiated out.
Which part of that No. 3 dad’s looks, body and temperament was better than his, and she had to stare at that No. 3 dad one after another?
Even though he knew she wasn’t interested in that number three dad, he just felt annoyed.
“Get down!” When he heard Doudou count to twenty, Fu Jingting stopped still and said in a cold voice to the woman on his back.
Not knowing what was wrong with him again, Rongshu stood up with her foot on the ground.
Fu Jingting followed suit and got up.
He had done twenty push-ups in a row, but his handsome face was not the least bit tired, not even sweating.
It was evident that twenty push-ups did not affect him in the slightest.
Dads number one and number three were envious.
They had already finished resting, while they, on the other hand, had to continue miserably.
Rongshu couldn’t help but let out a laugh as she looked at the sad faces of Dad No. 1 and Dad No. 3.
Suddenly, the water bottle in her hand was jerked away.
Rongshu turned her head to look and saw Fu Jingting tilting his head back to drink the water, his mouth hanging open.
Seemingly sensing her gaze, Fu Jingting put down the water bottle, “What’s wrong?”
Rongshu looked at the water bottle, “That’s my water.”
“You haven’t drunk it.” Fu Jingting screwed the cap on the bottle and said indifferently.
Rongshu laughed, “Even if I haven’t drunk it, you don’t have to grab mine, there’s so much water over there, won’t you get it yourself?”
“I’m tired, I don’t want to move.” Fu Jingting finished and put the water bottle to the side.
“…… “The corner of Rong Shu’s mouth twitched, speechless.
Tired?
I’m sorry, she didn’t see any semblance of tiredness on his face.
But never mind, it was just a bottle of water.
Rongshu grunted, turned around, and went over there to get some more water.
A smile flashed in Fu Jingting’s eyes as he watched her defeated, and his mood changed for the better.
He was doing it on purpose.
Seeing her still staring at other men.
“Uncle Fu.” At this moment, Doudou’s childish voice came from below.
Fu Jingting looked down, only to see Doudou tilting her head and looking at him with an ‘I found out’ expression.
“What is it?” Fu Jingting asked.
Doudou crossed his arms, “Are you trying to steal my aunt from my uncle?”
Stealing aunt?
Fu Jingting raised his eyebrows, “No, why are you saying that?”
“Because the way you look at your aunt is the same as the way my dad looks at my mum.” The little one said back.
Fu Jingting pursed his lips.
What kind of answer was that, the same look in his eyes meant that he was going to steal Rong Shu?
Moreover, how come he didn’t know that he was looking at Rong Shu with any strange eyes.
“Alright, kids don’t talk nonsense, she’s my ex-wife, we’re divorced, you think I still need to steal?” Fu Jingting said with his hand in his trouser pocket.
The little one grunted, “What’s wrong with divorce, my aunt and uncle divorced, my aunt still wants to snatch my aunt back, so you will definitely do the same Uncle Fu, no, I have to remind uncle that I can’t make friends with you.” Doudou wrinkled his little brow and looked as serious as an adult.
Fu Jingting narrowed his eyes and was about to say something when Rong Shu returned, her eyes glancing over the big one and the little one, “What are you talking about?”
“Auntie, Uncle Fu and I were talking about um ……”
Before Doudou could finish his words, he was picked up by Fu Jingting and covered his mouth.
“Nothing, let’s go, they’re done too, the third round of the game is about to start.” Fu Jingting glanced at Rong Shu and walked towards the front with Doudou in his arms.
Rongshu stood in place with a water bottle in her hand, confused, not understanding what had just happened.
“Uncle Fu!” In front, Doudou fought to take Fu Jingting’s hand away, looking at Fu Jingting with an angry face, “Why don’t you want me to finish.”
Fu Jingting lowered his eyes to meet his, “These words are not suitable for children to say.”
“I’m not an ordinary little kid, I ……”
“In the future, you are also not allowed to call Aunt Rong Shu.” Fu Jingting interrupted Doudou, his tone carried a hint of unquestionable command, sounding very authoritative.
Doudou was intimidated and blinked, “Why?”
“She and your uncle aren’t even together, why do you think?” Fu Jingting stared at him.
At first, he really thought that Rong Shu and Cheng Huai were together and had come here for a date.
But then he suddenly figured out that Rong Shu didn’t even like Cheng Huai, so how could she be with Cheng Huai.
But why they had brought this child here, he still wasn’t sure.
“Hmph, even if Uncle and Auntie aren’t together, they will be together in the future, I like Auntie a lot, and I will help Uncle get Auntie sooner.” Doudou lifted his chin and said with a proud face.
Fu Jingting’s face darkened and he felt the urge to throw the brat out.
But in the end, he held back, only the Qi around him was so low that people didn’t dare to approach.
Soon, the third round of the game began, a two-person, three-legged obstacle course.
The parents had three minutes to run to the finish line, where they had to get a basketball and then run back to the baby to throw it into the basket.
The venue for this game competition was the backyard of the restaurant, which was wide and where the restaurant had painted the track and set up the obstacles.
The manager came to Rong Shu and Fu Jingting with two red ropes.
After receiving the red ropes, Fu Jingting suddenly spoke, “Can we turn the race into a race walk?”
“This gentleman, is there any particular reason?” The manager asked with a smile.
Rongshu looked at Fu Jingting, also curious.
But Fu Jingting’s gaze fell on her stomach, “My wife is pregnant, so if she runs, she will easily fall down.”
The moment this statement was made, Rong Shu’s pupils shrank and her whole body was shocked, “You ……”
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things.
Rong Shu also quickly reacted, suppressing the shock inside and swallowing back her words.
The manager didn’t notice the small movement between the two and said back in a daze “So that’s how it is, then congratulations to Mr. and Mrs.”
“Thank you.” Fu Jingting returned.
The manager nodded, “Since this wife is pregnant, it’s really not appropriate to run, then as you said, let’s change it to a race walk, and increase the time to five minutes, how about that?”
“That’s fine.” Fu Jingting nodded his head.
The manager took the rest of the red rope and headed over to family number one.
In the last round of the game, the father of family number three, who couldn’t really support his wife on his back, lost badly to family number one.
So it was Rong Shu’s number five and number one who entered the final round of the game.
As the manager walked away, Rong Shu squeezed her palms, before she asked what she was about to ask just now, anew, “How did you know I was pregnant?”
She had only told Lu Qi and Cheng Huai, not even Xiao Chuan.
Fu Jingting lowered his eyes, hiding the strange colour in his eyes, and said, “Cheng Huai inadvertently mentioned it.”
“So that’s it.” Rongshu skimmed her mouth in relief, “That big mouth, how could he tell you everything.”
Fu Jingting’s gaze was directed elsewhere and he didn’t answer.
Rong Shu also didn’t notice that he was being vain and rubbed her brow, “But thank you for thinking of me just now.”
“It’s nothing.” Fu Jingting lightly opened his thin lips and said indifferently.
Afterwards, he clenched his fist and suddenly asked, “This child, you really don’t intend to keep it?”
Rongshu’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, “Cheng Huai has even told you this?”
“Mm.” Fu Jingting nodded his head.
“That guy.” Rong Shu muttered angrily before answering his question, “That’s right, I don’t plan to keep it.”
