Chapter 445
“She is indeed a third party to my parents.” Fu Jingting said as he rubbed his brow.
Rongshu’s eyes widened, “What? Really a third party?”
“Mm.”
“Then why are you still treating her ……”
“She’s not a third party in the conventional sense, and she didn’t break my parents’ relationship, because my parents, themselves, didn’t love each other, they only united because of the union, and they gave birth to me only because of duty, and after I was born, my parents split up, and after that my father met Wang Shuqin outside and fell in love with her.” Fu Jingting leaned back and rested against the stone wall.
Rongshu nodded in a dazed manner, “So that’s how it was.”
His parents actually didn’t love each other.
This was the first time she had heard of this.
“What about after that? When your father was with Wang Shuqin, your mother, she wasn’t angry?” Rongshu asked again as she looked at the man.
Even if she didn’t love that man, that man was still her husband.
It was impossible for a husband to find a mistress during marriage and not care, right?
However, Fu Jingting shook his head, “Not angry, for my father to fall in love with Wang Shuqin, my mother is happy to see it.”
“What?” The corner of Rongshu’s mouth twitched.
Happy to see it happen?
Was this …… what she should say, his mother’s heart was so forgiving?
“Surprised, aren’t you.” Fu Jingting looked at her and smiled a little.
Rongshu nodded, “Very surprised indeed, if it were me, I certainly wouldn’t be this generous.”
Hearing this, Fu Jingting suddenly remembered what had happened four months ago when he had offered to let her move out and make room for Gu Manyin.
No wonder that after six years of loveless marriage, she hadn’t even mentioned divorce, yet she had immediately proposed it when he was about to bring Gu Manyin home.
“What are you thinking about?” Seeing Fu Jingting suddenly wander off, Rong Shu reached out and waved a hand in front of his eyes.
Fu Jingting’s eyes flickered vaguely ah and came back to his senses, “Nothing.”
Seeing that he was unwilling to talk about it, Rong Shu did not ask more questions and turned the topic back to what he had just said.
“By the way, why is your mother happy to see it ah, although they do not love each other, but your father loves Wang Shuqin, Wang Shuqin is the threat to your mother’s position as Mrs. Fu ah.” Rongshu said as she sat down cross-legged.
Fu Jingting took another bite of the biscuit, “Because my mother has always wanted to leave the Fu family, as long as my father and Wang Shuqin got married, my mother could divorce my father, this was her dream all along, so my mother was very grateful to Wang Shuqin, she even planned to go to her grandmother at the old mansion to say some good words to her about Wang Shuqin so that she could get my father and Wang Shuqin married earlier. ”
“And then what?” Rongshu arched her back and propped her elbows on her thighs, her chin propped up in her hands, and just looked at him, like a listener.
That said, it also seemed like she’d never, ever spoken to him so calmly before.
“Then just the night before my mother went to my grandmother, my mother killed herself over something.” When Fu Jingting said this, the hand holding the biscuit tightened up so violently that it squeezed the plastic packaging with a harsh clang.
Rongshu’s mouth grew in shock, “Committed suicide?”
Ever since she learned that Wang Shuqin was not his real mother, she had probably guessed that his real mother was no longer around.
But it had never occurred to her that it was actually a suicide.
“Hmm.” Fu Jingting lowered his eyelids, making it impossible to see the look under his eyes.
“Is it related to Wang Shuqin?” Rongshu asked.
Fu Jingting shook his head, “It had nothing to do with her, she didn’t even know that my mother actually approved of her being with my father, and for that reason after my mother died, Wang Shuqin had always blamed herself and felt that it was her presence that made my mother unable to bear committing suicide, so she had always felt guilty towards my mother, and for that reason, Wang Shuqin treated me as her own child, and even when she was pregnant with Jing Lin, she had intended to abort Jing Lin, and I was the one who stopped it.”
“I see, after hearing you say all this, I have changed my mind a bit about Wang Shuqin.” Rongshu raised her eyebrows.
Fu Jingting smiled lightly, “Although she has many faults and is not an absolutely good person, she is not a bad person either.”
Rongshu did not deny this point.
In fact, during her sixth year in the Fu family, Wang Shuqin had only had a hard time with her mouth, but she had never really made a move against her.
It was only after her divorce from Fu Jingting that Wang Shuqin had moved against her the few times she had come to her door.
“Aren’t you eating?” Seeing that Fu Jingting had suddenly put the biscuits down, Rong Shu opened her mouth and asked.
Fu Jingting let out a muffled sound, “It’s almost time, I want to sleep some more, my head is still dizzy.”
“Okay, you sleep then.” Rongshu helped him down and covered him with the blanket.
Fu Jingting looked at her, “What about you?”
“I’ll sleep later, my hair isn’t dry yet.” Rongshu pointed at her own hair.
Fu Jingting nodded slightly and closed his eyes.
Rongshu got up, went back to the fire, refilled some firewood, and then sat down to continue drying her hair.
Almost half an hour later, her hair was dry, and she was a little too burnt out to snort.
The day had been nothing short of thrilling, plus life and death, and from morning to evening it had been a heart-stopping experience.
So now that I’ve relaxed, I’m physically and mentally exhausted.
After rubbing her eyes, which she could not lift up, Rongshu added more firewood to ensure that the fire would not go out in the middle of the night, and only then went over to Fu Jingting, took another quilt and laid down almost half a metre away from him.
After all, the straw-covered area was only so big, so if she didn’t sleep with Fu Jingting, she would have had to sleep on the cold ground.
Even with a quilt, it would definitely be cold enough to make people shiver, so she could only lie down next to Fu Jingting.
One person covered with a quilt anyway, so it wasn’t really sleeping under the same quilt.
The quilt on her body carried some musty smell, which didn’t smell very good, making Rongshu, who had never covered this kind of quilt before, a little less used to it.
However, this was the only condition she was in, so she had to get used to it.
So Rongshu took a deep breath, tried her best to ignore the smell, and closed her eyes.
Because she was so tired, even though the smell of the blanket was not pleasant, Rongshu soon fell into a deep sleep, her breathing becoming long and calm.
Just then, the man beside her suddenly opened his eyes, without the slightest hint of sleep in his eyes, apparently he had never really been asleep before, but had been pretending to be asleep.
Fu Jingting’s gaze fell on Rong Shu’s face, and looking at her peaceful sleeping face, he propped up his body with one hand and then moved towards her.
In order not to wake her up, he moved carefully, as if he was a thief, while staring at her face to see if she was awake.
When he finally reached Rongshu, she was not awake, so Fu Jingting was satisfied and got down again, then stretched out his arm and put his arm around Rongshu through the blanket, before closing his eyes again.
……
The next day, when Rongshu woke up, it was no longer raining outside.
When she opened her eyes and saw that the ceiling above her head was not the familiar bedroom ceiling, but a stone, she was startled “What the hell?”
How could she be here?
Rongshu subconsciously sat up, and then memories of why she was here came flooding back to her mind.
Only then did it dawn on her that something had happened yesterday.
Rongshu couldn’t help but rub her temples and calm down.
She was so dazed from her sleep that she had forgotten how she and Fu Jingting had appeared here yesterday.
Thinking of Fu Jingting, Rongshu’s body was stunned and she hurriedly looked towards her right hand side to see how Fu Jingting was doing.
When she saw Fu Jingting sleeping beside her, next to her, she couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.
What was going on?
How could he be sleeping so close?
Chapter 446
Rongshu blinked dumbly.
She remembered that when she had slept last night, she had purposely pulled away from him by half a metre.
Could it be that he had woken up in the middle of the night and leaned over specially?
No sooner had this suspicion risen than it was rejected by Rongshu herself.
Because Fu Jingting had gone to bed earlier than her, and his posture was exactly the same as it was now, without any change, so he should not have woken up in the middle of the night.
As for why he hadn’t woken up and why he was so close to her, there was only one answer to that.
It was because she had slept unfaithfully and squeezed past him!
As she thought about it, Rongshu became a little embarra*sed, not realising that she had slept so carelessly.
But soon, she calmed down.
She thought that no one would see her squeeze through anyway, and if she didn’t say anything, who would know?
Fu Jingting didn’t even know.
Stretching out, Rongshu lifted the blanket and got up, going over to the fire.
The fire had run out of firewood, so it had gone out on its own, but it was still hot, so it probably hadn’t gone out for long.
Afterwards, Rongshu touched the clothes stuck by the fire and found that they had all dried out, so she took them off one by one, ready to change into them later.
“I don’t know what time it is.” Rongshu muttered as she glanced at the white light at the entrance of the cave.
The next second, she remembered Fu Jingting’s watch, and hurriedly put down the clothes in her hands to go over and prepare to check the time.
But just as Rongshu arrived in front of Fu Jingting and squatted down before she could take his hand out, she saw that his face looked very wrong.
Why was his face so red?
And the breathing, too, was rapid and ragged.
This was clearly a sign of fever.
Her heart tightened, and Rong Shu hastily reached out her hand to touch Fu Jingting’s forehead, “It’s hot!”
She immediately withdrew her hand, her eyebrows furrowed, and then looked at the man with a serious expression.
When she had given him the medicine last night, she had made a point of disinfecting and anti-inflammatory properly, just because she was worried that the wound on his back had been mishandled and would lead to a fever.
But to her surprise, even after the wound was treated, he still had a fever.
It seemed that the fever was caused not by the wound but by the wet clothes he had worn for a long time after falling into the water and the cold wind that had been blowing on her back for a long time longer than she had.
“No, we have to find a way to bring the fever down.” Rongshu bit her lip for a moment, then hurriedly got up, went to look for the medicine box from last night, and found the fever-reducing medicine.
Rongshu took the medicine and went back to Fu Jingting’s side, then lifted him up and let him lean on her shoulder, broke open his mouth and stuffed a fever-reducing pill into his mouth.
Immediately afterwards, she closed his mouth and lifted his chin, trying to make him swallow the medicine.
But for an unconscious person, it was impossible to do the swallowing.
So after half a day of effort, the medicine was still in Fu Jingting’s mouth.
Rongshu frowned in anxiety.
The next second, she suddenly thought of a solution and her eyes lit up.
But that solution was a little difficult, and she really didn’t want to do it if she could.
But now, she had to do that in order to bring his fever down.
Rong Shu lowered her eyes and stared at Fu Jingting’s scarlet, handsome face for a few seconds before finally taking a deep breath and breaking his mouth open again, then lowering her head and kissing him.
Using a tongue kiss, Rongshu used her tongue a little to push the medicine down Fu Jingting’s throat.
After she felt it push down to the mouth of her throat, she lifted her head, picked up the mineral water next to her and opened it again, tilted her head and took a mouthful of water in her mouth, kissed Fu Jingting’s thin lips again, and little by little, she lowered the water into his mouth, until she saw the white pill at the mouth of her throat, washed down by the water, then she breathed a huge sigh of relief.
“Great, it’s gone down.” Rongshu smiled happily and screwed the water bottle shut.
She wasn’t happy for long, as she wasn’t sure if the fever-reducing medicine would work and bring Fu Jingting’s fever down.
So they couldn’t stay here any longer and wait for Fu Jingting’s people to come over.
Because no one knew when Fu Jingting’s people would come over, and if they came over soon, then of course it would be good, but they were afraid that it would be very late, and maybe by that time, Fu Jingting would have already been burnt to stupidity.
So, she had to take him with her and move on.
Thinking of this, Rong Shu immediately put down her water bottle, went to the place where she had just put her clothes, picked up Fu Jingting’s trousers, fished out the money clip from his trouser pocket, took out all the cash from it, a thick stack, and put it into the medical box.
This was a thank-you payment to the two rangers for leaving such a substance in the cave.
Otherwise she and Fu Jingting might have been frozen to death last night.
After doing this, Rongshu picked up Fu Jingting on her back and headed for the cave entrance, not even changing her clothes.
Because it was too late, changing clothes would be delaying the process, and Fu Jingting needed medical attention earlier, so she didn’t need clothes.
The path was not easy to walk on after the rain, so Rongshu was very cautious with every step she took, fearing that she and Fu Jingting would fall, so she was even more tired than yesterday.
After walking for an unknown period of time, Rongshu finally came out of the woods with Fu Jingting on her back.
Just when she was exhausted and sweating profusely, she saw a two-storey self-built house.
Looking at the house, Rongshu was like seeing a lifeline, so she used her last strength to carry Fu Jingting on her back.
Just as they reached the small courtyard of the house, a middle-aged woman came out of the house with a basin, seeing the wretched Rong Shu and the others, she couldn’t help but freeze for a moment, “What are you …… doing?”
“Save ……” Rong Shu’s dry lips moved, and before she could finish, her eyes went black.
There was a poof.
Her body went limp, taking Fu Jingting with her as she fell to the ground.
Before losing consciousness completely, she was dazed and confused when she saw the middle-aged woman throw away the basin in her hand in fright and run towards her and Fu Jingting, her mouth still shouting, “Old man come out, someone’s fainted!”
She and Fu Jingting should have been saved, right?
Thinking that, Rongshu finally pa*sed out relieved.
It was already a day later when she woke up again.
Rongshu opened her eyes, looking at the white ceiling and smelling the faint scent of sterile water in the air, she knew she was in a hospital.
And looking at the familiar decor of the ward, there was no doubt that it was the First Hospital.
Just how did she end up in the First Hospital?
Could it be that it was Fu Jingting’s people who had found them?
Rongshu rubbed her head, which was a little heavy, and then braced herself to sit up.
As a result, just after getting up a little, her face was deformed, “Ouch Ouch Ouch ……”
Rong Shu hurried to lie down again, her whole body was not well.
What the hell had she done, why was her back hurting so badly, as if it was broken!
“Baby!”
Just when Rong Shu was gently adjusting her lying position so as not to pull her back, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open with force, a figure came in from outside in a blaze of glory and went straight to the bed, her handsome face was full of nervous concern, “Baby you’re finally awake, it’s so good, I was worried sick!”
I was so worried, I was scared to death when I found out you had fallen off the cliff, I didn’t even sleep for the past two days, I was so haggard.
Hearing Lu Qi’s trembling voice and the fear in his voice, Rong Shu knew that she had really scared him by falling off the cliff, and lifted her hand to pat his back, “I’m sorry A Qi, I’m sorry to have frightened you this time, I won’t do it again.”
“You still want to have a future.” Lu Qi released her and stared at her with coaxing eyes.
