Chapter 457
Rongshu gave him a blank look, “I don’t care about you, if you want to eat later, this won’t work anyway.”
Lu Qi skimmed his lips, “Fine, for the sake of Fu Jingting saving your life, let him have these.”
“That’s more like it.” Rongshu smiled, “You sit down first, I’ll go in and fry two dishes, it’ll be quick.”
“Mhm.” Lu headed and walked towards the sofa.
Rongshu retied her apron and went back to the kitchen, continuing her work.
Soon, the meal was ready and the two settled at the table.
Lu Qi picked up his chopsticks and suddenly asked, “By the way, baby, I just saw the suitcase you put next to the coffee table.
“Not really, I’m going back to my grandfather’s old house.” Rongshu swallowed the rice in her mouth and replied.
Lu Qi looked at her suspiciously, “What are you doing back there?”
“To help Grandpa find some notes.”
“In that case, then I’ll go with you.” Lu Qi said as he put chopsticks of food into his bowl.
Rongshu squinted at him, “Why are you going along?”
“To be your driver, the muscles in your back are not yet healed, so if you drive by yourself, you will definitely not last long and your muscles will be sore, so I will go along with you, I am also relieved.” Lu Qi said with a smile.
Rongshu backhanded and touched her back.
As soon as she touched it, her back ached a little.
She understood that in this state, she indeed could not drive for a long time, as sitting for a long time would make her lower back hurt.
And the driver also happened to have taken the day off from work because tomorrow was the driver’s daughter’s birthday.
From this, she could really only find someone to drive again and go with her.
“In that case, you go then, we’ll leave at nine tomorrow morning.” Rongshu served herself a bowl of soup.
Lu Qi nodded repeatedly, “Good, then it’s a deal, I’ll pick you up in the morning.”
“Mm.” Rongshu answered.
After they finished eating, the two of them left the house.
Outside the Repulse Bay area, Rong Shu refused Lu Qi’s offer to take her to the hospital.
Because it took at most forty minutes to drive from Repulse Bay to the First Hospital, and she could still hold out for this amount of time.
When she was so stubborn, Lu Qi had no choice but to let her go.
However, when Rongshu pulled open the car door and was about to get in, Lu Qi suddenly called out to her, “Baby.”
“What’s wrong?” Rongshu held onto the car door and looked at him suspiciously.
Lu Qi had a serious face as he admonished, “When taking care of Fu Jingting, be careful not to let that guy Fu Jingting take advantage of you.”
The corners of Rongshu’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch, “What are you thinking, how could I be taken advantage of by him?”
“Baby, what I said is true, don’t take it lightly, Fu Jingting is not dead to you, and now he just happened to save you, so there is no guarantee that he won’t catch this saving grace and ask you to do something, and you can’t even refuse because you owe him.”
Hearing these words from Lu Qi, Rong Shu’s brow furrowed.
But soon, her brow relaxed again and she smiled lightly, “He won’t, I still know his character, he wouldn’t be able to do such a thing.”
It’s not like she hadn’t owed Fu Jingting before, over a billion in bank loans, corporate partnerships and so on.
As long as Fu Jingting wanted to, he could use all of these to hold her back and make her bow down.
However, Fu Jingting had never done so, so she believed that Fu Jingting was not that kind of person.
Seeing that Rong Shu didn’t think so, Lu Qi sighed, “Forget it, you won’t listen to anything I say now, anyway, you take care of yourself, if anything happens, call me, I’ll rush over immediately.”
“Okay.” Rongshu nodded her head in agreement.
She then waved at him, got into her car and left.
Forty minutes later, Rong Shu arrived outside Fu Jingting’s ward.
The door to the ward was closed, and there were faint sounds of talking from inside, probably Fu Jingting talking to someone on the phone.
Rongshu raised her hand and knocked on the door.
Soon, the sound of footsteps came from inside the door.
In the next second, the door opened and a middle-aged woman in a caregiver’s uniform appeared in front of her, smiling politely at Rong Shu, “Hello, Miss, may I ask who you are?”
“I’m here to see Mr. Fu and bring him dinner.” Rong Shu lifted the thermos bucket in her hand.
The nurse suddenly realized, “So it’s Miss Rong.”
“You know me?” Rong Shu was surprised.
The nurse smiled and nodded, “When I went in to take care of Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu had told me that if there was a young lady who brought in food, just open the door and let her in.”
“So that’s how it is.” Rongshu understood now.
So it was Fu Jingting who had said hello.
“Miss Rong, come on in, Mr. Fu has been waiting for you for a long time.” The caretaker moved aside.
Rong Shu raised her eyebrows, “Waiting for me for a long time?”
“Yes, ten minutes ago, Mr. Fu asked me to check the balcony to see if a pretty girl with a lunchbox had appeared.” The carer returned.
Rongshu smiled, “I know, please.”
It seemed that Fu Jingting was hungry.
It was also true that it was almost eight o’clock, so she had come a little late.
Rongshu carried the thermos bucket into the ward.
Fu Jingting was leaning on the bed, his eyes closed, seemingly asleep.
But Rongshu knew that he was definitely not asleep, as she had just heard him talking on the phone.
Rongshu walked over to him, put the thermos on the bedside table, and called out to the man, “Mr. Fu.”
When the man heard her voice, his eyes opened suddenly and his deep gaze locked onto her accurately, “Here?”
“Mm.” Rongshu nodded, “Sorry for keeping you waiting, I’ve filled you up with lean pork porridge and made some light tasting yam cake, see if you like it.”
With that, she opened the thermos and began to serve him the congee.
Fu Jingting watched her movements and his eyes softened, “As long as you make it, I like it all.”
Rongshu paused in her movements for a moment, but soon continued to serve the congee as if nothing had happened.
When it was ready, she handed it to him, “Be careful, it’s a bit hot.”
Fu Jingting propped himself up with one hand and sat upwards, then took the bowl she handed him, “Thank you.”
However, after he took the bowl, the two realised that he couldn’t move his other hand, so he couldn’t eat with only one hand.
After all, if he took the bowl, there was no way to hold the spoon.
The two of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
After a few seconds, Rong Shu coughed in embarra*sment, “So what, I ……”
“I’ll come down and eat.” Fu Jingting cut off her words and was about to put the bowl on the bed.
Before he could do so, though, he was stopped by Rong Shu.
“Don’t, it’s not convenient for you to move around here, it’s better for me to feed you.” Rong Shu said.
Fu Jingting was stunned for a moment, then his eyes darkened as he looked at her, his voice slightly hoarse, “Do you know what you’re talking about? You’re going to feed me?”
“Mm.” Rongshu nodded, “What’s wrong with that?”
Looking at the bewilderment in her eyes, Fu Jingting knew that she hadn’t realised the problem, and couldn’t help but let out a low laugh, “Rongshu, feeding someone is a very intimate act, so are you sure you still want to feed me?”
“……” Rong Shu froze.
She hadn’t really thought of that.
But now that the words had come out, it would seem a bit contrived to take them back.
It was as if they really had something, a deliberate attempt to avoid suspicion.
Thinking about it, Rong Shu took a breath and her gaze fell on Fu Jingting’s dangling left arm, “You’re an injured person, and I’m the one who is specifically taking care of you, so feeding an injured person is a normal thing to do, not an intimate act, okay Mr. Fu, open your mouth.”
She picked up the bowl he had just placed on the bed, scooped up a spoonful and blew on it, pa*sing it to his lips.
Fu Jingting looked at her, then at the lean meat porridge that smelled good on his lips, and finally opened his mouth.
Chapter 458
Seeing him eat, Rongshu put the spoon back into the bowl and asked with a slight hint of anticipation in her tone, “How does it taste?”
“It tastes good.” Fu Jingting swallowed the porridge in his mouth and nodded his head.
Rongshu smiled, “That’s good.”
It wasn’t in vain that she had soaked the rice, simmered it slowly over low heat, and stirred it in order to make the congee sticky.
“Go on.” Rongshu scooped up another spoonful of congee and handed it over.
The two of them just fed one to the other, and soon the bowl of congee was at the bottom.
Rongshu stood up, “Do you want more?”
“I’m already full.” Fu Jingting shook his head.
Rongshu looked at the bowl in her hand and frowned slightly, “You’re full already? You haven’t eaten much?”
And the bowl wasn’t big.
He was a 5’9″ man, she didn’t believe that a bowl of congee was full.
“Yes, I’m full.” Fu Jingting took the mouthwash handed to him by the caretaker and said, “I had a bottle of water infused while you were away this afternoon, and that medicine will make you feel slightly bloated.”
“So.” Rongshu lifted her chin in surprise, “Then I won’t persuade you, I’ll take the rest to the fridge, tomorrow morning, you can ask the nurses to heat it up for breakfast.”
“Mm.” Fu Jingting answered.
Rongshu carried the thermos bucket to the small kitchen that came with the ward and put the things away before coming back out.
She looked around and asked, “Where’s the nurse?”
“I told her to leave work.” Fu Jingting replied, holding a book in one hand.
Rongshu walked over to her, “You let her off work, what about you at night?”
“I’m not crippled, I don’t need someone to watch me all night.” Fu Jingting said as he raised his eyes.
Rongshu nodded, feeling the same, wiped her hands and headed for her bag.
Fu Jingting saw it and his eyes flashed, “You’re leaving?”
“It’s already nine o’clock, it’s almost time for me to go back.” Rongshu straightened her bag and said back.
Fu Jingting put down the book in his hand, “Can you wait a bit before you go?”
“Why?” Rongshu looked at him with some confusion.
“I want you to talk with me for a while.” Fu Jingting locked eyes with her, “Is that okay?”
After looking at the time and hesitating for a moment, Rongshu finally nodded her head and agreed, “Alright, but I must leave at ten o’clock, I have to go to the countryside tomorrow.”
“That’s fine.” Fu Jingting faintly hooked his lips.
Rongshu put down her bag and sat down again by the hospital bed.
However, Fu Jingting said he was letting her chat with him, but in fact the two of them didn’t really talk.
Rather, the whole time, Fu Jingting was teaching Rong Shu about business matters, the best way to manage the group, the future direction of the group’s development, and the industries suitable for Tian Sheng’s investment, and so on.
Originally, at the beginning, Fu Jingting had intended to teach her these things slowly.
But now, he only had three years left to live, and as time became longer, his body would slowly decay and weaken.
So he no longer has time to teach her slowly. He can only teach her as much as he can while his body has not yet started to weaken.
The mall was a place that ate people without spitting out bones, and she was only new to the mall now, and there were many schemes and tricks that she had not seen, so she did not yet know how scary and dark the mall really was.
If he could have stayed alive, she wouldn’t have had to be fully aware of the horrors of the mall because he would have protected her from the darkness of the mall.
But as it happened, the chances of him surviving were too small, so he was destined not to be able to protect her all the time; he could only try to help her become stronger, for the road ahead would depend on her.
Although Rongshu was surprised at how Fu Jingting suddenly taught her this, giving her the feeling that he seemed to be explaining something.
But she didn’t think too much about it and hurriedly listened to him carefully.
After all, these were all experiences in shopping malls and ways to survive in them, which were rare and she naturally did not want to miss them.
Time pa*sed, and soon it was eleven o’clock.
Rongshu forgot that she had said she had to be back by ten o’clock, because at that moment, she was already asleep on the hospital bed.
Fu Jingting looked at her and called out softly, “Rong Shu?”
Rongshu’s lips twitched and she did not wake up, obviously sleeping soundly.
And looking at her peaceful sleeping face, he was a little reluctant to wake her up again.
Looking around, he saw the jacket hanging on the shelf on the other side of the hospital bed, so Fu Jingting lifted the covers off his body, leaned over and took it off, then covered Rongshu’s back.
If he didn’t have only one arm to use now, he would have picked her up and carried her into the companion room inside, so that she could rest there.
Looking at his arm, which was in a cast, Fu Jingting let out a faint sigh of relief.
Afterwards, he gently lifted Rong Shu’s face away so that she could breathe more smoothly.
After doing this, the door to the ward suddenly opened.
a*sistant Zhang came in from outside with a copy of the information, “Mr. Fu, I ……”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Fu Jingting’s icy glare.
At first, a*sistant Zhang did not know what he had done wrong, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and soon saw Rong Shu sleeping by the bed, and instantly understood why Mr. Fu was looking at himself so much.
It was because the loud voice he had just made had almost woken up Rong Shu.
“Sorry Mr. Fu, I didn’t know Miss Rong was here.” a*sistant Zhang lightened his footsteps and lowered his voice back.
Only then did Fu Jingting withdraw his gaze and let him go, “Carry her to the inside room, sleeping on her back like this will make her uncomfortable.”
“I carry?” a*sistant Zhang pointed at himself in surprise, thinking he had heard wrong.
Fu Jingting narrowed his eyes, “Or else I’ll be one-handed?”
He didn’t want anyone else to touch Rong Shu either.
But there was no way.
But if he could carry himself, why would he need anyone else?
When a*sistant Zhang looked at Fu Jingting’s left arm, which was in a cast, he had nothing more to say and put down his papers, picking up Rong Shu carefully.
“Be gentle, don’t wake her up.” Fu Jingting warned.
a*sistant Zhang muttered, “I’m already being very gentle.”
“Come out immediately after you carry her in, don’t stay in there.” Fu Jingting waved his hand, signalling him to hurry up and carry the person inside.
a*sistant Zhang responded and carried Rong Shu towards the escort room.
Fu Jingting just turned his head and kept staring at his back, as if he would do something to Rong Shu.
a*sistant Zhang hurriedly became uncomfortable all over, his scalp tingling.
Therefore, after he put Rong Shu down on the bed and covered her with the quilt, he immediately went out, the whole time not more than a minute.
Only then did Fu Jingting withdraw his gaze in satisfaction, “It’s so late, what’s the matter with you coming over?”
Speaking of business, a*sistant Zhang picked up the document he had just put down, “It’s like this, news has come from the major airports, none of them have found the boarding information of Ye Kites’ group.”
“None of them have found out?” Fu Jingting’s face sank.
a*sistant Zhang nodded, “Yes.”
“Has the possibility of using fake documents been ruled out?” Fu Jingting looked at him.
a*sistant Zhang shook his head, “At first I thought about whether Ye Kites’ group had used fake information to board the plane, but later on, I rejected this conjecture, because nowadays, using fake information can easily be detected, and since Li Chuan is a hacker, he must have checked the airport information as well, if Ye Kites’ group had really used fake information to board the plane, there is no way that Li Chuan would not have acted, so the biggest possibility is that Ye Kites The biggest possibility is that Ye Kites’ group didn’t board the plane at all and are still hiding somewhere.”
Fu Jingting lifted his chin, “As I recall, there is a ferry port in Hai City, right?”
“Yes.” a*sistant Zhang first nodded, then realised something and said incredulously, “Mr. Fu, do you suspect that Ye Kites might be able to sneak across the border?”
“If he wants to leave the country, smuggling is the safest and least likely way to be caught, so the possibility of him smuggling is very high.” Fu Jingting narrowed his eyes and said.
