Chapter 459
“If that’s the case, then we were a step too late from the start, and it’s possible that by this time Ye Kite has already smuggled himself abroad.” a*sistant Zhang said with a heavy voice as his brows knitted.
Fu Jingting nodded, “Once Ye Kites has gone abroad, it will be almost impossible to find him.”
After all, the world was so big, who knew which country Ye Kites had gone to?
Although he had a bit of power abroad, it was ultimately no better than at home, and once Ye Kites had the intention to hide, there was really nothing he could do.
“That’s right.” a*sistant Zhang sighed.
Fu Jingting rubbed his fingers for a moment, “This way, have someone focus on Li Chuan’s movements next, if Li Chuan has sent someone out of the capital, then there’s a good chance he’s found Ye Kites.”
“Yes, Mr. Fu.” a*sistant Zhang nodded his head in response.
Fu Jingting looked at the time, “Alright, you go back first and come back in the morning.”
“Okay.”
a*sistant Zhang turned and left.
Shortly after he left, Fu Jingting lifted the blanket off the bed, lifted Rong Shu’s bag and walked towards the escort room inside.
When he arrived at the door, Fu Jingting gently opened it.
The light in the room was off, so he didn’t turn it on either. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and walked in lightly by the bright light of the screen.
Fu Jingting stopped at the edge of Rong Shu’s bed, put his bag on the bed and looked down at the sleeping woman, his eyes held a shocking depth of emotion, but at the same time, there was also a faint mixture of melancholy and regret.
I don’t know how long he stood there, so long that Fu Jingting’s legs went numb, before he bent down and lifted a corner of the quilt and laid down on it, next to Rong Shu, then stretched out his arm and put his arms around her gently and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
However, the next morning, just after dawn, Fu Jingting opened his eyes and woke up.
He tilted his head and looked at the woman sleeping in his arms, his eyes gentled down, raised his hand and touched her hair before gently removing her hand from his waist, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed, leaving the room gently.
Throughout the whole process, he did not make a sound, leaving as silently as if he had never entered this room before.
Two hours later, Rongshu woke up, woken up by a phone call
She frowned and stretched out a hand from under the covers, habitually touching the bedside.
Instead of touching the phone, she ended up squeezing her bag down.
The bag fell to the floor with a crunching sound.
Rongshu was startled by the sound, and her whole body instantly came to its senses.
She opened her eyes and sat up, looking at the unfamiliar room, her mind confused for a moment.
Where was this?
She couldn’t think much about it because the mobile phone in her bag on the floor was still chirping, reminding her to answer the phone.
Rongshu hurriedly lifted the covers, stepped on the carpet with her bare feet, bent down to pick up her bag and quickly found her mobile phone.
The call was from Lu Qi, and Rongshu hurriedly answered it, “Hello, Ah Qi.”
“Baby, where are you? Aren’t you home?” Lu Qi’s loud, anxious voice came over the phone.
Rongshu rubbed her hair, “Sorry A Qi, I’m really not at home.”
“I can’t believe you’re really not home!” Lu Qi stood in front of Rongshu’s flat door and asked with a frown, “Where did you go this early in the morning? Don’t forget, don’t we have to go to the countryside today?”
“I didn’t forget, but I don’t know where I am now.”
“What? You don’t know where you are?” The corner of Lu Qi’s mouth twitched.
Rongshu hmmed and turned her head to look at the room.
The room was not big, much smaller than hers, but it had all the furniture and appliances, and they were all expensive, so it was obviously not an ordinary room either.
But why was she here?
Rongshu wrinkled her eyebrows, but her mind had no memory of how she had appeared in this room.
Instead, there was the memory of listening to Fu Jingting last night as he imparted his shopping mall experience.
Then listening to ……
Rongshu’s eyes widened as she realized something and hurriedly walked towards the door of the room, “Ah Qi wait a moment, let me confirm.”
After saying that, she went to the door of the room and opened it.
The moment the room door opened, a familiar hospital bed, a familiar person appeared in front of her eyes, and she instantly understood that she had not guessed wrong.
She was indeed in the companion room of Fu Jingting’s ward.
And she also probably understood why she was here, she had no memory of listening to Fu Jingting imparting his experience last night, and had no memory of it afterwards.
That was because, she had fallen asleep.
So Fu Jingting had someone, who had gotten her into this escort room.
When she thought of this amount, Rong Shu breathed a huge sigh of relief, and the nervousness she felt in her heart about being in a strange environment gradually dissipated, and her body relaxed.
She put the phone to her ear again, “Ah Qi, I know where I am, I’m at the hospital.”
On the other end of the phone, Lu Qi wrinkled his brows, “Baby, you’re not at Fu Jingting’s place, are you?”
“Mm.” Rongshu nodded her head and didn’t deny it.
Lu Qi pursed his lips, “Indeed, you didn’t come back after you went last night, right?”
“……” Rong Shu opened her mouth and acquiesced.
Lu Qi gritted his teeth, “Baby, did that guy Fu Jingting tell you to stay?”
“No.” Rong Shu shook her head, “It was myself who couldn’t resist falling asleep, that’s why I didn’t go back.”
It was herself?
Lu Qi was a little vain about having wronged Fu Jingting, and his attitude softened, “Alright, then did he do anything to you?”
Rongshu cried and laughed, “What are you thinking, he’s a patient, what could he do to me?”
“That’s not necessarily true, he only has one arm that doesn’t work, the other arm and hand are fine.” Lu Qi muttered sullenly.
Rongshu shook her head helplessly, “Come on Ah Qi, I know you have a strong opinion of him, but you don’t have to think so badly of him, he saved me and Xiaochuan, so I hope you treat him slightly better in your attitude.”
“I know, I’m already treating him well enough now, if it was before, I would have greeted him long ago.” Lu Qi grunted, then his expression narrowed as he asked about business, “Baby, when are you coming back?”
Rongshu looked at the time, it was already eight o’clock, and said, “I’ll be right back.”
“Okay, then I’ll wait for you.”
“Okay.”
The call ended, and Rong Shu put down her phone and walked out of the escort room.
Outside the ward, Fu Jingting heard footsteps and opened his eyes, then sat up with one hand propped up on the bed sheet underneath him, “The phone call just now, was that Lu Qi?”
Rongshu was still walking gingerly, when she suddenly heard his voice, her whole body was taken aback by him, she subconsciously stopped and patted her chest in shock, “So you weren’t asleep.”
“I woke up long ago, I just heard you talking on the phone, so I didn’t disturb.” Fu Jingting smiled lightly at her.
Rongshu put her hand down, “So that’s how it is.”
“I’m sorry for scaring you.” Fu Jingting opened his mouth to apologise.
Rongshu shook her head gently, “It’s alright.”
“The phone call just now, I heard it.” Fu Jingting looked at her.
Rongshu looked back at him, “And then what?”
She was calm.
Because her conversation with Lu Qi did not say anything bad about him, so there was no need to be nervous or anything.
Fu Jingting hooked his lips slightly, “I’m happy to hear that you told Lu Qi to treat me better.”
Did this mean that she had already let go of her hard feelings towards him in her heart.
And then began to understand that this real him today was better than the hypnotized him before?
Looking at the faint joy in Fu Jingting’s eyes, Rong Shu inexplicably felt herself feel a little better.
But she didn’t show it on her face, she just skimmed her lips and said, “There’s nothing to be happy about, I’m just talking about the matter.”
Chapter 460
“Of course I’m happy, this is the first time I’ve heard you defend me in front of Lu Qi and the others.” Fu Jingting said as he leaned against the head of the bed.
Rongshu’s eyes flashed for a moment and lowered her eyelids, “You’re my benefactor, so naturally I have to defend you, otherwise what would I be?”
“Just a benefactor?” Fu Jingting looked at her.
Rongshu’s heart skipped a beat and her eyelids dropped even lower, “Then what else?”
Fu Jingting didn’t speak anymore, he just stared at her.
Only after a while did he lightly open his thin lips and say, “I know, the benefactor is not bad, let’s eat breakfast first.”
He pointed to the thermos bucket at the bedside.
The nurse had bought it early in the morning.
Rongshu craned her head to look at it and gave a hint, then walked over and opened the thermos.
She split the breakfast into two portions, one for Fu Jingting and one for herself.
For her own, she didn’t touch it, but instead picked up Fu Jingting’s portion and sat down by the hospital bed, ready to feed him like she did last night.
This time, however, Fu Jingting refused, gently blocking away the spoon, “You eat first, you can feed me when you’re done.”
“What’s different about this?” Rongshu asked suspiciously.
Fu Jingting’s thin lips moved slightly as he said, “I don’t want you to go hungry.”
Hearing these words, something crossed Rongshu’s heart, so fast that she couldn’t catch it, and her eyes began to look at him in a complicated way.
She gripped the spoon in her hand and her lips moved for a moment before she made a sound, “I’m fine, and I’m not particularly hungry either, you’re the patient, you eat first.”
“I’m a man.” Fu Jingting suddenly said.
Rongshu C*cked her head, somewhat not quite understanding what he meant.
What did eating breakfast have to do with whether he was a man or a woman?
Looking at the confusion in Rong Shu’s eyes, Fu Jingting smiled lightly, “I mean, I’m a patient, but I’m also a man, and as a man courtesy to a lady is basic etiquette, so you eat first.”
“This ……”
Rongshu was about to say something else when Fu Jingting cut her off, “Obey.”
His tone carried a hint of non-negotiability.
Rongshu’s mouth opened, but she finally agreed, mmming, “Okay.”
She set the spoon loose from the bowl, then picked up her own portion and began to eat.
However, she didn’t mean to finish it, but after taking a bite, she put the bowl down and swirled to pick up his bowl again.
When Fu Jingting saw this, the end of his eyebrow twitched, “You’re ……”
Rongshu scooped up a spoonful of white porridge and pa*sed it to his lips, “I’ll take a bite and feed you a bite, so we can eat together, no one is holding anyone back, how nice.”
Fu Jingting froze for a moment, obviously not expecting that he would let her eat first, and she had actually come up with this solution.
For a moment, he couldn’t help but lose his smile, “It’s quite good, but you don’t find it troublesome?”
“If I found it troublesome, I wouldn’t have come to take care of you, well, open your mouth.” Rongshu ordered after smiling a little.
Fu Jingting opened his mouth as he was told.
Just like that, the two of them took nearly twenty minutes to finish their breakfast, one bite from you and one bite from me.
It could be said that this was the most tiring breakfast that Rongshu had ever eaten, because all morning, she kept changing bowls.
But for some reason, her heart didn’t feel tired, but rather a little …… sweet?
How is it possible!
The actual fact is that you can’t have a good deal more than a few of these.
It is really a magic.
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on this.
When Fu Jingting saw this, he asked with a tone of concern, “What’s wrong? Is there anything wrong?”
“No.” Rongshu hurriedly stopped shaking her head and said back.
Fu Jingting was still uneasy, “Did you not sleep well last night?”
Hearing him mention last night, Rongshu suddenly thought of something and looked at him, “Right, Mr. Fu, you had someone carry me into the room last night, didn’t you?”
“It’s nothing, it’s not a big deal.” Fu Jingting waved his hand.
Rongshu packed up the thermos bucket, “It’s getting late, Mr. Fu, then I’ll leave for today, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
She put on her bag.
Fu Jingting knew where she was going today and nodded, “Go, be careful on your way and be safe.”
“I will.” Rongshu curled her lips into a smile, waved at him and walked towards the door of the ward.
Fu Jingting watched her back.
Rongshu could also feel his gaze following her all the time.
If it had been in the past, she would not have turned back even if she knew he was looking at her.
But now, she could not ignore it.
He was her benefactor, and if she deliberately ignored it, she would feel like a white-eyed wolf somehow.
Therefore when Rong Shu went out, she stopped slightly, then turned back to Fu Jingting and smiled, “Goodbye!”
Fu Jingting was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting her to turn back and say goodbye to him.
Subconsciously, he also wanted to say goodbye back.
But not only did he think of something, he swallowed the two back and only gave a muffled sound as a response.
Rongshu didn’t feel anything wrong either, and after hearing his response, she turned her head back and lifted her feet to walk away.
The moment she lifted her feet, Fu Jingting stretched out his hand, wanting to call out to her.
But in the end, he held back and put his hand down.
Three years, without his heart, he could only live for three years.
And in those three years, every day that pa*sed meant that he would see her one day less, and goodbye too.
So, he didn’t want to say goodbye to her.
Because the end of goodbye is never to see her again ……
How he wanted to keep her, to stay with him, so that he could see him all the time during these three years.
But he couldn’t, it would be imprisoning her, not loving her.
Outside the hospital, Rongshu, who had come to the car, didn’t know what was wrong, and felt a sudden, inexplicable panic in her heart.
I couldn’t say why, nor was I sure why it was happening.
In short, it gave her an indescribable feeling of unease.
As she was thinking, Rong Shu suddenly saw something and her eyes narrowed.
That was the …… police officer guarding Gu Manyin!
Looking at the female police officer carrying breakfast in front of her, Rong Shu then remembered that Gu Manyin was still in the special ward of the hospital, doing extra-prisoner execution, and had not yet been sent to the women’s prison.
Counting the time, twenty days had already pa*sed, and there were still ten days to go.
In ten days’ time, Gu Manyin would be formally admitted to prison when her out-of-prison sentence ended.
By then, she would still be able to give Gu Manyin a ride herself.
Thinking of this, Rong Shu looked up at the hospital floor where the special ward was located, pulled open the car door and got in.
Forty minutes later, Asahi Bay arrived.
When Lu Qi saw Rong Shu come out of the lift, he immediately stood up from the shoe pad at the entrance of Rong Shu’s flat and said with a sultry look on his face, “Baby, you’ve finally come back. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you? If it weren’t for the fact that your flat is a one-staircase apartment, my silly face sitting here would probably be seen by many people, and then my reputation would be ruined.”
Rongshu looked at his exaggerated look and apologised and laughed, “Sorry Ah Qi, I’m late.”
“Forget it, I waited of my own free will anyway, I forgive you.” Lu Qi waved his hand, then gave up his place at the door, “Open the door quickly.”
Rongshu gave a hint and opened the door with her fingerprints.
Lu Qi followed him in, “Right baby, have you had breakfast, if not, I’ll go down and get it now.”
“I’ve already eaten, Fu Jingting’s caretaker bought breakfast.” Rongshu said as she changed her shoes.
Lu Qi said sourly “Your acceptance of him is getting higher and higher now, even his breakfast, you don’t refuse it anymore.”
Hearing these words, Rong Shu paused in putting her shoes on, but quickly regained her natural state, hanging her bag on the shelf to answer, “It’s just a breakfast, it’s not worth a few dollars, all right A Qi, you wait for me in the living room, I’ll go shower and change, we’ll leave later.”
