Chapter 461
“Okay, you go ahead.” Lu Qi waved his hand.
Rongshu went back to her room and got her clothes and went to the bathroom.
Lu Qi went to the sofa and sat down, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, watching it while waiting for her to come out after the shower.
After waiting for almost ten minutes, Rongshu came out.
Her hair was still wet from the shower, her cheeks were a little flushed, and her eyes were misty, pure and lustful, making the heart grow fonder.
Lu Qi’s eyes darkened and he couldn’t help but whistle, “Baby, are you tempting me by saving out like this?”
Rong Shu gave him a blank look, “How did I tempt you?”
“Aren’t you tempting me? Just coming out of the shower, you know it’s a fatal temptation for a man, baby, are you tempting me ……”
Before Lu Qi could finish his words, he was smashed over by a Muppet from Rong Shu.
Lu Qi’s forehead was smashed and he fell on the sofa with an ouch.
Rong Shu clapped her hands, “What are you talking nonsense all day long, all right, I will go back to my room to blow dry my hair, you continue to watch TV.”
After saying that, she opened the door and went into the room.
Lu Qi rubbed his forehead and sat up, looking at the closed door of his room, his eyes incomparably gloomy.
She really still didn’t understand his heart.
It was not that he had never hinted to her that he had never treated her as any kind of bosom friend, but as the woman he loved and wanted to be with her.
But she never understood, all just thought he was paying lip service, flirting with her, not being serious.
Of course, there were his own reasons for this situation.
He had never told her directly that he liked her.
Because he didn’t have the courage, was too cowardly and had too many scruples.
He had always been worried that if he told her, maybe by then they wouldn’t even have to be friends.
His mother had seen his concerns and had advised him to be brave, that maybe in return for making his feelings known, he would not have no chance of being friends, but the possibility of being together, but he still couldn’t do it.
Maybe that’s why he was the one who met her first and spent the most time with her, but in the end, she fell in love with another man.
But if he had been braver, bolder, would it have ended differently for him and her?
“Thinking about something?” In the middle of his thoughts, Rong Shu’s voice rang out in front of him.
Lu Qi’s eyes flickered for a moment, gathering his thoughts and coming back to his senses, “Nothing.”
He smiled and looked towards her, her hair had been blow dried, tied up with a pill head on top of her head, her face was also wearing light make-up, coupled with a casual outfit, she didn’t look like a mature woman of twenty six or seven, but like a college student who had just left school.
“That’s a nice outfit.” Lu Qi turned off the TV and stood up, complimenting her.
Rongshu laughed, “Do you mean to say that my usual dressing is not good?”
“That’s not true, I just want to say that the way you dress today, you look more approachable, and the way you usually dress, you look more like a strong woman.” Lu Qi said with his hands in his trouser pockets.
Rongshu satcheled her bag, “I can’t help it, my looks are too soft and not intimidating, I can only put some effort into my dressing to make myself look intimidating, otherwise I can’t control the people in the group.”
“That’s true.” Lu Qi nodded his head.
“Well, let’s go.” Rongshu turned around and was about to pull the suitcase.
Lu Qi held out his hand, “I’ll do it.”
Rongshu was not polite with him and gave him the suitcase.
After leaving the door, the two of them drove straight to the highway toll station out of the city.
Not long after they left, Rongshu’s mobile phone rang.
She took it out and glanced at it, seeing the words Fu Jingting bouncing on the screen, her expression was a little surprised.
Lu Qi saw it out of the corner of his eye and opened his mouth to ask, “Yes?”
“Fu Jingting.” Rongshu didn’t hide it either, and held the phone out to him for a glance.
Lu Qi skimmed his lips, “What’s he calling for?”
“Not sure, I won’t know until I answer it.” Rongshu said as she answered the phone.
Fu Jingting’s low voice came through, “Have you set off?”
Rongshu gave a muffled sound, “Just left, Mr. Fu, is there something wrong?”
“It’s not a big deal, if Li Chuan contacts you afterwards and mentions Ye Kites’ whereabouts to you, can you please tell me about it?” On the other end of the phone, Fu Jingting stood in front of the ward’s floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the tree trunks that had finished dropping their leaves, leaving only the bare trunks, and said in a soft voice.
Rongshu nodded, “Yes, but ……”
“What’s wrong?” Hearing the difficulty in her tone, Fu Jingting’s face tightened up, a hint of worry in his eyes.
Rong Shu shook her head, “Nothing, it’s just that I’m not sure if Xiao Chuan, now, will contact me or talk to me about Ye Kites’ whereabouts.”
“What’s going on? Did you and Li Chuan have a falling out?” Fu Jingting raised his eyebrows.
Rong Shu rubbed her brow, “That’s not true, it’s Xiao Chuan who …… has a split personality.”
“What?” Fu Jingting looked stunned, then his face turned serious, “Are you saying that Li Chuan’s personality split, the current Li Chuan, is another personality?”
“Mm.” Rongshu leaned back towards the back of the seat, her eyes looking out of the window, revealing a bit of confusion, “I don’t understand the current Xiaochuan at all, and I don’t even know how to get along with him, so even if I asked, I’m afraid he wouldn’t tell me.”
Fu Jingting didn’t speak anymore, his brows knitted tightly.
How could Li Chuan suddenly have a split personality?
He did know that Li Chuan had a mental illness, and he also knew that Li Chuan had the possibility of a split personality.
But he had never thought that Li Chuan had actually split his personality, and at this time.
And most importantly, he didn’t know if this personality of Lai Chuan had the memories of the master personality, and if he would have the hacking skills that the master personality would have.
If not, then I’m afraid that even if he sent someone to keep an eye on this Lai Chuan, he wouldn’t be able to find Ye Kites.
Narrowing his eyes, Fu Jingting reopened his mouth, “The current Li Chuan, what kind of personality is he?”
Rongshu recalled the Li Chuan she had seen two days ago and bit her lip as she returned, “I can’t say for sure, but what I can say for sure is that this Xiao Chuan, inside is very dark, the kind of person who no one knows what he will do next.”
Fu Jingting pursed his thin lips, “It seems to be a very dangerous personality, since that’s the case, then don’t do what I just said, even if he does contact you, don’t ask him, stay away from him, don’t let him hurt you.”
“I know.” Rongshu nodded her head.
Fu Jingting hmmed, “That’s good, I have nothing more to do, come back early tomorrow, I want to ……”
“Hmm?” Rongshu saw him trailing off, wanting to say something but never saying it, she couldn’t help but be a little puzzled, “Mr. Fu, what do you want?”
“Nothing, that’s all, be safe on the road.” Fu Jingting finished and put the phone down.
Rongshu frowned and took the phone down from her ear, looking at the phone screen that had jumped back to the main menu, her pink lips couldn’t help but purse a little.
What the hell did he want to say?
To stop talking halfway through and then not say anything, this kind of behaviour, it was really disconcerting.
Rongshu uncomfortably put her phone back into her bag, then propped her elbow on the window’s control lock and looked out of the window with a sulky look.
Lu Qi caught a glimpse of her appearance and asked, “Baby, did Fu Jingting upset you?”
Rongshu’s back stiffened for a moment, but she quickly returned to her natural state and said indifferently, “No, he can’t make me angry.”
“Really?” Taking advantage of the red light, Lu Qi twisted his head to look at her, “But you look like this, you are obviously angry, or angry after answering the phone, so if Fu Jingting didn’t make you angry, who else could it be?”
Chapter 462
Rongshu looked at Lu Qi’s dark eyes that seemed to be able to see through her, finally she couldn’t lie and could only admit, “Okay, I admit that I was a bit angry, A Qi, is it true that you men like to talk halfway?”
“What do you mean?” Lu Qi blinked.
Rongshu took her hand away from the window lock, “It means that you guys obviously want to say something, but when you get halfway through, after arousing other people’s curiosity, you suddenly don’t say anything.”
“So that’s it, so you’re upset over this little thing?” The corners of Lu Qi’s mouth twitched.
Rongshu pursed her lips, “It’s just that I feel, in a way, like I’m being teased.”
Lu Qi looked at her with a serious expression, “Baby, don’t you think that something is not quite right with you these past two days?”
“Huh?” Rongshu froze, “What’s not right?”
“It’s on the matter of Fu Jingting.” Lu Qi gripped the steering wheel tightly and said, “Ever since your divorce, your attitude towards Fu Jingting has always been very light, no matter what he does, you don’t care, but in the past two days, haven’t you noticed that your mood swings have become bigger in your attitude towards Fu Jingting, and you’ve also become much more concerned?”
Hearing this, Rong Shu’s heart skipped a beat, then she looked away, “How is that possible, Ah Qi, you’ve misread it.”
“I didn’t misread it, I saw it for real, just now was the proof.” Lu Qi pointed at her phone, “If before, Fu Jingting spoke halfway, even if it aroused your curiosity, you wouldn’t have gotten angry, you would have just thought he was nuts, because you didn’t care about him, so you didn’t get angry, but now you’re getting angry on the contrary, what does that mean, it means you’re starting to care about him.” Lu Qi said in a low voice.
Rong Shu’s pupils contracted for a moment.
She cared about Fu Jingting?
No, that couldn’t be!
She had long since lost her feelings for him, so how could she possibly care for him.
Thinking, Rong Shu took a deep breath, calmed her inner turmoil, and said with a cold face, “Ah Qi, I don’t care about him, it’s possible that I’ve been paying a bit too much attention to him in the past two days, but that’s because he saved me, so my attitude towards him, naturally, has changed somewhat, if I still treat him indifferently like before, then wouldn’t I be ungrateful and unrighteous? ”
“Yes, Fu Jingting saved you, as your benefactor, you indeed shouldn’t be indifferent to him, but that doesn’t mean that you can care so much about him, so Rongshu, aren’t you using the kindness again to cover up the reason that you have started to care about Fu Jingting?” Lu Qi stared at her closely, as if he wanted to see her through.
Rongshu’s heart choked for a moment, then she clenched her palms and said back dully, “Of course not.”
“Really?” Lu Qi narrowed his eyes.
Rongshu looked at him angrily, “Believe it or not, and Lu Qi, don’t judge me like a prisoner, you’re not my father!”
Hearing the anger in her tone, Lu Qi also knew that he had gone too far and hurriedly apologized, “Sorry baby, I didn’t mean any harm, I was also worried about you, worried that you would fall in love with Fu Jingting again, that’s why ……”
“Why would you think I would fall in love with him again?” Rongshu frowned, understandingly asking.
Lu Qi sighed, “Because of the change in your attitude towards Fu Jingting in the past two days, and also because of Fu Jingting’s saving grace to you, his going out of his way to save you is the easiest way to move a person’s heart, I don’t believe baby you didn’t have a shock in your heart when you saw Fu Jingting jump off the cliff at that time.”
“…… “Rong Shu’s lips twitched and she did not retort.
Because she was, indeed, greatly shaken inside at that time.
Jumping off a cliff at the expense of her own life, just to save her, not everyone could do that, Xiao Chuan who claimed to love her could not do that, while Fu Jingting who also claimed to love her did.
So, how could she not feel it inside.
Seeing that Rong Shu didn’t say anything, Lu Qi sighed in his heart and added: “Look, you yourself can’t even deny seeing Fu Jingting jump off the cliff and not having fluctuations inside, that’s why baby, I’m so worried about you falling in love with him all over again, you’re so easily out of the sea of misery after breaking away from the Fu family, I don’t want you to fall in again and end up all wounded again ah.”
He did think so, he didn’t want her to go back to the Fu family again, to live those six years before, those days when she was not a human being.
It was so nice to see her now, with her career, her drive, her body all glowing with light.
Of course, he also had a little selfishness of his own. He did not want her to fall in love with Fu Jingting again, because then she and Fu Jingting would soon be together again, and he would lose the possibility of getting her again.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what’s going on in your mind, and you can’t see the emotions under your eyes.
“Baby, is what you said true?” Lu Qi asked with slightly bright eyes.
Rongshu’s throat twitched, “Mm.”
Lu Qi smiled, “That’s good, baby, remember what you said, you won’t fall in love with Fu Jingting, so you mustn’t fall in love with him.”
Rongshu raised her eyes and looked at him, “Of course!”
“With that word from you, I’m relieved, okay, sit tight, I’m driving.” The red light had finally gone and the green light came on, Lu Qi put the gear down and restarted the car.
Rongshu lowered her head, hiding the expression on her face, and her palms clenched tighter.
Even if Ah Qi didn’t remind her, she wouldn’t fall in love with Fu Jingting.
Absolutely not!
Although she thought so, Rongshu felt inexplicably clogged in her heart.
As for why she felt blocked, she didn’t understand, nor did she want to understand.
Her intuition told her that it was best not to understand, and that if she did, there was a chance that something would be lost and she would lose control.
……
At two o’clock in the afternoon, the old mansion of the old man finally arrived.
The old mansion of the old master is an ancient, two-in, two-out courtyard.
From what my grandfather said, my grandfather’s grandfather was a fourth-ranking official of the last feudal dynasty, and the mansion was rewarded by the emperor, then it was kept and became the ancestral home of my grandfather’s family.
Lu Qi looked up at the ancient mansion and marvelled, “Baby, your grandfather’s old mansion is actually an antique, ah, but it’s a bit old, many parts are rotten, it needs to be repaired, otherwise in another two years, it won’t be able to be lived in.”
Rongshu took out the key her grandfather had given her a few years ago and unlocked it as she replied, “Because grandfather has always been in and out of major ancient tombs and rarely lives at home, that’s why the old mansion is decaying so quickly.
Strangely enough, if someone lives in an old house like this one all the time, the house will not decay.
But if no one lives in it, the house will decay especially fast, and before long, it could collapse.
“This place is nice, the environment is good, the air is good, I would like to retire here.” Lu Qi said as he rubbed his chin and surveyed the surroundings.
Rongshu cried and laughed, “Then I’m afraid you’ll have to wait for a few more decades, well, the lock is open, come in.”
She took off the key and pushed the door.
The door hadn’t been opened for a long time, and when it was pushed open by Rong Shu, it made that creepy sound effect, just like in horror movies, which was creepy to hear.
Lu Qi shrank his neck and rubbed his arms, “Baby, why is it cold, there’s no ghost, right?”
Rong Shu glanced at him coolly, “Your house is the one with ghosts, if you are afraid, don’t go in.”
If you’re afraid, don’t go in.” With those words, she took a big step into the door.
