Chapter 473
Even the one hand on the edge of the bed tightened up violently, as if it wanted to shatter the edge of the window.
a*sistant Zhang came in and smelled a sour, vinegary smell emanating from Fu Jingting’s body.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Fu, what’s wrong with you?”
Fu Jingting didn’t answer, just narrowed his eyes and stared down.
a*sistant Zhang walked over, followed his line of sight, saw Rong Shu and Cheng Huai, and instantly understood everything.
No wonder Mr. Fu smelled so jealous, when he had just come in, he wondered what was in this restaurant that was worthy of Mr. Fu’s jealousy.
It turned out that Miss Rong was eating here with Mr. Cheng
“Mr. Fu, do you want to go down?” a*sistant Zhang stood behind Fu Jingting and asked.
Fu Jingting’s thin lips pursed into a straight line, “No need.”
“Hey?” a*sistant Zhang looked at him in surprise, “Not going down?”
Fu Jingting nodded his head.
a*sistant Zhang still had some disbelief, “But Miss Rong and Mr. Cheng are having dinner together and are so happy, you ……”
“Well, go and see if Mr. Chen has arrived yet, there’s still an hour and a half to go back to the hospital.” Fu Jingting interrupted him with a slight wrinkle of his brow, then turned around and headed for the sofa in the box.
a*sistant Zhang looked downstairs and followed him back, “I’ve just asked Mr. Chen, he’s got some traffic on the road and probably won’t arrive for another ten minutes.”
Fu Jingting hmmed and didn’t say anything more, sitting down on the sofa and picking up a magazine and flipping it open.
On the surface, he seemed to be seriously reading the magazine, but a*sistant Zhang noticed that his pupils were lax and not focused at all, so it was clear that he was clearly lost in thought.
a*sistant Zhang knew why he was lost in thought, it must be because of Miss Rong and Mr. Cheng.
Mr. Fu so love Miss Rong, see Miss Rong and other men together, how can the heart does not care not to care, is estimated to be jealous of the death.
And according to Mr. Fu’s character that can’t tolerate sand in his eyes, he would have come downstairs like before and appeared in front of Miss Rong and Mr. Cheng, stirring up their pleasant meal, and definitely would not let Miss Rong and other men alone together.
But this time, Mr. Fu had very abnormally not done that.
Clearly he could see that Mr. Fu actually wanted to go down and chase Mr. Cheng away or bring Miss Rong up.
But then Fu Jingting chose to give up as if he was in some kind of scruples, which made him very confused.
Thinking about this, a*sistant Zhang looked at Fu Jingting, his eyes behind his gla*ses were full of incomprehension.
He used to be able to guess a few things about what Mr. Fu was thinking, but ever since Mr. Fu came back from the cliff fall, Mr. Fu’s mind had become deeper and deeper.
Now he, his beloved, was completely inscrutable.
Downstairs, Rong Shu looked up at a certain window on the first floor, her good-looking eyebrows frowning slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
Cheng Huai cut a piece of steak and put it into his mouth, “What’s wrong? What are you looking at?”
“I feel like, just now, someone was looking at me.” Rongshu pursed her lips and said with some uncertainty.
Cheng Huai was surprised and stopped his knife and fork, “Someone was looking at you?”
“Mm.” Rongshu nodded her head.
Cheng Huai raised his head and looked in the direction she was looking, “Do you want me to ask the waiter to ask who is in that box?”
“Better forget it.” Rongshu waved her hand and refused, “What can I do if I ask, the others are just looking at me and not doing anything to me, in case I go and ask and anger the other party, it will cause unnecessary trouble again, this is a restaurant, it’s best not to make a fuss, just pretend you don’t know.”
“What you said is also true.” Cheng Huai nodded, then pushed a pastry in front of her, “Try this, the pastry in this restaurant is very good.”
“Is it.” Rongshu couldn’t help but swallow a little as she looked at the brightly coloured and particularly delicious cake on the plate.
She herself loved desserts, and especially when she saw such good-looking ones, she couldn’t hold them back.
So Rongshu eventually lost out to her inner craving and left the thought of keeping her figure behind, before picking up her fork and forking a piece of cake down, “I’ll be polite then, thanks.”
With those words, she fed the cake into her mouth.
Cheng Huai leaned closer to look at her, “How does it taste?”
Rongshu’s eyes lit up, “It’s really good.”
“Right, what I recommend won’t be bad, when you leave later, you can even order some to pack away.” Cheng Huai said with a smile.
Rongshu put down her fork, “That’s a good suggestion, then I’ll take some away with me later.”
After saying that, she picked up her gla*s of water and prepared to take a sip to wash away the sweet taste in her mouth so that she could continue eating.
At this moment, Cheng Huai suddenly called out to her, “Wait.”
“What’s wrong?” Seeing the urgency in his tone, Rongshu was startled, and the hand holding the water cup shook a little, almost shaking the water out of it.
Cheng Huai drew two tissues, “Don’t move.”
He reached over and wiped the cream off the corner of her mouth.
Rongshu didn’t expect him to do this and her whole body froze.
And on the first floor, it was Fu Jingting, who was unable to let go, who once again got up and walked towards the window.
As soon as he arrived at the window, he saw the ambiguous scene of Cheng Huai wiping the corner of Rongshu’s mouth with his own hands.
Fu Jingting’s pupils suddenly contracted, his face became even more ugly, and the cold air emanating from his body seemed to freeze people to death, while the magazine in his hand was even scattered into pages because of his anger and jealousy.
Zhang a*sistant at his side, look at the downstairs, and look at the magazine on the ground, the whole person some headache.
Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu, if you care so much about Miss Rong and Mr. Cheng, go down and split them up!
Why be angry alone and do nothing?
Why bother?
Thinking, a*sistant Zhang took a deep breath, looked at Fu Jingting’s cold, hard face and said, “Mr. Fu, why don’t we go down?”
Fu Jingting tightened his thin lips and did not speak.
Thinking that he hadn’t heard him, a*sistant Zhang shouted twice more.
This time Fu Jingting finally responded, narrowing his eyes and saying, “No, let them be.”
“Let them be?” a*sistant Zhang’s mouth opened wide in surprise, “Let Mr. Cheng and Miss Rong behave so intimately?”
Fu Jingting lowered his eyes, “Rong Shu has a long life ahead of her, while I will most likely only have three years to live, for this reason alone, Cheng Huai is more suitable for her than me.”
When he heard this, a*sistant Zhang realized that Fu Jingting clearly cared about Rongshu and Cheng Huai getting so close, yet he refused to go down and separate the two.
It was because Mr. Fu, wanted to let go of Miss Rong.
Mr. Fu wants other men who adore Miss Rong to stand by her side and give her happiness.
As Mr. Fu said, Miss Rong’s life is still long, if Mr. Fu really can not live more than three years, then Mr. Fu snatch Miss Rong back, but harm Miss Rong.
So now it would be the right thing for Mr. Fu to let go and let Miss Rong find her own happiness.
But this is no different for Mr. Fu to personally push the person he loves into someone else’s arms, and this is no different from digging out his own heart.
“Mr. Fu, is it really okay for you to do this?” a*sistant Zhang looked at Fu Jingting, “Maybe we can find the heart, by then ……”
“What do you think the chances of finding the heart are?” Fu Jingting cut off his words, his voice clear and cold, “If it could be found that easily, then before, I wouldn’t have to wait twenty four years.”
“I ……” a*sistant Zhang clenched his fist, unable to speak.
Yes, if the right heart was really that easy to find, with the power of the Fu family, it would have been found by now.
And it was because the chances of finding one were so small that Mr. Fu had let go of Miss Rong.
Chapter 474
Downstairs, Rong Shu finally snapped out of her daze and stood up to look at Cheng Huai unhappily, “What are you doing?”
Cheng Huai did not expect her to react so strongly, and after his eyes flickered for a moment, he withdrew his hand, “Wiping the cream for you.”
Afraid that she wouldn’t believe him, he handed her a paper towel and gestured for her to look at it.
Seeing that there was indeed a bit of cream on it, Rongshu knew that she had misunderstood, calmed down and sat down again, “So that’s it, sorry, I thought you ……”
“Thought I was taking advantage of you.” Cheng Huai said with a smile.
Rongshu squeezed the corners of her mouth noncommittally, “Anyway, don’t do that in the future, it’s easy to get the wrong idea, you can tell me and I’ll do it myself.”
“It’s just a hand up, no one will get the wrong idea, but since you insist, then fine.” Cheng Huai shrugged his shoulders and agreed.
Only he himself knew how sorry he was in his heart.
He thought that with occasional ambiguous gestures, he would get her used to it a little and eventually move her heart.
But unexpectedly, she was so wary and her heart was so strong that she wouldn’t give him the slightest chance to be flirtatious.
It seems that if he wants to pursue her, he has to do it slowly.
Cheng Huai laughed bitterly and shook his head.
An hour later, the two finished their meal.
Rongshu settled the bill, packed two more strawberry cakes and prepared to go back.
Just as she stepped out of the restaurant, a cold wind hit her, blowing on her body and face, causing her to sneeze and even shiver along with it.
Seeing this, Cheng Huai hurriedly asked, “Cold?”
“A little.” Rongshu nodded back, then looked up at the sky.
There was not a single star in the sky, not even the moon, and the darkness was depressing, so it looked like it was going to rain before long.
As she was thinking, Rongshu suddenly felt a sinking feeling on her shoulder, and there was something extra.
She hurriedly withdrew her gaze and looked down, only then did she realise that there was an extra piece of clothing on her shoulder.
The clothes looked very familiar, and they were clearly worn by Cheng Huai.
Rongshu turned her head towards the man beside her and saw that the jacket on the man’s body was gone, leaving only a shirt and a knitted vest, and said in surprise, “Why did you give me the clothes?”
“Aren’t you cold, as a man, you should.” Cheng Huai laughed.
However, Rongshu frowned, somewhat disapproving, “Even so, but you will still be cold, I don’t want you to freeze yourself because of that, so take these clothes back and put them on quickly.”
Saying that, she took the jacket off her body and was about to return it to Cheng Huai.
But Cheng Huai forcefully draped it back over her shoulders and held her down on both sides of her shoulders in order to prevent her from taking it off again, “Okay, listen to me, drape it, I’m a big man, how can I possibly freeze and catch a cold.”
“But ……”
Just as Rongshu pursed her lips and wanted to say something else, a gloomy, cold male voice rang out behind her, “Can you get out of the way, you’re blocking the way.”
This voice was ……
Rong Shu’s eyes widened as she twisted her head to look backwards and saw Fu Jingting and a*sistant Zhang standing not far away, looking at them expressionlessly.
Sure enough, it was Fu Jingting.
Why was he here?
Hadn’t he not been discharged from the hospital yet?
This question was quickly asked by Cheng Huai, who looked at Fu Jingting with a smile, “Jingting, good evening, what a coincidence that you are also here for dinner? But aren’t you in the hospital, why have you suddenly come out?”
Fu Jingting didn’t say anything, his dark gaze fell on Rong Shu’s shoulder.
Rong Shu noticed it and subconsciously used her strength to shake Cheng Huai’s hand off her shoulder, while also taking his jacket off his shoulder and throwing it back into his arms, looking at Fu Jingting and speaking, “That …… this jacket is ……”
“Rongshu, you have nothing to do with him again, so what’s the point of explaining all this?” Cheng Huai slightly narrowed his eyes and looked at Rong Shu, as if he wanted to see something from her face.
When Rongshu heard him say this, she first froze, then reacted with a somewhat unsightly expression.
Yes, it wasn’t like she had anything to do with Fu Jingting, so whatever she did, it had nothing to do with him.
Then what was she doing explaining to him about the jacket on her body?
Was she crazy?
Thinking of this, Rongshu lowered her eyes and didn’t say anything.
At that moment, Fu Jingting finally spoke, his voice cold and indifferent, “You guys continue.”
After saying that, he lifted his feet and walked towards the Maybach on the roadside.
a*sistant Zhang nodded to both Rong Shu and Cheng Huai and also followed.
This time, Cheng Huai was a little confused.
What was going on?
When Jingting saw him and Rong Shu walking so close, not only did he not stop them, but he even let them continue!
Is this …… still Fu Jingting?
On top of that, just now Jing Ting didn’t look angry and jealous when he saw his jacket draped over Rong Shu.
So what the hell is going on here? What had Fu Jingting been irritated by?
Cheng Huai looked at Fu Jingting’s back with an unspeakable shock in his eyes.
And when Rong Shu saw Fu Jingting leaving, her heart tightened and she lifted her feet to chase after him, “Wait a minute.”
Fu Jingting had already gotten into his car, and when he heard her voice, he paused in closing the door.
Rongshu trotted to the door of his car, took two slight breaths, then looked at him and spoke, “That ……”
“What do you want to say?” Fu Jingting asked as he lightly opened his thin lips.
Rongshu bit her lower lip.
Actually, she didn’t know what she wanted to say.
She just saw him leave and subconsciously chased after him.
Even she herself didn’t know why she had done so.
There was even a little bit of anger in her heart, anger that he had just seen her and Cheng Huai standing together and hadn’t even reacted.
“If you don’t say anything, I’m going back to the hospital.” Fu Jingting put his hand on the car door handle and spoke again.
Rongshu’s eyes flickered as she withdrew her thoughts, “I said, I just wanted to ask you, how come you’re out now when it’s not even time to leave the hospital?”
“An elder who was close to my father before he was born asked me out to talk about a collaboration, so I took three hours off from the hospital.” Fu Jingting looked at her and returned indifferently, then asked, “Is there anything else to say, if not, I’m closing.”
“No…… nothing more.” Rongshu shook her head.
There was indeed nothing more to say.
She had come after him and didn’t know what to say, and the words she had just said were the only thing she had come up with, racking her brain.
Fu Jingting gave a hint and closed the car door, “Drive.”
“Yes.” a*sistant Zhang answered and started the car.
Watching the Maybach drive out and gradually introduce itself into the other traffic, Rong Shu’s hands on either side of her slowly clenched, her heart inexpressibly messy and clogged.
Cheng Huai, who hadn’t come over, also came over at this moment, his jacket still on his arm, “Do you still want your jacket?”
Rongshu shook her head, “No.”
“I guess you won’t want it either.” Cheng Huai smiled inexplicably, but the smile was bleak.
He could tell that she was starting to care about Fu Jingting.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have subconsciously thrown his jacket at him when she saw Fu Jingting and pulled away from him, not wanting to get involved with him in any way that would make Fu Jingting misunderstand.
She had loved Fu Jingting before, so it was not impossible for her to fall in love again, and the chances were even very high.
I’m afraid that the cliff fall this time has struck a new chord within her.
After all, a person who would risk his life for her is very rare. If such a person is not loved, who else is worth loving?
It seemed that the bet he had made with her was going to be won.
But he couldn’t be happy at all.
But there was one thing he should be happy about, and that was the way Fu Jingting treated Rong Shu tonight.
Thinking about this, Cheng Huai put on his jacket and asked tentatively, “Rongshu, between you and Jingting, is there some kind of conflict?”
