Chapter 619
Rongshu looked at Fu Jingting and seemed to have some hesitation.
But when she saw the faint dark circles under Fu Jingting’s eyelids, she shook her head, “No, just in the car, let’s wait until he wakes up from his nap.”
He should be very tired lately, with dark circles under his eyes.
It was better not to wake him up, getting him up together, he would definitely wake up midway.
So, it was better to let him just sleep for a while.
When Secretary Tong saw what Rong Shu said, she stopped persuading.
Rong Shu raised her wrist and looked at her watch, “It’s getting late, why don’t you just go back first and take my car.”
She handed her bag over.
For the past two days, it was Fu Jingting who was picking her up and dropping her off, and her car had been parked in this garage without moving.
Now it was just right for Secretary Tong to drive.
Secretary Tong didn’t refuse, and after taking Rong Shu’s bag, she rummaged for the keys.
After finding the keys, she handed the bag back to Rong Shu, “Mr. Rong, I’ll leave first then.”
Rong Shu first gave a hmph, then finally thought of something else and called out to her, “Wait a minute.”
“What else does the chairman want?” Secretary Tong withdrew her hand from opening the door.
Rong Shu pursed her red lips and said, “Over at the hospital, send someone to keep Rong Yuan under guard, and don’t let her leave the hospital for half a step in the next few days.”
After Rong Yuan’s eggs had been removed, she would definitely have to stay in the hospital for a few days.
During these few days, Rong Yuan absolutely must not be allowed to run around.
It would be troublesome if she went out and went crazy and did something.
Secretary Tong also knew what Rong Shu was worried about and nodded with a serious expression, “Don’t worry, General Manager Rong, I’ll make the arrangements.”
“That’s good, go on, drive slowly on the way.” Rong Shu smiled a little.
Secretary Tong pushed his gla*ses, “Okay, then I’ll go first Chairman.”
Rong Shu nodded slightly.
Secretary Tong opened the door and got out, leaving.
Rong Shu then sat in the car, waiting for Fu Jingting to wake up from his nap.
This wait was two hours, the sky was already all completely dark, the time was 8pm, almost 9pm.
Fu Jingting opened his eyes and with a glance, he could see that he was still in the car.
Rongshu felt the rhythm of the man’s breathing on her shoulder change, no longer as steady as when she was asleep, and twisted her head to look, “Awake?”
“Yeah.” Seeing that he was still leaning on her shoulder, Fu Jingting immediately lifted his head up and sat up straight.
As soon as his head left, Rong Shu instantly felt her entire body relax, and her body could move without having to continue to hold a position.
The shoulder, however, was sore.
“What time is it?” Fu Jingting asked as he rubbed his temples.
There were small hazy lights on inside the car, while outside the car, it was pitch black.
Thinking that it should be dark outside.
“Forty past eight.” Rongshu said as she pointed at her watch.
A trace of surprise flashed in Fu Jingting’s eyes, “It’s so late?”
“Mm.” Rong Shu nodded her head.
Fu Jingting pursed his thin lips.
Although he didn’t know exactly when he had fallen asleep, he remembered that when he had fallen asleep, it hadn’t been completely dark.
In other words, at that time, it was almost six o’clock.
He had slept for at least two hours!
“You kept letting me lean on your shoulder?” Fu Jingting looked at Rong Shu.
Rongshu squeezed her shoulder, which was a little sore, “Yes.”
Fu Jingting asked again, “Why didn’t you wake me up?”
Rongshu put her hand down, “I was too lazy to wake you up.”
Fu Jingting looked at her, how could he not know that what she said was a lie?
It wasn’t that she was too lazy to wake him up, but that she didn’t want to wake him up at all and wanted him to sleep.
Fu Jingting let out a light sigh, then reached out, giving her a squeeze on her shoulders, “Don’t do that in the future, aren’t you tired?”
“Fine.” Rongshu lowered her eyes and smiled, then took his hand, off her shoulder, “Okay, let’s get off first, the car is almost out of gas.”
After playing the heater for so long continuously, the fuel consumption was very high.
Fu Jingting swept a glance at the fuel dial in front of him and said indifferently, “It’s okay, just add more.”
He had money.
Rongshu couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “I mean, I don’t want to stay in the car anymore, and, aren’t you hungry?”
Fu Jingting’s brow furrowed a little.
Well, he was indeed a little hungry.
The two of them opened the door and got out of the car.
Only after they got down did Fu Jingting recognise that this was the car park at Repulse Bay.
Thinking about the fact that it was so late and the car was out of gas.
Then he should be able to stay tonight, right?
Thinking about it, the corners of Fu Jingting’s mouth lifted, and the joy around him was not hidden in the slightest.
Rongshu looked at him suspiciously, not understanding what he was relishing, but didn’t ask much and led him towards the lift.
When they arrived at the flat.
Rongshu put her bag down and went to her room first to change her clothes.
When she came out, she was still carrying a bag in her hand.
She tossed that bag over to Fu Jingting, “You go take a shower first and change your clothes.”
He was only wearing a thin suit, and the coat outside, had long been drenched by the rain.
Although it was dried in the car at the back, the clothes had also changed shape and could not be worn.
Fu Jingting took the bag that Rong Shu threw at him, opened it and a flash of surprise surfaced on his face.
He hurriedly turned his head to look at Rong Shu, “These clothes, did you buy them specifically for me?”
In this bag, there was not only a set of formal clothes, but also a set of pajamas.
And it also happened to be his size.
So, these clothes, obviously, were specially prepared for him by her.
Rongshu averted her gaze, “Less, don’t care if it’s for you, hurry up and take a shower and change.”
She waved her hand, urging.
But Fu Jingting could just tell that her face was reddening at the moment.
Obviously, she had already admitted that these two sets of clothes were indeed bought by her specifically for him.
Not only that, they had also been washed in water.
Fu Jingting hugged the bag as if he was holding some rare treasure, looking at Rong Shu, his voice gentle as he spoke, “Rong Shu, thank you, I like it very much.”
Rongshu coughed, “Alright, I’m going to the kitchen to make dinner.”
After saying that, she lowered her head and quickly walked towards the kitchen.
These two sets of clothes were the ones she had specially gone to the mall the other day and bought for him.
That day, after Fu Jingting gave her the crystal ball, she stayed overnight at her place and didn’t have any suitable clothes, then the next day, she ran to the mall on a whim and picked out these two sets of clothes.
What was she thinking at that time when she bought the clothes.
She probably thought that he would come in handy later.
It turned out that they would come in handy so soon.
Looking at Rong Shu’s embarra*sed back, Fu Jingting laughed lowly twice, then carried the bag and went to the bathroom.
Ten minutes later, he came out, not wearing the formal clothes in the bag, but only his pajamas.
Since she didn’t bring him the formal clothes alone, but gave them to him together with the pajamas, then one would think that it would be okay for him to wear only the pajamas.
Moreover, he could also hazard a guess that she should have wanted to keep him too.
Otherwise, why didn’t she just give him the formal clothes?
Fu Jingting rubbed his hair and walked to the sofa to sit down.
Rongshu came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl.
Seeing the pajamas on Fu Jingting, her eyes flashed, and without saying anything, she walked straight towards him and handed the bowl to him, “Drink this.”
Fu Jingting put the towel around his neck and looked into the bowl, the dark soup, and the familiar smell emanating from the soup, instantly made him understand what it was.
Ginger soup!
“Thanks.” Fu Jingting took the ginger soup and took a sip, then looked at her and asked, “Did you drink it?”
“I drank it.” Rongshu nodded her head.
When Fu Jingting heard that she had drunk it, he nodded rea*suringly, then tilted his head before he finished the remaining ginger soup in the bowl.
When he had finished drinking, Rong Shu brought the bowl over, “What do you want to eat tonight?”
What do you want to eat?
That was a bit difficult for him.
There were many things he wanted to eat, but he didn’t know if she had enough ingredients here.
After thinking about it, Fu Jingting lightly opened his thin lips and replied, “All of them are fine, as long as they are made by you, I like them all.”
Chapter 620
Rongshu nodded, “Then how about I just make a few homemade dishes?”
“Okay, I’ll help.” Fu Jingting stood up.
Rongshu looked at him with a suspicious expression, “You’re helping?”
“What’s wrong with that?” Fu Jingting asked rhetorically.
Rongshu touched the bowl in her hand, “You’ve never been in the kitchen before, are you sure you can do it?”
It wasn’t that she looked down on him.
Rather, he had been living a pampered life since he was born and had never done anything trivial.
His hands, too, were not for holding kitchen knives, but for holding pens.
So, she really didn’t believe that he could help with anything.
What’s more, even she hadn’t done any housework since she was a child, and the reason she knew how to cook was that she had been forced to do so by Wang Shuqin during the six years she had been married.
Before she got married, she didn’t know how to do it either.
Fu Jingting listened to Rong Shu’s questioning words, his handsome face slackened, “I can.”
Men, absolutely cannot say no.
Furthermore, when he was in the kimchi country before, he had learnt to cook sober soup on the internet, so he was also considered to be in the kitchen.
So helping out, there shouldn’t be any problem …… , right?
Fu Jingting thought so in his heart.
When the Rong family saw that he sounded so serious in saying that he could, they no longer doubted that he couldn’t.
After all, he even dared to say so, so I guess, he should be somewhat capable, right?
And he could do a lot of things, and he did other things well too, so going to the kitchen to help out would indeed be no problem.
Thinking about this, Rongshu pointed in the direction of the kitchen, “Since you want to help out, then come on.”
After saying that, she walked towards the kitchen.
Fu Jingting followed behind her.
When she arrived at the kitchen, Rongshu took out the dishes she would be cooking later from the fridge.
She put the melons and fruits directly into the sink, but she only put a portion of hollowed-out vegetables into a small pot and handed it to Fu Jingting.
Fu Jingting took it with a bewildered look, “This ……”
“Take it off.” Rongshu pointed to the small pot, “After you pick it, just put it in the pot.”
“Okay ……” Fu Jingting took the basin and looked at the hollow cabbage in the basin again, his whole face was dumbfounded.
How can this vegetable be picked?
Hasn’t this vegetable already been picked?
How else was it to be picked?
Fu Jingting stood there with the basin in his hand, his eyes wide open, completely unsure of what to do.
Seeing that he was not moving, Rongshu asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I’ll go outside and pick.” Fu Jingting lowered his eyes and said back.
He absolutely could not say that he would not pick this dish at all.
He had just boasted that he would definitely be able to help, only to have the first task she gave him and he wouldn’t, disgraceful not to mention that she might even feel disappointed in him.
So he might as well go out and quietly search the internet on how to get it.
When Rongshu heard Fu Jingting’s words, she didn’t suspect that he was looking for an excuse to go out and didn’t want her to know that he didn’t know how to pick vegetables.
Thinking that this kitchen wasn’t very big, and that two people standing in it would indeed be a bit crowded, she nodded and agreed, “Go ahead, there’s a bin outside, just throw the unwanted parts into the bin.”
“Mhm.” Fu Jingting responded and went out with the basin in his hand.
When he came to the living room, Fu Jingting walked to the dining table and sat down, put the basin in his hand on the table, then fished out his mobile phone from the pocket of his pyjamas and unlocked it, took a picture of the hollow vegetable in the basin, then used this picture to search.
Soon, all the information about this dish in the basin popped up.
After reading the introduction of this dish, Fu Jingting finally understood what Rong Shu meant by picking it in her mouth.
He smiled a little, turned off his mobile phone and put it down, and started picking the vegetable.
Ten minutes later, Fu Jingting looked at his masterpiece in the pot and curled his lips.
It didn’t look too bad, Rongshu would be satisfied, right?
Fu Jingting got up, picked up the basin and walked towards the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Rong Shu was chopping vegetables, her movements were sharp and beautiful, and within seconds, a courgette was cut into neat slices of similar size.
Hearing footsteps, Rongshu put down the knife in her hand and turned around to see Fu Jingting coming in with the pot, smiling and asking, “Finished?”
“Yes.” Fu Jingting nodded his head.
“That was quick.”
“See how it is?” Fu Jingting handed the basin over, his tone revealing an imperceptible nervousness and anticipation.
Although he felt that he had picked it well, Rongshu would not necessarily feel good about it.
So there was definitely some nervousness.
At the same time, he also hoped that Rongshu would think he had done a good job, so that she might even praise him a little.
“Let me see.” Rongshu took the small pot, grabbed the picked hollow cabbage in the pot with her hands, and her pretty eyebrows twitched twice, “Not bad, it’s picked quite well.”
She looked at him in surprise.
The old stalks were almost non-existent and the lengths were all quite uniform.
It was evident that he had really put his heart and soul into picking the vegetables.
Hearing Rong Shu’s approval, Fu Jingting’s lifted heart finally dropped, and the curve of his mouth deepened, his face even faintly proud, “It’s fine, I just played normally.”
The corners of Rongshu’s mouth twitched, “You’re really not polite.”
Fu Jingting let out a low laugh, “Is there anything else I can do for you?”
Rong Shu poured the hollowed out vegetables into the sink, turned on the tap and prepared to wash them, while washing them, she nudged towards the cupboard next to her, “Take out the dishes inside and put them in the disinfection cabinet.”
“Disinfect it, right, good.” Fu Jingting’s nodded his head and walked over to open the cupboard.
There were many delicate dishes in the cupboard, and Fu Jingting didn’t know which ones to take for a while.
After thinking about it, he finally decided to take a random set.
Fu Jingting reached out his hand and picked up the bowl nearest to him.
As a result, just as he took the bowl out of the cupboard, the bowl slipped straight out of his hand and then fell to the ground as he watched in dismay.
There was a snap.
The bowl fell heavily onto the floor with a crisp sound, breaking into several pieces.
Hearing this sound, Rongshu knew what had happened and hurriedly turned around, looking down at the bowl on the ground and asking in surprise, “Why did this bowl break?”
Fu Jingting pursed his red lips apologetically, “Sorry, the bowl was too slippery, I had one hand and didn’t hold it, so it just fell.”
He also didn’t expect that he would just hold a bowl and actually drop it.
He even wondered if he was too useless.
“So that’s how it is.” Rongshu nodded, indicating that she knew, then looked at Fu Jingting and asked with concern, “Then you weren’t hurt, were you?”
“No.” Fu Jingting shook his head, then looked at her, his thin lips twitching, “Rongshu, aren’t you angry?”
Rongshu tilted her head, “Why are you angry?”
“I dropped the bowl.” Fu Jingting pointed at the shards on the floor.
Rongshu smiled, “It’s just a bowl, it’s not a valuable thing, so if you dropped it, then you dropped it. Besides, it’s also my fault for not thinking carefully, I didn’t think that your left hand was still healing, and it’s not convenient for you to do things with one hand.
“I’ll do it.” Fu Jingting took the initiative to take over the job.
In his opinion, it was his to break, and he should be the one to clean it up.
However, Rongshu waved her hand, “It’s not convenient for you to hold the broom with one hand, it’s better for me to do it, I’ll be done in no time.”
With those words, she took the broom behind the door and began to clean the debris.
Fu Jingting stood there, looking down at his dangling left arm and sighed helplessly.
He didn’t know when this arm would heal.
He was really looking forward to it healing immediately, at least so he could help out with something and not feel like an invalid.
