“I’m not going back, I’ll stay here with you.” Fu Jingting said, walking to the sofa and sitting down by himself.
Seeing him like this, Rongshu had no intention of kicking him out and returned behind her own desk, “That’s fine, as long as you’re not too bored.”
“Am I that indolent?” Fu Jingting poured himself a cup of tea and said with a light laugh.
Rongshu also laughed a little and ignored him, taking out her mobile phone and making a call out.
Fu Jingting saw her put the phone to her ear, rubbed the edge of her teacup and asked, “Who are you calling?”
“Ah Qi.” The call hadn’t been answered and Rong Shu had the spare time to answer him.
Fu Jingting frowned at once, “Lu Qi?”
“Mm.”
“What are you doing calling him?” He sounded a little sour.
Although he knew that Lu Qi had let go, he still had feelings for her in his heart.
Just based on that, he had a problem with Lu Qi as a person.
Of course, Rongshu knew why Fu Jingting had turned pale and shook her head helplessly, “Of course I’m thanking him, Rong Yuan was the first one to speak on the internet to help me clarify the rumours about me, and so was Cheng Huai, so I’ll have to thank Cheng Huai later too, so don’t be blindly jealous, you.”
Fu Jingting hummed and didn’t say anything.
Well, seeing as these two people were doing it for her, he would be generous and leave it at that.
Although he thought so in his heart, he kept his gaze fixed on Rong Shu, and his ears were quietly pricked up, afraid that the two would say something they shouldn’t.
Rongshu naturally felt that the man had been looking this way, and also understood why the man was looking, and shook her head somewhat amused.
Lu Qi on the other end of the phone heard her laugh and a big question mark popped up on his head, “Shushu, what are you laughing at?”
They didn’t seem to be saying anything funny, did they?
Rongshu waved her hand, “Nothing, I just saw a childish person and couldn’t help but laugh a little.”
“A childish person?” The question mark on Lu Qi’s head got bigger, “Who?”
“It doesn’t matter.” Rongshu had no intention of telling him she was talking about Fu Jingting.
Lu Qi heard her reluctance to say, shrugged his shoulders and didn’t ask.
On the opposite sofa, Fu Jingting did react to the fact that the childish person Rongshu was talking about was herself, and he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
In her eyes, was he childish?
“That’s right Shushu.” Just as Rong Shu spoke to Lu Qi a few more times and was about to hang up and call Cheng Huai, Lu Qi suddenly thought of something and called out to her in a slightly serious tone.
Rongshu put the phone back to her ear, and her expression followed suit, “What’s wrong A Qi?”
“The hospital over in Nanjiang just called me, the one where your parents’ biological daughter was born.”
“Well, and then?” Rongshu nodded her head.
Lu Qi narrowed his eyes, “Then the hospital side told me that just now Gu Yaotian sent someone there to inquire about the birth of his aunt’s child twenty-six years ago.”
“What?” Rongshu’s expression sank, “What is Gu Yaotian doing inquiring about this?”
On the sofa, when Fu Jingting heard her words, he gave a slight pause as he drank his tea, then got up and walked over towards her, “What’s wrong?”
Rongshu shook her head at him, not answering him, but waiting for Lu Qi’s answer on the other end of the phone.
Lu Qi also shook his head, “I don’t know, the hospital side said that Gu Yaotian’s people just asked about the basic situation of auntie’s childbirth and left, so it was impossible to see what the purpose was.”
“I see.” Rongshu bit her lip.
Lu Qi added “All in all, I think it must not be that simple, Gu Yaotian must have some kind of conspiracy, otherwise why would he be asking about this for a good reason, Shu Shu, you have to be careful.”
“I will.” Rongshu squeezed the corners of her mouth and responded, “Thank you for the reminder.”
Lu Qi waved his hand, “That’s nothing, we’re friends, if there’s anything you need, just call me, I’ll help out if I can.”
When Rongshu was about to answer, the man who had been bending over to her phone to eavesdrop was the first to speak up with a sullen face, “No need, she has me, and what’s more, what use can your little skills be?”
The corners of Rongshu’s mouth twitched and she glared at the man, “What are you doing?”
“The truth.” Fu Jingting hooked his lips and said back.
Lu Qi at the other end of the electric ring heard Fu Jingting’s words and first froze for a moment, after reacting, she instantly stood up from her chair in anger, “Fu Jingting, you’re actually over there!”
“What’s the problem?” Fu Jingting put one hand on Rong Shu’s shoulder and propped one hand on the back of the chair behind her, looking as if he was holding her from behind, his tone as smug as it could be, “I’m her lover, if I’m not here, who can be here? You?”
“You ……” Lu Qi stomped her foot in anger, “Fu Jingting what are you so proud of, when I met Shushu, you didn’t know where you were yet.”
It’s still nothing!”
“……” Lu Qi’s forehead was black, and he was speechless.
Rongshu sat in her chair, holding her forehead speechlessly.
These two men, who were sixty years old combined and were still the talking heads of their respective groups, were actually arguing like schoolboys.
And the content of the argument was not at all level.
It made people cry and laugh.
Fu Jingting didn’t know that he had been branded as childish by Rong Shu once again, but he was now gloating over the fact that he had won the argument.
How could he not?
That was a love rival!
Of course you’re happy when you’ve won a love rival!
“Alright, we have to be busy next, we don’t have time to spend with you here, hanging up now.” Fu Jingting rubbed his brow and said in a condescending tone to Lu Qi on the other end of the phone.
Lu Qi looked stunned, then gripped the phone tightly and hurriedly asked, “Wait a minute Fu Jingting, what are you and Shushu busy with? I’m warning you, you are not allowed to mess around with Shushu, do you hear me, do you hear me, Fu Jingting!”
Fu Jingting didn’t need to think much to know how anxious the person on the other end of the phone was at the moment, so anxious that he was probably jumping to his feet.
“What do you care what Xiao Yezi and I are going to do next? I’m telling you Lu Qi, whatever we’re going to do, it’s between the two of us, what qualifications do you have to interfere?” Fu Jingting snorted coldly and took the mobile phone from Rong Shu’s hand, saying in a clear, cold and indifferent voice.
Lu Qi’s eyes were about to glare out, “Little Yezi? You actually called her Little Yezi?”
“And then what?” Fu Jingting stroked Rong Shu’s long, silky hair and asked back in disbelief.
Lu Qi clenched his fist, “And then what then, this is Shushu’s parents, exclusive nickname for Shushu, who are you to shout it?”
“I’m sorry to tell you that I do, and that it was allowed by Little Yezi herself.” The curvature of Fu Jingting’s lips grew thicker and thicker.
Lu Qi froze, “What? Personally allowed?”
Not only had she even told Fu Jingting her nickname, she had even allowed Fu Jingting to call her that?
“That’s right!” Fu Jingting lifted a strand of Rong Shu’s hair and kissed it intimately.
Lu Qi was silent again.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t fought for it in the past, wanting to call her Little Yezi, but she had refused, saying that was something only her parents could shout, so that was why he had called her Baby instead.
Later, he had thought that, after her aunt and uncle died, she would seal away the little name.
But to his surprise, after six years of being sealed away, she allowed Fu Jingting to call her that.
Surely, this is the difference between love and non-love, right?
