More than that, the mood around her was low, as if she had been through something that had left her in a gloomy mood and unable to lift her spirits.
“What’s wrong?” Fu Jingting sat down beside Rong Shu, grabbed her shoulders with both hands and shook her gently, “Did something happen?”
Only when Rongshu was shaken by the man like this did she finally slow down from her wandering.
Her eyes flickered for a moment, and her dull pupils finally regained their brightness.
“You’re back?” She asked as she looked at the man, a smile slowly lifting up on her face.
Fu Jingting gave a hint, “I’m back, what are you doing sitting here so late without going to bed? And not turning on the light? Is there something going on?”
The man asked several questions in a row, causing Rong Shu to shake her head and sigh, “Nothing has happened.”
However Fu Jingting obviously didn’t believe him, his thin lips pursed slightly, “Nothing happened, you would be like this?”
“”Rong Shu didn’t speak anymore.
She knew that it was impossible to hide from this man.
“Say it, what’s wrong?” Fu Jingting stroked her hair, his voice concerned, “Don’t hide it from me, you know, I’ll worry.”
Rongshu’s heart warmed, her straight back finally stopped, unloading her strength and bending down, leaning her head sideways on Fu Jingting’s shoulder, “An hour or so ago, I met Gu Yaotian and his wife.”
The movement of Fu Jingting stroking her hair paused for a moment, “Gu Yaotian couple? ”
“Mm.”
“Where did you meet them?”
“I came back from seeing my dad and went to a nearby dim sum shop to buy some food, and while I was waiting for it to be packed, the Gu Yaotian couple appeared.” Rongshu said.
Fu Jingting wrinkled his brows tightly, “Did they bully you?”
“No.” Rongshu shook her head, “Just the usual verbal arguments, but”
“But what?” Fu Jingting’s heart immediately tightened.
She even grabbed my hand and asked me how I got this scar, and if there was anything else on my wrist before the scar appeared.
Before she could finish her sentence, Fu Jingting’s face changed slightly.
His hand on her waist tightened with a jerk, the knot in his throat moved, and his voice was laced with gravity as he asked “You told her?”
“Hm?” Rongshu glanced up at him, “What?”
“I mean, did you tell her how the scar came to be? And that there was something on her wrist before this scar appeared?” Fu Jingting lowered his eyes and said in a tone that was clearly a little off.
Rong Shu shook her head, “No, I didn’t know what Mrs. Gu’s purpose was in asking this, let alone if there was some sort of trap, so naturally I couldn’t have told her, I just pulled a random excuse and glossed over it.”
Fu Jingting stared at her for a moment, and only after he could see that she was not lying, did he breathe a faint sigh of relief, and his raised heart, too, fell back slightly into place.
“That’s good.” Fu Jingting said as he tightened his arm around Rong Shu’s waist.
Rong Shu narrowed her eyes, “Why do I feel that you seem to be very nervous, are you afraid that I will tell Mrs. Gu about this?”
She looked at him.
Fu Jingting’s eyes flickered for a moment, but he quickly returned to his normal self, his face was calm and easy, he couldn’t see any difference and said, “No, you just said that you didn’t tell Madam Gu about this because you were afraid that Madam Gu had some kind of plot, the same goes for me, so I don’t want you to be so foolish as to just give everything away, in case Madam Gu really has some kind of plot, I won’t be able to help you if I’m not by your side. can’t even help you.”
With that, he poked her forehead.
Rongshu also dispelled the suspicion in her heart because of this move of his and rubbed her forehead back, “Who’s stupid, I’m smart, the Gu family and I are mortal enemies, of course I can’t just answer whatever they ask, so if you say I’m stupid again, I’ll get angry!”
She pretended to glare at her with an exasperated look.
Fu Jingting laughed lightly and lowered his head to give her a peck on her slightly puffed red lips before saying “Okay, you’re not stupid, you’re smart.”
“Of course!” Rongshu lifted her chin a little proudly.
But soon, her expression narrowed down again, turning a bit complicated.
Fu Jingting saw that her mood had almost changed for the better, but this time she was back to her initial low mood, and the frown that had easily followed her had now wrinkled up.
He reached out and gently cupped her chin and lifted her head, making her look at him, “What’s wrong again?”
Rongshu slapped his hand down from her chin saying, “It’s nothing really, it’s just that I found that I have a special feeling for Madam Gu and Gu Yaotian.”
Fu Jingting’s expression changed slightly, but his tone did not move, “What special feeling?”
Rongshu rubbed her brow, “It’s that I have a special kind of care for them. In the past, I only had endless hatred for them, and I was happy to see them down, but after the last chance encounter with Mrs. Gu in the hospital, I found that there was a subtle change between me and the Gu family couple, I would actually be in their mood, and my own emotions and mood, would actually follow their changes, Fu Jingting, do you think I’m crazy?”
Fu Jingting slightly lowered his head and put his chin on the top of her head and gently rubbed it, “You’re not crazy, you just empathise too easily.”
“Empathise?” Rongshu frowned.
Fu Jingting’s eyes twinkled as he gave a hmmm, “Yes, you’ve always had a soft heart, plus with Gu Yaotian being sick, the Gu family became somewhat pitiful, that’s why when you saw them, you started to be affected by them, because you’re too kind, you couldn’t do that kind of thing of falling on your sword and gloating.”
When he said that, Rong Shu seemed to think it made sense.
But still, she confirmed it uneasily, “Really?”
She lifted her eyes to look at him.
Faced with her clear eyes, Fu Jingting’s heart faltered for a moment and he slightly inclined his head, shifting his gaze elsewhere, not meeting her gaze.
“Really.” He coughed, his voice a little hoarse as he returned.
It was actually false.
She would feel different emotions towards the Gu Yao Tian couple, would be affected by them in her mood because blood was at work.
Even if they didn’t know each other as relatives now, even if they both contained hatred towards each other now.
But blood is the most magical bond in this world.
It tied her and Gu Yaotian together as a couple, influencing each other’s atmosphere, making them feel something else for each other, in the dark.
This is the bond of blood, something that no one can control and cut off.
But he couldn’t tell her, he could only lie to her that she was too soft-hearted to do so.
There was nothing he could do about it, and he was doing it for her own good.
In the past, Rong Shu hadn’t been affected so deeply by blood ties, but he hadn’t expected it to be so deep now.
It seemed that something had to be done, otherwise things would become very bad in the long run.
In the future, stay away from Gu Yaotian and his wife. With your soft heart, I’m afraid you’ll be so influenced by them that you won’t be able to take revenge in the future.”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
“Just in case.” Fu Jingting didn’t laugh with her, his expression still serious.
Seeing him like this, Rong Shu couldn’t be careless anymore and nodded seriously, “Alright, alright, I know, you’re right, it’s true that my whole person has become very strange in these two meetings, I have the feeling that I’m being led by their noses, it’s not even like me anymore, I really should stay away from them.”
