But he was curious, but only occasionally, and he wanted to meet her only occasionally.
It was because of the occasional and the accidental that he put off seeing her for six years, because from the beginning, in his heart, he thought that it did not really matter whether he saw her or not, because in his case, she was just a woman who made her a little curious, not the kind that he particularly cared about.
So he felt that it was not really that important to see her or not.
And as a result, he missed out on the most likely possibility of impressing her heart and being with her.
He regretted it, he really did.
If at the beginning, he had taken that little time and found a chance to meet her, wouldn’t it really be different today?
Thinking of this, Cheng Huai suddenly let out a strange cry, then his body leaned back, his hands tightly covering his face, his whole body filled with remorse.
Such a Cheng Huai not only startled Rong Shu, but also startled the other customers in the café, who looked over.
Rongshu was a bit uncomfortable being watched by so many people, so she smiled at them, then coughed twice and lowered her voice and said, “Cheng Huai, what are you doing?”
Cheng Huai gave her a smile that was worse than crying and waved his hand helplessly, saying “Nothing, I’m just paying tribute to my dead chance and trying to beat myself to death.”
“Huh?” Rongshu looked confused, obviously not understanding what he meant.
Cheng Huai shook his head, “It’s nothing, just pick up the phone.”
“Oh.” Seeing that he wasn’t willing to elaborate, Rong Shu didn’t push, and after nodding, she put the phone to her ear, not paying attention to him anymore.
“Hello.” Rong Shu’s eyebrows softened down, putting all her attention on the phone.
On the other end of the phone, hearing Rong Shu’s voice, Fu Jingting’s tightly knitted brows finally stretched out, “What took you so long to answer? Has the trial not finished yet?”
“It’s over.” Rong Shu replied, “I was just talking to Cheng Huai.”
She raised her eyes to look at Cheng Huai.
Cheng Huai smiled at her and raised his coffee in gesture.
On the other end of the phone, hearing the name Cheng Huai, Fu Jingting instantly stood up from his office chair, his thin lips pursed tightly, “Cheng Huai?”
“Yes.” Rongshu nodded her head.
Fu Jingting’s brows tightened once again, “He’s at your place?”
“Mm.” Rongshu nodded, “There were some things I had to talk to him about, so I met up.”
“What was it that you had to meet to talk about?” Fu Jingting’s voice was lowered as he gripped the phone tightly.
Cheng Huai had feelings for her, and although he said that he had given up, his feelings were not something that could just be scattered.
What if he saw her and didn’t want to give up again?
In short, Cheng Huai is a time bomb.
Although he thought to himself that Cheng Huai could not steal her away from him, the existence of Cheng Huai, his love rival, made him diaphragmatic.
After all, with someone who is eyeing his lover, he is not only blocked in his heart, but also has a sense of crisis. He doesn’t even dare to take a wrong step, for fear that if he is caught in the act, these rivals will take this opportunity to steal Rongshu away.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He could not wait to put down the work at hand and run over to Cheng Huai and kick him away to his heart.
Of course, he also knew that this was unlikely.
So he could only sulk.
Rongshu heard the sourness in the man’s tone and shook her head with a lost smile.
Come on, the jealousy was strong.
She knew he would definitely be like this when he heard he was meeting with Cheng Huai.
So, she wasn’t going to tell him that Cheng Huai had also accompanied her to the court hearing, otherwise with his jealousy, he might have been so angry that he would have run straight over.
“To talk about some business, you also know that Cheng Huai and I have a collaboration, sharing a lease to deal with the Gu family together, so talk about whether there are any plans next.” Rong Shu’s eyes flashed back.
When Cheng Huai, who had gradually calmed down from his coffee, heard her words, he stopped his coffee cup in his hand and looked at her, obviously not understanding why she was lying.
Rongshu shook her head at him and did not say anything.
On the phone, hearing Rong Shu say that she and Cheng Huai were just talking about business, his tense face finally got a lot better.
He had thought that it was Cheng Huai who had called her out and was ready to confess his love for her.
The background is not without the kind of person who knows that the other party has a family and still wants to confess his feelings to the other party, somehow, so that the other party knows his feelings, so that it is not a waste of love, not to mention how disgusting it is.
Fortunately, fortunately, it is not what he thought, otherwise he got Cheng Huai to death.
Fu Jingting believed in Rong Shu’s words without reservation, nodding slightly and mmming, “Then go back early after the talk, don’t stay with him for too long, he’s not a good person.”
Rong Shu was still feeling guilty for believing him, but his next words instantly made him cry and laugh.
Come on, these two really deserved to be friends since childhood.
One said to her face that the other one had a temperamental and unpredictable personality.
The other was even more direct, saying outright that the other was not a good person.
She was still angry at Cheng Huai for saying bad things about Fu Jingting before, but now she realised that these two people, were simply constantly undermining each other and saying bad things about each other.
Thinking about this, Rong Shu raised her head and looked at Cheng Huai in an amused manner, “Okay, I know, I’ll go back after we finish talking about things.”
Cheng Huai pointed to his nose, then spread his hands again.
The meaning was obvious, he guessed that Fu Jingting might have mentioned him.
Rongshu nodded gently, sort of confirming his guess.
He instantly rolled his eyes, guessing that Fu Jingting must not have said anything good about him.
On the phone, hearing Rong Shu’s reply, Fu Jingting’s mood finally improved, but he was still more or less uncomfortable in his heart.
Of course, he was not uncomfortable with her meeting with Cheng Huai, but he was uncomfortable with her cooperating with Cheng Huai against the Gu family.
She knew that she had chosen to cooperate so that she could better avenge herself.
But what made him uncomfortable was that she did not choose to let him help her, preferring to work with Cheng Huai rather than seek him out.
Obviously, with his ability, it was easy to deal with the Gu family, but she refused to do so, and had even made it clear that she did not want him to help secretly, or she would not forgive him.
He actually knew that she was doing this for him, but in his heart, he still cared a little bit after all, always feeling that she would rather trust others, rather choose to rely on others, than choose him.
Rubbing his brow, Fu Jingting hurriedly pressed down the rest of his thoughts and did not allow himself to think about it any further.
He knew that if he continued to think about it, his thoughts would become more and more paranoid, and he would end up thinking that she was not looking for him because she simply felt that he could not be trusted and did not want to bother him.
That would not do, and thinking about feelings in a frenzied manner would be problematic.
Although she said she didn’t want him to help her secretly, she could still find the opportunity to help her openly.
Thinking like this, the little tangle in Fu Jingting’s heart was completely calmed down.
“By the way, you’re not busy now, are you?” Rongshu suddenly asked.
Fu Jingting gave a hint, “Rest a little, I have a meeting later.”
“It’s really hard work.” Rongshu was a little distressed.
Fu Jingting heard it and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes, “It will be fine after a while.”
“Mm.” Rongshu also smiled.
Afterwards, Fu Jingting’s eyes flickered slightly, “What was the outcome of the court trial?”
“Six months, but Rong Yuan is not convinced and wants to appeal.” The corner of Rong Shu’s mouth pulled out a cold smile.
Fu Jingting narrowed his eyes, “It doesn’t matter, no matter how many times she appeals, the result won’t change.”
“Yeah, so I’m not worried at all.” Rongshu shrugged her shoulders.
Fu Jingting twiddled his fingers and asked again, as if inadvertently, “In court, did Rong Yuan say anything strange to you?”
