Chapter 490 I Have Something to Tell You
Rong Shu was about to knock on the door.
The door opened from the inside, and Rong Shu's hand froze in mid-air. She looked up at the man in front of her, whose previously cold and sharp expression softened. He asked, "Why aren't you resting yet?"
Rong Shu lowered her hand and said, "I have something to tell you."
Sheng Tingchen said, "I have something to take care of right now. We'll talk when I get back. Go and get some rest." With that, he put his hand on the woman's shoulder, nodded and kissed her forehead, and then strode away.
Rong Shu stood still.
He paused for a moment.
She turned around and went back to her bedroom.
The next day.
When Rong Shu woke up, there was no one beside her, obviously Sheng Tingchen had not returned last night. She got up, washed up, tidied up, and ate breakfast.
While packing my luggage and checking my ID card and passport, I realized that they were missing.
It's obvious who took it.
She picked up her phone and dialed Sheng Tingchen's number.
The call connected, and a tired, hoarse man's voice came through, "What's wrong?"
Hearing his tone, Rong Shu asked, "Did you take my ID card and passport?"
Sheng Tingchen did not deny it, "Yes, after I finish what I'm doing here, we'll go back together, in a week at most."
Rong Shu gripped her phone tightly. She had guessed that he had tried every means to trick her into coming here, and that this man would not let her go so easily. But she did not expect that he would take her passport and ID card directly.
Rong Shu was about to speak.
The man interrupted gently, "I'm still in a meeting right now. I'll talk to you when I get back."
That's all.
Sheng Tingchen then hung up the phone.
Rong Shu put down her phone and threw it aside. She felt a lump in her throat, her chest heaving, and she couldn't breathe properly. He really was as willful as ever.
She received a text message notification that she had not boarded the plane until it took off.
Simply.
She shifted her focus to working online and handling her tasks.
I received a call from Pei Lanhua.
Pei Lanhua thought she had gone to City C. As they chatted, Pei Lanhua brought up Wei Lan's matter, saying that Wei Lan had been taken away by Qin Zhan.
Pei Lanhua sighed, "That girl is really beautiful, it's just a pity she can't see. But I think she doesn't seem willing to go back with her family. Her older brother's aura is intimidating, honestly, he's just as imposing as Sheng Tingchen. She seems like a pitiful girl."
Pei Lanhua specially cooked seafood porridge and brought it to Wei Lan. When she walked into the yard, she saw Wei Lan being pushed out in a wheelchair.
Upon hearing this, Rong Shu thought of Wei Lan's nervous and frightened appearance when she saw Qin Zhan. Qin Xin couldn't protect her after all, and she couldn't help but sigh.
"Wasn't Tingze there at the time?"
Pei Lanhua said, "Tingze wasn't there at the time. I called him, but he probably doesn't know. Anyway, he doesn't know what's going on now."
Rong Shu didn't ask any more questions. Although she didn't know what had happened between her and Qin Zhan, she felt sorry for Wei Lan because she was the weaker party who had no power. But this was a matter for the Qin family and had nothing to do with her, an outsider. She just hoped that Wei Lan would be alright.
After chatting with Pei Lanhua for a while, I hung up the phone.
Work finished.
She sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the latest international news.
It lasted until 7 p.m.
Sheng Tingchen has not returned yet.
While she was eating dinner, she asked the housekeeper, "Does he come home very late every day?"
The butler respectfully replied, "Not every night. Sometimes he comes back around seven o'clock, but most of the time he doesn't return until around ten o'clock at night."
That really is busy.
It's past eight o'clock.
Sheng Tingchen returned to his apartment.
Rong Shu was sitting in the living room watching TV when she looked up and stared at the man walking towards her.
Sheng Tingchen walked to the sofa and sat down next to the woman, putting his arm around her waist and saying with a light smile, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Rong Shu retorted coldly, "Then what do you think I should do now?"
Sheng Tingchen smiled and tightened his grip on the woman. "I feel more at ease with you by my side. I don't want anything to go wrong before our wedding."
Rong Shu frowned slightly and said in an unusually serious tone, "Sheng Tingchen, I don't want to argue with you anymore. I accept that you went to great lengths to get me here, but please respect my personal freedom. I will not depend on you."
Sheng Tingchen looked at the woman in front of him, his expression composed, and replied, "I know you have things you want to do, and I won't restrict your freedom in the future. I promise this will only happen this once."
Rong Shu met the man's gaze. "Then how can I trust you?"
Sheng Tingchen grasped the woman's hand and said, "It seems my credibility with you is really low."
Rong Shu, "You do have some self-awareness."
Sheng Tingchen smiled helplessly, "If you were gentler, I wouldn't have had to resort to coaxing and deception."
Rong Shu looked directly at him and asked, "So you mean I'd better just stay the way I was five years ago?"
Sheng Tingchen remained calm, tightening his grip on the woman's hand slightly, and said, "I didn't mean that."
The words fell.
The air fell silent.
After a brief silence.
Rong Shu turned her head away and said, "Give me back my passport and ID card."
Sheng Tingchen sighed softly and said, "Okay."
Unexpectedly, he agreed so easily, so Rong Shu had nothing to say.
He hasn't had dinner yet.
The maid has prepared dinner.
"Have dinner with me first."
Sheng Tingchen helped the woman to her feet.
Tonight's tender night was exceptionally gentle with the man compared to the previous night, taking care of her feelings throughout.
I woke up the next day.
Rong Shu no longer felt unwell. When she sat up, she saw her ID card and passport on the bedside table.
Rong Shu reached out, picked it up, glanced at it, then put it down, lifted the blanket, got up, and went to the bathroom.
She ended up staying there for two more days. Sheng Tingchen left early and returned late every day, and the first thing he did when he got back at night was to be affectionate with her.
It seems like he only does two things every day now: work and sleep with her.
I come home exhausted every night, but the next morning I feel fully energized and ready to go.
this day.
When Rong Shu got up, she was surprised to find the man beside her still there, but he was sleeping soundly and showed no sign of waking up.
After Rong Shu finished tidying up, she sat on the sofa in the bedroom and waited for him to wake up.
I don't know how much time passed.
The man on the bed stirred. He instinctively rolled over and reached for something, but his arm missed. His hazy consciousness instantly cleared, and he used his arm to support himself as he sat up, looking up at the woman sitting on the sofa.
"woke up."
Rong Shu got up and walked towards the edge of the bed.
The man, half-naked, leaned against the headboard, his bangs scattered messily across his forehead. He slightly lifted his eyes to look at the woman in front of him, his voice languid and magnetic, as if he had just woken up, and said, "Up so early."
Rong Shu asked, "Not going to the company today?"
Sheng Tingchen said, "Take a day off and I'll go out for a walk with you so you won't be bored."
