Chapter 440 Temporary Contact

It's almost 11 o'clock.

After finishing his work, Sheng Tingchen returned to his bedroom.

Rong Shu was still awake. She seemed not to hear the noise and continued to flip through the book in her hands.

Sheng Tingchen walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and snatched the book from her hand.

Rong Shu then looked up at the man in front of her.

"Still awake so late? Waiting for me?"

Rong Shu, "You're quite delusional."

Sheng Tingchen chuckled softly, reached out and took Rong Shu's hand, his gaze deepening. "If you can't sleep, let's do something else."

Rong Shu pulled her hand back, preparing to lie down and sleep. However, before she could lie down, the man suddenly pulled off the blanket covering her.

Rong Shu was startled.

Sheng Tingchen reached out and picked the woman up in his arms.

Rong Shu stared wide-eyed at the man, lowering her voice to ask, "Sheng Tingchen, what are you doing?"

Sheng Tingchen carried her towards the door, saying, "I won't disturb Meimei's sleep."

Meimei is fast asleep in bed right now.

Sheng Tingchen carried Rong Shu to the next room.

"Sheng Tingchen... um!"

The man forcefully pressed the woman onto the bed, his deep, magnetic voice seductively whispering, "Relax, don't be afraid, I'll take it slow."

To avoid frightening or causing her resistance, the man was extremely gentle throughout the process, prioritizing her feelings and allowing her body to adapt, since this wasn't a one-time thing.

An hour later.

Sheng Tingchen carried the exhausted woman back to the bedroom and laid her down next to Meimei.

The next day.

When Rong Shu groggily opened her eyes, she saw Mei Mei nestled obediently in her arms, her clear, bright eyes staring at her intently. When Mei Mei saw her mother wake up, she immediately went over and gave her a kiss, "Good morning, Mom."

Rong Shu's hazy consciousness gradually cleared. Looking at Mei Mei in her arms, she couldn't help but smile, reach out and gently stroke her little head, and place a kiss on her forehead.

"Dad is already up. He said he'll make breakfast for me and Mom this morning."

The mother and daughter lingered in bed for a while, with Meimei snuggling in her mother's arms.

At this time.

The door clicked open.

Sheng Tingchen pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing the two people still lying on the bed, he stepped forward.

"dad!"

When Meimei saw her father, she got up and ran towards him on the bed with her little feet.

Sheng Tingchen reached out and picked up his daughter, spun her around twice, and her beautiful eyes crinkled with laughter, her clear laughter echoing throughout the bedroom.

"Okay, I'll get dizzy if you spin any more."

He placed Meimei on the bed and looked up at the woman who had sat up. Her long, ink-black hair was casually spread out, and her eyes were clear with a hint of languidness from just waking up. The neckline of her pajamas was open, revealing her fair, alabaster-like skin, and a red mark on her collarbone was clearly visible.

Noticing the man's gaze, Rong Shu lowered her eyes and pulled her pajamas up.

Sheng Tingchen's thin lips curved slightly, his handsome and gentle features radiating a refreshing aura. He said, "Let's get up and get ready first. It will take about an hour to get to the campsite. The weather is nice today, so let's leave early."

He took Meimei to wash up and get ready.

After breakfast, Sheng Tingchen drove the mother and son out.

The weather was nice over the weekend, and Sheng Tingchen spent most of the time with them outside. He took Meimei out to play while Rong Shu sat to the side watching the father and daughter.

Zhao Zheng and An Qingyue are about to get engaged. Almost everyone in Beijing's high society has received an invitation. News reports about the event can be seen on the GG screens in major squares, and it has become a local hot topic.

Zhao Zheng was incredibly extravagant. He booked all the flowers in the city to decorate the engagement venue, and the engagement jewelry, diamond ring, and gown were designed by a top international design team. The event was held at a manor worth 500 million yuan, and each wedding favor cost 100,000 yuan. Every detail was reported as if to let everyone know how grand this engagement banquet was, how much Zhao Zheng doted on An Qingyue, how much he valued their future, and how happy and pampered An Qingyue was. It was a truly grand affair.

Ordinary people only see the grandeur and luxury of the wedding and envy the marriage between the wealthy and powerful.

Rong Shu paid no attention at all while at home.

All she does every day is take Meimei to and from school, read books at home when she has nothing to do, or go to the Fu family to accompany Old Master Fu in practicing calligraphy and playing chess. Her whole state is no different from her usual normal state, and the disturbances of the outside world have nothing to do with her.

Jiang Yu would come to Repulse Bay to keep her company from time to time, and the two of them would pick up their child from school together around the same time.

Jiang Yu didn't mention anything about Zhao Zheng and An Qingyue's engagement to her. She and her brother had both received invitations, and Sheng Tingchen must have received one too. But since Rong Shu didn't mention it, she naturally wouldn't say anything about such disgusting things. Anyway, it had nothing to do with Xiao Shu.

this day.

Rong Shu was getting ready to go out.

Sheng Tingze came to see her.

"Tingze".

Sheng Tingze looked her over and, seeing that she seemed to be in good spirits, he felt relieved. "I came to see you. How have you been feeling lately?"

Rong Shu said, "It went well. How about you?" She then remembered something and asked, "How did your blind date go?"

Sheng Tingze accepted the blind date arranged by Fu Ying. The woman was Qin Xin, a young lady from the Qin family. Her demeanor and speech clearly indicated that she was a well-bred young lady from a prestigious family. At first glance, she seemed like an ethereal fairy. Although she was dignified, elegant, and beautiful, she was clearly disciplined by her family and dared not make the slightest mistake in her personal behavior.

We had a brief chat.

Both of them knew in their hearts that they were not a good match.

Both are reasonable people, so they can be good partners. They reached an agreement to deal with family pressure and avoid being arranged to meet other potential partners later, and decided to continue their contact for the time being.

In response to Rong Shu's question.

Sheng Tingze didn't tell her the truth, only saying, "Let's see how it goes for now!"

Rong Shu nodded. Since he was able to make contact, their first impressions must have been very good. Miss Qin seemed to be a well-educated and sensible young lady from a prestigious family, and their family backgrounds and social statuses were very compatible.

She didn't ask any more questions, just said, "That's good."

Sheng Tingze: "Were you about to leave?"

Rong Shu said, "I went out to buy some things for my brother and send them to him."

Sheng Tingze asked in confusion, "Your brother?"

Rong Shu explained the reason.

Sheng Tingze realized that Su Qingzhi had only been in contact with her online and had not met her in person. She had thought Su Qingzhi was in City C, and she had even seen him at the party yesterday.

"That's good, you can finally meet your brother."

Seeing Rong Shu's expectant look, he felt an indescribable worry in his heart.

"I don't have anything planned today, I'll keep you company!"

Rong Shu declined, "No need, I can go by myself."

Sheng Tingze knew perfectly well what was going on, but didn't insist. "Alright then."

The driver took Rong Shu out.

Sheng Tingze drove away and followed her car.

At a crossroads, as he turned the steering wheel to drive in another road, he saw a truck speeding towards him and crashing into him.

boom!

The deafening crash of the vehicles echoed throughout the area.

The truck collided directly with two vehicles, one of which was overturned.

The truck's front end was pressed against the Maybach, but the truck's performance was sufficient to prevent it from overturning. The truck's front end was completely smashed, the Maybach's doors were deformed from the impact, and fuel was constantly leaking from the fuel tank.

Sheng Tingze jerked the steering wheel, pulled the car over to the side of the road, quickly got out, and ran frantically toward the Maybach that had been hit.

He opened the car door, reached out and carried Rong Shu, who had been knocked unconscious, out of the car, and quickly ran towards a safe area.

boom!

The fuel exploded.

Flames surged skyward.

Before Sheng Tingze could get far from the danger zone while carrying Rong Shu, a gust of air hit him, causing him to fall to the ground.
