Chapter 294 Craving Her Scent
Chapter 294 Craving Her Scent
Her attitude was more serious and left no room for argument than before.
Sheng Tingchen's dark eyes were fixed on her.
A moment of silence.
He said gently, "Alright then, I'll do as you say."
The man's sudden show of weakness startled Rong Shu, but she couldn't tell if he had truly taken her words to heart or was merely going through the motions.
"Nothing else, I'm going back now," Rong Shu said, reaching out to open the car door.
Sheng Tingchen suddenly grabbed her hand again. Rong Shu turned around, and the man stretched out his long arm, turned sideways, and forcefully picked up the woman.
Rong Shu was startled. "Sheng Tingchen, what are you doing?"
Sheng Tingchen settled the woman on his lap. Despite her panic, he remained remarkably calm and composed, holding her tightly in his arms. His handsome features were framed by a smile as he looked at her, his voice deep and sexy as he said, "Hold me for a while."
The man buried his face in her neck, breathing deeply, as if savoring the scent of her body.
Rong Shu's whole body was tense, her fingers tightly gripping the cashmere sweater under the man's coat. At such close proximity, she could clearly feel the sound of the man's heartbeat, and even a certain part of his body reacting too strongly.
The man's breathing grew heavier, and his heat enveloped her neck.
Rong Shu frowned, a sudden wave of nausea rising in her chest.
Sheng Tingchen noticed something was wrong with the woman and slowly released her.
"What's wrong?"
Rong Shu turned her back to the man, her face pale, and covered her mouth while dry heaving. Sheng Tingchen quickly reached out and patted her back.
Thinking of her previous pathology report, his expression darkened.
"I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous."
Rong Shu reached out to open the car door and get out.
Sheng Tingchen didn't force her any further and opened the car door for her. The cold wind made Rong Shu feel much better.
Sheng Tingchen got out of the car and, seeing that her complexion had improved, said, "Three days from now, we'll take Meimei to Australia. What do you think?"
Rong Shu glanced at him but didn't reply. As she was about to turn back, she saw an Audi slowly approaching.
The Audi stopped, and Pei Yu and Sheng Tingze got out of the car.
Sheng Tingchen turned around and looked at the two of them.
Pei Yu strode over.
He had just seen the two of them get out of the car through the same side door, and he nervously looked Rong Shu up and down. Seeing that she didn't look well, he frowned. "Xiao Shu, are you feeling unwell?"
"Brother, I'm fine, don't worry."
He glanced sideways at Sheng Tingchen warily.
Sheng Tingchen explained, "President Pei, there's no need to worry. I just wanted to say a few words to Xiaoshu."
Seeing that the two of them were indeed not acting strangely, Pei Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's cold outside, Xiaoshu, go back inside quickly, don't catch a cold. Ask Auntie to prepare some hangover soup."
Rong Shu smelled alcohol on Pei Yu. He must have been drinking with Sheng Tingze tonight, which is why he came back so late.
"Tingze, you and Xiaoshu should go in first!"
Sheng Tingze and Rong Shu walked into the villa together.
After the two left, Pei Yu and Sheng Tingchen didn't say anything and drove back.
Through the iron gate.
Sheng Tingchen could see Rong Shu and Sheng Tingze leaving side by side. Sheng Tingze took off his coat and draped it over Rong Shu. At such close proximity, their backs looked so harmonious.
Until the two figures disappeared.
"Is Meimei home today?"
Rong Shu hummed in agreement, "They're already asleep."
Sheng Tingze nodded, the image of the two of them getting out of the car together flashing through his mind. A dull pain shot through his heart. He wanted to ask something, but in the end, he didn't ask anything.
Back at the villa.
Rong Shu went to the kitchen to cook a hangover soup and brought it to the living room, giving a bowl to Sheng Tingze.
Pei Yu was on the phone; it sounded like Jiang Yu was calling.
After he hung up the phone.
Rong Shu asked, "When do you guys get your holiday?"
Pei Yu said, "It seems we won't be able to take the holiday early this year; we'll probably have to wait until the day before the Lunar New Year."
Because of that performance-based agreement, we discussed many projects. Although we now have Sheng Tingchen's contract, the cooperation we discussed before still needs to be completed.
Rong Shu nodded. "What about Tingze?"
Sheng Tingze said, "More or less. A mobile game will be launched in March, and it will soon be in the testing phase. I may have to work overtime during the Chinese New Year."
"That must be quite busy."
"Xiaoshu, you're on vacation now, do you have any plans? You haven't had much rest this year, how about taking Meimei on a vacation to relax? Xiaoyu said she wants to take Yaya to the beach, you can make plans together," Pei Yu said.
Rong Shu thought for a moment and nodded.
Rong Shu chatted with them for a while, and then Sheng Tingze went back to rest.
Go back upstairs.
Rong Shu received an invitation from Jiang Yu.
The next day.
Rong Shu went to the hospital to deliver lunch to Jiang Huaixu.
We went upstairs.
As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw a young and beautiful woman standing in front of it. She was dignified and upright, with her long hair tied up behind her head, revealing her exceptionally beautiful features and lines, which added to her capable demeanor.
When Rong Shu saw her.
The girl outside the elevator also saw her. Lu Xue smiled slightly and politely greeted her, "Evelynn."
Rong Shu stepped out of the elevator. The year she graduated, Lu Xue became Professor Michael's student. Later, during her two years of internship on Wall Street, Lu Xue was also there, so the two could be considered to be classmates.
Lu Xue comes from a wealthy family, but she doesn't have any of the spoiled, extravagant, or idle characteristics of a rich second-generation. On the contrary, she is exceptionally hardworking, humble, and composed.
Rong Shu hummed in agreement. "Long time no see. When did you return to China?"
Lu Xuedao said, "I just returned to China last month and am now working as the president's assistant at Spruce Group. I just joined the company and am still in my probationary period."
Rong Shu said, "With your abilities, staying in Yunshan would be an easy thing."
Lu Xue smiled and said, "Although I haven't been with the company for long, President Sheng's requirements and workload are much higher than in my previous jobs. I'm not sure I can satisfy President Sheng in the future."
"Then good luck."
Rong Shu and Lu Xue didn't talk much. Rong Shu walked forward, and Lu Xue stepped aside, watching her leave. Then she turned and got into the elevator.
Rong Shu knocked on the door and entered the ward.
Only Jiang's mother was in the ward.
"aunt."
Jiang's mother got up and went forward to greet her, "Xiao Shu, you're here. I'm so sorry to have troubled you to bring lunch to Huai Xu again."
Rong Shu said, "It's all the best. My mother specially made crucian carp soup today and brought a little extra. Auntie, you can try some if you don't mind."
Jiang's mother thanked her profusely and then took the insulated box from her hand.
Rong Shu helped open the table on Jiang Huaixu's hospital bed. Jiang Huaixu looked noticeably better today.
"Xiao Shu, have you eaten?"
Rong Shu said, "I've already eaten."
She sat on a stool to the side and chatted with them.
"Xiaoyu said she's inviting you to Sanya," Jiang Huaixu said.
Rong Shu nodded and said, "I'm still considering it."
Jiang Huaixu said, "Now that we're on holiday, if you don't have anything to do, it wouldn't hurt to go out and relax."
