Chapter 42 We Have to Meet

The man took a sip of tea and said with an ambiguous tone, "Qin Yi came to Hong Kong alone and is unfamiliar with the place. As a friend, it's inevitable that I'll pay more attention to you."

"Maybe." Su Ti muttered, "No wonder Xiang Qing said he was careful."

Rong Shaoting looked at her serious expression, curled his lips silently, but was not prepared to point it out.

For some things, if the person involved is unaware of them, no matter how others react, it will be useless.

The man twirled his pinky ring and said in a gentle and persuasive manner, "Since Qin Yi likes Xiang Qing, keep a proper distance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

Su Ti agreed, "Of course, I don't have much contact with him."

The smile on Rong Shaoting's lips deepened.

Silly girl.

Su Ti didn't stay in room 308 for long.

After a simple meal and some fish maw porridge, I prepared to go downstairs.

Finally, he reacted, looked at the two bowls and chopsticks on the table, and stammered: "You come to the restaurant..."

Did you come here specially or did you make an appointment with someone?

When I entered the room, the food was already on the table.

There are two bowls and plates, which clearly does not indicate a single-person dining scene.

Is it for her...

Before she could come to terms with her thoughts, the man replied in a gentle voice, "I have an appointment."

Suti: “Oh.”

I have no ideas anymore.

She adjusted the hem of her skirt and stood up. "Is the person almost here? How about I ask the waiter to change the dishes and chopsticks?"

Rong Shaoting leaned back and squeezed her palm, "No need, I've seen it before."

Ok?
Su Ti tilted her head to look at him, and something flashed through her mind.

The man exerted a little force and pulled the girl to his side.

A mellow voice flowed from his lips, "My schedule has changed, so I won't be free tomorrow. We should meet before I return to Pingjiang."

Su Ti's heart was like a stone falling into a lake, making a tinkling sound and hitting her heart.

It is hard to imagine that a man like Rong Shaoting would say such ordinary yet warm words.

It’s not cloying or seductive, but it’s more touching than sweet words.

Su Ti curled up her hands, grasped the man's palms, and pursed her lips as if she was about to smile, "I have to go down."

He said to go down, but his hands were still tight.

In the final analysis, I can't bear to do it.

During the initial stage of a relationship, no amount of time is enough.

In the end, rationality triumphed over sensibility.

Rong Shaoting saw her out. Before he opened the door, he stroked her head and told her, "Don't drink too much. When you get home tomorrow, report that you are safe."

Su Ti glanced at him, lowered her head and nodded.

So good, so good.

……

downstairs.

The noisy banquet was still in full swing.

During the time when Su Ti disappeared, apart from Qin Yi, the careless elders didn't pay any attention at all.

After she came back, Su's mother asked, "Where have you been?"

"The bathroom." Su Ti made up a story with her eyes wide open. "I have a stomachache."

Mother Su picked up the teacup on the table and placed it in front of her. "What did you eat? Is it serious? Drink some hot water first."

Suti holds the universal hot water and says it’s not serious.

Seeing that her face was rosy and her eyes were bright, Su's mother didn't take it to heart.

He turned around and continued to clink glasses and chat with relatives and friends at the same table.

Until the end of the banquet, Su Ti did not run around again.

Sitting quietly at the main table, acting as a background.

During this period, Qin Yi came twice.

He was trying to find out whether she was feeling unwell after spending so much time upstairs.

After a few words, Su Ti suddenly understood.

It turned out that Qin Yi thought she was visiting during her menstrual period and almost arranged for a female waiter to bring her sanitary products.

Su Ti smiled awkwardly and thanked him for his kindness.

The one hundred and first time I sigh that this warm man is too warm and I am not worthy of him.

I wish Xiang Qing good luck.

……

The next day, the trip to the port city ended.

Before the Suti family left, they heard the conversation between their uncle and the housekeeper in the living room. Uncle Jiang Youshang confirmed again and again, "Is it really sent by Mr. Rong?"

The housekeeper replied patiently, "I asked the accountant, and it was indeed a gift from a Mr. Chen Bai on behalf of Mr. Rong."

Jiang Chen on the side looked at Su Ti with a teasing look.

Su Ti looked calm and had no intention of seeking credit.

She didn't act so self-indulgently as to think that Rong Shaoting gave gifts to his uncle just to give her face.

Mr. Rong of Gangcheng was a well-known figure. After receiving the invitation from the Chiang family, it was impossible for him to remain indifferent and not express his opinion.

At ten o'clock sharp, two Chinese and Hong Kong licensed vehicles from the Jiang family set out from Repulse Bay to take the Su family back to the river.

Just as arranged when we came.

Su Ti and Qin Yi were riding in the same car.

To avoid unnecessary misunderstanding, she pretended to sleep as soon as she got in the car.

We arrived in Pingjiang before twelve o'clock.

Father Su rushed to the company to handle business.

Su Ti went home with her mother, while Qin Yi was taken to Qin's house by the driver.

After a simple lunch, Suti came down from upstairs with a lot of bags.

Su's mother, who was sitting in the living room, looked her up and down. "Why, did you empty your room?"

At this time, Suti was carrying a mountaineering bag on her back, a small leather bag slung across her shoulder, and a suitcase in her hand.

Standing at the stairs, it was like a burglar.

Su Ti staggered down the stairs dragging the suitcase, "No, they are all clothes I usually wear. How about you check them?"

"You two are both more stubborn than each other." Su's mother sighed, "Your father is just being stubborn. He won't really let you sleep on the streets. If you really can't make it, you can come back anytime."

The first half is very motherly, and the second half is very heartbreaking.

In the eyes of her parents, their little daughter, who had been pampered since childhood, was unaware of the sufferings of the world.

I am afraid that it won’t be long before I will be beaten by society and go home crying to my mother.

Maybe he was holding his breath, or maybe he didn't want to give up easily.

Su Ti was trying hard to do something big.

She didn't refute her mother, just laughed a few words, then picked up her bag and walked out.

PARKING LOT.

Su Ti found the housekeeper Tan Bo and picked and chose from a pile of car keys. Finally, she chose a Camry, a small shopping car that suits her current situation.

Durable and cheap.

The main thing is that I don’t feel bad if it gets bumped or dented, and I can afford to repair it with little money.

Su Ti drove the Camry back to Xinghai City.

After putting his things in place, he took out his cell phone and sent a WeChat message to Rong Shaoting saying "Arrived safely".

I waited for a while, but no reply.

I guess people are busy.

Su Ti didn't keep an eye on her phone. She packed up her things, opened the corporate WeChat group, and checked the group messages.

There is a screen-filling message welcoming new members.

Su Ti flipped through the pages and understood that the new person who took over her position yesterday had already started work.

It seems that I will be able to officially leave Yitong Internet soon.

In the evening, around six o'clock.

Su Ti, who was calculating the small treasury, received a WeChat reply from Rong Shaoting.

I opened WeChat happily, but was stunned when I saw the content.

Mr. Rong: [OK]

Su Ti stared at the words on the screen and felt so cold.

It is not easy to express true feelings in short chat texts.

What’s more, it’s a word without even any punctuation marks.

Suti pouted and looked unhappy.

I want to reply, but I don’t know what to reply.

They were kissing and hugging each other yesterday, but they were just being perfunctory the next day.

Man, you're a pig's hoof.

On second thought, what if he is really busy?

I remembered he said yesterday that he would not have a free day today.

It seemed to confirm Suti's guess.

Another short message popped up on the WeChat page.

Mr. Rong: [Busy today, go to bed early]

Su Ti pressed the phone to her chest, paused for a few seconds, and gently typed the following line of words: [Got it, good night in advance, don’t reply.]
