Chapter 425 One cake to thank me?
Sheng Tingze remained silent for a long while before weakly saying, "I understand."
Hearing his voice, Sheng Tingyu became even more worried. He couldn't let him continue like this. "How long will you stay in H City?"
Sheng Tingze asked, "Are we going back to Beijing tomorrow?"
Sheng Tingyu nodded and said, "Let's talk about it when you get back!"
"Um."
I hung up the phone.
Sheng Tingze sat on the sofa, his face extremely pale.
the next day.
When Rong Shu saw Sheng Tingze, she noticed he didn't look well and asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Sheng Tingze smiled and explained, "I'm not used to sleeping in this hotel."
This hotel is already the best hotel in H City, but it can't be compared to a five-star hotel's presidential suite.
Rong Shu, "Go back today and get some rest early tonight."
Sheng Tingze nodded slightly and asked, "How did you feel last night?"
Rong Shu said, "It's alright, I didn't wake up in the middle of the night."
"It seems that traditional Chinese medicine really works."
"..."
They took a taxi to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
The old Chinese medicine doctor gave Rong Shu acupuncture. While waiting, he saw Sheng Tingze and said, "Young man, let me take your pulse."
Sheng Tingze paused for a moment, then politely declined, saying, "Thank you, Dr. Chen, but I'm perfectly healthy and have no problems."
Pei Lanhua said, "With such a good opportunity, Tingze, you might as well let Dr. Chen take a look at you."
Sheng Tingze sighed and reached out his hand, saying, "Thank you for your help."
Dr. Chen lightly touched Sheng Tingze's pulse and then said, "Young man, you have internal heat and liver qi stagnation. Don't take things too seriously, and don't be too stubborn."
Upon hearing the doctor's words, Sheng Tingze withdrew his hand, his expression changing slightly. "Thank you, doctor. Work matters are indeed a bit of a distraction."
The doctor didn't say anything more, "Do you need me to prescribe two doses of medicine?"
Sheng Tingze said, "Thank you for your help, Dr. Chen."
Dr. Chen prescribed two doses of medicine for her.
Rong Shu will have to wait another half hour.
Pei Lanhua and Sheng Tingze went outside.
Pei Lanhua said, "Tingze, it's not about work, is it?"
Sheng Tingze wanted to deny it, but before he could speak, Pei Lanhua said directly, "It's because of Xiaoshu's matter."
Upon hearing this...
Sheng Tingze remained silent.
Pei Lanhua couldn't help but sigh, "Tingze, Aunt Pei knows how good you are to Xiaoshu. It's a blessing for Xiaoshu to have a friend like you who cares for her. You've known each other for over ten years, and you're more than just an ordinary friend to Xiaoshu."
Sheng Tingze did not respond, but listened quietly to Pei Lanhua's words.
"You know Xiaoshu's current situation. Her marriage with Sheng Tingchen has worn away all her feelings. Right now, the thing she can't let go of is Meimei. What Dr. Chen just said is not without reason. Tingze, you can try to relax. She definitely wants you to be well and happy. She doesn't want you to suffer because of her."
There were some things Pei Lanhua didn't say clearly.
If Tingze had been a little braver back then, they would definitely be happy now, and Xiaoshu wouldn't have gotten into this mess.
It's truly a twist of fate; Tingze was actually the perfect match for Xiaoshu.
Sheng Tingze nodded. "I understand what Aunt Pei is saying."
Pei Lanhua didn't continue speaking.
After Rong Shu finished her acupuncture.
Du Zheng arrived by car.
The three of them got into the car.
Rong Shu then asked Sheng Tingze, "Tingze, what happened to you?"
Sheng Tingze said, "It's about recent company matters."
Rong Shu said, "Then why did you come to H City with me?"
Sheng Tingze explained, "Actually, it's almost resolved. The main issue was that there were some problems with the project before, and I haven't recovered yet. I need to get some rest when I get back." He said it casually.
Rong Shu looked at him suspiciously.
Pei Lanhua said to her, "Tingze knows what's going on, so don't worry about it."
Rong Shu nodded and looked at Sheng Tingze, saying, "If it's resolved, then relax."
Sheng Tingze said, "I know."
It was already 1 p.m. when I got back to Beijing.
Rong Shu went home and took a nap.
When she woke up, she saw a missed call on her phone from Sheng Tingchen. She called back, and the call was answered quickly. Rong Shu said, "I just woke up and missed your call." Her voice still had a nasal tone.
Sheng Tingchen said, "It's nothing. Come to my office and I'll have the driver pick you up."
Rong Shu paused for a moment, but didn't ask any further questions, simply saying, "Okay."
She also wanted to see Meimei.
"Um."
Rong Shu put down her phone and glanced at the time: four o'clock.
She threw off the covers to wash up and get ready. In the dressing room, she changed into a lake-blue long dress with bell sleeves. The dress had fit her perfectly before, but now it made her waist look noticeably bigger. She needed to eat more; she didn't want to be too thin.
She tied her hair up in a bun.
After tidying up, I went downstairs.
Pei Lanhua brought out some snacks and saw her. "Xiao Shu, you're awake. Come and have something to eat."
Rong Shu stepped forward, picked up a pastry and put it in her mouth. It was delicious. She told Pei Lanhua about going to see Sheng Tingchen and that she wanted to spend some time with Meimei.
Pei Lanhua had no reason to stop her, so she gave her the medicine she needed to take in the next two days, saying, "Remember to take your medicine on time, and don't secretly throw it away when no one is watching."
Rong Shu smiled and said, "I'm not a child anymore. I'll drink it on time."
"That's good."
However, it wasn't too late.
Rong Shu went to the kitchen and spent an hour making two cakes with Pei Lanhua to take with her. Pei Lanhua also told her to take some of the snacks she made that afternoon for Mei Mei to eat.
After tidying up.
She then went out the door.
The driver was waiting at the door early in the morning.
Half an hour later.
Rong Shu took the elevator upstairs.
Inside the office.
Sheng Tingchen looked at a document in his hand, which contained a divorce agreement. His eyes were so deep that they were unfathomable.
At this time.
A knock came at the door.
Sheng Tingchen looked away and put the agreement in his hand into the drawer.
"Come in."
The office door opened.
Rong Shu stepped inside.
When Sheng Tingchen saw her, she looked much better. He said, "Sit down for a while. We'll go back to the old house to pick up Meimei after dinner."
Rong Shu stopped and asked, "Do you want something to eat?"
Sheng Tingchen's gaze swept over the bag she was carrying. "What's in it?"
Rong Shu took out a box of blueberry chocolate cake from the bag and handed it to him. The appearance was not as exquisite as those outside, but the taste was definitely very pure.
Sheng Tingchen looked down at the cake handed to him, then looked up at the woman and asked, "Did you make this yourself?"
Rong Shu said, "Anyway, I still thank you."
Sheng Tingchen's dark eyes were fixed intently on the woman's face, as if he wanted to see through her eyes. Rong Shu met his gaze without looking away.
He slowly lowered his eyes, looking at the cake in front of him, then suddenly chuckled softly and said, "A cake to thank me?"
Rong Shu pursed her lips and remained silent.
The man asked again, "Is there only one in the bag?"
