Chapter 371 What A Coincidence!
When Fu Wenhai is out to answer the call, Fu Zhengzheng sends a text message to Zhu Ting, but she doesn’t receive her reply. At this moment, noises come from outside. She feels glad, stands up quickly and hurried out.
Unexpectedly, when she opens the door of the private room, Fu Wenhai comes in. They almost run into each other.
Fu Zhengzheng conceals her intention immediately, “What’s going on outside?”
“A waiter splashed soup on a customer carelessly and the customer claimed for her clothes.”
“Oh, I thought something serious happened. It startled me.” Fu Zhengzheng smiles and goes back to her seat.
After the incident, all dishes are served. Because they don’t drink and their topic is about the following business of Bamboo Heaven, the dinner is finished in less than half an hour.
Fu Wenhai sees them off to the parking lot. Fu Zhengzheng gets into the car and sees Han Siqi start it slowly. When she looks at Fu Wenhai, she takes the chance to look around, but Zhu Ting is nowhere to be seen. She still hasn’t received Zhu Ting’s reply, so she feels restless slightly.
When the car runs to the road before Glamour Restaurant, Fu Zhengzheng takes out her cellphone to call Zhu Ting. The call is answered quickly, and then she hears Zhu Ting’s breathless voice.
“Zhengzheng, sorry, I’ve left home. Are you still there?”
Hearing Zhu Ting’s voice, Fu Zhengzheng is relieved slightly and then asks, “We have finished the dinner and come out. What’s the matter with you?”
Zhu Ting explains embarrassedly, “I found I had a period on the way, so I rushed back to change clothes. But my cellphone was left in the pocket of trousers. Then I ran back to fetch it.”
“You really…Forget it. Now that he has been discharged from the hospital, there will be many chances. Have a good rest. Let’s choose another time.”
“Is Fu Wenhai still in Glamour Restaurant?”
“I just came out. He saw us off first. Maybe he has left now.”
“Oh.”
“Take a good rest.”
Fu Zhengzheng hangs up the phone. She meets Han Siqi’s glance and just gives him a vague explanation.
“Let’s go back.”
Han Siqi nods and drives faster.
It’s only past 8:00 p.m. when they get home. Fu Zhengzheng didn’t sleep sound last night and is yawning now. Han Siqi yawns too when he hurries her to go to bed.
Seeing that, Fu Zhengzheng stops him from turning on the computer, “Don’t work tonight. Go to bed early, or you will be worn out.”
“There is something that hasn’t been dealt with.”
“No matter how important it is, delay it till tomorrow.” Fu Zhengzheng doesn’t agree and pushes him into the bathroom.
Han Siqi laughs, “Then let’s take a bath together and sleep together.”
Fu Zhengzheng rolls her eyes at him, “Nonsense. If we don’t sleep together, do you want to sleep on the sofa alone?”
They take the pajamas, take a bath together and then go to bed early. They are so sleepy that neither of them has other thoughts. They embrace and fall asleep soon.
Fu Zhengzheng’s cellphone rings when they are sleeping sound and wakes them up from their sleep.
When Han Siqi turns on the light, Fu Zhengzheng has got her cellphone. She finds the call is from the other SIM card and the cellphone says 23:20. Her heart sinks. She answers it immediately.
“What’s up?”
“I met Fu Wenhai.” Zhu Ting’s voice sounds a little nervous and much excited.
“What? Where?”
“Around Glamour Restaurant.”
Fu Zhengzheng becomes excited too, “Tell me the whole story.”
“OK.” Then Zhu Ting begins to tell the story in detail.
At dusk, she put on jeans and canvas shoes specially, switched her cellphone to vibration state and put it into her jeans pocket so that she could know a call or text messages immediately. She left home at 5:30. However, on the way she felt something hot running from the lower part of her body. She realized what it was. Then she rushed home to change her trousers. She was so hurried that she forgot to take out the cellphone from the jeans pocket. When she found her cellphone was left at home, she rushed home again. As soon as getting the cellphone, she received Fu Zhengzheng’ call to ask what’s the matter with her. She thought Fu Zhengzheng would scold her for being forgetful. But Fu Zhengzheng only comforted her and told her to go to bed early. She was moved.
She intended to go home. But it’s not late. Besides, Fu Zhengzheng told her that Fu Wenhai saw them off first. It’s unknown whether he had left. Therefore, she came to Glamour Restaurant tentatively and pretended to walk nearby while looking at the gate of Glamour Restaurant sometimes.
But after she walked up and down twice, Fu Wenhai wasn’t seen to come out. For fear that she would draw attention of someone with special motives if she continued walking there, she went to the roadside to hail a taxi.
At this moment, two beams of dazzling light were casted to her. She was startled and wanted to leap away. At this moment, she was dragged aside by someone. There was a green belt by the roadside which was several centimeters higher than the pavement. She didn’t notice it. As a result, she stumbled and almost fell. Luckily, a strong hand supported her behind in time. She also held the hand subconsciously to regain balance.
With a harsh sound of brake, a black car stopped by her.
“How did you drive the car?” Zhu Ting felt angry and managed to stand stably. Then she loosened the hand and said thanks meanwhile.
The driver of the black car got out of the car quickly, rushed to her, held her hands and asked in a trembling voice, “Who…who…who are you?”
Zhu Ting saw the man clearly and couldn’t help opening her eyes wide.
Fu Wenhai!
She had been trying to encounter him, and unexpectedly she achieved her aim without efforts!
From his expression, she could imagine the relationship between him and Li Xiaomeng.
She held back the sudden excitement and her face darkened deliberately, “You even don’t ask whether I am hurt. How dare you ask my name?”
“I…” Fu Wenhai was made speechless by her question and at a loss for what to say. He just stared at her in a stupefied way.
At this time, a man behind Zhu Ting holds her suddenly and shouts, “How dare you ask my girlfriend’s name? I’m warning you! Don’t molest my woman! It’s so outdated to accost a girl in this way. Are you drunk driving? If so, I will call the police and send you to the prison!”
Fu Wenhai didn’t notice Tang Feng standing by Zhu Ting until now. He paused and explained at once, “Sorry, I was distracted, and my vision was blurred. Could you tell me whether your girlfriend is hurt? I’ll take her to the hospital for examination.”
Zhu Ting found it’s Tang Feng that saved her just now. Hearing he claimed that she was his woman, she got furious. She threw off his hand and snapped, “Who is your woman? Don’t talk nonsense! I don’t know you at all!”
Tang Feng grinned cheekily at once, “You brought me love breakfast and an umbrella in the morning, but you claim you don’t know me in the evening. Who will believe that?”
“Shame on you! Mawkish!” Zhu Ting spat and intended to leave. She knew she had attracted Fu Wenhai’s eyes successfully.
Tang Feng wanted to hold her back, but Fu Wenhai stood in his way instantly, “Sir, the girl says she doesn’t know you. Please don’t badger her.”
Tang Feng became fierce immediately, “Who the hell are you? Fuck off as far as possible! Don’t hinder me from picking up the girl.”
“Please be polite!” Fu Wenhai doesn’t give any impression of weakness.
Finding Tang Feng is going to swing his fist, Zhu Ting held Fu Wenhai’s arm immediately and glanced at Tang Feng with disdain, “I have a boyfriend. Please don’t badger me anymore. Let’s go. Leave this insane man alone.”
Zhu Ting led Fu Wenhai to the car and didn’t loosen her hand until they walked to the car. Fu Wenhai turned on the remote-control lock. Zhu Ting opened the door and sat on the passenger seat.
“Baby, don’t go.” Tang Feng ran over.
Fu Wenhai bypassed the car quickly and got into the car. He wanted to start the car, but his hands quivered and it took him quite a while to insert the key. Zhu Ting saw that out of the corner of her eye, but she pretended not to notice it. While Tang Feng was patting the car window outside, she clung to the door handle intentionally and pretended to be anxious.
A few seconds later, Fu Wenhai started the car and drove off.
When Zhu Ting saw Tang Feng kicking behind, she laughed. Then she looked at Fu Wenhai and said, “Thanks for your help.”
After the car took a turn at a place far from Tang Feng, Fu Wenhai stopped the car immediately, turned around, held Zhu Ting’s shoulder suddenly and asked hurriedly, “Who are you?”
“Me? I am Zhu Ting.” Zhu Ting stared “confusedly” at Fu Wenhai whose face was pale.
“Zhu Ting?” Fu Wenhai read the name and then asked, “Have we ever met?”
“It should be the first time that we have met, right?”
Looking at Zhu Ting’s puzzled eyes, Fu Wenhai paused, strived to restrain himself and forced a smile to conceal his feeling, “I feel I have met you before. You look familiar.”
Zhu Ting touched her face on purpose and sighed, “Is it because my appearance is very common? It can’t be remembered.”
“No, no. I didn’t mean that. You are pretty. Really.”
“Is that true? Thank you.”
Fu Wenhai looked calmer and changed the topic smilingly, “It’s true. Is that man chasing you?”
“I don’t know him at all. How unlucky I am today. I have encountered him for several times.” Zhu Ting pretended to be angry and ignored Fu Wenhai’s observation by the chance of talking.
“You are so pretty. It’s normal to be chased. But that man doesn’t look like the same type as you. Be careful.”
Zhu Ting curls her lips, “I won’t give him a second glance. Thank you for putting on a show with me just now.”
Fu Wenhai laughed, “It’s my pleasure to help a pretty girl. Such coincidence is rarely seen.”
Zhu Ting smiled at him while holding the door handle and intending to get out of the car, “Thank you. It’s getting late. I have to go home.”
Finding she stared at the front taxi, Fu Wenhai asks immediately, “Excuse me, where do you live? Don’t misunderstand. I just want to know if it’s on my way.”
Zhu Ting hesitated and then told her address to him.
“What a coincidence. My house is on that road too. I live in Jiamao International Garden. We are neighbors.”
“Ah? It’s indeed coincidental! Then thanks for your lift.” Although knowing their destinations are inevitably close, Zhu Ting pretended to be excited.
She had been arranged to live here specially to encounter him.
Fu Wenhai laughed, “You are welcome, but you have to pay me the fare.”
Zhu Ting knew he was joking, so she also laughed, “You use your private car to carry a passenger. It’s unlicensed. I will report you.”
“Please forgive me, madam.”
Then they laughed, and the atmosphere in the car became harmonious.
When the car stopped at the gate of Zhu Ting’s community, she had known he was named Fu Wenhai, the boss of Wenhai Building Materials. He knew she was named Zhu Ting, working in a law firm.
Zhu Ting got out of the car, waved at him and entered the community. After turning around a corner, she hid in the corner quickly. Peeking through the gap between leaves, she saw Fu Wenhai’s car pull away slowly. When she was about to turn around and go home, she glimpsed a car parked by the roadside get started suddenly and follow Fu Wenhai’s car…
