She didn't speak, but hot tears slid down her cheeks. Fu Jingchen saw it and, for some reason, felt a little irritated.
“Since my mother passed away, my father has stopped caring about me. My aunt and her children have been finding all sorts of ways to bully me and try to drive me away.”
"Now, for the sake of the Mu family's wealth, she's forcing me to marry someone I don't even like. Life is so miserable. Rather than be caught by them, I'd rather—"
"Fourth Master, Fourth Master."
Before Rong Shang could finish her heartfelt words, the anxious voice of the maid outside came through the door.
She appeared in the doorway in less than a few seconds.
She first greeted Rong Shang politely, then looked at Fu Jingchen and said respectfully, "Fourth Master, the Mu family has arrived."
It's hard to say who appeared at such an inopportune time, but Fu Jingchen subconsciously glanced at Rong Shang, a strange light flashing in his dark eyes.
Before he could speak, the woman in front of him sneered.
"Fourth Master, did you notify the Mu family to come and pick me up?"
What should she say?
Fu Jingchen's adding fuel to the fire only fueled Rong Shang's anger, which she could only suppress and prevent from erupting.
She lowered her eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing across them.
Fu Jingchen frowned again, feeling as if he had somehow wronged her.
They clearly told her to leave before dark, but now they've notified the Mu family without her knowledge.
You let them—
"Tell them to wait for me outside for a while."
Fu Jingchen was interrupted coldly by Rong Shang before he could finish speaking.
Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit off, the maid glanced at the distinguished man and, after receiving his permission, withdrew.
After the maid left, the atmosphere in the room continued to soar.
I've been here for three days, and everything I've worn and used has been from the Fu family.
Since she was leaving, Rong Shang changed back into the clothes she wore on the first day.
"Thank you for your hospitality these past two days, Fourth Master."
She was probably angry. Fu Jingchen noticed that she was expressionless and didn't even glance at him while speaking.
He was a cold and aloof person by nature, and he always kept to himself and others' affairs.
The woman in front of him had only known him for a few days, not enough for him to care about her or consider her feelings.
She simply responded with a faint "Mm".
Fu Jingchen moved to a spot near the window to make way for her.
But for some reason, his deep, dark gaze would always involuntarily fall on her at this moment.
Rong Shang was always perceptive; how could she not know that Fu Jingchen was watching her?
However, she was somewhat annoyed and walked past him.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
She walked very slowly, and Fu Jingchen watched quietly from behind, neither expressing any dissatisfaction nor trying to stop her.
You could say he's a complete enigma.
Rong Shang was both angry and amused. As she reached the threshold of the door, she suddenly turned around.
When their eyes met unexpectedly, Fu Jingchen's heart skipped a beat. As if he had been caught red-handed, he turned his face away in a panic, avoiding her gaze.
"Take a close look, make sure you don't miss anything."
A cool voice came from behind her. Rong Shang looked at him, and he had already taken long strides.
Rong Shang knew he was leaving.
With a flash of insight, she grabbed Fu Jingchen's arm without saying a word as he walked past her.
"Hmm?" Raising an eyebrow, Fu Jingchen looked over, puzzled.
Who knew what would happen next—
