He Ruiting nodded his head: "Alright, where should we go?"
His eyes were unperturbed, even his tone was incomparably calm. He was extremely confident that the matter that he had asked out with Fang Yuesheng was something that had already happened.
"Mm??" Fang Yuesheng heard the sound of thinking from his side, but quickly heard a clear and melodious voice: "Then let's set it to be the restaurant that the Mr. Hoh company will send over tomorrow afternoon, so we won't forget anymore."
Her tone was full of ridicule, but actually, it was also an overt emphasis on how she was extremely dissatisfied with He Ruiting's breach of contract today.
"Alright, it's a deal then."
"Yes."
Without talking too much, He Ruiting just cut off the line ahead of time. The clock on the wall was ticking and it was getting late, so He Ruiting decided to sleep.
A few minutes after he laid down, the sound of regular breathing could be heard in the room, as if there was no other noise.
And Sheng Lin, who was standing at the door, didn't seem to be able to get a reply no matter how much she tried. She wasn't discouraged by this either, because she had stood at the door for too long, and instead felt a little numb in her legs.
He probed towards He Ruiting's room and shouted: "Brother Ting? Are you listening to me? "
It was not because he did not want to give a reply when he heard it, but because the soundproofing in his room was too effective, causing Sheng Lin to not hear what He Ruiting had said to him just now.
Her voice was barely audible in the room, but it was hard to hear anyone outside the door if she didn't listen carefully in a quiet environment.
Sheng Lin stood at the entrance and paced back and forth. Even if no one spoke in the corridor, they could only hear her shallow breathing, but she still did not hear the man in the room replying her.
"He Ruiting!" She raised her voice a few decibels as she stared at the door, grumbling inwardly. She didn't know that the man inside had fallen asleep, so how could she possibly hear her grumbling outside the door?
Sheng Lin felt that it was already quite late, she grumbled as she glanced at the door, then unwillingly returned to her room.
Su Jinyi, who was about to lie down, felt a little uneasy in her heart. Maybe it was because he wasn't by her side tonight, and couldn't fall asleep peacefully.
After some thought, she walked to the door and quietly opened it a crack. Just as she was about to turn around and go back to bed, she saw a shadow blocking the light coming from outside the door. She couldn't help but breathe heavily.
She carefully laid on the doorframe to take a closer look, but she did not expect that Sheng Lin, who shamelessly stayed in their house tonight, would actually walk past her door.
Perhaps it was because she was currently deep in thought or because she had already returned to Su Jinyi's room while she was still in a daze, that she was able to clearly hear the sound of the door closing.
Su Jinyi naturally knew of Sheng Lin's thoughts. It was already so late in the night, she definitely wouldn't have the time to wander around the living room. The most likely scenario would be to go to the master bedroom, He Ruiting's bedroom.
Thinking about that, her heart couldn't help but tremble, she couldn't control her own heart, and kept thinking about all sorts of things, even though she believed that He Ruiting would never do anything that would let her down.
Suddenly, his mind cleared up and he remembered his distrustful thoughts. He really wanted to slap himself on the face, "How could Rui Ting do such a thing?"
"Don't think about it."
She kept reminding herself that while she was lying on the bed, even though she kept reminding herself not to think about all this nonsense, the image would still float in her head and she would be tossing and turning in the bed, but she would not be able to fall asleep no matter what.
Thinking of this, his heart was filled with an inexplicable sense of frustration.
She thought for a long time, and as half an hour had already passed, she could not help but become agitated. She covered her head with a blanket and roared in a low voice, "Su Jinyi, don't think about this anymore!"
As she thought about it, ten minutes later, she fell asleep just like that.
The next morning, the morning light filled the bedroom.
Perhaps it was because of Su Jinyi's wild thoughts last night, which caused her to sleep for a long time, or perhaps it was because she was tired from last night, causing her body to almost not be able to hold on, causing her to be unable to wake up early in the morning.
But Sheng Lin didn't even get up before the rooster started to chirp. After she refreshed herself and washed up, she dressed herself properly, and didn't feel like she was in someone else's home at all.
She would naturally not miss a single opportunity to interact with He Ruiting. She had just opened the door and arrived in front of He Ruiting's door, only to hear a soft voice. She did not panic at all as she pretended that she had just descended the stairs when she heard a voice from behind her.
"Brother Ting, you woke up so early. Good morning." Sheng Lin's face revealed a smile, as though she was not the one who did not wait for his reply the previous night and was unwilling to fall asleep.
He Ruiting didn't even bother to raise his eyes, how could he not see through her little trick? He didn't even bother to speak, the stairs were big enough, he walked past her and went downstairs first.
Sheng Lin did not feel any discomfort from his neglect, because she was already used to his attitude, although the expression on his face was still uncontrollably stiff, it quickly returned to normal.
"Brother Ting, are you prepared to eat breakfast before leaving?" Sheng Lin was still unrelenting as she followed behind him, asking questions from left to right. The man's face darkened, but he still ignored her and continued to walk down the stairs.
After walking down the stairs, Sheng Lin was still smiling as she stood beside him. She was already very happy to see He Ruiting in the morning, she did not regret that she forced herself to stay the night.
Breakfast was already prepared long ago on the table, and was neatly arranged in three sets. Sheng Lin sat confidently next to He Ruiting without asking.
He Ruiting squinted his eyes, with a ruthless look in his eyes, you have to know, this was a spot that he had reserved specifically for Su Jinyi.
"Brother Ting, what happened to you?" As if unaware, Sheng Lin tilted his head in confusion as he sized him up.
He Ruiting did not care about anything else, he raised his head and looked at one of the rooms in the hallway.
Until now, there had been no trace of Su Jinyi. She just didn't plan to wake her up, even if today was the first day that she was going to work.
He saw that Sheng Lin's gaping mouth had never stopped moving, as though there were countless things he wanted to tell Sheng Lin. He could not help but frown, and his voice contained an undeniable deterrence: "Shut up!"
Just two words, was enough to cause Sheng Lin to go silent as she looked at He Ruiting with a face full of fear.
