“... Sorry, it was my fault for lack of consideration.” Fu Yu placed the lychee in her palm.
Changqing felt a little conflicted for a while. She didn’t expect Fu Yu to apologize to her.
“Let’s go for dinner together; I haven’t eaten yet,” Fu Yu said in a half-joking manner, “I’ve been starving myself just for this moment—you can’t reject me.”
“... I already made plans with someone,” Changqing replied with her teeth clenched.
“Then let’s go together. Don’t tell me you’re going to let me eat alone right now unless it’s inconvenient.” Fu Yu’s gentle eyes made it hard to reject him.
Changqing could only give in.
When they reached the restaurant, Ruan Yang, who was ordering a table-full of side dishes for the steamboat, saw her entering with Fu Yu and was astonished.
“So it’s Miss Ruan.” Fu Yu shook her hand naturally and relaxedly. “It’s been a while. I just went to the production set to visit Changqing and it happened that I hadn’t had dinner, so I came over to crash your dinner. I hope Miss Ruan doesn’t mind.”
“Of course not. It’s my honor to be able to have a meal with CEO Fu.” Ruan Yang smiled. “However, we’re having steamboat...”
“It’s quite rare to see people eating steamboat in the summer, but there’s air-conditioning in the room so it isn’t that bad.” Fu Yu helped the two ladies with the dishes in a very gentlemanly manner. “Right, I heard Miss Ruan is intending to shoot a new film with Hollywood. Congratulations.”
“That was all made up by the media; there’s no such thing.” Ruan Yang lifted the corners of her lips lazily. “Honestly, I don’t really care for appearing in a Hollywood film in a cameo for a few seconds.”
“I agree too.” Fu Yu showed his admiration. “The foreigners approach the Chinese to shoot merely because they want to increase ticket sales at the Chinese box office. However, it’s usually more than 10 days of filming while only a few minutes might be aired in the end and sometimes, it’s only a few seconds. That’s asking for embarrassment.”
As a glutton, Changqing basically ate silently and allowed both of them to chat merrily.
Fu Yu helped her to her favorite dishes from time to time. Watching her mouth red and pouting when she ate, his eyes were filled with pampering indulgence for a glutton.
After dinner, it was almost nine.
When Fu Yu settled the bill, he asked, “It’s still early. Do you want to go have some dimsum...”
“We’re artistes—is it really good to eat so much?” Ruan Yang covered her stomach with a face full of frustration after being stuffed. “I’m sorry, CEO Fu, maybe next time. We’re both very tired today. Changqing is probably tired and feels very sleepy.”
Changqing nodded. “I had a whole day of filming and I’m very tired. I’m staying at Ruan Yang’s place tonight, so I’ll take her car. Fu Yu, you don’t have to take me home.”
“Alright then. Drop me a message when you get home.” Fu Yu took a look at Ruan Yang, who had a fox-like smile. After this dinner, he roughly understood that Changqing was basically very dependent on Ruan Yang now and if he wanted to take Changqing down, he had to deal with this Ruan Yang first.
The Lamborghini drove away a certain distance, but Ruan Yang could still see Fu Yu’s silhouette through the rear-view mirror.
She frowned and Changqing asked, “You lied to Fu Yu by saying that we’re going home. Are you not quite fond of him?”
“Don’t tell me you want me to tell him that we’re going to visit Guan Ying?” Ruan Yang curled her lips up into a smile. “If I said that, he would definitely tag along. Guan Ying is his artiste, if he said he wanted to visit, we couldn’t find any reason to reject. Anyway, you also don’t want him to tag along either.”
Changqing was silent. She guessed correctly.
“Sometimes, you don’t have to be too honest. It’s this thing about you that he was certain about.” Ruan Yang said, “Us three women with one man tagging along spoils the picture. Besides, the same man who was introduced as Guan Ying’s man to me before is now chasing my other good friend. As someone who’s caught in the middle, I can’t bring myself to be fond of him. Don’t get angry at me for saying this about your childhood sweetheart whom you’ve had a crush on since you were little.”
“I’m not angry...” Changqing could really understand how Ruan Yang felt.
In the ward, Guan Ying, who was watching television programs, was exhilarated to see their arrival. “Ruan Yang, don’t tell me you came specifically to visit me after finding out I was hospitalized.”
“This is a must—you’re my good friend. Even if I was filming in the South Pole, I’d still have to come visit.” Ruan Yang placed her visiting gift down and observed her complexion. “It looks like you’re better than what Changqing told me before, but you’ve been lying down every day. Why aren’t you getting any fatter?”
“It’s horrible lying down too.” Guan Ying sniffed around. “You two went for steamboat?”
“What a hound’s nose.” Ruan Yang laughed out loud. Changqing nodded with a smile. “We went to eat Chongqing steamboat.”
Guan Ying rubbed her stomach. “You guys are making me drool; I want to eat some too. I’ve been having plain and light food, and I’m losing the sense of taste.”
“When you’re better, I’ll treat you no matter how long you want to eat.” Changqing let out a laugh.
Ruan Yang searched for a chair to sit on and said suddenly, “Changqing said Dr. Song is also in this hospital and he even helped you teach your Dad a lesson before. Why don’t I see him tonight?”
A complicated expression escaped Guan Ying’s eyes. “We’re still in the break-up phase. Besides, he went to Switzerland to attend a seminar today as a representative of the hospital.”
Changqing was in a daze.
Song Chuyi went to Switzerland. She actually found out about it later than Guan Ying.
This feeling tasted more bitter than eating a whole bitter gourd.
Also, a certain area in her heart suddenly felt empty.
Although they were about to get a divorce, at least she knew Song Chuyi was still in Northern City last time and was still working at this hospital.
Switzerland was on this Earth, but it was so far away that it suddenly seemed that she and Song Chuyi had become people from two different worlds.
“Then when will he be back?” Changqing asked.
“It’ll take around six to seven days,” Guan Ying said.
Changqing became listless.
Six to seven days? That long.
Without him around, what would happen to Robben?
Perhaps he was taken to the Song’s.
Coming out from the hospital, Changqing wasn’t in very high spirits, and Ruan Yang also noticed. When she was fastening her seatbelt, she sighed deliberately and said, “What to do, it looks like you’re really getting a divorce. Dr. Song didn’t even tell you he was going to Switzerland.”
Changqing turned her head to the side to look out the window and after she spaced out for a while on her own, she suddenly huffed angrily, “So be it. What’s the big deal with getting a divorce? He thinks he’s a stalk of an aloof flower, mocking me from time to time and not even saying anything sweet to me. Every day, he only cares about his patients and his patients alone. He’s just a stupid medical maniac. If he doesn’t have me, other women might not even be able to accept him.”
Ruan Yang applauded her. “Well said. However, you could even like him despite the way he treats you? It looks like you’re really lacking a man. When I come back from my holiday, I’ll introduce you to some quality men.”
Changqing was ridiculed to the point that she became speechless.
The second day, Ruan Yang flew to the Maldives.
Being under the scorching sun every day to shoot and record programs, Changqing felt unwell all over every time she thought of Ruan Yang spending sweet days with her mysterious boyfriend then Song Chuyi being free and easy in Switzerland, which was as beautiful as a fairy tale.
Especially whenever she thought of how handsome Song Chuyi was and that he could have a romantic affair overseas with a blonde foreign girl, Chuyi would bite into a watermelon with big mouthfuls full of hatred.
“Watch your image, watch your image,” Wen Tong reminded her anxiously.
Changqing really couldn’t care less about her image at all.
At night, Zuo Qian booked the entire theatre to treat the production team of “Challenge to the End” to a movie. It was a newly released American film.
Less than 10 minutes into the film, the male and female leads kissed and within 20 minutes, they were rolling around in bed already.
Changqing told Zuo Qian with dissatisfaction, “Say, do you think those foreigners are all so liberal? They only met once, yet they’re already in bed. It’s too preposterous.
Her pair of dark, amorous eyes were glistening angrily in the theatre. Zuo Qian curled his lips slightly and said softly, “The foreigners are indeed a little different from us Chinese in these aspects.”
Zhu Jia, who was at the side, threw a few pieces of popcorn into her mouth. “Actually, some Chinese are the same too. To the younger generation, a one night stand is like popcorn.”
She paused for a while and suddenly said softly by Changqing’s ear, “I heard that when our overall director went to France to study before, he also had a one night stand with a woman and at that time, there were others from the production team who saw it with their own eyes...”
Changqing took a sneak peek at Mei Zong, who was sitting not far away. His face was uneven due to his acne scars and she took a big gulp.
The foreign chicks really had a heavy taste, not even letting someone like Mei Zong off. Then quality ones like Song Chuyi must’ve been pounced on already.
She took a large sip of her drink and wasn’t in the mood to carry on with the movie.
After the movie and supper, it was already very late. Changqing went back to the Yan’s.
Yan Lei was already asleep.
When Changqing was taking off her clothes, she saw two sets of male clothing in her wardrobe and felt a mixture of emotions.
On top of that, Changqing had a few drinks during supper and a sudden urge rushed up. She took a pair of scissors and cut Song Chuyi’s clothes up into pieces.
After that, she went to shower feeling better.
After her shower, it was 12 but she didn’t feel sleepy so she switched her computer on, wanting to watch the Korean drama series which was currently very popular.
However, when she keyed in her password, it showed that she had the wrong password.
She was astounded and suddenly recalled that she had yet to use her computer after the time Song Chuyi decoded her password. Therefore, did he secretly change her password?
Now how was she to log in?
Just when she was feeling distressed, Changqing suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of joy spreading from her heart.
Yes, that way she would have an excuse to give him a call.
He was the one who changed her password.
It wasn’t that she wanted to call him.
Changqing bit her lower lip as she dialled Song Chuchu’s number.
She thought it should be noon over there in Switzerland currently.
Switzerland. Song Chuyi was touring a research lab with a few top neurosurgeons from other countries.
When the phone rang, it disrupted their discussion abruptly.
He excused himself and took his phone out to check and when he saw the caller ID, he was stunned for a few seconds before picking up. “What’s wrong?”
Two simple words that carried distance and indifference.
At the other end of the line, Changqing’s nervous heart suddenly felt waves of coldness. She said uncomfortably, “You changed my computer’s password and you’re asking me what’s wrong?”
Song Chuyi was in a daze and remained silent.
Changqing whined, “Tell me my password quickly, I want to use it.”
Song Chuyi rubbed his glabella and suddenly regretted it. Did he take the wrong medicine to change the password to that?
