Chapter 437 When did you become so indecisive?
After Mei Mei fell asleep.
Sheng Tingchen placed her in the master bedroom.
immediately.
He went downstairs and looked at the woman sitting quietly on the sofa watching TV. Her gaze was fixed on the screen, and he didn't know if she was actually watching anything.
Sheng Tingchen stepped forward, sat down beside her, and naturally pulled her into his arms, holding her hand in his palm.
The two remained silent, neither of them uttering a word.
Until the TV series finishes airing.
Sheng Tingchen looked at the motionless woman in his arms, his eyes seemingly unfocused as he stared at a certain spot.
He tightened his grip on her hand, looked down at her, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
For a long time.
Rong Shu slowly spoke, calling out, "Sheng Tingchen."
"Um?"
"Where is Orisa?"
I haven't seen her since I got back.
Sheng Tingchen: "It has already been sent back to Australia."
Rong Shu didn't intend to ask any more questions.
The atmosphere quieted down again.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Rong Shu slowly said, "I've already pressed my fingerprint on the divorce agreement." Her voice was devoid of any emotional fluctuation, as still and undisturbed as a stagnant pool of water.
Sheng Tingchen tightened his grip on Rong Shu's hand. "Why is it a fingerprint, not a signature?"
Rong Shu said, "There's no difference, and I don't need your compensation."
A night with howling winds.
The living room was quiet, but the lights were bright.
The man lowered his head, blocking the light, dimming a small patch of light that outlined his perfect profile, his calm and composed expression, and his dark eyes as deep as a bottomless pool.
"Is divorce really the choice you want? Have you thought about whether you can be happy after the divorce? On the day you returned to Australia, Meimei felt unwell, probably because her mother felt the same way."
Rong Shu remained silent, her expression blank.
Sheng Tingchen reached out and stroked her hair, saying, "Given your current situation, it's not a good time to make a decision."
"The divorce agreement wasn't prepared by you; you're not the kind of person who will always take action once you've made a decision."
Sheng Tingchen did not deny it. "I am also a human being, and I will always make decisions that are not appropriate at the right time. Divorce is not the best solution for you in your current situation, and it is the same for me. So let time do its work. The most important thing now is for you to recover your health as soon as possible and not to think about anything else."
Rong Shu smiled bitterly and said, "Sheng Tingchen, when did you become so indecisive? You've really become the person you hate the most. This is truly your retribution."
He has always been decisive and ruthless, and he will never let anyone change his mind; he only ever thinks of himself.
Sheng Tingchen rested his chin on the woman's head, his voice deep and resonant, "Perhaps!"
Rong Shu's voice was filled with deep helplessness, "But Sheng Tingchen, I'm really tired."
As they were talking.
Tears unconsciously slid down her cheeks.
Sheng Tingchen raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Then take good care of yourself first. At least wait until you recover slowly. Your brother will be fine."
Rong Shu remained silent and did not speak again.
In the large, quiet living room, the sound of the television was exceptionally clear.
Sheng Tingchen quietly held the woman in his arms.
Time passed second by second.
Sheng Tingchen carried the woman upstairs to their room.
Rong Shu was unusually awake at this moment and had no desire to sleep.
"Then let's read a book."
Sheng Tingchen took a copy of "Dream of the Red Chamber" from the bookshelf and handed it to her. "I just need to take care of some work. Take a look first, and if there's anything else you want to read, go find it yourself."
Rong Shu reached out and took the book from his hand. She had read this book countless times when she was a student, and she turned to a page.
Sheng Tingchen turned around and went back to his desk to start working.
In the quiet study.
Silence.
After finishing a task, Sheng Tingchen looked up at the woman sitting on the sofa, intently flipping through the book in her hands.
The woman was so engrossed in watching that she didn't notice the man's gaze at all.
Sheng Tingchen looked away.
An hour and a half later.
Even after he finished most of his work and rubbed his temples, Rong Shu was still flipping through the pages, completely absorbed.
Sheng Tingchen walked up to her without her noticing until the book in her hand was taken away. Only then did Rong Shu belatedly realize what was happening and look at the man in front of her.
All that could be heard was the man's teasing tone: "He's quite studious."
Rong Shu, "Give me the book."
Sheng Tingchen glanced at how many pages she had read, placed the bookmark on that page, and said, "Read it again tomorrow. Get some rest."
"I can't sleep."
"Then let's watch it while lying in bed."
Rong Shu stood up, took the copy of "Dream of the Red Chamber" from his hand, and walked sideways toward the door.
Sheng Tingchen hadn't finished his work yet, so he didn't go out with her and watched her leave.
He finished his work at midnight.
When he returned to the bedroom, he saw Rong Shu leaning against the bed still reading. He walked over and took the book from her hands. "Alright, it's late. Lie down and rest."
Rong Shu said, "I can't sleep until I finish reading it."
Sheng Tingchen glanced at the book in his hand, which was already up to chapter forty-eight. "I still have to take Meimei to school tomorrow morning. I hope she can get up on time."
He put the book on the sofa, then took out her medicine from the bedside table drawer, poured her some water, and brought it to her. "Take your medicine so you can sleep well."
Rong Shu glanced at it, reached out and took the medicine, tilted her head back and put it in her mouth to swallow with water.
After she finished eating.
Sheng Tingchen reached for the cup. "Lie down and go to sleep!"
Rong Shu didn't say anything more. She lay down beside Mei Mei, holding her soft little body, which made her feel at ease.
After washing up and getting ready, Sheng Tingchen lay down beside the woman and slowly closed his eyes to fall asleep.
That night.
Rong Shu slept until dawn.
After breakfast.
Sheng Tingchen and Rong Shu took Meimei to kindergarten.
They happened to run into Jiang Yu.
"Xiao Shu, let's go shopping!"
Sheng Tingchen took his card from his pocket and handed it to her. "It'll be good to go shopping. Buy whatever you want!"
When Rong Shu saw the card the man handed her, she suddenly remembered seeing An Qingyue holding this card in New York.
Her expression changed instantly. She didn't take it, and said coldly, "I don't need it."
That's all.
He turned and left.
Jiang Yu was still thinking about how Sheng Tingchen had given Rong Shu the black card, and she hadn't yet realized what was going on with Rong Shu's sudden change.
She turned and followed him.
Sheng Tingchen said, "Miss Jiang."
Jiang Yu paused, turned around and looked at the man with an exceptionally serious expression. Her heart skipped a beat, and she heard him say, "Her condition is unstable right now. If you stay with her, you can talk more about the child. I hope Miss Jiang understands what should and shouldn't be said."
Faced with the man's sudden assertiveness, she couldn't help but feel nervous. She secretly took a breath, "Of course I don't want to see Xiaoshu get hurt or upset."
That's all.
She quickly caught up with him.
