CHAPTER 279: CHAPTER 279: NOT WAITING FOR HIM

The person who could be so close to him, and cling to him like this, without thinking, it could only be Rong Qingqing.

Did she fall asleep by his bedside?

Shen Jue touched her face with his other hand, feeling a bit distressed.

The once-annoying woman, now didn’t even dare to return to her room.

She’d rather sleep by his side when tired than go back to her room.

At this moment, Shen Jue’s door was gently knocked.

Nanny Zhao asked at the door, "Young Master, are you awake? Is Miss Qingqing with you? Young Master Rong Ming has arrived, waiting downstairs to see Miss Qingqing."

Rong Qingqing heard the voice, groggily woke up, rubbed her eyes, and looked up to ask Shen Jue, "Who did Nanny Zhao say has arrived?"

"Your cousin, Rong Ming," Shen Jue replied.

"Oh." Rong Qingqing nodded, stood up, and then twisted her somewhat stiff neck, "Then you continue sleeping, I’m going downstairs."

Before Shen Jue could say anything, Rong Qingqing left his room.

"Miss Qingqing, hasn’t the young master woken up yet? It’s twelve, time for lunch." Nanny Zhao explained, "The old master came over to ask everyone to his place for fish."

The door wasn’t fully closed, and Shen Jue heard Nanny Zhao’s words.

"I’ll get up now." Shen Jue instructed Rong Qingqing, "You go downstairs and chat with Rong Ming, give me five minutes, and we’ll head over together."

"Alright." Rong Qingqing agreed, then followed Nanny Zhao downstairs.

Downstairs, Rong Ming was talking to Guo Lan. When he saw Rong Qingqing come out of the elevator, he immediately stood up and called out to Rong Qingqing, "Sis, how are you?"

"I’m doing well. But what about you, why are you not in class and came to Shen Manor?" Rong Qingqing asked.

"There were no classes after I finished my exam in the morning, so I immediately took a cab to Shen Manor to see you." Rong Ming walked over to Rong Qingqing, "Why do you still have claustrophobia? I didn’t know you had this condition before."

Just when Rong Qingqing didn’t know how to explain, she heard Rong Ming speak again.

"It must be my lack of attention that I didn’t notice." Rong Ming felt a bit guilty.

"It’s none of your business. You’re so young, thinking about so many things, how can you study well with so much on your mind?" Rong Qingqing rubbed the head of the eighteen-year-old young man, "Don’t worry, no matter what, I’m not at a disadvantage."

"I know, Rong Jiaojiao was taken back home, locked up in the storage room crying. Ma Li, that woman, even called me just now, asking me to plead for Rong Jiaojiao."

Rong Ming sneered, "Do you think she’s stupid or not? I’m too busy watching her make a fool of herself, yet she expects me to plead for her daughter?"

Rong Ming scoffed, "Asking me to plead for the daughter of a mistress? How ridiculous."

After speaking, Rong Ming looked up again at Rong Qingqing, "Grandpa Shen and Grandpa are waiting for us to have fish soup, let’s go, we shouldn’t keep Grandpa waiting."

"Wait a bit longer, Shen Jue will come downstairs shortly, and we’ll go over together." Rong Qingqing pointed upstairs, "Wait for him for five minutes."

Upon hearing this, Rong Ming’s expression changed.

"Don’t wait for him, let him make his own way, this is Shen Manor, it’s not like he doesn’t know the way."

Saying so, Rong Ming pulled Rong Qingqing, and they left.

Rong Qingqing exclaimed, but before she could say anything and seeing Rong Ming unhappy, she didn’t insist on waiting for Shen Jue.

However, Rong Qingqing had a premonition. She had promised Shen Jue to wait for him downstairs.

When Shen Jue comes down and finds her not there, knowing she didn’t wait for him, Shen Jue is sure to be angry.
