Chapter 12: Is it because Rong Ci is here that you don't want to return to the room?

The old lady was a bit helpless, feeling that Rong Ci was just not strong enough, too submissive and indulgent toward Feng Feng Tingshen, missing many opportunities in vain, which led to so many years passing without any progress between them.

But since Rong Ci said so, she didn't force it.

The meal officially started, and everyone chatted while eating. The atmosphere was quite good.

Rong Ci rarely spoke, lowering her head to eat quietly.

It had been more than ten minutes since Feng Feng Tingshen entered the door, and the couple hadn't said a word to each other.

It was even that there was no communication at all throughout the process.

This was the norm between their couple.

Everyone was actually used to it and didn't see anything unusual.

When Feng Feng Jingxin wanted to eat something, Rong Ci used to take care of her, but now she was used to opening her mouth to Feng Feng Tingshen, letting Feng Feng Tingshen pick it for her.

However, when she wanted to eat big shrimp, she looked at Rong Ci.

Because in the past, when eating shrimp, Rong Ci would take the initiative to peel the shells for her and Feng Feng Tingshen.

"Mom, I want to eat big shrimp."

Rong Ci wanted to divorce, and she didn't want to fight with Feng Feng Tingshen for Feng Feng Jingxin's custody.

Even so, Feng Feng Jingxin was her daughter after all. She had the obligation and responsibility to treat her well and satisfy her needs as much as possible.

So, now that Feng Feng Jingxin wanted her to peel shrimp for her, Rong Ci responded: "Okay."

She put down her chopsticks and started peeling the shrimp. The old lady looked at her hand and suddenly paused: "Xiao Ci, where is your ring?"

As soon as she spoke, everyone—including Feng Feng Tingshen, looked at Rong Ci's hand.

After marriage, although the marriage life between her and Feng Feng Tingshen was as cold as ice, Rong Ci had always worn the wedding ring prepared by Feng Old Madam for them.

On the contrary, Feng Feng Tingshen had never worn it once.

The wedding ring that belonged to him didn't know where he threw it.

Over the years, Rong Ci wore the ring wherever she went, reluctant to take it off.

Everyone was used to it.

Feng Feng Tinglin had often satirized her because of this over the years.

She didn't wear the wedding ring today. At first, no one noticed it. After all, everyone wouldn't stare at her hand for no reason.

So, if it weren't for hearing the old lady say so, others really wouldn't have noticed this point.

Rong Ci's action of peeling shrimp paused imperceptibly, and then she said calmly: "I left in a hurry this morning and left it at home."

In fact, the ring had been taken off when she prepared the divorce agreement.

She put it in the envelope together with the divorce agreement.

However, she and Feng Feng Tingshen hadn't officially divorced yet, and she knew the old lady would definitely not agree to their divorce. If she mentioned the divorce between her and Feng Feng Tingshen now, it was estimated that she and Feng Feng Tingshen wouldn't be able to divorce for the time being.

Therefore, Rong Ci didn't tell the old lady the truth.

The old lady listened and smiled: "So that's how it is."

Afterward, everyone ate as usual.

After the meal, everyone moved to the living room to eat fruit and desserts while chatting.

The old lady always wanted to matchmake Rong Ci and Feng Feng Tingshen.

She let Rong Ci and Feng Feng Tingshen sit together again.

Feng Feng Tingshen still didn't give Rong Ci a look.

Rong Ci didn't want to sit over, but it was not good to keep refusing the old lady, so she sat down beside Feng Feng Tingshen.

This was the first time they had sat so close in these few months.

Rong Ci could clearly smell the familiar faint men's perfume on Feng Feng Tingshen.

But the current her was as calm as water, just eating the fruit pudding in front of her in small bites, without the intention of trying to take the initiative to talk to Feng Feng Tingshen.

The old lady was very satisfied, looking at her and Feng Feng Tingshen and smiling: "Really a match."

One was tall and handsome, the other was quiet, gentle, and extremely beautiful. Looking at the appearance, they were indeed a match.

But it was only a match in appearance.

If talking about other conditions, Rong Ci was still far behind.

However, seeing the old lady so happy, although Feng Feng Tinglin and Sang Qian didn't think so, they didn't sweep the old lady's interest to her face.

That night, they stayed at the old house overnight according to the old lady's wishes.

After eight o'clock, Feng Feng Tingshen and the old lady went to the study to chat about work, and Feng Feng Jingxin pulled Rong Ci's hand and said she wanted to take a bath and sleep.

Rong Ci went upstairs with her to take a bath.

Sitting in the small bathtub, Feng Feng Jingxin looked at Rong Ci and asked tentatively: "Mom, are you... busy tomorrow morning?"

Although she could make a concession and let Mom accompany her to school tomorrow morning.

But in her heart, she still hoped that the person accompanying her would be Aunt Aunt Wuwu.

So, if Mom wasn't free tomorrow morning, that would be great.

Rong Ci shook her head: "Not busy, why?"

Feng Feng Jingxin heard this, pursed her small mouth disappointedly, and said: "Nothing."

She didn't say it, and Rong Ci didn't ask.

After Feng Feng Jingxin finished her bath, Rong Ci gently blew her hair.

Just after blowing it dry, Feng Feng Jingxin said she wanted to sleep.

Rong Ci saw her eyes staring at the phone, knowing she still wanted to play with the phone, and said: "Look for a while and then sleep, can't look for too long, know?"

"I know."

Since Mom was free tomorrow, she had to tell Aunt Aunt Wuwu about this.

Feng Feng Jingxin was afraid that Lin Wu would be sad and disappointed if she knew, so she was thinking about how to tell Lin Wu in her heart.

She was already annoyed in her heart, and hearing Rong Ci nagging so much, she became even more impatient, pushing her out of the door: "Mom, you go out, I will turn off the phone and sleep after nine-thirty."

Feng Feng Jingxin was indeed self-disciplined in this regard.

Rong Ci listened, said good night to her, and left the room.

Feng Feng Jingxin immediately closed the door and locked it.

Rong Ci had just taken a step, and she naturally heard the sound of Feng Feng Jingxin locking the door.

Rong Ci didn't think she was guarding against others.

The only one she was guarding against was her.

She was guarding against her, it was estimated that she wanted to discuss something with Lin Wu.

The facts were indeed so.

Feng Feng Jingxin just locked the door, ran back to turn on the phone, found Lin Wu's WeChat, and sent a message to Lin Wu: 【Aunt Aunt Wuwu...】

What they chatted about, Rong Ci had no way of knowing.

She didn't think carefully, and was too lazy to think carefully.

She turned and returned to the bedroom.

The old lady liked her and would often call her back for meals.

Over the years, she had quite a lot of daily necessities here.

She found a set of pajamas and entered the bathroom to take a bath.

After taking a bath, she sat on the side where she often slept. Seeing that it was still early, she picked up the book she had previously put in her bag and read it quietly.

She didn't know how long it had been, she felt her eyes a bit painful, closed the book and checked the time, only to find that it was already eleven-thirty.

But Feng Feng Tingshen hadn't returned yet.

Actually, even if Feng Feng Tingshen felt that she had designed him at the beginning, in the third year after marriage, although Feng Feng Tingshen was still not very close to her, the state between them had improved compared to before.

But not long after that, Lin Wu appeared.

He fell in love with Lin Wu and started to keep his distance from her again.

From then on, he almost never touched her again.

So, she didn't know if Feng Feng Tingshen didn't intend to return to the room because it was so late, or if he had things to be busy with.

While thinking about these, Rong Ci left the bedroom unconsciously and went downstairs.

At this time, a voice came from not far away.

"Everyone is asleep, it's so late and you don't return to the room, is it because Rong Ci is here that you don't want to return to the room?" ===== CHAPTER 13 =====
