Chapter 122: Met Ji Qingyue
Feng Jingxin especially loved Christmas.
In the past, she would decorate the Christmas tree at home with her every year.
They would also come out to shop on Christmas Day, feeling the strong Christmas atmosphere on the street with the people around them.
But ever since Feng Jingxin went abroad with Feng Tingshen, she had never spent Christmas with her again.
No, it should be said that she had completely stopped spending Christmas.
Although she had already decided to let go.
But after all, she was the daughter she had carried for ten months and raised herself for so many years.
Now, on the bustling street, looking at everything around her, the bits and pieces of the past still surged into her heart, disturbing her peace.
"Miss Rong?"
Rong Ci turned her head.
It was Ji Qingyue.
She nodded politely: "Mr. Ji."
"Why are you here alone?"
Rong Ci suppressed the emotions in her eyes and smiled: "Came out to buy some greenery for home."
Ji Qingyue came over, actually because he saw Rong Ci standing alone in the crowd not far away, her figure and expression lonely.
Seemingly with sorrow that couldn't be dissolved.
He didn't understand Rong Ci.
Didn't know what exactly could make her so sorrowful.
He asked: "Want to drink something?"
Rong Ci shook her head: "I'll buy something and then prepare to go home." Saying this, she politely asked: "Why are you here alone?"
Ji Qingyue said: "Came out to eat with a friend, but he had something to do and left early."
Ji Qingyue heard that she came here temporarily and might not know that there would be an activity here later, so he said: "There will be a large fireworks show here in a while, do you want to stay and watch it?"
He asked this, not intending to ask her out.
Just informing her.
Rong Ci smiled: "So that's how it is, no wonder there seem to be so many people here."
Rong Ci and Ji Qingyue weren't familiar, and just as she was about to speak, the words she wanted to say stopped when she saw three figures suddenly appear in the crowd.
It was Feng Tingshen, Lin Wu, and Feng Jingxin.
They were walking toward the square.
Seemingly also specifically here to watch the fireworks show.
Ji Qingyue saw her expression, turned his head to look, and saw Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu, and a little girl.
He was stunned.
Before, he had heard Ren Jifeng say that for some time, a rumor had been circulating in the circle: Feng Tingshen already had a child.
Over these years, there had also been rumors in the circle that Feng Tingshen was already married.
But this news had never been confirmed.
True or false, many people didn't know.
Regarding the rumor that Feng Tingshen already had a child, many people actually felt it might be hearsay.
He had thought so at the time too.
Now seeing Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu bringing a little girl out to play on such a holiday, he was also quite surprised.
However, even so, it didn't mean that the little girl was Feng Tingshen's daughter, right?
And Lin Wu was said to be only about twenty-five years old, and it was said she had been studying abroad before.
She couldn't possibly be studying for a master's and PhD while pregnant and giving birth, right?
This wasn't reasonable.
Thinking of this, Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu's figures had already disappeared into the crowd.
He looked at Rong Ci.
Rong Ci had also already withdrawn her gaze.
Ji Qingyue remembered that she and Lin Wu didn't get along, but her expression was a bit strange when she saw Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu just now...
He asked: "Want to go over and walk around?"
Fireworks show?
Rong Ci had originally really wanted to watch it.
But now...
However, because of Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu, specifically not watching the fireworks show she wanted to see would be counterproductive.
Thinking of this, she smiled and said: "Okay."
They followed the crowd over.
Just as they walked to the fence, brilliant fireworks exploded on the opposite bank, drawing a burst of exclamations and laughter from the surroundings, but it was soon drowned out by the loud noise of the fireworks.
Many people at the scene were taking photos or making wishes.
Seeing Rong Ci just watching silently without any other actions, he asked: "Want me to help you take a video?"
Rong Ci shook her head: "No need, I'll just watch."
Ji Qingyue didn't ask further.
Just at this moment, Lin Wu looked over toward their side.
They were several meters apart, but Ji Qingyue was tall and had an outstanding appearance, so she saw him at a glance.
Having met Ji Qingyue several times, they could be considered acquaintances.
Lin Wu was thinking about whether to tell Feng Tingshen, who was holding Feng Jingxin, to go over and greet him, when she saw Rong Ci, who had just been obscured by Ji Qingyue's body.
Seeing Rong Ci, the smile on her face sank abruptly.
How could they appear here together?
Such activities were usually watched together by family or couples.
Between Rong Ci and Ji Qingyue, except for dancing together at the banquet before, there was basically no intersection.
How could they—
She looked a few more times and found that there were indeed only Ji Qingyue and Rong Ci.
"Auntie Wu Wu, look, it's so beautiful!"
At this moment, Feng Jingxin noticed Lin Wu looking elsewhere.
Not wanting her to miss the wonderful part, she bent down, leaned into Lin Wu's ear, and shared happily and loudly.
Lin Wu turned her head back: "Mm, Auntie sees it."
Feng Tingshen looked over, but found that she seemed a bit distracted: "What's wrong?"
Lin Wu hurriedly said: "Nothing."
Feng Jingxin's attention was all attracted by the fireworks show on the opposite bank, and she didn't specifically look toward Rong Ci's side, so she didn't notice Rong Ci.
When Feng Tingshen turned his head to talk to Lin Wu, he happened to see Rong Ci.
Because Ji Qingyue was talking to her, Rong Ci's gaze was also toward their side.
Their gazes met across the air.
Rong Ci paused, pursed her lips, and withdrew her gaze.
At this moment, Ji Qingyue turned back, watched the fireworks normally, and his side profile appeared in Feng Tingshen's eyes.
Although it was only a side profile, Feng Tingshen recognized him at a glance.
Lin Wu saw that Feng Tingshen noticed Rong Ci and Ji Qingyue, and she said: "They actually also came here together to watch the fireworks show..."
"Mm."
Feng Tingshen responded flatly and withdrew his gaze.
Seeing Feng Tingshen so indifferent, not caring at all, Lin Wu curled her lips and smiled.
However...
Thinking that Ji Qingyue would appear here with Rong Ci, the corners of her mouth that had curled up sank again, and she looked toward Rong Ci's side again.
Ji Qingyue also happened to look over.
Seeing that Lin Wu seemed to have noticed him, he nodded at her.
Lin Wu smiled and nodded in response.
They were acquaintances, and logically speaking, he should have gone over to greet Lin Wu.
But thinking that Rong Ci and Lin Wu seemed to have quite deep misunderstandings, he didn't go over.
Lin Wu watched, furrowed her brows, and slowly withdrew her gaze.
Except for that one glance, Feng Tingshen didn't look toward Rong Ci's side again.
As for Feng Jingxin, she was holding his phone, watching and taking photos, laughing very happily, completely unaware that Rong Ci was not far from her.
