~7 min read 1,332 words

Rong Ci was not surprised to see her and reached out to touch her head: "Did you come here after school?"

"Yeah!" Feng Jingxin was very happy to see her, and as she spoke, she called out to Old Lady Rong: "Great-grandmother."

Just as Old Lady Rong responded, Feng Tingshen walked out of the ward.

Seeing them arrive, he nodded at them.

Old Lady Rong's expression was cold, but she didn't say anything.

Rong Ci only glanced at him once before withdrawing her gaze.

Seeing that Feng Jingxin seemed to have something she wanted to tell her, she said, "Mom and your great-grandmother will go in to see your grandmother first."

"Oh..."

Hearing this, Feng Jingxin had to temporarily set aside her desire to confide, reached out to hold Rong Ci's hand, and went into the ward with her.

Feng Tingshen took the flowers and fruit basket that Rong Ci and the others had brought, followed behind them, and also returned to the ward.

Seeing Rong Ci and Old Lady Rong arrive, Old Lady Feng smiled with some pleasant surprise: "Why did you come?"

Seeing that she had limited mobility and was trying to sit up while enduring pain, Old Lady Rong hurriedly stopped her and said, "You still have the nerve to say that; you didn't even tell us when such a big thing happened."

At this point, Old Lady Feng's smile faded a little. She glanced at Feng Tingshen, who was personally pouring water for Rong Ci and Old Lady Rong, and said, "I have no face to see you all..."

Rong Ci and Old Lady Rong took the water handed over by Feng Tingshen.

Only then did Old Lady Rong say, "This is a matter between them; how can we blame you?"

"But I—"

Seeing that Feng Jingxin was still here, Old Lady Feng found it difficult to speak too clearly.

Old Lady Rong patted the back of her hand: "I know everything."

Old Lady Feng and Old Lady Rong exchanged pleasantries, and then Old Lady Feng turned her gaze to Rong Ci.

Since the last parent-child activity at school, Feng Jingxin had not seen Rong Ci again.

Therefore, she was currently clinging to Rong Ci's side, her body squeezed between her legs, wanting to climb onto her.

Rong Ci had no choice but to put down her water glass and hold her on her lap to sit.

Seeing Old Lady Feng looking over, she called out, "Grandma."

"Hey." Old Lady Feng beamed with joy.

With Feng Jingxin here, it was not appropriate for them to discuss too much about the matters between Rong Ci and Feng Tingshen.

Old Lady Rong and Rong Ci talked more about Old Lady Feng's current situation.

Old Lady Feng explained in detail, and upon learning that she would have surgery tomorrow, Old Lady Rong said, "Then I will come to accompany you tomorrow."

"Then I will trouble you, my old sister."

With Old Lady Rong coming to keep her company and talk, she would also be in better spirits.

After they chatted for a while, Old Lady Feng remembered something and said, "You haven't eaten yet, right? How about this, Tingshen, you make arrangements, and with—"

"No need." Old Lady Rong interrupted her and said, "Xiao Ci and I ate before coming over."

After finishing, she said coldly to Feng Tingshen: "If you and Miss Xin Xin haven't eaten yet, go eat first."

Feng Jingxin hadn't eaten with Rong Ci for a long time. Hearing this, she hugged Rong Ci's neck and said, "Mom, I miss you so much, just come with us."

Recalling the scenes she saw last night and hearing Feng Jingxin say she missed her, Rong Ci lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, refusing: "Mom worked all day and is tired; I don't want to walk around. You guys go eat."

With Rong Ci saying this, Feng Jingxin really couldn't ask for anything more from her.

However, nestled in Rong Ci's arms and smelling the familiar scent on her, she couldn't bear to get down.

She looked at Feng Tingshen, who was sitting to the side watching them: "Dad, I want to eat here. Can we have someone pack it and bring it back here to eat?"

Feng Tingshen said, "Okay."

Feng Jingxin became happy and hugged Rong Ci even tighter, refusing to let go.

Old Lady Rong and Old Lady Feng still had plenty of topics to chat about.

Rong Ci sat to the side, only occasionally interjecting a word or two.

After a while, Feng Jingxin felt tired and said to Rong Ci, "Mom, when will you be done with your work?"

Rong Ci didn't want Old Lady Rong to hear, so she picked her up, went to the sofa on the other side of the ward to sit down, and then said, "I'm not sure, but if there are no surprises, Mom should be getting busier and busier."

"Ah?"

Feng Jingxin didn't expect it to be like this, and she was extremely disappointed.

"Then when will you have time to take me skiing, Mom?" She still remembered this matter.

Rong Ci thought for a moment and said, "Next month."

"Really?"

"Yeah," Rong Ci said, "When Mom has time, I will tell you."

"Okay!" Feng Jingxin became happy.

Remembering what happened last night, Feng Jingxin hurriedly asked, "By the way, Mom, did you go out shopping last night?"

Rong Ci paused, but still said, "Yes."

"Ah? So, the person I saw last night was really you, Mom?"

"Possibly."

When Rong Ci finished speaking, she noticed that Feng Tingshen was looking at her from the side.

Feng Jingxin also hadn't gone shopping with Rong Ci for a long time, although there was a period before when she felt that just shopping was boring.

But now that she thought about it, she actually missed it quite a bit.

She said, "Then next time when Mom has time, take me shopping too, okay? We also have to go to the game center to play bumper cars."

Rong Ci withdrew her gaze: "Okay."

Feng Jingxin kept talking to her. At this time, Feng Tingshen picked up the water glass Rong Ci had just used, poured out the water that had already gone cold, poured her a fresh cup of warm water, and placed it on the coffee table in front of her.

Rong Ci watched and thanked him in a flat tone.

Feng Tingshen: "You're welcome."

He also took the opportunity to sit down on the sofa to the side.

Old Lady Feng and Old Lady Rong had been chatting perfectly well, but seeing the scene of the family of three sitting together, Old Lady Feng stopped the topic she was on.

Old Lady Rong followed her gaze, but showed no reaction, and immediately withdrew her gaze.

Old Lady Feng sighed: "You say—"

"Since they have made their decision, don't force them anymore," Old Lady Rong said.

Old Lady Feng heard this and sighed again.

Before long, the meal Feng Tingshen ordered was delivered.

A table full of dishes, obviously not just for two people.

Feng Tingshen said to Rong Ci, "Let's eat a little together."

Rong Ci saw that half of the dishes were ones she loved to eat.

Moreover, Feng Tingshen had even had someone help her arrange the dishes on her side.

Next, Feng Tingshen said again, "Miss Xin Xin, go call Great-grandmother over to eat."

"Oh."

Only then did Feng Jingxin get down from Rong Ci, go over to pull Old Lady Rong's hand, and call her over to eat.

Old Lady Feng also urged, "Go over and eat a little, otherwise I'll be too embarrassed to let you come back to keep me company tomorrow."

Old Lady Rong had no choice but to go over and sit down at the dining table.

Seeing that what was placed in front of Rong Ci were all the dishes she loved, Old Lady Rong paused and glanced at Feng Tingshen.
