Chapter 127

~7 min read 1,339 words

Rong Ci was very calm.

It was the same old saying.

With Feng Tingshen's memory, being able to remember these things was nothing.

The reason Feng Tingshen prepared these was likely just to thank them for coming to visit Old Lady Feng.

It didn't mean anything else.

After finishing the meal, Rong Ci and Old Lady Rong sat for another hour or so before preparing to leave.

Seeing that it was getting late, Old Lady Feng didn't keep them any longer and said to Feng Tingshen, "You and Miss Xin Xin should go back early too."

"Okay," Feng Tingshen said, "I will come to see you tomorrow morning."

Rong Ci, Feng Tingshen, and the four of them left the ward together.

After entering the elevator, Feng Tingshen asked, "Did you drive here yourself?"

Rong Ci: "Yes."

Feng Tingshen didn't say anything more, but Feng Jingxin remembered something and hurriedly asked Rong Ci, "Then Mom, are you not going home tonight either?"

Rong Ci: "Yes, Mom is taking your grandmother home and plans to stay the night at your great-grandmother's house, so I won't be going back."

"Then I want to go to Great-grandmother's house to stay the night too!"

Although Feng Jingxin was closer to Feng Tingshen now, in Old Lady Rong's heart, Feng Jingxin was Rong Ci's daughter no matter what.

Hearing Feng Jingxin say she wanted to go to the Rong family, before Rong Ci could answer, Old Lady Rong said with a kind face, "Good, good, good."

Since Old Lady Rong had already said so, Rong Ci couldn't really say anything, but...

She reminded her, "You don't have a change of clothes at your grandmother's place."

Before Feng Jingxin went abroad with Feng Tingshen, she often brought Feng Jingxin back to the Rong family. At that time, in her room at the Rong house, half a closet was filled with clothes that she and her aunt had prepared for Feng Jingxin.

However, in the past two years, the number of times Feng Jingxin returned to the Rong family with her had dropped sharply, and children grow fast, so she and her aunt, He Mingxue, hadn't added new clothes for her every so often like before.

Therefore, there were no clothes suitable for her to wear at the Rong house now.

"Ah?" Feng Jingxin was disappointed, "Then—"

At this time, Feng Tingshen spoke up: "I will call someone to send some clothes over in a while."

Rong Ci paused and didn't say anything more.

Feng Jingxin, however, was very happy: "Yay, I can sleep with Mom today!"

After leaving the hospital, Feng Jingxin happily got into the car with Rong Ci, while Feng Tingshen walked around to his car to get Feng Jingxin's schoolbag and hand it to her.

Feng Jingxin happily took it: "Thank you, Dad!"

Feng Tingshen rubbed her head and glanced at Rong Ci in the driver's seat. Rong Ci didn't look back and said to Feng Jingxin, "Miss Xin Xin, say goodbye to Dad."

Feng Jingxin: "Goodbye, Dad."

"Goodbye."

As soon as Feng Tingshen finished speaking, Rong Ci rolled up the car window, turned the steering wheel, and drove away.

When they returned to the Rong house, Feng Jingxin's clothes had already been delivered.

As Feng Jingxin ran upstairs, Old Lady Rong said to Rong Ci, "The fact that he doesn't restrict you and Miss Xin Xin from being close is still acceptable."

She had been worried that since custody was with Feng Tingshen, he wouldn't let Rong Ci see the child.

If that went on for a long time, the mother and daughter would definitely grow distant.

For a mother, that would be truly too cruel.

Rong Ci didn't explain anything else to Old Lady Rong, only said "Yeah," and after telling her to rest early, she went upstairs.

The next morning.

The Rong family and Feng Jingxin were all eating breakfast downstairs.

At this time, a notification came from the security booth outside, saying they had visitors.

Rong Ci took a look and discovered it was Feng Tingshen's car.

Feng Jingxin also leaned over, and upon seeing Feng Tingshen, said, "Hey, it's Dad! Mom, hurry and let Dad in."

Rong Ci lowered her eyes: "Yeah."

Everyone else in the Rong family heard the conversation between Rong Ci and Feng Jingxin.

Learning that Feng Tingshen was coming over, they were all a bit surprised, but with Feng Jingxin there, they didn't ask Rong Ci why Feng Tingshen was coming over.

A moment later, Feng Tingshen arrived.

Rong Ci went out to see him and asked, "Are you here to pick up my grandmother to go to the hospital?"

Feng Tingshen: "Yes."

Rong Ci nodded and said, "Wait a moment."

Hearing this, Feng Tingshen said, "Okay."

He didn't get out of the car.

More than ten minutes later, Old Lady Rong came out of the house.

Seeing this, Feng Tingshen got out of the car and opened the door for her.

Feng Jingxin was also preparing to go to school and said to Feng Tingshen, "Goodbye, Dad."

"Goodbye."

He nodded to Rong Ci and the others in the Rong family, and after exchanging greetings, he got in the car and left.

Rong Ci also drove Feng Jingxin to school.

At 11:30, while Rong Ci was busy at the company, Old Lady Rong's call came through: "The surgery was very successful."

Rong Ci was then able to set her mind at ease.

Not long after she put down her phone, Feng Tingshen's call came in.

Rong Ci didn't answer.

Next, Feng Tingshen sent a message: "We will be going out to eat in a while, do you want to come together?"

Rong Ci didn't reply.

She believed that even if Feng Tingshen thought with his toes, he would understand what it meant that she didn't reply to the message.

Afterward, Feng Tingshen indeed didn't send any more messages.

But just at noon, Chu Zilan's call came in again.

"Xiao Ci, I actually saw your husband—no, future ex-husband, outside the restaurant, helping your grandmother up the stairs!"

Before Rong Ci could finish speaking, she asked again: "Could it be that you have already reconciled behind my back?"

"No."

While flipping through a book, Rong Ci told her about Old Lady Feng falling and being hospitalized, and then said, "We went to visit Grandma, he is just grateful to us."

Therefore, he had specifically come over in person this morning to pick up her grandmother to go to the hospital.

Chu Zilan's tone was disappointed: "Is that all?"

"Yeah."

Moreover, she felt that the more polite and considerate Feng Tingshen acted, the more it meant he didn't want to owe her and her grandmother anything.

In the end, him doing this was actually a way of drawing a clear line.

Only someone with a muddled brain would think he wanted to reconcile with her.

This evening, Rong Ci got off work a bit late.

When she arrived downstairs at the hospital, it was already past seven o'clock.

Just as she got out of the car, she saw Lin Wu leaning against a car on the side.

Lin Wu also saw her.

She pursed her lips and looked her over coldly, but didn't speak.

Rong Ci closed the car door, didn't look at her again, and carried the flowers into the hospital.

The VIP floor was very quiet.

Just as Rong Ci pushed the door open and entered, she saw Feng Tingshen, He Zhangbai, and Qi Yuming.

Recalling Lin Wu whom she saw downstairs just now, she immediately understood that the four of them must have come together.

As for whether Lin Wu had come in here to see Old Lady Feng, she had no way of knowing.

Seeing her, Qi Yuming curled his lips.

He Zhangbai stood up from his chair.

Feng Tingshen walked toward her and said, "You're here?"

She withdrew her gaze and didn't reply to him. Seeing that Old Lady Feng had looked over, she smiled at Old Lady Feng and said, "Grandma."
