Chapter 154: They actually went on New Year

Rong Ci changed to another restaurant, and just as she started eating, her phone rang twice.

It was a message sent to her by Chu Zilan.

Rong Ci clicked on it casually, only to discover that what Chu Zilan sent her were two photos.

The people in the photos were exactly Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu.

She pursed her lips, didn't look closely, and exited.

Just after exiting, Chu Zilan's call came through.

Rong Ci paused, but still got up and went outside to answer: "Zilan."

"Xiao Ci, did you see the two photos I just sent you?!"

Rong Ci only saw one; there was another one she hadn't seen, and she didn't intend to look at it either.

However, she said: "I saw them."

Chu Zilan said: "The first one was sent to me by a friend last night, saying they saw them at the hotel. Damn, it's New Year's Eve, and they, they actually ran to the hotel to open a room?! Do they have no shame!"

Rong Ci's expression didn't change, she didn't even frown, only responding with a faint "Mm."

"The second one is even more disgusting. That's a screenshot my friend took of that woman's Moments. She photographed the roses and New Year gifts Feng Tingshen gave her, and it was also taken in the hotel, looking like she's in a very good mood showing off their love after the fact; it's truly disgusting to death!"

Rong Ci: "Mm."

After responding casually, she asked: "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet; I went out to celebrate the New Year with friends last night and drank too much; I just woke up, and I forgot to send you New Year blessings."

"It's fine." Rong Ci said again: "Happy New Year."

"Mm, Happy New Year to our Xiao Ci too." After these words, Chu Zilan remembered the matter of Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu again; she was just about to see if she should continue talking, but stopped, asking: "Xiao Ci, what are you doing now?"

"Eating outside with my grandma and the others."

"Oh..." Chu Zilan scratched her head: "Sorry, Xiao Ci, I affected your mood for eating; if I had known, I wouldn't have told you these things."

"It's fine." She said gently: "Wash up and go eat something; otherwise your stomach will have problems again."

"I know, I know."

The two of them talked for a while longer before hanging up.

After eating, it was still early, so Rong Ci accompanied Old Lady Rong to go shopping and take a walk outside.

This time they didn't run into anyone, and when they got home, their mood had improved quite a bit.

The Rong family didn't have many relatives in Ducheng; the New Year wasn't considered busy for the Rong family.

Rong Ci became free starting from the evening of the second day of the Lunar New Year.

She opened her computer and began to continue researching the materials Nan Zhizhi gave her.

After ten o'clock, she was just preparing to shower.

Her phone rang.

It was a call from Feng Tingshen.

Rong Ci glanced at it, didn't answer, and went straight into the bathroom to shower.

After showering, she checked some more materials, and just as she finished recording them, she heard a car sound coming from outside.

Rong Ci's movement of holding the mouse paused abruptly.

She suddenly remembered the call Feng Tingshen made just now.

She frowned, put down the mouse, and just as she walked to the window, she saw Feng Jingxin run out of the car and shout: "Great-Grandma!"

Rong Ci pursed her lips, turned and returned to her room, picked up her phone to look, and discovered that after she didn't answer the call, Feng Tingshen sent her a message.

【Going abroad for something tomorrow; take care of Xin Xin for these few days.】

Rong Ci watched and put down her phone.

At this moment, Feng Jingxin had also run upstairs and pushed open the door to her room; seeing her, she threw herself into her arms excitedly and happily: "Mom!"

Rong Ci had no choice but to reach out and hold her to prevent her from falling.

It was just that, as soon as she threw herself over, the perfume smell on Lin Wu's body drilled into her nose again.

She took her backpack, put it on the sofa to the side, and when she was about to run to the bed, she pulled her back and asked: "Have you showered?"

"I have."

She still had the smell of Lin Wu on her after showering, which could only mean that either Lin Wu was living with her and Feng Tingshen, or Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu had actually sent her over together just now.

They just hadn't accompanied her into the residential area.

Rong Ci said faintly: "It's dirty; go change your clothes."

Feng Jingxin remembered that she had indeed been running around after showering, and it seemed she had sweated a little.

She nodded and obediently went into the bathroom to change her clothes by herself.

Rong Ci then continued to organize her materials.

After Feng Jingxin changed her clothes and came out of the bathroom, she took out a little rabbit lantern from her backpack: "Mom, look, the little lantern!"

Rong Ci glanced at it and paused: "This is—"

"Dad bought it for me! Isn't it cute and beautiful?!"

Rong Ci: "... Mm."

Then Feng Jingxin ran over to turn off the lights in Rong Ci's room, turned on the light in the little lantern, and shared with her excitedly: "Isn't it even more beautiful with the lights off?!"

Rong Ci: "... Mm, it is more beautiful." She paused and asked: "You like it very much?"

"Yes, I like it super much!" After these words, she took out the other one: "Dad bought me two; I'll give the remaining one to you. Mom, accompany me to carry the lantern downstairs for a walk, okay?"

Rong Ci said: "Mom has already showered; let's do it tomorrow." She added: "You've also changed your clothes; it's not good to get them dirty."

Feng Jingxin's enthusiasm was somewhat dampened by Rong Ci.

Her excited and happy mood was somewhat affected: "Oh..."

However, she had indeed not seen Rong Ci for a month.

Seeing that Rong Ci didn't seem very interested in the little lantern, she didn't continue to "push" it on Rong Ci, but put down the little lantern and ran over to hug her: "Mom..."

Rong Ci put down the book in her hand: "Mm, what's wrong?"

Feng Jingxin didn't speak, kicked off her shoes, and climbed into her arms: "I miss you so much." As she spoke, she hugged her neck and kissed her face twice in a row, then laughed and said: "Mom smells so good."

Rong Ci tightened her grip on her, paused, and then reached out to touch her little face, but didn't speak.

She could tell that Feng Jingxin's face had grown a little bit and had some changes.

It seemed she also looked more like Feng Tingshen.

She lowered her eyes, saw that she wasn't wearing socks, put her on the bed, covered her feet with the quilt, and asked: "How many days will you be staying here this time?"

Feng Jingxin shook her head: "I don't know; Dad didn't say, only told me to wait here for him to come back."

Rong Ci gave a light "Mm" and didn't ask again.

Feng Jingxin remembered another thing and ran off the bed to find her backpack: "Mom, I bought you a little gift when I went abroad to play before."

Feng Jingxin found the crystal ball she bought for Rong Ci and handed it to Rong Ci, looking at her with full expectation.

Since Feng Jingxin started getting close to Lin Wu, she hadn't thought about preparing gifts for her for a long time.

Rong Ci took it, her mood very calm, and said: "Thank you, Mom likes it very much."
