Chapter 204: Saw Rong Ci and He Zhangbai and the Others

~7 min read 1,359 words

Rong Ci returned a call to He Zhangbai, asking him if there was anything when he called her two days ago.

He Zhangbai said: "Dan Dan just wanted to video chat with you, nothing special."

Both Rong Ci and He Zhangbai still had to go to work, so they didn't chat much.

After hanging up, Rong Ci took her car keys and went downstairs to drive to the company.

She and Yu Moxun arrived at the company parking lot almost at the same time.

After getting out of the car, seeing her, Yu Moxun smiled: "You're back?"

Rong Ci smiled: "Mm."

Just as she finished speaking, Feng Tingshen's car drove in from the entrance, and at this moment, Lin Wu was also in the passenger seat.

Feng Tingshen's car didn't drive into the garage but stopped in front of Rong Ci and Yu Moxun.

Immediately, the two of them got out of the car. Seeing Yu Moxun and Rong Ci, Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu greeted Yu Moxun: "Director Yu, morning."

Yu Moxun: "..."

The smile on his face faded.

How unlucky!

He cursed in his heart, ignored Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu, and pulled Rong Ci forward.

Yu Moxun ignored them, and Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu didn't seem to care either.

As they passed them, Feng Tingshen handed the car keys to Lin Wu, opened the driver's seat door for her, and urged her with concern: "Be careful on the road."

Watching Feng Tingshen's consideration and concern for her, and looking at Rong Ci's back, Lin Wu curled her lips: "Okay."

Rong Ci and Yu Moxun entered the company building. While waiting for the elevator, Yu Moxun glanced toward the main entrance and realized Feng Tingshen hadn't followed them.

Were they still being lovey-dovey early in the morning?

After entering the elevator, Yu Moxun suddenly remembered something: "They have to take the same car to work early in the morning. Are they already living together?"

Rong Ci didn't know.

However, even if they weren't living together, the fact that they were in the same car now meant Feng Tingshen went to pick up Lin Wu early in the morning.

Feng Tingshen had his own driver, yet he often did things himself when going out with Lin Wu, not finding it troublesome at all.

Their relationship was truly as good as ever.

The day after tomorrow was Dan Dan's birthday.

That evening, after work, Rong Ci went to the mall and bought a pink rabbit doll.

As she was holding the rabbit doll and taking the elevator downstairs, she happened to run into Lin Wu and Lady Lin, who were preparing to go upstairs.

Lin Wu saw the rabbit doll in Rong Ci's hand and assumed Rong Ci was going to give it to Feng Jingxin.

A flash of sarcastic smile crossed her eyes.

Ever since Feng Jingxin started interacting with her, she no longer liked these pink, cute little dolls.

Yet Rong Ci still wanted to give Feng Jingxin these things. Should she call her stupid for not knowing how to cater to Feng Jingxin's preferences, or ridiculous for not even being able to figure out Feng Jingxin's current likes?

Thinking of this, Lin Wu didn't look at Rong Ci again.

Lady Lin only glanced at Rong Ci and then withdrew her gaze as if she hadn't seen her.

She patted the back of Lin Wu's hand, who was holding her arm, her eyes full of satisfaction and doting toward Lin Wu.

It was evident that in her heart, she only recognized Lin Wu as her granddaughter now.

Rong Ci didn't care about them either.

She arrived at the underground garage, drove away from the mall.

The next morning, just as Rong Ci woke up, Nan Zhizhi's call came again.

After Nan Zhizhi finished speaking, she said: "I understand."

After hanging up, she immediately called He Zhangbai: "I have important matters to handle tomorrow morning, so I'm afraid I won't have time to celebrate Dan Dan's birthday. However, I will prepare the cake in advance. Tomorrow morning, could you please come over to my place and help me hand the cake and the gift I prepared for Dan Dan to her? Also, please apologize to Dan Dan for me."

Learning that she couldn't celebrate Dan Dan's birthday in person, He Zhangbai felt a bit disappointed but understood, saying: "It's fine, work comes first. Dan Dan will understand."

After hanging up, just as Rong Ci finished washing up, her phone rang again.

It was a video call from He Zhangbai.

Only Dan Dan would use He Zhangbai's phone to video call her.

Rong Ci saw it and answered. Dan Dan's face immediately appeared in her view. Rong Ci revealed a gentle smile, and before she could speak, Dan Dan said to her: "Morning, Aunt Rong. Uncle told me you don't have time to celebrate my birthday tomorrow. It's okay. If Aunt isn't free this time, you can celebrate my birthday next time!"

Dan Dan still had to go to school, so without waiting for Rong Ci to speak, she continued: "I heard from Uncle that Aunt will bake a cake for me yourself, and you also prepared other gifts for me. Thank you, Aunt, you've worked hard. Grandma said that if you receive gifts from others, you have to invite them to dinner. There's a newly opened restaurant, and the food there is super delicious. Are you free tonight, Aunt? Uncle and I want to invite you to dinner!"

Hearing Dan Dan say so much in one breath, Rong Ci smiled and said: "I'm free, then thank you, Dan Dan."

"You're welcome, Aunt Rong. It's only right that I invite you to dinner."

Dan Dan was in a hurry to go to school. After finishing, she said goodbye to Rong Ci and hurriedly returned the phone to He Zhangbai.

Rong Ci and He Zhangbai agreed on the time for dinner and hung up.

Arriving at the company, Rong Ci told Yu Moxun that she had to go to the base again tomorrow morning.

Yu Moxun patted her shoulder and said: "You've worked hard. I'll handle the work in the R&D department, so feel free to go."

Rong Ci: "Okay."

Usually, when there was nothing special, Rong Ci would stay at the company until past eight in the evening before leaving.

But that afternoon, Rong Ci started packing her things after six, preparing to leave the company.

Gu Yan came to find her and was somewhat surprised to see her preparing to get off work: "Off work so early today?"

"Mm, have something to handle," she said, remembering that she wouldn't be returning to the company tomorrow, she added: "By the way, I'll be on a business trip for a few days starting tomorrow. If you have any questions, you can go directly to Moxun to communicate."

Gu Yan paused: "On a business trip again?"

"Mm."

Gu Yan didn't speak again.

She had only been back for two days, and she was leaving again...

Leaving the company, more than half an hour later, Rong Ci arrived at the restaurant He Zhangbai had booked.

Just as she got out of the car, He Zhangbai and Dan Dan also arrived.

Seeing her, Dan Dan ran over: "Aunt Rong!"

Rong Ci hugged Dan Dan and, seeing the huge parking lot filled with luxury cars, said to He Zhangbai: "This restaurant's business is truly booming."

"The boss does good marketing and has hyped up the popularity. Now people in the circle all like to come here to discuss cooperation."

Rong Ci: "So that's how it is."

He Zhangbai: "Let's go in first."

Rong Ci said: "Okay."

They left the parking lot and walked toward the restaurant entrance.

At this moment, Lin Wu was getting out of the car while on the phone.

After hanging up, she closed the car door and turned around, preparing to walk toward the restaurant. But the moment she turned, the figures of Rong Ci, He Zhangbai, and Dan Dan came into view.

Seeing this scene, she paused, and the steps she was about to take forward stopped abruptly!
