Chapter 31

Feng Tingshen had many companies and was always very busy.

Over the next two days, because Feng Tingshen was away on business, Feng Jingxin was extremely bored at home alone, and she couldn't help but call Rong Ci again.

Having been busy for two days, the matter from that day had already passed for Rong Ci.

Seeing Feng Jingxin's incoming call, she answered it.

Feng Jingxin: "Mom, when are you coming home..."

Learning that Feng Tingshen was not at home, after getting off work that evening, Rong Ci went back for a visit.

After Rong Ci returned, Feng Jingxin was very happy, pestering her to talk about many interesting things at school, and also mentioning a game she had recently become obsessed with, wanting to teach Rong Ci how to play it herself.

After she finished her homework, whatever Feng Jingxin wanted to play or was interested in, as long as it wasn't harmful to her physical or mental health, she would generally accompany her to play or do it.

Rong Ci watched Feng Jingxin operate it twice, then teamed up with her to play the game for over an hour.

Feng Jingxin was very happy that night.

She also wanted Rong Ci to accompany her when sleeping at night.

Rong Ci happened to not want to sleep in the master bedroom either, so she agreed.

On Thursday night, Rong Ci turned off the range hood and was just about to come out of the kitchen with the dishes when she heard Feng Jingxin's voice outside: "Dad, you're back!"

Following that, the man's deep and pleasant voice rang out.

"Mm, have you eaten?"

"Not yet, but Mom is almost done."

"Is that so?"

Rong Ci paused her steps, then walked out of the kitchen carrying the dishes.

At this moment, Feng Jingxin and Feng Tingshen also walked in from the living room.

"Mom, Dad is back."

Rong Ci glanced at Feng Tingshen, then withdrew her gaze: "Mm."

Rong Ci took off her apron and handed it to the butler nearby, then the three of them sat down in their usual seats.

Feng Jingxin ate the food Rong Ci had picked for her and asked: "Dad, didn't you say you were coming back tomorrow?"

"I finished my work and came back early."

"Oh..."

The Feng family didn't have many rules at the dinner table; Feng Jingxin had things to say, and although Feng Tingshen spoke little, he basically responded to everything she said.

Feng Jingxin was talking very happily, then she turned her head to look at Rong Ci: "Mom, why aren't you talking?"

Rong Ci said gently: "I'm fine just listening to you two."

"Oh..."

Actually, the butler also noticed that Rong Ci was a bit off.

Previously, Rong Ci was worried about annoying Feng Tingshen, so it was true she would try to speak less to him, but every time Feng Tingshen returned from a business trip, the necessary greetings and care would never be lacking.

Today, not only did Rong Ci not take the initiative to speak to Feng Tingshen, she even seemed not to have looked Feng Tingshen in the eye...

Feng Tingshen seemed not to have noticed Rong Ci's abnormality, his expression as usual.

At this moment, Feng Tingshen's phone rang.

It was a call from Old Lady Feng.

"Went on a business trip again?"

"Just got back." Feng Tingshen put down his phone, turned on the speakerphone, and spoke while eating: "What instructions does the old lady have?"

Old Lady Feng chuckled and said: "I haven't seen Xiao Ci and Xin Xin for half a month either. It's cold now, so tomorrow you take Xiao Ci and Xin Xin to the Hot Spring Villa; let's go soak in the hot springs together to warm up."

"Understood."

Hanging up the phone, Feng Jingxin was very happy: "We can soak in the hot springs again, yay!"

Feng Tingshen looked at Rong Ci and said: "Tomorrow night I will have someone come to pick you up."

Rong Ci didn't look up: "I can just drive myself from the company."

"No, Mom, come back and go with me, okay? The Hot Spring Villa is so far away, how boring it would be for me to sit in the car alone."

Rong Ci paused.

Forget it.

"... Alright."

Chang Mo was recently developing a new app, and after dinner, Yu Moxun called to discuss some technical issues with her.

Feng Tingshen and Feng Jingxin were talking in the living room, and Rong Ci went outside to answer the phone.

Half an hour later, Rong Ci finished the call.

Feng Jingxin looked up at her and couldn't help but say: "Mom, you have so many calls lately, you talk for a long time every night, you weren't like this before..."

Hearing this, Feng Tingshen looked up at her.

Hearing Feng Jingxin say this, the butler realized it was indeed so.

You have to know, previously Rong Ci rarely talked on the phone with people.

Let alone talking for so long at a time.

Could it be that the lady is having an affair?

This...

That shouldn't be, right?

Given the lady's feelings for Feng Tingshen, that shouldn't be the case.

"Just some things." Rong Ci didn't say much: "I'm going upstairs to busy myself with some things."

Feng Jingxin: "Oh..."

Rong Ci opened her computer and began to process the file package Yu Moxun had sent over.

Feng Jingxin returned to her room, and seeing her so busy, she didn't disturb her, playing on her own, and after taking a bath, she came over to take a look.

Actually, over the past few years, Rong Ci hadn't completely neglected the content of her own major.

Occasionally when she was free, she would design a few programs herself, and when Feng Jingxin came over, she would even tell her some basic knowledge.

But at that time Feng Jingxin was only three or four years old, often falling asleep while listening.

Now that Feng Jingxin came over to look, she didn't mind her, continuing to busy herself with her own work.

Feng Jingxin naturally didn't understand, but she suddenly discovered that Aunt Wuwu seemed to have done similar work before...

Feng Jingxin watched for a while, and not long after, she went to bed.

Rong Ci didn't close the computer until she was finished.

At this time, she checked the time and found it was already past two in the morning.

She hadn't returned to the master bedroom, and Feng Tingshen hadn't reacted at all; perhaps her staying in Feng Jingxin's room and not returning to the master bedroom, reducing contact with him, was also what he expected.

The next day, Rong Ci didn't get up to make breakfast.

Feng Jingxin also only realized that Rong Ci had slept with her the night before when she woke up the next day and saw Rong Ci sleeping beside her.

Seeing Rong Ci hadn't woken up yet, Feng Jingxin got out of bed on tiptoes and left the room.

Seeing Feng Tingshen, she yawned: "Dad, morning."

Feng Tingshen: "Mm."

"Mom hasn't woken up yet."

"Mm."

When Rong Ci got up for breakfast, Feng Tingshen was almost finished eating.

There was no communication between them, and Feng Tingshen left the house after finishing.

When the time was right, Rong Ci also went to the company.

In the evening, she got off work on time.

When she arrived home, Feng Jingxin was already waiting in the car.

But Feng Tingshen hadn't returned yet.

Rong Ci and Feng Jingxin waited for more than twenty minutes, and Feng Jingxin frowned: "Dad is so slow."

Rong Ci looked at her book calmly, not in a hurry.

At this moment, the phone in the living room rang.

A few seconds later, the butler said: "Sir said he has things to do and cannot return for the time being, asking you, Madam, and Miss Xin Xin to go to the Hot Spring Villa first; he will arrive later."

Rong Ci didn't mind, saying: "Understood."

Feng Tingshen said he would arrive later, but that night, he didn't appear until late at night.
