Chapter 46: Hugged together

Twenty minutes later, Feng Tingshen and the others returned.

The old lady didn't look at Feng Tingshen, smiled kindly at Feng Jingxin and beckoned: "Miss Xin Xin is back?"

"Great-grandma." Feng Jingxin ran towards the old lady, was held by the old lady, rubbed her head for a while, and then came over to Rong Ci: "Mom."

"Mm." When Rong Ci hugged Feng Jingxin, she smelled the extremely faint perfume scent of Lin Wu on her clothes.

She didn't say it, just pushed her away gently.

Feng Tingshen sat down beside the old lady and handed the old lady a box: "Apology gift."

It was a type of snow tea the old lady liked very much, rare in the market, worth a thousand gold.

The old lady knew he was apologizing for missing the hot spring villa trip last time.

She hummed: "Know to prepare a gift for me, old lady, then what about Xiao Ci? Did you prepare an apology gift for Xiao Ci?"

Feng Tingshen smiled, didn't speak, and looked at Rong Ci.

But it was just a simple look, there was no other emotion in it.

The old lady's intention was to uphold justice for her and let Feng Tingshen care about her more.

However, these were already unnecessary in Rong Ci's view.

She didn't look at Feng Tingshen, and said with a faint smile: "Grandma, the food is getting cold, let's eat first."

The old lady thought Rong Ci changed the topic because she didn't want her to continue talking about Feng Tingshen.

After all, in the past, when Feng Tingshen ignored her, and the old lady couldn't stand it and scolded Feng Tingshen for her, she would always open her mouth to make excuses for Feng Tingshen.

The old lady sighed helplessly: "You, you only know how to favor him."

Rong Ci smiled but didn't speak.

Feng Tingshen also had a cold expression, his expression didn't change because she opened her mouth to help him.

It was getting late, and it was indeed time to eat.

The old lady stood up and came to hold Feng Jingxin's hand: "Miss Xin Xin hasn't sat with Great-grandma to eat for a long time, sit with Great-grandma in a while, okay?"

Feng Jingxin nodded obediently: "Okay."

"So good." When the old lady spoke, she glanced at Feng Tingshen, what she meant was self-evident.

Rong Ci knew that the old lady was trying to match her and Feng Tingshen again.

She didn't look at Feng Tingshen's reaction, and followed the old lady into the dining room.

When she sat down opposite the old lady and Feng Jingxin, she caught a glimpse of Feng Tingshen pulling open the chair next to her and sitting down beside her.

The old lady was finally satisfied, and after the dishes were served, she said to Feng Tingshen: "Pick food for Xiao Ci."

Rong Ci didn't look at Feng Tingshen and said: "No need, Grandma, I'll do it myself—"

Before the words fell, Feng Tingshen picked up the stir-fried meat she liked and put it in her bowl.

Rong Ci paused: "... Thank you."

Feng Tingshen didn't speak.

The old lady said to let Feng Tingshen pick food for her, generally it wasn't letting him just pick one chopstick of food for her, but taking care of her while eating.

So, when the food in Rong Ci's bowl was almost finished, Feng Tingshen would pick new ones for her, and the food he picked was also what she liked to eat.

However, this didn't represent anything.

After all, things like this had happened a few times in these years, with Feng Tingshen's memory, even if he didn't deliberately remember, he could remember.

After eating, Feng Tingshen was chatting with the old lady.

Rong Ci also sat on the side listening, rarely interjected, and didn't take the initiative to talk to Feng Tingshen, and rarely looked at him directly.

Seeing that they had been husband and wife for so many years, but there was still not much communication between them, the old lady sighed helplessly.

After nine o'clock, the old lady was tired and waved her hand, letting them go upstairs to rest.

Rong Ci gave Feng Jingxin a bath and blew her hair dry.

Feng Jingxin looked at Rong Ci

In the past, Mom would always find many topics to chat with her about.

Seeing Feng Jingxin looking at her thoughtfully, Rong Ci asked, "What's wrong?"

Feng Jingxin shook her head: "Nothing."

It must be that she was overthinking things.

Or perhaps Mom had something on her mind and just didn't want to talk.

After drying her hair, Feng Jingxin rolled around on the bed and asked, "Mom, are you sleeping with me tonight too?"

Rong Ci paused: "Does Xin Xin want Mom to sleep with you?"

"I'm fine with anything, but Mom hasn't accompanied Dad for a long time, shouldn't Mom go sleep with Dad?"

"I'll go back in a while."

Her divorce papers with Feng Tingshen hadn't been finalized yet; if Feng Jingxin hadn't taken the initiative to let her stay, and she remained here anyway, it would likely cause a fuss if the old lady found out.

She left Feng Jingxin's room, and when she returned to her own, the room's lights were on.

Feng Tingshen was sitting to one side, his computer open, busy with something unknown.

Seeing her return, he glanced at her.

Rong Ci averted her gaze and went straight into the walk-in closet to find clothes before heading into the bathroom to shower.

When she came out from her shower, Feng Tingshen was still tapping away at his keyboard in front of the computer.

Rong Ci, wearing her pajamas, sat down at the head of the bed. After finishing her skincare routine, seeing that it was still early, she leaned against the headboard to read.

In the bedroom, the two of them just quietly busied themselves with their own affairs like this.

Between them, there was not a single word of exchange.

Approaching midnight, Rong Ci felt sleepy, put down her book, turned off the bedside lamp on her side, and lay down to sleep.

She thought she wouldn't be able to fall asleep.

After all, she and Feng Tingshen hadn't shared a bed for a long time.

However, she immediately thought that once Feng Tingshen finished his work, he would very likely go out to accompany Lin Wu.

It wasn't certain that he would stay here for the night.

Thinking this, without realizing it, her consciousness began to blur, and soon she drifted off to sleep amidst the intermittent sounds of the keyboard.

She slept very well this time, feeling that the quilt was warm and cozy, extremely comfortable.

Rong Ci was just about to get up when she felt bursts of warm breath spilling onto her ear.

Moreover, she seemed to be hugging someone...

Realizing what was going on, her whole body stiffened.

Her consciousness cleared instantly.

Rong Ci opened her eyes and discovered that she was lying on her side in Feng Tingshen's arms.

And Feng Tingshen also had his arms around her, his legs pinning her, sleeping soundly.

The two of them were pressed tightly together, with almost no distance between them.

Rong Ci could clearly feel the heat of his chest and his large palms...

Rong Ci considered herself to have good sleeping habits.

Before falling asleep last night, she had deliberately leaned toward the edge of the bed, thinking that even if she and Feng Tingshen shared a bed, there would still be a large gap in the middle, and they wouldn't touch each other.

Therefore, no matter how one looked at it, it was unlikely that she had voluntarily rolled into Feng Tingshen's arms after falling asleep.

Unless...

Unless Feng Tingshen had long since grown accustomed to sleeping while holding Lin Wu during the days she wasn't there.

Last night, in his drowsy state, he must have thought she was Lin Wu, which was why he pulled her into his arms...

Thinking of this, Rong Ci withdrew the hand she still had on Feng Tingshen's chest and slowly curled it into a tight fist.

She moved her body, wanting to get out of his arms.

Perhaps her movements disturbed him; Rong Ci felt his arms around her tighten slightly, pulling her back into his embrace.

Rong Ci was stunned, and at that moment, a kiss landed on her forehead, "Sleep a little longer."
