~7 min read 1,324 words

He Zhangbai looked at Feng Tingshen and paused before taking it: "Thank you."

The two of them clinked glasses and began to chat while drinking.

A while later, Feng Tingshen looked at him a bit more.

He Zhangbai raised his eyes: "What's wrong?"

Qi Yuming took over the conversation: "You... are acting a bit strange today."

Feng Tingshen smiled.

This was an agreement with Qi Yuming's words.

He Zhangbai kept his expression unchanged and said flatly: "Is that so?"

Qi Yuming raised an eyebrow: "Isn't it?"

He Zhangbai took a light sip of wine and didn't speak.

At this moment, others also came over to greet them.

After the people left, He Zhangbai checked the time, fearing Seeing Dan Dan might be hungry, and just as he wanted to go to Seeing Dan Dan's side, Seeing Dan Dan and Feng Jingxin returned.

Seeing Dan Dan asked: "Uncle, can I go eat the little cake over there?"

Seeing Dan Dan had an allergic constitution and couldn't eat many things, so He Zhangbai said: "You sit here, Uncle will get it for you."

"Okay."

Feng Jingxin was different; she was used to being free and had a healthy body, so she went to get whatever she wanted to eat herself, and after bringing it back, she even asked Feng Tingshen: "Does Dad want to eat?"

Feng Tingshen rubbed her head: "No need."

The two children sat to the side eating, and when Lin Wu ate something delicious, she would also share it with Feng Jingxin.

Feng Jingxin happily accepted: "Thank you, Auntie Wuwu."

Seeing Dan Dan looked up at Lin Wu in confusion, then asked Feng Jingxin: "Miss Xin Xin, isn't this auntie your mom?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole scene went quiet.

Feng Jingxin paused and shook her head: "No."

Seeing Dan Dan asked cautiously: "Do you not have a mom anymore either?"

Feng Jingxin shook her head: "No, I have a mom."

"Oh..."

The cruise ship was giving out some souvenirs, and Seeing Dan Dan really liked one of the crystal keychains, so she picked two.

There were only two of this style in total.

Feng Jingxin actually liked it quite a bit too, and seeing Seeing Dan Dan take them all, she couldn't help but ask: "Seeing Dan Dan, can you share one with me? I want to give it to Auntie Wuwu."

Seeing Dan Dan was a bit reluctant and said: "I... I also want to give it to my auntie..."

Thinking of Rong Ci, Seeing Dan Dan couldn't help but share with Feng Jingxin: "Today, Uncle and Auntie accompanied me to fly a kite, go fishing, ride a bike, and chase butterflies... Auntie is very beautiful, she will definitely like this crystal..."

Several adults were all there.

Originally, they hadn't paid much attention to the children's conversation.

But hearing this, Lin Wu, Qi Yuming, and Feng Tingshen all looked at He Zhangbai.

Qi Yuming immediately said: "Zhangbai, what's the situation? Or is it that there's already a situation?" Qi Yuming got more excited as he spoke, and without waiting for He Zhangbai to answer, he asked again: "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell us, right Tingshen!"

Feng Tingshen smiled, just looking at He Zhangbai, wanting to hear what he had to say.

He Zhangbai's expression was flat: "Just happened to run into each other."

"Is that so?" Qi Yuming didn't believe it, as if remembering something: "So that means lunch was also eaten with her? I was wondering, how can a big man like you take care of a child so easily; turns out you had a helper!"

He Zhangbai stopped talking.

Feng Tingshen looked at him and delivered the final verdict: "You are interested in her."

He Zhangbai paused, opened his mouth, but ultimately did not refute it.

Lin Wu was stunned, and her smile faded.

"Damn, it's actually true?" Qi Yuming had only been teasing just now, not expecting it to be real, so he hurriedly asked: "Who is it? Do we know her? Why didn't you bring her over for us to meet?"

He Zhangbai didn't speak, so Qi Yuming assumed he felt it wasn't a sure thing yet and didn't want to say.

Qi Yuming knew it was useless to ask him, so he smiled, squatted down, and asked Seeing Dan Dan: "Seeing Dan Dan, how many times have you seen the auntie you had lunch with today? Do you know what her name is?"

He Zhangbai's hand holding the glass tightened suddenly: "Yuming!"

Seeing Dan Dan didn't understand the adults' thoughts; she wasn't familiar with Qi Yuming, but hearing him ask about Rong Ci, Seeing Dan Dan thought for a moment and said without any defenses: "Three times!"

"What is Auntie's name..."

When He Zhangbai and Rong Ci ran into each other today, he hadn't even called her "Miss Rong," so Seeing Dan Dan really couldn't remember what Rong Ci's name was.

She looked at He Zhangbai for help: "Uncle, what is Auntie's name?"

He Zhangbai lowered his eyes: "Next time you see her, Seeing Dan Dan can ask her yourself."

Seeing Dan Dan nodded happily: "Okay."

Qi Yuming: "... Stingy."

He Zhangbai ignored him.

Seeing that Feng Jingxin liked the crystal keychain in her hand very much, although Seeing Dan Dan felt a bit of heartache, she still gave one to Feng Jingxin.

Feng Jingxin was very happy: "Thank you, Seeing Dan Dan."

Lin Wu also spoke up to thank her.

Seeing Dan Dan: "You're welcome..."

Seeing Feng Jingxin so happy, she asked her: "Miss Xin Xin, aren't you going to pick one for your mom too?"

Feng Jingxin paused, her voice becoming a bit weaker, and said: "I'll pick one in a while..."

"Oh..."

After Rong Ci finished dinner, she read for a while and then went to the bathroom to shower.

Just as she came out of the bathroom, she received a call from Rong Changsheng: "Xiao Ci, I just saw Xiang Rufang in the residential complex."

Xiang Rufang, Lin Wu's aunt?

Rong Ci was stunned, and before she could react, she heard Rong Changsheng say: "At first I didn't pay attention, but after I entered the house, I realized she had entered the villa opposite ours that is currently being renovated!"

Rong Ci's expression changed drastically, and she sat up abruptly from the bed.

Rong Changsheng actually had a very good temper.

But at this very moment, he was gritting his teeth: "They... must have done it on purpose!"

The fact that Feng Tingshen helped the Lin family gain a firm foothold in Ducheng was now known to everyone in the Ducheng business circle.

Although the Rong family was currently not doing well, Rong Changsheng was, after all, a person in the circle; how could he not know about this?

It was just that he was afraid Rong Ci would be sad, so he hadn't mentioned it to her.

If the Lin family was going to settle in Ducheng, he could understand them wanting to purchase property.

But Lin Wu and the others all knew that their Rong family lived here.

Ducheng was so big, yet they chose to buy a house right opposite their Rong family; if someone said it wasn't on purpose, who would believe it?

Rong Ci also understood what he meant.

She gripped her phone tightly and said: "I... will give Feng Tingshen a call."

"Okay."

If it were any other matter, Rong Changsheng would not let Rong Ci beg Feng Tingshen.

But this matter was different.

If Xiang Rufang and the others really moved in, they would likely be looking for a sense of presence in front of them every day, and the old lady's health was not good right now; she couldn't handle the stimulation...

After Rong Ci hung up, she immediately dialed Feng Tingshen.

After a while on the other end, someone finally answered.

"Hello."

It was Lin Wu's voice.
