Chapter 55

When they arrived home, the old lady hadn't slept yet.

Seeing that Rong Ci had indeed returned in Feng Tingshen's car, she finally went back to her room to rest with peace of mind.

After going upstairs, Rong Ci called Rong Changsheng to inform him of the progress.

After finishing the call with Rong Changsheng, Yu Moxun's call came in again.

Half an hour later, after finishing the call and returning to the room, Rong Ci found that Feng Tingshen had already showered, and now he was leaning against the head of the bed reading a book.

Seeing her return to the room, Feng Tingshen moved his gaze from the book, glanced at her, and then put his attention back on the book.

Rong Ci also withdrew her gaze, then went to shower and do her skincare.

After doing these, it was already late, and Rong Ci glanced at Feng Tingshen.

Before, when Feng Tingshen was cold to her, she might have been used to it, and when they were alone, she actually didn't feel uncomfortable.

Now that he had helped her, the relationship between them had eased a bit relatively, and she actually didn't know how to get along with him.

However, no matter what, there wouldn't be any qualitative change in their relationship.

Thinking of this, Rong Ci quietly got into bed, ready to sleep.

Just as she lay down, Feng Tingshen put down the book in his hand, then turned off the light and lay down.

As if he was sitting at the head of the bed reading just to wait for her and turn off the light for her.

Rong Ci was stunned.

She felt she was thinking too much.

Her heart calmed down again, and she fell asleep before long.

The next day, the old lady wanted Feng Tingshen to take Rong Ci to the company again.

Rong Ci refused again: "Grandma, I have social engagements today and have to go out; it's inconvenient without a car."

The old lady frowned and looked at Feng Tingshen.

The old lady meant she wanted Feng Tingshen to personally say he would take her.

But Feng Tingshen ate breakfast silently and didn't follow the old lady's wishes to say this.

Rong Ci watched and lowered her head.

Seeing Feng Tingshen was unwilling, the old lady didn't insist.

Rong Ci naturally didn't have any social engagements today.

She said this, first because she didn't want to sit in Feng Tingshen's car again, and second, she didn't want to trouble him.

Nothing special happened that day.

So Rong Ci stayed at the company, worked overtime until past nine, and then drove home by herself.

When she arrived home, she was surprised to find that Feng Tingshen had actually returned.

Because if there was nothing special, he usually returned home very late.

Feng Tingshen was not in the bedroom. Rong Ci turned on the light, put her bag aside, and was about to go to Feng Jingxin's room to see her, when she noticed a red book on her vanity.

Rong Ci was stunned.

Although she and Feng Tingshen shared a bedroom, in reality, the left side of the bed belonged to Feng Tingshen's area, and she usually wouldn't go to his side if there was nothing to do.

Similarly, the right side was her area, and Feng Tingshen usually wouldn't set foot there either.

Some of their daily items, such as wallets, watches, skincare products, etc., were naturally placed in their own positions.

They were never placed in a mess.

Therefore, this red book couldn't have been placed in the wrong position by Feng Tingshen.

Thinking of this, Rong Ci walked over.

Only after getting closer did she realize it was a property deed.

She immediately had a guess in her heart and hurriedly opened it to look.

Sure enough, it was the property deed for the villa opposite her uncle's house.

Moreover, the property owner on the deed was written with her name alone.

Seeing this, before Rong Ci could react, Feng Tingshen returned to the room.

Rong Ci heard the footsteps, turned to look at him, and said seriously: "I've seen the property deed, thank you." After saying this, before he could speak, she added: "I don't have that much money on hand right now; I'll pay you back for the house in a while—"

Although it was an old villa area, the villa environment was good, plus Ducheng's housing prices were top-notch in the country, so this villa couldn't be bought for less than two or three hundred million.

She couldn't come up with this money right now.

Feng Tingshen had also just returned not long ago. He was loosening the bowtie on his neck, and hearing her words, he might have found it interesting, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said flatly: "You want to give me money?"

"Yes, I—"

"No need." He put the untied tie aside and said: "I can still afford this little bit of money."

After saying this, he put down the watch he had taken off and went into the bathroom.

Rong Ci watched his back, was stunned, and didn't insist anymore.

After marriage, in order not to trouble him, she had almost never taken the initiative to ask him for anything.

Thinking about it this way, this house could be said to be the first thing he had actively given her in so many years.

Just consider it a souvenir for their marriage that was about to end.

Thinking of this, Rong Ci put the property deed into the drawer.

After being busy for two or three days, by the fourth day, Rong Ci was finally not so busy.

She and Feng Tingshen had both been busy these past few days, and they didn't have much time to spend with Feng Jingxin. At noon, Feng Jingxin called and asked if she had time, saying she hadn't been to school to pick her up after school for a long time.

Rong Ci heard this, saw that there wasn't much left to do, and left work early in the afternoon to pick Feng Jingxin up from school.

Hearing Feng Jingxin say she wanted to eat the food she cooked, after arriving home, Rong Ci changed her clothes and entered the kitchen.

Rong Ci left work early, and the old lady was also happy. Seeing Rong Ci cooking personally, she called Feng Tingshen and asked him to come home for dinner.

Feng Tingshen refused on the other end of the phone: "Grandma, I have something to do at the company."

The old lady was unhappy, but then she smiled happily. After hanging up, she said to Rong Ci: "Xiao Ci, go send food to Tingshen later!"

Rong Ci paused and refused: "Grandma, since he has something to do, let's not disturb him—"

"He has to eat even if he's busy, right?"

"Grand—"

Before Rong Ci could finish her sentence, the old lady made the final decision: "It's settled then."

Then, the old lady directed Auntie Liu and the others to help make two more dishes.

With the old lady's stance, Rong Ci couldn't say much.

But if she really had to send food to Feng Tingshen, she didn't even know which company he was at right now, so how could she send it?

Besides, Feng Tingshen probably had other arrangements after he finished his work; even if she sent the food over, it might be a wasted trip.

Thinking of this, she found an opportunity to go upstairs and called Feng Tingshen.

After a while on the other end, Feng Tingshen answered the phone: "What is it?"

"Grandma asked me to send you dinner." Rong Ci didn't wait for him to speak and added: "Do you have other arrangements? If so, I'll tell Grandma."

She felt it was impossible for Feng Tingshen to let her send him dinner.

What she said actually meant for him to cooperate with her.

"Mm, you tell Grandma—"

Feng Tingshen had just started speaking when Rong Ci heard Lin Wu's voice.

"Tingshen, the food is here."

Rong Ci paused.

Feng Tingshen replied to Lin Wu: "Okay."

Then, he said to Rong Ci on the phone: "I have arrangements for dinner here; tell Grandma."

Rong Ci was not surprised.

She said: "Okay, I know, I will tell Grandma."

"Mm."

After saying this, Feng Tingshen hung up the phone immediately.
