Chapter 565

Watching the car drive away, Yao Xinbo stared in shock: “Damn, they’re still together? Lin Xiaoju risked her life to save him, and Feng Tingshen treats her like this? Honestly, I even feel sorry for Lin Xiaoju.”

Then he added: “And that Rong Ci is truly shameless.”

Ren Ji didn’t speak, but his expression turned terrifyingly dark.

Rong Ci naturally had no knowledge of what was happening on Yao Xinbo and Ren Ji’s side.

After spending the whole afternoon with Feng Jingxin, that evening, Feng Jingxin returned with Rong Ci to the Rong household.

The next morning, Rong Ci personally dropped Feng Jingxin off at school.

Feng Jingxin was in excellent spirits; after getting out of the car, she skipped and bounced toward the school, waving goodbye to Rong Ci.

Back in class, her classmate Xiao HaiKui waved at her: “Xin Xin, you’re here! My mom specially made these peach pastries for everyone—try one!”

Feng Jingxin put down her bag, took the pastry, and said: “Okay, thank you.”

Tian Tian, eating the pastry Xiao HaiKui gave her, asked: “HaiKui, isn’t your mom working out of town? How did she have time to make so many snacks for you?”

Xiao HaiKui beamed with pride: “Mom said she couldn’t bear to be away from me, didn’t want to miss any part of my growth, so she applied for a transfer to a job near home. Now I’ll see her every day, just like before.”

“Wow, HaiKui, your mom is so great.”

“Of course she is—my mom loves me the most, which is why she couldn’t even last a month away from me and specifically transferred back near home just to spend more time with me.”

Seeing that Tian Tian and Feng Jingxin had nearly finished their pastries, Xiao HaiKui generously offered: “Do you want more? I still have some.”

Xiao HaiKui’s mom made the snacks incredibly delicious; Tian Tian loved them and asked for another piece, but Feng Jingxin lowered her eyes: “I ate a big breakfast—I’m full, thanks.”

Xiao HaiKui didn’t press, but Tian Tian noticed Feng Jingxin’s expression had changed: “Xin Xin, what’s wrong? Why do you suddenly look so down?”

Feng Jingxin still held the last piece of pastry, uneaten.

She had no appetite left.

Hearing this, she bit her lower lip and said nothing.

Seeing that Feng Jingxin was truly upset—and seemed on the verge of tears—Tian Tian froze, startled and flustered.

Feng Jingxin turned her pretty face away, hiding her reddened eyes from Tian Tian, and said: “I’m fine. Go on.”

Tian Tian: “Oh… okay.”

That afternoon, after school, it was still the family driver who came to pick up Feng Jingxin.

But Xiao HaiKui and Tian Tian and most of their classmates were picked up by their own family members.

For the past half year, Feng Jingxin had occasionally gone home or to the Rong household after school.

So after she got in the car, the driver asked as usual: “Where to tonight?”

That morning, when she left home, Feng Jingxin had planned to return to the Rong household that night.

But now, hearing the driver’s question, she sat quietly in the car, watching the other children happily run toward their families, and after a moment of silence, said: “Home.”

Driver: “Alright.”

Back home, Feng Jingxin ate her dinner obediently, then went upstairs to do homework, but her face remained expressionless.

Liu Shen naturally noticed her odd mood and asked: “Xin Xin, are you upset?”

Feng Jingxin lowered her head: “No.”
