Chapter 81: Keeping secrets for Uncle

Rong Ci paused and asked her, "When do you want to go?"

"This..."

Feng Jingxin hesitated a little.

Rong Ci knew that she actually just wanted her to accompany her when both Lin Wu and Feng Tingshen were busy.

But she didn't know when Lin Wu and Feng Tingshen would be busy.

That was why she hesitated.

Rong Ci withdrew her gaze and said, "It's okay. When you want to go, just tell Mom, and Mom will take you when I'm free."

Feng Jingxin said happily, "Okay!"

A busy week passed.

On Friday evening, Rong Ci got off work relatively early.

When she returned home and was just thinking about making something to eat, Feng Jingxin's call came through.

Rong Ci paused before answering the phone.

"Mom, I'm going this week!"

Rong Ci had promised her that she would tell her when she wanted to go skiing.

But she didn't plan to take her tomorrow.

Tomorrow's itinerary could be considered half a social engagement for her.

She didn't want to spend energy taking her along while socializing.

She said, "Mom isn't free tomorrow, change the time."

Feng Jingxin acted like a spoiled child, "No, I just want to go on Saturday. Mom, just accompany me on Saturday, okay?"

"This week, if you still want to go next week, Mom will accompany you."

Feng Jingxin wouldn't listen and still wanted to act spoiled to make Rong Ci soften her heart: "Mom..."

Rong Ci remained unmoved: "If you still want to go next week, just tell Mom again. Remember to eat well and don't be a picky eater."

After saying this, Rong Ci hung up the phone.

Feng Jingxin didn't call back again.

Based on her understanding of Feng Jingxin, she was probably angry with her.

Rong Ci didn't care and went into the kitchen to start making dinner.

The next day.

When she got up, He Zhangbai called again to ask if he should send a car to pick her up.

Rong Ci refused.

After breakfast, Rong Ci drove to the ski resort.

When she arrived at the ski resort, He Zhangbai and Seeing Dan Dan had already arrived.

Seeing her, He Zhangbai looked over, while Seeing Dan Dan pushed away He Zhangbai's hand and ran happily toward Rong Ci: "Auntie!"

When Seeing Dan Dan threw herself into her arms, Rong Ci hugged her gently, looked at Seeing Dan Dan's raised smiling face, and touched her cheek: "Seeing Dan Dan seems to have grown a little taller, and there's more meat on her face, she's even prettier."

Hearing Rong Ci praise her, Seeing Dan Dan nodded happily: "Mm! I ate a lot of meat."

Rong Ci smiled and was about to speak when Seeing Dan Dan suddenly took a crystal keychain out of her pocket: Seeing Dan Dan: "Auntie, this is for you."

The keychain was a miniature pink cat bag with a little white kitten inside, very exquisite.

It was very similar to the one that had been clipped onto Feng Jingxin's school bag zipper for some time, but a different color.

He Zhangbai seemed to often take Seeing Dan Dan, Feng Tingshen, and Lin Wu out to play together.

It was normal for Seeing Dan Dan and Feng Jingxin to have the same keychain.

Rong Ci paused but didn't ask further, smiling: "It's very beautiful, Auntie likes it very much, thank you Seeing Dan Dan."

Hearing Rong Ci say she liked it, Seeing Dan Dan was even happier, pulling Rong Ci inside: "Auntie, let's go skiing."

Rong Ci: "Okay."

Seeing them walk inside, He Zhangbai asked Rong Ci: "Have you had breakfast? We brought you breakfast, if you haven't eaten yet, why not eat a little?"

Rong Ci: "No need, I've already eaten."

"Okay."

After putting on their clothes and goggles, they started to go skiing.

Seeing Dan Dan didn't really know how yet, but Rong Ci had known for many years, so she slowly took Seeing Dan Dan skiing.

There were quite a lot of people at the ski resort on Saturday and Sunday.

Worried about them being bumped into, He Zhangbai followed beside them so that if someone accidentally bumped into them, he could protect them.

However, there were really too many people today.

They had only been playing for more than an hour when they were bumped into by two girls.

Seeing Dan Dan was fine, but Rong Ci bumped her whole body into He Zhangbai.

He Zhangbai reflexively wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her in and protecting her steadily in his arms.

Suddenly pressed against his broad embrace, Rong Ci was stunned and immediately felt uncomfortable. She wanted to push him away but found her foot was a bit uncomfortable.

He Zhangbai didn't let go: "Did you twist your foot?"

"It seems... yes."

He Zhangbai called the staff over, had them protect Seeing Dan Dan, and then bent down to pick Rong Ci up.

Rong Ci thought he would let the staff help her.

Being suddenly picked up by him, she was a bit dazed, then resisted: "Put me down first, I—"

He Zhangbai: "The doctor is already waiting, let's deal with your foot problem first."

Rong Ci paused and didn't move again.

Entering the house, He Zhangbai put Rong Ci down.

The doctor waiting on the side checked Rong Ci and found it was just a minor dislocation. After setting the bone for Rong Ci, she was fine very quickly.

He Zhangbai asked Rong Ci: "Are you still skiing?"

"I'm fine, I can continue."

Since she had come, she didn't want to ruin Seeing Dan Dan's fun.

Hearing the doctor say her leg was indeed fine, he didn't refuse.

At this moment, someone in the distance looked at them.

"Yaoyao? What are you looking at?"

Sun Liyao: "I think I saw an acquaintance."

The side profile of the person in front really looked a lot like He Zhangbai.

But he was with a child and a woman, this... shouldn't be He Zhangbai, right?

When she wanted to take two steps forward to see clearly, the other party had already put their hats and goggles back on and left.

For the next hour or so, Rong Ci and Seeing Dan Dan were bumped into twice more, but they weren't hurt.

Seeing He Zhangbai holding her hand to support her, Rong Ci struggled gently and said: "I'm okay, thank you."

He Zhangbai then let go of her wrist.

At noon, they left the ski resort and went to a nearby restaurant to eat.

He Zhangbai handed the menu to her and let her order.

At this moment, Seeing Dan Dan remembered something and asked Rong Ci: "Auntie, what is your name?"

"Rong Ci, Auntie's name is Rong Ci."

Seeing Dan Dan nodded: "Auntie Rong."

Rong Ci smiled and touched her little face.

Perhaps it was because skiing was too tiring, Seeing Dan Dan started to doze off before she finished eating.

He Zhangbai took Seeing Dan Dan into his arms and wiped the oil stains from the corner of her mouth.

Rong Ci had also eaten enough, put down her chopsticks, and said: "Let's leave it at this for today?"

"Okay." But He Zhangbai didn't stand up immediately, instead looking at her and saying: "Can I invite you again next time?"

Rong Ci said: "Yes."

He had helped her, and since Seeing Dan Dan needed her, it was only right for her to help him a few times.

"Thank you."

"It's only right."

Since Seeing Dan Dan was asleep, Rong Ci still felt they had nothing to talk about, so she turned and left without saying much more.

Watching her drive away, He Zhangbai stood for a while before getting into the car.

When they got home, Seeing Dan Dan woke up.

"Auntie Rong left again?"

"Mm." He Zhangbai held her and suddenly said: "By the way Seeing Dan Dan, from now on just call her Auntie, don't call her Auntie Rong, you know? Also, Auntie's name, Seeing Dan Dan, help Uncle keep it a secret, don't tell others yet, okay?"

Seeing Dan Dan nodded obediently: "Okay."
