~8 min read 1,427 words

Feng Tingshen didn't look at Rong Ci, gently brushed Feng Jingxin's little nose: "Dad has something to do, you be good and listen to your mom, be obedient."

"Got it." Feng Jingxin said reluctantly, turned her head to look at Rong Ci, and when she walked to Rong Ci's side, she stretched out her hand to Rong Ci, letting her hold her.

This counted as actively making up with her.

Rong Ci held her hand, greeted the butler, and went out the door.

When they arrived at the Rong family, Old Lady Feng had already arrived for a while.

Seeing only the mother and daughter, and not seeing Feng Tingshen, Old Lady Feng immediately darkened her face: "Where's Tingshen? Busy again?"

Rong Ci: "Mm."

Old Lady Feng angrily picked up her phone to call Feng Tingshen, Old Lady Rong already knew Rong Ci and Feng Tingshen were about to divorce, and she also thought Feng Tingshen had no need to come over anymore.

She stopped Old Lady Feng and said: "He's busy with work, I understand, don't force him."

Entering the door, Feng Jingxin went upstairs to play video games with Rong Yunhe.

Rong Ci accompanied the two old ladies to chat.

Old Lady Feng saw the two new paintings by Old Lady Rong and liked them very much. When she learned they were painted using the four treasures of the study Rong Ci gave her on her birthday, she was also very interested in that set of four treasures of the study.

After seeing it, she also loved it very much, and speaking of this, she said again: "Where's Tingshen? Tingshen didn't prepare anything?"

"He prepared." Mentioning Feng Tingshen, Old Lady Rong was unhappy, but still said: "The set of emerald jewelry he sent is of very good quality, and the embroidery picture he helped you send over is also very good."

Old Lady Feng smiled: "That's more like it, it seems he listened to my words."

Rong Ci listened and didn't interrupt.

After being stuffy in the study for a while, the two old ladies came out to the courtyard to drink tea.

Old Lady Rong looked at the house opposite and chatted: "It's strange to say, some days ago this house was being renovated day and night, I thought the owner of the house was in a hurry to move in, didn't expect it to stop work suddenly some days ago."

Old Lady Feng smiled: "Maybe something happened, and they didn't move in."

"Maybe."

Regarding this house, Rong Ci wanted to deal with it, but was worried it would be bought by the Lin family or Sun family in the end.

She hadn't dealt with it.

She hadn't gone in to look either.

Because the Sun family had handled it, she didn't want to go in and look.

So it had been shelved like this.

Just thinking about this, she suddenly sneezed, and her back felt a chill.

Both old ladies were concerned for the first time: "Are you okay? Could it be you caught a cold?"

Rong Ci took a tissue to wipe her nose and said: "Maybe."

She might have caught a cold last night too, it was just that the reaction wasn't as obvious as Seeing Dan Dan's.

Old Lady Rong and Old Lady Feng were friends for many years.

But regarding what happened at her birthday banquet, and Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu's affairs, she didn't mention a word to Old Lady Feng.

The two of them were just happily talking about everything.

Rong Ci sat for a while, Chu Zilan's call came through, telling her she ran into Feng Tingshen and the Lin family again.

Saying Feng Tingshen was eating with the Lin family.

Chu Zilan said: "Damn, why do I run into such things every time?! I don't want to!"

Saying this, she asked where she was.

Rong Ci said: "At my grandmother's."

"You went back alone?"

"And Miss Xin Xin and Grandma Feng."

Chu Zilan understood in seconds: "So Feng Tingshen doesn't accompany you back to the Rong family, but comes over to Lin Wu's side to accompany the Lin family?"

Rong Ci didn't say a word.

After finishing the call, Rong Ci sneezed again.

Rong Ci's aunt He Mingxue was worried if she had caught a cold, so she cooked her a bowl of ginger soup. After Rong Ci drank it, she felt her head was heavier, and she fell asleep not long after.

When she woke up, she realized she had a fever.

And it was a high fever, making her head dizzy.

Feng Jingxin leaned over to her side, looking a bit worried: "Mom, are you sick?"

Rong Ci: "Mm."

Old Lady Feng was also very worried, wanting to take her back to the Feng family to let the old Chinese doctor they often used see her, saying the old Chinese doctor was fast to cure.

Old Lady Rong felt her illness came too fiercely and shouldn't be dragged on for too long, so she let her go back to the Feng family old house with Old Lady Feng to let the old Chinese doctor see her.

Returning to the old house, after the old Chinese doctor came, he prescribed her some medicine, Rong Ci drank a bowl, and went upstairs to sleep again.

When she woke up again, she felt the heaviness of her body and head had improved a lot.

She opened her eyes and found the small lamp on the side was on. Turning her head to look, she saw Feng Tingshen sitting there reading a book.

She paused.

Only then did she realize she was in the old house, in Feng Tingshen's room.

It was also the place where he grew up.

Maybe hearing the movement, Feng Tingshen turned to look over: "Awake?"

Rong Ci felt her throat was uncomfortable, and her mood wasn't very good, she didn't want to talk to him, so she didn't open her mouth.

She put on the coat on the side, just about to get out of bed, Feng Tingshen brought her a glass of water and handed it to her.

Rong Ci paused, and two seconds later took it, also not saying thank you.

Feng Tingshen didn't say anything either, reaching out to touch her forehead, Rong Ci's head was heavy, but her reaction wasn't slow, and she dodged.

Feng Tingshen looked, paused, withdrew his hand, stood up and said: "Zhang Lao is still downstairs, I'll have him come up to see you."

When the words fell, without waiting for her to speak, he stood up and went downstairs.

A few minutes later, Zhang Lao, Old Lady, and Feng Tingshen, Feng Jingxin all entered the room.

Zhang Lao checked Rong Ci and said she was much better, but the medicine still needed to be taken, saying she was physically weak and had knots in her heart, so she was easy to get sick when catching a cold, and needed to nourish her body well.

Rong Ci listened and nodded.

Old Lady Feng asked again: "Is Xiao Ci hungry?"

Rong Ci wasn't feeling well at noon and didn't eat a few mouthfuls of rice before falling asleep.

Now it was already close to evening, Rong Ci was indeed hungry, but had no appetite.

But the old lady let her eat at least a little, then ordered Feng Tingshen to go downstairs to bring up the food prepared for Rong Ci in the kitchen.

Feng Tingshen listened and turned to go downstairs.

A while later, he brought the food upstairs.

Old Lady Feng and Zhang Lao left.

Feng Tingshen didn't leave, Rong Ci was eating on the side, he sat on the side reading a book.

Rong Ci took a look and found that he was still reading the book she had been reading at the hot spring resort before.

She hadn't noticed before, and only now discovered that he hadn't returned the book to her.

She frowned: "You—"

Feng Tingshen smiled and said: "I read it for half an hour that day and found some of your ideas were indeed quite interesting, giving me some new ideas, so I took it and flipped through it when I had nothing to do."

Rong Ci pursed her lips and ignored him.

She originally had no appetite, and now she had even less.

Feng Tingshen supported his face and looked at her, saying: "So many years, still can't even argue?"

Rong Ci turned her face away.

Feng Tingshen sighed and said: "Okay, not annoying you, eat quickly."
