She doesn't bother to care

Rong Ci's face flushed bright red, and she was extremely embarrassed. She quickly pulled back the collar that Shandan had been tugging on.

He Changbai's eyes darkened. Once he came to his senses, he immediately turned around and averted his gaze.

The nanny beside them was also terribly awkward.

Fortunately, there was no one else around. Otherwise, it would have been even more mortifying.

She quickly helped Rong Ci straighten her clothes.

Rong Ci was usually quite conservative and had truly never exposed her body in front of a man other than Feng Tingshen...

Especially since this man was Feng Tingshen's good friend. She felt even more ill - at - ease.

After tidying up her clothes, she still looked a bit uncomfortable and said, "I still have something to do. I'll leave first."

Only then did He Changbai turn around and say, "I'm sorry."

Shandan also knew that she had done something wrong and thought she had made Rong Ci unhappy. Her eyes welled up with tears as she took the initiative to apologize in a small voice, "Aunt, I'm sorry..."

Rong Ci knew that she hadn't done it on purpose and couldn't bring herself to be harsh on the little girl. She said, "It's okay. Aunt knows you didn't mean it."

After saying that, she gave a faint smile, waved to Shandan, and then turned around and entered the elevator.

He Changbai watched as the elevator doors closed. Then, he said to Shandan, who was in his arms, "Shandan, you can't hold onto other people's collars like that in the future. Do you understand?"

Shandan nodded vigorously. "Mhm, I understand..."

...

Since she had to go back to the Feng family's old mansion for dinner.

Around 4 p.m., after the group activities were over, Rong Ci prepared to leave early.

As she was leaving early, Yu Moxun accompanied her to the parking lot and exhorted, "Drive carefully."

"Got it."

As Rong Ci was speaking, a car slowly drove towards them.

Rong Ci didn't pay much attention at first. But then the rear - seat window slowly rolled down, and Shandan stuck her little head out and waved at her. "Goodbye, aunt!"

Rong Ci gave a faint smile and said, "Goodbye, Shandan."

After she finished speaking, noticing that He Changbai was looking at her, she paused and nodded at him as a greeting.

He Changbai also nodded. Then, after taking a look at Yu Moxun beside her, he retracted his gaze.

Watching his car drive away, Yu Moxun stroked his chin. "I don't know why, but I felt like He Changbai was sizing me up just now."

Rong Ci didn't pay much heed. "Really? Why would he size you up?"

How could Yu Moxun know?

He just had that feeling.

After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Could it be that he saw me walking too close to you and thought our relationship was too ambiguous, so he's keeping an eye on me on behalf of his good brother, Feng Tingshen?"

Upon hearing this, Rong Ci's smile faded a bit. She said dismissively, "Don't worry. It definitely isn't for that reason."

He Changbai and the others also had a very good relationship with Lin Wu.

Obviously, they hoped that Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu would be together more than they hoped for her and Feng Tingshen.

He and Qi Yuming probably wished that she would have an ambiguous relationship with someone else and leave Feng Tingshen alone. How could they be worried that she would cuckold Feng Tingshen just because she might have an ambiguous relationship with another man?

After getting in the car, Rong Ci drove away.

When she arrived at the old mansion, it was already completely dark.

Apart from the servants in the old mansion, only Mrs. Feng was there.

When she learned that Rong Ci had returned, Mrs. Feng personally came out to welcome her.

When she saw that Rong Ci was alone, the old lady's smile froze for a moment. "Where's Jingxin?"

It was quite common for Feng Tingshen not to come back in the same car as her, so she didn't ask much about that.

But didn't Feng Jingxin usually come back with her?

Ever since her foot had healed and she went to the villa to have a meal with Feng Jingxin, Feng Jingxin had never contacted her again.

As for where the father - daughter pair had gone this weekend and who they were with, Rong Ci had no idea at all.

She didn't even bother to ask.

Now, hearing the old lady's question, Rong Ci smiled and said, "They should be here soon."

Although she said so, in fact, it was uncertain whether they would come tonight or not.

After all, wasn't it the same situation when they went to the hot - spring villa last time?

When the old lady heard her say this, she thought that Rong Ci knew the itinerary of Feng Tingshen and his daughter, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Rong Ci entered the house and chatted with the old lady for quite a while. It was almost 7:30, but there was still no sign of Feng Tingshen and Feng Jingxin.

The old lady frowned. "What time is it? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

As she spoke, she obviously also remembered the incident when Feng Tingshen was absent during the trip to the hot - spring villa last time.

With an unpleasant expression, she said to Rong Ci, "Xiaoci, call and remind them."

Rong Ci had no choice but to pick up her phone and call Feng Tingshen.

He answered quickly.

Guessing the purpose of her call, he spoke first. "We'll be there in twenty minutes."

Just as Rong Ci was about to speak, Feng Jingxin's voice came through the phone.

"Goodbye, Aunt Wu."

Rong Ci lowered her eyes.

They were indeed with Lin Wu.

Just as she thought of this, Lin Wu's voice reached her ears. "Mhm, goodbye, Jingxin."

Then, she heard Lin Wu gently say to Feng Tingshen, "I'll go up first."

Feng Tingshen replied, "Mhm."

At this time, she heard Feng Tingshen ask her in a cold tone, "Anything else?"

Rong Ci came back to her senses and said, "No."

After she finished speaking, she immediately wanted to hang up the phone.

But Feng Tingshen hung up faster than her.

Rong Ci: "..."

"What's wrong? Are they not coming back again?" The old lady said, annoyed. "Tingshen is really—"

"No," Rong Ci said with a faint smile. "It's rush - hour traffic. They'll be here in twenty minutes."

When the old lady heard this, her expression finally improved a bit.

But she was still very angry. "Then let's eat first and ignore him. He deserves to eat the leftovers!"

The butler beside them smiled and reminded, "Miss Jingxin is still in the car..."

The old lady was momentarily at a loss for words. Then she snorted again. "For the sake of my little great - granddaughter, I'll let him off this time!"

Rong Ci listened, smiled, and didn't respond.
