Xinxin, don’t you have a mother either?

He Changbai looked at Feng Tingshen, paused for a moment, and then took the glass. "Thanks."

The two of them clinked glasses and started chatting while sipping their drinks.

After a while, Feng Tingshen suddenly gave him an extra look.

He Changbai raised his eyes. "What's wrong?"

Qi Yuming chimed in, "You seem... off today."

Feng Tingshen smiled faintly, which was an indication that he agreed with Qi Yuming's statement.

He Changbai maintained a calm expression and said indifferently, "Do I?"

Qi Yuming raised his eyebrows. "Don't you?"

He Changbai took a sip of his wine and remained silent.

At this moment, someone else came over to greet them.

After the person left, He Changbai checked the time. Worried that Shandan might be hungry and was just about to go over to her when Shandan and Feng Jingxin returned.

Shandan asked, "Uncle, can I go and have the small cakes over there?"

Shandan had an allergic constitution and couldn't eat many things. He Changbai said, "You sit here. Uncle will get them for you."

"Okay."

Feng Jingxin was different. She was used to having freedom and was in good health. She would go and get whatever she wanted to eat by herself. After bringing some food back, she even asked Feng Tingshen, "Dad, do you want some?"

Feng Tingshen ruffled her hair. "No need."

The two children sat aside, eating. Whenever Lin Wu found something delicious, she would also share it with Feng Jingxin.

Feng Jingxin happily accepted it. "Thank you, Aunt Wu."

Shandan looked up at Lin Wu in confusion and then asked Feng Jingxin, "Xinxin, isn't this aunt your mom?"

As soon as she said this, the entire place fell silent.

Feng Jingxin paused and shook her head. "No, she isn't."

Shandan asked cautiously, "Do you not have a mom either?"

Feng Jingxin shook her head. "No, I have a mom."

"Oh..."

Some souvenirs were distributed on the cruise. Shandan was really fond of one particular crystal key - chain and picked out two. There were only two of this style in total.

Feng Jingxin actually liked it too. Seeing that Shandan had taken both, she couldn't help but ask, "Shandan, can you give me one? I want to give it to Aunt Wu."

Shandan was a bit reluctant. "I... I also want to give it to my aunt..."

Thinking of Rong Ci, Shandan couldn't help but share with Feng Jingxin, "Today, my uncle and aunt accompanied me to fly a kite, fish, ride a bike, and chase butterflies... My aunt is very beautiful. She will definitely like this crystal..."

The adults were all there. They hadn't paid much attention to the children's conversation at first. But upon hearing this, Lin Wu, Qi Yuming, and Feng Tingshen all looked towards He Changbai.

Qi Yuming immediately said, "Changbai, what's going on? Or should I say, is there something going on?" The more Qi Yuming talked, the more excited he got. Without waiting for He Changbai to answer, he asked again, "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell us? Right, Tingshen!"

Feng Tingshen smiled and just looked at He Changbai, eager to hear what he had to say.

He Changbai kept a straight face and said, "It was just a chance encounter."

"Really?" Qi Yuming didn't believe it. As if remembering something, he said, "So, you had lunch with her too? No wonder I was thinking how you, a big guy, managed to take care of a child so easily. Turns out you had some help!"

He Changbai fell silent.

Feng Tingshen looked at him and declared, "You have feelings for her."

He Changbai paused, opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't refute.

Lin Wu was taken aback, and her smile faded.

"Damn, it's actually true?" Qi Yuming had just been teasing before, but he never expected it to be true. He quickly asked, "Who is she? Do we know her? Why don't you bring her here for us to meet?"

He Changbai didn't say anything. Qi Yuming thought that he didn't want to talk about it because things were still in the early stages.

Knowing that it was useless to ask He Changbai, Qi Yuming smiled, squatted down, and asked Shandan, "Shandan, how many times have you seen the aunt who had lunch with you today? Do you know her name?"

He Changbai's hand gripping the glass tightened suddenly. "Yuming!"

Shandan didn't understand the adults' thoughts. She wasn't very familiar with Qi Yuming. But when he asked about Rong Ci, Shandan thought for a moment and answered without any guard, "Three times!"

"What's the aunt's name..."

When He Changbai and Rong Ci met today, he didn't even address her by her name. Shandan really couldn't remember what Rong Ci was called.

She looked at He Changbai for help. "Uncle, what's the aunt's name?"

He Changbai lowered his eyes. "Next time you see her, Shandan, you can ask her yourself."

Shandan nodded happily. "Okay."

Qi Yuming said, "…You're so stingy."

He Changbai ignored him.

Seeing how much Feng Jingxin liked the crystal key - chain in her hand, although Shandan felt a bit reluctant, she still gave one to Feng Jingxin.

Feng Jingxin was delighted. "Thank you, Shandan."

Lin Wu also expressed her gratitude.

Shandan said, "You're welcome..."

Seeing how happy Feng Jingxin was, she asked her, "Xinxin, aren't you going to pick one for your mom?"

Feng Jingxin paused, and her voice weakened a bit. "I'll pick one later..."

"Oh..."

...

After having dinner, Rong Ci read for a while and then went to the bathroom to take a bath.

Just as she came out of the bathroom, she received a call from Rong Changsheng. "Xiaoci, I saw Xiang Rufang in the neighborhood just now."

Xiang Rufang, Lin Wu's aunt?

Rong Ci was stunned. Before she could react, she heard Rong Changsheng say, "At first, I didn't pay much attention. But after I entered the house, I realized that she went into the villa across from ours that's being renovated!"

Rong Ci's face changed abruptly, and she suddenly sat up on the bed.

Rong Changsheng usually had a pretty good temper. But at this moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "They... must have done it on purpose!"

The fact that Feng Tingshen had helped the Lin family establish a firm foothold in the capital was now well - known in the business circles of the capital. Although the Rong family wasn't doing well currently, Rong Changsheng was still part of the business circle. How could he not know about this? However, he was afraid of making Rong Ci sad, so he hadn't mentioned it to her.

If the Lin family was going to settle in the capital next and they needed to buy a property, he could understand. But Lin Wu and the others knew that the Rong family lived here. The capital was so big, yet they deliberately bought a house right across from the Rong family's. If they said it wasn't on purpose, who would believe it?

Rong Ci also understood what he meant.

She clenched her phone tightly and said, "I... I'll call Feng Tingshen."

"Okay."

For other matters, Rong Changsheng wouldn't ask Rong Ci to plead with Feng Tingshen. But this was different.

If Xiang Rufang and the others really moved in, they would probably flaunt their presence in front of the Rong family every day. The old lady's health wasn't very good now, and she couldn't bear such stimulation...

After hanging up the phone, Rong Ci immediately called Feng Tingshen.

It took a while for someone to answer the phone.

"Hello."

It was Lin Wu's voice.
