Her eyes welled up with tears, and her mind went blank for a moment.
However, she quickly regained her senses and hurriedly said, "Thank you. Then, you—"
Before she could utter the words "What are the conditions for your agreement", Feng Tingshen suddenly moved the cigarette away, reached out, and wiped away the teardrop that had just slid out of the corner of her eye, saying, "Go to bed early."
Rong Ci was stunned, staring at his departing figure, and for a moment, she forgot to react.
When she finally came to her senses, she was momentarily at a loss as to what to do.
When Feng Tingshen told her to go to bed early, did he mean for her to stay the night here?
Although she had moved out, since they hadn't officially divorced, staying for one night wasn't really a big deal.
However, if she stayed in the master bedroom...
Forget it.
Thinking of this, after calming herself down, she picked up her things, grabbed a change of clothes and some daily necessities, and went to Feng Jingxin's room.
That night, she stayed in Feng Jingxin's room.
The next day.
She woke up before seven.
After she had been awake for a while, Feng Jingxin also woke up. Hugging her neck, Feng Jingxin coquettishly asked her to take her to school later.
Rong Ci agreed.
After washing up, they went downstairs for breakfast.
A short while later, Feng Tingshen also entered the dining room and sat down opposite them.
Feng Jingxin greeted Feng Tingshen energetically, "Good morning, Dad."
"Morning."
Feng Tingshen responded, glanced at Rong Ci, but didn't say anything. After sitting down, he quietly started having breakfast.
Rong Ci watched but also remained silent.
Feng Tingshen had agreed to help her yesterday, but that didn't mean there would be any change in their relationship.
Their relationship was still the same as before.
After breakfast, Rong Ci took Feng Jingxin to school and then went to work at the company.
Since participating in the technology exhibition, both Rong Ci and Yu Moxun had many new ideas. However, they had been busy with the cooperation with Xun Du before and didn't have much time for in - depth discussions.
Now that they had the time, they began to finalize their ideas and find ways to move things forward.
So, they had a lot on their plate today.
Rong Ci even planned to order takeout for dinner and then work overtime at the company until late at night.
But at around six in the afternoon, when she was still busy and hadn't even had time to order takeout, her phone rang.
It was Feng Tingshen calling.
Rong Ci glanced at it, excused herself to the others, left the meeting room, and answered the phone, "Hello."
"Grandma's here," Feng Tingshen said. "Come back early."
Rong Ci was taken aback. Before she could say anything, Feng Tingshen had already hung up.
Rong Ci came to her senses, returned to the meeting room, told Yu Moxun that she had something to attend to and had to leave first, and then added, "Later, you guys organize the meeting progress and the problems that have arisen and send them to me. I'll find time to deal with them."
This way, she wouldn't hold up everyone's progress.
Yu Moxun pushed his glasses and said, "Got it. Hurry up and go."
Half an hour later, Rong Ci drove back to the villa.
Feng Tingshen's frequently - used car was already parked nearby.
He should have already returned.
As she thought this, when she entered the door, she indeed saw Feng Tingshen.
He was sitting on the sofa chatting with Mrs. Feng and Feng Jingxin.
He was also the first to notice her return.
However, he didn't say anything.
When the old lady saw her, she stood up with a smile and said, "Xiao Ci's back?"
"Yeah."
The old lady patted her hand and said, "You must be hungry, right? The food is almost ready. Let's have dinner first."
"Okay."
This time, without Mrs. Feng having to prompt, Feng Tingshen directly sat down beside her.
The old lady picked up some food for her and sighed, "Look at you, you've lost weight again. Why are you so bad at taking care of yourself?"
As she said this, she glared at her grandson.
Her grandson remained unfazed, but without the old lady's reminder, he took the initiative to pick up food for Rong Ci.
Rong Ci said, "Thank you."
The old lady also said that she had brought a lot of tonics for them. After dinner later, she would have someone pick some for Rong Ci and Feng Tingshen to nourish their bodies.
Rong Ci couldn't refuse and could only nod repeatedly.
When the old lady was young, she had also gone to City Y to make a living and was excellent at cooking slow - simmered soups. After dinner, she wanted to personally guide the cooking of tonics for Rong Ci and Feng Tingshen. When Rong Ci wanted to go in and help, the old lady pushed her out of the kitchen.
Rong Ci had to sit down on the sofa.
Feng Jingxin and Feng Tingshen were also there.
One was handling matters on the phone, and the other was playing with her burr puzzle.
Both were quiet and didn't say a word.
At this time, Yu Moxun happened to have something to ask her. She looked at the content he sent and immediately replied to his message.
She was so engrossed in her work that she didn't even notice when the old lady came out of the kitchen.
Feng Tingshen, however, had already put down his phone.
Rong Ci quickly put down her phone and said, "Grandma."
The old lady looked at the three - member family and sighed, "You two..."
She didn't know what else to say. She walked over and sat down next to Rong Ci, asking her, "What are you so busy with?"
"Just work at the company..."
The old lady snorted and pointed at Feng Tingshen, "If you have work - related matters, you can talk to him. Otherwise, is he just here as a decoration?"
Rong Ci paused.
She didn't mention that she had resigned from Feng's Group.
She glanced at Feng Tingshen.
He seemed to be in a rather good mood. Hearing the old lady's words, he didn't say anything to her about Rong Ci's resignation.
Presumably, he was worried that if he said it, the old lady would ask Rong Ci to go back to work at Feng's Group.
The old lady quickly changed the topic and then pulled Rong Ci and Feng Tingshen to accompany her for a walk in the garden.
After the walk, the old lady was sleepy and said to them, "I'm going to take a bath and rest first. When the tonic soup is ready later, remember to drink it."
Rong Ci was about to say okay, but when she realized that the old lady meant to stay here for the night, she was taken aback and looked at Feng Tingshen.
Feng Tingshen seemed to know what she was thinking. After the old lady walked a little further away, he said, "Grandma said she'll stay here for a while."
"What?" Rong Ci froze in place.
Feng Tingshen didn't give much explanation and said, "I'm going to the study."
After saying that, without waiting for her reaction, he went upstairs.
Feng Jingxin then ran down from upstairs and pulled her upstairs to help her solve the burr puzzle.
After Rong Ci accompanied Feng Jingxin for over an hour, Aunt Liu came to her with the stewed soup, "Madam, the soup is ready."
She put down one of the bowls.
Rong Ci took it and said, "Thank you."
"The old lady said it should be drunk while it's hot."
"Okay, I know."
Aunt Liu left to take the other bowl of soup to Feng Tingshen.
Rong Ci drank the soup while it was hot and then urged Feng Jingxin to take a bath.
Since the old lady was staying here, she naturally couldn't sleep in Feng Jingxin's room.
After Feng Jingxin took a bath, Rong Ci returned to the master bedroom.
Feng Tingshen wasn't there.
He should still be in the study.
There were some things that Yu Moxun had sent that she hadn't dealt with yet.
She quickly replied to some of them.
But there were also some difficult points.
While thinking, she walked into the bathroom.
When she finished taking a bath and put on her pajamas, she realized that she had forgotten to get her sleep pants.
A lot of the clothes she had changed out of earlier got wet when she washed her face.
Feng Tingshen probably hadn't come back yet...
Thinking of this, she hesitated for a moment, pushed open the bathroom door, and walked out.
But as soon as she walked out, she met Feng Tingshen's gaze.
