His invitation letter

Here is the translation of the passage into English:

Rong Ci lightly covered her nose with her hand before casually releasing it and taking a small step back, increasing the distance between herself and Feng Tingchen.

It seemed that Feng Tingchen hadn't noticed her actions. He simply opened the invitation and glanced at it: "Seventieth birthday?"

"Mm," Rong Ci replied. This time, she didn't ask him whether he was free, nor did she plead for him to spare some time to attend the birthday banquet. Instead, she simply said, "Please tell my parents for me."

It was unclear whether Feng Tingchen noticed that she didn't ask him if he could free up time that night to attend. He looked at her for a moment, then casually put the invitation aside and said, "Got it."

With that, he turned and entered the bathroom.

Rong Ci glanced at his back. After putting away the hairdryer, she went to Feng Jingxin's room to help her take a bath.

After giving Feng Jingxin a bath, washing her hair, and drying her hair, nearly an hour had passed.

Feng Jingxin, holding onto her arm, snuggled up to her and asked if she could sleep with her that night.

Considering the current situation between her and Feng Tingchen, what could she say?

Rong Ci returned to the master bedroom, grabbed her things, and before leaving the room, she told Feng Tingchen, "I'm going to sleep in Jingxin's room."

Feng Tingchen, who was reading, simply replied with a casual "Mm," without asking further or attempting to stop her.

The next day, after breakfast, Rong Ci, at Feng Jingxin's request, took her to school and then returned to the company.

Grandma's birthday was approaching, but in the past month, she had been busy handling company matters and hadn't even bought a gift for her grandmother yet.

During lunch, Rong Ci called Chu Zilan and asked her to accompany her that evening to shop for a gift.

As soon as Chu Zilan heard that it was for her grandmother's birthday, she immediately agreed.

She still hadn't delivered the invitation to Feng Tinglin.

After hanging up, Rong Ci called Feng Tinglin. The phone rang through but wasn't answered.

Rong Ci knew that Feng Tinglin didn't like her—or any of the Rong family members for that matter. The fact that Feng Tinglin wasn't answering might have been intentional.

However, for Grandma's sake, she still had to go through the proper process.

After the call ended, Rong Ci tried again. This time, the call was directly hung up.

Rong Ci understood that Feng Tinglin was deliberately avoiding her call.

But she didn't mind. She was just going through the motions.

She sent Feng Tinglin a message explaining the purpose of her call and asked when she would be free so she could deliver the invitation.

After sending the message, she didn't care whether Feng Tinglin responded or not and continued with her work.

That evening, after dinner with Chu Zilan, they shopped for a long time but still couldn't find a gift that satisfied Rong Ci.

Chu Zilan suddenly said, "There's a charity auction the day after tomorrow evening. Why don't we check it out then?"

"But I don't have an invitation…"

Chu Zilan looked a bit troubled. "The invitations for this auction were sent out half a month ago. At this point, it's really difficult to get one. But… if you want…"

The implication was clear.

She was suggesting that Rong Ci ask Feng Tingchen for help.

Around 9 PM, after parting ways with Chu Zilan, Rong Ci finally returned to Feng Tingchen's villa.

When she arrived, she found that Feng Tingchen was already back and was in the study, working.

Rong Ci knew that he didn't want her near his study, so she stayed in the bedroom, reading while waiting for him.

It wasn't until nearly 1 AM that Feng Tingchen returned to the bedroom.

When he saw her looking at him, he asked indifferently, "Something on your mind?"

Rong Ci didn't beat around the bush. She directly said, "I heard there's a charity auction at Chonghua the day after tomorrow…"

Feng Tingchen elegantly removed his tie, looked at her for a moment, then said, "You want an invitation to the auction?"

Rong Ci was a little taken aback. "Yes."

"Understood."

Without another word, Feng Tingchen turned and went into the walk-in closet, and shortly after, entered the bathroom to take a shower.

His prompt and decisive response surprised Rong Ci.

But since he had agreed, she relaxed and felt reassured.

It was getting late. She put down the book, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep before he had finished his shower.

Because the auction was the day after tomorrow, the next evening, after leaving Changmo, Rong Ci returned to the villa.

However, when she arrived, Feng Tingchen wasn't there, but Feng Jingxin was.

When Feng Jingxin saw her, she immediately clung to her, asking for something delicious to eat.

Rong Ci agreed.

After dinner, the butler suddenly came to her with something. "Madam, someone just delivered this for you."

Rong Ci opened it.

It was the invitation to tomorrow's Chonghua charity auction.

Feng Tingchen had really managed to get it for her.

And there were two invitations.

However, since he had sent it through someone, did this mean he wouldn't be coming back tonight?

As she was thinking this, she was about to go take a bath when her phone suddenly buzzed twice.

Chu Zilan had sent her two messages.

Rong Ci opened them and paused for a moment.

It was a screenshot from a Moments post.

In the screenshot, there was a photo of a fireworks festival, with Lin Wu smiling sweetly in the foreground and Feng Tingchen's back visible in the background, with the caption: "Tonight's fireworks festival is beautiful."

In the photo, there were also many couples among the crowd, suggesting that the fireworks festival was a popular spot for couples.

From Lin Wu's caption, it was clear that the fireworks festival was beautiful, but her happy, loving expression suggested that the true beauty was the mood she was in—because she was with Feng Tingchen.

Feng Tingchen hadn't come home because he had gone on a date with Lin Wu—and he hadn't even brought Feng Jingxin along…

Rong Ci looked at the message calmly, but she was a little confused and replied to Chu Zilan's message.

[Did you add Lin Wu as a friend?]

Otherwise, how would she have the screenshot from Lin Wu's Moments?

[I have a friend who knows her. She mentioned it, so I asked her to send me a screenshot.]

What Chu Zilan didn't mention was that her friend was now envious of Lin Wu.

Because almost everyone in their circle now knew that Lin Wu had gotten close to Feng Tingchen, and he treated her like a treasure.

Thinking about the extra invitation, Rong Ci sent another message to Chu Zilan, asking if she wanted to go with her to the auction the next day.

Chu Zilan immediately excitedly replied, "Of course, we're going!"

That night, Feng Tingchen didn't come back.

Rong Ci had already guessed that.

After all, he and Lin Wu had gone on a date. After the fireworks festival, they probably had an even sweeter and more wonderful night ahead.

Since Feng Tingchen hadn't returned, she was fine with sleeping alone in the bedroom.
