Feng Jingxin jumped right out of bed.
“Really?!”
“Mhm.”
“Then why didn’t Auntie Wuwu tell me just now?”
“It was just confirmed.
I haven’t told her yet.”
Feng Jingxin was overjoyed.
“Then Dad, don’t tell Auntie Wuwu about this yet.
Let’s give her a surprise when we get back to the country, okay?!”
“Alright.”
“Dad, you’re the best!
I love you so much!”
After hanging up, Feng Jingxin was still extremely happy, singing and dancing on her bed.
A while later, she suddenly thought of Rong Ci.
For the past few days, she had been in a great mood because her mother hadn’t called her.
Actually, in order to avoid talking to her mother on the phone, she had intentionally left for school early a few days ago and had even put her phone far away or turned it off when she got home from school.
After two days, worried that her mother would be angry if she found out, she had stopped doing that.
But to her surprise, her mother hadn’t called her at all for the next few days.
At first, she thought her mother had found out that she was deliberately missing her calls.
But then she thought again, based on past experience, if her mother knew she had done something wrong, she would definitely correct her immediately, rather than getting angry and refusing to call.
After all, in her mother’s heart, she was the most important.
Her mother loved her the most.
She simply didn’t believe her mother could really bear to get angry with her and not call!
Thinking of this, Feng Jingxin suddenly missed Rong Ci a little.
This was the first time in many days that she had missed her mother.
She couldn’t help but dial Rong Ci’s number.
But just as the call went through, she suddenly thought that although she would be able to see Auntie Wuwu soon after returning to the country, knowing her mother’s personality, her mother would definitely try every means to stop her from seeing Auntie Wuwu.
She would never be able to see Auntie Wuwu whenever she wanted, like she could here.
Thinking of these things, Feng Jingxin’s mood suddenly soured.
It was the early hours of the morning in the domestic country.
Rong Ci was already asleep.
She was awakened by Feng Jingxin’s incoming call.
Waking up and seeing her daughter’s name on the screen, she was just about to answer when Feng Jingxin angrily hung up.
Although Rong Ci had stated in the divorce agreement she gave to Feng Tingshen that she was giving up custody of Feng Jingxin, Feng Jingxin was, after all, her daughter.
She still bore a certain responsibility toward her.
Seeing that her daughter had called and then suddenly hung up, she worried that something might have happened and quickly dialed back.
Feng Jingxin saw the incoming call, turned her little face away, and refused to answer.
Rong Ci grew even more worried and immediately dialed the landline at the villa over there.
Aunt Liu picked up quickly.
After hearing Rong Ci’s explanation, she hurriedly said, “The young miss should be fine.
She went to sleep very late last night and woke up late today.
When I went upstairs just now, she was still asleep.
Let me go up and check, and I’ll call you back in a moment.
“Hearing Aunt Liu’s words, Rong Ci finally relaxed.
”
Alright, thank you for your trouble.
“When Aunt Liu went upstairs, Feng Jingxin was already washing up in the bathroom.After Aunt Liu explained the situation, she lied with her head down while gargling, ”
I accidentally pressed it.
Aunt Liu didn’t suspect a thing.
Seeing that she was brushing her teeth, she went back downstairs to reply to Rong Ci.
Watching her leave, Feng Jingxin snorted, and her mood finally improved a bit.Hearing Aunt Liu’s explanation, Rong Ci also felt relieved.However, having been suddenly awakened, she couldn’t fall back asleep for a long time.
When she got up for work the next day, she was not in good spirits.
As for the envelope containing the divorce agreement that Rong Ci had left for Feng Tingshen, he hadn’t thought about it at all since answering Lin Wu’s phone call that day.
On the day of their return to the country, Feng Tingshen put the last document into his briefcase.
After making sure he hadn’t forgotten anything, he turned and went downstairs.
“We’re ready.
Let’s go.”
The stretched limousine soon drove away from the villa, heading to the airport.
…
Rong Ci had no idea that Feng Tingshen and the others were returning to the country.
No one had told her.
It had been half a month since she moved out of the villa.
Over these half a month, she had gradually gotten used to and come to enjoy the quiet and leisurely life of living alone.
Today was the weekend, and she had slept in a bit.
After getting up and washing up, she pulled open the curtains.
Seeing the beautiful sunshine outside, she stretched lazily.
After watering her plants, she was just about to make a simple breakfast for herself when the doorbell rang.
It was Mrs.
Fang, the neighbor who lived across from her.
“Miss Rong, did I wake you?”
Rong Ci said gently, “No, I’m already awake.”
“Glad to hear it,”
Mrs.
Fang said enthusiastically.
“These are steamed buns and dumplings freshly made at our house this morning.
I brought some over for you to taste.”
“Thank you, this…
you’re too kind.”
“It’s the least I can do.
If you hadn’t saved my Tiantian the other day, who knows what that mad dog would have done to her.
We’ve been wanting to properly thank you for days, but my husband and I have been so busy with work that we couldn’t find the time.
We feel so bad…”
“It was just a simple favor, Mrs.
Fang.
You’re too polite.”
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Mrs.
Fang left.Rong Ci went back inside, eating her breakfast while reading up on the algorithm mechanism of an AI model she had been researching recently.
In the afternoon, a notification regarding the centennial celebration of T University popped up on her phone.
Rong Ci paused.
Checking the date, she suddenly remembered that today was indeed T University’s birthday.
She went online and saw several trending topics related to #TUniversityCentennial#.
The reason the celebration was so highly anticipated this time was not only because T University was the top university in the country, with its every move drawing widespread attention, but also because it was the first centennial celebration.
Therefore, a particularly large number of distinguished alumni had been invited back to attend.
These honorary alumni were all highly respected experts in various fields.Rong Ci stared at the screen for a long moment.
When she saw several familiar faces appear on the screen, her hand holding the phone trembled.
Memories of her school days immediately flooded her mind.
Her heart suddenly grew chaotic.If she hadn’t rushed into marriage right after graduating with her bachelor’s degree, perhaps she would have been one of the honorary alumni invited back to attend the ceremony today, too.Rong Ci closed her laptop.
After hesitating for a moment, she drove to T University.By then, it was already afternoon.
Many of the VIPs who had been invited to attend the ceremony had already left.
But the campus was still crowded with people.
Rong Ci wandered aimlessly across the campus alone.
Just as she walked beneath the familiar science building, a familiar voice called out to her.
“Xiao Ci?”
Twenty minutes later, in a teahouse just off the T University campus.Yu Moxun poured a cup of tea for Rong Ci.
“How have you been lately?”Holding the teacup, Rong Ci lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.
”
Pretty well.
It’s just…
I’m preparing for a divorce.
Yu Moxun hadn’t expected to hear such an answer.
He paused for a moment.
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine.”
“What are your plans next?
Do you want to come back to the company?”
“I do have that intention, it’s just…”
Yu Moxun didn’t know what her concerns were, but he spoke to her very seriously, “Xiao Ci, the company needs you.
You have a stake in this company, too.
I hope you can come back and take charge.”
“I…
I…”
Looking at Yu Moxun’s earnest expression, Rong Ci found it hard to speak.It wasn’t that she didn’t want to.
It was just that the AI field was developing too rapidly now.
She had been away from the industry for six years.
Even if she went back now, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to keep up with the times, let alone lead everyone to the forefront of the industry as she had back then.
