The next day.
When Feng Tingshen arrived at the company, he bumped right into Rong Ci.Rong Ci had no idea that Feng Tingshen and Feng Jingxin had already returned to the country.
Suddenly running into him at the company caught her off guard, and her footsteps came to an abrupt halt.Seeing Rong Ci, a hint of surprise flashed in Feng Tingshen’s eyes.
However, he simply assumed she had just returned from her business trip and didn’t think much of it.
Expressionless, he treated her like a complete stranger, coldly brushing past her and turning to walk into the building.In the past, finding out he had suddenly returned would have filled Rong Ci with immense joy.
In a moment like this, even if she couldn’t throw herself into his arms, she would have looked at him with eyes full of excitement and adoration.
Even if he was cold, she would have smiled and proactively wished him a good morning.
But now, Rong Ci took one glance at his strikingly handsome face before lowering her eyes.
The excitement and joy that used to define her expressions were completely gone.
Feng Tingshen didn’t notice any of this, as he had already walked away.
Staring at the man’s steady and tall back, Rong Ci didn’t know when he had returned.
But since he was back, the divorce proceedings would probably be put on the agenda soon, right?
Having made up her mind to divorce him, Rong Ci stopped dwelling on thoughts of Feng Tingshen.
Returning to her desk, she immediately threw herself into her work.
Half an hour later, Jiang Zhe called and instructed her, “Make two cups of coffee and bring them to Mr.
Feng’s office.”
Back when she wanted to make Feng Tingshen fall in love with her, she had spent a lot of effort researching his love for coffee.
Her hard work had paid off.
After tasting the coffee she brewed, Feng Tingshen demanded only her coffee, whether at home or in the office.
When she found out he had truly fallen in love with the coffee she made, she had been thrilled for a long time, believing it was the first step toward success.
In reality, she had underestimated his dislike and defensiveness toward her.
It was true that he liked the coffee she brewed.
But it was only the coffee that he liked.
As for her, his attitude remained as cold and distant as ever.
So, whenever he wanted to drink her coffee, he would usually instruct Jiang Zhe to contact her.
And after she had finished brewing it, Jiang Zhe or one of the other secretaries would come to pick it up.
He never gave her even a sliver of an opportunity to get close to him.
Only occasionally, when Jiang Zhe and the others were busy, would she have the chance to deliver the coffee to his office personally.
And this time, judging by Jiang Zhe’s tone on the phone, he was telling her to bring it directly to Feng Tingshen herself.After brewing the coffee, Rong Ci placed it on a tray and carried it over to Feng Tingshen’s office.
The door to his office was open.
As she reached the doorway and was about to knock politely, she saw Lin Wu sitting on Feng Tingshen’s lap.
The two of them seemed to be kissing.Rong Ci froze, her face turning deathly pale in an instant.
Seeing her, Lin Wu hurriedly climbed off Feng Tingshen’s lap.
Feng Tingshen’s expression was extremely dark.
He said coldly, “Who gave you permission to come here?!” Visit g.com for the full chapter.
Rong Ci gripped the tray tightly in her hands.
“I came to bring you some ca—”
“Alright, Secretary Rong.”
Feng Tingshen’s other personal secretary, Cheng Yuan, happened to arrive at that moment.
He knew about the relationship between Rong Ci and Feng Tingshen.He said, “You know, this is actually quite pathetic.”
Cheng Yuan didn’t spell it out directly, but Rong Ci suddenly understood his underlying meaning.
He thought she knew Lin Wu had come to the company, and in order to disrupt their time together, she was using the excuse of delivering coffee to show up here…
Judging by Feng Tingshen’s expression, he seemed to think the exact same thing.
In the past, she might have actually done something like that.
But now, she was about to divorce him.
How could she possibly still do something so ridiculous?
But they didn’t give her any chance to explain.
Cheng Yuan said coldly, “Please leave immediately!”
Rong Ci’s eyes reddened.
Her hands holding the tray trembled slightly, causing the coffee to slosh out and scald her fingers.
She winced in pain but didn’t make a sound as she turned and walked away.
But she had only taken two steps when Feng Tingshen’s voice echoed from the office behind her, “If there is a next time, you won’t need to come to the company anymore.”
She had already resigned.Even without this incident, she would have left the company the moment a replacement was found.
But she knew that no one here cared about anything regarding her.
There was no point in saying anything.Rong Ci remained silent, turned around with the tray, and left.
Before she was completely out of earshot, she heard Lin Wu gently coaxing Feng Tingshen, “Alright, Tingshen.
I don’t think she meant to do it on purpose.
Please don’t be angry anymore…”
Rong Ci poured the coffee down the drain.
She ran her scalded, red fingers under the faucet, then skillfully pulled a tube of burn ointment from her bag to treat the wound.
Despite her excellent cooking and coffee-brewing skills now, the truth was that before marrying Feng Tingshen, she couldn’t do housework, couldn’t cook, and had never even drunk coffee.
But after marriage, for the sake of Feng Tingshen and their child, she had learned it all.
She had spent countless hours mastering these skills, going from being absolutely terrible to achieving absolute perfection.
Only she knew the bitterness behind it.
As for the first-aid ointment in her bag—what mother who took care of her child personally wouldn’t habitually carry some medicine for minor injuries?
However, ever since Feng Jingxin had gone to Country A with Feng Tingshen, she had rarely needed to use the ointment.
Fortunately, it hadn’t expired.
After treating her wound, Rong Ci suppressed the needle-like pain welling up in her heart and returned to her desk to continue working.
Feng’s girlfriend is at the company!”
“Girlfriend?
Mr.
Feng has a girlfriend?
Who is she?
What’s her background?
Is she pretty?!”
“I don’t know her background, but I heard the receptionist downstairs say she’s from a wealthy family too.
She’s super gorgeous and has an amazing aura!”
The two colleagues were chatting when they saw Rong Ci stand up.
Remembering they had to go downstairs for a meeting with her, they quickly shut their mouths and walked over with apologetic smiles.
“Let’s focus on work first.
We can gossip later.”
Rong Ci knew that the “Mr.
Feng’s girlfriend” they were talking about was actually Lin Wu.
But hearing it, her face remained expressionless.
She turned and walked out of the office, joining the two colleagues in the elevator.
After getting off the elevator, the three of them were about to head toward the conference room when they saw Lin Wu walking toward them, accompanied by four of the company’s top executives.
The four executives surrounded Lin Wu, their expressions cautious, sycophantic, and fawning.
Lin Wu smiled and said, “Thank you all for accompanying me on this tour of the company.
You’ve worked hard.”
Dressed head-to-toe in designer brands, every gesture she made exuded the aura of a wealthy heiress.
Her words were polite, yet she acted as if she were already the lady of the house.
There was a distinct sense of distance in her politeness, as if she were treating the executives as her own subordinates.
The executives smiled obsequiously.
“Given your relationship with Mr.
Feng, this is merely our duty.
Miss Lin is too kind.”
“Yes, yes, indeed.”
As they spoke, they saw Rong Ci and the others step out of the elevator.
Even though the three women had automatically stepped to the sides to clear their path, the executives’ brows still furrowed the moment they saw them.
“How are you walking?
What if you bumped into Miss Lin?
You have absolutely no manners!”
