Someone beside him asked, “What’s wrong?””It seems I just saw someone I know.”
They had grown up with Feng Tingshen since childhood, and they all knew that Rong Ci was in love with him.Honestly, Rong Ci was very beautiful, but she was quiet.
Beautiful as she was, she lacked distinctiveness and wasn’t Feng Tingshen’s type.
Since Feng Tingshen kept his distance from her, they didn’t think much of her either.
They hadn’t seen her often, and even when they did, they couldn’t be bothered to greet her.
Honestly, her face was already a bit blurry in his mind, and he wasn’t entirely sure if he had misidentified her.
But even if it really was Rong Ci, he didn’t care.
He didn’t say anything more, turned around, and went back to the private room.
…
Rong Ci hadn’t noticed Qi Yuming.
After leaving the hotel, she dropped her friend off at Chu Zilan’s place and stayed there to take care of her that night.
When Chu Zilan woke up and saw Rong Ci, she hugged her gratefully.
“You worked hard last night.
I’ll treat you to dinner another day!”
Rong Ci had already made breakfast.
She patted her friend’s head.
“Get up and wash.
Breakfast is going to get cold.”
Chu Zilan hugged her, burying her little face against Rong Ci’s waist, reluctant to let go.
“Xiao Ci, you’re so soft and smell so good.
Holding you is so comfortable~”
Rong Ci: “…”
After washing up, Chu Zilan saw the fragrant breakfast Rong Ci had prepared on the table.
She felt incredibly happy and genuinely thought that whoever married Rong Ci had struck gold.
But thinking of Rong Ci’s marriage to Feng Tingshen, she didn’t say it out loud, afraid it would make Rong Ci sad.
She sat down, eating her breakfast while playing on her phone.
But after a moment, her expression changed.
She couldn’t help but ask Rong Ci, “Feng Tingshen is back in the country?”
Rong Ci replied, “Mhm.”
Chu Zilan handed her phone to Rong Ci.Rong Ci took a look and saw it was a post on the social media feed of Qi Yuming, one of Feng Tingshen’s friends.
He had posted several photos from their gathering the night before.
The caption read: Happy Birthday to our beautiful birthday girl.
Although it was to wish Lin Wu a happy birthday, four or five of the nine photos were couple shots of Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu.
Especially when cutting the cake, Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu were holding the same crystal knife together.
As for their daughter, Feng Jingxin, she hadn’t appeared in any of the photos from start to finish.
She was probably kept out of the frame to prevent the elders at the Feng family estate from finding out.
After all, the old matriarch and Lin Wu’s grandmother were good friends, and because of the history between their mothers, the old matriarch had never liked Lin Wu.If the old matriarch found out that Feng Tingshen was letting Feng Jingxin be close to Lin Wu, she would probably be furious.

Just looking at the photos, someone who didn’t know the truth would think Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu were a genuine couple.
But it was also obvious that this birthday party had been specially prepared by Feng Tingshen for Lin Wu.
Thinking of the cold treatment she had received on her own birthday half a month ago, Rong Ci looked away.
Chu Zilan looked at her with worry.
“Xiao Ci—”
“It’s fine.
Whatever happens with them has nothing to do with me anymore.”
Rong Ci handed the phone back to her.
“I’ve asked Feng Tingshen for a divorce.”
“What?!”
Chu Zilan was completely shocked.
“You…
you took the initiative to ask for a divorce?!”
“Mhm.”
Chu Zilan hadn’t actually disliked Feng Tingshen before.
On the contrary, she had admired him in the past, and had even had a crush on him.
It wasn’t for any other reason than that Feng Tingshen was simply too outstanding.
Rong Ci had skipped three grades, graduating from the country’s top university before she was eighteen, and had quickly founded her own tech company, securing several patents.
In Chu Zilan’s eyes, that was already godlik.
But Feng Tingshen had reportedly graduated from university at thirteen.
Not long after graduating, Feng Tingshen had gone abroad for further studies.
It was said that by the time he returned from abroad, he had already founded several companies of his own, and all of them had gone public.
And at that time, Feng Tingshen wasn’t even twenty years old!
Feng Tingshen’s companies spanned technology, pharmaceuticals, entertainment, and tourism.
A few years later, while continuing to build his own companies, he had also taken over Feng Group.
In just a few years, he had effortlessly taken Feng Group to the next level.
Who in the circle wouldn’t give a thumbs up when talking about Feng Tingshen?
Not to mention, Feng Tingshen’s appearance was also exceptionally striking.
So, Chu Zilan wasn’t surprised that a genius like Rong Ci had fallen for a genius like Feng Tingshen.However, Feng Tingshen was indeed ruthless enough to those he didn’t like.
Thinking of how Feng Tingshen had misunderstood Rong Ci all these years and wantonly trampled on her sincere affection, Chu Zilan had completely lost her admiration for him.
Chu Zilan had seen with her own eyes how much Rong Ci loved Feng Tingshen.
Over the years, she had advised Rong Ci to divorce him more than once.
But Rong Ci had always silently shaken her head.
So, she truly had never imagined that Rong Ci would take the initiative to ask for a divorce.
She couldn’t even finish her breakfast.
Looking at Rong Ci with heartache, she asked, “What happened?”
For Rong Ci, who had always loved Feng Tingshen so steadfastly, to take the initiative to divorce, Chu Zilan knew something must have happened that she didn’t know about. This chapter was copied from novelping(.)com without permission.
Rong Ci thought for a moment and said, “Actually, it’s not any one big thing.
Maybe I just accumulated enough disappointment, and suddenly felt tired, so I wanted a divorce.”
Chu Zilan knew Rong Ci’s personality.
She knew that once Rong Ci made a decision, even if she might not be able to completely let go of Feng Tingshen right now, she wouldn’t change her mind easily.
She was serious.Chu Zilan went over and hugged Rong Ci.
“It’s fine.
Getting a divorce is a good thing.”
Rong Ci replied, “Mhm.”
After breakfast, Rong Ci left Chu Zilan’s place and went to work.Before she moved out, although she and Feng Tingshen worked at the same place, they always left one after the other and had never commuted together.
Plus, he was so defensive against her that sometimes they wouldn’t even run into each other once a month at the company.
Now that she had moved out, she had bumped into him two days in a row.
Today’s Feng Tingshen was as handsome, tall, and steady as before, and just like before, the coldness on his face was even more apparent every time he saw her.
Just like yesterday, Feng Tingshen only glanced at her before looking away.
Rong Ci lowered her eyes and, just like yesterday, softly called out, “Mr.
Feng.”
Only after he had walked away did she step into the company.
She didn’t know if Lin Wu had come to the company today, nor did she care.
She focused silently on her own work.
By noon, her grandmother had called her.
“Xiao Ci, an entire sheep was delivered from City X.
The weather is getting colder now.
Come home for dinner tonight.
Grandma will have someone prepare a whole sheep feast for you.”
Hearing the old lady’s kind voice, Rong Ci felt a warmth in her heart.
“Okay, I’ll head back as soon as I get off work.”
Apart from the morning, Rong Ci didn’t run into Feng Tingshen again that day.
That day, just as she was packing up and getting ready to leave work on time, Cheng Yuan handed her a document, asking her to handle it urgently.Rong Ci paused.
Although he said it was urgent, Rong Ci glanced at the contents and knew that the document wasn’t actually needed right away.
In the past, she would have smiled and accepted it, promising to finish it as soon as possible.
Because she didn’t want to be treated as a special case.
But today, she didn’t want to strive for perfection anymore—especially when it came to matters involving Feng Tingshen.
Besides, she was tired.
Right now, she just wanted to go home early to accompany her grandmother.
She didn’t want to work overtime.In the past, she had always wanted to build a good relationship with Feng Tingshen’s personal secretaries.
But now, there was no need anymore.Furthermore, Cheng Yuan had falsely accused her without investigating the truth yesterday.
She wasn’t magnanimous enough to just pretend nothing had happened.
She looked at Cheng Yuan and said coldly, “I won’t do this work right now.
I’m getting off work.”
