Chapter 1229: Thawing Relations
Ruan Feng knew Ruan Lingyu’s temperament all too well. Now that she had spoken up, if he didn’t go inside, Ruan Lingyu would feel like she had lost face, and her temper would flare up again, so he nodded and said, "Alright, my back is actually a bit sore from sleeping on the couch."
Seeing how cooperative he was, a hint of a smile appeared in Ruan Lingyu’s eyes, but she still chided him, "Who asked you to sleep in the living room without a word? Although we’re divorced, we were a couple for so many years. You still care about me being sick, so how could I cold-heartedly let you sleep on the couch?"
"I just didn’t want to disturb your sleep, did I?"
The two of them talked as they returned to the room. Since neither of them felt sleepy, they chatted about the old days when they were younger, and without realizing it, they didn’t even know when they had fallen asleep.
The next day, Ruan Feng had breakfast and then prepared to go tell Shen Mianmian the good news. However, Ruan Lingyu said, "Since Mianmian is getting married from here, we should tidy up the house, right? How can it be proper without any festive vibe? If it wasn’t happening here, then forget it, but since it is, we should get things in order. I don’t want people talking behind my back if it’s not done right."
Hearing this, Ruan Feng hurriedly replied, "I’ll stay here these next few days and clean up the house while taking care of you. You’ve lost quite a bit of weight recently."
"If you want to clean the house, just clean it. Don’t use taking care of me as an excuse." Ruan Lingyu went upstairs, turning away.
Knowing that Ruan Lingyu wanted the house to feel festive but was too proud to say it outright, Ruan Feng left the house with a smile.
When he arrived at Shen Mianmian’s place, she had just woken up. He Nan had taken He Xiaobei to school in the morning, and Shen Mianmian, who had a good sleep, had lounged in bed for a while and was just now having breakfast. Seeing Ruan Feng arrive, she quickly said, "Dad, have you eaten yet?"
