Chapter 1225: The 1225th Chapter Thought Work 2

This was Ruan Feng’s first time coming back after the divorce. To tell the truth, Ruan Lingyu was a bit happy inside, but she put on a very unwelcoming face.

"I came back to see how you were doing," Ruan Feng explained casually, and then asked, "Do you have a fever?"

While he spoke, he had already walked up to Ruan Lingyu and touched her forehead, which indeed felt hot. "There’s fever-reducing medicine downstairs, I’ll go get it."

He went downstairs, and Ruan Lingyu followed suit, saying, "We’re already divorced, you can talk without touching and grabbing."

Ruan Feng: "..."

He found it a bit amusing. They had been married for so many years, both now over fifty, and he was merely checking to see if Ruan Lingyu had a fever. How did this turn into inappropriate touching?

"Even though we’re divorced, we were married for decades. If you’re sick, can’t I even touch your forehead? You’re still so stubborn."

Hearing Ruan Feng’s helpless yet concerned words, Ruan Lingyu retorted stubbornly, "Once divorced, we should act like it. Otherwise, what’s the point of divorcing?"

"Fine, you’re always right, I won’t argue with you." Ruan Feng went back to the room to get the fever-reducing medicine for Ruan Lingyu, and instructed, "Take the medicine and get some sleep, sweating it out will help."

Perhaps the mentality of a sick person becomes fragile, Ruan Lingyu was hoping for company right then, but she was reluctant to admit it, instead asking, "It’s so late, are you going back afterwards?"

Ruan Feng deliberately said, "We’re divorced now, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to stay over."

"You..." Seeing him using her words against her, Ruan Lingyu was at a loss for words and upset.

Knowing she was sick and not wanting to make her angry, Ruan Feng said with a laugh, "Just kidding, why get mad? You’re sick, I won’t leave tonight."

"If you want to leave, just go. Don’t make it sound like I’m the one stopping you," Ruan Lingyu was happy inside, but as always, she resisted showing it.

"It’s my own decision to stay, not because you asked me to," Ruan Feng said.

Hearing this, Ruan Lingyu felt much better. Since her divorce, aside from Fu Hua, many friends’ attitudes towards her had noticeably changed, including Cheng Xining’s. When she called to arrange a meeting, Cheng Xining always declined, claiming to be busy.

Later on, he stopped taking her calls all together.

Ruan Lingyu finally realized that Cheng Xining never really cared for her as an aunt; his previous warmth was merely because she was Ruan Feng’s wife. Now that she wasn’t, she was nothing to him.

She was heartbroken and regretful for treating Cheng Xining so well in the past, but she was powerless to change anything.

Feeling unwell these past few days, with Ruan Yiqian busy with Shen Mianmian’s wedding, she didn’t want to tell Ruan Yiqian. Struggling to sleep at night, she didn’t expect Ruan Feng would suddenly come back, and although her words were unwelcoming, her heart felt very much warmed.

But Ruan Lingyu also knew, Ruan Feng wouldn’t come back for no reason, so she said, "Spill it! What brings you back this time?"

Ruan Feng’s gaze flickered, "I just came back to check on you."

Ruan Lingyu was ill, Ruan Feng wanted to wait until she had slept and was feeling better before discussing these matters because he knew Ruan Lingyu’s temperament well. If he mentioned it now, Ruan Lingyu would probably get upset, which wasn’t good for her recovery.

Ruan Lingyu sneered mockingly, "We’ve been married for how many years? And you’re still telling me these empty words in front of me? Do you think I would believe that?"
