Chapter 1229: 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?"

"I have," Ruan Feng replied. "Mianmian, I came over this time to talk to you about getting married from home."

Shen Mianmian smiled a little, "You seem in such a good mood, she must have agreed, right?"

Ruan Feng nodded with a smile, "Yes, she agreed. After the divorce, her temper has improved a bit, and there are some things she can figure out on her own without them being said."

After a pause, he continued, "Mianmian, I know she did some unforgivable things before, and I won’t tell you to forget the past and forgive her. However, I still hope that you can leave home for your wedding happily, without any psychological burdens."

" Dad, I understand what you’re saying, don’t worry! It’s my wedding, and as long as she’s not unreasonable, I won’t be resentful," Shen Mianmian said, her tone light.

Ruan Feng breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Mianmian, to have you as my daughter in this lifetime is my blessing."

Shen Mianmian wasn’t too fond of such sentimental atmospheres, so she joked, "Dad, don’t say that. To have you and my brother is my blessing too. If it weren’t for you guys, the world’s judgment of me these past five years would probably have been even worse. When I had Xiaobei back then, neither you nor my brother ever criticized me; I’m already grateful for that."

After all, unmarried motherhood was not so easily accepted in this day and age.

Speaking of things that happened five years ago, Ruan Feng became somewhat contemplative, "I never thought I’d live to see your wedding with Xiaonan. It’s worth it."

As they talked, a sudden knock on the door was heard. Shen Mianmian turned around and saw Tang Ling standing at the doorway, holding a gift, "Mianmian."

Shen Mianmian and Ruan Feng exchanged glances, both somewhat surprised.
