g soundly, none the wiser to their sudden burst of activity. She opened the door and scrambled out, gasping for breath, without even bothering to put on her boots; she remained in her cotton slippers....Rong Fei's right little finger twitched spasmodically. (..tw) For a moment, he felt a chill rising from his feet, surging up into his soles, climbing his ankles, and wrapping around his calves, causing his legs to feel slightly cold and numb. It seemed that during the short walk from getting out of the car to holding up an umbrella and entering this house, he had inadvertently allowed the damp coldness of the rain to seep into his shoes, and it was only now beginning to take effect.

He was barely able to stand, his eyes glazed over. He moved mechanically, propelled only by instinct, until he slumped onto the sofa beside him. But his leg felt numb and strange, as if it didn't belong to him at all.

He was reminded of that scene in the rain years ago. He stood under his umbrella at the corner of a narrow alley, waiting for her. Watching her walk towards him with a round belly, stepping over puddles, getting closer and closer, only to pass him by and walk away step by step until she disappeared completely.

At that time, the damp chill clung to him like a shroud, as if adhering to his feet. Then at a particular moment, it would appear, following him relentlessly, like a shadow.

His old face was slightly pale, and his head started to throb with pain. Was Rong Ling proposing a trade To agree to take in Doudou in exchange for him and Xiao Zhu no longer being involved!

Actually, his connection with Piglet has always been limited. These days, even though he cared, he successfully held back and didn't call her. For the past thirty years, their relationship was also superficial, not involving anything further. He seemed to be able to do it, but --

No, no!

Being able to do something and completely giving it up are two entirely different things. Just thinking about the fact that this woman will have nothing to do with him anymore makes him miss her. He can't even call her, get close to her, or even steal a glance at her without feeling unbearable pain.

He couldn't agree to such an exchange.

He thought for a moment, then deliberately ignored Rong Ling's words and said.

Rong Ling wasn't moved at all. What does it matter if they say something resembles this or that Just because someone comes over to get close, should he cater to them entirely! What kind of logic is that!

“You don’t need to say more. I had already made my decision before you arrived.” He pressed on with a cold face. “For the sake of our mother, I can take the child in, but you have to stop being involved with her. This is a very profitable deal, you should know this!”

Feng still avoided this topic. "Rong Ling, Dad begs you, just take Duodu, okay"

Rong Ling let out a sneer. "You can't divorce Du Caixin, and what business is it of yours to involve my mother To you, my mother is just an inconsequential person. Let her replace your precious grandson, wouldn't that be great This deal, you gain steadily and effortlessly, why refuse Or are you planning to use my mother again to extort something from me"

Rong Fei's face immediately flushed the color of pig liver, revealing a mix of humiliation and indignation.

"It's nothing, I just want this one thing!"

"You don't need to explain. I've already told Mom very clearly. This is the last time I'll do anything for you. From now on, don't even try to get Mom to make me agree to anything. Mengmeng also witnessed this. This is my oath! So—"

He glared coldly at Rong Feiwu. “Make your choice quickly. Agree, and I’ll have DuoDuo brought in right away!”

However, his expression was completely certain that Rong Fei Wu would abandon his mother. It seemed as if he truly believed what he said, that in Rong Fei Wu's heart, his mother was just such an inconsequential figure!

The mother never expected things to unfold this way. It was so different from the agreement she and her son had made earlier. But she remained silent, a heavy sadness settling in her heart. She thought to herself, it's better this way; at least let him tell her himself that he's giving up on her. This conversation should have happened over thirty years ago, but it was postponed until now.

Mother Rong turned her face, staring directly at Rong Fei Wu. Although her complexion was somewhat dark, her demeanor was unusually calm.

Rong Fei's eyes caught a gaze from the corner of his vision, so he turned his face away. Seeing her expression, he asked with difficulty, "Is this what you mean"

There is a dull ache in my heart, and it feels slightly bitter.

Mother's heart was heavy with sorrow, she didn't even have the strength to speak, only nodding silently.

Fengwu suddenly stood up, glaring at Rong Mama with a very ugly expression!

Lin Meng glanced at him, then turned her cold face towards Rong Mama's side, her icy gaze warningly fixed on Rong Fei Wu!

Look here, this is where we don't let him run wild!

"Make a choice!" Rong Ling stepped closer.

Rong Fei's martial arts suddenly exploded with rage, his aura powerful and imposing.

"Rongling, this is between me and your mother, you kids don't interfere!"

Rong Ling scoffed. "You can't possibly have everything your way. Which one do you want Make up your mind and be clear about it. Or, I'll give you some time to think things over. In the meantime, if Rong Hengduo were to die kneeling, I wouldn't bother with him!"oom for Li Lanqiu and let her rest!"What!Lin Meng suspected he had misheard.But Rong Ling's voice continued, "Li Lanqiu's family has had some trouble, so she needs to stay with us for a few days!"Lin...
