Domination of the Aristocratic Dynasty After a Body Swap with the CEO

Chapter 76

When Zhong Ruanxing returned home, she was still feeling down. It was precisely because she had always had the company and love of her parents that she could more keenly feel the pain and grief Song Jinxing and his sister felt at losing their parents. When she called him, Song Jinxing could tell from her low tone of voice right away. He sat up straight, his expression involuntarily becoming grave: "What's happened?"0

Zhong Ruanxing called his name: "Song Jinxing..."0

"Yes?"0

But after calling out to him, she couldn't get the words out. She wanted to ask him, have you forgotten what your parents looked like, just like Song Shuling? Were you like her, silently grieving and missing them on a quiet night like this, or has your emotional atrophy syndrome sealed away your feelings for your parents too?0

She swallowed the words back down before they left her mouth.0

What would be the point of asking, however he answered? It wouldn't change the fact that he lost his parents at a young age and grew up alone. It would only make him recall those lonely, agonizing days.0

She didn't want him to be upset.0

Even if feeling upset now would be a luxury for him, she didn't want to test it.0

She heard her tone become cheerful again over the phone: "What did you eat tonight? I had so much cake tonight! Let me tell you, you're in trouble, your abs are going to be whittled away by me soon."0

His expression was still somber. If anyone else had been present, they would have felt the cold, oppressive aura emanating from him.0

But his voice was light, as if he hadn't noticed anything off about her, chatting with her as usual: "The crew had a hot pot dinner tonight. Don't worry, we can whittle away at each other.0

Zhong Ruanxing shrieked: "No way! Go work out right now and burn off everything you ate tonight! My figure! My abs! Song Jinxing, I'm not done with you!"0

He laughed softly.0

After chatting for a while, Zhong Ruanxing yawned, ready to hang up, when he suddenly stopped her: "Zhong Ruanxing."0

He rarely called her by her full name so seriously.0

Those few words sounded different coming out of his cool voice, inexplicably making one's heart skip a beat. Zhong Ruanxing gripped her phone and involuntarily held her breath: "Yes?"0

She heard him say, "If there's anything, tell me."0

He wouldn't say lover's oaths or sweet nothings.0

He would just seriously tell her, if there's anything, tell me.0

I'm always here.0

Those lingering sour feelings in her heart were soothed by his words tonight.0

Look, one could feel sorrow for his circumstances, but need not pity his life. No one had a perfect life, yet he had grown into someone so outstanding. His parents must have been proud of him.0

The next day was Sunday. Song Jinxing had to get up early to film, but Zhong Ruanxing could sleep in. When she woke up, she saw a message from Song Shuling.0

She had already reported to the amusement park for training that would last half a month. Song Shuling said the company had arranged employee dorms, and she had decided to live in the dorms in order to integrate into the group as quickly as possible.0

Zhong Ruanxing praised her, then got up, washed up, and brought gifts for Grandpa and Grandma Song before setting off for the old house.0

She hadn't called ahead, so when she went back she gave Grandma a huge surprise as expected.0
