Chapter 358

Author: Qin Ruoxu MACHINE TRANSLATION

Fu Qingshan’s large hands on his legs lazily tapped on his kneecaps. Although his words were spoken carelessly, the awkwardness in his words was understood by everyone sitting on the Sofa.

It was especially warm. Her hands on her legs were clenched into fists, and her nails dug deep into the flesh of her palms. Only when she felt a sticky sensation did she relax slightly. Then, she raised her Pale little face and looked at Fu Qingshan, who was sitting across from her on the Sofa “Mr. Fu, there are many women who want to get close to rich and powerful men these days, but I’m definitely not one of them. ”

Warmth tried her best to suppress the embarrassment he gave her, and her voice was as calm and clear as possible “It’s already been six years. I definitely can’t bring out the evidence at that time, but the child is my only evidence. You can test my DNA. If I’m not lying, we’ll find out when the time comes. ”

“Okay, since you’re so confident. ”

Fu Qingshan nodded, his entire body still exuding an extreme nonchalance. “But how can I be sure that you’re the child’s mother? Also, tell me, where did I touch you and how did I touch you? ”

Fu Zhanglin widened his aged eyes in his presbyopia glasses and angrily rebuked, “b * Stard, who talks like that? ”

“since she brought the child here, it means that she has some actual evidence. Otherwise, do you think that anyone would dare to step over the threshold of our Fu family? ”

Wen Nuan was an orphan girl with a tragic background. Her mother died of a serious illness when she was ten years old. All these years, she had followed her aunt’s family and lived under someone else’s roof. Moreover, she had to take care of her brother, who was paralyzed in bed due to a car accident She indeed did not have the guts to come to the Fu family to lie.

Moreover, it was indeed too hurtful to talk like that.

If what Wen Nuan said was true, that child whose facial features were extremely similar to Fu Qingshan was really her and Fu Qingshan’s child, then even if he had to risk his old bones, he would still let his grandson return to the Fu family.

A child could not have no mother. Considering the problem of getting along later, he had to put etiquette and respect first.

Fu Zhanglin took over Fu Qingshan’s words and his tone was much gentler. “Miss Wen, since you said that this child belongs to our Xiao Shan, then please tell me how you met Xiao Shan and how you got together and had a child together? ”

Lin Yan sat beside Fu Qingshan. From the inside to the outside, she exuded a calm and light aura. Her eyes were very light. Occasionally, she would glance in the direction of warmth and Fu Zhanglin, but most of her eyes were lowered as she listened quietly The profile of her side profile looked even more exquisite and beautiful under the dim light outside the window.

Because of her lowered head, a few strands of long wavy hair fell from her shoulders and landed on the back of Fu Qingshan’s hand that she was holding. It was slightly itchy and unbearable. He reached out his other hand and tucked her hair behind his ear The warm fingertips made contact with her skin and quickly slid across her body like an electric current. Her body could not help but stiffen slightly.

And this small act of mutual understanding between him and Lin Yan was clearly reflected in everyone’s eyes.

Of course, Wen Nuan also saw it. She could only discreetly shift her gaze away and pretend that she did not see anything.

Fu Zhanglin waited for a while, but Wen nuan did not speak. He followed the direction of her shifting gaze and looked in the direction where Fu Qingshan and Lin Yan were whispering.

He cleared his throat and frowned. He asked in a low and hesitant tone, “Miss Wen, is there anything that’s inconvenient for you to tell all of us? ”

Wen Nuan was a woman after all. She really couldn’t say something so private in front of everyone, especially after seeing Fu Qingshan and Lin Yan’s intimacy It made her feel like she had been slapped in the face by a mistress. However, when she was with Fu Qingshan, Lin Yan hadn’t married him yet. If she were to be serious, she only met Fu Qingshan a little later than she did.

Wen nuan hesitated for a moment, and then, as if she had mustered up a lot of courage, she said to Fu Zhanglin, “old Mr. Fu, can I talk to Mr. Fu Alone? ”

“This… ”

Fu Zhanglin was a little hesitant. After all, with that kid’s cold attitude toward other women besides Lin Yan, it was uncertain whether he could figure this out in the end.

He first waved his hand, indicating for Song Shi, Tang Ran, and Fu Jingguo to leave first.

The three of them initially wanted to see how Fu Qingshan would turn things around in front of Lin Yan, but on second thought, Wen Nuan’s request was not too excessive. No one was willing to bring such a private matter to the surface. A man could do anything.. However, women were relatively thin-skinned. Especially warmth, she was still a stranger to their family.

Strangers were always cautious when interacting with each other, half pretentious, and half unnatural. Moreover, she was not only facing one person, but the entire family.

After a few seconds, the three of them slowly stood up and immediately headed upstairs.

They could only console themselves. They sat downstairs and listened, but they could not understand the whole story. Moreover, the little guy upstairs was a miniature version of Fu Qingshan. It was a good choice to go and chat with him.

After the three of them left, only Fu Zhanglin, Wen Nuan, Fu Qingshan, and Lin Yan were left in the living room. Wen Nuan was still a little hesitant as she kept looking at Lin Yan, who was sitting beside Fu Qingshan.

Fu Zhanglin also noticed her gaze. Just as he was about to persuade Lin Yan to leave, he saw Lin Yan raise her head. Through the dim light outside the window, she looked at Wen Nuan, who was sitting diagonally opposite her “Miss Wen, is there anything you can’t say in front of me? Putting aside the fact that Fu Qingshan is my man now, I asked him to come back to see you because I respect you. ”

“just say that if I don’t ask him to recognize that child, he won’t recognize that child. Do you think I should sit here and listen to your past? ”

Lin Yan winked at her. Her face was full of a faint smile, but it also seemed to carry an infinite weight. Just one look was enough to make people unable to breathe.

And Wen Nuan was not stupid. Of course, she understood Lin Yan’s warning. In other words, regardless of the result of the DNA test, regardless of whether Wen Xi was Fu Qingshan’s child or not, as long as she did not ask Fu Qingshan to recognize that child, he would not admit it Because the child’s mother was not the woman he liked, even if it was his child, he would not admit it.

“So, when I give you face, you have to have face too! ”

Because of Lin Yan’s rude words, Wen Nuan’s face became very ugly. Her hands on her legs gripped the fabric of her dress tightly. She bit her lips for a long time and did not say anything. Perhaps she could not say anything better to refute her.

Fu Qingshan liked her. This was her most powerful bargaining chip.

Fu Zhanglin covered his lips and coughed lightly twice to cover up the awkwardness that was rising in the living room at this moment. One had to know that not only was he, this useless grandson of the Lin family, unable to do anything to her, even he was unable to do anything to her Not to mention this kind of matter where she was in the right.

After pacing back and forth between Lin Yan and Wen Nuan, he slowly said to Wen Nuan, “Miss Wen, you have already seen the situation in reality. There are no outsiders here. Just say it. ”

When it came to Lin Yan’s segment, Fu Qingshan did not need to interfere at all. He just needed to wait quietly by the side. Up until now, he had never seen a woman quarrel better than her.

Of course, she could not outargue him.

Wen nuan adjusted her emotions and took two deep breaths before speaking reluctantly “Mr. Fu and I… … slept together at a social reception six years ago. At that time, he had just been promoted to a division commander and there were many people toasting him. Later, he got drunk. I was a waiter at the reception and was called to take care of Mr. Fu. At that time, he was so drunk that he was unconscious. It seemed that he mistook me for someone else, so.. … …”

She paused slightly when she said this. It was not only because of the rest of her words, she had not thought about how to say it. More importantly, the gaze that Lin Yan threw at her was like a cold Arrow that had been hit by a deadly poison. It made her feel a chill on her back It was as if her internal organs had been immersed in the cold sea water, and her entire body began to tremble.

“At that time, I tried my best to resist, but I could not resist the power of a drunk man… ”

“Hey, hey, hey… ”

Before Wen Nuan could finish her sentence, Fu Qingshan interrupted her “Miss Wen, can you be more reliable in your words? If I really slept with you at that cocktail party, would you have waited until today to tell me? Are you waiting for the best opportunity to extort money, and then waited for six years? ”

“You also said that I was so drunk that I was unconscious. Of course, you can say whatever you want, but I clearly remember that when I woke up in the lounge of that cocktail party, there was no one around me. There were no traces at all. Then, may I ask, how did I rape you? ”

“Don’t interrupt her… ”

Fu Zhanglin was very dissatisfied with Fu Qingshan’s interruption. He frowned and was about to reprimand him, but Fu Qingshan interrupted him first “Grandfather, I’m the person involved. She said that I was drunk and forced myself to sleep with her. After that, she didn’t come to find me, but came to find me six years later today. Don’t you think that the logic behind her words is wrong? ”

Wen Nuan bit her lips. Her eyes were filled with sparkling tears, as if they would fall at any moment “Mr. Fu, I was only 24 years old at the time, and I hadn’t graduated from graduate school yet. I held five part-time jobs to pay off my family’s debts. Logically speaking, I should have called the police at the first moment and let the police handle it, but I needed to consider whether I could smoothly get my master’s degree certificate that I worked so hard to get, as well as the opportunity to study in the United Kingdom with a full scholarship

“Secondly, I need to consider your status and identity. I’m afraid that you wouldn’t believe me at all, and that would only ruin my life. ”

When she said this, her voice was already a little choked up “Moreover, even if I call the police and prove that you raped me, the police will only deal with it in a low-key manner. What I have to bear is the criticism of the people around me. I’m a person with a very high self-esteem. I really can’t stand the pressure of public opinion. It’s fine to say that I’m timid and afraid of things, or that I have ulterior motives. In short, I’m not lying. ”

After hearing the warm and passionate words, Lin Yan turned her head and looked lazily at Fu Qingshan beside her. She spoke in a voice that only two people could hear “I think she might not be lying. Why don’t you consider her and bring a six-year-old son with you? No matter how you think about it, you’ve earned it. ”

When Fu Qingshan heard her words, he squeezed her little hand with his big hand, as if he was very dissatisfied with what she had just said about pushing him away.

He leaned over and said to her in a voice that only the two of them could hear “Yan ‘er, I understand you. You can’t do it, especially when it comes to giving up your man. Unless you don’t want it anymore, you will never be polite when others come to snatch it from you! ”

“Or let me put it this way. If it were any other woman who came to snatch it from you, you would most likely lose interest in it. But that woman is warm. Even if you really don’t want it anymore, you won’t give it to her. ”

She had known Fu Qingshan for so many years and had experienced countless things. However, she had never been able to guess her thoughts as clearly as this time. She didn’t like the feeling that everything was under his control If she had to describe this feeling in detail, it was like leaving all her happiness to others to decide. She clearly didn’t have a choice, but she still forced herself to smile.

She did not like to leave her happiness in the hands of others because she would fight for the happiness she wanted. She would also pursue the things she liked. Therefore, her happiness and likes had always been decided by herself.

Lin Yan furrowed her beautiful brows and did not speak anymore. Instead, she wanted to pull back the small hand that was held in his big hand. However, he pulled her back and held her tightly. He used his lips to tell her not to think about escaping.

She could not be bothered with him and did not struggle anymore. Instead, she continued to look at the warm and tearful appearance.

Fu Zhanglin supported himself with his walking stick and stood up. He handed Wen Nuan a few pieces of tissue paper and comforted her “Miss Wen, I know you’ve been wronged by this incident. If my Xiao Shan really did something to let you down, I definitely won’t let him off. But don’t keep crying. You have to make things clear first before you can decide whether we can trust you or not. ”

Wen Nuan thanked him and reached out to take the tissue from Fu Zhanglin. She wiped the tears off her face and calmed herself down before continuing “also… Also, I know that he was imprisoned for rape when he was young, but he was released on bail very quickly. I’m an orphan girl with no one to rely on. There’s no way I can defeat the Fu family, who can practically cover the sky in Lin city. ”

Wen Nuan’s words successfully attracted the attention of the other three people.

Fu Qingshan raised his eyebrows while Lin Yan frowned. She knew very little about Fu Qingshan’s youth, so how would Wen Nuan know.

Fu Zhanglin leaned back and sank his back into the back of the SOFA. His sharp eyes behind his presbyopia glasses narrowed.

Wen nuan completely ignored the gazes of the three of them and continued to talk about the follow-up to this incident “Not long after that night, I realized that my period had been delayed. At first, I thought it was just because my period wasn’t accurate. Later, it was delayed until half a month later, when I realized that I might be pregnant

“At that time, I had to prepare for graduate school. I had a lot of things to do every day, so I didn’t have time to go to the hospital to abort the child. Moreover, I heard that aborting the child was a miscarriage. I had to go through a small period, or else I would be left with a serious illness. I was also afraid that after I went for an abortion, I wouldn’t have time to rest and fall ill. ”

“In short, I was very flustered during that period of time. I felt like I was muddle-headed every day. I didn’t know what I was thinking at all. I read books numbly, ate meals numbly, slept numbly. Later on, I successfully graduated as a graduate student. I also successfully received a full scholarship to study in the UK. There was a gap of about half a year in between. I moved out of the school dormitory and rented an apartment. I planned to stay in the apartment to recuperate after I aborted the child. ”

“I went to the hospital, and the doctor told me that after four months of pregnancy, I could no longer have an abortion and had to induce labor. Moreover, my body was very unsuitable for inducing labor, and it was very likely that I would never be able to get pregnant again or give birth to a child. Later on, I made a difficult decision and decided to give birth to this child. ”

She had only used a few words to summarize the entire process, but it was a big blow to her, who was in the dream-chasing stage at the time.

“My pregnancy reaction was very serious. Basically, I ate, vomited, and ate until I was about to give birth. ”

Saying this, she raised her hand and wiped the tears on her face “after giving birth, I gave the child to my aunt. I promised her that after she arrived in the UK, I would give her 20,000 yuan a month to live on as payment for taking care of Xixi and my brother. My aunt agreed readily. ”

“after that, I went to the UK to study abroad and found my biological father. With his support, I embarked on the path of politics. ”

When Lin Yan mentioned the words “the path of politics” warmly, there was finally some emotion on her calm face. She could not help but shake the man’s hand slightly. The man sensed her strength and immediately pulled her in front of him She frowned and struggled, but he used even more strength to control her.

She struggled a few more times, but she still could not break free. She chose to give up.

After Wen nuan wiped the tears off her face, she looked at Fu Qingshan with red eyes. “Mr. Fu, this is what happened. I can also cooperate with you to do a DNA paternity test for Xixi, but I also have a condition… ”

“Go ahead. ”

Fu Qingshan and Lin Yan did not accept Wen Nuan’s words, but Fu Zhanglin, who was beside them, did.

She took a deep glance at Fu Qingshan and Lin Yan, then turned to look at Fu Zhanglin. “I want Fu Qingshan to marry me as Mrs. Fu… ”

Before she could finish her words, Lin Yan interrupted her with a low laugh “Miss Wen, is your face made of walls? One Minute you’re marrying my brother, the next minute you’re marrying Lu Yubai, and now you’re marrying Fu Qingshan. Why? Do all the men in the world have to revolve around you and wait for you to marry him? ”

“Let’s not talk about whether he forced you or if you were raped. Let’s talk about why you’ve been pretending to be a prosperous White Lotus in front of us for the past few years “You clearly know that I like Fu Qingshan, and you clearly know that my brother likes you, but you’ve kept this from us for six years. What on Earth are you thinking “Let’s compare Lin Nancheng and Fu Qingshan. WHO’s the one with potential? ”

As she said this, Lin Yan shook off Fu Qingshan’s hand and stood up from the SOFA. “Our lin family may have fallen, but we siblings wouldn’t let you play with us like this, would we? ”

Before Wen Nuan could finish her sentence, Lin Yan walked over and reached out to slap her.

Lin Yan used a lot of strength to slap Wen Nuan’s head. Half of her face was numb with pain, and even her ears were ringing. She frowned and raised her head to continue speaking Lin Yan slapped the other half of her face again.

“You… ”

Wen nuan’s warm hands covered both sides of her face tightly, and she stood up somewhat angrily “Lin Yan, don’t go too far. It’s not your place to judge between your brother and me. If you really feel that he’s not worth it, don’t let him Pester me. Do you understand? ”

“My brother pesters you. Is My brother blind? Why would she pester you? What makes you worthy of being pestered by others? Is it because you’re beautiful, have a good figure, and have a good family background, or are you really untainted by mud? ”

Wen nuan’s expression changed slightly. It was a really ugly expression. “Lin Yan, the matter between the two of you has nothing to do with this matter. Can you be reasonable? ”

“I’m unreasonable Wen Nuan, you’re about to play US brother and sister to death. Do I still have to be reasonable with you “Are you going to cry and beg me today, saying how hard it was for you to give birth to this child for Fu Qingshan, and I’m going to hand this man over to you? ”

Lin Yan was slightly taller than Wen Nuan. She was also wearing slippers, but the top of her head was only around Lin Yan’s eyes and brows. Also, because she had been born into a wealthy family since she was young, she had that kind of high and mighty aura in her bones Wen nuan could only fall into a disadvantageous position.

“That’s not what I meant. Now that you and Fu Qingshan are divorced, i… I can’t let Xixi stay without a father… ”

“So? You mean you want to compete fairly with me? ”

She used her hands to gently tidy up her long wavy hair. When the warmth unconsciously retreated, she silently closed in on her. It was not until her warm legs touched the Sofa behind her and her entire body fell onto it that she bent down It covered all the light above Wen Nuan’s head, leaving only her reflection in her eyes.

“Wen Nuan, remember, as long as I, Lin Yan, am here, this fair competition of yours is… ” she paused, then went around to her ear and softly spat out two words, “in your dreams. ”

After saying that, Lin Yan straightened her body and tidied up her dress. She took a big step back and did not look at anyone. However, everyone present knew that she was talking to Fu Qingshan behind her “I’ve already said what I wanted to say. As for your family recognition ceremony, I won’t participate. However, I still wish that your family is finally reunited. Unfortunately, it can’t be done in a proper manner. ”

“I’ll be leaving first. ”

After saying that, she walked towards the direction of the door. Fu Qingshan chased after her with a few strides. “I’ll go with you. ”

She shook off his hand and said slowly, “no need. Take care of your family matters first. I don’t want to be a mistress. ”

As she said that, she deliberately glanced at the warmth on her face as she stood in front of the Sofa. After two seconds, she retracted her gaze and walked towards the door.

Fu Qingshan did not chase after her anymore. Instead, he instructed the chauffeur of the old residence to send her back while he stayed behind to settle the rest of the matters.

…

Her warm cheeks were already swollen from Lin Yan’s two slaps. The Butler of the old residence quickly threw an ice towel over to apply ice on her. She thanked him and took it, applying it on the red and swollen areas on both sides of her cheeks.

After handing over the ice towel, the housekeeper left the living room and gave up the space.

When the housekeeper’s footsteps completely disappeared from his ears, the only sound that could be heard in the large living room was Fu Zhanglin’s heavy breathing. He reached out to cover his lips and coughed twice. Then, he turned his sharp gaze to the warmth that was applying the ice towel to his face.

“Miss Wen, I have a question that I don’t understand. ”

When Wen Nuan heard Fu Zhanglin’s words, she sat up straight and said, “please speak. ”

“How did you know that our Xiao Shan was imprisoned for rape when he was young? ”

Fu Qingshan was now a military general. If such negative news were to be exposed, it would be a devastating blow to his future and future. The Fu family had finally made a comeback and was now standing on the political stage in Lin city He absolutely could not allow such a hidden danger to exist.

After Wen Nuan heard it, she blinked her eyes in confusion. “It was when he was drunk and talking to his friend that I accidentally heard it. ”

Fu Zhanglin’s brows furrowed even more tightly. “You didn’t tell anyone? ”

Wen nuan shook her head, and a faint smile spread from the corner of her lips. “So, Mr. Fu, this is the second half of my condition, but Lin Yan interrupted me. ”

Fu Zhanglin grunted and didn’t continue speaking, as if he was thinking about something.

Fu Qingshan, on the other hand, chuckled twice. Then, he took out the cigarette case from his trouser pocket, put it in his mouth, lit the lighter, and took a deep breath “So, Miss Wen really came prepared? You even thought that I would refuse to acknowledge the child you gave birth to, and you threatened me with such an obscure piece of news? ”

“This isn’t considered a threat, right? ” Wen nuan turned her head to look at Fu Qingshan, who was diagonally opposite her, and the smile on her lips did not change “When I gave birth to Xixi, I thought that one day I would find you and let you marry me. You would be responsible for me, and not live a happy and unrestrained life. On the other hand, I would have to bear your mistakes and live a hard life. ”

“It’s just that I happened to know that obscure secret. If it can become my bargaining chip, there’s no reason for me not to use it, Mr. Fu. ”

Wen Nuan was very smart. At least, she was much smarter than those brainless daughters of rich families.

Fu Qingshan shifted his crossed legs and then took a deep breath of the smoke in his hand. After slowly exhaling, he said lightly, “Miss Wen, actually, you can also sue me for rape now. After all, don’t you have your son as evidence? If I really committed a crime, I will admit it. ”

Fu Qingshan’s light words made Wen Nuan’s expression slightly change. Not only because he did not care, but also because of his low-level contempt for her, as if she was a swindler who extorted money.

When Fu Zhanglin heard Fu Qingshan’s words, the crutch in his hand almost flew over. “Brat, what nonsense are you spouting! ”

After he reprimanded Fu Qingshan, he immediately looked in Wen Nuan’s direction. “Miss Wen, don’t listen to him. We have things to discuss. We don’t need to go through the legal channels… ”

“Old Mister Fu… ”

Fu Zhanglin had not even started his long speech when he was interrupted by Wen Nuan’s gentle voice. She said, “… old Mister Fu, what if my only request is for her to marry me? I don’t want money, and I don’t want him to go to prison to atone for his sins. I just want my child to have a father, and I want him to use marriage to compensate me. That’s all.”

Fu Qingshan’s handsome straight brows had already furrowed into a ball. He was about to open his mouth to speak when he was stopped by Fu Zhanglin’s hand. He touched the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and smiled “Miss Wen, I can understand that young people like to be competitive, but there are some things that need to be done within one’s means. Marriage is a matter between two people, not a child’s play. Just now, you saw how that useless grandson of mine treated the Lin family’s servant girl. If you force your way in, you’ll only get hurt. ”

“How about this, Miss Wen? ”

Fu Zhanglin’s hands, which were crossed over his delicate head, tapped gently on it. After a few seconds, he slowly said, “after this child’s DNA is tested, if it is confirmed to be the blood of our Fu family, I will give you a sum of money or anything you need. Leave the child to us. Whether you want to continue living in Lin city or live abroad, we will not interfere in any way. You are also welcome to visit the child at any time. I hope that we can resolve this matter peacefully, and not… “… Both sides will suffer heavy losses.”

Wen Nuan did not answer. Instead, she lowered her head slightly as if she was thinking.

The cigarette in Fu Qingshan’s hand had already burned to the end. He took out a cigarette case from his trouser pocket, took out a cigarette, and quietly waited for Wen Nuan’s reply.

After waiting for a few seconds, or perhaps more than ten seconds, Wen Nuan spoke slowly “Old Mister Fu, I’m very sorry and very sorry. I can’t accept your proposal. The child is of the Fu family’s bloodline. I don’t need to do a DNA test to know this. Doing this paternity test is only to let you know that I’m not lying. Regarding this matter, my only request is for Fu Qingshan to marry me. I’ll have a complete family with him. I won’t accept any other conditions. ”

The conversation fell into a stalemate. No one spoke again.

Fu Qingshan had been standing by the side like an outsider. He watched as Wen Nuan and Fu Zhanglin discussed their conditions. When the two of them fell silent at the same time, he smiled and said, “since both of you have stated your conditions, I will also state my conditions. Firstly, I will definitely not marry you. Secondly, I will definitely not acknowledge that child, regardless of whether he is of my bloodline or not. Thirdly, I, Fu Qingshan, have only received threats from one woman since I was young. I have also compromised, and that is Lin Yan. No other women are to be discussed. ”

After saying that, he stood up. “Let me say this first. These are my conditions. There’s no way I can change them. As for how you compromise your conditions, that’s up to you! ”

After taking two steps, he turned back and said, “and… ”

Wen Nuan and Fu Zhanglin looked at him at the same time. In the next second, they heard him say a few words from his thin lips “Miss Wen, a large part of the reason why you didn’t look for me back then was because of your own cowardice. Why should I bear the consequences of your own cowardice? Also, I’ve received strict training from the special forces. I’ve never touched you. I think you should know better than I do. Stop being an ugly person and go be the eldest daughter of the Wen family. ”

This time, after he finished speaking, he did not turn around and did not bother with Fu Zhanglin’s shouts.

After he left the old house, he took out his phone and dialed Lin Yan’s number. After about three beeps, Lin Yan’s somewhat tired voice could be heard from the receiver “Tell the driver to turn around and head to the military compound. I’ve delayed the whole morning. I might have to stay up all night to handle military affairs tonight. I’m not at ease with you at home alone. You have to be under my nose so that I can handle military affairs in peace… ”

“I’m not going. ”

Lin Yan hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

She had not recovered from her cold. In addition, she did not sleep well last night. When she was about to fall asleep in the car, she received a call from him. After living as a rich young lady for so many years, the pampering and pampering that she had developed after getting out of bed was immediately aroused She did not even listen to him finish speaking before she hung up on him.

Fu Qingshan did not continue to call her. Instead, he dialed the number of the old mansion’s driver. A few seconds after the call was connected, a middle-aged man’s voice was heard. “Young Master. ”

“Okay, turn the car around and drive it to the military compound. ”

“Okay, young master. ”

…

When Ji Yunshen and Qiao man walked out of the hotel where Wen Jiaming was staying, it was already lunchtime.

The two of them walked side by side to the car on the parking lot. Ji Yunshen opened the car door for her in a gentlemanly manner and asked her, “what do you want to eat for lunch? ”

Qiao man stooped down and sat inside. After thinking for two seconds, she answered softly, “Wonton. ”

“Okay, then let’s go to the Wonton restaurant that you used to eat at. ”

Qiao man nodded and said, “alright. “.

The Sky that had been gloomy for the whole morning finally had another bout of rain, which made the whole world look like a vast expanse of whiteness.

The Magnolia trees on both sides of the road swayed back and forth with the wind and rain. Occasionally, a few leaves would be blown off by the strong wind and hit the roof of the car, making crackling sounds.

Twenty minutes later, the smoke-gray Bentley parked in front of the Wonton store that they used to frequent. As the parking space was rather crowded, Ji Yunshen took a black umbrella from the back seat and handed it to her. “You go in first, I’ll go park the car. ”

“I’ll wait for you. ”

“No need. The umbrella is small. If two people hold it together, they’ll get wet from the rain. ”

Qiao man stared at the umbrella in his hand for two seconds before reaching out to take it. Then, she quickly got out of the car with the umbrella in hand and ran towards the entrance of the Wonton store.

Ji Yunshen watched her figure enter the wonton store before he stepped on the accelerator again and went to find a parking space.

The car slowly moved forward for about a hundred meters before there was an empty parking space. He turned around and parked in the parking space. Just as he was about to get out of the car, the phone on the dashboard vibrated. He glanced at the number on the caller ID Then, he quickly swiped the answer button. “Secretary Sun. ”

Secretary Sun seemed to be walking around, but there was an unconcealable excitement in his voice. “President Ji, the witnesses of the fire in Syria have been found. I’ve already sent people to escort them back to the country. They should arrive in Lin city around tomorrow afternoon. ”

Ji Yunshen’s big hand holding the phone used some strength, and then slowly squeezed out a few words. “okay, I understand. ”

Putting down the phone, his hands landed on the steering wheel and gently tapped on it. His eyes looked through the windshield at the flower bed in front of the parking lot. After a while, he pushed open the door and got out of the car.

The rain became heavier and fell on the man’s broad shoulders, turning into fine and dense raindrops. Then, they slowly seeped in and disappeared.

Qiao man had been standing at the door of Wonton store waiting for Ji Yunshen. When she saw him coming from afar, she pushed open the door of Wonton store and went to pick him up with an umbrella.

Ji Yunshen had walked slowly because he was thinking about something. When the storm above his head was covered, he was still slightly stunned. Then, what greeted his eyes was the woman’s smiling face.

It was probably what she looked like when he first met her. She was wearing a pure white dress, with long black hair that fell to her waist, and her eyes that looked like stars after a rain.

“Why did you run out? ”

He reached out his big hand and took the umbrella handle in her hand. His other hand wrapped around her waist. Then, the two of them walked side by side to the door of the wonton store.

If they were passers-by at the back, they could see that the man’s umbrella was leaning toward the woman.

There were a lot of customers in the wonton store at noon. The two of them walked in and waited in line for a while before there was an empty seat.

The restaurant was not big and seemed very crowded. It was inevitable that there would be friction and collisions between the customers and the customers. The tall man stood by her side the entire time, shielding her from the friction and collisions that kept coming at her. She stood in front of the man’s chest Occasionally, when she saw the man’s slightly furrowed brows when someone bumped into him, the corners of her lips unconsciously curled up into a faint smile. Perhaps even she herself did not notice it.

This wonton obtuse restaurant was really as delicious as it had been for more than ten years. The lady boss had just served the Wonton obtuse on a tray when she smelled the familiar fragrance from before. Then, she began to eat happily.

The man ate very quickly, waiting for her to finish his meal.

What she wanted was a small bowl of wonton blunt, but to her, it was a huge amount as well. After eating a few, she was already full. After which, she pushed the rest of the wonton blunt to him. “I can’t eat anymore. ”

The man did not seem to mind it at all. Lowering his head, he started eating the rest of her wonton blunt.

Qiao man bent her arms and propped one elbow on the table. Looking at the way he ate the wonton blunt, she suddenly felt as though she had returned to five years ago. It was as though nothing had changed. They had never been separated, and those injuries and misunderstandings were no longer present It was just that time had swooshed from five years ago to five years later now.

However, she knew that it was only a momentary feeling, because those deep-rooted injuries were still there.

After a few minutes, he had finished all the wonton blunt that she had eaten. Then, the two of them held an umbrella and walked towards the parking spot.

When they reached the door of the Smoky Gray Bentley, the man first opened the car door for her. After she sat in it, he closed the car door and went around the back of the car to return to the driver’s seat.

The umbrella was still dripping. Ji Yunshen tried several times to put it back, but in the end, it turned into the most embarrassing shape.
