After being missing for five years, President Fu's eyes welled up with tears when they met agai

"I can give you a dowry of 600,000 yuan, but you have to give me a son first."

The man's arrogant voice sounded particularly out of place in the quiet and elegant coffee shop.

Many people looked over at them and whispered among themselves.

Wen Qingruan tightened her grip on the coffee cup, suppressing the urge to throw the hot latte on the man's face.

She should have anticipated this scene when she agreed to the blind date.

Lolo's heart couldn't wait any longer.

With this 600,000 yuan, Luo Luo will have the money for surgery and a chance to survive.

As for her...

Five years ago, her life was already in a mess. Getting married would give Luo Luo a chance to live, so she had no choice.

As the bitter coffee went down her throat, she looked up, ready to accept the condition.

But she didn't expect Fu Yanci to suddenly appear here.

Before her brain could react, her heart was filled with the pain that had tormented her for five years.

She got up to run away, and in her panic, she knocked over her coffee cup, quickly staining her white, pilling coat.

She didn't care about anything else; all she wanted was to escape before that man saw her.

Fu Yanci was on the phone when he walked into the coffee shop and saw the woman.

The person on the other end of the phone waited a long time before receiving a response.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go home early tonight and have the doctor give him a thorough check-up when he wakes up."

After hanging up the phone, Fu Yanci slowly exhaled, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down before putting his phone back in his pocket.

Shen He noticed Fu Yanci's unusual behavior and followed his gaze.

"Wen Qingruan?"

Unexpectedly, this woman actually dared to come back.

Shen He strode towards Wen Qingruan.

The person had already arrived, and Wen Qingruan had nowhere to hide, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "Long time no see."

She lowered her head, her gaze falling on the pair of black men's leather shoes in front of her. The shoes were shiny, and the trouser legs were neatly ironed.

A black suit, a blue and black striped tie, sapphire cufflinks...

Noble and aloof, these qualities perfectly match his current demeanor.

She used to pick and prepare all of these things for him, but who put together this outfit for him today...?

She must be a woman who matches his status.

The lingering memories made Wen Qingruan momentarily dazed, but when her gaze met the man's, a bucket of ice water was poured over her head.

His gaze merely swept over her briefly, without lingering for even a moment.

It was as if they had never met.

Wen Qingruan bit her lip, not daring to let her emotions show, and just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

However, Shen He had no intention of letting her off so easily.

Back then, Brother Yanci treated her so well, raising her from a dance academy student to the principal dancer of a ballet troupe. He even broke with his family for her sake, getting a marriage certificate without consulting his family first. He was aiming for a lifetime together.

But she actually abandoned Yanci and ran away when something happened at his house, fearing she would be implicated!

He knew perfectly well how difficult things were for Yan Ci during that time, and that's why he hated Wen Qingruan so much.

Thinking of this, Shen He spoke.

"Wen Qingruan, I thought you were dead?"

Chen Shu seemed completely oblivious to the disgust and hostility in Wen Qingruan's words, only thinking that she actually knew the young master of the Shen family.

He immediately stepped forward, handed over his business card with both hands, and put on a fawning smile.

"Young Master Shen, I am Chen Shu, General Manager of Chenguang Zhichuang, and also Xiao Ruan's fiancé."

fiancé……

Fu Yanci's eyes trembled slightly, but his handsome face showed no extra expression, and his thin lips were pressed into a straight line.

No one knew that beneath that well-tailored suit lay taut muscles, and the hands clenched tightly in the pockets.

"No, we are not engaged."

Wen Qingruan denied it.

She looked at Fu Yanci with a heavy heart, but Fu Yanci didn't even glance at her.

Realizing how superfluous her explanation was, Wen Qingruan felt a sharp pain in her heart. She slowly withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyes, and stared at the stain on her coat.

Chen Shu was very dissatisfied with Wen Qingruan's denial. He forcefully put his arm around Wen Qingruan's shoulder and pulled her into his arms.

"Please forgive my rudeness, Young Master Shen. Little Ruan is upset with me because of the bride price."

Shen He, "Bride price?"

Chen Shu said in a helpless tone, "Xiao Ruan insists on a dowry of 600,000 yuan, not a penny less."

This amount of money isn't a huge sum for my family, but my mother said she would only give it to me if I conceived a son.

"That's why Xiao Ruan and I are arguing!"

At that moment, Wen Qingruan felt as if the air in the coffee shop had suddenly become thin, otherwise why would she have difficulty breathing and feel a dull pain in her chest?

Fu Yanci finally looked at Wen Qingruan, and his indifferent eyes finally showed emotion.

Disdain, disgust, and contempt...

Wen Qingruan was frozen in place by that gaze, and even forgot to push Chen Shu away.

Shen He chuckled.

"Having a child costs 600,000..."

Wen Qingruan, are you that short of money?

Wen Qingruan bit her tongue; the taste of blood and the pain between her lips and teeth only fueled her stubbornness.

Wen Qingruan raised her head and met Fu Yanci's gaze.

"Yeah, we're pretty short on money."

She broke free from Chen Shu, saying, "I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now."

She simply couldn't stay any longer, couldn't bear to face Fu Yanci's gaze.

Even though she knew in her heart that Fu Yanci had long since hated her and would never look at her with those tender eyes again...

Shen He blocked Wen Qingruan's path, his gaze towards her like a knife.

"Wen Qingruan, you'll do anything for money!"

He stepped forward, forcing Wen Qingruan to retreat and bump into the table. The wooden table legs scraped against the marble surface, making a sharp, piercing sound.

She stumbled and bumped her lower back on the corner of the table.

Fu Yanci's eyes narrowed slightly. He glanced at Wen Qingruan's waist without leaving a trace, and noticed her pale face. He then spoke calmly to Shen He.

Are you very free?

Whom an insignificant person has children for, or how much money they make, is none of your business.

He walked away, passing by Wen Qingruan. Their clothes touched for a moment before quickly separating.

Wen Qingruan watched the man's departing figure; he was tall and imposing, showing no lingering affection for her whatsoever.

He said she was an insignificant person...

He said it was none of his business who she had children with...

Shen He pointed at Wen Qingruan, as if to say something, but then heard Fu Yanci urging him from ahead, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

Shen He ultimately said nothing and left.

Wen Qingruan watched the direction Fu Yanci left in until the man completely disappeared from sight. Only then did she manage to stand up, leaning on the table for support.

Chen Shu leaned closer. "Wen Qingruan, do you know Young Master Shen? What's your relationship with them?"
