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

The sound of a car horn suddenly rang out from behind, startling Xu Anran awake.

Only then did she realize that she and Fu Yanci were now only inches apart.

Her lips were almost touching Fu Yanci's...

Fu Yanci was also awakened by the sound of the horn at this moment, and slowly opened his eyes.

Xu Anran's heart skipped a beat and jumped into her throat, leaving her stunned on the spot.

Fu Yanci opened his eyes, saw Xu Anran, and a deep knot appeared between his brows.

He pushed the woman away, rubbing his throbbing temples.

"How did I get here?"

The moment Xu Anran was pushed away, her heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar.

It is said that subconscious reactions do not lie.

Even when Fu Yanci was so drunk, the first thing he did when he woke up and saw her was to push her away.

The stinging pain of her long nails digging into her palm brought Xu Anran back to her senses.

She remembered Shen He's words.

"You and Shen He both drank too much. I happened to run into you two at the bar, so I thought I'd take you home."

I just dropped Shen He off at his hotel. I was worried Wenwen would be concerned if she knew you didn't come home last night, so I'm going to take you back to Jingyuan.

When Wen Qingruan was mentioned, Fu Yanci knew in his heart that no matter how late he got home, that woman wouldn't care.

But he didn't say it aloud, only giving a soft "hmm".

"Thank you for your help."

Xu Anran forced an extremely unnatural smile.

"No, because we're friends..."

The car slowly drove towards Jingyuan, the interior so quiet it was as if even the air itself had frozen.

Xu Anran was restless the whole way.

Only now did she begin to feel a sense of lingering fear, and even felt fortunate that she hadn't been bewitched and that Fu Yanci had come to her senses in time.

If she really did what Shen He said, taking advantage of Fu Yanci's drunkenness to do something.

I'm afraid I'll be kicked out of the country the next day.

The car finally arrived at Jingyuan.

Fu Yanci didn't even give her a chance to drive the car in, making her park it outside the gate.

Xu Anran always felt that Fu Yanci had noticed something.

But she didn't dare to ask, or even look up at him.

The car door opened, and Fu Yanci got out.

Having not been this drunk in a long time, Fu Yanci's legs felt unsteady, and he had to hold onto the carriage to steady himself.

"Watch out!"

Upon seeing this, Xu Anran immediately got out of the car and helped Fu Yanci up.

"I'll take you inside."

She was afraid that Fu Yanci would refuse, so she continued.

"At this time of day, Wenwen should still be asleep. If you're worried that she might misunderstand if she sees us, I can explain it to her."

Fu Yanci pursed his thin lips slightly, but still raised his hand to pull his arm away.

"I'm fine."

He glanced at the villa in front of him, his gaze settling on the windowsill of Wen Qingruan's room on the second floor.

It was pitch black there.

Bitterness replaces intoxication, gradually invading the brain and slowly fermenting.

"Go back now. Don't contact me again. I've done all I can to help with work. And don't arrange any more drinking parties in my name."

I won't go again.

After saying that, Fu Yanci walked towards the gate.

As Xu Anran watched Fu Yanci's retreating figure, her heart was already consumed by jealousy and resentment, leaving her unrecognizable.

But there was nothing she could do...

Wen Qingruan saw it all clearly!

Xu Anran escorted Fu Yanci back, and the two bid each other a reluctant farewell outside the courtyard.

But Fu Yanci didn't let Wen Qingruan in.

I guess... I don't want her to see it.

After all, Fu Yanci had not yet completed his revenge on her.

After all, Fu Yanci still had to abandon her after she fell in love with him.

With a wry smile on her lips, Wen Qingruan put the dough into the oven and turned to go upstairs.

She didn't want to meet Fu Yanci right now.

Fu Yanci returned to the villa, still hungover from the night before, and had a terrible headache.

He looked up at the guest room on the second floor, where Wen Qingruan was.

She didn't know that he drank heavily because of her, nor did she know that he didn't come home all night.

She slept peacefully through the night...

Fu Yanci picked up his coat and walked towards the stairs.

The servants had already started working, and when Sun Ma, who was cleaning, saw Fu Yanci, she exclaimed in surprise.

"Didn't the gentleman come home last night?"

Fu Yanci didn't stop, just grunted in response and continued upstairs.

Sun's mother muttered to herself.

"No wonder Miss Wen was busy in the kitchen so early in the morning; she probably stayed up all night waiting for her husband."

Fu Yanci stopped in his tracks. "What did you say?"

He thought he had misheard.

Aunt Sun put down the rag in her hand. "We all rested last night, but Miss Wen was still waiting in the living room. She said you told her to come back for dinner tonight."

When we got up and started working, Miss Wen had already made the bread.

I noticed her eyes were red; could it be that she hadn't slept all night waiting for you?

Fu Yanci stood on the stairs, stunned as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer.

He looked at Grandma Sun.

"You mean, she waited for me last night?"

Sun Ma nodded, "Yes, Miss Wen prepared dinner for the two children, and she even stewed mutton and asparagus especially for you, which are your favorite dishes."

Fu Yanci tightened his grip on his coat, revealing prominent veins on the back of his hand with its distinct knuckles.

He forced himself to ignore the shock and unease in his heart, reminding himself of Wen Qingruan's behavior last night.

"She did that just so that Lolo could have a better time here."

"That's definitely it!"

"That's what Aunt Sun said."

Fu Yanci looked at Sun Ma.

Even Aunt Sun could see that Wen Qingruan was doing this for Luo Luo; only he, an outsider, couldn't see it...

Aunt Sun continued.

"But that's only one of the reasons. If Miss Wen only thinks about Luo Luo, how could she remember what you like to eat, sir?"

You only asked her to come back and take care of Fubao, not for her to take care of you as well.

Sun Ma had always worked at Jingyuan, and she knew some of what had happened in the past. She had also witnessed how good the relationship between the two people was back then.

"Sir, please don't take offense at my being nosy."

You sent Miss Wen back to Jingyuan, saying it was to take care of Young Master Fubao, but I know you still can't let her go.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have been alone for so many years.

Fu Yanci smiled bitterly, "What's the use of me being unable to let go on my own!"

She had already looked ahead.

Grandma Sun didn't think so.

"If I really looked forward, why would I have waited for you all night, why would I have reheated the food again and again, just so that no matter when you come back, you can have a hot meal right away."

At this point, Grandma Sun sighed.

"Sir, I'm envious of how good your relationship with your wife was."

You are more cultured and knowledgeable than I am.

People always have to look forward; you can't let the past hold you back your whole life!

"One must always look forward..."

Fu Yanci murmured to himself, looking up towards the guest room.

Grandma Sun continued with her work.

She's just a maid; what she said just now crossed the line, and if she continues, she'll only annoy people.

Fu Yanci started walking upstairs.

He asked himself, was the reason he brought Wen Qingruan back really just so she could take care of Fubao?

And Lolo...

That child already exists, and even if he is unwilling to accept it, she is still Wen Qingruan's daughter.

What is he going to do with that child?

Wen Qingruan... Can he let go?
