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

The car arrived at Jingyuan in no time.

Wen Qingruan looked at the familiar black carved gate, and at the magnolia tree in the courtyard, and the swing that Fu Yanci had built for her.

Memories are like sharp arrows coated in honey, piercing straight into Wen Qingruan's heart.

Fu Yanci had calmed down by now.

"Uncle Wang, you can go down now."

After the driver got out of the car, only Fu Yanci and Wen Qingruan remained in the vehicle.

Fu Yanci looked out the window with cold eyes, his voice already back to its usual calm.

"Fu Bao has been thinking about the promise you made to him to make sweet and sour pork ribs."

Didn't you want compensation?

"From today onwards, take good care of Fu Bao until..."

He turned around and looked at Wen Qingruan.

"Fu Bao doesn't need you anymore."

Wen Qingruan did not understand Fu Yanci's intention.

Wasn't he telling himself to stay away from Fu Bao?

"But...aren't you going to marry the heiress of Blue Lake Jewelry?"

Wen Qingruan did not forget that Fu Yanci had a fiancée, a fiancée of equal social standing!

Of course she was willing to take care of Fu Bao, but what kind of situation was that at Jingyuan!

She didn't want to cause trouble for Fu Yanci, and she didn't want to see a new female owner move in.

Fu Yanci glanced at Wen Qingruan, his cold gaze like a mirror, reflecting all of Wen Qingruan's thoughts and making her feel like a joke.

"You're just a maid I hired to take care of Fu Bao, my fiancée. Why should you mind a maid!"

Wen Qingruan felt icy cold all over, the chill creeping up her feet and instantly spreading throughout her body.

She gave a bitter smile, realizing she had been overthinking things.

Yes!

How could Fu Yanci let Fu Bao know her identity!

Back in the hospital, didn't she tell Fu Bao that she was just a caregiver she had hired to look after him?

How could a caregiver and a maid possibly have any influence over the future mistress of this house...?

Wen Qingruan's quietness was more like a sigh of relief to Fu Yanci.

He figured it out!

Wen Qingruan doesn't want to have anything to do with him now; she'd rather be treated like a servant!

Let's go!

Fu Bao is still waiting!

Fu Yanci got out of the car with a cold expression.

He worried that if he continued to stay with this heartless woman, he might do something even more impulsive.

Wen Qingruan glanced at the villa outside the car window.

She would be more than willing to take care of Fu Bao, even if only as a maid.

only……

She placed one hand on the car door handle. "Fu Yanci, not tonight! Luo Luo is still waiting for me."

The night wind was chilly, but it did not dispel Wen Qingruan's words; every word struck Fu Yanci's heart.

He had said so much, but in the end, Wen Qingruan still only cared about Luo Luo.

The hand resting on the car door tightened its grip, and the knuckles of the fingers began to ache from the excessive force.

But all of this pales in comparison to the heartache that Wen Qingruan's words caused Fu Yanci.

"Fu Bao is waiting for you now!"

He only said that one sentence.

Wen Qingruan understood that Fu Yanci was asking her to make a choice.

She knew in her heart that if she chose to leave tonight, she would never have the chance to see Fu Bao again, and Fu Yanci would hate her for the rest of his life.

She looked at the villa in front of her.

Fu Yanci said that his baby dreams of having his mother with him, and even bought a bowl hoping to eat together.

She had never done anything for Fu Bao, yet Fu Bao expected and loved her so unconditionally.

How could she bear to leave...?

Wen Qingruan slowly clenched her hands, the nails digging painfully into her palms, reminding her of the agony of being separated from her flesh and blood.

She took out her phone and made a call to Chu Yun Shen.

The call was answered immediately after it was dialed.

"Ruan Ruan, why haven't you come back yet?"

Wen Qingruan heard Luo Luo's voice on the phone and laughed happily.

"Yun Shen, I might be a little late getting back. Could you please take care of Luo Luo for me?"

She knew she shouldn't trouble Chu Yun Shen, but at this moment she had no other choice but to do so.

Chu Yun Shen is a doctor and understands Luo Luo's physical condition. With him around, at least Luo Luo's safety can be guaranteed.

Besides, she had no other friends in Kyoto except Gu Ying and Chu Yun Shen.

Chu Yun Shen said, "Of course I can take care of Luo Luo, but are you alright? If anything happens, you must tell me. You don't have to carry everything on your own."

Wen Qingruan looked at Fu Yanci, who had already started to leave.

"I'm fine, I just need to trouble you to look after Luo Luo for a while. I'll go back as soon as I'm done."

Chu Yun Shen paused for a moment on the phone, then said, "Okay, if you need me to do anything, be sure to tell me."

Wen Qingruan hung up the phone before getting out of the car.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Fu Yanci slowed his pace.

He walked away when he heard Wen Qingruan call out "Yun Shen".

He wasn't so humble as to listen to his wife whispering sweet nothings to other men!

He doesn't have a masochistic tendency!

Wen Qingruan quickly caught up with Fu Yanci and entered the courtyard.

She looked around; five years had passed, and nothing here had changed.

But Wen Qingruan knew in her heart that things could never be the same as before!

Five years have passed.

She would never again fawn over Fu Yanci on the swing in the yard, asking him to carry her back to the house.

She couldn't hear Fu Yanci gently calling her Wenwen, scolding her for running around without shoes, and then bending down to put slippers on her.

She looked away, lowered her head and stared only at her toes, blinking hard to clear the mist from her eyes.

"The master is back!"

Mrs?"

Aunt Wu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. She rubbed her eyes, thinking she must have seen wrong.

"Oh, it's really you, Madam, you've finally..."

Fu Yanci interrupted Wu Sao.

"She is not the wife."

Mrs. Wu didn't understand what her husband meant. The wife had finally come back, so how could she not be the wife?

Wen Qingruan felt somewhat embarrassed by Wu Sao's question.

She gave a bitter smile. "Aunt Wu, you can just call me Xiao Wen. I... I'm just a maid that the master hired to take care of Fu Bao."

Aunt Wu looked at the two people in front of her with a troubled expression, not knowing what to do.

Upon hearing Wen Qingruan's words, Fu Yanci truly wanted to shut this woman up!

He felt that sooner or later, he would be driven to his death by Wen Qingruan!

He completely forgot that it was he who said that Wen Qingruan was just a servant and that Wen Qingruan should remember her identity!

"Alright, do as she says. Tell the rest of the family too, and make sure they don't say anything wrong. Don't let Fu Bao know about the past!"

Although Aunt Wu didn't understand, she did understand the affairs of her master's household, and all she had to do was listen and follow instructions.

"Then I'll go and tell them first."

After saying that, Aunt Wu went inside.

Fu Yanci stopped at the entrance, loosened his tie with one hand, took off his coat, and held it in his hand.

Wen Qingruan subconsciously reached out and naturally took the item.

Both of them were stunned for a moment.

They were all thinking about the past.

Thinking back to when they first moved to Jingyuan, every day when Fu Yanci came home from work and appeared in the entrance hall, Wen Qingruan would flutter into his arms like a butterfly, take his coat, and tell him that the baby in her belly was being naughty and wanted to eat ice cream.

Later, she would carry Fu Bao to the entrance and tell him that Fu Bao missed his father, and that she missed her husband too...

Time seemed to transcend space and time at that moment. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with a moment of bewilderment, as if they had returned to the past.

The silence was broken by a gentle, sweet voice.

"You're back. I've been waiting for you for so long."
