Chapter 133
about the promises you made to me before. If you can't repay them in this life, then do it in your next life. If not, then your life after that; I will wait until then."Princess Xiangxiang's deep aff...Chapter 133
"Hey, how considerate of you. Good girl, give yourself a pat on the back," Mom Wen kissed her as she taught her what to do next.
Warming looked at her watch and found that Ye Nimoh had already finished work. She wondered if he had eaten yet.
"I wonder why he does this, is it self-inflicted torture" Warming muttered to herself.
Mom Wen was busy with braised shrimp and didn't hear what she said. Warming smiled and hummed in agreement as she focused on learning how to make the dish.
"Mom, we made too much; it's impossible to finish."
"If you can't finish, take the leftovers home,"
"Take them back Take them where I'm staying at home." Warming was surprised. "Mom, are you kicking me out"
"Didn't you say that you were just here for a meal before leaving"
"Who said so It's been ages since I've slept at home. I want to stay," she had lived in this house for twenty years, and it was her most emotional place; how could she leave after coming back Besides, she didn't want to see Ye Nimoh who she was still mad at.
"Look at me, forgetful. Then let Mom be happy about it."
...
"Woman in the kitchen, is dinner ready yet My stomach's complaining," Dad Wen joked.
Warming brought out the dishes and said, "It's almost done."
The braised shrimp was also finished. Just as they were about to eat, there was a knock on the doorbell. Wen Jing rushed over to answer it and saw Fang Liucheng. She turned around and shouted, "Dad, it's Fang Liucheng. Should I let him in"
Wen Dad and Mom Wen were chatting. They paused for a moment before saying, "Let him come in."
Wen Jing pursed her lips as she opened the door.
"Big Master Fang, you're an honored guest," Wen Jing said sarcastically before turning around to go back and sit down to eat.
Fang Liucheng's stern face showed no emotion as he entered the Wen family home and saw Warming, clearly surprised to see her there. He handed a document directly to Mr. Wen.
This was the equity transfer agreement for Wen Corporation.
He returned all the shares he had secretly acquired, as well as those he had taken from Mr. Wen.
"Liucheng, what is this..."
"Sign it and I will return Wen Corporation to you." Fang Liucheng said expressionlessly; his tone was cold due to lingering unresolved issues with the Wen family.
Mr. Wen had liked Fang Liucheng since childhood and knew that Warming liked him too.
Therefore, he hoped very much for Warming and Fang Liucheng to grow old together. Without a son of his own, he wanted Warming and Wen Jing to live happily without hardship; with Fang Liucheng by their side, the family business would have an heir, and Warming's wishes would be fulfilled.
He was very satisfied with Fang Liucheng in every aspect.
Even though Fang Liucheng had nearly brought down the Wen family and Mrs. Wen harbored resentment towards him, Mr. Wen did not. Perhaps there might have been temporary complaints, but he raised him as his own child, so their bond was unbreakable.
Fang Liucheng had always been very filial to him and respected him, even if it seemed fake at times; over the years of acting, Mr. Wen believed that there must be genuine affection somewhere, hence he harbored no resentment towards Fang Liucheng.
"Liucheng, are you really willing to return Wen Corporation to us" Mrs. Wen was also surprised by Fang Liucheng's actions; she was already grateful for him returning their home, and even more so now that he was giving back the company as well.
Warming silently sipped her soup while Wen Jing ate quietly nearby, both sisters remaining silent.
Fang Liucheng looked at Warming and said, "This company caused my parents' deaths. I wanted to destroy it and you all, but unfortunately... through the act of revenge, I learned that cherishing what is currently in your life is more important than harboring resentment for the past. I know what's most important to me now and won't do such foolish things again."
If time could be reversed, he wouldn’t seek vengeance on the Wen family.
Perhaps then, he would not have lost Warming.
He bitterly regretted his past actions.
Now, all he hoped was that it wasn't too late to make amends.
Mr. Wen stood up and patted his shoulder, "Good boy, I hope you can truly let go of the past; Uncle is also very regretful for what happened back then. We were young and our methods of handling things were overly harsh, causing undue harm—sorry.
Fang Liucheng pursed his lips, accepting Mr. Wen's apology.
Warming had kept her head bowed the whole time and hadn't said a word. Fang Liucheng hoped she would look up at him and smile or even just glance at him; both Mr. and Mrs. Wen knew he was there for Warming.
This confirmed his sincerity.
As long as he treated Warming well from now on, all past issues could be forgiven.
Fang Liucheng said calmly, "I won't disturb you then. I'll take my leave."
He turned and walked away, but Mrs. Wen hurriedly called after him, "Liucheng, haven’t you eaten Today Auntie prepared a lot of food; why don’t you stay for dinner"
"Alright!" Fang Liucheng answered.
Mrs. Wen asked Warming to serve the rice, and Warming obediently got up to do so.
Actually, this scene used to be very common; Fang Liucheng was raised by the Wens, whom both elders treated as their own son. They had a good relationship and often enjoyed happy meals together in the past.
Seeing that he stayed for dinner, Warming couldn’t just remain silent, "Brother Liucheng, thank you for clearing up this matter for me."
He seemed somewhat awkward; after all, they had only been in the news today and he was asked by Cai Xiaojing to clarify the situation. There were some things that Warming still felt conflicted about.
"Warming, it’s my duty to do this. You don’t need to thank me," Fang Liucheng smiled as he said. She nodded but didn't say much more; relations between Fang Liucheng and them had slightly eased up, making the atmosphere less tense.
The meal was quite pleasant.
Fang Liucheng subtly asked Mr. Wen if he would be okay with him dating Warming, seeking his opinion. In reality, he was testing the waters; however, Mr. Wen felt that this was Warming’s choice and as long as she agreed, he had no objections.
She was his own daughter, and he understood her better than anyone else could. With all issues resolved, their families’ conflicts were over too; Warming loved Fang Liucheng for so many years, to say that she didn’t have feelings would be a lie.
But since Fang Liucheng had once hurt her, and Warming was an earnest girl who might always remember this wound, how things should proceed was something only Warming could decide.
They never interfered with her decisions; everything revolved around respecting her.
Fang Liucheng felt reassured when he learned that neither Mr. Wen nor Mrs. Wen had opposed their relationship; he believed in his ability to win back Warmth.
After dinner, Mr. Wen and Fang Liucheng played chess in the living room. Mr. Wen enjoyed playing chess and drinking tea, which he studied deeply. Influenced by Mr. Wen from a young age, Fang Liucheng also developed an interest in these activities.
Warmth wasn't interested in such things, but her sister, Wen Jing, was.
Wen Jing watched them play chess while Warmth sat in the garden for a bit.
The night was moonless, yet the stars were beautiful and dazzling. Rubbing her temples with some headache, Warmth realized that Fang Liucheng was clearly trying to win her back. But what about herself
What did she think
Warmth had always been a decisive person who acted swiftly. Yet this time, she was indecisive.
When Chen Hang confessed his feelings to her, she immediately rejected him.
She knew that there could never be anything between her and Chen Hang, but why couldn't she reject Fang Liucheng in the same way
Irritatedly pressing her hands against her head, Warmth thought it might be because of years of deep-rooted affection for Fang Liucheng. He was the love interest from her junior high, high school to university days.
For three consecutive birthdays, she had climbed to the highest peak in A City and shouted that she would marry Fang Liucheng.
But becoming his wife had always been Warmth’s lifelong dream.
If on her 20th birthday, she hadn’t gotten drunk, wandered into a wrong room, slept with Ye Feimo and continued to have contact with him, she would’ve gone straight to Fang Liucheng and said, "Brother Liu Cheng, I like you. Let’s be together."
But when she met Ye Feimo, her ideal life began to change completely.
It had truly changed beyond recognition.
She seemed... to have developed feelings for Ye Feimo.
Warmth realized that she liked Ye Feimo on the day by Huai River when she silently repeated something as he approached, with dazzling lights reflecting off the rolling 5203 advertisement across from her. calm request. Mo Yao responded, "What I did to you wasn't that of an enemy's hand Bai Liu, plotting against me, obtaining intelligence, and causing my family great distress—how could someone who does...
