Chu Juncheng saw the panic on Chu Boyang’s face.
“It’s my birthday present after all. Have you forgotten what you said when you gave it to me?”
Even if Chu Juncheng didn’t know what happened back then, he could roughly guess from Chu Boyang’s expression.
Chu Boyang’s face was pale and his fingers moved slightly.
“Mian… ”!!
“Chu Boyang, I actually believe that you love me. Otherwise, why do you think I took revenge after being separated from you for so many years?”
Who didn’t understand this?
Ji Fengmian did so.
Chu Boyang must have known.
Ji Fengmian had always known that Chu Boyang was smart. Most of his eyes were filled with wisdom and calmness.
She understood that he was well aware.
But her revenge had succeeded.
Look at him now.
Chu Boyan didn’t react.
He did know.
Anger lingered in Chu Juncheng’s heart.
If she was the worst person in the world, no one would dare to call her second.
She could torture someone to death without even meeting them. Who had the ability to do so?
“I love you.”
Chu Boyang lowered his head and stood opposite her. His eyes were lowered, and the expression in his eyes could not be seen clearly. However, his deep and hoarse voice could easily sense his nervousness, pain, and helplessness.
Ji Fengmian smiled. “I know, that’s why I want you to remember everything you promised me, including the promise you made when you gave me my birthday present back then.”
After saying that, she glanced at him and said calmly, “Wait for me.” Then, she turned around and went upstairs.
Chu Boyan stood rooted to the ground.
The moment Ji Fengmian turned around, he had the thought of escaping.
He could roughly guess why Ji Fengmian went upstairs.
He didn’t want to… face what was going to happen next.
But she had asked him to wait for her.
Chu Juncheng could clearly feel the forbearance and anxiety emanating from him.
He knew that he wanted to leave and desperately wanted to escape.
The violent emotions in her body seemed to be on the verge of exploding.
His face turned serious and he grabbed his arm.
“Father…”
Just as she spoke, she paused.
Her gaze landed on Chu Boyang’s arm.
She clenched her fists tightly, and the veins on her forearms bulged. Her muscles were tense, and her sleeves were deformed.
Her body was stiff and she was trembling slightly.
Chu Juncheng was shocked. He turned to look at the two people beside him and they immediately took action.
One of them walked to the other side of Chu Boyan while the other walked to the side and opened the box she had been carrying.
The sound of the box opening made Chu Boyang tremble. He turned his head and saw the opened box.
Her restrained eyes finally cracked again.
He slowly shifted his gaze to Chu Juncheng’s face. He stood rooted to the ground, his dry throat making a piercing sound.
“Get out.”
Chu Juncheng was shocked by his gloomy and cold expression.
His expression became even more solemn. “Father, what you need to do now is to calm down. Otherwise, Aunt Ji will…”
Before she finished speaking, there was a slight sound at the staircase.
Chu Boyang’s stormy face suddenly calmed down. His expression was unnatural for a few seconds before he turned to look at the staircase.
Her tightly clenched hands loosened their grip over and over again.
However, when she saw Ji Fengmian’s figure and the transparent glass bottle in her hand, she couldn’t help but take two steps back.
The doctor behind her had already concocted the medicine. When he saw Ji Fengmian coming out, he stood rooted to the ground with a syringe and waited patiently.
Ji Fengmian’s gaze swept past him and his brows twitched slightly. Then, it swept past Chu Juncheng and landed on Chu Boyang’s face.
Chu Boyang’s face was filled with the most painful expression she had seen in the past few days.
He looked at her and shook his head frantically.
Ji Fengmian’s slender fingers caressed the smooth back of the glass as a helpless and bitter smile appeared on his face. He slowly handed the glass to Chu Boyang.
Chu Boyan took a few more steps back.
“No… Mian, can you not do this? You can’t…”
“So, you want to go back on your word? Then what’s the point of this birthday gift?”
Chu Boyan was at a loss.
Like Chu Boyang, Chu Juncheng had seen that this woman was unmoved by force or persuasion. She had a heart of stone. He could guess what was written on the note at the bottom of the glass jar.
Now that she had seen and thought of something she had forgotten in the past, she was about to use it. She had really found something convenient.
“Mian…” Chu Boyang’s voice sounded like something hard had brushed across cold iron. His Adam’s apple bobbed uncontrollably. “I can’t let you go. If I let you go, will you take the initiative to find me?”
Ji Fengmian pursed his lips and gave a simple answer.
“I won’t.”
This answer was completely expected. The corners of Chu Boyang’s lips moved and his lips moved twice without making any sound.
Ji Fengmian exhaled deeply and took a few steps towards Chu Boyang. Just as he was about to retreat again, he reached out and grabbed his wrist.
Then, she stuffed the glass jar into his hand.
Ji Fengmian’s hands were cold and his fingertips were trembling.
The glass bottle in his hand was like a hot potato to Chu Boyang. He wanted to throw it away.
However, Ji Fengmian reached out and gently covered his hand, pressing his fingers tightly. Then, he looked up at him calmly.
“Chu Boyang, I have my pride. Back then, I never thought of leaving any way out for us.”
She tightened her grip on his hand and insisted that he hold the glass bottle properly.
Then, Chu Boyang finally saw a warm smile on Ji Fengmian’s face.
It was definitely not her usual cold, sarcastic, and perfunctory smile.
When she smiled, her eyes curved and there was a gentle glint in her eyes. It was rare to see such a smile in her life.
Or rather, he had never seen it before.
In the past, her smile was bright and radiant. Now, she had a different charm.
This smile undoubtedly surpassed everything beautiful in this world.
He looked dazed.
“Take it. This is the promise you gave me back then. You can’t go back on your word.”
Chu Boyang yearned for her smile, but now, the cruel reality was in front of him.
Ji Fengmian tightened his grip on his hand.
Chu Boyang’s face was begging and his eyes were red. His throat rolled a few times.
Even though he had been suppressing his emotions, the more he restrained himself, the more aggrieved he felt.
Because no one would know the limit of a person’s forbearance.
However, Ji Fengmian felt that Chu Juncheng and everyone in the room felt that Chu Boyang’s limit should be higher than everyone else’s.
Despite his restraint, he still revealed some clues. It was impossible to estimate how much pain his body had endured.
Chu Juncheng looked at Chu Boyang and felt a lump in his throat.
Then, he looked at the woman beside him and suddenly felt deep hatred for Ji Fengmian, who he called an elder.
He knew that she had her reasons for not forgiving him, but what he saw now was this woman punishing his father in the cruelest way possible.
He couldn’t be absolutely fair.
“Do you have a heart?”
Chu Juncheng couldn’t help it.
Ji Fengmian really looked at him and retracted his hand. He looked at Chu Boyang and said,
“Are you alright now? If possible, come with me to Grand View Manor.”
Chu Boyang’s eyes flashed.
“I’ve hidden it from you for more than twenty years, and you’ve pretended not to know for more than twenty years. Now that things have come to this, neither of us has to hide it from anyone anymore. Fanxing is your daughter. No one can deny this fact.”
The moment Ji Fengmian finished speaking, Chu Boyang didn’t react at all.
But in the next second, his body suddenly froze and a turbulent wave surged in the depths of his eyes.
Surprise, hope, hesitation, pain… too many things gathered together, making him feel confused.
He wanted to meet his daughter as a father, but he felt that this was the last farewell gift from Mian.
She wanted to, but she didn’t want to.
Once again, she fell into a dilemma.
He didn’t know what to do.
However, Ji Fengmian was already walking towards the door.
Chu Boyang bent down and placed the glass bottle on the coffee table before following her.
He couldn’t leave Ji Fengmian, so he chose to follow her.
Chu Juncheng glanced at the two doctors beside him.
The two of them hurried after her.
When they were outside, Chu Boyang ordered them to scram.
Ji Fengmian stood in front of the car and glanced at the two doctors who were at a loss.
“Are you sure you won’t cause any trouble without them?”
“I won’t.”
Ji Fengmian looked at him calmly for a while. Just as Chu Boyang felt that he should bring the two of them along, Ji Fengmian spoke again.
“It’s good that you know.”
Chu Boyan hadn’t brought them.
He wanted to meet Fanxing at Grand View Manor. How ridiculous would it be to bring two psychiatrists along?
Chu Juncheng was worried and followed behind with two psychiatrists.
The atmosphere in the manor was especially relaxed and happy.
The car finally stopped at the entrance of the villa. Chu Boyang sat in the car for a long time without moving.
Ji Fengmian turned to look at him before getting out of the car.
Chu Boyang hesitated for a long time before getting out of the car.
Looking at the two closed doors, it was the first time they were so close.
In the past, he had a hidden desire for this place. But now, he started to feel timid again.
She wondered how Fanxing would react when she found out.
Perhaps she would feel bad for her mother. She might even hate him and refuse to forgive him.
Before he could think too much, the servant had already opened the door and greeted Ji Fengmian. Then, she looked at him suspiciously.
Chu Boyang could only follow.
Shen Fanxing and Lou Ruoyi were playing with Little Sun and Little Moon in the living room.
Initially, there was an exclusive room for the two of them, but they seemed to prefer the living room.
They probably liked to play with the servants at home.
They seemed to be able to recognize different faces and react differently to everyone.
Shen Fanxing was surprised.
Surprise flashed across her eyes when she saw Chu Boyang following her mother into the house.
The tall man seemed a little uneasy.
Ji Fengmian reminded him to wash his hands.
After the two of them came out, Lou Ruoyi happily invited them to sit down and instructed the servants to prepare tea.
Ji Fengmian walked to the crib and bent down to carry Little Sun.
Shen Fanxing smiled and said, “Every time I come, I have to hug Little Sun first. Little Moon will be jealous.”
“You should be the one asking why your husband treats you differently.”
Shen Fanxing smiled helplessly and said, “He said that daughters should be pampered. There’s no need for a son.”
Ji Fengmian snorted and turned to look at Lou Ruoyi. “It seems like your son didn’t suffer much when he was young.”
Lou Ruoyi disagreed. “Jingchuan suffered a lot when he was young…”
“Then he should work harder.”
Lou Ruoyi pouted, feeling aggrieved.
Shen Fanxing shifted her gaze to Chu Boyang.
“Uncle Chu, have a seat.”
Ji Fengmian shook the little guy in his arms gently and said calmly, “He’s not Uncle Chu. He’s your father, your biological son.”
Lou Ruoyi took a deep breath and started coughing.
Surprise flashed across Shen Fanxing’s face, but she recovered quickly.
In fact, she wasn’t as shocked as she had expected.
It was calm enough. If she had to explain the accident just now, it was probably because Ji Fengmian had blurted it out without warning.
Chu Boyang clenched his fists and met Shen Fanxing’s gaze.
He looked even more uneasy.
“I…”
Shen Fanxing pursed her lips and retracted her gaze calmly. She bent to carry Little Moon and looked at Ji Fengmian.
“You sound like you’re telling a cold joke.”
Ji Fengmian looked up at her. “Do I always tell you cold jokes?”
Shen Fanxing pondered for a while before shaking her head. “No.”
Ji Fengmian gave her a look that said, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow and said, “My background is pitiful. I’ve lived for almost thirty years and now I have a biological father. Is my life too colorful or is yours even more so?”
As she spoke, she gently teased the little moon in her arms.
“You can think about that twenty years after my death.”
Chu Boyan reacted slightly.
However, Shen Fanxing had already walked up to him and moved Little Moon closer.
A gentle voice sounded. “Little Moon, look. This is Grandpa.”
Ji Fengmian’s back was facing them as he hugged Little Sun. His body paused for a moment before his fingers tapped Little Sun’s tender face gently, revealing a gentle smile.
