Chapter 1752: Chapter 1751: His Fiancée (1)
Chu Chengfeng coldly watched Xiao Wen, his gaze devoid of any warmth, which was starkly different from how he looked at the woman beside him. His brow was furrowed tightly, and looking at Xiao Wen seemed to bring him some annoyance, leading him to speak with slight impatience, as if suppressing something, "Let’s go to the office to talk."
Xiao Wen didn’t speak but tightly clenched her hands and focused intensely on Chu Chengfeng, seemingly wanting to see through his skin and bones into his heart.
Under such a piercing gaze, Chu Chengfeng’s brow furrowed even tighter, and he felt something in his chest ready to burst out, yet he suppressed it fiercely.
He felt very uncomfortable, as if his authority was challenged, and thus spoke again, "I’m talking to you, didn’t you hear?"
Xiao Wen still did not answer, still staring fixedly at him.
The reception area included a bar counter, and nearby diner tables were currently empty.
The manager and two serving staff were too shocked to make a sound, although the two waitstaff looked at Chu Chengfeng with hostile eyes.
They never imagined that in their minds, the man most suitable as a boyfriend and husband, Chu Chengfeng, could change heart so quickly, it was truly terrifying.
It’s only been a week!
Although there were signs beforehand, he couldn’t have brought another woman over so soon.
Even though he didn’t introduce who the woman was or what her relationship to him was, even an idiot could see their mutual affection from their looks.
It’s infuriating!
Yet, even so, under the strong, cold pressure, the two waitstaff didn’t dare breathe loudly.
Thus, the atmosphere became increasingly dead silent, and just at that moment, the woman chuckled, her voice soft and gentle, sounding like a spring breeze caressing your heart and ears, seemingly able to soothe your violent mood instantly.
So, when she started speaking, Chu Chengfeng gradually relaxed his furrowed brow and heard the woman say, "Xiao Wen, I’m your sister Liu Ling, have you forgotten me?"
Xiao Wen finally broke free, with great difficulty, from the myriad indescribable negative emotions of the world.
She even felt her soul was roasted by flames until only ashes remained, yet she had to continue the current confrontation with strength.
She let out a long sigh, released her tightly clenched fists, looked at the woman with gentle smiles in her eyes, and shook her head slowly, "I don’t know you."
Upon hearing this, the woman called Liu Ling didn’t take it to heart, seemingly having anticipated it, and spoke gently again, "It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember. Back in the Divine Land, I also lost many memories, but I know you’re called Xiao Wen."
At this point, Chu Chengfeng became somewhat restless; he very much didn’t want to publicly reveal the three people’s relationship and history under the current circumstances.
He spoke in a deep voice, "Vice President Sima, let’s talk in the office; it seems inconvenient here."
"Inconvenient, what’s inconvenient about here? Chu Chengfeng, I just want to ask you, who is this woman?"
At this moment, Xiao Wen seemed calm yet irrational, unwilling to let this bastard off easily.
She wasn’t someone who would suffer silently; having been bullied, she certainly wanted to fight back, there was no reason to swallow grievances quietly.
"Do you really need to say it here?" Chu Chengfeng asked coldly without a trace of emotion.
His tone and mood were obviously agitated and irritable, drastically different from the usual, charismatic Chu Chengfeng, as if he had become someone else.
Fortunately, at this moment, those dining were in another corner, near the heater, basking in the warm sunlight, whereas the place they were in had no other people besides the four employees.
The manager and supervisor exchanged glances.
What should they do at this time?
If they left, they would be leaving their posts and their salaries would be docked, but if they stayed, this was a secret between the Vice President and Director Chu, specifically the business of these three people, a private matter not meant to be known by others.
What to do?
Would they be silenced?
Apart from the two waitstaff too scared to make a sound, the manager and supervisor had wry smiles on their faces but stood at their usual posts as if they hadn’t seen or heard anything.
Xiao Wen laughed, albeit with a hint of irony, "Why, I’m not afraid, what are you afraid of? Is it something that can’t be shown to others?"
"Can’t be shown? Xiao Wen, if you still have your memory, you should know Liu Ling is my fiancée. We’ve been separated for many years and I finally found her..." Chu Chengfeng said calmly despite his anger.
Is this for real?
Fiancée?
Separated for many years?
...
Xiao Wen felt as though her heart was being pierced by Chu Chengfeng’s words, bleeding profusely, causing unbearable pain...
But she couldn’t show it.
Xiao Wen’s smile deepened as she understood Chu Chengfeng had many hidden words, essentially telling her this was the future Clan Leader’s Wife.
She was before, and is now!
And he went out to find this woman, and now that he found her, he kicked her aside—no, he had already kicked her aside the moment his bloodline was renewed.
But what does this mean?
In this relationship, what wrong did she do?
Clearly, it was Chu Chengfeng who actively pursued her, and before, in her heart, she really didn’t take this man who was much younger than her seriously.
Yet now, this bastard lightly claims this is his fiancée, he found her and brought her back, it’s truly laughable.
Does he really think Xiao Wen is soft and easy to bully?
No matter what happened before, at least in this current period, Xiao Wen was not wrong, and if she did indeed commit wrongdoings in the past, she was willing to shoulder them alone, but now, the mistake was made by Chu Chengfeng, and she must let him know what’s going on.
Xiao Wen reached out her right hand, very calmly, though still with a smile, "Chu Chengfeng, return my belongings to me first."
Her belongings?
Chu Chengfeng froze for a moment, instinctively touching his chest, where he still carried the Nirvana Stone, furrowing his brow as he refused, "No, I must hand it to your father personally."
"This is the token of love I gave you, it has nothing to do with my father, please return it to me now," Xiao Wen stated word by word.
"I’m not giving it to you!"
Chu Chengfeng refused just as firmly.
