"So what do you want?"
Chu Chengfeng asked sowhat irritably.
"It’s very easy to solve, just tell our family and friends that we’ve broken up, especially your parents."
"Then what reason should we give?" Chu Chengfeng asked, feeling a bit stifled.
He actually ignored the fact that he still had a ho here. Although his mother didn’t pay much attention to him, she definitely kept up appearances.
He also knew that his nominal adoptive mother had already prepared the wedding things for him. After all, with the Chu Family being large and prosperous, preparing these things was just a drop in the ocean, and she naturally was happy to do this favor. However, he knew his old man truly liked Sima Xiaowen.
At the sa ti, Chu Chengfeng felt a bit of a headache coming on.
"There are plenty of reasons. You’ve had a change of heart, found soone else, our relationship broke down. I don’t mind losing face as long as your Liu Ling doesn’t provoke ..."
Sima Xiaowen said nonchalantly.
Chu Chengfeng looked at Sima Xiaowen with a displeased expression, "What other woman? Don’t say such unpleasant things. Liu Ling is already my fiancée, Elder Sima isn’t here, but if he were, he would know. I don’t believe he’s forgotten this."
"Then you can tell others, too, that you two have known each other for many, many years, hundreds or thousands. I ca later, so do as you please."
Then Sima Xiaowen continued, "...You can also tell others you’re the Clan Leader of the Phoenix Clan, very impressive."
"You’re really just the sa as before, not a bit different."
"No, I should say you haven’t made any progress at all."
Chu Chengfeng said expressionlessly.
"You’re absolutely right. I’ve always been this way."
Sima Xiaowen laughed sweetly, "But such as I am, from the day you, Chu Chengfeng, t , you loved to death, even willing to sacrifice your life for ..."
"You..." Chu Chengfeng’s face instantly flushed. At this mont, one sat in a chair at the office desk, while the other sat on a sofa not far away. Sima Xiaowen was relaxed and languid.
"...How can you even say such things?" Chu Chengfeng said resentfully.
"That’s what you did before. What’s so hard about saying it? Otherwise, why would I, Sima Xiaowen, agree to be with you?"
"Was there ever anything between us..."
Chu Chengfeng’s heart suddenly raced, asking tentatively with so unease, while his heart beat faster and faster, like a drum.
"...Was there ever anything?" Xiao Wen’s beautiful eyes turned slightly, looking at Chu Chengfeng with a hint of amusent, "Are you trying to say if we were ever together..."
"Stop it!"
Chu Chengfeng’s face turned bright red as he suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.
Not only was his face flushed, but his ears were red too.
Sima Xiaowen slowly stepped forward. Chu Chengfeng was tall; she needed to look up slightly to et his gaze.
Yet, even so, at this mont, Sima Xiaowen surprisingly took the lead. Her smile even carried a hint of mischief, "Chu Chengfeng, only you and I know about such things, but it’s a pity that you’ve lost all mories of it, so now I’m the only one who knows, but I won’t tell you."
Sima Xiaowen hadn’t expected that the bloodline-awakened Chu Chengfeng would still have such a side.
It’s well known that Chu Chengfeng was once a flirtatious playboy.
If not for his life-saving actions in Jinling City and his tireless pursuit, why would she agree to him?
"Sima Xiaowen!" Chu Chengfeng growled through gritted teeth, glaring at the woman in front of him.
Sima Xiaowen, however, waved her hand, "Forget it, forget it. Let’s talk business, do you agree with my previous proposal?"
"I agree."
Suddenly, Chu Chengfeng felt the temperature in the office rise. He didn’t want to stay in this room any longer and wanted to leave quickly because, in his distant mory, Sima Xiaowen seed to have said similar things to him before.
He hastily said, "Regarding work matters, I agree to everything."
Everything was still the sa as before, with an additional condition forbidding Liu Ling’s appearance in the beef noodle shop.
From now on, the two of them would only have a working relationship, which allowed Chu Chengfeng to quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Now let’s talk about our wedding house."
Sima Xiaowen returned to the sofa and sat down leisurely again, then threw out this sentence.
"Wedding house?" Chu Chengfeng furrowed his brows, "I don’t rember."
It wasn’t related to work; it was about Sima Xiaowen. He truly didn’t rember.
"It’s okay if you don’t rember. I rember the house is with your Chu Family, and you paid for the decorations. However, many things in the house are mine, Sima Xiaowen’s. Find a ti, and we’ll go back together. I need to take my things."
Sima Xiaowen spoke lightly, but who knew that deep inside she was truly very sad. Who would have thought that after arranging the wedding house with Chu Chengfeng with such enthusiasm, it could end like this?
Although Sima Xiaowen was smiling with a languid posture, and appeared calm and composed, there was still a trace of sadness that subtly lingered around her...
Chu Chengfeng instantly felt it. He felt an inexplicable irritation, accompanied by a bit of heartache.
He didn’t want to stay here any longer and strode towards the door, saying as he walked, "Fine, whenever you find the ti, you can go."
Then he quickly left his own office. Sima Xiaowen sat on the sofa, slightly raising her head. Monts later, a tear uncontrollably fell from the corner of her eye.
She extended her fingertip to wipe away the tear, smiled self-deprecatingly, composed herself, and then followed him out.
Thus, the matter between Chu Chengfeng and Sima Xiaowen ended.
However, those who knew them never anticipated it, causing quite an uproar, with Father Chu having the strongest reaction because he was unaware of the details. Although the Old Patriarch knew the situation, he was helpless and could only pick up the phone and scold Chu Chengfeng’s father harshly.
It was only then that Father Chu realized the foolishness his son had done.
Amid his anger, there was still a hint of confusion. This child wasn’t his biological son, but no one knew except his wife.
Chu Chengfeng was naturally unaware, so the father-son relationship was always very good.
And he knew his son really valued Sima Xiaowen.
He held no prejudice against suitable marriages; as long as his son liked it, that was enough. After all, although he had found him, without the child in that cave back then, he wouldn’t have survived either, and this matter was his own secret, destined to remain buried in his heart forever.
