This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

When Wang Zhengjuan received Chen Yuanxi’s photos, she was sitting next to Zhou Nannan and watching her write the design plan.

There was Longjing tea on the table, next to which was Shanghai dessert. The crystal lampshade was engraved with a rabbit pattern. Two rows of orange small sofas were in the room, on which were pillows in the shape of Totoro and Pikachu. The inclined skylight on the roof was made up of transparent glass, from which the moonlight could fall like water. A cartoon carpet was placed in front of the door, and a row of stickers was at the back of the door, on which two light blue small towels and one red large towel, and a black large towel were hung. This was the highest level of a quiet and elegant home office.

The two had spent more than six years together here. If there was no surprise, they would buy a recreational vehicle to travel around when they saved enough money.

The town was very quiet, which was in the Huangpu District of gorgeous Shanghai and near the confluence of Suzhou River and Huangpu River and ten kilometers north of Yu Garden. It was a rare sequestered place.

“Juan, how about adopting a child?” Zhou Nannan suddenly pointed to her architectural drawings and said, “Look, how nice the baby room they designed is.”

Wang Zhengjuan pointed to the cat who was lolling at them on the sofa and said, “Let’s wait a little longer. When we have a recreational vehicle, we can travel with baby and Xiaohan.”

“How about asking for help from Wenxi and Zhao Yuan? I’ll have a baby with Wenxi, and you’ll have a baby with Zhao Yuan.” Zhou Nannan chuckled.

Wang Zhengjuan grabbed Zhou Nannan’s little ear and said, “Hey! Do you want to have a boyfriend?”

“I just want them to help us. We can have test-tube babies. Both of them are so excellent, then our babies can inherit their genes!” Zhou Nannan smiled mischievously.

“Bah! When the children grow up, they will only know their father!” Wang Zhengjuan said with a smile, “By the way, I will go back to my hometown recently. You can help me manage the coffee shop these days. I’ll be back soon.”

“Don’t quarrel with your parents!” said Zhou Nannan. In fact, what she wanted to say was that they would call me and scold me if you quarreled with them.

Wang Zhengjuan and Chen Yuanxi met at a remote braised lobster stall in the small town.

“My parents haven’t done anything wicked. What’s the matter with these bloody photos?” Wang Zhengjuan asked.

“You probably know more about the style of the Mo Family than me. It can be said that your parents are suffering the threat from the Mo Family now. You can either flee overseas with Nannan, or marry someone in City Hua and ask people there to help you, so that your parents can escape,” said Chen Yuanxi.

“According to your words, do I have other choices?” asked Wang Zhengjuan.

“No, you have no choice.” Chen Yuanxi said without expression.

“Lin Wenxi! When you eloped with Zhao Yuan, did you think about your family?” asked Wang Zhengjuan.

“Did you think that your father must be able to subdue the Chens, so you escaped at that time? If somebody told you that if you stayed and married someone, your father would survive. What would you choose?” Wang Zhengjuan asked sharply.

“I didn’t have such a choice, so it’s a pseudo-proposition. Zhengjuan, I can’t help you in this matter, but I can ensure your parents’ safety if you get married,” said Chen Yuanxi.

“What’s your deal with my parents?” Wang Zhengjuan asked in a hoarse voice.

“A deal that will keep your family safe. But as their daughter, you need to take this responsibility. Of course, that is also what they expect!”

“Lin Wenxi, do unto others as you would be done! Now you are really a good young master of the Chens, aren’t you?” Wang Zhengjuan tightly held the plate on the table, and her face turned livid.

“Wenxi, is there any other way? You must have, right?” Wang Zhengjuan asked, “As long as you help me, I can do anything you want me to do!”

“Don’t go to Wanxin anymore. She is very upset about the company recently. In addition, our family is low-key recently. No one in the Chens can protect your parents for you, except me. But, if you have any other connection with the Mo Family, I won’t care about your parents. We were classmates, and don’t ruin the relationship. I tried my best,” Chen Yuanxi said as he handed over a business card, “This is my phone number, and you can contact me at any time. Once you have a decision, please let me know.”

When Chen Yuanxi came out of the small restaurant, he almost fell.

“Both youth and flowers are beautiful, but one day both of them will disappear. Wang Zhengjuan, please accept your fate.”

When Zhao Yuan passed by again, he gave Chen Yuanxi two plans, and was about to leave in a hurry. Everything about listing was too busy. Many things, documents, and certificates needed to be done by him in person.

“Yuan, do me another favor.”

“What kind of things?”

“Promise me first.”

“I promise.”

“Hire some people and ask them to Shanghai to monitor Wang Zhengjuan and Zhou Nannan. If they want to go abroad, stop them. In addition, install your surveillance cameras in their residence. I’ll monitor them at any time.”

“Wenxi, what, what do you want to do?”

“Don’t ask more, just do it.”

It rained heavily on the Qingming Festival this year.

In front of Lin Ziwei’s tomb, there were still many people holding a memorial ceremony. One of them was tall and strong, dressed in a suit and a small white flower on his chest. He put a magnolia in front of the tomb, raised his head slightly, and said, “Wenxi and I are brothers. Uncle, if you are alive in the paradise, please bless Wenxi with what he wants and Wanxin with safety and healthy. They… after all, they are siblings.” Later, he raised half of a pendant and shook it in the rain.

Soon, a man in black approached him and said two names in a deep voice, “Hong Yan, Wenxi.”

Then the pendant was given to the man with a letter.

In front of Zhao Mingjiang’s tomb, Chen Wanxin, dressed in a pure white cotton cheongsam and a pair of white gloves, was standing there, holding an umbrella. She had put a bunch of babysbreath here. Soon, the person she was waiting for, gradually approached her in the misty rain.

“As your wife, I can come to worship my father. I didn’t do anything wrong,” said Chen Wanxin.

Zhao Yuan dusted the rain on his body, saying nothing.

More than seven years ago, he said in person here that he would marry Chen Wanxin.

“Yes, you did nothing wrong. It was me who did something wrong.” “But if my father had known that it was you who poisoned me and made me dizzy, he would also be afraid to keep such a dangerous wife by my side. Chen Wanxin, I almost didn’t guard against you,” said Zhao Yuan.

“I just want to give you a baby and perpetuate the family. From the beginning of the wedding, no matter what your purpose is, I am the family member of the Zhao Family. Zhao Yuan, dare you say that you have done what he said in front of him?” asked Chen Wanxin.

“Wanxin, sometimes I really want to know if my soul can leave my body. If I can, I really want to go to the netherworld to ask my father why did he give me this order?” Zhao Yuan said in a cold voice.

“Because I am the only woman who loves you the most in the world,” said Chen Wanxin.

“But you are not the one who loves me the most in the world,” said Zhao Yuan.

Chen Wanxin’s umbrella fell to the ground, making her hair exposed to the rain. After suddenly getting warmer, the weather had turned cold again. The green grass on the grave was covered with countless dewdrops, which looked like the tears she could not shed now.

Suddenly, a figure appeared on the ridge of the field. It was Zheng Kai.

Zheng Kai picked up Chen Wanxin’s umbrella and put it into Zhao Yuan’s hand.

“I’m entrusted by Wenxi to send a flower,” Zheng Kai said as he put down a bunch of white chrysanthemums, “A’yuan, I’m sorry for your loss. I’m leaving.”

Then he left in silence.

“Wanxin, the best thing you can do is to be quiet and get along with Wenxi and everything,” Zhao Yuan looked at Zheng Kai’s back and said.

Zhao Yuan hurried to the small town. He could not stand to stay in front of his father’s grave any longer. Since Lin Wenxi came back, he felt that he wanted to see Lin Wenxi and hold him tightly most at this moment.

Chen Yuanxi stood alone in the courtyard. A magnolia tree was in full bloom here, earlier than other magnolia trees. The white flowers looked like the newspapers in the street and wreaths around the world in those years.

Today was a day that he could not let go, but a piece of exciting news came to him today.

Zhang Dong’s parents had gone to the United States safely.

If Mo Qian wanted to watch the surveillance video of Zhang Dong’s parents when he had time in the future, what he would see was the video about the house which had been decorated three years ago. There would be no repetition, and there would never be clocks, calendars, or something like that in the video.

Chen Yuanxi had to admire Zhao Yuan’s arrangement.

“You are free,” Chen Yuanxi said with a smile. A magnolia petal fell from the air. Chen Yuanxi put it into his mouth. It tasted sour and astringent.

Zhang Dong stood there and almost could not believe that. Then he raised his one foot and kicked the bamboo fence around the Magnolia, making it in disorder.

“Wenxi, can you go out with me?” Zhang Dong almost could not restrain the excitement in his heart.

They went out side by side.

The grass in the park was boundless. Zhang Dong turned more than ten somersaults on the lawn, then jumped into the lake and rolled in the water. He did not stop and lie on the landing bridge by the lake until he was tired, looking at the boundless drizzle and boundless sky!

“Lin Wenxi!” Zhang Dong shouted to Chen Yuanxi, “Attention!”

Chen Yuanxi could not help but stand beside the landing bridge.

“Lin Wenxi! Smile!” Zhang Dong grinned.

Chen Yuanxi smiled.

Zhang Dong shouted, “Turn back!”.

Chen Yuanxi turned and faced the landing bridge.

“March!”

Chen Yuanxi kept marching, and Zhang Dong did not stop him.

Chen Yuanxi suddenly fell into the water, and Zhang Dong also jumped into it. Soon, he showed up at Chen Yuanxi’s side and said, “Silly boy, you can’t swim, how dared you do that?”

“Aren’t you my bodyguard?” Chen Yuanxi asked with a smile.

“Yes, I am!” Zhang Dong could not help holding Chen Yuanxi tightly and said, “I’ve always been your bodyguard!” “No matter when and where, I will protect you all my life, every minute and second!”

Chen Yuanxi slightly held back his smile. He saw Zhang Dong’s clear eyes, in which one could see the sun, and touched his arm and scars on his body. Chen Yuanxi just allowed Zhang Dong to hold him tightly and swim freely in the lake.

“On the surface, you will still listen to Mo Qian and don’t show any clue for the time being. In addition, write down all the things you have done in these years. Those which were directly ordered by Mo Qian must be written down with confession and signature!” Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.

“It’s up to you!” Zhang Dong put his one arm on Chen Yuanxi’s chest, and swam with the other in the water, “And I’ll write down all that happened that year. I’ll write it all down!”

Not far away under the green willow, Zhao Yuan turned around and left silently.

That night, Zhang Dong wrote thousands of words, and dozens of cases he had done. Chen Yuanxi was relieved that none of them was criminal case. Zhang Dong then took a knife and cut his fingers. A big bloody fingerprint was left there. After that, he signed and handed it to Chen Yuanxi.

“I helped Chen Tianjiao once by chance. Since then, I’ve always worked for him. Chen Tianjiao is cunning. He has never ordered me to do anything that would keep the criminal record. Because of him, Mo Qian also has never ordered me to kill someone. All he asked me to do were only dangerous. Besides, He Fu happened to come. Maybe I was lucky,” said Zhang Dong.

Chen Yuanxi nodded, looked at them, and said, “You missed one.”

“I don’t want to write about that now. I think you can write it yourself later, will you?” Zhang Dong said with a smile.

Chen Yuanxi hesitated for a moment and finally agreed.
