After trying to win over Bo Jingcheng for five years, Jiang Xinyue gave up her chance to return to the real world for him. She firmly believed that her deep affection and love could warm his cold h...
As Zhou Qi walked, he said, "I might be staying here for a while this time. I have some work to do in China. Hao Hao will be in a lot of trouble during this time, thanks to you and your aunt and uncle taking care of him."
Fu Heng laughed and said, "Don't worry, cousin. Hao Hao is such a cute little guy, I like him more than anything."
The three of them talked and then drove to the parking lot and back to the Fu family home.
When he arrived home, his mother had already prepared a sumptuous meal.
"Qiqi, it's rare for you to come back to China, so your auntie made your favorite dishes."
"Thank you, Auntie."
"By the way, how are your parents doing lately?" Fu's mother thought of her younger brother and sister-in-law who were abroad and couldn't help but ask about their situation.
With a gentle smile on her face, Zhou Qi responded softly, "My parents are in good health. They even went on a trip recently and asked me to give them my regards to you and my uncle when I return to China."
Mrs. Fu nodded with satisfaction and invited everyone to take their seats.
At the dinner table, Fu Heng teased Hao Hao, and the little guy laughed heartily, adding a touch of liveliness to the otherwise quiet atmosphere.
Looking at Zhou Qi, Fu's father asked with concern, "Qiqi, if you have any difficulties at work this time, just tell me, and your uncle will help if he can."
Zhou Qi quickly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Uncle. Actually, it's mainly about expanding the domestic market. It will be a bit complicated at the beginning, but the team is very supportive, and I'm confident I can do a good job."
At this moment, Fu Heng picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and put it into Hao Hao's bowl, then asked Zhou Qi with a smile, "Cousin, you've been abroad for so long, are you getting used to being back in China?"
Zhou Qi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "The changes are too great. I can't recognize many places. However, the familiar taste of home still makes me feel very warm."
Mother Fu smiled and said, "Then you should stay a few more days and enjoy the experience."
As if he had just thought of something, Zhou Qi quickly asked, "Aheng, so many years have passed, why haven't you brought a girlfriend home?"
Seeing that his cousin was also starting to care about his marriage, Fu Heng frowned and said, "Cousin, it's dinner time, can we not discuss this?"
When Fu Heng's love life was mentioned, his mother quickly added fuel to the fire: "Qiqi, you have to help me persuade Aheng. This brat is getting on in years and still refuses to get married. All the blind dates I've introduced him to have fallen through. I really don't know what kind of woman he likes."
Zhou Qi covered her mouth and chuckled, looking at Fu Heng: "Aheng, don't be resistant. Your aunt is only doing this for your own good. Tell me, what kind of person do you want to find? Maybe your cousin can give you some advice."
Fu Heng reluctantly put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "I really don't have any special requirements. I just want to find someone I can talk to and who shares my values, but this can't be rushed."
Mr. Fu took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Aheng, don't take it lightly. If you meet someone suitable, take the initiative. Look at your cousin, she manages to balance her career and family so well."
A fleeting hint of disappointment crossed Zhou Qi's face, but he quickly smiled again: "Uncle, I'm just lucky. Aheng is such an outstanding person, when the time is right, the right person will naturally appear."
Fu Heng glanced gratefully at his cousin and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, cousin, which area are you focusing on this time when you expand your domestic business? Maybe I can help you."
Zhou Qi's eyes lit up, and he became interested: "It's mainly new energy and environmental protection projects. Now, China is paying more and more attention to environmental protection, and the market potential is huge. We have already made initial contact with several companies, but we are still in the investigation stage."
Fu Heng nodded thoughtfully: "New energy and environmental protection is indeed a hot field. I know some experts in the industry. I'll give you their contact information later, which may be helpful to you."
Zhou Qi thanked him repeatedly: "That's great, Aheng. With your help, I feel much more confident."
At this moment, Hao Hao finished eating and started clamoring to go play.
Fu Heng stood up and picked up Hao Hao: "Come on, Uncle will take you to play."
Watching Fu Heng and Hao Hao's departing figures, Fu's mother sighed, "When will this child ever give me a break?"
Zhou Qi comforted her, "Auntie, Aheng has his own ideas, and you can't force matters of the heart. His career is going well now, and who knows, he might suddenly bring you a girlfriend you like someday."
Mrs. Fu smiled and said, "I hope so!"
The Bo family villa.
"Siyao, where did you go so early in the morning?"
When Shen Siyao returned to the Bo family home, Bo Jingcheng was sitting on the sofa, looking at her with a scrutinizing expression.
Last night, he got drunk, and it must have been Shen Siyao who brought him home.
After that, he remembered that he seemed to have seen Jiang Xinyue.
It seems he mistook her for Jiang Xinyue last night, which is why Shen Siyao was so angry and ran away early this morning.
"Bo Jingcheng, how dare you ask me where I went? Last night, I don't know who it was, but when they were holding me, they were calling out another woman's name." Shen Siyao was still angry, and her words were full of bitterness.
Bo Jingcheng frowned, his face showing embarrassment and guilt. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain but not knowing where to begin.
After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Siyao, I drank too much last night. It was my fault. Don't take it to heart."
Shen Siyao sneered, her eyes full of mockery: "Drunk? You think you can pretend nothing happened just by saying you were drunk? After all this time, what am I to you? A substitute for Jiang Xinyue?"
Bo Jingcheng stood up and tried to take Shen Siyao's hand, but she shook him off forcefully. He sighed helplessly and said, "Siyao, you know that Xinyue and I have a lot in the past, and it's hard to let go completely in a short time. But after spending time with you, I've also developed feelings for you."
A glimmer of hope flashed in Shen Siyao's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger: "You have feelings? If you had feelings, how could you call her name at a time like that? Bo Jingcheng, you've disappointed me so much. Is it because you can't forget her that you don't want a divorce?"
Bo Jingcheng was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
At this moment, Bo Xuan came downstairs and, noticing the awkward atmosphere between the two, cautiously asked, "Dad, Aunt Siyao, what's wrong?"
When Shen Siyao saw Bo Xuan, she forced a smile: "Xuanxuan, it's okay, your dad and I are chatting!"
Meanwhile, Fu Heng was playing with Hao Hao in the garden, but Jiang Xinyue's image kept appearing in his mind.
He wondered what she was doing today.
Just then, Hao Hao tugged at his sleeve: "Uncle, look, that flower is so pretty, I want to pick it and give it to Mom."
Fu Heng snapped out of his daze and smiled at Hao Hao, saying, "Hao Hao is such a good boy. But if we pick the flower, it will wither. Let's let it grow here properly. Mom will be very happy to see it."
Hao Hao nodded, seemingly understanding, "Alright then."
