Late is Not Late

Ji Wan thought Zhou Zechuan was a light in her life. She willingly hid her brilliance and entered into a secret marriage with him for two years, content to be his kept woman. However, she didn'...

Chapter 207 Love

"Listen to my arrangements for this matter. Rest well at home these few days and try not to go out."

After hearing this, Wang Yuting's eyes lit up and she nodded excitedly.

The Queen Mother looked at the King Father, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say anything.

The weather was fine, and Ji Wan was lying on a rocking rattan chair, reading a gossip magazine with great interest.

The sunlight shone on her through the mottled leaves, creating patches of light and shadow.

"What are you looking at?" Chi Wenyan, wearing an apron and holding a bowl of freshly made egg fried rice, slowly walked towards Ji Wan.

There were still a few oil stains on his apron from cooking, but it didn't affect the charm he exuded at all. His eyes were gentle and he walked lightly, for fear of disturbing Ji Wan who was immersed in the magazine.

"I'm tired of reading financial magazines. I can't work forever, so I'll just read some gossip to relax."

Ji Wan chuckled, put down the magazine and looked up at him. Chi Wenyan handed the bowl of egg fried rice to Ji Wan's mouth. The fried rice exuded an enticing aroma, and the golden eggs were mixed with the plump rice grains.

"Are you tired of watching? Why don't you try the food I cooked? It's still hot from the pot." His voice was as gentle as the sunny weather, with a doting smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, you have to try the food that Mr. Chi cooked."

I have to say, Ji Wan has gained a few pounds since Chi Wenyan took over as chef.

"Wen Yan, I'm going back to Yucheng in two days."

"I'll accompany you."

"No need. If you go back with me, I don't know what will happen to Kyoto. It won't be a big deal for me to go back this time."

Ji Wan lowered his eyes, rubbed the handle of the spoon, and said softly, "My brother is getting married, I'm going back to prepare for it. Plus, it's the anniversary of my family's death soon, so I'm going back to pay my respects."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in Kyoto. I'll send more people to go back with you this time."

"Also, I'm always by your side. I can come anytime you need me."

"good."

Ji Wan smiled, the sadness in her eyes slowly dissipated, and she leaned over and hugged Chi Wenyan. The warm atmosphere filled the air, making her feel very at ease.

"Let's go to the movies together tonight."

"Are you asking me out on a date?"

"certainly."

Ji Wan was ready to have a good time in the evening.

Chi Wenyan's phone suddenly vibrated. He took out his phone and saw that it was a message from Wang Yuting's parents. His eyes narrowed slightly and his brows furrowed slightly.

Ji Wan keenly noticed the change in Chi Wenyan. She raised her head with a hint of confusion in her eyes: "What's wrong?"

Chi Wenyan sighed softly and showed Ji Wan the message on the phone screen: "It's Wang Yuting's parents. They said they want to discuss a business deal with me in a few days."

"What are you going to do?"

Chi Wenyan looked at Ji Wan and said, "When I was a child, I received some small favors from them. I don't like to owe favors to others. This time I went to repay them and told them clearly that I will not have any contact with them in the future."

Ji Wan was silent for a while, then nodded, "Since you have made up your mind, then go ahead and explain it clearly."

Chi Wenyan felt warm in his heart, and he hugged Ji Wan tightly in his arms. "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

In the evening, the two went out for a sweet date. Ji Wan snuggled up to Chi Wenyan and felt more and more that she couldn't live without him.

If one day, Chi Wenyan disappeared from her world, she thought she would be the first to be unable to bear it.

"What are you thinking about?"

Chi Wenyan pinched her absent-minded cheek, and Ji Wan came back to her senses, a hint of sadness appearing on her pretty face.

"I'm wondering what I'll become if you leave me one day."

Chi Wenyan was stunned for a moment, then a gentle smile appeared on his face. He hugged the treasure that belonged to him with a little too much strength, but it was precisely because of such strength that the treasure was almost melted into his bones and blood that Ji Wan felt a little relieved.

"Don't worry, I won't leave you, never. Even if we are forced to separate, even if something happens, even if I lose my memory, my love will recognize you at the first moment."

Ji Wan's heart was beating like a drum, as if it was going to jump out of his chest. He felt his eyes getting moist unconsciously. Chi Wenyan's face became blurry and gradually he could not see clearly.

The warm fingertips wiped away her tears, and then the red lips left a cool and soft mark.

"Okay, I believe you." This was her last sentence as she finally fell into lust.

The two of them lived a peaceful life these few days until Wang Yuting's parents sent a message again.

Chi Wenyan arrived at the place agreed with Wang Yuting's parents, a five-star hotel in Kyoto with Chinese style. The meeting place was in an elegant tea room.

As soon as he entered the door, Wang Yuting's parents came to greet him warmly.

"Wen Yan, long time no see." Wang Yuting's father said with a smile, with a hint of elder's kindness in his eyes.

"Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, long time no see." Chi Wenyan said in a polite yet somewhat distant tone.

The king's father and mother looked at each other, and the king's father Weiwei shook his head and exchanged greetings with Chi Wenyan with a smile.

After the three of them sat down, Wang Yuting's mother spoke first: "Wen Yan, we are looking for you this time because we do have a business deal that we would like to cooperate with you on. We know your ability in the business world and believe that you can do a good job on this project."

Chi Wenyan nodded slightly: "Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, you can first talk about the details of this project."

Wang Yuting's father began to introduce the business project in detail.

The Wang Group wants to invest in a holiday villa. Although the location is a bit far away, it has many advantages in terms of environment and suitable climate. They are struggling to decide whether to make it an entertainment villa like an amusement park.

It was the kind that served the rich. While listening, Chi Wenyan quickly analyzed the pros and cons in his mind.

Although he came to repay a favor, he would not act carelessly in business.

As the conversation deepened, Chi Wenyan put forward some of his own opinions and suggestions. Wang Yuting's parents nodded repeatedly, praising his professionalism and insight.

People outside say that the kid from the Chi family went against the Chi family when he came back. Although this is a scandal for the Chi family at the time, in a circle like the business world where the strong are in power, if you are stronger than your family, it is also a skill.

Besides, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Chi Wenyan came back to retake the inheritance rights. After all, his surname was Chi, and he took over when the old man of the Chi family stepped down. In essence, he was still a member of the Chi family.

"I suggest we create a mass entertainment model, and in the early stages we can shoot variety shows to attract attention."

"Not bad, not bad. After listening to your analysis, this one seems to be more stable."

Wang's father looked at Chi Wenyan with increasing admiration, but after chatting for such a long time, Chi Wenyan still looked polite and distant.

During this period, he didn't mention Yuting at all, it seemed that he was targeting Yuting and had no interest in her.

The king's father sighed in his heart, but for the sake of his family, he had to resort to this method.

"Come on, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I ordered the best red wine here. Let's taste it together."
