Chapter 370 Reconciliation

She gritted her teeth, picked up her phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, Mr. Li? I've thought about it. I promise you what you said last time."

…

Chi Wenyan left the apartment and looked up at the deep night sky.

He felt a sense of relief he had never felt before.

After dealing with the person who was secretly obstructing him, he could finally face Ji Wan without any worries. He had to return to her before Ji Wan woke up.

He wanted to explain everything to her in person.

When Chi Wenyan returned to Ji Wan's apartment again, it was already dawn.

He gently pushed open the bedroom door and walked in.

Ji Wan was still sleeping soundly, her breathing even and calm. He walked to the bed and lay down gently beside her.

He carefully held her in his arms, feeling her soft body.

Ji Wan seemed to realize something and opened his eyes drowsily.

When she saw clearly that the person in front of her was Chi Wenyan, she was stunned.

She thought she was dreaming.

"Why are you here?" She said in a hoarse voice with a hint of confusion.

Chi Wenyan stroked her hair gently, his voice low and magnetic.

"Wanwan, I'm sorry for making you feel wronged. Those things are not true. I have never used you, nor have I ever promised anyone any conditions. I love you, Wanwan, I only love you."

Chi Wenyan's confession was sincere and affectionate. Every word was like a stone thrown into Ji Wan's calm heart, causing ripples.

She stared at him blankly, her eyes gradually becoming moist.

"Are you serious?" Her voice trembled with a hint of disbelief.

Chi Wenyan gazed at her affectionately, his eyes full of determination and tenderness.

"It's true, Wanwan, I swear." He leaned over and kissed her gently on the lips.

It was a kiss full of love and commitment.

Ji Wan slowly closed her eyes and responded to his kiss.

All the grievances and sadness disappeared at this moment.

The sunlight from outside the window shone through the gauze curtains and reflected on Ji Wan's flushed cheeks. The kiss carried Chi Wenyan's unique aura, domineering yet unexpectedly gentle.

The remaining grievance deep in the woman's heart quickly melted away like thin ice exposed to the sun.

Sweetness spread from the tip of my heart, almost overflowing from my chest.

But she gently pushed him away, turned her face away, and felt a slight burning sensation in her ears.

The voice was still a little hoarse, but it was less cold and had a hint of subtle shyness.

"Are you done? If you're done, leave now."

She said she was driving him away in a tough way, but she didn't dare to look him in the eye.

Instead of leaving, Chi Wenyan took hold of her slender wrist and stroked her slightly cool skin with his fingertips.

His voice was low and firm, with an unquestionable stubbornness.

"I won't leave, Wanwan, let me stay."

Ji Wan struggled, but failed to break free. Instead, he pulled her closer.

"What are you staying for? You're not welcome here."

Having said that, her strength was very light.

Chi Wenyan stared at her slightly red eyes, and his heart seemed to be gently pulled by something.

"Take care of you."

His tone was gentle, with a hint of obvious flattery.

Ji Wan was about to say something when he suddenly felt a familiar pain in his stomach.

The aftereffects of the hangover, coupled with the turbulent mood swings, made her stomach protest.

Her delicate brows furrowed instantly, and she subconsciously covered her lower abdomen, her face turning a little paler.

Chi Wenyan immediately noticed that something was wrong with her.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling sick to your stomach?"

The nervousness in his tone was undisguised.

Ji Wan bit his lip and nodded, with fine beads of cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

“It’s an old problem…”

"Lie down quickly." Chi Wenyan carefully helped her lie down again, his movements as gentle as if he was treating a fragile treasure.

He tucked in the quilt for her, stood up and walked quickly out of the bedroom.

Not long after, Chi Wenyan came in with a cup of warm water and stomach medicine.

He knelt on one knee beside the bed and patiently coaxed her to take the medicine.

"Be good, the pain will go away after taking the medicine."

Ji Wan looked at his clumsy yet serious expression, and the awkwardness in his heart completely disappeared.

This man who usually acts high and mighty and has the final say, now lowers his posture for her and is extremely gentle.

In the next few days, Chi Wenyan completely transformed himself into a very filial boyfriend.

He turned down all unnecessary social engagements and stayed by Ji Wan's side almost every step of the way.

In the early morning, he would get up early and cook millet porridge for her, which was nourishing to her stomach. The aroma of the porridge filled the entire apartment.

At noon, he studied various light and nutritious recipes and cooked them himself.

In the evening, he would watch movies with her, or just hold her quietly and listen to her talk.

Ji Wan's stomach gradually improved, and his mood became brighter than ever.

Chi Wenyan's gentleness and thoughtfulness were like a fine net, wrapping her tightly.

During this period, Chi Wenyan called his assistant.

"All online rumors about me and He Wanqing must be dealt with immediately. I don't want to see any more related information."

His tone returned to his usual cold, firm, and decisive tone, brooking no argument.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Ji Wanshi, and his eyes softened instantly.

Ji Wan was enjoying the long-lost peace and sweetness, as if all the previous misunderstandings and twists and turns were just paving the way for the happiness of this moment.

Half a month passed in a flash.

These days were a rare pure and peaceful time in Ji Wan's memory.

Chi Wenyan's meticulous care completely eliminated the gap between the two, and their feelings quickly warmed up as they spent time together in daily life.

All the anxieties and suspicions that had troubled her were soothed one by one by his gentle actions.

Thanks to the Chi Group's swift and efficient operation, all the rumors about Chi Wenyan and He Wanqing on the Internet have long disappeared without a trace.

It was as if the storm had never happened.

That afternoon, the sun was shining brightly. Ji Wan was curled up on the sofa reading a script, feeling very comfortable, when the doorbell suddenly rang.

She was a little confused, who could it be at this time?

After opening the door, the courier handed her an exquisite gold-stamped envelope.

The envelope is made of exquisite material and has a light fragrance.

In the sender column, the three words "He Wanqing" were clearly written.

Ji Wan's heart sank slightly.

She opened the envelope and inside was a beautifully designed wedding invitation.

The bright red background is printed with the names of the bride and groom.

Bride: He Wanqing.

The groom's name made her pupils shrink.

Zhou Shenghong.

The name sounds familiar, but I can't remember it at the moment.

What shocked her even more was the age mark next to the groom - fifty-eight years old.

An old man in his sixties?

Ji Wan's hand holding the invitation trembled slightly.

She could hardly believe her eyes.

He Wanqing, the woman who once stood proudly beside Chi Wenyan and wanted to marry into a wealthy family by any means necessary, was actually going to marry a man older than her father?
