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 472 A Change of Angle

From this perspective, everything seems small and distant, as if the troubles and pains of the past have been left far behind.

The sunlight poured in through the plane window, warm and bright.

A breeze blew in from the vents, bringing with it the freshness of high altitude. Ji Wan felt an unprecedented sense of openness and freedom.

"How does it feel?" Fu Chen's voice came from the side. He operated skillfully and turned his head to look at her.

"It's so beautiful!" Ji Wan exclaimed sincerely, revealing the most genuine and brilliant smile since leaving Chi Wenyan. "It's completely different... It feels like the whole world is at my feet."

Fu Chen's eyes softened when he saw her smile. He flew the helicopter over the city so that she could fully enjoy the magnificent view.

Ji Wan's mood was completely relaxed. She felt a powerful force surging in her body, which was the power to break free from bondage and embrace new life.

Looking down from a high altitude, the people and things of the past no longer matter.

The flight lasted nearly an hour.

When the helicopter slowly landed on the tarmac, Ji Wan was still immersed in the shock and joy he had just felt.

She unbuckled her seat belt and turned to look at Fu Chen, her eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, Fu Chen. This feels so great! I never thought I would have such an experience."

Fu Chen unbuckled his seat belt, turned around and faced her with a gentle smile on his face: "As long as you like it. Sometimes if you look at things from a different angle, you will find a lot of different things."

He did not mention those obscure principles, but used this method to let her see a wider world.

Ji Wan nodded vigorously. She completely understood what Fu Chen meant. Looking down from above, all the things that had troubled her seemed insignificant.

"Thank you very much." She thanked him again solemnly.

"You're welcome." Fu Chen looked at her with deep eyes, "Ji Wan, you deserve a better life."

On the other side, in a dimly lit luxurious office, the atmosphere was as oppressive as the calm before the storm.

Chi Wenyan held a cigar between his fingers, the scarlet spark flickering in the dim light, the smoke blurring his handsome yet gloomy face. In front of him, on the computer screen, were several photos.

Ji Wan and Fu Chen stood side by side beside the helicopter. Ji Wan had a long-lost smile on his face, which came from the heart. That smile made Chi Wenyan's eyes almost bleed.

The angle of the photo was perfectly chosen, capturing the undisguised tenderness in Fu Chen's look at Ji Wan, as well as the complete relaxation and relief in Ji Wan's brows.

"Bang!"

He slammed the crystal ashtray to the ground, and the sound of it breaking was particularly harsh in the silent office.

"Fu Chen..." Chi Wenyan squeezed out the name from between his teeth, each word filled with cold hatred.

He took a big gulp of whiskey. The spicy liquid burned his throat, but it couldn't suppress the rage and...inexplicable panic in his heart that almost swallowed him.

That woman, the one he thought would always look up to him humbly, was now smiling brightly beside another man. He had never seen that smile on her face before, at least, not because of him.

My phone vibrated. It was an anonymous text message with only a hotel name and room number.

Chi Wenyan's scarlet eyes were filled with the desire to destroy everything. He grabbed his coat and growled hoarsely at the assistant standing outside the door, "Prepare the car! Go to XX Hotel where Ji Wan is!"

The assistant didn't dare ask any more questions and made arrangements quickly.

Ji Wan had just finished washing up and changed into a comfortable pajamas, and his mood was still light and happy after the flight.

She walked to the window, looked at the hustle and bustle of traffic downstairs, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

Fu Chen is right. If you change your perspective, the world will be really different.

“Dongdongdong——”

A sudden knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

Ji Wan frowned slightly. Who could it be at this time?

She walked to the door, looked out through the peephole, and her heart sank.

Standing outside the door was Chi Wenyan. His tall figure carried a strong smell of alcohol and an intimidating sense of oppression. The eyes that once fascinated her were now bloodshot and were staring intently in the direction of the cat's eye, as if he could see through the door and see her.

Ji Wan's hands and feet instantly turned cold.

She didn't want to open the door, not at all.

"Ji Wan! Open the door!" Chi Wenyan's voice was hoarse from drinking and carried an unquestionable command. He began to bang on the door impatiently, "I know you're in there! Open the door!"

The knocking on the door became louder and louder. Ji Wan was worried that it would attract other hotel guests and security guards, so he took a deep breath and finally opened the door.

As soon as the door opened a crack, Chi Wenyan squeezed in with brute force. The strong smell of alcohol mixed with his unique cold breath hit Ji Wan's face, making his stomach churn.

"What are you doing here?" Ji Wan took a step back, looked at him warily, his voice cold.

Chi Wenyan didn't answer, his scarlet eyes locked on her, and he approached her step by step. The violent aura on him made Ji Wan feel suffocated.

"Are you together with Fu Chen?" he asked, his voice grinding out from the depths of his throat, filled with strong jealousy.

Ji Wan's heart skipped a beat. How could he know Fu Chen? But she remained calm: "This has nothing to do with you."

"It has nothing to do with me?" Chi Wenyan seemed to have heard a huge joke. He took a step forward and grabbed her wrist with his big hand, almost crushing her bones. "Ji Wan, have you forgotten whose woman you used to be?"

"Let me go!" Ji Wan struggled hard, his wrist painfully gripped. "Chi Wenyan, we're done!"

"End?" Chi Wenyan growled, and with his other hand, he roughly pinched her chin, forcing her to look up at him, "If I don't say it's over, it will never end!"

Before she finished her words, his hot lips pressed down fiercely, kissing her lips fiercely with a sense of punishment and possession.

That wasn't a kiss, it was a nibble, a plunder. The strong smell of alcohol and tobacco instantly overwhelmed Ji Wan's senses, making her feel nauseous.

"Ugh...let go!"

Ji Wan's head buzzed, and all the blood rushed to her head. She desperately turned her head to avoid the nauseating touch, and pounded his chest with both hands.

This kiss, carrying all of Chi Wenyan's resentment and anger, made Ji Wan feel unprecedented humiliation and filth.

She felt as if she had been tainted by something foul.

"Chi Wenyan! Are you crazy?" Ji Wan used all her strength and finally pushed him away a little while he was gasping for breath. She gasped violently, with undisguised disgust in her eyes, "You make me feel sick!"

"Disgusting?" Chi Wenyan was stung by the disgust in her eyes and became even angrier. He approached her again and pressed her against the cold wall, his voice sounding like he was spitting poison.
