Chapter 226 A Man Who Loves His Wife Thrives

The only person Fu Shenyuan is thinking about right now is Jiang Ranxing.

Wan Luyuan was very perceptive and understood what Fu Shenyuan was thinking. He continued, "There aren't many men who think like you anymore. People say that those who love their wives will prosper, while those who neglect their wives will never have any wealth. I think that's really true. Good, good, good."

Wan Luyuan then swung his third shot, which was significantly better this time. Even the caddie next to him could tell that Wan Luyuan had been holding back earlier, and this time he was showing a bit of his true golfing ability.

Fu Shenyuan also raised his hand and swung his club. With a clean serve and turn, the ball landed in an excellent position. It was no worse than Wan Luyuan's previous shot. On the contrary, it was more skillful and controlled. Fu Shenyuan knew exactly how to handle each ball in each position.

Wan Luyuan clapped his hands repeatedly: "You are a promising young man, Shen Yuan. You are clearly trying to compete."

Fu Shenyuan stood up straight, his posture still tall and imposing, and his aura was not to be underestimated. Even in such a casual setting, he was still eye-catching and dazzling.

“It’s not about fighting,” Fu Shenyuan said. “I’m about taking back what rightfully belongs to me.”

"Uncle Wan, you should know that the Fu Group has always been controlled by the chairman, and I have always been the one he favors to take charge. I was suspended from my post for a period of time because of my personal issues, but that doesn't mean that the person in charge has become Second Uncle."

Fu Shenyuan decided not to beat around the bush with Wan Luyuan anymore. He stopped and looked at Wan Luyuan.

"You've followed your second uncle for so many years. Even if you haven't made any great contributions, you've certainly put in a lot of hard work. Are you really willing to be kicked out of the Fu family like this? Just like when I was young, I had just lost my parents, who were the biggest threat to my second uncle, and then I was kicked out of the Fu family. I was too young to understand back then, but I knew that my second uncle's actions were inhumane. Now that it's your turn, Uncle Wan, are you really willing to swallow this insult and give up what you deserve?"

After speaking, Fu Shenyuan gracefully stepped forward, took the caddie's club, and swung it again, sending the golf ball flying into the distance.

He knew that for someone like Wan Luyuan, practical interests were paramount; after all, nothing in this world is without its stakes.

Fu Shenyuan continued, “Now that I have been reinstated, I urgently need capable assistants to help me. After all, my energy is limited. If Uncle Wan doesn’t mind, I can offer you more favorable terms to come back. As long as you stand on my side, you will still be the most senior veteran of the Fu Group. I also need a meritorious person like you as my backer.”

Fu Shenyuan bluntly presented his conditions to Wan Luyuan.

Wan Luyuan clearly began to hesitate: "Shen Yuan, your sincerity is evident to your uncle, but... I've already left, so going back wouldn't be appropriate."

Wan Luyuan chuckled after speaking, but he was clearly not as relaxed as before, and the ball he swung went astray.

Wan Luyuan's reaction gave Fu Shenyuan a general idea of ​​what was going on.

If someone who desires power, status, and money refuses such a huge temptation, it means that the things they fear are things that money can't buy.

If money can't smooth things over, then it can probably only be related to something on your neck.

Fu Shenyuan narrowed his eyes, his mind racing through all the possibilities.

Fu Shenyuan wasn't in a hurry despite Wan Luyuan's repeated rejections. He continued playing with him in a relaxed manner. In the blink of an eye, both of them were on the sandpit. At this point, the game was not as easy as before, and both of them had put in a lot more focus.

Fu Shenyuan spoke up again at this moment, saying, "Since you have this concern, Uncle Wan, I won't force you. But have you considered that if I don't come, someone else might come? Uncle Wan, are you really sure that you and your family can always be safe and sound?"

Fu Shenyuan found a good position and angle in the sand bunker, hit the ball again, casually tossed the club to the caddie next to him, and adjusted his wrist strap at the same time.

"Uncle should also understand that we people need to be like golfers, always assessing what kind of course we are in. If we don't think things through, we might end up like you are now."

As soon as Fu Shenyuan finished speaking, Wan Luyuan's shot from the sandpit missed completely.

Wan Luyuan was clearly somewhat flustered; he had this concern before.

"You mean your second uncle won't let me off the hook?" Wan Luyuan asked Fu Shenyuan.

Fu Shenyuan avoided the topic this time.

"Uncle Wan, you can think about it carefully. At a time like this, no one is an outsider."

Wan Luyuan understood that even though he had left the Fu family now, he was still too deeply bound to them, like the roots of a large tree that had spread and grown, and could not be completely eradicated.

Wan Luyuan fell silent, pondering Fu Shenyuan's words, until the game had been going on for two hours, at which point Wan Luyuan ended the game early.

Fu Shenyuan also showed little interest. After the caddie took the clubs, he asked about the location of the ski resort. The site manager said that a shuttle bus would take them there.

Fu Shenyuan, abandoning his previous serious demeanor, invited Wan Luyuan to go to the ski resort to see the children.

Inside the ski resort.

Fu Xingyi has become very close to Mai Mai, and has even taught her some basic skiing skills in a short period of time.

Children don't hold grudges. Once they start playing together, they become good friends, completely losing their previous jealous and petulant behavior.

When Fu Shenyuan entered the ski resort, he saw Jiang Ranxing and Xiao Hui chatting happily on the side, with faint smiles on their faces.

Fu Shenyuan suddenly felt a warmth in his heart.

Seeing his wife and children laughing and playing was such a happy thing; why hadn't he known that before?

Wan Luyuan patted Fu Shenyuan on the shoulder: "What are you thinking about? It's almost noon. Let's have lunch together. The kids are probably hungry too."

Fu Shenyuan nodded: "Mm."

Xiao Hui noticed that the two men had arrived, and gently patted Jiang Ranxing's hand, gesturing for her to look in that direction.

Wan Luyuan said, "Come on, let's take the children to eat. I've had it prepared."

Xiao Hui immediately went to the ski resort to call the two children, but the children, having gotten into the swing of things, were naturally unwilling to leave just like that.

"No, no! I want to play with Yiyi for a while longer, Mom, can you let us play a little longer? This is so much fun!" Mai Mai pouted and pleaded.

Fu Xingyi also pulled Mai Mai along, saying, "Aunt Huihui, we want to play some more. How about we eat later?"

Xiao Hui smiled; she couldn't do anything about her two playful children.

"Okay, let's go eat first, okay? After lunch, we can come back here to play and have fun all afternoon."

Xiao Hui's words finally cheered up the two little ones. Mai Mai pulled Fu Xingyi out of the ski resort, hopping and skipping, looking incredibly cute.

The venue manager, seeing these two exceptionally important young masters, dared not neglect them in the slightest and quickly went to lead the way for them.

Xiao Hui said to Jiang Ranxing, "Let's go get something to eat. This restaurant is pretty good."

Xiao Hui took Jiang Ranxing's arm, and after giving Wan Luyuan a look, the two women left first.

Watching from behind, Wan Luyuan sighed, "Men used to be second in status at home, then third after having children, and if you add a cat or dog, they'd be fourth or fifth. That's really their status."

Fu Shenyuan walked out with Wan Luyuan. He somewhat agreed with Wan Luyuan's words, but also had some questions he wanted to ask him.

"Uncle Wan, what's it like when you and Xiaohui get along?"

As Wan Luyuan stepped out the door, he said with some surprise, "It's just how normal couples get along. There's nothing special about it. We don't have that much passion, and there's a big age gap between us. Fortunately, Xiaohui doesn't mind that I'm sometimes boring, old-fashioned, and older. So, when we get along, we just treat each other with respect and live our lives well."

Fu Shenyuan paused for a moment, then asked, "What does a man need to do to achieve this level?"

Wan Luyuan's eyes flickered, and he realized what Fu Shenyuan was asking.

"So you wanted to learn about the ways of husband and wife from your uncle. What's wrong? Do you and Ranxing have problems too?" Wan Luyuan said, then realized that the two of them had separated once before, so there must be some lingering tension. He also felt that his question was inappropriate. "It's easy, your uncle will explain it to you slowly."

When they got to the restaurant, Jiang Ranxing and Xiao Hui were ordering food with the children.

Xiao Hui asked the two men, and Wan Luyuan replied, "Just order what you like, and include portions for both of us."

Wan Luyuan took two cigarettes from the manager and handed one to Fu Shenyuan.

The two stood on the terrace of the open-plan restaurant, smoke rising slowly. Wan Luyuan took a drag and said, "Speaking of the way of husband and wife, as a husband, protecting and respecting your wife is a must. If you want to enhance your relationship, sometimes you also need to understand your wife's preferences and inner thoughts. Only when you enter her heart and have some kind of resonance with her soul will she be more willing to accept you."

Although Fu Shenyuan had a cigarette between his fingers, he listened to Wan Luyuan talk about these things like a humble and eager student.

In matters of love and marriage, Fu Shenyuan is indeed a complete failure.

Wan Luyuan was not stingy in saying these things.

"You can see what Ranxing usually likes to do and what she is particularly interested in. You should also try to understand her. This way, you will have common topics and it is also a way to communicate your feelings. Being a couple is not just about sex. The compatibility of souls is what women value more."

Fu Shenyuan, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, took a drag and exhaled a plume of white smoke, seemingly having taken in all of Wan Luyuan's words.

Wan Luyuan's cigarette had burned down to almost nothing before he picked it up again and took two more puffs.

"Shen Yuan, if you want to get along well with Ran Xing, you'll have to put in more effort. A woman's heart is a very precious thing; you have to cherish it."

Fu Shenyuan smiled and said, "I've learned a lot, thank you Uncle Wan."

"You're too kind. If Ranxing knew you had this intention, I think he would be closer to you. But looking at the two of you now, there's still no intimate feeling between you two."

Fu Shenyuan's eyes darkened slightly: "If only that were the case."

He had tried almost every method he could think of, but Jiang Ranxing wouldn't give him a smile or a glimmer of hope.

There are times when Fu Shenyuan can't hold on any longer, even in the dead of night. But he can't fall down or give up. Right now, he's the only one holding on tightly to them. If he lets go, it will truly be over between them.

The road to bringing Jiang Ranxing back is difficult and arduous, but he must not give up.

After the restaurant waiter brought over deodorizing spray to clean up the odor for the two of them, they returned to the table. By then, the waiters had already started serving the dishes. Fu Xingyi and Mai Mai were chatting happily about children's topics when they saw Fu Shenyuan and Wan Luyuan coming over. The two children greeted them very politely.

Hello, Uncle Wan!

"Hello, Uncle Shen Yuan!"

Wan Luyuan affectionately touched Fu Xingyi's little face, while Fu Shenyuan smiled kindly at Mai Mai.

Fu Shenyuan and Wan Luyuan sat down next to Jiang Ranxing and Xiao Hui respectively.

Xiao Hui and Wan Luyuan were naturally close, while Jiang Ranxing and Fu Shenyuan always kept a certain distance from each other, and the unspeakable coldness between them could not be dispelled.

Fu Shenyuan wanted to get closer to Jiang Ranxing, so he picked up a piece of cabbage and placed it in front of her.

Jiang Ranxing looked at Fu Shenyuan with a puzzled expression, as if she had seen something very strange.

Fu Shenyuan was a little embarrassed at first, then laughed and said in a relaxed manner, "You like cabbage, right? Try it."

Because Xiao Hui and Wan Luyuan were present, Jiang Ranxing didn't say anything to refute Fu Shenyuan, nor did she touch the dishes that Fu Shenyuan had picked up. Instead, she picked up other dishes and ate them herself.

Fu Shenyuan's lips stiffened slightly, but he could only pretend that nothing had happened.

Wan Luyuan and Xiao Hui also noticed the two's actions. Wan Luyuan smoothed things over, saying, "Ranxing, Shen Yuan was just talking to me about wanting to know your preferences. He's just a workaholic and not that thoughtful. Sometimes you have to be understanding, right? By the way, Ranxing, what do you usually like to do? Let Shen Yuan know more about you."

As Jiang Ranxing listened to Wan Luyuan speak, she turned to look at Fu Shenyuan, wondering for a moment what Fu Shenyuan was trying to tell her.

Fu Shenyuan simply smiled faintly at her.

Jiang Ranxing scoffed lightly, not intending to follow Wan Luyuan's lead.

"Uncle Wan, our previous marriages lasted for six years, and he still doesn't know what I like. Now he wants to say he understands me. Don't you think that's ironic?"

Jiang Ranxing made it clear that she didn't intend to give Fu Shenyuan any face at all; in fact, she didn't need to compromise or smooth things over in this matter.

They're not here to discuss any emotional issues.

Now it was Wan Luyuan's turn to feel awkward, as he hadn't expected Jiang Ranxing to show him no respect at all.

However, Wan Luyuan had seen all kinds of people, and he recovered quickly. He continued to smile and say, "Burning Star's straightforward personality is really good. He doesn't hide anything from you and makes you guess. Shen Yuan, you've really struck gold with him. You two should just speak frankly and openly. Isn't that great?"

Fu Shenyuan paused, then said with a somewhat bleak smile, "Uncle is right."

Fu Shenyuan silently turned to look at Jiang Ranxing. She seemed completely unaffected, continuing with her usual activities and eating with her usual elegant and slow manner.

On the other hand, he himself was already in a state of confusion because of Jiang Ranxing's words.

He had been completely open with Jiang Ranxing, and it was precisely because they always spoke their minds that he knew Jiang Ranxing's attitude even more clearly—that she had absolutely no interest in him now.

It is precisely because I know this so clearly that I feel even more distressed.

Fu Shenyuan thought that if anyone had a way to win Jiang Ranxing back, he would be willing to exchange everything he had for it.

Unfortunately, no one could give him this solution, so he could only keep crashing into things until he was bleeding from head wounds and covered in bruises.

After addressing these relationship issues, the group chatted about other trivial matters during the meal, which made things much more harmonious.

After lunch, Fu Xingyi and Mai Mai went to the ski resort, accompanied by Jiang Ranxing and Xiao Hui. The two children were taken home separately after they were tired from playing in the evening.

After returning to the villa, the nanny took Fu Xingyi back to his room to shower and rest.

When Jiang Ranxing was about to return to her room, Fu Shenyuan stopped her.

Fu Shenyuan said, "Let's go to the study to talk. I got some information from Wan Luyuan today, and I think you should know it too."

Upon hearing that it was important, Jiang Ranxing didn't refuse: "Let's go."

In the study, Jiang Ranxing sat down on the sofa by the window, crossed her legs, and leaned back on the sofa, feeling tired from going out today.

She leaned back on the sofa, gradually relaxing, ready to hear what Fu Shenyuan had to say.

However, she didn't hear Fu Shenyuan speak for a long time. When she was about to open her eyes to ask him, she felt a gentle touch on her forehead.

Fu Shenyuan reached out from behind the sofa and gently massaged her temples with his middle fingers, the pressure just right, neither too light nor too heavy, making her feel comfortable.

Jiang Ranxing suddenly opened her eyes and tried to sit up, but Fu Shenyuan pressed her back down onto the sofa with one hand on her shoulder.

"Let me serve you for a bit, it's my choice, okay?" Fu Shenyuan asked, but his hands didn't stop moving at all.

Jiang Ranxing felt as if she had seen a ghost. She was clearly not used to Fu Shenyuan's gentle treatment, nor did she like it that much.

Fu Shenyuan seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and he was neither angry nor annoyed.

“I’ll pay you back what I owe you slowly,” Fu Shenyuan’s tone became much lower and more mellow. “You used to give me massages to relax.”

Jiang Ranxing's eyes darted around, completely unable to recall when she had ever done these things for Fu Shenyuan.

"Sorry, I've forgotten all about it. Please move aside." Jiang Ranxing said indifferently.

Fu Shenyuan didn't let go. He still gently pressed down on her shoulder with one hand and massaged her temples with the other, just like Jiang Ranxing used to do for him.

Fu Shenyuan lowered his body slightly, his lips almost touching Jiang Ranxing's earlobe. His warm breath spread evenly over Jiang Ranxing's fair skin, causing Jiang Ranxing's body to tremble slightly.

Fu Shenyuan's lips curled up, and he whispered very softly in her ear, "It's okay, I'll slowly help you remember what you've forgotten."

From this angle, Fu Shenyuan could see Jiang Ranxing's delicate and beautiful profile and her luscious red lips. This face made his heart surge, and all the blood rushed to his head in an instant, giving him an impulse.

Fu Shenyuan moved closer and murmured, "As long as we stay together, you will remember."
