Chapter 264 I just want to be with you

Fu Shenyuan spoke earnestly, his eyes filled with longing and desire.

Jiang Ranxing turned to look at him, momentarily unsure if this was reality.

It's unbelievable to see a privileged individual, standing at a high position and seemingly unshakeable, pleading like this for a so-called opportunity to stay by someone's side.

Jiang Ranxing said, "You'll regret trading something so important for me, Fu Shenyuan."

"I won't regret it," Fu Shenyuan said firmly. "I won't regret it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ranxing laughed, but his laughter was full of unfathomable things.

"You're just feeling resentful because I keep rejecting you. If I had agreed from the beginning, you wouldn't be so upset now. It's the same with many things in business, isn't it?"

"Even if I grant your request now, what about the future? Once you actually get it, you won't cherish it anymore, just like you did before. I've been by your side for six years, and you've never thought of appreciating it. Instead, you started to feel unbalanced after I left. But let me tell you, not everyone is obligated to wait for you in the same place. Don't take yourself too seriously."

Jiang Ranxing smiled and said, "You're not so important that I can't bear to part with you."

The flame that had been burning in his heart was suddenly extinguished. Fu Shenyuan did not feel angry or jumping up and down because of this rational analysis. On the contrary, he only felt the pain and sorrow of his heart being gnawed at.

"In your eyes, am I just a cold-hearted person who weighs the pros and cons?" Fu Shenyuan asked, his eyes filled with sorrow. "Have you never believed that I could do anything for someone?"

Jiang Ranxing's face was almost expressionless; she simply stared at him and then nodded: "Yes, I never believed you."

With a silent, bitter laugh, Fu Shenyuan lowered his eyes, trying to suppress the heartache and helplessness he felt at that moment.

Jiang Ranxing felt a moment of pity when she saw him, but it was quickly dispelled by reason.

Never believe a man's vulnerability when he is not satisfied; it's most likely an act.

Moreover, Fu Shenyuan's current situation is entirely of his own making, and he doesn't deserve any sympathy at all.

Jiang Ranxing was also tired of verbal abuse, and she could now talk to Fu Shenyuan about these things calmly.

"To tell you the truth, you have never been a part of my future. I have never even considered you. What you want is not something you can get from me."

Fu Shenyuan didn't raise his head for a long time. Jiang Ranxing didn't have anything to say either, so she stood up and wanted to leave. But just as she was about to leave, Fu Shenyuan grabbed her arm.

"What I've always wanted has always been with you."

The force on her arm was immense, with veins bulging. Jiang Ranxing's arm ached from the grip. The slightest movement only resulted in an even stronger pull, causing her to lose her balance and fall back onto the bench.

The expected impact and pain did not come; the arm on her lower back shielded her from all the shock.

"What are you trying to do!" Jiang Ranxing's expression was not good, which made Fu Shenyuan feel alarmed.

"I just want to have a proper talk with you about what's between us."

"Haven't we already finished talking? What else is there to say?" Jiang Ranxing rolled her eyes at him, and Fu Shenyuan could clearly see a hint of disgust flash across her face.

Fu Shenyuan disagreed with her statement: "We haven't finished talking. If you don't have me in your future plans, then we haven't finished talking."

Jiang Ranxing was furious: "Fu Shenyuan, you are a dignified group president, you can have anything you want, you can have any kind of woman you want, they would all line up to follow you, why did you come here to ask for something, to ask to be disliked?"

"Why don't you go find your Lin Xuesha? Isn't she the most important person in your life? It just so happens that you two are in love. I can even smile and wish you a long and happy marriage right now. Stop bothering me, okay?"

"I don't love her! I love you!" With a sudden force, Fu Shenyuan pulled her in front of him, the scorching air blowing against her ear, swirling around her like a threat.

Jiang Ranxing struggled free and kept her distance from Fu Shenyuan.

"Does loving me mean I have to accept you? Who says that?!"

The peace between the two was broken once again, and they both felt a distance between each other.

Ultimately, they were unable to sit down and have a proper conversation. The rift between them and their differing views would always stand between them, and neither of them was willing to compromise, so they could not come together.

Fu Shenyuan took her hand, wiped his face, looked at her seriously, and said, "Ranxing, let's not fight anymore, okay? I don't want to argue with you at all. I just want to stay by your side and live a good life together."

"How many times do I have to say it? I don't want you, not even a little bit. If you really love me, can you just let me go? Let's part amicably. Why make things worse so that we end up hating each other even more?"

Fu Shenyuan stubbornly shook his head: "No, I can agree to anything you ask, but I cannot agree to this one thing."

“Then we have nothing more to say,” Jiang Ranxing said, ignoring the burning in his eyes, and pulled away from his hand. “You stick to your opinion, and I stick to mine. That’s it.”

She didn't need to insist that Fu Shenyuan change his mind and let her go.

After everything is over, she will leave directly. At that time, love and hate will be left behind. As for Fu Shenyuan, let him be persistent if he wants to; she can't control him.

Watching Jiang Ranxing walk away, Fu Shenyuan's eyes were filled with regret and remorse.

The person who once so desperately wanted to stay by his side is now someone he can't keep no matter what he does. He doesn't know if it's just fate playing tricks on him or if it's simply destiny.

After playing for a few hours, Jiang Ranxing saw Wan Luyuan and Xiao Hui returning with their two children on the amusement park's sightseeing bus.

"Mom, have you and Dad been waiting for a long time?" Fu Xingyi ran to Jiang Ranxing's side after getting out of the car.

"Fortunately, it didn't take long." Jiang Ranxing shook his head.

Fu Shenyuan patted Fu Xingyi's head and asked, "How was it? Did you have fun?"

"Yes, I'm very happy," Fu Xingyi said with a smile. "It's just that Brother Mai Mai is going abroad with Aunt Xiao Hui, and I probably won't see him for a long time. I'm a little reluctant to see him go."

Mai Mai walked over, took Fu Xingyi's little hand, and said, "Little brother Yiyi, if you have time, come and travel abroad too. By then, Mom and I will be familiar with foreign countries and can be your tour guide."

"Oh right, Aunt Ranxing used to live there, so she should be quite familiar with it."

Fu Xingyi was somewhat tempted by what he heard, and turned to look at Jiang Ranxing: "Mom, can you take me abroad? I've never been to Country C before. Can you take me there for a trip?"

Jiang Ranxing just smiled and said, "Let's talk about it another time."

"Stop bothering your mother, she has a lot of work to do, be good."

Fu Shenyuan spoke up from the side, helping Jiang Ranxing out of the predicament. He also privately messaged Jiang Ranxing, hoping she wouldn't go back to Country C, to the place where she and Wen Qing had lived alone together.

Fu Xingyi pouted and said somewhat discontentedly, "No, I want Mom to take me. Mom loves me the most, she will definitely be willing to take me."

Jiang Ranxing smiled without saying a word.

After leaving the amusement park, the adults from both families took their children to a restaurant for a meal before parting ways and returning home.

"Mom, will you come home with me tonight? I miss you." Fu Xingyi rubbed against Jiang Ranxing's arm, wanting her to agree to his request.

Fu Shenyuan said, "Ranxing, come back and stay here. It will make it easier for me to take care of you."

Just as Jiang Ranxing was about to refuse, Fu Shenyuan's phone rang.

Fu Shenyuan was still waiting for her answer, but his expression changed drastically when he took the phone.

"What? What did you say?"
