Chapter 215 Departure, Heading to Kyoto

Murong Ting continued, "Wanwan, I wasn't there when you gave birth to the children, I wasn't there when the children were sick, and I wasn't there when you ventured alone into a foreign land. I'm a bastard, and it's only right that you don't forgive me..."

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, holding Kong Wange tightly and refusing to let go: "But Wanwan, can you please not send me away? We've already missed six years, and I really don't want to miss out any more. You don't have to forgive me, but at least let me stay by your side, be good to you, and give me a chance to make up for the mistakes I made back then..."

His voice trembled, filled with the relief of having found what he had lost and the fear of being abandoned again.

Kong Wange sighed, her emotions gradually calming down, and said, "Murong Ting, let me go first."

Murong Ting remained silent and did not let go.

"Murong Ting, let go, I believe what you say."

"Really?" Murong Ting's eyes lit up with joy, and he quickly released her.

Kong Wange's wrist was slightly red from being gripped too tightly.

Seeing this, Murong Ting lowered his head guiltily and took her hand, saying, "Let me rub it for you."

Kong Wange withdrew her hand and shook her head, saying, "No need."

She leaned back in her chair and looked at Murong Ting with an unprecedented clarity in her eyes: "Murong Ting, I'm not a sentimental or unreasonable person. Since you haven't received the letter, let's put the past aside for now and talk about the present. You keep saying you want my forgiveness and want to stay with me. Have you really thought this through?"

Murong Ting quickly looked up: "Wanwan, what's there to think about? My feelings for you... have never changed."

Kong Wange sighed: "Then why did you like me when I was Wen Yan, but when I became Kong Wange, you treated me coldly and wished I could stay as far away from you as possible?"

Murong Ting fell silent, unsure how to respond.

Kong Wange continued, "Let's look at it from another angle. Actually, whether it's Wen Yan or Kong Wange, both of them are me. I've never changed. And you? Are you sure that the person you like isn't Wen Yan, who took care of you when you were most helpless and made you feel a filter in your heart, but really me?"

That one sentence completely stumped Murong Ting; he couldn't understand why a woman would think that way.

He subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

After a long pause, she murmured, "Wanwan, what's the difference? Aren't you Yanyan, and isn't Yanyan you?"

Kong Wange shook her head and stood up: "Murong Ting, things have come to this point, and we can't withstand any more turmoil. I'm really tired right now, and I need some peace and quiet. I hope you can also go back and think about your feelings. Let's both calm down for a while."

After saying that, she pushed the man out.

Seeing the door slam shut, Murong Ting stood there, his voice hoarse.

“Wanwan, I don’t need to calm down. I’ve thought it through very clearly. I admit that I was confused before because I didn’t know your identity, and I was conflicted. But now I’m 100% sure that I like you as a person! I know that it will be hard for you to accept the truth if I tell you the truth abruptly, but I hope you can give me another chance. If you have any concerns, we can start as friends until the day you forgive me.”

He was met with silence in the room.

Murong Ting leaned against the door frame and said gently, "Wanwan, if you don't say anything, I'll take that as your agreement. It's getting late, so I won't bother you anymore. Go to sleep early. I'll have Lin Cheng arrange the trip to Kyoto, and I'll also talk to Grandpa."

Hearing the man's footsteps recede into the distance, Kong Wange irritably covered her head with the blanket.

She's received so much information today, all she wants is to get a good night's sleep and leave everything for tomorrow.

...

The next morning, after washing up, Kong Wange briefly told the three little ones about her trip to Kyoto.

When the three little ones heard that they were going to a big city, they showed no resistance and were all very happy.

Kong Wange was relieved and sent someone to complete the transfer procedures for the three children. She also entrusted the affairs of the clinic to Uncle Zhang.

Once everything was ready, on the morning of her departure, she received other belongings left by her mother in the Kong family.

In order to pay off their debts, the Kong family put their villa property up for sale and moved away.

As for where she moved to and how she was doing, she didn't bother to find out anymore.

From now on, she has absolutely no connection with this family.

With a mix of relief and heaviness in her heart, Kong Wange reluctantly bid farewell to Murong Yuan, along with the children.

The family of five embarked on their journey to Kyoto.

...

The flight from Jiangcheng to Kyoto takes four hours.

As soon as the plane landed, Murong Chen excitedly shouted, "Kyoto, here I come!"

Once outside the airport, he became incredibly talkative.

"Mommy, I love Kyoto so much! Daddy, I haven't seen my aunties in so long, I miss them so much!"

Murong Ting and Kong Wange walked ahead, pulling their suitcases along. Upon hearing this, they turned around perfunctorily, revealing charming smiles reminiscent of a kind mother and a strict father.

Murong Chen found it boring and turned to the two little ones beside him, saying, "Brother Chi, Sister Ran, Kyoto is much more interesting than Jiangcheng. There's a huge Universal Studios amusement park there, and the roller coasters are really exciting. We definitely have to go and ride it sometime!"

Kong Chi seized on the key point: "Xiao Chen, don't think about playing yet. Who is this aunt you just mentioned?"

Murong Chen's little face was full of pride: "Brother Chi, I forgot, you and Sister Ran don't know yet, Daddy has four dear aunts in Kyoto, and they are all super nice people!"

Kong Ran wasn't interested in anything about her aunt, but instead clung to the roller coaster: "Little Chenchen, is the roller coaster at Kyoto Amusement Park as long as the one we went to last time?"

"Absolutely! The roller coaster we rode last time was only three minutes long, but the roller coaster at Kyoto amusement park can be ridden for five minutes!"

"Wow, that sounds so exciting! I can't wait! I just don't know if Mommy will have time to take us..."

Upon hearing Kong Ran's words, Murong Ting immediately turned around and said gently, "Your mommy will be quite busy then. If you want to play, Daddy will accompany you."

Kong Ran: "?!"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Murong Ting frowned: "What, you don't believe Daddy? After the last training, Daddy is no longer afraid of heights!"

Kong Ran rolled her eyes: "No, Uncle Scum, it's just that you've been a little too concerned about me these past few days, and I'm a little scared..."

Murong Ting felt guilty, thinking back to his previous cold treatment of Kong Ran: "Ranran, I'm sorry. Daddy was confused before. From now on, tell Daddy what you want, and Daddy will satisfy you. So, can you forgive Daddy and stop calling me Uncle Scumbag? Can you call me Daddy instead?"

Kong Ran stiffened, pouted, and immediately refused: "No way! You wouldn't let me call you Daddy before, what's this now? Let me tell you, you used to ignore me when I was your little darling, but now you can't afford to be my little darling anymore, hmph, you scumbag uncle!"
