After mentally preparing herself, Jiang Wanning looked at Fu Chenyuan.
The impact was just too strong.
Fu Chenyuan has a great physique; he looks slim in clothes but muscular when undressed.
Jiang Wanning grabbed Fu Chenyuan's arm, and Fu Chenyuan turned around very cooperatively.
She had caught a glimpse of Fu Chenyuan's back before, but now, seeing him again, Jiang Wanning's pupils suddenly contracted.
The scars on it are truly shocking, making it hard to imagine the hellish suffering and pain that Xiao Chenyuan, who was just a child back then, went through.
Touching it is one thing, but seeing it with her own eyes really broke Jiang Wanning's heart.
Her fingertips trembled as she touched it.
Fu Chenyuan's body trembled slightly.
"Ah Yuan, does it still hurt?"
Fu Chenyuan picked up the clothes and put them on, covering up the hideous scars.
He didn't want Jiang Wanning to feel sorry for him before, so he didn't get the scar removal surgery, but now he wants to.
He didn't want Jiang Wanning to feel heartache anymore.
From now on, Jiang Wanning can live a life of luxury by his side.
Fu Chenyuan lowered his head and wiped away Jiang Wanning's tears. He sighed helplessly, but his voice was full of affection: "You said you wouldn't cry, but look, you're shedding tears again. I've grown up. Taking you to see that doctor that time meant I've moved on. Don't cry anymore, okay? I'll go get surgery to remove the scar."
Jiang Wanning burst into laughter through her tears: "Really?"
Fu Chenyuan's willingness to undergo this surgery means that he is willing to let go of the past.
Fu Chenyuan always remembered what he had done in the past.
Jiang Wanning only wishes for Fu Chenyuan's future health, peace, and happiness.
"Mmm." Fu Chenyuan pulled Jiang Wanning into his arms. "Don't cry, okay?"
When she cried, he felt as if her heart had broken.
As if remembering something, Fu Chenyuan lowered his head and placed delicate kisses on Jiang Wanning's eyebrows and eyes.
"Back then, I watched you from afar. You smiled so much, it was as if the sunshine was hidden in your eyes and your smile. I thought you must be very happy, you were clearly a good girl living in the sunshine. If I had gotten close to you, my heart was so dark and rotten, I would have definitely tainted you. If you had shed tears back then, I would have been unable to resist getting closer to you. Since you are unhappy, then being with me, maybe two negatives make a positive."
Fu Chenyuan sighed: "Who would have thought that the Zhao family didn't treat you well? Why are you smiling so brightly, as if no gloom can affect you?"
If, had he seen Jiang Wanning shed even a single tear back then, he wouldn't have kept watching so cautiously, suppressing himself despite his deep longing for her.
This was the first time Jiang Wanning had heard Fu Chenyuan analyze his inner thoughts in such a way.
"No, Ayuan, you're not dark or rotten. It's all just people talking nonsense. You're good, you're very good. Besides, there are no truly good or bad people in the world. Everyone has dark moments, it just depends on whether we can hold onto our true selves. In my heart, you are the best person in the whole world to me, even better than my parents."
He made no demands of her and accepted her as she was.
“Besides,” Jiang Wanning smiled playfully, quite relaxed, “people who smile a lot are usually lucky. Look, I smile so much, and that’s how I met you.”
Fu Chenyuan was taken aback.
So, is this why Xiao Wan Ning was still able to reach out to him even though she was treated unfairly by Zhao's parents?
No, he was just lucky to meet her.
Unable to contain his emotions, Fu Chenyuan kissed him again.
Jiang Wanning's bath towel had been lifted by him without her noticing.
Jiang Wanning shrank back a little. No matter how gentle Fu Chenyuan was, she was bound to suffer a bit the first time.
Moreover, Fu Chenyuan seemed to never get tired.
Sensing that Fu Chenyuan was moved, Jiang Wanning felt as if her heart had been split in two.
Half of it is about wanting to, and half is about not wanting to.
My body doesn't want to, but my mind does.
Jiang Wanning decided to follow her heart.
She reached out and hugged Fu Chenyuan's waist, her eyes becoming somewhat hazy.
She called out softly, "A-Yuan, I like you, I like you so much..."
This was the first time Jiang Wanning had so proactively and enthusiastically expressed her feelings, and it was in such a setting. The longer Fu Chenyuan had suppressed his feelings, the more severe the backlash would be.
He had promised to be gentle and restrained so as not to frighten Jiang Wan Ning, but now all of that was forgotten.
Jiang Wanning added indulgence: "A-Yuan, you don't need to be so careful. I'm not that fragile. Really."
As Jiang Wanning, who wasn't so fragile, drifted into a deep sleep, she thought to herself, "I've really been proven wrong."
So it turns out that all those flags you set are bound to be overturned.
Jiang Wanning seemed to be in some discomfort in her dream, whimpering softly, with tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes, her long eyelashes dampened.
Fu Chenyuan left only a dim lamp, enough to see Jiang Wanning clearly, but not too bright.
He wouldn't be comfortable if it was too bright, and he wasn't too happy if the lights were completely off and he couldn't see her.
Besides, Jiang Wanning had already seen all his scars, so there was nothing he wouldn't dare let her see.
Fu Chenyuan lowered his head and kissed away the moisture from Jiang Wanning's eyes, then gently held her hand.
After being pampered for a while, Jiang Wanning's hands have become much softer.
The fingers, which have been holding paintbrushes for a long time, have developed thin calluses.
Fu Chenyuan kissed Jiang Wanning's fingers one by one.
Jiang Wanning felt a slight itch on her fingers and unconsciously smiled in her sleep, but she couldn't wake up.

When Su Zhihan returned home, she felt a little regretful.
But if she didn't leave Gu Lingyang's house soon, she was afraid she would become greedy.
She suddenly had an idea: she wanted to be the one who could reach for the stars!
To pluck that shining star, you must become a star yourself, and your brilliance must be no less than that of the star!
But how can she become a shining star?
Starting as an assistant and then becoming Gu Lingyang's manager, is that enough?
Su Zhihan asked herself this question, and she heard her own answer: it wasn't enough.
Su Zhihan suddenly felt envious of Jiang Wanning again, as Jiang Wanning had always had a very clear understanding of her future.
Initially, I planned to graduate, find a job to support myself, leave my family of origin, and then pursue my dreams.
She was just a fangirl who wanted to get closer to her idols, so she decided to enter the entertainment industry and become a top agent.
But tonight, Su Zhihan clearly realized the gap between herself and Gu Lingyang, and for the first time felt lost.
She used to think that being Gu Lingyang's personal assistant, available 24/7, was already a blessing, but now she feels that this is not happiness.
To others, she was just a junior assistant who could be replaced at any time by Gu Lingyang.
"Ugh, so annoying!" Su Zhihan collapsed onto the sofa and punched it a few times.
