Chapter 303: Seeking Within, For Enduring Life
Chapter 303: Seeking Within, For Endless Vitality
Meng Qinghe was genuinely moved.
Towards the end, he spoke quickly and urgently, his rising tone full of accusation.
No one has ever questioned Fu Yanjing like this before.
But Fu Yanjing didn't feel angry. In an instant, he felt a sense of relief, as if he had suddenly realized something, and even wanted to laugh.
He suddenly realized how ridiculous it was that he had acted as if Meng Qinghe was facing a formidable enemy.
Because no matter what happens, Wen Jin will never choose him.
Meng Qinghe heard Fu Yanjing chuckle.
“Mr. Meng, as Jin Ye’s psychologist, you don’t seem to understand Jin Ye at all.”
"What do you mean?"
Fu Yanjing's voice was clear and crisp, without any anger or displeasure. Yet, it was precisely this composure, this complete control of everything, that made Meng Qinghe feel uncontrollably embarrassed.
"Jin doesn't like the special rules imposed on her. What she wants to prove is her own value, not how high a position she sits in. My existence is to ensure that no bad special rules are imposed on her."
“Her path won’t be difficult.” Fu Yanjing’s voice was steady. “She can stumble and fall as she pleases, and I will support her from now on.”
But Wen Jinye will not be deprived of her right to wrestle.
She only harbored a stoic mentality, preferring to avoid trouble, because of the unpleasant memories of living under someone else's roof in the past.
But it is not a parasitic plant that only clings to people.
His all-knowing words made Meng Qinghe seem like a clown jumping around.
Meng Qinghe was speechless.
It was at this moment that I suddenly understood.
Why did Wen Jin still fall in love with Fu Yanjing after all the twists and turns, and ultimately choose Fu Yanjing?
She never truly let go.
Secondly—
Beneath Fu Yanjing's arrogant and aloof demeanor, he indeed possesses a personal charm that ordinary people lack.
Meng Qinghe's arrogance vanished completely.
This time, they truly and obediently retreated to the position of losers.
"Mr. Fu, I concede defeat."
Fu Yanjing accepted the defeat with neither arrogance nor servility, saying, "You have no need to feel inferior for losing to me."
Meng Qinghe: ...
*
Wen Jin woke up shortly after the phone call ended.
The heavy curtains were completely sealed off, with only the dim, twilight lamp on the bedside table lit.
Wen Jinye's eyes didn't need to adjust to the light, but they had to overcome the heaviness of being half-awake. It took a while for Fu Yanjing's face to become clear in her pupils.
I was half asleep and half awake when I vaguely heard Fu Yanjing talking on the phone.
But Wen Jin was so sleepy that she closed her eyes and ears at the same time.
Unsure if it was a dream, the person asked in a daze, "Did someone call you just now?"
Fu Yanjing sat on the edge of the bed and leaned down to kiss Wen Jinye's forehead. "It wasn't for me, it was for you."
"Um?"
Fu Yanjing's kiss landed on Wen Jinye's neck. "It was a call from Meng Qinghe."
"Huh?" This time the voice was much clearer.
Fu Yanjing chuckled in exasperation, his tone almost accusing, "What's wrong? You instantly sobered up the moment you heard his name?"
Wen Jin's voice also carried a hint of annoyance, but more so, it was filled with shame.
She grabbed Fu Yanjing's hand, which had lingered on the blanket, from under the covers, "It's all your fault..."
"I'm sorry." His voice had a hint of pleasure, but there was no trace of remorse.
Wen Jin also asked, "What did he say on the phone?"
"I care about you." Fu Yanjing paused for a moment, "and incidentally, I was given a little criticism."
He knew Wen Jinye's body too well; a few flicks of his fingers were enough to make Wen Jinye feel weak all over.
But upon hearing this, the confusion in Wen Jin's eyes dissipated like mist in the wind. "How could he criticize you? If he said something unpleasant, don't take it to heart. Isn't there some misunderstanding?"
Fu Yanjing didn't realize for a moment that Wen Jin was also protecting someone.
Fu Yanjing said, half-jokingly, "He said I'm not good enough, that I don't love you enough."
How can you say that?
This time, Fu Yanjing realized that Wen Jin was also protecting him.
But friends are equally important to Wen Jin.
Especially during Wen Jin's darkest times, she would solemnly remember those who had given her a glimmer of light.
Therefore, Wen Jin instantly became a master of impartiality.
She put her arms around Fu Yanjing's neck.
She was always shy about these things, like a polite rogue.
This time, he was much more proactive, pecking at Fu Yanjing's cheek like a woodpecker, and soothingly said, "He must have misunderstood you. He doesn't know the whole story. I'll call him in a bit and stand up for you! But please, don't hold a grudge."
The thought of Wen Jinye calling Meng Qinghe made Fu Yanjing's broad figure block Wen Jinye's view. Taking advantage of his long arms and hands, he temporarily stuffed Wen Jinye's phone under the other pillow.
"No need, how could I let it affect your friendship?"
If Wen Jin hadn't unconsciously emphasized the word "friendship," she would have truly believed Fu Yanjing's generosity.
He can now easily feign grievance, saying things like, "He's only doing it for your own good. It's nothing for me to be criticized a few times."
Wen Jin chuckled, seeing right through him, "Fu Yanjing, you've become a master of green tea now."
However, despite the jokes, Wen Jin still felt somewhat guilty.
She could hardly imagine what it would be like for someone as refined as Meng Qinghe to question Fu Yanjing.
After all, in Wen Jinye's memory, Meng Qinghe had always been a gentle and kind man.
However, Fu Yanjing should not be subjected to such criticism at present.
“They were completely on my side and understood my struggles and pain. Many things may have been half right and half wrong, but once they put on the filter of love, they saw me as the innocent party. So, if you were questioned by him because of me, I admit that I was also at fault.”
"But I will make things clear to Meng Qinghe."
She pouted slightly and said, "Sorry~"
Just that one sentence made Fu Yanjing's ears melt.
Don't say you didn't suffer any losses.
Fu Yanjing thought to himself with a sense of pride that even if he really suffered a loss, it would be worth it.
“I was really bad in the past. It was my family environment that made me like this; no one taught me how to love others.”
His world is filled with money and power.
If you don't stand tall and proud, you'll be trampled underfoot by those in positions of power.
Such a world is both beautiful and cruel.
Wen Jin had long since given up on hearing Fu Yanjing's apology.
It's all in the past.
Since you've decided to let go, you shouldn't pay the price for past pain with your current happiness.
Wen Jin's thoughts were drawn out, and she said, "I was wrong too."
Fu Yanjing thought that reporter Wen, who had an extremely sensitive and delicate heart, was going to use her talent again, excessively empathizing with others and reflecting on herself.
Just as I was about to interrupt, I heard the woman say confidently and with great self-assurance:
"My mistake was underestimating myself in the past, which led to suppressing my feelings. But now that you've done some things poorly, I won't tolerate it anymore!"
This relationship taught Wen Jin a lot.
She has been growing.
Wen Jin also came to understand the truth.
"Seeking it externally, one cannot obtain it."
"Look inward, and life will never cease."
"I don't want to be afraid anymore that one day you won't love me anymore. When will you tell me you want to break up? That way, I won't be able to enjoy the present. Your love for me now is more important than anything else."
Fu Yanjing was originally very happy that she could open up to him and say these things.
But as I listened, something didn't quite feel right.
Why does it sound like a "be" in my ears?
He silenced Wen Jinye's incessantly chattering soft lips at just the right moment.
Warm breaths mingled.
His voice floated out from between his lips.
"We will never be apart again."
