Chapter 287 Come Home With Me
After the two left the Fu family's old house, Fu Shenyuan suggested, "Come home with me tonight, and we'll go to the banquet together tomorrow. During the day, I'll show you the background and connections of the charity foundation."
Jiang Ranxing thought for a moment and nodded. If he wanted to take over the foundation, he really needed to do his homework. Tomorrow's banquet would be a rare opportunity.
Fu Shenyuan clearly felt a surge of joy in his chest because of Jiang Ranxing's agreement.
He was overjoyed to be home with his wife.
"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you when we get home. I told you last time that I learned how to make soup. Do you want to try it?"
Fu Shenyuan kept his eyes on the road ahead while driving, and spoke to Jiang Ranxing with a smile on his face.
"Yiyi tried it and said it tasted pretty good, and Mom will like it."
Jiang Ranxing calmly turned around and looked at Fu Shenyuan's profile. For a moment, she felt a strange dissatisfaction in her heart.
"Didn't you let your Lin Xuesha try it? Why do you keep making me try it?"
Fu Shenyuan still had a smile on his lips as he said, "My wife likes to drink soup, so I learned how to make it especially for her. Why should I let others try it?"
Seemingly not understanding, Fu Shenyuan answered both crisply and directly.
Jiang Ranxing couldn't help but chuckle helplessly: "Who's your wife? Fu Shenyuan, can't you be clear about the situation? Do you think our divorce certificate is just a game?"
“No, I know we got our marriage certificate,” Fu Shenyuan said as the red light flashed and he slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a smooth and stable stop. “That piece of paper means nothing. In my heart, my wife will only ever be you.”
Jiang Ranxing scoffed, "You certainly have a good imagination. What if I remarry? Do you think I'd still be your wife?"
“If you remarry, you will only marry me again, and of course you will be my wife. Speaking of which, when we got married, the wedding was rushed, and I didn’t prepare many things for you. Next time, I will definitely do everything myself and make up for it for you double.”
"Alright, you're getting more and more outrageous," Jiang Ranxing stopped him from continuing to fantasize about these impossible things. "Don't you understand the situation between us? Can we still get married again? Those things from the past don't just disappear because I forgot them. Someone always remembers them. Maybe I'll remember them one day. Who knows? Thinking about these things is just nonsense. What's the point?"
Jiang Ranxing could feel the tension in her voice; she couldn't stand Fu Shenyuan's constant behavior.
Fu Shenyuan was stunned for a moment, then a bitter feeling spread through his eyes, and finally he let out a short, trembling sigh.
"Burning Star, you can't shatter my illusions of happiness. I know that we can't go back to the way things are now, but if I don't think about those beautiful things, like when you were still by my side and the three of us were living happily together, how can I get through the days without you?"
“I know you don’t understand why I’m so persistent about you. Just like those six years when you were still by my side, I didn’t understand either. But that was only because you were always there for me. It’s like a poisoned person always having an antidote by their side. They don’t even realize they’re poisoned, and sometimes they even despise the antidote until it’s gone, and then they realize how serious their illness is.”
The bitterness that comes after the fact is the bitterest to suffer.
Jiang Ranxing was silent for a while, and then said something in a low voice.
"Just because you've realized it and you regret it, does that mean I'm obligated to cooperate with you? Fu Shenyuan, the world doesn't revolve around you."
Fu Shenyuan raised the corners of his lips, but there was clearly no love in his eyes.
"I know I want your forgiveness, but I won't force you to do anything. I will wait until you truly want to be with me. You can blame me or whatever, I will wait for you to forgive me for the rest of my life."
Jiang Ranxing seemed unconcerned: "I don't think this is feasible, but if you insist, I have no right to stop you. Do as you please."
Fu Shenyuan glanced at her with a hint of helplessness.
It always seems like this between them. No matter what the conversation is, if they talk a little longer, they will eventually fall into a state of silence. It seems that just a few extra words will not elicit a good reaction from them.
When Jiang Ranxing was with Wen Qingrang, he not only talked a lot, but also smiled from time to time.
Nothing could be more disheartening than this comparison.
But Fu Shenyuan couldn't say anything. If he said anything wrong that targeted Wen Qingrang, Jiang Ranxing might instantly lose even more patience with him.
He desperately wanted Wen Qingrang to disappear from their lives, as if that would eliminate any obstacles to their reunion.
They remained silent the entire way.
When Fu Xingyi returned to Qinglin Villa and saw his mother, he was so happy he felt like he could fly.
"Mom, you're finally back! Mom, have you had dinner yet? What would you like to eat? I'll ask the chef to make it for you, okay?"
Jiang Ranxing patted his head and said, "No need, Mom has already eaten."
Fu Xingyi held her hand, unsure of what to say, but unwilling to let go.
"Mom, are you and Dad going to a banquet tomorrow? Yiyi wants to go too. Can Mom and Dad take me?"
Jiang Ranxing shook his head and said, "Children shouldn't go to those kinds of occasions. Yiyi should stay at home."
"Huh? Does Mom dislike me? Why won't she take me anywhere? Ever since Aunt Xiaohui and Brother Mai Mai went abroad, Mom rarely takes me out. She even moved to Uncle Jiang Yan's place. Can't Mom take me back to live with her? I miss Mom so much."
Fu Xingyi looked genuinely sad, his little face pouting. Given his naturally endearing appearance, anyone who saw him would feel sorry for him.
Jiang Ranxing wasn't a heartless person, but Jiang Yan clearly didn't like the ungrateful Fu Xingyi. Even if he brought him back to the Jiang family, Jiang Yan wouldn't be very affectionate towards him.
Jiang Ranxing squatted down: "Yiyi, Mom has been busy lately. How about we have your dad take you out to play sometime?"
"Dad wants Mom to be with him too. Dad and I both need Mom. Mom, can't you pick a time to go out with us?" Fu Xingyi became more and more pitiful as she spoke, and she seemed about to cry.
Fu Shenyuan chimed in, "Yes, we two men wouldn't be happy anywhere without you."
Jiang Ranxing said helplessly, "Then go lie to Lin Xue, go find your Aunt Xue Sha. Anyway, she's quite willing. Bring her child along, and wouldn't the four of you be a happy family?"
"Burning Star, please don't talk like that. It will hurt Yi Yi's feelings."
Jiang Ranxing said coldly, "Then stop bothering me. I'm very busy. I'll say it again, I might take the kids out when I have time."
