Chapter 289 Eating Six Walnuts to Boost Brain Power
Murong Ting stared at the woman in front of him, seeing through all her grievances and struggles. His eyes were full of heartache. He took a step forward, pulled her into his arms, and gently comforted her, "Don't cry, Wanwan, don't cry."
Kong Wange rested her chin on the man's strong shoulder, and her sobs grew louder because of his comfort.
Murong Ting panicked and stroked her hair, saying softly, "None of this is Wanwan's fault. Wanwan's mother loves Wanwan very much. Wanwan's mother did not really leave Wanwan; she just transferred her love for Wanwan to another person."
"She told that Wanwan's birthday was very precious. Wanwan was so outstanding that she deserved to be loved and seen by everyone. She told that person that he must accompany Wanwan in her place, accompany her through the seasons, accompany her across mountains and seas, accompany her in practicing medicine, and also accompany her for every birthday of the rest of her life."
"Wanwan, you must understand that you are the most precious gift God has given to those who care about you. You are unparalleled and unique. You must continue to be happy."
After a while, Kong Wange mumbled in his arms, "Murong Ting, you're so good at talking, it's a waste of your talent to be a businessman."
Murong Ting chuckled lightly: "Who says otherwise? If the group doesn't perform well in the future, I'll sell my poetry to support my family."
"Then forget it, you didn't really go that far."
Murong Ting: "...I don't care, anyway you praised me for my talent."
The night was long, the chirping of cicadas outside the window was intermittent, and the curtains were fluttering in the breeze like a skirt.
Inside the room, the lighting was soft, and the overlapping shadows of the two people embracing were stretched long.
Sensing that the person in his arms had calmed down a bit, Murong Ting gently released her: "Are you feeling better?"
Kong Wange, her eyes red, gave a soft "Mmm".
"Shall we continue?"
As he spoke, Murong Ting took out a delicate little box from his clothes.
He opened the box, inside which was an exquisite ring.
The ring features an openwork design, is entirely set with diamonds, and has a delicate and dazzling orange-yellow diamond in the center that is very eye-catching.
Kong Wange stared at the ring, her breath catching in her throat.
Murong Ting leaned closer to her and said gently, "Wanwan, this last gift is my 26th birthday present to you. Happy birthday, and I hope I can be honored to be a part of every birthday you have in the future."
The man's smile was gentle and tender, like a stream in the forest, like the moon in the mountains, like the morning light—sincere and moving.
He slowly but solemnly handed the gift to her.
Kong Wange's eyes were red-rimmed, and she bit her lip slightly, remaining silent.
She tried to appear calm, but her heart was pounding.
If he had given her a bracelet, a necklace, or earrings, she probably wouldn't have been so nervous.
It is precisely rings that carry special meanings in jewelry.
Kong Wange looked at the ring, and after a moment, slowly took it.
She stared blankly at Murong Ting.
The man in front of her was someone she knew very well. Thinking about it carefully, they had actually been together for quite a while, a full six years.
In the past few days, she has also been reflecting on who should be blamed for the many years they have missed out on.
Blame the villains who caused this, blame the cruel twists of fate.
In short, it seems like he can't be blamed; they are both victims.
The man in front of her is already trying to make up for his mistakes from back then. He has already taken ninety-nine steps forward. What is she still stubbornly clinging to?
Whether it's Wen Yan or Kong Wange, it's all the same person in the end.
He has proven through his actions that he is sincere to himself.
It has been from beginning to end.
Why should she continue to be so pretentious?
At this moment, the problem that had briefly troubled her no longer seemed to warrant any hesitation.
She slowly exhaled, her fingers clenched, and said, word by word, "Murong Ting, is there anything else you want to say?"
She thought that if he asked her to forgive him now, or even proposed to her again with a ring, she would be willing.
Murong Ting, who was opposite her, was taken aback when he heard her ask this question.
What I want to say...
Does he need to say anything more?
Everything he wanted to say is already in the ring.
Kong Wange waited for a while, but all she got was Murong Ting shaking his head in surprise and saying, "No, what's wrong? Wange, you don't like this ring..."
Kong Wange: "..."
She was nervous for a long time, but she never expected that this man would be so clueless at the crucial moment.
"Never mind," Kong Wange took a deep breath. "I'll accept the other gifts. Take the ring back and think about it. It's getting late. Goodbye."
As she spoke, she reached out and pushed him away.
The man in front of her made a foolish move, and her heart, which had finally softened, immediately hardened back into stone.
If the stone had a ignition point, it would be smoking by now!
Murong Ting was confused. What was going on?
The atmosphere wasn't good just now, why are you kicking people out so suddenly?!
"Wanwan, the children haven't had enough fun yet, there's no rush to leave..." Murong Ting subconsciously grabbed the door frame.
Kong Wange paused slightly and subconsciously looked into the courtyard, only to find that the three little ones were nowhere to be seen.
Where are the children?
Her expression tightened, and she no longer cared about pushing Murong Ting away.
Murong Ting looked around and was startled.
Fortunately, the courtyard gate was pushed open the next second, and the three little ones ran in panting. Murong Chen, feeling guilty, took the lead and said, "Daddy, you're so fast! Are you leaving already? Have you finished talking with Mommy?"
Murong Ting didn't react for a moment: "Where did you guys run off to? Why are you panting like that?"
Kong Chi calmly replied, "We've been keeping watch outside the yard, keeping watch for Daddy and Mommy!"
Murong Ting and Kong Wange had no doubts.
Kong Wange walked up to the three little ones, looked at the three darlings standing in a row, and bent down to say, "My darlings, thank you for coming to celebrate Mommy's birthday. It's getting late, so let Daddy take you home first, okay?"
The three little ones came over and rubbed against Kong Wange's legs: "No problem, Mommy, Mommy will remember to miss us!"
Kong Ran blinked her big eyes and said sweetly, "Mommy, goodnight kisses."
"Okay~" Kong Wange replied affectionately, and then gave each of the three little ones a kiss from left to right.
After kissing Murong Chen, who was third in line, she felt a darkness before her eyes. When she looked up, she found that Murong Ting had also joined the queue at some point.
Kong Wange: "..."
She ignored him and went straight to her three children, saying, "Be careful on the road, and remember to send Mommy a WeChat message when you get home."
"Mmm," the three little ones answered in unison.
Left out in the cold, Murong Ting awkwardly touched his nose: "Wanwan, can I have a kiss too?"
Kong Wange smiled expressionlessly: "You want another kiss? Go back and eat more walnuts."
Murong Ting: "..."
Kong Wange waved to the three little ones, then turned and went back into the house.
Murong Ting looked completely bewildered.
In the dead of night, when all the servants in the house had gone to rest, the four of them—one adult and three children—each arrived at their destination, some climbing over walls, others crawling through tunnels.
The three little ones squeezed through the hole with the least effort, and quickly made their way out.
While waiting for Murong Ting, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"Brother Chi, Sister Ran, why do you think Mommy makes Daddy eat more walnuts?" Murong Chen asked with a gossipy look on his face.
