CHAPTER 458: CHAPTER 456: SHOCKING NEWS

Fu Qiang did not explicitly say it, but Fu Jinghen understood.

"What needs to be done will be done, after all, it was I who brought it up first," Fu Jinghen whispered. "Even if the engagement is dissolved, the Fu Family will still protect her."

"Okay," nodded Fu Qiang. "Since you have decided, I won’t interfere anymore. You’ve grown up now; you don’t listen to me anyway."

Fu Jinghen helplessly called out, "Sister."

Fu Qiang hummed and stood up, picking up her bag and walking out.

Feng Li was about to knock with a cup of tea in hand when the door suddenly opened from the inside.

Feng Li paused, presenting the tea with both hands, "Chairman Fu, your tea."

"Give it to your boss to clear his blocked mind."

Fu Jinghen: "..."

Feng Li: "..."

After Fu Qiang left, Feng Li stepped forward and peered into the office, "President Fu?"

Fu Jinghen waved his hand dismissively, "Leave."

"Okay."

Closing the office door behind him, Feng Li held the teacup at the doorway for a few seconds, still finding it unbelievable.

President Fu and the Boss Lady ended their engagement?

Truly earth-shattering news.

The office returned to silence. Fu Jinghen stared blankly at one spot for a while until a "ding-dong" sound snapped him out of his trance.

He picked up his phone and saw a notification pop up from Weibo—

@Wen Qiao: Got off work early! [ImageJPG.][ImageJPG.]

Fu Jinghen clicked in, and once the interface loaded, he saw two newly posted photos by Wen Qiao.

In the first photo, Wen Qiao’s hair was styled in a single swirl with a clean, plump forehead showing, a hairpin sticking out on her head, and strands of hair casually framing her cheeks. She was wearing a blurred-out dress that seemed to be light pink, sitting in front of a low table holding a scroll, with bright sunlight casting over her.

The second was a selfie, with a playful pout and smile, set against a somewhat messy background with fruits and a script on the table behind her.

His fingers softly and slowly swept across the screen, saving these two pictures to his album, and he liked Wen Qiao’s post.

Initially, he registered on Weibo just for Wen Qiao; he wasn’t much into these things, following only Wen Qiao and maintaining a username and profile picture randomly assigned by the system. Hence, his like on Wen Qiao’s Weibo wouldn’t reveal anything to her.

After a long while, Fu Jinghen put down his phone, closed his eyes, and pinched the bridge of his nose.

After leaving the company, Fu Qiang returned to the Fu Family’s Lake Heart Villa.

After Mr. Fu passed away, Fu Qiang had moved here with Fu Jinghen and even after marrying Qi Ming’s father, she did not ask Fu Jinghen to move out. Until Qi Ming was in third or fourth grade, Fu Qiang very confidently left Qi Ming under Fu Jinghen’s care, ostensibly to cultivate Fu Jinghen’s management skills, but in reality, it gave them plenty of time to travel the world.

One could say, Qi Ming had more memories of living with Fu Jinghen than with his own mother, which is why Fu Jinghen’s words carried more weight with Qi Ming than his own mother’s.

Later, when Fu Jinghen got engaged to Wen Qiao, he moved to Yujia Garden. Lake Heart Villa was left with only Qi Ming, who after a few days felt the large house was too empty with just him and the maid, and so he packed up and moved to a high-end apartment in the city center. Whenever he felt like it, he would stay a few nights at either Lake Heart Villa or Yujia Garden.
