CHAPTER 510: CHAPTER 510

Fu Youhan didn’t hold much hope because he knew he had hurt Jiang Moxi deeply before.

Although Jiang Moxi still had feelings for him, he felt that she probably hadn’t forgiven him yet.

Fu Youhan was even prepared for a prolonged effort.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Moxi’s response was, "Give it some more time."

There was no outright refusal and she even allowed for time, which meant Jiang Moxi was starting to accept him again.

Overjoyed, Fu Youhan quickly embraced her from behind, "Xixi, thank you! Thank you for being willing to accept me again!"

Jiang Moxi said, "But I might not be able to have children in the future, are you really sure you want to be with me?"

Their eyes met through the mirror, Jiang Moxi’s clear and penetrating eyes meeting Fu Youhan’s gaze.

He replied, "Of course I’m sure. In this lifetime, I won’t fall in love with anyone else but you!"

However, at this moment, Fu Youhan couldn’t help but recall some of the childhood memories Jiang Moxi had inadvertently revealed at dinner earlier.

"Xixi, if I had known you earlier, if I had brought you home earlier to take care of you, then you wouldn’t have had to suffer under Liang Family’s abuse, or been left alone in the orphanage, nor faced ostracism from the Jiang Family later..."

Listening to Jiang Moxi revealing her past hardships, Fu Youhan genuinely felt heartbroken.

Especially when Jiang Moxi mentioned the winters when the Liang Family wouldn’t even let her wear proper trousers, it felt as if his heart was being cut open.

But it seemed as if Jiang Moxi had long since moved past those events, with a slight smile still on her lips.

"If I had met you earlier, I wouldn’t be who I am now. Perhaps I would have turned out to be another Fu Wangning, don’t you think?"

"Not the same. Your personality, it meant that however you grew up, you’d be unlike anyone else." Fu Youhan gently pecked Jiang Moxi’s ear, whispering to her.

Just like initially, if Jiang Moxi hadn’t been switched at birth, growing up in the Jiang Family with her integrity, kindness, and loyalty, she was destined to be different.

And Jiang Weiwei, even if she hadn’t been taken by the Jiang Family and had been left in the orphanage by the Liang Family, her selfishness would have precluded her from meeting Feng Ming, let alone being taken into the Feng Family.

Thus, Fu Youhan was firm in his belief that even if he had taken Jiang Moxi home in the beginning, she would not have become Fu Wangning.

Speaking of Fu Wangning, Jiang Moxi asked Fu Youhan, "By the way, hasn’t Miss Fu come looking for you these past few days?"

"She’s here to participate in academic research; why would she come looking for me?"

After helping Jiang Moxi out of her elaborate dress, Fu Youhan embraced her and asked with a raised eyebrow.

"So Miss Xi, caring so much about Wangning, does it mean you’re starting to care about me?"

Jiang Moxi preferred not to answer that question and simply tiptoed up to kiss him.

Later, the moonlight outside the window was just right, and the room was filled with a romantic atmosphere...

*

The next morning, the news of Jiang Weiwei’s imprisonment dominated the front pages of online news outlets.

Xie Ling directly sent Jiang Moxi screenshots of these news articles, adding, "This is what they call karma."

When Jiang Moxi saw the news, she was being taken out by Old Master Feng for a morning tea with friends.

What Jiang Moxi hadn’t expected was that, joining them for morning tea along with Old Master Feng, was Fu Weidong, the Fu Family Patriarch from Emperor City.

Fu Weidong wore a grey suit shirt, a black pinstriped suit vest, and black trousers.

His dignity and elegance seemed to be ingrained in his bones, making even drinking tea and enjoying snacks a delight to watch.

Jiang Moxi observed Fu Weidong, feeling that Fu Youhan resembled him a lot.

However, the message from Xie Ling shifted her attention.

She replied to Xie Ling: "Don’t worry about her, we just need to do our part."

Just after Jiang Moxi sent the message, she hadn’t expected the topic between Fu Weidong and Old Master Feng to have shifted to her.

"Old Mr. Feng, I remember that we had agreed before to become in-laws."

"Yes, when your son was just born, I thought he was exceptionally talented. I wanted to have a granddaughter to tie your son down."

Old Master Feng also said: "I didn’t expect that now I have a granddaughter, but your son is no longer with us..."

It seemed to be a very sorrowful topic.

Jiang Moxi could feel the sadness in Fu Weidong’s dark eyes when he mentioned their son.

But after all, he had commanded the business arena for many years; he quickly composed himself and masked his emotions with a smile.

"Actually, even if that boy is no longer here, we can still become in-laws. My third son, Yinghuai, is also outstanding and should be a good match for Xiao Xi."

Jiang Moxi looked up and saw Fu Weidong smiling at her.

But perhaps because she had spent a lot of time with Fu Youhan, she had studied the microexpressions of men with this appearance; she always felt that Fu Weidong was not genuinely aiming to become in-laws with the Feng Family, but was... playing a prank!

"Yinghuai is indeed impressive; he got dual PhDs at 20 and I heard he now owns several financial companies abroad, doing very well."

Fu Weidong then said, "Well, starting his own business is definitely stronger than those who just take over family enterprises."

Jiang Moxi: "..."

This wasn’t just her imagination, right?

It seemed like Fu Weidong was specifically targeting Fu Youhan!

"And Yinghuai is also in the country today; shall I ask him to join us for dim sum right now?" Fu Weidong added.

Old Master Feng immediately nodded, "Good, I haven’t seen Yinghuai in a long while. I’ll ask the manager to prepare some fine tea to welcome him properly."

Jiang Moxi felt that under these circumstances, it was unsuitable for her to stay here for dim sum.

After all, just last night she had agreed to give Fu Youhan a proper status.

Now, meeting another man behind his back, she really couldn’t bring herself to do it.

"Grandfather, Uncle Fu, I need to go to the studio for a bit, I..." Jiang Moxi stood up to leave.

But Old Master Feng pulled her back to her seat.

"Set aside the studio work for now, the money in your little vault is more than enough for a lifetime; no need to push yourself so hard."

"Xixi, relax a bit, take a good look at the people and things around you." Fu Weidong chimed in.

"That’s right, you might discover that some people are even more outstanding than those around you," Old Master Feng added.

Fu Weidong continued, "Right, what’s so good about an old side dish? At your age, you should find someone of a similar age, someone you can talk to."

"Yinghuai is 24 this year, youthful and vibrant. Plus, he has a good personality, you’ll know once you meet him." Old Master Feng said.

The two of them were in sync, and as soon as Fu Yinghuai arrived, they invited him to sit next to Jiang Moxi.

"Designer X, I’ve long admired your reputation." Fu Yinghuai greeted Jiang Moxi with a smile.

He also vaguely carried that scholarly and noble demeanor similar to Fu Weidong.

But if you had to say who resembled Fu Weidong most, it would still be Fu Youhan, almost as if cast from the same mold.

In a moment, Jiang Moxi thought of what Fu Youhan had told her before, that he was not Old Master Fu’s biological son.

An answer was on the verge of emerging...
