Chapter 933: [Main Episode] Sparks Like Stars, Only Passion Is Not to Be Betrayed (5)

Feng Yuning gritted her teeth in frustration, but having no other choice, she reluctantly put down the broom and walked out.

Yu Yuanshen quickly followed her out.

Perhaps to maintain the last vestige of gentlemanly etiquette, he didn’t call for a driver to take Feng Yuning home. Instead, he went to the sofa area to pick up his coat and followed her out.

During the entire process of going downstairs, because Yu Yuanshen had a faint scent of alcohol on him, it made Feng Yuning feel a bit tipsy too.

But it seemed that looking at the man she liked, everything about him was pleasing to the eye.

After a pause, Feng Yuning leaned closer and asked, "What would it take to win your heart?"

Yu Yuanshen frowned, "Nothing will work!"

"Why?"

"Because..." Yu Yuanshen paused, looking at Feng Yuning’s beautiful face, and for a moment, he recalled the woman he had liked for more than ten years.

A faint bitterness washed over him. He didn’t speak further but took out a cigarette pack from his pocket, pulled one out, lit it, and lowered his eyes as he puffed on it.

That hesitant demeanor made Feng Yuning understand the reason right away.

Especially since Rong City wasn’t big; any news could be easily found out.

Gently rubbing her shoe on the elevator floor, she said, "It’s in the past now, isn’t it? Looking at how my uncle treats her, it’s unlikely they’d divorce. You have to move on with your life, don’t you?"

"Having my daughter is enough for me."

When Yu Yuanshen said this, the impact on Feng Yuning’s heart was—

Raising a disbelieving eyebrow, she said, "Are you planning to remain single for life?"

"What’s wrong with that?" Yu Yuanshen flicked the ash from his cigarette, glancing at the elevator’s descending floor numbers.

Feng Yuning felt ripples stirring in her heart, especially in this day and age. To persist in loving a woman for over a decade is no mean feat, and to do so for such a woman...

Feeling momentarily moved by Yu Yuanshen, she said, "What if I insist on pursuing you?"

Yu Yuanshen turned to look at her, the corners of his lips curling slightly into a half-smile, without replying.

But the subtle, unreadable look in his eyes made Feng Yuning realize he didn’t take her words seriously at all.

Feng Yuning didn’t say anything further.

On the way back, as the vehicle sped through the neon-lit world, they remained silent.

Until they arrived at a convenient place for catching a cab, close to home, Yu Yuanshen stopped the car to let Feng Yuning off.

"I’ve already paid the fare in advance, so I won’t take you back. It’d be inconvenient for both you and me. This place isn’t far from your home, and I’ve already taken note of the driver’s license plate, so there shouldn’t be any personal safety issues. Go home."

Yu Yuanshen was referring to the fact that the Feng Family wouldn’t approve of their involvement, making it troublesome, and he personally disliked getting entangled in such gossip, raising suspicions.

Feng Yuning understood, but looking at the man elegantly holding a cigarette in the snow, knowing he had clearly expressed his lack of interest in getting entangled with her, she still couldn’t control her feelings for him.

So...

Without refusing Yu Yuanshen’s arrangement, just before getting into the cab, she suddenly ran up to him, and in Yu Yuanshen’s slightly surprised gaze— 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

She tiptoed, pulled his neck down, and planted a big kiss on his face.

Yu Yuanshen was completely stunned.

Eyes wide, he seemed to not expect that at thirty-four, he would still experience such "passion" typically reserved for younger people. Even the cigarette between his fingers froze mid-air.

After kissing him, Feng Yuning, still on tiptoe, smiled and said, "I know you’re someone who is persistent about emotions, and coincidentally, so am I. So, no matter how you refuse, I’m determined to pursue you! You will be my husband; that’s my declaration of commitment!"

Having succinctly expressed the dominant nature of the Feng Family, she looked at the momentarily dazed Yu Yuanshen.

In Feng Yuning’s bright eyes, there was a light hue of affection, and finally, she stole two more light kisses from his lips before turning and running away.

As Feng Yuning waved goodbye with a smile upon getting into the cab, Yu Yuanshen hadn’t quite snapped out of his daze.

Until the car nearly drove away, and a chilly winter wind came blowing in, he finally seemed to return to his senses, noticing the low, smiling whispers of people pointing on the street.

He faintly heard the others around him.

"Look, that good-looking couple is so eye-catching."

"Yes, an older man paired with a young woman, so well-matched."

"I never expected people their age could be so romantic. Look at you! You’re only twenty-six and already say we’re an old couple, not kissing anymore!"

His cheeks flushed hot and red, Yu Yuanshen stubbed out the cigarette ash, quickly opened the car door and sat inside.

But even with everyone else’s gazes shut out, he still couldn’t calm his racing heart.

Feeling the lingering touch on his lips again...

Yu Yuanshen thought back to how he had liked Qiu Zhixuan for so many years and realized he had never experienced anything like this.

The aroma lingering on his lips seemed still to spread.

Carrying an alluring, entrancing air.

This little witch!

Yu Yuanshen inwardly grumbled about her!

When starting the car, he found turning the key a bit difficult—a first in his life, being teased by Feng Yuning to the point of feeling like he was experiencing a first love, he scathingly mocked himself.

Back at the company, he intended to quickly finish his work.

Upon pushing open the bedroom door of the suite, intending to change clothes to remove the perfume smell.

He saw in the center of the European-style bed, neatly placed, the sexy nightgown Feng Yuning had worn earlier, which she hadn’t taken with her, leaving even the bra in an especially seductive arrangement!

Startled, Yu Yuanshen quickly checked the surroundings to ensure no one saw or spied on him, then with a deeply red face, he stepped forward and gathered everything up.

He didn’t know where to put it, so he found a shirt box and shoved it all in, stuffing it at the very bottom of the wardrobe.

Yet when he went to the bathroom to shower, hoping to disperse the scent, he suddenly realized that if Feng Yuning’s bra was here, then she wasn’t wearing one while hugging him earlier?

Realizing this, Yu Yuanshen’s face turned even redder.

Under the shower, despite not being unfamiliar with women—Youxuan was already grown.

That night, he was still teased by this Feng Yuning so thoroughly that he felt hot-blooded, like a teenager...

...

Feng Yuning hummed a song all the way back.

Upon arriving at Feng Mansion, thinking of Yu Yuanshen’s dazed expression after being kissed, she couldn’t help but let out another laugh.

Such a joyful demeanor would brighten anyone’s day, except for a figure standing on the steps for some time.

Under the dim European-style wall lamp, Li Zhi had really not expected that despite watching Feng Yuning so closely during the day, she would still sneak out like that.

And perhaps it was a mother’s intuition, but Yuning’s overly joyous demeanor at night only heightened Li Zhi’s unease and fear.

So, when Feng Yuning turned a corner and ran into her, her face slightly changing in surprise, she coldly asked, "Where did you go during the day?"
