Chapter 941: Chapter 13: Brilliant as Sparks, True Affection Must Not Be Forsaken

The first day she was deceived, and the second day she was deceived again.

When Monday came and the normal work cycle resumed, Feng Yuning ran even more recklessly.

As the end of the year approached, some data and other things became more urgent to complete. Several companies were eyeing the good days before the year-end to rush to go public, keeping Yu Yuanshen busy with overtime from morning till night.

When another weekend arrived, Yu Yuanshen received a financial conference notice from Wall Street in the United States...

Hurriedly making a trip to the United States, without Feng Yuning pestering him every day, Yu Yuanshen’s work went smoothly.

Even the rumors about that day in the office gradually faded because of his always calm and restrained image, spreading for a few days before dying down among friends.

But what is meant to come will always come. A week later, some storylines...

When Yu Yuanshen was in the United States, things were fine, but when the plane landed in Rong City, he didn’t know whether it was a mental premonition or the beginning of a hunch.

He hadn’t seen his daughter much for a week, and it was the weekend. Yet his daughter didn’t come with the secretary to pick him up, which made him feel...

Furrowing his brows and looking around, Yu Yuanshen’s tall and slender figure stood out in the cold snow.

As he surveyed the surroundings, his outstanding appearance and gentlemanly demeanor, cultivated from inside out, caught the attention of the ladies and missuses exiting the airport with him. Their hearts fluttered like young girls, stretching their necks to see him and quietly adjusting their appearances.

But he didn’t look at anyone, simply realizing his daughter wasn’t there, making him even more agitated internally. He withdrew his gaze.

Secretary Xiaoou saw this scene, smiled from beside the car, and walked up, "President Yu is back?"

Yu Yuanshen brushed off the small snowflakes on his brown woolen coat, nodded, and handed his briefcase to Xiaoou, "Mm."

Finally, with a long stride, he stepped into the Bentley Continental as Xiaoou opened the car door for him.

With the model-like man out of sight, a large number of entranced hearts fell faster than anything, especially upon seeing that he rode in a luxury car, escorted not only by a secretary but also by bodyguards.

The level of status made them grit their teeth, a billionaire! Why couldn’t they have stayed a few seconds longer to get a chance at a romantic encounter?

Yu Yuanshen had no idea what those women were thinking. As he sat in the car, facing Xiaoou’s inquiry, "President Yu, where to?"

He thought he should go to the company first to return the files, but as the words were about to leave his mouth, he felt something unsettling in his heart.

Furrowing his brows, he said, "Home."

...

At this moment, in the Yu Mansion.

Feng Yuning’s heart was also filled with anxiety.

After more than a week of adjustment and pleasing, Feng Yuning was quite certain she had basically won the favor of the Yu Family, but the final hurdle remained insurmountable.

How should she tell Mr. and Mrs. Yu, after only a week, that she wants to be their daughter-in-law?

Yu Yuanshen hadn’t resolved things yet. Telling them like this would drive Mr. and Mrs. Yu insane, right? Even experienced drivers don’t drive this fast!

But... glancing at the clock on the wall, 14:15.

Time waits for no one. Yu Yuanshen was returning from the United States today. What would happen if he caught her staying?

But leaving...

Opposite her, Yu Youxuan was happily making a little dress for her Barbie doll, silver needles clumsily maneuvering in her small hands. Her sewing skills were far from proficient, but she was extremely delighted.

Today, Yu’s mother Zhang Jing accompanied the little one, sitting at the sewing machine, stitching lace ribbons onto the Barbie doll’s skirt, smiling gently.

The vignette of what looked like three generations was beautiful, especially since she resembled the one at the center — the wife.

Feng Yuning enjoyed it, yet hesitated.

Yu Youxuan quietly snuck up to her sketchbook, whispering, "Mom, have you finished drawing the princess dress?"

Feng Yuning paused and, looking at the sketchbook in her hand, frantically said, "Not yet! Wait a little!"

Yu Youxuan pouted, "So slow..."

Feng Yuning hurriedly glanced over, "Who’s slow! I’m the fastest! Just you wait..."

Finally, she began scribbling furiously.

Her frantic demeanor was adorable, especially as Yu Youxuan successfully teased her, giggling mischievously.

This delightful scene was caught by Zhang Jing’s eye. She raised her deep gaze to give Feng Yuning a glance, paused, and continued sewing.

At the door, Mr. Yu just happened to pass by, saw the scene, lowered his gaze, shared a glance with Mrs. Yu, smiled, and left...

...

Time passed by in Feng Yuning’s hesitation, continuously slipping away.

After finishing the Barbie doll’s dress and having afternoon tea, Yu Youxuan enthusiastically brought her preschool sketchbook, asking Feng Yuning for help with coloring and completing parental homework. Feng Yuning, always meticulous, completely forgot about Yu Yuanshen’s return.

After coloring the beautiful dress of the flower fairy, Feng Yuning helped Yu Youxuan with her preschool hand-drawn craft.

Finally, she picked up the flower tea beside her, wanting to wet her throat.

But what was meant to happen, inevitably happened!

A voice excitedly announced, "Sir is back!"

Immediately followed by the sound of a coupe’s engine racing down the villa’s road to the doorway, Feng Yuning froze for a moment, nearly spitting out her flower tea!

Yet the improper action and the instant change upon hearing her son’s return were completely captured by Zhang Jing.

Feng Yuning was also slightly embarrassed, as her hand unconsciously shook, splashing tea onto the collar of her turtleneck sweater.

With an awkward and painful smile, Feng Yuning quickly pulled out a tissue to dab at the water.

Yu Youxuan also quickly grabbed a tissue, whispering softly, "Mom, how can you be so careless?"

Feng Yuning smiled more awkwardly, softly saying, "Mm, not careful."

Zhang Jing glanced over, said nothing, just smiled, stood up gently, and went down to greet her son first.

When the room was left with only Yu Youxuan and Feng Yuning.

From frantic and maddened, Feng Yuning grabbed Yu Youxuan’s small hand and said, "Youxuan, are you sure that gentleman is your father coming back?"

"Mm, my dad!" Yu Youxuan nodded.

Feng Yuning squealed slightly, "Your dad!"

Yu Youxuan was puzzled, curiously tilting her head to look at Feng Yuning, saying, "Mrs. Feng, don’t you like my dad? You should be happy when my dad comes back, right? Why are you so scared?"

Instantly, facing the innocent Yu Youxuan, Feng Yuning felt as though she had a bitter pill to swallow and couldn’t explain.

Yes! She was happy, and she did like Yu Yuanshen, fundamentally not afraid.

But now’s not the time to meet Yu Yuanshen!

Everyone knew she came to conquer the Yu Family to win over Yu Yuanshen, but she hadn’t conquered the Yu Family yet, Mr. and Mrs. Yu hadn’t agreed, and if Yu Yuanshen discovered her actions first, what would he think of her? Moreover, how would Mr. and Mrs. Yu view her intentions with the knowledge of her motives and seniority?

Feeling embarrassed, thinking back on some rumors Feng Yuxi brought back to her from GIO...

Feng Yuning’s throat tightened slightly, she could even hear herself swallow.

Today she was truly going to waste all her previous efforts, it was over!

But further stepping over her heartbeat were the footsteps and calls coming up the staircase.

Yu Yuanshen’s first act upon returning home was to see his dear daughter, walking straight towards them...
