Chapter 950: Chapter 21: Starlight Shining Bright, Only Deep Affection Cannot Be Betrayed

Two days later, after the trip to Australia was over, they rushed back before New Year’s Day.

Feng Yuning was completely sweet and nestled in Yu Yuanshen’s arms.

Yu Yuanshen was very unaccustomed to this change in status, and every time he saw the relieved and smiling eyes of his parents, he would look away somewhat gloomily.

At the same time, facing Feng Yuning’s behavior of clinging to his arm almost like a koala—

On the plane, Youxuan sat beside her grandparents, excitedly gesturing at the clouds and ocean of Australia outside.

Beside him, Feng Yuning tightly held onto his right arm, unwilling to let go since they boarded the plane.

He broke free once, but failed.

He tried to break free a second time, but failed again.

By the third attempt, seeing a few flight attendants over there laughing at something about him,

He gave up his arm, blocking his eyes with his hand in extreme speechlessness, gazing towards the aisle, feeling regretful, desperate...

...

The white clouds of Australia drifted leisurely across the beautiful latitudes and longitudes of the Earth, finally arriving at Rong City.

Upon landing, Feng Yuning, who had been absent for a week, naturally reported home first thing.

At the airport entrance, Feng Yuning clung to his arm, giving him kisses one after another on the cheek.

Yu Yuanshen’s expression was frozen, partly covered with a thin layer of frost.

But his daughter, Yu Youxuan, was under their feet, clapping her little hands, giggling with unusual joy.

Yu Yuanshen didn’t want to talk.

Feng Yuning also knew where Yu Yuanshen’s displeasure came from; after all, this was Rong City, where many people knew him, and if they were to be discovered...

But she didn’t mind too much. After giving her share of kisses with a bright smile, she kissed Youxuan’s little face and called Yu’s father and mother, then hurriedly got into the car.

Yu Yuanshen didn’t see her off, either because the current status didn’t suit it, or because Feng Yuning had been missing for so long that following her to the Feng Family on New Year’s Day would cause some unnecessary commotion.

The matter with his good brother Qiu Mingyan hadn’t been resolved yet, and he didn’t want to deepen any resentment.

Rubbing his temples, he also drove his own car to take his parents and daughter home.

In the days that followed, it was as natural as any couple just getting together...

During the day, while Yu Yuanshen worked, Feng Yuning, as usual, pursued him, running to the GIO Investment Bank’s upper office. Most of the time, Yu Yuanshen was immersed in work, ignoring her.

The aloof Yu Yuanshen carried a touch of arrogant coldness, and Feng Yuning would pout.

But she didn’t mind, just holding an iPad while watching TV shows, or browsing her uncle’s company’s overseas shopping website, undisturbed.

At night, when Yu Yuanshen had to attend social engagements, she didn’t follow, only showing up the few times Yu Yuanshen was drunk and asking Xiaoou for hangover medicine, she’d suddenly stick her head out from the driver’s seat, putting down her elimination game, handing over the medicine and warm water.

In the end, amidst Yu Yuanshen’s mildly stunned gaze, she’d smile, quietly driving him back home.

Occasionally, during intimate moments, she’d show up at his office late at night when she could sneak out, capturing him with kisses in a possessive manner, then pulling him into bed. To be honest, it’s something that often happens between couples, and Feng Yuning’s requests weren’t excessive.

Yu Yuanshen understood the responsibility, he knew. It’s just that he’s not a man of particularly strong desires; some things, whether they happened or not was fine, especially in the office...

Yu Yuanshen would always display an unwilling face, full of reluctance!

But he couldn’t withstand Feng Yuning, this little witch’s, antics!

What frequently happened was that, no matter how much Yu Yuanshen resisted, he’d eventually be dragged to bed by Feng Yuning, sacrificing himself in a long tug-of-war struggle...

In such actions, Yu Yuanshen felt he was both tragic and as if Feng Yuning wanted to occupy him...

But each morning he’d wake up to find the bed with only himself alone.

Even with time far from the rush hour, Feng Yuning would leave early, leaving a note on the bedside, saying breakfast was ready, reminding him to eat.

Her departure was so clean that he couldn’t find a single strand of her hair on his bed. Lowering his eyes, Yu Yuanshen felt... if not for seeing himself still bare, the lingering scent of Feng Yuning on the sheets and his chest...

She seemed to have never appeared...

So, getting up, clutching the note, he’d space out.

Yu Yuanshen occasionally wondered if he understood Feng Yuning.

To a certain extent, he didn’t. At thirty-four, he’d experienced love, seen through life, and despite the ups and downs, he believed he could stay clean in the mixed environment of the business world, due to his high emotional intelligence, seeing through women’s desires and purposes easily.

But Feng Yuning seemed to break this principle; he couldn’t see through her.

Or perhaps her desire for him was so low that it didn’t need excessive insight.

Everyone knew he still loved, thought about, and couldn’t forget a woman. Approaching him was like a moth to a flame, with no emotional reciprocation. Yet she persistently approached him without retreat.

But whenever he was troubled, annoyed, or felt forced by her behaviors that he’d be bound into marriage again, she’d leave cleanly each time, never taking more than necessary.

What was she after? Yu Yuanshen pulled up his pants, stood up, opened the curtains, and just leaned against the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows, deep in thought.

He faintly felt that, in her heart, liking was her own business, unrelated to his response...

Yu Yuanshen didn’t want to admit it, but upon leaving the office, facing the prepared fried egg, toast, ham, and milk on the table, he had to acknowledge, this girl’s purity at times indeed made one’s heart move...

...

All changes seemingly began half a month later.

In a blink, it was January 20, 2020; Chinese New Year would be on the 25th. Every major company had mostly wrapped up their busy agendas, and Yu Yuanshen had given himself a vacation early, planning to buy some New Year’s goods, take his daughter to buy some fireworks, and prepare for the celebration.

The company wouldn’t need him anymore; after tidying up his things, he planned to leave tonight.

The weather had turned pretty cold by now; he turned off the air conditioner, put on a coat, and wrapped a scarf around his neck.

But in the evening, just before leaving, as he opened his office door, he found Feng Yuning standing outside, still in a knocking gesture.

Upon opening the door, their eyes met, and seeing Feng Yuning, Yu Yuanshen couldn’t quite articulate his feelings, but genuine curiosity about her current expression was undeniable.

"What’s up?"

His voice was warm and magnetic.

Feng Yuning appeared a bit shy.

The hesitation made Yu Yuanshen glance at the passing secretary outside, then turn the lights and air conditioning back on.

"Come in and talk."

He turned around.

But Feng Yuning’s words behind him made him stop in his tracks, "I’m pregnant."
