A Crazy Love Proposal
Chapter 239 - 239 127 The Squirrel Steals Nuts

Chapter 239: Chapter 127: The Squirrel Steals Nuts Chapter 239: Chapter 127: The Squirrel Steals Nuts He didn’t know how to explain this emotion, clearly loving her so much, yet whenever his possessiveness got the better of him, he would forcefully suppress it.

He was twenty-eight, not eighteen, and couldn’t just fully express his possessiveness whenever it arose.

He didn’t want to limit her freedom, because she was an adult now, with her own thoughts and plans.

His thoughts shouldn’t become the shackles that limited her freedom.

Yet he still hoped she would understand, willing to love only him, without any coercion on his part.

Wen Yangzhi’s face was expressionless, “Does it make you unhappy to talk more?”

She sat on the carpet, hugging her chest and looking up at him, deliberately nonchalant, “Yeah, I’m happy, I talk to people every day, I dine with them, receive their roses, stroll with them under the sky, unlike you, you even clear out the supermarket when we go shopping.”

Not receiving her affirmation, but instead her retort, Wen Yangzhi responded indifferently, “Do you really think that thinking this way makes you happy?”

But suddenly she lost that careless demeanor and said softly, “Do you really think I would be happy?”

Her eyes were not entirely naive, touched with a hint of indignation, “You are the one I like the most in the whole world, and the only person I love is you.”

Wen Yangzhi looked down at her, neither speaking.

His unsteady gaze was like a reed marsh, she pushed through the reeds taller than her, unable to see what lay beneath.

Yet he remained calm and collected, while she was stirred up, covered in reed fluff.

Their eyes met in a tug-of-war, their breaths drawn out and cut short.

In the end, it was Wen Yangzhi who broke the silence, “Come up.”

Yun Yuwan climbed onto the couch, onto him, but then didn’t speak to him, turning her face away.

His big hand suddenly cradled her face, trying to turn her towards him, but Yun Yuwan kept turning away.

Wen Yangzhi’s voice was a low purr, “Don’t want to talk to me?”

Yun Yuwan turned away, like a petulant teapot.

Just then, someone came up knocking on the door, “Young Master Wen, sir says he has something to discuss with Miss Yun.”

Wen Yangzhi replied, “Understood.”

She scrambled off his lap and headed for the door.

Although she ignored him, Wen Yangzhi also stood up and followed her.

During this period, he at least wouldn’t let her meet with Wen Wei and Zhao Qin alone.

Wen Wei was waiting in the main hall.

Seeing Yun Yuwan and Wen Yangzhi come down one after the other, he didn’t notice any issues between them.

Yun Yuwan approached Wen Wei, “Uncle.”

Hearing her say ‘uncle’ instead of ‘dad’, Wen Wei felt a tinge of disappointment, but things have to come slowly, and he smiled kindly, his crow’s feet longer than the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, “Have a seat.”

Wen Wei gave specific instructions, “Your aunt hasn’t been home much recently, I’ve told Uncle Deng to consult you if there’s anything, big or small, you can make the decisions for the house.”

“Me?” Yun Yuwan was quite surprised.

Wen Yangzhi sat on the side, silent, but Wen Wei quite clearly felt a different atmosphere around him, as if the coldness that was once veiled with thin snow had suddenly let down its guard.

Having everyone listen to Yun Yuwan meant she wouldn’t be ostracized by the family because of recent events.

In the past, the household basically only listened to Zhao Qin, when Yun Yuwan first arrived, everyone catered to Zhao Qin’s mood, and treated Yun Yuwan poorly. Although they weren’t overt, Yun Yuwan indeed had a hard time.

Wen Yangzhi found out later, and only then did Yun Yuwan’s days get a bit better.

Now that Wen Wei had made his stance clear, Yun Yuwan would at least not be bullied.

Zhao Qin just happened to return home and heard Yun Yuwan speaking, “Thank you, uncle.”

She also heard Wen Yangzhi’s even voice, “Thank you.”

Wen Wei was touched, “We’re family, no need for thanks.”

Zhao Qin heard Wen Yangzhi’s response, “Hmm.”

With that ‘hmm’, Wen Wei couldn’t help but feel moved, the clear boundary between him and Wen Yangzhi seemed to have softened and shifted.

He once thought that he could never again have a normal father-son relationship in this lifetime.

Now he knew that as Yun Yuwan respected him, Wen Yangzhi would follow suit.

Wen Yangzhi had things he cared about, showing kindness to Yun Yuwan was to some extent also an overture of goodwill towards Wen Yangzhi.

Zhao Qin, after hearing Wen Yangzhi say thank you and then agreeing with the idea of family, paused for a moment as she entered the main hall.

It had been a long time since such an atmosphere existed, her son had always been so guarded in their interactions.

Now they could interact like this.

Like an ordinary family.

So close yet so far.

Despite entering with a cold face, Wen Wei saw that Zhao Qin carried a paper bag, “Did you go shopping?”

Zhao Qin hummed noncommittally.

Wen Wei followed her upstairs, not wanting her to be upset at her age over this, “Let me carry that for you.”
