Chapter 672: Chapter 669: Pursuing Her Again

Zhi Xia looked at Fu Yunshen and, with both obedience and caution, called out, "Daddy!"

After speaking, she dared not look at Fu Yunshen’s expression.

She lowered her long eyelashes and whispered, "I’ve been without a daddy since I was little, and I was actually very envious seeing other kids with their daddies. Even when you were still Uncle Yunshen, I liked you a lot."

"Back then, I thought to myself how nice it would be to have a daddy like Uncle Yunshen. I didn’t expect that you’d really be my daddy. I know I used to be naughty and made you and mommy angry, but I promise I’ll be good from now on."

"Daddy, can you not dislike me, please?"

Hearing Zhi Xia’s words, Wen Yuci’s eyes turned red.

She struggled to get out of the man’s embrace, giving him a meaningful look.

Fu Yunshen was equally moved by Zhi Xia’s words.

He squatted down with his tall figure and picked Zhi Xia up.

With his other hand, he wrapped his arm around Wen Yuci’s shoulder, bringing her into his embrace as well.

The family of three held each other close.

"Daddy doesn’t dislike you, but in our family, your mommy is the most important. Never do anything to worry or anger her again!"

Wen Yuci, "..."

Who talks to their child like that?

But Zhi Xia didn’t feel slighted because, after everything that happened, she liked mommy just as much as daddy did.

Her mommy was not just beautiful but also very kind.

Since Wen Yuci’s ankle was injured, Fu Yunshen didn’t let her stay in the hospital to take care of Mother Wen; he drove her and her daughter back to his villa.

"I want to take Zhi Xia back to my own place."

A lot had happened recently, and although they had cleared up their misunderstandings, neither had brought up getting back together.

Wen Yuci wanted to calm down and think things through.

Fu Yunshen took out a property deed from his briefcase, "The house has been transferred to your name; this is your place now. You and Zhi Xia will live here, and I will arrange for a nanny and a driver."

Wen Yuci, "I don’t need them."

Fu Yunshen glanced at Zhi Xia, "Little July, there’s a Naughty Fort in the basement; go play for a while."

Zhi Xia understood that daddy wanted to speak to mommy alone, and she nodded her head before quickly leaving.

Fu Yunshen pulled Wen Yuci down to sit on the sofa, his long palms tightly holding her slender hands, "Ci Ci, now that the misunderstandings are cleared up, do you still want to keep your distance from me?"

Wen Yuci pressed her lips together, "Fu Yunshen, even after the misunderstandings are cleared up, can we just be together?"

"Our feelings are still there, and we now have a daughter; do you think we can still be separated?"

Wen Yuci cast her eyes downward, "But I can’t forget the humiliation you subjected me to four years ago."

Back then, his words and actions were like a sharp knife stabbing into her heart.

Although a long time had passed and those wounds had turned into scars, they still ached when remembered!

Fu Yunshen thought about what he had done to her in the past, and his brows furrowed deeply.

"I hated too much back then," he said, seemingly recalling something as he looked towards her pale neck, "What about the ring you always wore around your neck?"

He had thrown her ring into the pool, and she, not minding the cold of the deep night, had jumped right in after it.

Her attachment to the ring, even now when he thought about it, it still infuriated him.

Wen Yuci withdrew her hand from his grasp, her voice hoarse, "I threw it away."

After learning that Little July was still alive, she had thrown the ring away.

Wen Yuci did not hide the truth from Fu Yunshen, "Did you think it was a ring given to me by another man? I thought I had lost our daughter, and that ring was made from her ashes."

Fu Yunshen, on hearing this, was silent for a long time.

The crimson lips were pressed into a tight line, and she felt even more how excessive she had been!

Fu Yunshen stretched out his long arm and pulled Wen Yuci tightly into his embrace.

His thin lips brushed against her ear as he said in a low, husky voice, "I’m sorry."

Wen Yuci lifted her head from the man’s chest, her hands bracing against it, "Do you really still want to be with me?"

"Ci Ci, except for you, I’ve never truly wanted to be with anyone else."

Wen Yuci pursed her lips and said, "After all, we haven’t been together for so many years, and even four years ago, it was an unpleasant experience; let’s just take some time to adapt to each other!"

"Plus, you need to show me your sincerity."

Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows, "Hmm, what do you mean?"

"When we were younger, I seem to have been confused into being with you, have you ever truly pursued me?"

Fu Yunshen, "Ci Ci, our daughter is already eight years old, isn’t it unnecessary to pursue you again?"

Wen Yuci’s delicate face tightened, and she glared at him unhappily, "Then let’s not be together."

Fu Yunshen compromised helplessly, "Alright, I promise you."

...

That night, after Zhi Xia had taken her bath, Wen Yuci lay on the bed and read a book with her.

Zhi Xia looked at Wen Yuci’s refined and serene face and whispered, "Mommy, actually daddy is really nice, don’t reject him. I still hope you two can get married soon, so we can become a real family of three!"

Wen Yuci looked up at Zhi Xia and had to admit, she felt a bit jealous.

The girl had spent much less time with Fu Yunshen than she had, yet her feelings for daddy were quite deep.

"Did you like him very much before you knew he was your daddy?"

Zhi Xia bit her lip and recounted an incident from four years ago.

"I used to be arrogant and rude to others. Once I cursed a few little boys outside, and they weren’t afraid of me at all. Rolling up their sleeves, they were about to hit me, but daddy stepped in and stopped them."

"Although he only spoke a simple phrase, and perhaps didn’t even see who I was at the time, I felt right then that he wasn’t a bad uncle."

Wen Yuci nodded thoughtfully.

So there was such a history between father and daughter.

Zhi Xia, seeing Wen Yuci looking jealous, stepped forward, her pale arms encircling her, and pecked her face twice with her rosy little lips.

"Mommy, you are the one I like the most now, so please don’t be jealous of daddy!"

Wen Yuci hugged Zhi Xia, "Mommy loves you too."

...

The next day.

When Wen Yuci and Zhi Xia got to the dining area, the servant had already prepared breakfast.

Fu Yunshen had the servants from her apartment come over.

"After breakfast, I’ll take Little July to school; you rest at home. If you want to go to the hospital, have the driver take you."

Wen Yuci nodded.

This return trip, she had no intention of leaving again.

She was planning to set up a photography studio. After visiting her mother at the hospital, she would work on things for the studio.

As the breakfast was coming to an end, Fu Yunshen’s phone vibrated.

Wen Yuci, sitting beside him, noticed his phone was on her left side; she glanced at it casually.

It was Cheng Yingying calling.

Seeing the caller ID display, her heart tightened slightly.
