Chapter 485: Fei Yunzong

"Mr. Fei."

Shen Jingjing raised a smile to greet him: "Sorry, have you been waiting long?"

"No, I just arrived." No matter how much Fei Yunzong's heart fluctuated, he remained composed on the surface. After all, he was a person who had been in the business world for a long time; keeping a straight face was the most basic skill for such people.

"Do you still have things to finish? I can wait for you," Fei Yunzong said.

Shen Jingjing shook her head: "No rush, I can finish them when I come back this afternoon. Shall we go?"

"Okay, the car is outside."

By the side of the road, a clean Mercedes-Benz was parked there. The driver was standing by the car door waiting. Seeing Chairman Fei come out, he hurriedly stepped forward to open the door.

Fei Yunzong raised his hand to block the top of the door frame: "Watch your head."

"Thank you."

After Shen Jingjing got into the car, Fei Yunzong walked around to the other side and sat in.

"I..." Fei Yunzong looked at Shen Jingjing and asked tentatively: "Can I call you Jingjing?"

Shen Jingjing was slightly stunned, then suddenly smiled: "Of course you can, Mr. Fei doesn't need to be so formal."

"My full name is Fei Yunzong." After saying this, he looked at Shen Jingjing with anticipation.

Shen Jingjing moved her mouth, but in the end, she just awkwardly licked her lips: "I'd better call you Mr. Fei first."

"Okay, no rush." Fei Yunzong smiled and looked at the driver: "Old Wu, go to 'Xingji'."

"Xingji" was a high-end private kitchen restaurant that only received guests of wealth and status. It was usually extremely difficult to book, and today Fei Yunzong had used his connections to cut the line to get a spot.

After entering the shop, Shen Jingjing was very glad she had dressed up today; otherwise, she would have been embarrassed to enter such an elegant restaurant.

When they were seated, Fei Yunzong even pulled out the chair for her himself, every move showing the style of a gentleman.

"Chairman Fei, are you drinking the stored wine from before or opening a new bottle today?" the waiter stepped forward to ask politely.

Fei Yunzong looked at Shen Jingjing: "You have work to finish this afternoon, how about we just drink juice today?"

"Okay." Shen Jingjing smiled and nodded.

Women's minds are sensitive and delicate, and they are easily moved by many small details. At the very least, from their meeting until now, Fei Yunzong's performance had been very appropriate, making Shen Jingjing feel very comfortable.

"Bring this lady a glass of freshly squeezed apple juice, and a glass of sake for me."

"Okay, no problem."

"Mr. Fei." Shen Jingjing took the initiative to speak, first smiling apologetically, then adding: "Thank you for the flowers you've been sending me these days, but please don't send them anymore, okay?"

Hearing this, Fei Yunzong's expression stiffened slightly, and his heart sank: "Did I... cause you trouble? I'm really sorry. I just wanted to use the flowers to express my feelings for you. If you don't like them, I won't send them anymore, but I still hope you can give us a chance to continue trying to get to know each other."

He thought that by Shen Jingjing telling him not to send flowers, she was rejecting him.

"You misunderstood. It's just that there are more and more flowers, and there's really no place to put them. Of course I'm happy to receive flowers, but don't be so extravagant and wasteful; my office is almost a flower shop now," Shen Jingjing explained.

Fei Yunzong breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's it. It was my lack of consideration. I understand now; I won't send them every day anymore."

He could change it to sending them once every three or four days, right?

"Thank you anyway. For so many years, other than my few children, no one has ever sent me flowers," Shen Jingjing said sincerely.

Fei Yunzong said with deep affection: "Same here. Since my wife passed away, I've been alone until now."

"I've heard some things; Mr. Fei is a very loyal and righteous person."

The story of Fei Yunzong and his wife was not a secret in the Longcheng circle. After learning that he had started pursuing Shen Jingjing, Deng Xiwen had long ago told Shen Jingjing some of his affairs in advance.

His wife had passed away from uterine cancer. He had not remarried for the sake of his son, and his son had just graduated from college last year.

It was probably the right time, and Shen Jingjing had appeared at this moment; for Fei Yunzong, it was meeting the person he wanted to meet at the right time.

His reputation and word-of-mouth were very good, and his romantic history was very clean, so Deng Xiwen strongly supported Shen Jingjing in trying it out with him.

"Mr. Fei, we are both adults. My agreeing to come out for lunch with you today actually makes my attitude very clear: I am willing to get to know you."

Shen Jingjing hesitated for a moment, then decided to be more direct. She looked at Fei Yunzong with a serious gaze, making the whole atmosphere seem particularly solemn. Fei Yunzong couldn't help but straighten his posture subconsciously, joy welling up in his heart.

Then he heard Shen Jingjing speak softly: "Your affairs are actually not a secret in Longcheng. I heard a general idea from a friend before, and I made my decision based on that."

"Then, for the sake of fairness, I think I have an obligation to inform you of my situation. After all, both of our situations are special. If you are still willing to continue after hearing what I have to say, then shall we try to work on it together?"

Although Shen Jingjing hadn't said anything yet, Fei Yunzong felt a trace of heartache welling up in his heart as he looked at her, because just looking at Shen Jingjing made him feel that she must be a woman with a story.

And the content of the story might not be good.

"Jingjing, actually, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to," he hurriedly said.

Shen Jingjing smiled elegantly and shook her head slightly: "It's okay, I want you to know, and you should know."

With that, Fei Yunzong couldn't help but let out a light breath and nodded: "Then tell me, I'm listening."

Shen Jingjing pondered for a moment, as if thinking about where to start. In the end, she raised her eyes to look at Fei Yunzong opposite her and said straight to the point: "I've never been married. I was pregnant before marriage with the children's father, and the children's grandparents said at the time that I could only marry into the family if I gave birth to a son..."

Recalling this near-tragic past with her current state of mind, Shen Jingjing had long since let it go.

Her tone was soft and soothing, as if she were telling Fei Yunzong someone else's story.

Fei Yunzong listened with his brows furrowed, his heart shocked that this woman, as gentle as water, was so strong, and his eyes were filled with heartache.

Fortunately, the story became warm and happy in the middle. When she spoke of her three children, there was genuine tenderness on her face, and the gloom between Fei Yunzong's brows dissipated accordingly.

Finally, only a happy smile remained on Shen Jingjing's face: "Mr. Fei, that is the story of me and my three children."

Fei Yunzong took a deep breath and picked up the wine on the side to take a sip, allowing himself to calm down.

After a long while, he looked at Shen Jingjing with complex emotions, his voice tinged with a trace of hoarseness: "For so many years, you must have had a very hard time."
