Chapter 142: Farewell (Part II)

~8 min read 1,566 words

Chen Che came to the Cheng Family back garden once again, only this time he was truly here for a stroll, and with a beauty to keep him company.

At dusk, the sky was gradually dyed a faint orange-red, and the afterglow of the setting sun spilled over every inch of the back garden, draping this tranquil corner in a gentle cloak.

Chen Che walked in the middle with Cheng Kexin by his side, the two of them walking slowly along the winding path, surrounded by lush vegetation and blooming flowers that emitted a faint fragrance.

Their pace was not hurried, but the overall atmosphere was heavy, and neither of them said a word.

After walking for a while longer, Chen Che finally couldn't help it; he stopped his feet and said, "Senior Sister, you don't have to be like this; it's not like we'll never see each other again!"

After Chen Che said he was going to say goodbye, Cheng Kexin didn't ask much, but instead suggested they go for a walk in the back garden together.

But this walk had lasted half an hour, during which they hadn't spoken, which led to the scene just now.

"I know, and I'm not sad. I'm just a bit unwilling; you're going to find your enemy for revenge, and I can't help at all."

Cheng Kexin smiled and straightened Chen Che's clothes, then suddenly remembered something and said, "It seems it's not that I can't help at all. I met a friend when I went to Jinling on a business trip before. If you want to investigate the Vermilion Bird and the Martial Arts Alliance, you can ask her for help. I'll send her contact information to your phone."

Chen Che nodded: "That's great!"

Cheng Kexin looked at Chen Che and smiled, a smile that made Chen Che feel completely uneasy.

"Senior Sister, if you have something to say, just say it; you're scaring me like this."

Chen Che said with a wry smile.

"Since you're leaving, shouldn't we do something?"

Cheng Kexin's words were startling.

Chen Che was taken aback, looked left and right, and discovered the other members of the Cheng Family peeking from the pavilion, feeling a bit apprehensive.

Cheng Kexin sensed Chen Che's thoughts and teased, "Scared? That doesn't seem like your style."

"People change, you know."

Chen Che said with a sheepish smile.

Cheng Kexin decided not to tease him anymore, instead grabbing his collar and pulling him toward her.

"Mmph!"

The two kissed, startling the insects and butterflies in the garden into flight.

This scene was seen exactly by Cheng Honglin, Cheng Weijun, and his wife Hou Huili, who were hiding in the back garden pavilion, as well as Cheng Kexin.

They all widened their eyes, their faces full of excitement and thrill.

"Heh... hehe..."

Cheng Kexin shed two lines of crystalline tears and sniffled hard; she laughed and cried for a while, trying many times but unable to suppress the emotions in her heart.

She suddenly remembered the time she was drunk at the bar; although it was absurd, looking back on it, it felt very happy.

At least in her dreams, she had been his woman!

Cheng Kexin gave a desolate smile, turned, and left, secretly vowing that she must become a better version of herself so that when they met again, she would definitely make Chen Che look at her with admiration!

"Who is a couple with whom? Kexin has always said she is Chen Che's woman, so why is Kexin also..."

Cheng Weijun looked at Cheng Kexin's retreating back in disbelief, then looked at the two embracing in the garden, unable to accept the scene before him.

"It seems both of my granddaughters like Chen Che, and by the looks of it, they have both fallen quite deeply."

Cheng Honglin narrowed his bright, spirited eyes and stated his conclusion.

"My two daughters liking the same man, what kind of situation is this?! Dad, aren't you going to do something about it?!"

As a father, Cheng Weijun still found it hard to accept.

Cheng Honglin waved his hand and turned to leave: "I am old; I don't understand the affairs of young people, so I won't get involved."

Watching Cheng Honglin leave, Cheng Weijun looked at his wife Hou Huili and asked: "Don't you want to say something?"

Hou Huili said thoughtfully: "We have to accept reality."

"Pfft!"

Cheng Weijun nearly spat out a mouthful of blood and said incredulously: "What are you saying?! Is that how a mother acts!"

"We have both seen Chen Che's excellence; he is too stunning!"

Hou Huili said slowly: "When a person is young, they shouldn't meet someone too stunning, otherwise it will be etched into their bones and unforgettable for a lifetime."

"Clearly, our daughters met such a person at a young age. It's hard to say if it's luck or misfortune, but one thing is certain: even if Chen Che leaves, there will be no room for other men in their hearts in the future."

"Sigh~"

Cheng Weijun let out a heavy sigh; even if he was reluctant and unwilling in his heart, he had to accept reality.

Because he felt his wife was right; Chen Che was too stunning and too excellent!

There was no girl who wouldn't like or admire such a man!

The sun set behind the western hills.

After leaving the Cheng Family, Chen Che returned to the villa on Fugui Road, deciding to have dinner with Fu Lang's family.

The dinner did not go happily; Fu Lang, Gao Huiwen, and Fu Yanyan's moods hit rock bottom after learning that Chen Che was leaving tomorrow.

Fu Lang and Gao Huiwen were fine; they both knew Chen Che had important things to do, so naturally, they had no reason to stop him and could only offer more care and advice.

Fu Yanyan was not; she kept her head down throughout the meal, eating bowl after bowl, her tears falling into the bowl until they could almost be drunk as soup.

"Xiao Che, your Uncle Fu and I have something to do, so we're going out for a bit. You and Yanyan have a good chat."

After finishing the meal, Gao Huiwen immediately pulled her husband Fu Lang out to create an opportunity for Chen Che and Fu Yanyan to be alone.

After the two left, the servants also withdrew, leaving only Chen Che and Fu Yanyan for a moment.

"Yanyan..."

Chen Che was just about to speak when he was interrupted by Fu Yanyan.

"Brother Chen Che, come with me; I have something to show you."

After saying this, Fu Yanyan walked into the bedroom without looking back.

Chen Che had a premonition, but some things had to be made clear, so he followed her inside as well.

After entering Fu Yanyan's bedroom, Chen Che could no longer find Fu Yanyan.

Chen Che assumed she had gone to the restroom, so he sat on the bed and waited quietly.

"Swish..."

After a while, the bathroom door slid open, and Fu Yanyan walked out barefoot.

"Yanyan, you wanted to show me—"

Chen Che choked on his words, his eyes widening into perfect circles as he stared at Fu Yanyan without blinking.

"Brother Chen Che..."

Fu Yanyan was wearing a maid outfit; she walked softly in front of Chen Che, slowly knelt on the floor, her face flushed with shyness, and called out in a cloying voice.

"Yanyan, what are you doing?!"

Chen Che could not sit still; he stood up in a hurry, not daring to look at Fu Yanyan.

Because that maid outfit was too seductive; it was not a standard garment at all, but rather a fetish-style one.

"Brother Chen Che, Master, you are leaving, and I am also going abroad to study. I don't know when we will meet again. But before we part, I don't want to have any regrets. I like you, please accept me!"

Fu Yanyan was on the verge of tears, pleading bitterly.

Seeing her humble appearance, Chen Che felt both heartache and anger.

He bent down to help her up, looked into her eyes, and said with a stern expression: "Remember, apart from your father, no man in this world is worth you kneeling to, including me!"

Fu Yanyan was startled by Chen Che's stern demeanor and stopped crying.

Chen Che continued: "Yanyan, you must become a better version of yourself, not a man's accessory!"

Also, I am your brother, and you are my sister! My parents are dead, and in this world, you, Uncle Fu, and Gao Ayi are my family, so I cannot desecrate this bond, do you understand?"

Fu Yanyan stared at Chen Che in a daze; it was the first time she had seen him so serious.

So he has always treated me as a sister; this bond truly must not be desecrated!

But I really like him so much!

I'm not reconciled to this, what should I do?

But being a sister is fine too; if we are siblings, no matter how long it takes, we will meet again!

But I must become a better version of myself; how could Chen Che's sister be a vase that looks good but is useless!

Fu Yanyan bit her lip and nodded, saying, "I understand."

Chen Che's expression shifted, his smile doting, and he patted her head.
