Chapter 184: Chapter 182: The Feeling of Life

Fu Jinghen looked down and suddenly felt a surge of heat rising in his heart. He fiddled with his tie, turned his head to one side, and looked out the window.

A while later, just when Wen Qiao thought he would no longer pay her any attention, she suddenly heard him chuckle lightly, "You two really match well."

Wen Qiao: "..."

Just speak if you want to speak.

Why the sarcasm?

The car drove for more than an hour and finally stopped in front of Xiao Xiang Pavilion.

Xiao Xiang Pavilion serves authentic Jiang City cuisine, but the owner is a bit quirky, serving only ten tables a day. Customers are not differentiated by status but by order of arrival; no matter who you are, if you didn’t make a reservation, you can’t dine here.

The interior decoration of the restaurant is close to the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and a sense of history hits you as soon as you enter.

Walking over a wooden bridge, the winding corridor in the middle has a rockery from which water cascades down, and the pond in the center is filled with blooming lotus flowers. The heat of summer seems to dissipate instantly, making one feel refreshed and delighted.

Although Jiang City is a major metropolis, it also has many ancient buildings, mostly located in the suburbs, far from the hustle and bustle of the city center, creating a sanctuary.

From the moment Wen Qiao entered, her eyes never stopped moving. She looked here and there, unconsciously slowing her pace. Fu Jinghen didn’t rush her.

Seeing that Wen Qiao could hardly take it all in, as if wishing she had another pair of eyes, he couldn’t help but smile and asked, "Do you like this place?"

"I do," Wen Qiao replied honestly. Just then, they passed a corridor where a carved lantern was hanging, its red tassels hanging down. Wen Qiao unconsciously reached out and fiddled with it, "The person who designed this courtyard must be someone with great taste and depth."

Fu Jinghen paused for a moment, and asked nonchalantly, "Why do you say that?"

Wen Qiao thought hard for a while, realizing that her limited vocabulary couldn’t quite express what she wanted to say, so she simply spoke her mind, "Actually, I’m not very fond of such ancient architecture. I watched too many horror movies as a child and always feel these old houses are creepy. I’m afraid that at any moment, a ghostly woman wearing embroidered shoes and with disheveled hair might appear, mumbling ’return my life to me’ or something."

As she spoke, Wen Qiao even asked Fu Jinghen, "Can you picture that?"

Wen Qiao didn’t seem to need Fu Jinghen’s answer, continuing on her own, "But this place, I think it’s very warm, there’s a feeling of life here."

Thinking of something, Wen Qiao lowered her head and laughed, "I remember when I was little, my parents took me to my grandmother’s house in the countryside. There was also a pond in the village, full of lotus flowers and leaves, very beautiful."

Up ahead, there was a small step that one could easily miss if not paying attention, Fu Jinghen cautioned, "There’s a step ahead, be careful."

Wen Qiao nodded and responded with an "Okay."

Fu Jinghen hadn’t specifically inquired about Wen Qiao’s family background, but he had heard a thing or two from Fu Qiang. When Wen Qiao was very young, another woman with her son moved into Wen Feng’s life. Later, Jiang Lai was hospitalized due to distress and her health deteriorated and eventually, Jiang Lai and Wen Feng got divorced, and soon after that woman became the new lady of the Wen Family.

Fu Jinghen didn’t know how Wen Qiao managed in the days that followed, but from what he heard now, before that woman appeared, Wen Qiao too had had a happy family.
