Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 489 - Chapter 489 Chapter 487 His Revenge

Chapter 489: Chapter 487: His Revenge Chapter 489: Chapter 487: His Revenge Wen Yuci hastily helped Mother Wen back to her own hospital room.

Mother Wen looked at Wen Yuci’s delicate and ethereal face, feeling distressed and unwilling to accept the situation.

She had carefully groomed her from a young age, aiming for her to become the most outstanding socialite in the capital.

And Yuci had indeed made her proud, being obedient and well-behaved from childhood, and skilled in all arts such as music, chess, literature, and painting.

As she grew older, she became even more beautiful and alluring, graceful and dignified.

Everyone envied her for having such an excellent daughter.

But what she did not expect was that Yuci would prematurely get involved with Fu Yunshen beyond what was acceptable.

When it was found out that Fu Yunshen was not the heir of the Fu Family, everyone laughed at the Wen family.

Yet she insisted on following Yunshen, eager for an unbreakable bond.

She was only eighteen, naive and ignorant!

What claim did a penniless nobody have on her?

Had she painstakingly nurtured her for all those years just for her to marry someone like Fu Yunshen, who had nothing?

Years had passed, and she was still in contact with Yunshen!

The more Mother Wen thought about it, the angrier she became, her chest pained and her head really began to feel dizzy.

Wen Yuci took care of Mother Wen in the hospital for several days.

Seeing Yuci caring for her attentively and not contacting Yunshen, Mother Wen felt somewhat relieved.

After Mother Wen was discharged, she took Yuci’s hand and said with heartfelt earnestness, “Ci Ci, Ziyuan is sincere towards you. Don’t be picky anymore, be with him properly!”

Wen Yuci didn’t want to say anything that would upset Mother Wen, so she changed the subject, “Next month we can visit the prison. Let’s go see Dad together!”

Mother Wen nodded, “Okay.”

Leaving the Wen Residence, Wen Yuci took out her phone to check it.

A couple of days ago, she had secretly sent Fu Yunshen a message, telling him that her mother was hospitalized and that she didn’t have time to meet him in the hospital, but he hadn’t replied.

Wen Yuci felt quite anxious.

Every time he returned from a business trip, if she didn’t go to see him, he would get angry.

And then, he would punish her severely.

This time, she hadn’t picked him up from the airport and hadn’t contacted him for several days, yet he hadn’t made a move?

An anomaly indicated something was amiss.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy Yuci felt.

Fu Yunshen was no longer the cool but pampering youth of the past.

He hated her to the bone.

Despite being married and having a child, he still chose to get back at her in the way she loathed the most.

Wen Yuci just hoped to end this abnormal relationship as soon as possible.

But in the meantime, she didn’t dare to offend him.

She feared that in a moment of irrationality, he might do something that she couldn’t bear.

After thinking it over, Yuci still decided to take the initiative to call him.

As the phone rang, with each tone, Wen Yuci’s heart would beat faster.

After a long wait, just when Yuci thought no one would answer, the call connected.

“Fu Yunshen…”

“Miss Wen? This is President Fu’s assistant.”

Yuci was taken aback, “Assistant Xu?”

“Yes.”

“Where is President Fu?”

“President Fu is attending a social event. He asked you to come over.”

When Fu Yunshen attended banquets, he rarely asked Wen Yuci to accompany him as his date.

However, there was one occasion when his secretary didn’t follow him, and Yuci had been his date.

Thinking it was a similar business dinner as the last time, Yuci didn’t think much of it, “Where is it? I’ll come over shortly.”

“I’ll come pick up Miss Wen, and then take you to get your makeup and change into a gown.”

“Okay.”

After Assistant Xu picked up Wen Yuci, he took her to a flagship store of a designer gown brand.

The makeup artist was already waiting there.

She gave Wen Yuci an exquisite makeup look, and the stylist picked out a black strapless gown for her.

The gown was form-fitting, beautifully outlining Wen Yuci’s slender figure.

With her swan-like neck, square shoulders, and a collarbone deep enough to cradle fish, she looked absolutely perfect, gorgeous, and subtly sexy in this strapless dress.

Her long hair was styled into big waves, with flaming red lips, she embodied both the innocence of a fairy and the enticing allure of a temptress.

When Wen Yuci stepped out holding up her gown, Assistant Xu outside was stunned for a few seconds.

Realizing his rudeness, Assistant Xu quickly averted his gaze.

Assistant Xu opened the car door for Wen Yuci, “Miss Wen, please get in the car.”

Assistant Xu drove to the Imperial Palace Club.

As Wen Yuci got out of the car, a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes, “Is the banquet being held here?”

Assistant Xu nodded, “Yes.”

Assistant Xu escorted Wen Yuci towards the largest private room.

Along the way, many people who saw Wen Yuci cast admiring glances at her.

Under the light, Wen Yuci’s skin glowed with a luminescent white, her slender and fair arms exposed, the lines perfectly sculpted.

After knocking on the private room door, Assistant Xu pushed it open.

The room was filled with swirling smoke and clinking glasses, with continuous low laughter.

It wasn’t any sort of banquet, but a gathering.

Wen Yuci felt something was off; if it wasn’t a banquet, why had she been asked to dress so formally?

There were over a dozen men and women seated on the sofas in the private room, some playing mahjong, others playing billiards.

Fu Yunshen was sitting at the card table, playing cards. He was dressed in a finely crafted black shirt and black trousers, his long legs elegantly crossed, a cigarette held between his slender fingertips.

His handsome and refined profile was shrouded in the drifting smoke, his enigmatic phoenix eyes beneath the lenses seemed inscrutable. While everyone else in the room turned their gaze towards the door, he didn’t spare her a glance.

He seemed aloof, indifferent, and unshaken.

Since their reunion, Wen Yuci had been unable to fathom Fu Yunshen’s thoughts.

“Miss Wen, President Fu is over there, you can go directly to him.”

Assistant Xu then closed the door of the private room.

Wen Yuci’s beauty was renowned throughout the capital.

But many had only heard of it and had never witnessed it firsthand.

Now that they saw her in person, they were inevitably dazzled.

Wen Yuci didn’t appreciate the way those young masters looked at her, their glances frivolous, as if she were some delectable object on display.

Wen Yuci clenched the purse in her hand as she walked toward Fu Yunshen.

When Fu Yunshen saw her approaching, a shallow and faint smile surfaced beneath his phoenix eyes.

Seeing his somewhat gentle expression, Wen Yuci’s tense heartstrings relaxed a little.

Maybe she was just overthinking.

Her mother had been sick, and she’d stayed at home to care for her a few days, not getting in touch with him promptly. He should understand that, right?

Wen Yuci intended to pull up a chair, but in the next second, Fu Yunshen caught her wrist, and she stumbled into his arms.

About twenty or thirty people in the private room witnessed him openly holding her, and due to Wen Yuci’s upbringing, she could not bring herself to be so bold.

She struggled to get out of his embrace.

He didn’t stop her.

The ash on his cigarette was getting long. He tapped it into the ashtray and squinted his phoenix eyes at Wen Yuci, “You look really beautiful today.”

Instead of feeling flattered by his compliment, Wen Yuci felt an unease and uneasiness in her heart.

“Fu Yunshen, what did you ask me to come here for?”

Fu Yunshen took a drag on his cigarette, his thin lips curving into a smile that, although seemingly cheerful, exuded extreme danger.
