Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon's Reluctant Love

Fu Yunshen turned his head to look at Wen Yuci, reaching out to hold her hand in his.

But the very next second, she withdrew her hand.

Fu Yunshen could see she was unhappy.

He started the engine and drove the car away.

Throughout the journey, both of them were rather silent.

Fu Yunshen glanced at Wen Yuci several times, but she just stared out of the car window, her back head facing him. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Are you still jealous over Cheng Yingying?"

Wen Yuci turned to look at the man, "Shouldn’t I be?"

Fu Yunshen’s thin lips curled into a smile, "You should."

Seeing that the man offered no explanation, Wen Yuci felt a mix of emotions stirring within her.

She pursed her lips, "Stop the car. I don’t want to be with you today."

Fu Yunshen freed one hand from the steering wheel and took Wen Yuci’s hand, but the next second, she shook it off.

He reached out again, but she shook it off once more.

"Fu Yunshen, I want to get out of the car."

Fu Yunshen turned on the turn signal and parked the car by the side of the road.

Before Wen Yuci could react, the man had already opened the door and gotten out first.

By the time Wen Yuci tried to get out, the man had already locked the car door.

Wen Yuci pushed several times but couldn’t open the door.

She watched the man walking across to the other side of the road, her eyes slightly widening in surprise.

What does he mean?

She wanted to get out, so why did he leave?

Wen Yuci took out her phone and called Fu Yunshen.

After two rings, he picked up.

"What do you mean by locking the car door?"

"Ci Ci, I don’t want to argue with you. I’ll come back in half an hour."

Before Wen Yuci could say anything, the man hung up the phone.

Wen Yuci’s face fell, furious beyond words.

If he didn’t come over and she couldn’t open the door, Wen Yuci could only wait inside the car.

At first, she was really angry, to the point where she was tempted to smash the car window.

But as time passed, the rage slowly dissipated.

The sky darkened, and the streetlights along the road lit up one by one.

Wen Yuci sat with her cheek propped in her hand, looking out the car window, as a whirlwind of memories bloomed in her mind about all she and Fu Yunshen had been through.

The feeling of jealousy in her heart was gradually replaced by heartache.

She was by no means unaware of the many hardships and pains he had been through on his journey.

Knowing that he and Cheng Yingying were innocent, she couldn’t help but take her anger out on him.

What for?

Why not just ask him straight out?

Fu Yunshen returned after half an hour.

When he came back, he brought a bottle of water for Wen Yuci.

Wen Yuci took it, drank a few sips, and then looked at him, "Do you think I’m mad at you because you answered Cheng Yingying’s call?"

Fu Yunshen knew she had more to say, his phoenix eyes, dark and deep beneath the glasses, were fixed on her.

"I heard today that you gave Cheng Yingying an investment of ten billion to start her studio."

Fu Yunshen paused for a moment, then nodded.

Seeing him admit it so readily, Wen Yuci didn’t know whether to be happy or distressed.

Ten billion!

He gave it directly to Cheng Yingying; to claim Cheng Yingying held no place in his heart, she truly didn’t believe that!

Wen Yuci tried to be generous, but deep down, she still felt an inexplicable sourness.

Fu Yunshen looked at Wen Yuci, her long lashes lowered. He reached out and pulled her into his embrace.

"Three years ago, I had a car accident while on a business trip in the Middle East. Cheng Yingying canceled all her filming engagements and came to take care of me for a month."

"Originally, it was because she resembled you that I endorsed her. After getting to know her, she proved to be a grounded and intelligent person. Even at my wedding, she didn’t make a scene."

"I knew what she wanted—to not have me but to hold onto her career. Since she had needs, things were easy to handle. I gave her one billion and cut off all ties with her."

"From now on, she won’t call me anymore, and I’ve blacklisted her contact. Ci Ci, I know what you’re worried about. In my heart, there has never been another woman but you."

"Cheng Yingying can be bought off with money, and there won’t be another woman like her in my life anymore."

"I only have you, and I only want you."

Fu Yunshen bowed his head and kissed the woman’s forehead, "Don’t doubt my sincerity for you anymore, okay?"

Hearing Fu Yunshen’s words, Wen Yuci’s eyes welled up with thin mists of tears.

She raised her hands and hugged the man tightly.

Today, when she heard that he gave Cheng Yingying one billion to start her studio, she truly felt jealous and heartbroken.

She loved him equally and wanted him to have only her in his heart.

She never knew her own possessiveness could be so strong.

"Yunshen, thank you."

Thank you for still loving me all these years!

It was not easy for them to reconcile and come back together.

From now on, she would cherish it dearly.

Fu Yunshen lifted the woman’s face gently, his fingertips wiping away the tear that slid down from her eye.

"Thank me for what? I should be thanking you."

When she was still a young girl, she chose to give birth to his daughter.

How much love did it take to do such a foolish thing?

Thinking this, Fu Yunshen hugged the woman closer into his arms, tightening his embrace as if he wanted to merge her into his very bones and blood.

Wen Yuci’s face was pressed tightly against his chest, and she could hardly breathe.

"Fu Yunshen, loosen your grip a bit, I can’t breathe."

Upon hearing this, he loosened his hold on her slightly.

But the next second, he lifted her chin and kissed her fiercely.

He only let her go when she was almost out of breath.

Their foreheads touched, both breathing slightly heavily.

"We’re not far from your apartment, shall we go there?"

Wen Yuci naturally understood the meaning behind the man’s words, her heart racing a bit faster.

"Let’s go back to the villa instead, Zhi Xia is still waiting for us at home."

Fu Yunshen hummed lowly, "I’ll go to your room tonight."

Wen Yuci glared at the man, "I’m a bit reluctant to let you catch up to me so quickly."

Fu Yunshen pinched her porcelain-white cheek, "My life will be yours from now on."

...

Wen Yuci and Fu Yunshen reconciled.

Watching this couple, who almost became enemies, finally come together, Ming Yao felt happy for them.

After administering acupuncture to Mother Wen again, Ming Yao said to Wen Yuci, "Aunt Wen should wake up very soon."

Wen Yuci was overjoyed.

However, Wen Yuci noticed that since Ming Yao mentioned her mother would soon wake up, Fu Yunshen stopped coming to the hospital.

Wen Yuci felt uneasy in her heart.

Although she and Fu Yunshen had reconciled, the relationship between him and her mother was like fire and water.

Her mother was pragmatic and harsh, and when she found out Fu Yunshen was not the young master of the Fu Family, she forced them to break up—beating the lovebirds apart.

If she were in his shoes, she wouldn’t like her mother either.

Wen Yuci wouldn’t force Fu Yunshen, nor would she try to mediate the relations between him and her mother.

Honestly, she felt a gulf in her heart towards her mother too; even if her mother woke up, the relationship between mother and daughter could never return to what it was before.

Mother Wen awoke in the evening. After regaining consciousness, she looked around the hospital ward with a hoarse voice and asked, "Has Fu Yunshen not come?"

Wen Yuci paused, "You don’t like him, why should he come?"

Mother Wen’s eyes flashed with complexity, "Even though I’ve been unconscious all this time, I could still hear the voices in the ward. Fu Yunshen came to visit me quietly several times when you were not here, asking me to wake up soon and not to keep making you sad."
