I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 279: Then Cancel the Engagement

Wen Zhuo winced and covered his cheek, looking at Huo Shiyuan and said, "You can’t blame me for this. When I was eighteen or nineteen, living with you, there were photos of Little Xi’s sister all over your house. You always talked about Little Xi’s sister. I was already deeply impressed by her. Until a few days ago, she came to A City with her grandfather for medical treatment. We had a chance encounter, and I was instantly invested in my feelings for her."

Huo Shiyuan frowned tightly, holding back the urge to punch Wen Zhuo in the face again, watching him take the ice pack handed over by the aunt.

Wen Zhuo placed the ice pack on his face that had been hit by Huo Shiyuan, continuing to explain: "I met Li Ping around May or June, and indeed, I was attracted by her face, which actually looked more like Yuan Xi from her high school photos at the time.

But after spending time with Li Ping, I realized that my liking for Little Xi’s sister is probably just an adolescent yearning to have the person you like.

In the months I’ve been with Li Ping, I’ve never treated her as Little Xi’s sister; I’ve only ever seen her as Li Ping."

Fu Qin scoffed, "Wen Zhuo, your reason for liking someone is truly absurd."

Wen Zhuo said helplessly, "You probably haven’t been to Huo Shiyuan’s estate in the United States, the house that is full of photos of Little Xi’s sister."

Wen Zhuo looked at Fu Qin and said, "Actually, I was planning to tell you in a few days, I want to cancel our engagement. I can’t possibly let Li Ping, with a face that closely resembles Yuan Xi, be my mistress outside."

Fu Qin felt relieved, "OK, then let’s cancel the engagement."

Wen Zhuo looked at Huo Shiyuan, "I’m sorry, I did have inappropriate thoughts before, but I can assure you now, I have no intentions or thoughts about your wife, I am now in love with Li Ping. I know where this photo came from, it was taken by Fu Qin’s little boyfriend, right? I met him when Li Ping and I were skiing, I had no intention of keeping it a secret."

Fu Qin looked at Huo Shiyuan, "A picture taken by Liang Hao?"

Huo Shiyuan nodded, "Yeah."

Fu Qin scoffed, "I’ll go find him in Jiang City!"

Huo Shiyuan watched Fu Qin leave, and he did not linger in Wen Zhuo’s home much longer, returning to his own place.

Yuan Xi, seeing Huo Shiyuan return, asked, "Are you okay?"

Huo Shiyuan looked at Yuan Xi, "I’m fine. Fu Qin and Wen Zhuo have already canceled their engagement."

Yuan Xi said, "That’s good then. Little Hao still has hope. You and Wen Zhuo..."

Huo Shiyuan reached out and tightly held Yuan Xi’s waist, "Not all friends in life are meant to walk with you till the end."

Even if Wen Zhuo assured that he had no more thoughts about Yuan Xi, just the fact that Wen Zhuo’s current girlfriend still looked like Yuan Xi was enough for Huo Shiyuan to cut off all ties with him.

Yuan Xi said, "Indeed."

The weather in October was still very hot, with consecutive long holidays for the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival.

Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan took their two children, along with Xiao Shihuo, now a first-grader, for a vacation on a private island.

Liang Suisui also mentioned wanting to come with Ye Huan, so Yuan Xi simply invited Chen Yuan, Shi Lei, and Liang Hao as well.

Lele and An An were excited about their first encounter with the sea, initially a bit afraid of the sand. After playing for a while, they were no longer resistant to it.

Since both children were at the age where they loved to put everything in their mouths, Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan could not afford to be careless for a moment.

Xiao Shihuo stood in front of the sea, speaking solemnly: "First grade isn’t fun at all. I want to go back to kindergarten; I don’t want to be in first grade."

Liang Suisui chuckled, "What a coincidence, I also want to go back to kindergarten."

Shi Lei followed, "Me too, life in kindergarten is the life."

Chen Yuan spoke with a meaningful tone to Xiao Shihuo, "Little Xiao Huo, cherish your first grade now, because when you’re in second grade, you will miss the first grade. Growing up doesn’t feel good at all; you should take your time growing up."

Liang Hao: "Growing up isn’t necessarily a bad thing; I just think it’s happening too slowly."

Liang Suisui said: "Cherish the days when you’re in school. Once you graduate, you’ll realize how treacherous life can be."

Liang Hao said: "At least after graduation, I can prove that I have the ability, and I can get a bit closer to her... At least I’ll be a few years older, which might make her not see me as so childish."

Liang Suisui patted Liang Hao on the shoulder, "The world is full of potential new romances, why fixate on Fu Qin alone?"

Liang Hao looked down and said: "Suisui, I only like her. No matter how attractive the other options might be, I only like Fu Qin."

Ye Huan sat between Liang Hao and Liang Suisui, "The Fu Qin you’re talking about, is she the sister of Fu Yixian?"

"Yes," said Liang Suisui to Ye Huan, "Isn’t my little brother admirably courageous?"

Ye Huan said: "Indeed."

The private island was buzzing with more people; at night, a bonfire burned on the beach where everyone could relax for a moment with barbecue and singing.

After the two children had fallen asleep, Yuan Xi had some barbecue, then walked to the quiet beach behind the house, gazing at the brilliant starry sky. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Huo Shiyuan came up to Yuan Xi, draping a jacket over her shoulders: "What are you thinking about?"

Yuan Xi said: "Xiao Shihuo just mentioned he wanted to go back to kindergarten. Actually, I quite miss those times too. Back then, I had my parents and no busy work. I could play carefree with my friends."

Huo Shiyuan said: "I don’t want to go back to kindergarten at all because back then I could only see you on holidays. Growing up is great; I can be with you every day."

Yuan Xi chuckled softly: "That’s true, only by growing up could we have Lele and Anan."

Huo Shiyuan: "Just Lele and Anan?"

"And you," Yuan Xi felt that in the future she must treat both children equally and even had to maintain that balance with Huo Shiyuan.

Huo Shiyuan lay down on the lounge chair next to Yuan Xi, pulling her into his embrace. Together they gazed at the vast starry sky, enjoying the serene cosmos that belonged just to the two of them.

Inside the Fu Mansion.

After having dinner with the grandparents of the Fu Family, Fu Yixian returned to Yunsen Court.

When Fu Yixian entered the house, he saw Ren Tian lifting her shirt to breastfeed the child, and he averted his gaze hastily, frowning slightly: "The child can drink formula milk."

Ren Tian said: "Breast milk provides the most resistance."

Fu Yixian didn’t argue with Ren Tian. Regarding what he had inadvertently seen moments before, he tried to shake off the image from his mind as much as possible.

Ren Tian, looking at her daughter in her arms and then at the receding back of Fu Yixian heading towards his study, picked up her phone and started scrolling through videos. She saw a video shot by a netizen of Gu Hanchen appearing at Melbourne Airport during the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays to visit his newlywed wife. In the video, Gu Hanchen and his wife were hugging each other affectionately, quickly becoming a trending topic with over two hundred thousand likes.

Ren Tian, watching the indifferent Gu Hanchen from her past embracing his delicate wife, clicked on the comments to read them.

"It’s great to be rich. He probably meets up more for his international romance than we do for a long-distance relationship."

"It’s said that Mr. Gu’s wife flies back on private jets to see him every weekend when she’s off work. That’s truly a grand love."

"Now I know why Mi Chen’s game skins are so expensive. It turns out the money is contributing to Mr. Gu and his wife’s international love affair’s private jet fuel costs."
