Chapter 258
"I've spent the last five years worrying about my daughter all the time. I can't provide her with a complete home, and I can't ensure her safety or future. I…I'm completely useless…"
She sobbed softly as she leaned against Chu Feng's chest. At that moment, she felt utterly helpless.
Every sob and every word from Yun Muqing was like a knife that pierced Chu Feng's heart, rendering him silent and extremely guilty.
"You have suffered for five years."
He spoke softly, but his voice was sonorous and forceful. "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one can harm either you or your daughter. What the Yun family owes you both, I will return it to you a hundred times, no, a thousand times more! In the days to come, I will protect you."
Yun Muqing suddenly raised her head and asked, "You are not Duo Duo's real father. You can protect her for now, but can you protect her for a lifetime?"
"But…"
Reflexively, Chu Feng blurted out the words, “But I am,” but he could not say them when they came to the tip of his tongue.
He did not have the courage to confront his true identity.
Yun Muqing wiped her tears away and regained some of her senses. She thought it was her own words that had hurt Chu Feng and repeatedly apologized, "I’m sorry, Chu Feng. You've done a lot for us lately.
I shouldn’t have lost control and become angry with you."
Chu Feng wiped away the tears from the woman's eyes and said softly, "I should be the one to apologize."
“I owe you so much for the past five years…” he thought.
"Don't think too much. Just go home for now," Chu Feng said, overcome with emotion.
"Aren't your parents waiting for you to go home for dinner?"
"Mmhm."
Yun Muqing wiped away her tears and nodded. She felt warmth in her heart.
As the saying went, “Home is where the heart is.” Currently, Yun Muqing needed care and comfort from her parents more than anything else.
Yun Muqing composed herself and went to the bathroom to fix her makeup, not wanting her parents to see her tear-stained face.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chu Feng pulled out his phone and dialed a number: "Ma Sanyuan, I need you to do something for me…"
"It is done."
Chu Feng's smile gradually faded after he hung up the phone, there was only coldness left in his eyes…
"Steal my wife’s deal and threaten me with my daughter? You’re willing to do all that, but can you afford to face the consequences?”
Things were just about to get exciting!
…
Chu Feng arrived at Yun Muqing's parents' house an hour later.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back…"
Yun Muqing had just opened the door, and Li Fenglan was there to greet her with a smile. "Oh, my precious daughter is back. I’m so proud of you, my daughter!" she exclaimed happily, taking Yun Muqing’s hand in hers. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
"Come in, everyone knows you negotiated a major deal and are about to be promoted to director Yun Group. They’re here to celebrate your accomplishment." Li Fenglan's face was all smiles.
Yun Muqing was stunned.
Chu Feng looked around the house. The living room was festively decorated with bouquets, streamers, and banners, as though it was someone’s birthday party. There was even a cake.
More than a dozen relatives showered Yun Muqing with compliments. It was very lively.
"Oh, you’re back, Muqing. You’ve grown up to be a beautiful woman. I'm your second aunt. I remember hugging you when you were a small child."
"I’m your second uncle, Muqing. Now that you’re making bank, you shouldn’t forget about me.”
“Muqing isn’t like that! She’s been kind-hearted since she was a child, and she won’t forget to repay any debt of gratitude. My eldest son is getting married and buying a house soon. Remember to help me!”
"That’s Muqing's boyfriend, right? What a perfect match. He is a truly remarkable man."
Yun Muqing was surrounded by relatives, each trying to get a word in, making her face look very embarrassed.
Not only were they flattering Yun Muqing, but they had also praised Chu Feng to the heavens and called him the Yun family's "ideal son-in-law." They took advantage of every opportunity to show off to gain Yun Muqing's favor and make a fortune.
Li Fenglan relished the sensation of being surrounded and sought after by the crowd, which greatly satisfied her vanity.
"My dear daughter, you have now been promoted to director. Come on, take out your promotion letter, and let everyone look at it." Li Fenglan was ecstatic, and every cell in her body swelled with joy and pride.
