Chapter 358 Song Tingwan's Decision

Because of Wen Zixun's matter, Xie He returned from town today. As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw Wen Muchuan and rushed over to slap him on the shoulder.

"Look what big things your good little Liu has done!"

She patted the letter into Wen Muchuan's arms, her eyes still red and her chest heaving as she spoke.

Wen Muchuan rubbed his shoulder with one hand and held the letter in the other, wondering what had happened to make Xie He so angry.

He picked up the letter and read it carefully. By the end, he was trembling all over, and his face turned bright red.

Xie He snorted angrily from the side and poked his chest, "Look at your good son! He really thinks we've lived too long."

"They have to find something to annoy us!"

She initially thought Wen Muchuan was angry like her, but after she finished speaking, Wen Muchuan suddenly grinned and smiled foolishly.

Xie He was startled, thinking he had gone mad with anger, and quickly patted his face, "Honey? What's wrong? Don't scare me!"

Wen Muchuan pulled her hand down and burst into a startling laugh, "You've got guts! You've got guts!"

"Well done, Xiao Liu!"

Xie He laughed in anger, knowing that his youngest son would face a near-certain death if he went to the battlefield.

How can this biological father be so happy?! Does he even have a heart?

Wen Muchuan stopped smiling, took her hand, and said, "Children grow up and have their own ideas."

"Haven't you noticed that Xiao Liu often spaces out when he's home? That's good, at least he knows what he wants to do."

Xie He looked up at him and thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.

She had seen Xiao Liu spacing out several times, always assuming he was just bored and never considered the possibility of it.

So it seems that it's not the father who's heartless; it's the man's biological mother who hasn't been attentive.

In an instant, Xie He understood and calmed down, finally giving in.

"You're so optimistic; that's why I was so worried when I came to visit."

Although she had come to terms with it, she wasn't as happy as Wen Muchuan. She feared that Wen Zixun might lose his life if he wasn't careful.

Dinner was quiet tonight, with everyone mentioning Wen Luozhi and Wen Zixun, who had gone on a long trip, occasionally.

Everyone was tacitly keeping quiet and eating obediently tonight, except for Wen Zizhou, who was the exception.

"Mother, don't worry about Xiao Liu."

"He still has some fighting skills; at most, he might be missing an arm or a leg."

Back home, when he bullied Wen Luozhi, he got beaten up quite a bit by Wen Zixun. So what if he's the older brother? He doesn't hold back at all.

Let alone if the other party is an enemy, they would definitely beat them so badly that their own parents wouldn't recognize them.

Xie He's face darkened instantly, and Song Tingwan's heart tightened as she kicked Wen Zizhou hard under the table.

"Song Tingwan! Why did you kick me?!"

Wen Zizhou, however, was oblivious and looked at Song Tingwan, who was engrossed in eating, with a disgruntled expression.

Song Tingwan looked up and grinned, "Oops, by accident!"

She moved closer to Wen Zizhou and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "If you can't say anything nice again, I'll kick you."

Wen Zizhou felt wronged, and now he obediently shut up and ate his food.

Li Yunwan chuckled to herself, exchanging a knowing glance with Jiang Wan, both secretly delighted.

After dinner, she called Song Tingwan to the courtyard and sat her down in a chair with a serious expression.

"Wan'er, more than half of the two weeks I gave you have already passed."

"Your father wrote to me saying he'll take you back to Qingzhou County in the next couple of days."

Song Tingwan suddenly looked up, a hint of panic in her eyes and on her face. "But...but Wan Niang..."

Wen Zizhou still doesn't know her feelings, how can she be willing to leave?

Li Yunwan sighed softly, feigning worry, "There's nothing I can do. Your father is exhausted from dealing with the mess the Meng family made these days."

"A letter just came from the manor saying that someone has fallen ill; I can't ignore it."

Song Tingwan immediately panicked, unsure whether to reply or not.

Li Yunwan glanced at her secretly and said that Qingzhou County was not short of good young men, and she would find one for her when they returned.

As he spoke, he counted on his fingers, telling her which family's son was handsome, and which family's son was already incredibly wealthy at a young age...

Song Tingwan stood there blankly, not hearing a word. Li Yunwan said to her before she left, "Wan'er, pack your things. We'll leave the day after tomorrow."

"Your father has been missing you a lot since you left."

Song Tingwan nodded weakly, then turned and walked dejectedly into the house.

Li Yunwan felt heartbroken watching her retreating figure, but this was all she could do; otherwise, how much longer would she have to wait?

It can't go on like this and the other person still doesn't know how she feels!

She was given a full day; if that didn't work, she could find another excuse to stay for two more days.

To her surprise, Song Tingwan went directly to Wen Zizhou's door without having to wait until tomorrow.

She raised her hand and knocked on the door. Still half asleep, Wen Zizhou grumbled angrily and stumbled to get up and open the door.

"Who is it? Staying up all night and out having an affair?"

He muttered something nonsensical, and when he opened his eyes a crack and saw that it was Song Tingwan, he became even more dissatisfied.

"What are you doing so late at night? You're not planning to kick me, are you?" He immediately hugged himself, becoming wary.

In the past, Song Tingwan would have burst out laughing when she saw him like this, but now she couldn't laugh at all.

"Zizhou, I'm leaving," she said softly, watching Wen Zizhou's reaction.

Wen Zizhou nodded blankly, "Oh, it's getting late, it's time to go back to sleep."

Song Tingwan: ...

“When I said I was leaving, I meant I was going back to Qingzhou County,” she raised her voice, and Wen Zizhou understood.

He leaned closer, squinting at Song Tingwan. "How many times have you lied to me? I don't believe you."

Wen Zizhou gave a childish snort. When Song Tingwan bullied him, he would fight back, and then he would hear her say, "I'm about to leave, what's wrong with you letting me have my way?"

A good man doesn't fight with a woman; he always falls for her tricks and gets beaten up for nothing.

I suppose it's the same now; I'm saying this so that he won't hold a grudge about being kicked during meals.

Song Tingwan suddenly felt angry. She was so serious this time, yet this man still didn't believe her?

She grabbed Wen Zizhou's collar and pulled him close to her, instantly closing the distance between them. Wen Zizhou closed his eyes in fear.

"Let me tell you! I'm your savior, you can't repay kindness with enmity!"

He opened one eye to observe Song Tingwan, and seeing her expression, he thought she was about to attack again, so he quickly said, "I haven't repaid your life-saving grace yet, don't kill me first."

Song Tingwan tightened her grip, and Wen Zizhou resignedly closed his eyes, waiting for either a punch or a slap.

A soft chuckle reached his ears, and before he could react, Song Tingwan said gently, "I have no way to repay your life-saving grace, so I can only repay you with my body."

A delicate fragrance filled my nose, and a warm sensation suddenly touched my lips.

Wen Zizhou's eyes widened in an instant as he stared at the face that seemed to grow infinitely larger in front of him.

Song Tingwan's eyelashes trembled slightly, making his face itch, but he didn't dare to reach out and push her away.

He stood there blankly until Song Tingwan angrily punched him in the stomach.

"Idiot! Answer me!"

Wen Zizhou jumped back and clutched his chest. "Female hooligan!" he shouted.
