Free Web NovelChapter 668: Chapter 666: Kind Father 45
On the day of Li Feiwei’s birthday, Ah Chen got up rather early.
She greeted Zhuo Qiaoqing, saying she was going to a friend’s birthday celebration. Just as she reached the parking lot, she received a call from Li Feiwei.
Upon hearing that Ah Chen was about to drive, Li Feiwei didn’t say much more, quickly reminding her to be careful.
The drive to the Li Family Villa was smooth, and as she entered the area, someone appeared in front of Ah Chen to guide her, under Li Feiwei’s arrangement. Today was his eighteenth birthday, a particularly significant day, and he wouldn’t allow anything to go wrong on such a day.
Therefore, people in the villa area were a bit surprised to see this scene.
After all, the people here were either wealthy or noble, and all drove luxury cars. Even the most frugal would never buy such an ordinary electric car as Ah Chen’s. Out of curiosity, the passersby couldn’t help but take a few extra glances.
Ah Chen remained calm, considering this a small scene.
At the entrance of the Li Family Villa, Li Feiwei had also dressed up specially today.
Though he wasn’t hosting a grand birthday party, he still invited some people, and naturally, the recently returned Chen Yijia was on the guest list as well, having just arrived.
Seeing Li Feiwei’s nervous demeanor, she couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly. She then glanced at Wen Zhixi standing next to her, her eyes twitching slightly. As an adult, she naturally understood what Wen Zhixi’s frequent "coincidental" meetings represented.
Who would have thought?
The man who once seemed unattainable actually had such a side.
Initially, Li Feiwei wasn’t planning to hold a public birthday party, but quite a few people ended up coming today.
Fortunately, he was well-prepared, so he didn’t get flustered.
Actually, he had hoped to spend the day with his senior, but that would be a bit strange, and it wouldn’t be good if he scared her off.
Now that he’s eighteen, the old man can no longer threaten him, and he can finally express his feelings to his senior.
He watched the familiar car approach from afar and could vaguely make out the driver he constantly thought about, causing him to take a few steps forward to greet her.
Ah Chen got out of the car, leaving the matter of parking to the valet here, naturally.
She held the gift box and walked toward the entrance. Li Feiwei had already come down to greet her with a smile on his face, "Senior, it’s hot out, come on in."
Now Li Feiwei, without any scruples, acted without reservation, his gaze burning as it fell upon Ah Chen, unable to hide his intentions any longer.
Such blatant behavior was noticeable to everyone present.
Those close to Li Feiwei could naturally sense his feelings, though he had been somewhat restrained before, but now he wasn’t hiding it at all.
Even without worries, Li Feiwei continued to observe Ah Chen’s expression, afraid that his overly enthusiastic display would scare or unsettle his senior. As for the old man saying that his senior wasn’t a simple person, he didn’t know if it was true.
Who she really was didn’t matter; he only feared she would distance herself due to his ardor.
As long as she didn’t distance herself or dislike him, that was all that mattered.
"Happy adulthood," Ah Chen said, her eyes smiling. She noticed Li Feiwei’s nervousness, his concerns seeming to have lessened, as he showed more of his true self—a rather endearing sight.
Was he worried she would distance herself?
This was a piece of the puzzle she intended to reclaim, so how could she ignore it?
Li Feiwei noticed that Ah Chen was the same as always, his heart relaxing, joy slowly spreading from his heart to his eyes as he reached out to gently pull Ah Chen in. At the same time, he kept observing her expression.
She didn’t pull away.
She wasn’t uncomfortable.
Her smile didn’t fade, as if him holding her was something natural.
At that moment, Li Feiwei’s heart raced unexpectedly fast, and he felt a sense of true rebirth.
In the past, he thought he would one day destroy himself, dragging the old man down too, never expecting to live to see old age, not even middle age.
Now, he actually looked forward to sharing old age with his senior.
Turns out she was his rebirth.
His senior didn’t hate him, didn’t avoid his closeness. She should have realized his approach today wasn’t just as a junior to a senior, right? No refusal meant acceptance, didn’t it?
Li Feiwei’s buddies didn’t dare say much, and both Chen Yijia and Wen Zhixi tactfully remained silent.
Wen Zhixi, as a fellow man who, due to his interest in Chen Yijia, had some understanding of both Ah Chen and Li Feiwei, could clearly see Li Feiwei’s intentions. It wasn’t overt, but aside from love, who else would focus all their attention on one person?
As for Ran Chen, she was just a pretty girl, seemingly harmless and easy to read; the only thing that stood out was her special care for Li Feiwei. Many considered her a kind senior, but besides Li Feiwei, she wasn’t particularly warm to others.
Today, Ran Chen seemed more indulgent to Li Feiwei, indeed indulgent.
His impression of Ran Chen was based on his prior thoughts.
But now, everyone knew Li Jingming was ill, and Li Family was under Li Feiwei’s control. Currently, the Li Family’s executives hadn’t made any moves, only knowing Li Feiwei had gone to the company yesterday. Seeing him today, without any apparent trouble, he realized Li Feiwei wasn’t simple.
Thus, could a girl who was so tolerant of Li Feiwei really be as simple as she appeared?
And then there was the birthday gift for Chen Yijia, seemingly too coincidental—he felt Ran Chen had long understood Chen Yijia’s situation and gave her such a gift because she anticipated what might occur at the birthday party, ensuring no mishaps. Unexpectedly, it really helped Chen Yijia.
Just a crystal necklace managed to clear Chen Yijia’s past disgrace, turning the Chen Family into a joke, while she kept her achievements hidden.
Surely many paid attention to Ran Chen, but after that, she showed nothing unusual, likely making people think it was just a coincidence.
Originally, those interested in that crystal necklace were soon distracted when Jing Zhou quickly established a company with products more advanced than those on the market, turning attention away. As a result, some even believed the appearance of the crystal necklace at the birthday party was actually orchestrated by Chen Yijia’s cousin, Jing Zhou.
At least, that’s how the Chen Family perceived it, left both angry and speechless by Jing Zhou.
Ah Chen sensed a strange gaze from Wen Zhixi and turned her head to see, immediately understanding.
Her actions might be uncertain to others, but she hadn’t concealed them; it was normal to be speculated about, though most wouldn’t notice.
Wen Zhixi then gave a faint smile, just before catching a slightly icy look from Li Feiwei, leaving him speechless. He quickly moved closer to Chen Yijia, as if to convey his feelings were only for her.
Li Feiwei’s expression softened, satisfied.
Then he cast a disdainful look, which Wen Zhixi understood as disdain for his lack of success in pursuing someone.
Wen Zhixi’s mouth twitched. Pursuing someone you like wasn’t like solving a math problem; it wasn’t that simple.
Li Feiwei had the nerve to disdain him when he too had to probe cautiously.
