Free Web NovelChapter 669: Chapter 667: Kind Father 46
Ah Chen was really happy on his eighteenth birthday, especially knowing that his senior didn’t mind him.
It would be better if it wasn’t so lively.
He looked at the people gathered in the living room, feeling a bit regretful.
He wondered when he would be able to spend his birthday alone with his senior. This time was special, but in the future, he would definitely find a chance to celebrate with just the two of them.
Li Feiwei touched the bracelet on his wrist, a birthday gift from his senior. It was made of platinum, very well-designed, and suited him perfectly. Even if it was something ordinary, if it was given by his senior, he liked it. But the moment he saw this bracelet, he liked it instantly.
"Did you design this yourself too?" Chen Yijia asked Ah Chen.
Hearing this, Li Feiwei perked up his ears. Did the senior design it herself? He was filled with joy.
But what did that "too" mean? Suddenly, he noticed the crystal necklace around Chen Yijia’s neck and felt a bit jealous, but then he remembered he also had one, and the jealousy instantly vanished.
One shouldn’t be too greedy, trying to have everything.
Chen Yijia was the senior’s good friend, so it was only right for the senior to treat her well.
The others were somewhat astonished; they had seen a lot, and the design of Li Feiwei’s bracelet was definitely top-notch.
Ah Chen nodded. Similarly, this bracelet also incorporated technology products and the end-of-the-world Crystal Core.
She thought the Li Group was quite complicated, and it might actually come in handy. Now that Li Feiwei was caught up in the whirlpool of the Li Group, there might be people hoping for his demise. No matter how careful he was, he was still mortal, and many things were hard to prevent. As for how to use this bracelet, there’s no need to discuss it here. She sent Li Feiwei the instructions, and he would surely read them carefully.
Li Feiwei’s thoughts drifted far away. Last time, on the senior’s eighteenth birthday, he had only sent something relatively expensive—a gemstone, which really couldn’t compare to a personally designed gift. What was the use of something expensive? Next time, he would definitely design a birthday gift for his senior himself.
Starting tomorrow, he would add a new class—jewelry design.
Ah Chen didn’t know what Li Feiwei was thinking. If she knew, she might say he had quite a competitive streak.
"Why do I feel this one is more complex and carefully made than mine?" Chen Yijia pretended to be sour, which actually made Li Feiwei happy, perhaps it was true.
Ah Chen was speechless; she suspected Chen Yijia was just messing around.
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was lively.
After the commotion, everyone tactfully dispersed. Ah Chen didn’t rush to leave and was taken on a tour of the villa by Li Feiwei.
"Senior, what do you think of this place?" Li Feiwei asked a bit nervously.
There were too many not-so-good memories here. It couldn’t be denied that it was a good place, but as long as the senior was here, those memories would be washed away.
Li Jingming was locked in the basement by him; after he fully controlled the Li Group, he would send him abroad to retire.
If Li Jingming retired peacefully, he would surely agree to his suggestion.
Actually, Ah Chen had already noticed someone else in the villa, underground. With a slight sense, she knew it was Li Jingming.
She also didn’t overlook the bruise on Li Feiwei’s wrist, even though some cover-up was done. Probably, the father and son had fought.
"It’s pretty good," she said.
Li Feiwei nodded, that’s good.
As he sent Ah Chen out of the villa, Li Feiwei couldn’t hold it in anymore, he said, "Senior, I like you."
After saying it, he was a bit upset. Was it too fast? What if he scared her?
Ah Chen turned back, her eyes curved: "I know."
Li Feiwei’s eyes widened as he heard Ah Chen continue, "Do you think I would casually give my personally designed jewelry to just anyone?"
The implication of that sentence was clear to Li Feiwei. He took two steps forward, trembling slightly as he held Ah Chen’s hand, his eyes clingy.
"But I’m not the first to receive one," he still said, being bothered.
Ah Chen chuckled lightly, "But you’ll have the most. All the future ones are yours."
Li Feiwei’s heart was pounding like a drum; enough, it was enough, this was what he hoped for.
Reluctantly sending Ah Chen into the car, Ah Chen said, "Remember to read the instructions."
Li Feiwei nodded, not having had the chance to read them, he turned and went to the basement.
The old man probably failed to sow discord; the senior liked him too.
"Senior likes me!"
"The birthday gift was designed by herself." Li Feiwei happily raised his hand to show Li Jingming.
Li Jingming’s expression was indescribable. His son was fierce, but also a romantic fool.
Just wait, he didn’t think being a romantic fool would end well, one day it’ll lead to trouble.
"It’s just temporary affection." Li Jingming sneered.
Li Feiwei: "Anyway, senior likes me, I don’t care if you disapprove."
"Senior also said there are instructions." Li Feiwei excitedly took out his phone to check, and after reading them, he was stunned. He tried just the most inconspicuous function and understood that this was real. He didn’t try the others, proudly saying, "I won’t show you, you’re not worthy."
Now he understood that what the old man said might be true, the senior wasn’t simple. Otherwise, how could she design such jewelry? It wasn’t just simple jewelry; this thing could save lives.
Originally, it should have been frightening.
But since the senior was willing to show these and even gave him one, what was there to fear? That the senior cared about him was enough.
"Father, have you ever been cared for or liked by someone?" Li Feiwei suddenly asked.
Li Jingming disdainfully said, "Do those things matter? With my status, many people are willing to bow before me. It doesn’t matter who I am; for the sake of profit, there will always be people willing to fulfill my ideas. Like or dislike, how childish."
"Looks like Father has never been cherished by anyone, so you don’t know how it feels; truly pitiful."
Li Jingming’s face darkened, and he snorted coldly, "The strong have no need for those things."
"Sour grapes; those who’ve never experienced it have no right to judge."
Li Jingming was speechless with anger, realizing he indeed had a romantic fool of a son.
"Even if it’s for profit, there are many willing to meet Father’s expectations, but no one will genuinely want to stay with you. Once they’ve gained what they want, they’ll leave. If you have nothing, no one will remain by your side."
"Are you sure Ran Chen will always be by your side?" Li Jingming was skeptical.
Li Feiwei’s heart tightened, then he looked at the bracelet on his wrist, feeling more confident. This time, inexplicably, he just felt he could be with his senior for a lifetime.
"Father, wait and see."
On the first day of registration, Li Feiwei had already gotten up early to take Ah Chen to school.
Zhuo Qiaoqing observed Li Feiwei’s behavior, thoughtful but not surprised. In her eyes, Li Feiwei was a good kid.
Next up was military training.
Ah Chen and Chen Yijia were in the same major, same class, and even the same dormitory.
Recently, Chen Yijia had been busy chatting on her phone. Taking advantage when the other was absorbed, Ah Chen leaned in, "Are you talking with Wen Zhixi?"
