236 Warm Harbor
Chen Kuan wasn’t too shocked. He paused for a moment, and his signature smile still appeared on his face. “Of course, I’m sincere to you.”
He grabbed a piece of tissue and wiped Mrs. Chen’s tears. “Look, you bought the clothes you’re wearing with my money, didn’t you? Your gallery was also put up with my money…”
“That’s enough, Chen Kuan,” Mrs. Chen stood up and said, “Save it. I’ve read your diary.”
Chen Kuan laughed and said, “Oh… I just wrote it casually. Don’t take it seriously. I know you’re not an unreasonable woman, right? Madam.”
He was treating her like a fool.
Mrs. Chen slammed the door and left. The only thought in her mind was to go back to the mainland.
His main task now was to pack her luggage and nothing else.
Or rather, she wasn’t sad at all. Instead, she felt she had let it go.
For so many years, she had been willing to be his accessory. Now that she had thought it through, she had to live for herself this once.
She even felt that Chen Kuan was just an outsider now, or that he had always been.
All the resentment and regret were already at the back of her mind. Mrs. Chen now had an emotion from a long time ago. The last time she felt this way was when she was traveling alone as a young girl. She remembered the green train and the smell of the grass outside the window. She had never felt so relaxed before.
Chen Kuan was not in a hurry.
She was alone and did not have much money on her. If she suffered losses outside, she would have to come back sooner or later.
Hence, he casually raised his cup and took a sip of the tea that was already very light. He instructed the nanny, “Call Chen En over.”
Chen En was still on the phone with Chuchu. He was having a great time talking, and since they were going back to Jiang City soon, he could bring some Taiwanese specialty snacks for Chuchu.
Chuchu was also extremely excited. If Chen En were to return, she would be the host in Jiang city. She would bring Chen En out to eat good food.
Chen En smiled and reminded him. He had been in Jiang City for a long time, so he was not an outsider.
“President Chen is looking for you.” The housekeeper was all smiles, but Chen En’s heart sank.
Most of the time, Chen Kuan looked for him to lecture him. At this time, his mother was packing her luggage. Should he tell his mother or go directly?
Chen En nodded at the housekeeper. “I’ll be right there. Then, he said goodbye to Chuchu.”
Before Chu Chu hung up, she did not forget to remind him, “You must pack your things quickly. I miss you so much.”
Chen En’s mood suddenly improved. Life in Taiwan had not been easy for him, and he was fine with it. However, the decision to go home was made by the adults, and he had no choice.
However, he was going back to Jiang City tomorrow!
Chen Kuan’s face darkened when he saw his son. “You’re leaving with mom?”
“Right… I’ll go back…”
“Don’t you have any ambition!” Chen Kuan looked as if he wanted Chen En to eat him.
Chen En had always been afraid of Chen Kuan. He was so scared that he kept quiet and stared at Chen Kuan without blinking.
“You stay here, do you hear me?” Chen Kuan’s tone was unquestionable, and his eyes were fierce. “I won’t let you leave this door.” In fact, he knew that his son would not leave Mrs. Chen. It was just that if he stayed, Mrs. Chen would come back soon.
He had thought his timid son would give up just like that. He did not expect Chen En to look at him in disbelief, then turn around and run out the door.
Chen En had to go back. He had made an agreement with Chuchu, and he would never break it.
He ran to Mrs. Chen’s room and hugged her, tears welling up in his eyes.
But when he thought about it, he was a man now. He had to protect his mother, so he held back his tears.
Mrs. Chen touched his soft hair and protected him in her arms. “Don’t worry, Baby. We can do it.” She had spoken to Qu Zhi on the phone, and Qu Zhi would ask Dong Feng to pick them up at the airport.
Chen En nodded in a relaxed manner. He trusted his mother unconditionally, and he also believed Chuchu’s promise to him wouldn’t go to waste.
The next morning, Chen En woke up and found himself back in Jiang city.
He couldn’t help but take a deep breath of Jiang City’s air, his heart beating faster. “Liang Chu, I’m back.”
