Chapter 414 Studying Abroad with Dad 9
Feng Xi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a smile as blooming as a spring flower, and said softly: "Auntie is not at home these days, so how are we going to solve the breakfast and dinner problems for Xiaodong and Dandan? They can't go hungry every day." There was a hint of worry in her bright big eyes.
After hearing this, Kevin couldn't help but laugh heartily. He looked at Feng Xi gently and answered confidently: "Don't worry, dear. I will explain everything to them before we go out to play, and let them just order takeout. Don't worry, I will reimburse all the expenses~" After saying that, he winked at Feng Xi mischievously.
Feng Xi's worries instantly dissipated after hearing his words, and she nodded gently in agreement: "That's fine, I'll take the trouble to arrange it." As soon as she finished speaking, she slowly stood up from Kevin's warm embrace, picked up her phone beside her, and said excitedly: "Then you go and do your own thing. I'm going to check on my phone to see if there are any fun places nearby. We must take this opportunity to go out and relax."
Feng Xi stared intently at her phone screen, her fingers nimbly scrolling through the pages, carefully browsing various travel information and travel experiences shared by netizens. Meanwhile, Kevin sat quietly at his desk, textbooks and notes open, intently reviewing his lessons. For a moment, the only sounds in the room were the gentle clatter of flipping pages and Feng Xi's occasional exclamations of delight at discovering interesting sights.
Meanwhile, Chen Fang was immersed in deep distress. Liu Ruoyu's sudden and unannounced return had caught him completely off guard. To make matters worse, upon her return, Liu Ruoyu had immediately filed for divorce. According to her lawyer, due to complex circumstances, Chen Fang had been convicted of bigamy, meaning he was likely to be expelled from the family. This news was like a hammer, hammering Chen Fang's heart, leaving him feeling anxious and uneasy.
After careful consideration, Chen Fang decided to take the initiative and look for a chance to save his marriage. He asked around and finally found the address of the hotel where Liu Ruoyu was staying. With a glimmer of hope, he hurried there. Standing in front of the door, Chen Fang took a deep breath and then raised his hand to knock.
"Knock, knock, knock..." The knock on the door echoed in the silent corridor. After a moment, the door slowly opened, and Liu Ruoyu's familiar yet unfamiliar face appeared before Chen Fang. Seeing that it was Chen Fang, Liu Ruoyu was slightly startled, but quickly regained her composure and stepped aside to let him into the room.
After entering the room, Liu Ruoyu walked silently to the table, poured a glass of water for Chen Fang, and then sat quietly on the sofa, waiting for Chen Fang to speak.
Chen Fang looked at Liu Ruoyu with guilt in his eyes and said, "Ruoyu, I really know I was wrong! Please, let's not get divorced, okay? As long as you are willing to give me another chance, I promise to cut off all contact with her from now on!" As he said that, he knelt on his knees, his eyes full of pleading, as if he wanted to use this method to exchange for Liu Ruoyu's forgiveness.
Liu Ruoyu looked at Chen Fang kneeling on the ground, feeling a mixture of emotions. She sighed softly and said slowly, "Old Chen, so many years have passed. Do you know how my son and I have been spending our time in America? Every minute and every second, we have been hoping that you would change your mind and come to America to find us. However, you have never appeared. Every day you indulge in the gentleness of your new love, enjoying the joy of having your children around you. Have you ever thought for even a moment about whether we are living well in America? Get up quickly..." At the end, Liu Ruoyu's voice couldn't help but choke.
Chen Fang's face flushed crimson, and he slowly stood up, feeling incredibly awkward. He stumbled towards the soft sofa. He paused, looking at Liu Ruoyu with an almost pleading expression, his voice trembling slightly as he asked, "Ruoyu, do you really have to be so ruthless? Is there no chance of redemption?"
Liu Ruoyu expressionlessly handed the long-prepared divorce agreement to Chen Fang, her tone as cold as ice: "This is already my biggest concession. I will leave you a layer of property, as long as you sign it obediently. If you still stubbornly choose to pursue legal proceedings, your lawyer must have already told you the possible outcome - you will be kicked out of the house. So, stop struggling in vain."
Chen Fang's hands trembled slightly as he took the divorce agreement. He nodded dejectedly, as if his soul had been sucked out of him. Then he picked up the pen and signed his name on the agreement with difficulty. Liu Ruoyu watched him sign coldly, picked up the agreement, examined it carefully, and said, "Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, we will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau on time to go through the divorce procedures. Regarding the issue of property distribution, I will entrust my lawyer to convert your portion into cash. Once everything is handled and you receive the money, I will leave here completely and have nothing to do with you from now on." After saying these words, Liu Ruoyu walked straight to the door without looking back, stretched out her hand to open the door, and made a gesture to signal Chen Fang to leave.
Chen Fang stood up silently and walked out the door with heavy steps. When his figure completely disappeared outside the door, Liu Ruoyu could no longer suppress the surging emotions in her heart. Her legs softened and she squatted on the ground weakly, covering her face with her hands and sobbing softly. Tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the cold floor. She cried and murmured to herself: "Why did it turn out like this? What did I do wrong?" Thinking of the hard work she had put into this family for many years and her young son, Liu Ruoyu felt that everything she had experienced was too unfair, but fortunately she listened to her son's advice and successfully won most of the family property, which at least could ensure that the mother and son would have a worry-free life in the future.
In the days that followed, Liu Ruoyu's lawyer handled all property-related matters with great efficiency and, as agreed, converted Chen Fang's portion of the property into a substantial cash sum. Without hesitation, Liu Ruoyu pulled a pre-written check from her bag and handed it to the lawyer as payment. Then, she picked up her already packed suitcase and resolutely boarded a flight to the United States. As the plane gradually took off, leaving behind the land that had brought her countless joys and painful memories, Liu Ruoyu secretly vowed to start a new life and create a bright future for herself and her son. Meanwhile, Kevin finally finished his stressful exams and joyfully took Feng Xi's hand as they embarked on a journey to the romantic city of Paris.
They first visited the world-famous Notre Dame Cathedral, a Gothic building that exudes an ancient and mysterious atmosphere that captivated them. They then strolled to the magnificent Arc de Triomphe, feeling the weight and glory of history.
As night quietly fell, the lights on both sides of the Seine came on, their reflections on the shimmering waters creating a dreamlike scene. Kevin and Feng Xi sat on a delicate boat, leisurely admiring the enchanting nightscape. A gentle breeze caressed their faces, bringing a touch of coolness while also stirring their hearts.
At that moment, Kevin gently put his arm around Feng Xi's shoulders and said lovingly, "Baby, I love you!" Then, as if by magic, he produced an exquisite jewelry box. Feng Xi curiously took the box and gently opened it, revealing a dazzling pink diamond necklace. The shimmering light, like the brightest star in the night sky, instantly captured Feng Xi's attention.
Feng Xi raised her eyebrows slightly and said coquettishly, "Put it on me quickly..." Kevin readily agreed and carefully placed the necklace on Feng Xi's fair and slender neck. This pink diamond necklace seemed to be tailor-made for Feng Xi, perfectly highlighting her noble and elegant temperament.
Looking at the beautiful Feng Xi in front of him, Kevin could no longer suppress his inner excitement. He asked anxiously, "Baby, I can't wait. When can we get married?" Before he finished speaking, he leaned over and kissed Feng Xi's cherry-like lips.
Meanwhile, Liu Ruoyu, who was far away in the United States, also returned home. Upon entering, she saw Dandan excitedly telling her about Kevin and Feng Xi's outing. Liu Ruoyu smiled slightly and didn't call to disturb the sweet couple. Instead, she went into the kitchen, put on an apron, and decided to personally prepare a hearty and delicious dinner for Huang Xiaodong and Wu Dandan.
Soon, the table was filled with delicious dishes, including the fragrant roast chicken, juicy steak, colorful vegetable salad, and steaming cream of mushroom soup, all of which made people salivate.
Huang Xiaodong and Wu Dandan, scented by the enticing aroma, arrived at the restaurant. Seeing the table overflowing with delicious food, their appetites immediately surged. Wu Dandan, devouring her meal, grumbled, "Auntie, thank goodness you're back! Otherwise, I'd be relying on those awful takeouts every day, and I'd be starving!" She winked playfully at Liu Ruoyu. Liu Ruoyu smiled faintly, gently picking up a piece of the alluring, fragrant braised pork with her chopsticks, and placing it in the bowl in front of Dandan, she said gently, "Eat more if you like. This is my specialty."
