After placing Wen Wu’s nightgown on the bed, Qin Yu removed his bathrobe and went into the walk-in closet to change into an oppressively sharp suit.
He was going to the Wen family right now to take Wu-wu back.
If Wen Cheng refused — then Qin Yu would do everything possible to destroy the Wen Group.
Just as he finished preparing to leave—
“Sir!”
“Sir!”
A servant hurried downstairs anxiously.
Seeing Qin Yu about to get into the car, she quickly called out to stop him.
His room was cleaned daily by a designated maid.
As usual, she had gone in to tidy up. After cleaning the carpets, she accidentally saw the nightgown on the bed.
Realizing it might belong to yesterday’s young lady, she didn’t touch it.
Just as she was about to leave—
The phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.
Again and again.
With no choice, she grabbed it and ran out, afraid of delaying something important, stopping Qin Yu before he left.
“Sir, your phone.”
“Someone called just now. It might be urgent.”
Qin Yu took the phone without checking the caller ID.
Nothing could be more urgent than going to find Wen Wu.
He had already sat in the car and was about to start it—
Then the special ringtone he had set suddenly rang.
Realizing it might be Wu-wu calling, his finger paused on the ignition button, and he hurriedly looked at the screen.
The four words “Kiss-kiss Wife” flashed.
In that instant, warmth flooded back into his heart.
His hands trembled as he answered the video call.
The next second—
The porcelain-white delicate face he had longed for day and night appeared in his sight.
It had been 26 hours since they last saw each other.
“Qin Yu.”
Just two simple words—
And the insecure man’s defenses instantly collapsed.
“Wu… Wu-wu…”
“Why haven’t you come back yet?”
“You lied to me.”
The moment he saw Wen Wu, the grievance and loss in his heart made his voice choke.
Moisture gathered in his eyes and finally fell.
The once dark and deep gaze now held only longing and pain.
Qin Yu couldn’t hold back his tears.
Seeing the red eyes and the tears on the man’s handsome face, Wen Wu felt terrible as well.
Since childhood, Qin Yu hated crying the most.
When he was young, that man beat him until he was half-dead — he never shed a tear.
After growing up, he personally sent that beast to his end.
His heart became colder and crueler.
He had seen many people cry — but only from fear of him, begging him not to kill them.
Their snot and tears only made his violence worse.
But today—
After realizing Wen Wu might abandon him, he had secretly cried under the blanket.
And now seeing her again, his grievance and panic made him lose control once more.
“Qin Yu, don’t cry.”
“I’m sorry I haven’t gone to you yet.”
“Wait a little longer, okay? I swear I’ll come today.”
“Very soon…”
“Liar.”
Before she could finish, Qin Yu suddenly raised his reddened eyes toward the girl on the screen.
Distrust and accusation were obvious in his gaze.
His voice hoarse and low.
“Wu-wu, I don’t want to believe you anymore.”
“You always… always lie to me.”
“You told me to stay home obediently and wait. I listened. I thought I’d see you at dawn.”
“But I didn’t.”
“Except for the nightgown you left, I have nothing.”
“So now I’m going to take you back — even if I destroy the Wen family!”
The ruthlessness in his tone and obsession in his eyes were terrifying.
Anyone else would have fled in fear, thinking him insane.
But Wen Wu didn’t.
Seeing him like this only filled her with heartache.
“Ah Yu, wait for me two hours.”
“Just two hours.”
“If I still don’t appear, then come to the Wen family and take me away, okay?”
Tears unconsciously filled her eyes.
The thing Qin Yu hated most was seeing her cry.
The destructive violence inside him instantly extinguished.
“Don’t cry, Wu-wu, don’t cry…”
His flustered voice echoed in the car.
In the end, he compromised.
“Alright… Qin Yu, stay home and wait for me.”
“Soon… we can be together forever.”
After coaxing him a bit more, Wen Wu hung up.
Watching her face disappear from view, Qin Yu lowered his lashes in loneliness.
Since she told him to wait, he quietly sat in the car.
He had already decided—
If Wu-wu returned, he would say nothing.
But if after two hours she still didn’t appear, he would step on the gas and go to the Wen house to take her back.
After ending the call, Wen Wu left her room.
She couldn’t keep arguing with her father anymore.
The broken look in Qin Yu’s eyes made her heart ache uncontrollably.
She called Wen Cheng into the room and told him her thoughts.
As expected, he strongly opposed.
After he shouted angrily until his face turned red, Mother Wen glanced at him lightly.
“Finished losing your temper?”
“Husband, you know Wu-wu’s personality. Do you think we can stop her?”
“And besides…”
Her eyes filled with tears.
Thinking of her daughter’s weak health and the suffering she endured abroad—
It felt like a piece of her heart was carved out.
“Wu-wu’s body is fragile. Do you still want her to suffer?”
“She’s been obedient since childhood, comforting us even when her heart hurt so much her face turned pale.”
“Wen Cheng… don’t stop her.”
“If she’s wronged, we’ll bring her back.”
“But don’t stop her.”
Seeing his wife cry, Wen Cheng panicked.
He carefully thought about her words.
She was right.
Wu-wu looked gentle and obedient—
But she was incredibly stubborn.
He sighed deeply, as if surrendering.
Finally he hugged his wife and relented.
“…Fine. Let Wu-wu go.”
“But if that boy dares hurt her — I, Wen Cheng, will make him regret ever being born.”
