Mrs. Wen prepared a table full of delicious dishes that were good for the stomach today, with all kinds of flavors and colors, making people's appetite increase significantly. The taste preference in the Wen family is quite spicy, especially the two sisters who love Sichuan cuisine and enjoy eating very spicy food. As a result, Mr. and Mrs. Wen also developed a liking for spicy food due to their influence, so spiciness has always been the theme of the Wen family's meals.

However, Mr. and Mrs. Wen know that Ye Feimo has a sensitive stomach, so they made sure all the dishes served were mild in flavor to cater to his taste buds. Ye Feimo prefers light flavors and enjoys food that is good for his stomach.

They only provided one or two plates of spicy cold dishes for their daughters as an indulgence. The atmosphere at the dinner table was very cheerful.

After dinner, Mr. Wen played chess with Ye Feimo while Nuwan helped her mom in the kitchen. She mentioned Fang Liucheng's reaction to their marriage today, "I told him about your wedding to Feimo. The boy turned pale and looked extremely distressed. Nuwan, I think you should spend more time talking to him; after all, only he can solve this problem."

"I understand," Nuwan said softly, feeling somewhat down when thinking of Fang Liucheng.

“If Liucheng had been able to let go of his grudges earlier, you might not have met Feimo and would likely have married him instead.” Mrs. Wen smiled as she spoke, seemingly quite satisfied with Fang Liucheng.

Nuwan sweetly replied, "Mom, Feimo is really great too. Look at him; despite his aloof personality, he came out to play chess with Dad after looking up the rules in the toilet because it was his first time playing. He also knows that you like jewelry and frequently buys you new pieces from AN Jewelry. He’s so considerate of both of you. You can’t say anything bad about him; Feimo is a perfect son-in-law."

Nuwan still has a protective side to her nature, and the long-standing relationship between Fang Liucheng and her parents cannot be easily erased in an instant. While it’s one thing for them to have preferences, expressing these preferences is another matter entirely.

She wanted her parents to treat Fei Mo as well as their own child, so that he wouldn't feel disliked or excluded by them.

"You brat, did I say anything bad about your father-in-law Little girl..." Mom Wen smiled and pinched Warm's nose. "To be honest, at first I was a bit prejudiced against him. He seemed difficult to get along with and too domineering, but after getting to know him, I found that he’s actually quite nice."

"Of course, don't you know who picked this guy"

Mom Wen: "..."

After helping Mom Wen cut the fruit, Warm went to the greenhouse in the backyard where many magnolias were planted. Mom Wen liked them very much. She sat down for a moment and then took out her phone to call Fang Yucheng.

The phone rang for quite some time before Fang Yucheng answered. His voice sounded hoarse and deep, and it was completely silent around him.

"Brother Yucheng, have you eaten" Warm asked in a casual manner. Thinking about it now, she hadn't called Fang Yucheng in a long time, and he hadn’t contacted her either.

“Mm.”

Fang Yucheng only replied with a single syllable without saying anything else.

Warm didn't mind. She softly said, "Brother Yucheng, I got married."

"I know." He paused for a long while before speaking.

The atmosphere between them instantly turned solemn. Warm did not know what else to say, and Fang Liucheng remained silent as well but didn't hang up the call. Warm felt weighed down inside, her heart heavy with gloominess.

Sitting on the sofa in the flower room, she was enveloped by the fragrance of orchids. The blooming white magnolias accentuated her soft and serene expression, making her look like a beautiful piece of jade. Her eyes were lightly clouded with faint worry, appearing slightly melancholic. She wanted to speak but stopped herself several times, and they fell into silence again.

"Brother Liucheng, I am very grateful for the years you spent with me and for giving me a beautiful dream. I grew up chasing your footsteps and carried that dream with me. My middle school and high school days were very happy; it was all thanks to you being there through my growth. Even though we missed each other's paths and didn't end up together, I still thank you from the bottom of my heart," Warm sincerely said in a tender voice tinged with faint nostalgia, as if she had returned to her most innocent self during middle school days when she was deeply enamored by him. "Brother Liucheng, thank you for opening my eyes to love. You brought me closer to this beautiful world of love; I will always be grateful to you. Warm truly hopes that we can remain siblings forever. Our family will always welcome you as home, and both Warm and Wen Jing are your sisters. No matter when you come over, Mom and Dad, along with us, will always greet you warmly. Brother Liucheng, please forgive me and also hope for your happiness."

"Warm..." Fang Liucheng's voice was incredibly hoarse, making Warm feel even heavier inside.

She bit her lip in distress, at a loss what to do. She thought back to the years of unrequited love she had for him and understood his feelings better than anyone else could.

"Are you happy with him"

Warm nodded, "Yes, I am very happy."

"Is that so" His voice dropped even lower as he laughed in a rough manner, the laughter filled only with sorrow. "Did... Did you ever love me"

"I loved!" Warmth answered without hesitation. She had loved Fang Liucheng since her high school days; all those years weren't just pretend. She had pursued him, cried for him, laughed with joy over him, and been both elated and foolishly in love—none of this she would deny.

Every year on her birthday, she wished to grow up and marry Fang Liucheng. She even shouted from the tallest building in A City that she wanted to marry him. When she saw girls getting close to him, she felt unhappy and jealous; a mere smile or small gift from him would make her happy for days.

That confused yet passionate love during their youth, that unbridled but tender adolescence—these were all parts of her life.

Fang Liucheng was the most beautiful dream of her teenage years and the person she loved the most.

"Now you don't love me anymore" He asked unwillingly, with a bitter smile, wishing he had given up on his vengeance sooner.

"Brother Liucheng, I love you, but it's different from how I love Ye Feimo." Warmth leaned back against the sofa, her fair skin blushing faintly, like a lush flower in full bloom.

With a slight shyness, happiness, and gratitude.

She was fortunate to have met Ye Feimo; it had helped her clarify her feelings for Fang Liucheng over the years and finally let go and move on.
