Chapter 107: Going back to

someone you love is too cheap. Ruan Liuzheng tightened her grip, her cold eyes fixed on Fu Yanci, their depths icy and devoid of any warmth.

Fu Yanci's shamelessness once again resonated with her.

She spoke expressionlessly, her beautiful features filled with indifference.

"It's undeniable, but Fu Yanci, do you really have the nerve to say that? Aside from that insignificant little seed at the beginning, have you ever cared for Chengcheng since he was born?"

Ruan Liuzheng's eyes flickered, her elegant face growing even colder. She said coldly, "You have no right to stand here and pretend to be a father and son."

"From the moment your Fu family decided to abandon Chengcheng, from the moment we divorced, you and everyone else in your Fu family had nothing to do with Chengcheng."

Ruan Liuzheng paused, her lips curled up slowly, a faint chill gleaming on her fair, jade-like face. "Don't bother me. We can live in peace, but if that's not possible... I don't mind a fight with your Fu family."

"The story of the mayfly shaking the tree—I'm sure you're familiar with it."

Fu Yanci's eyes suddenly turned cold.

He stared at Ruan Liuzheng expressionlessly, his dark eyes as deep as the abyss, tinged with a hint of anger.

There was something dark and incomprehensible in his eyes.

After a long time, his eyelids drooped slightly, and his cold voice was filled with a magnetic displeasure.

"It will do you no good to go against the Fu family."

Fu Yanci raised his eyes, his eyes were dark, "I came here today just because the old man missed the child, and there was no other purpose."

"Although we are divorced, you can't stop us from seeing the child."

He sighed as if in compromise, and there was a hint of helplessness between his cold eyebrows, but his eyes were slightly hot.

Ruan Liuzheng pursed her lips and said nothing. She raised her eyes and glanced at Fu Yanci lightly, and there was still no change of emotion in her eyes.

She had already seen the faces of the Fu family clearly.

Even though Fu Yanci softened his tone, it still could not reduce the vigilance in her heart. Dealing with the Fu family is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.

Her heart darkened, her brows cold. "Are you missing the child, or are you seeking revenge? Fu Yanci, I just humiliated you today, and now you're showing weakness. Do you think that's convincing? With your temper, you should be raring to rip me alive."

Fu Yanci's breath paused, his expression noticeably frozen.

But he quickly recovered, looking up at Ruan Liuzheng, a hint of resignation flickering across his stern features.

"Am I so unconvincing in your heart? Liuzheng, after all, we've been together for nine years. Even if the affection has faded, there should at least be some affection."

Ruan Liuzheng sneered. "If there's no affection, how can there be affection?"

"Stop pretending. Fu Yanci, no matter what, I will never let you take Chengcheng away. You can see the child, but only within the timeframe I specify. Otherwise... forget it!"

With that, Ruan Liuzheng, taking her slightly frightened son by the arm, began to leave. She

barely even spared Fu Yanci a glance.

Ruan Liuzheng's sneer finally broke Fu Yanci's composure.

He stepped forward with a cold expression, blocking Ruan Liuzheng's path with a blank face, his lips tightly pursed.

His inky black eyes held no emotion, like a deep, silent pond, piercing and cold. His

earlier passion seemed fleeting, shallow and indifferent.

His expression was cold. "I can choose not to fight you for custody of our son, and I can overlook your recent rebelliousness, but Ruan Liuzheng, there must be limits to what you do."

"I've already had Jiang Ze give you the ten million today. Don't let yourself degenerate into becoming the mistress of some unknown upstart. That maintenance contract is valid forever with me."

He raised his chin slightly, a glint of disdain flashing through his stern brows, and spoke with a sense of righteousness.

His demeanor was also superior.

Ruan Liuzheng frowned, took two steps back, raised her eyes coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

Her expression was cold and disdainful.

"But Ruan Liuzheng would rather go begging on the street than return to you, Fu Yanci, and fall into depravity."

A sneer appeared at the corner of her lips, "I don't know why you came to bother me today, whether it was out of reluctance or pure revenge. But Fu Yanci, I don't want to see you here again." "

A qualified ex-husband should be as quiet as dead."

Fu Yanci's expression froze, and his handsome face instantly became as gloomy as ink.

But he did not refute or sarcastically say it at the first time. Instead, he pursed his lips and looked at Ruan Liuzheng quietly, his eyes deep and dark.

He didn't expect Ruan Liuzheng to have no intention of giving in until now.

Today was not a gathering of the Fu family, and the old man did not mention Fu Jingcheng. Everything was his own decision.

The reason... was truly inexplicable. It was simply because he'd met Ruan Liuzheng at an art exhibition, and because Huanqing had repeatedly whispered about her, hinting that she might be someone's mistress.

Although he'd anticipated this, when it was confirmed, he couldn't help but feel a surge of resentment and jealousy.

Those inexplicable emotions, like vines, gradually entwined themselves around him, forcing him to surrender.

He broke his own principles, compromised for the first time, and approached Ruan Liuzheng.

I'd expected Ruan Liuzheng to show weakness, but unexpectedly...

Fu Yanci took a deep breath, his eyes growing colder. He spoke expressionlessly, "Ruan Liuzheng, this is my last chance. As long as you honestly admit your mistakes, I'll forgive all your past actions." "

Although you'll no longer be Mrs. Fu, I can guarantee all your future expenses. You just need to be sensible and not bring this up in front of Huanqing."

He stood quietly before Ruan Liuzheng, his eyes cold, his dark pupils devoid of any emotion.

His tone was calm and composed, as if he were discussing the weather.

Yet, he trampled Ruan Liuzheng's dignity into the mud, without even a thought for her.

His selfishness and coldness were the hallmarks of the Fu family.

Ruan Liuzheng felt an indescribable revulsion.

She suddenly felt stupid. She knew all about Fu Yanci's true intentions, so why didn't she just turn around and leave with her son at the beginning? Instead, she stayed here and wasted her time arguing with Fu Yanci.

What a waste of time.

Ruan Liuzheng smiled lightly, her beautiful eyes filled with irony. "This is why you came here today, right?"

"Fu Yanci, not everyone is as unscrupulous as you."

She paused, glanced at Fu Yanci indifferently, her expression suddenly cold. "It's so cheap to go back to your ex."

After saying that, Ruan Liuzheng raised a scornful arc at the corner of her lips, and she took her son and left the place without looking around.

When passing by Fu Yanci, she didn't even raise her eyes, and chose to ignore him.

She didn't understand why Fu Yanci came here today, but she had to admit that Fu Yanci had successfully disgusted her.

She really didn't want to stay for a second longer.

Fu Yanci didn't stop her, even though he was extremely angry in his heart, but he understood that Ruan Liuzheng still had some backbone. She

hadn't really tasted the pain of leaving the Fu family.

But he could wait, wait for Ruan Liuzheng to compromise with life, wait for Ruan Liuzheng to come back and ask him for forgiveness and shelter.

Ruan Liuzheng will regret it one day.

Fu Yanci's eyes darkened.

He turned, his handsome face gleaming with coldness. He opened his mouth and said, "Ruan Liuzheng, I'll give you another month to consider. In a month, the Fu and Bai families will jointly announce their marriage. By then, it will be too late for you to regret."

Fu Yanci stared at Ruan Liuzheng's back with a deep gaze, his voice cold and silent, without a trace of emotion.

But his hands at his sides unconsciously tightened, his brows knitted together. A restlessness,

unnoticed even by himself

, clung to his eyes. Ruan Liuzheng glanced slightly sideways at Fu Yanci, a hint of sarcasm curling at the corners of her pale pink lips.

She ignored Fu Yanci and walked forward without stopping.

A hint of chill shone in her cold eyes.

Those who live in their own fantasies can never be awakened.

...

By the time Ruan Liuzheng and Fu Jingcheng got into the car, Xie Qingcen had finished his work and was quietly waiting for mother and son.

His eyes narrowed slightly, his thick black eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes. The elegant and handsome man

heard the noise and looked up, his dark eyes shimmering with a faint smile.

He put away his phone, his brows gentle, "I'm back."

Ruan Liuzheng nodded. After fastening her son's seat belt, she turned and walked to the passenger seat.

Unexpectedly, she turned her head and met Xie Qingcen's smiling gaze. She paused, pursed her lips and explained, "I met an irrelevant person and wasted some time."

"Then I won't be soft-hearted for irrelevant people next time."

Xie Qingcen slowly withdrew his gaze, his slender jade-like fingertips lightly tapping the steering wheel. "Don't you think it's stupid to waste time for them?"

He glanced sideways, his dark eyes quietly looking at Ruan Liuzheng, his clear voice calm and indifferent.

Ruan Liuzheng's eyes paused.

A hint of hidden emotion flashed through the depths of his cold eyes.

Xie Qingcen's words hit the nail on the head, directly exposing her thoughts and coinciding with her own ideas.

Sometimes, she was indeed a little too soft-hearted.

Ruan Liuzheng raised her eyes slightly, nodded, and said, "It's indeed stupid. But I won't give him this opportunity next time."

She turned her head and looked at Fu Jingcheng behind her with gentle eyes. Her voice was cold and firm, "I will not give him the chance to get close to Chengcheng again."
