The remaining few people exchanged knowing glances and smiled at each other tacitly.
What if they won the championship? What if they swaggered around like they were invincible every day? Haha, it still wouldn’t change the fact that they were overshadowed by those with powerful connections!
Chi Feiran naturally had no knowledge of these things. After Li Yuan and the others sent him off, he closed his eyes and rested against the car seat.
Seeing this, the driver became even more careful while driving.
When he was arranged to come here, Secretary Han repeatedly emphasized several times that this was the only beloved son of their big boss, spoiled to the extreme. If anything happened, it would be a big deal.
The car smoothly entered a quiet and luxurious villa area. The four characters “Tian Yun Feiran” were specially written by a famous calligrapher, giving off an extraordinary vibe at first glance.
The security personnel in the villa area were all dressed in neat and stylish suits, each with a dignified appearance, making them seem like they could be models.
Normally, vehicles entering and exiting this villa area would undergo strict inspection and registration before being allowed to pass. However, the car Chi Feiran was riding in was clearly an exception.
The automatic barrier switch was pressed down by the security personnel even before the car was close. They drove smoothly into the villa area and parked in the garage of one of the most prime houses.
It was a beautifully decorated interior, not extravagant and showy but rather tastefully luxurious. Every detail revealed the thoughtful design of the decorator.
Most importantly, these arrangements were very much to Chi Feiran’s liking, tailored to his preferences.
Although he was immersed in his own emotions at the beginning, unable to appreciate the decoration, the more he stayed, the more he realized how carefully everything was arranged.
Instead of going upstairs to rest immediately, Chi Feiran waited quietly in the downstairs living room near the phone.
Sure enough, after a short while, the phone on the table rang.
Chi Feiran couldn’t help but smile as he answered the call softly, “Hello.”
On the other end, Chi Jun immediately said, “Feiran, it’s Dad. Dad isn’t busy today. How about having dinner together?”
Secretary Han watched his boss telling ridiculous lies with a silly smile and was internally screaming. This silly dad must not be his boss, who was imposing and authoritative! It’s all fake!
Chi Feiran, of course, knew that Chi Jun was talking nonsense, but he could hear the cautious expectation in Chi Jun’s tone. His heart softened, and he replied gently, “Sure, I’m waiting at home. Or…”
Before Chi Feiran could finish, Chi Jun immediately interrupted, “You wait at home; I’ll come over. Dad will be there soon. Dad will hang up first!”
Chi Feiran looked at the hung-up phone, stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but laugh.
He tilted back on the sofa, hugging the pillow in his hand and rubbing it randomly. The soft feeling made him comfortable enough to hum. His hair and clothes were messed up, and one of his slippers fell off due to the movement.
All the maturity that didn’t match his appearance disappeared with it. Right now, he looked like a real seventeen-year-old teenager.
But soon, he quieted down.
Chi Feiran hugged the pillow tightly, feeling a bit dazed.
Can a father he hasn’t seen for over a decade treat him like this? Then, can the person who was almost inseparable from him truly be the mastermind who tried to kill him?
Just because Edmund wanted him to intern at the company, afraid that he would inherit everything from Edmund?
Just because of money?
Chi Feiran stared with wide eyes, recalling the cold expression on that person’s face.
He had always thought that person was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Because he always cared about him, his hands were warm, they grew up together, they… used to be so good together…
But the car, it was a gift from him.
The last call, he made it, telling him to stop the car.
When he followed the instruction, the explosion happened.
If it wasn’t for him, why would he know that there was a bomb on that car?
Chi Feiran wanted to know the truth. He wanted to ask that person, “Did you want me dead? Would you kill me for money?”
But when he opened his eyes again, he returned to being seventeen, and nothing had happened.
It seemed like the heavens were playing a joke on him. He faced someone who hadn’t done anything, and all the truths disappeared with his rebirth.
Facing the caring gaze of that person, he didn’t even have the courage to ask, “Have you ever thought of killing me? Would you kill me for money?”
He ran away.
Using the excuse of wanting to become a star, using the excuse that being a Chinese wouldn’t be suitable for development overseas, he escaped back to his home country.
He knew that what he did was quite spineless. But by the time he realized it, he had already boarded the plane back to his home country. It was so rushed that he didn’t even pack any luggage. His mother and Edmund thought he had entered a belated rebellious phase.
Chi Feiran took a deep breath. Maybe…
Maybe, when he truly calmed down, he would find the courage to go back and face everything.
For now, let him escape for a while.
When Chi Jun arrived at the villa, the first thing he saw was Chi Feiran with messy hair and clothes.
But he didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. On the contrary, he was especially happy.
He knew how Chi Feiran was brought up, and he knew that this child would only show this kind of slightly inappropriate appearance in front of someone he was exceptionally close to.
How could he not be happy about it?
Chi Feiran looked at Chi Jun’s smile and awkwardly straightened his clothes, saying, “Dad… Dad, you’re here.”
He was still not entirely used to calling him Dad. But with this slightly stuttered sentence, Chi Jun’s smile deepened.
Chi Jun was holding several layers of insulated lunch boxes in his hands and said to Chi Feiran, “These are all your favorite dishes.”
Chi Feiran appropriately showed a curious and eager expression, causing Chi Jun to burst into laughter while opening the lunch boxes.
