CHAPTER 86
"Hello, Mr. Wen!"
"Good morning, CEO Wen!"
…
Along the way, many people greeted him respectfully.
Wen Yu looked straight ahead.
He didn't need to turn his head to guess the awe and fear in these people's eyes.
How could he not be afraid?
As everyone knew, the boss of Yu Ding, Wen Yu, was a work machine. He was ruthless and had no desires. He had no wife, no children, and he didn't even have a girlfriend. His relatives had long been ruined by him, and all of them were poor.
As he grew older, the pressure on his body became even more terrifying. Whether it was the employees of the company or the companies that were begging to cooperate with him, there was no one who was not nervous when facing him.
"Good morning, Boss!" Secretary Cheng was 40 years old this year and was taught by Secretary Ning.
Secretary Ning had just retired last year. He and Zheng Ye were the only two people who could chat with Wen Yu. But after all, the high-intensity work made their bodies weak. They couldn't keep up with Wen Yu's pace, so they could only retire.
After Secretary Cheng greeted him, he immediately began to report on his work.
Wen Yu took the documents and flipped through them while listening.
Secretary Cheng looked very calm. If he wasn't calm, he wouldn't have become Yu Ding's first secretary. However, when he stood in front of Wen Yu, she could hear a hint of panic in his voice.
"Okay, that's settled then," Wen Yu said indifferently.
After that, Secretary Cheng left the room respectfully. Wen Yu could almost hear his sigh of relief when he closed the door behind him.
The office fell into silence.
Wen Yu did not immediately start working.
For some reason, he felt particularly lonely today.
Yu Ding was huge. It was his life's work. However, at Wen Yu's age, he should have tried to hand it over to his successor. He should have retired slowly like Secretary Ning.
But Wen Yu didn't know what else he could do besides work.
This was his center of gravity, and it was also his instinct.
Therefore, he continued to work, go to work, and develop his career.
He had also been scolded by a defeated opponent before. That person had said — Wen Yu, you are an emotionless machine. You seem to be prosperous all your life, but your heart is empty … Wen Yu, you are really ridiculous!
Was it laughable?
Wen Yu didn't think so.
His childhood was miserable, so he didn't trust anyone. He didn't want to get close to anyone. He never gave his feelings to anyone, and he never met anyone he could give his feelings to.
However, Wen Yu did not find it funny at all. He had taken his revenge and founded this huge Yu Ding Company. His life was fulfilling.
Moreover, he had already made a will. After his death, his business empire would be donated to society.
It was pretty good. Although there weren't too many emotional fluctuations, this life was sufficiently fulfilling. He had achieved his wish, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this at all.
But recently, for some reason, he suddenly felt a little lonely.
This kind of loneliness was very strange. In the past, his days were also like this, but he had never felt this way. Recently, he did not know why, but no matter where he went, he felt that there should be someone by his side.
Someone who filled his heart to the brim.
Wen Yu looked to the side of the desk. It was empty, but strangely, Wen Yu felt that there should be someone there. She was talking and laughing. Her smile was like a flower. She warmed his heart and embraced his loneliness.
Chi Zhengzheng.
Wen Yu's brows immediately furrowed.
He founded Yu Ding and was a famous figure in others' mouths, but in fact, his interpersonal relationships were very simple. In this life, there were really not many people he could remember.
He remembered the name Chi Zhengzheng. She was his former fiancée.
Why did he remember this name?
Wen Yu's brows were tightly knitted. His heart, which had always been like an ancient well, was inexplicably beating.
"Yuyu!" It seemed that a clear voice was calling him. The voice was soft and sweet, but it was full of love.
Wen Yu clutched his chest, and his eyes inexplicably became sour.
Emotions that he had never felt before were spreading.
He seemed to have forgotten something. It was very, very important, so important that it made his well-like heart beat wildly, as if it was out of control.

"Chi Zhengzheng …" he murmured.
In his mind, a beautiful figure flashed.
"Zhengzheng!!" Wen Yu suddenly sat up.
His eyes opened, and his gaze happened to meet the wedding photo hanging on the wall. It was their young appearance.
Wen Yu turned his head stiffly. On the bed, Chi Zhengzheng, who was already 60 years old, muttered, "Yuyu, what are you doing? Did you have a nightmare? Go to sleep … "
She murmured almost unconsciously. As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and patted his back twice, but her eyes did not open. After patting twice, her breathing became long.
Wen Yu let out a long breath.
Then, he lay down again and hugged Chi Zhengzheng tightly in his arms.
It was a dream.
No, perhaps it was not a dream. It was a life without Chi Zhengzheng.
For Wen Yu, life was like an ancient well, flat and without waves. It could be said that it was fulfilling because he had never experienced the sweetness that filled his heart.
But for him, it was a loneliness that he could not get rid of just thinking about it.
Wen Yu's hand tightened again. Chi Zhengzheng was used to being hugged by him. He moved, changed into a comfortable position, and continued to sleep soundly.
"Zhengzheng, it's so nice. Thank you."
You're really a gift from God.
The most precious gift.
Wen Nian and Wen Sui found that their parents were in love again.
Although one was 65 years old and the other was 60 years old.
Well, all these years, they had been very loving. But after being together for almost forty years, sometimes, it would become a long-lasting warmth.
Although they would show off their affection from time to time, they were a little more reserved as they got older.
But these few days, they were in love again.
It was mainly because their sixty-five-year-old father had suddenly started to show off his love for her in all sorts of ways. She didn't know what was wrong with him.
Although their 60-year-old mother was confused, the two of them had a good relationship, and she had always gone along with him.
Then … they were in love again.
They came to visit their parents, but when they entered the house, their mother, who was supposed to greet them, did not come out. The nanny said that they were in the showroom.
The two of them walked over one after the other.
Then they saw Chi Zhengzheng snuggling in Wen Yu's arms.
"Zhengzheng, look at this. This is a photo of our honeymoon!"
"I was so beautiful at that time."
"You're also beautiful now. Even if you become an old lady, you'll be the most beautiful old lady."
"Yuyu, you too. Even if you become an old man, you'll be the most handsome old man!"
"Zhengzheng, I love you!"
…
The two of them looked at each other and stepped back silently.
Back in the living room, Wen Nian asked, "Why don't we go? Mom and Dad won't take care of us … "
Wen Sui nodded and agreed. "Yes, I'll go back to the company and continue to deal with work. After Dad quit, a lot of things in the company are mine."
"Take care of yourself." Wen Nian, as the elder brother, reminded him.
Wen Sui said helplessly, "You should. Don't forget the time in the experiment and be caught by my sister-in-law."
Wen Nian and Wen Nian were six years apart. Because they had a pair of very loving parents, the two of them spent a lot of time together since childhood. They took care of each other and had a good relationship.
As for their careers, Wen Nian was obviously more interested in physics than business. Now he had become a famous professor in A University.
Wen Sui and Chi Zhengzheng looked very much like a little white rabbit. However, he magically inherited Wen Yu's business talent and was very good at business.
Therefore, Wen Yu trained Wen Sui early. Then he quit and left Yu Ding to Wen Sui.
Wen Nian and Wen Sui didn't disturb their parents. They told the nanny a few words and then left the villa.
Wen Yu and Chi Zhengzheng loved each other all their lives and regarded each other as their sweetheart.
They spoiled each other and indulged each other.
Wen Yu had always been worried about Chi Zhengzheng's health. After what happened when they were young, he was afraid that something bad would happen to her health all his life.
Fortunately, Chi Zhengzheng had always been in good health. It seemed that after the crisis that almost killed her, there were no more troubles. She lived healthily until she was eighty.
This year, Wen Yu was eighty-five years old.
"Yuyu …" Chi Zhengzheng sat beside the bed and reached out his wrinkled hand to hold the hand of Wen Yu who was lying on the bed.
Although she was old, she was still the most good-looking old lady.
Wen Yu was also the most good-looking old man.
However, he had fallen ill a year ago. At that time, the doctor asked him to prepare for his death. Even though he was lying in bed and could only give a little response, he still held on for a whole year with great difficulty.
Chi Zhengzheng knew why.
Wen Yu had said that he would never leave before her. If he left, he couldn't imagine how sad she would be if she was left alone.
He had spoiled her all his life and doted on her all his life. Even when he was dying, he couldn't bear to let her be sad.
"I feel that I'm about to die … I know you're feeling very uncomfortable. Let's go together …" Chi Zhengzheng said softly, his voice weak.
On the bed, Wen Yu's eyes were closed, but he opened his mouth.
Chi Zhengzheng approached him with difficulty.
She heard him say —
"Zhengzheng, I'm very happy in this life … In the next, next life … we'll, we'll still be together …"
In the past year, he had rarely been able to speak clearly. However, at this moment, he seemed to be particularly clear-headed and could barely speak.
Chi Zhengzheng had used up all her strength just now. After she sat back down, she couldn't hold on any longer. She leaned her head against Wen Yu's arm, tears rolling down her face. She nodded and said, "Okay."
"We, we … also made, made a promise. In the next, next life … you have to remember to keep the promise …" Wen Yu opened his mouth with difficulty.
"Okay …" She heard herself reply.
Then, she closed her eyes.
On the hospital bed, the corners of Wen Yu's mouth curled up with a smile. He had completely stopped breathing.
He was very happy. They had a promise to grow old together in this life, so he would keep the promise for life.
Now, they had made another promise in the next life. Zhengzheng was a man of his word. No matter where the sea of people was, she would keep the promise.
Wen Yu left with a smile. He completed one promise and went to the next one.
He loved this woman and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.
He didn't hear what Chi Zhengzheng said in his heart —
"Yuyu, I'm sorry."
"I won't be able to keep the next promise."
Back then, her body was already cold and she was almost dead.
Chi Zhengzheng knew Wen Yu's pain. She was screaming crazily in that white world, struggling to wake up.
But she couldn't do it no matter what!
Then, she saw a shadow.
The shadow asked her, if the price of opening her eyes was no more life, only this life, would she be willing?
Chi Zhengzheng agreed.
How could she not agree?
How could she not pay the price if she wanted to wake up and keep the promise in such a desperate situation?
Her life in the future couldn't be compared to this life with Wen Yu.
So, Yuyu, I'm sorry, I'm going to miss the promise.
Chi Zhengzheng leaned on his arm and closed his eyes completely.
Epilogue.
Chi Zhengzheng didn't know that after she and Wen Yu left together, another shadow appeared in the air.
The shadow gradually became clear. It was clearly the young Chi Zhengzheng!
No, it should be said that it was "Chi Zhengzheng" before the car accident.
An old man suddenly appeared beside the shadow. The old man asked the shadow, "Have you really decided?"
"Yes, she fulfilled my wish and let me see another possibility in life. I don't want her to disappear like this. She has already promised Wen Yu that their promise to grow old together is over, and there is still the promise of the next life, "the shadow said with envy in his voice.
As he spoke, the shadow gradually dissipated in the air and turned into nothingness.
The old man shook his head.
He looked at the woman leaning on the man's arm on the hospital bed. Her soul that was dissipating condensed again.
Then, she hurriedly chased in a direction.
The person she loved was already waiting for her ahead.
— — They still had the promise of the next life.
