Translator: 549690339
Dong Wan was feeling an intricate mix of emotions at the moment as well, a hint of bitterness permeating amongst them. After all, she was considered a princess in her own right, the sixth daughter of the esteemed Dong family. In Jingcheng, she was someone pursued by countless individuals. Even Dong Wan herself couldn’t believe that she had fallen to the point where she was now competing against a young girl over a man.
Yet, Dong Wan understood that this was love, this was her faith. Her heart that remained calm and undisturbed for twenty years was now greatly stirred by Nie Zhenbang.
Ever since their encounter at Yu Ying School, when Nie Zhenbang began to ignore her, a seed had been planted within Dong Wan’s heart. Upon careful contemplation, their interactions and exchanges had not been many. However, the subsequent car race had thrown a stone into Dong Wan’s previously calm life. From that moment on, Dong Wan began to contemplate. After three years of separation, Dong Wan realized that Nie Zhenbang’s shadow had somehow cast itself into the recesses of her heart, although it remained a faint silhouette.
Following that, their interactions deepened each time they met. This accumulation of feelings lead to an all-consuming explosion of emotions. Losing herself in the heat of passion after a few drinks was something that came naturally to her.
Shortly after, Dong Wan managed to adjust her mentality. With a warm smile and a dignified air about her, she said, “Anna, of course, I remember you. Back in the day, you were always following around behind your brother An Bang. I used to look after you.”
Yang Anna felt slightly embarrassed at the moment as she stepped forward to gently grasp Dong Wan’s hand, playfully saying, “Sister Dong Wan! How could you say that and embarrass me in front of Brother Zhenbang?”
Her innocent demeanor made everyone smile knowingly. Nearby, Li Lixue also broke into laughter, suggesting, “Anna and Sister Dong Wan, please have a seat on the couch in the living room. As the old saying goes, standing guests will leave quickly. Let’s consider this place as our own home.”
Nie Zhenbang also chuckled in response. Originally, he thought Yang Anna would pull a long face, showing off her pride. If that were the case, Nie
Zhenbang would be troubled about how to handle this. However, seeing Yang Anna’s current behavior brought a grin to his face, as it did not fit the usual mold.
Upon hearing Li Lixue’s words, he joined in, saying, “Exactly, exactly. This place is my property; it is my home after all.”
Upon hearing that, Dong Wan and Yang Anna simultaneously retorted, “Who asked you?”
This exchange lightened the mood amongst them greatly. Upon entering the voluminous suite, even the worldly Yang Anna was taken aback, her mouth dropping open in astonishment as if she had walked into a fairy tale. The real Italian leather sofas seemed to be a rare commodity. As soon as the three of them sat down, Yang Anna turned to Nie Zhenbang once more, “Brother Zhenbang, could you please leave us alone for a while? Perhaps go to the library and read some books? We women have a lot of things to discuss.”
Upon hearing Yang Anna’s words, Nie Zhenbang burst into laughter. He found it amusing that this seventeen-year-old girl would use the term “we women”. But seeing the three women looking at him unitedly, Nie Zhenbang quickly understood the situation and stood up saying, “Okay okay okay, I will go to the library to read then. Ah, just one question…where am I supposed to sleep tonight?”
This time, even Li Lixue chimed in unison with the rest, “The library.”
While Nie Zhenbang appeared disgruntled, internally he was exhilarated. He had initially feared a stormy ending but was pleasantly surprised to find warm sunlight and a gentle spring breeze instead. Probably, even Yang Anbang wouldn’t have expected his pampered younger sister to have this kind of demeanor.
Nie Zhenbang was uncertain about what the three women were discussing amongst themselves, but starting from the next morning, the relationship amongst the three women had improved significantly, almost as if they were one. However, Yang Anna seemed to be the primary figure amongst them.
Seizing the opportunity after Anna left, Nie Zhenbang quietly approached Dong Wan and gently embraced her petite waist from behind. This sudden action caused Dong Wan, who was standing on the ninth-floor balcony and enjoying the scenery, to tremble slightly.
As someone who had been intimate with Nie Zhenbang, Dong Wan’s body was considerably more sensitive compared to Yang Anna and Li Lixue. However, Dong Wan didn’t turn around; instead, she softly clinched Nie Zhenbang’s hand.
“Wan, I’m sorry for the discomfort I’ve caused you,” Nie Zhenbang whispered into her ear, his voice low and deep.
His words made Dong Wan shiver slightly. After a moment of silence, she softly replied, “Zhenbang, no, don’t apologize, I wholeheartedly accept everything. ”
While saying this, Dong Wan turned around to face Nie Zhenbang, she raised her head and looked up at him, “I know what you want to say. Things like family status, beauty—those are just given by our forefathers. I don’t want you to feel burdened. Just treat me, Lixue, and Anna well; that would be enough. The man I fell in love with was not one to wallow in self-pity. He was that fearless Nie Zhenbang who dared to have a car race at 120 miles per hour, alerting the entire Jingcheng police force.”
Upon hearing Dong Wan’s words, Nie Zhenbang’s face was filled with emotion, he thought, “To have such a wife, what more could a man desire?”
Jingcheng City International Airport
At the international terminal, Nie Zhenbang, Dong Wan, and Li Lixue stand together. Over the past month in Jingcheng, their relationship with Yang Anna has grown closer. Thanks to the connection of Nie Zhenbang, the three of them now feel like family.
Moreover, according to Yang Anna’s plan, their room for progress has been neatly divided. Dong Wan and Li Lixue will undertake commercial development based on Nie Zhenbang’s current assets and become the decision-makers for the business sector. In this way, Nie Zhenbang should no longer make any economic mistakes in the future.
As for Yang Anna, she has already made her decision. Surprisingly, she intends to study international relations in university, hoping to assist Nie Zhenbang in the future.
In the golden autumn of October, the weather gradually turns cooler. At this moment, Yang Anna, with a heavy suitcase, looks downcast as she turns to Dong Wan and says, “Sister Wan, I don’t want to leave. I think I should return and study in our country instead. I’m not going to Australia anymore.”
Hearing Yang Anna’s childish outburst, the three of them couldn’t help but smile. Among the three women, Dong Wan, though subordinate to Yang Anna, holds great credibility. She looks at Yang Anna, who is pouting her reluctance, and smiles, “Anna, this is not the time to throw tantrums. A temporary parting is for the sake of a more permanent reunion. Haven’t you decided to help your brother Zhenbang? How can you give up so easily?”
In front of Dong Wan, Anna’s temper has no chance. Hearing these words, she fell silent for a moment before pouting, “Ok then. But make sure to look after brother Zhenbang. Don’t let him make another mess.”
Nie Zhenbang, standing to one side, was left in an embarrassing situation. He gave an awkward laugh, took Anna’s luggage and passport, and the plane ticket, then said, “Uh, Anna, I’ll go ahead and handle your boarding process.” Time flies and in the blink of an eye, two years have gone by. Nie Zhenbang has had a comfortable time at the Youth League Committee. Since the development of the Youth Civilization Program, it has received a lot of positive feedback. The program has been implemented nationwide in the second year, resulting in the emergence of city and provincial youth civilization programs, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Nie Zhenbang has remained steady in his position. During these two years, with the cooperation of Li Lixue and Dong Wan, a perfect combination of business and power was achieved.
After the Wal-Mart Group’s two years of dedicated development, its business network has now spread across the country.
In Jingcheng, the most famous shopping mall now is Wal-Mart. At the newly opened Chanel counter within Wal-Mart.
Nie Zhenbang, dressed in a black suit paired with his 1.8-meter height and proportionate physique, fits clothes perfectly like a natural hanger.
Dong Wan and Li Lixue are trying on clothes, a sight that has been repeated numerous times in the past two years. Even when Anna came back during the winter and summer vacations, the four of them shopping together wasn’t uncommon.
Two beautiful women, one cool and glamorous, the other with a western face.
Accompanied by a man, they are naturally the focus of everyone’s attention. Fortunately, Nie Zhenbang seems to have adapted to this lifestyle after two years of practice and exhibits a calm demeanor.
At this moment, Dong Wan and Li Lixue have come out of the fitting room. Dong Wan wears a white professional-style suit, while Li Lixue wears a black one. Paired with Li Lixue’s fair skin, both of them look dazzling, giving off a tempting vibe.
“Zhenbang, what do you think?” Li Lixue turns in a circle and asks Nie Zhenbang with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Nie Zhenbang also stands up. He scrutinizes their outfits and then provides his observations, “Hmm, excellent. The color suits your complexion well. The design of the clothes is very good. Is this the new collection for this year?”
Over the past two years, Nie Zhenbang has seen many such instances. At first, he used phrases like “Hmm,” “Ah,” “Not bad,” “Okay,” to replace his thoughts. But, such an obvious attempt to brush them off was unanimously objected to by the three women. As time passed, Nie Zhenbang got used to this routine.
Just then, Nie Zhenbang’s mobile phone rang abruptly. The brick-like model represents the most advanced mobile phone of the time. However, they were not referred to as mobiles at the time, and most people liked to call them “Big Brother”.
Looking at the number on the screen, Nie Zhenbang was taken aback. It was his grandfather’s home number. Could something have happened at home? Upon answering the call, his grandfather’s voice comes through, “Zhenbang, can you come home tonight? Your uncle and father are both here. Let’s gather with the family.”
