Ying Feiran: "Didn't you say that Zong Hao was exceptionally good, incredibly capable, outstanding, and talented? How come someone so amazing can't even support his own woman?"

After a year of hardship outside, Ying Aoxue could no longer be arrogant. "Brother, he has neither family background nor funds. No matter how capable he is, he can't make a difference."

Brother, please help us, otherwise I'll have to go home and ask my parents for help.

Looking for my parents? That won't do.

He hasn't fully grasped the good things his parents have yet.

"Alright, aren't you afraid Dad will break Zonghao's legs?"

Here, you have a million to spend first. Just don't let Dad catch you. Of course, if you want to give up Zonghao, then it doesn't matter.

One million was a bit little, but if they were careful, it would be enough for them to live on for a while. Ying Aoxue took the card and ran away.

Ning Yan: ...This is truly a rare find, a brother like him!

After Ying Aoxue left, Ning Yan took the documents inside for Ying Feiran to sign. However, after he signed them, Ying Feiran didn't return the documents for a long time. Ning Yan looked up and realized that he was staring at her neck.

Ning Yan frowned. "What are you looking at? Is it strange for married couples to have some marks on their bodies?"

Ying Feiran: "You two have a very good relationship?"

Ning Yan didn't answer him. Instead, she started playing matchmaker, "President, you really should start dating."

Otherwise, who will spend all that money you swindled?

"You've got some nerve. Don't you want a promotion?"

Ning Yan shrugged. "It doesn't matter. We're not short of money at home. I'm still working at the company. The main problem is that my husband has to go to work every day, and waiting for him to come home every day would make me feel very bored."

Ying Feiran felt a tightness in her chest.

Okay, you're bored, aren't you?

At the end of the year, Ning Yan was promoted again.

The planning department manager was transferred to manage a branch office and was promoted.

And she became the department manager.

My salary has gone up yet again.

But she really didn't care much.

Because Deng Jinyi's job prevents him from being too flamboyant, and she is the kind of person who can live well in good times and also in ordinary times. She has no shortage of houses and cars, and she really doesn't have any big ambitions.

On the contrary, after the promotion, there were more meetings, overtime, and business trips. I really hate seeing Ying Feiran's lonely and widowed face.

So, she would occasionally advise him, "President, you should find a girlfriend soon, or even a boyfriend. You're always all alone, and you earn so much money but no one will spend it for you. What are you busy with?"

Every time she said that, she was met with a big eye roll from Ying Feiran, who thought everyone was like her, getting married after just one blind date. She didn't even know how to choose properly.

Okay, he admitted that Deng Jinyi was indeed outstanding, already a division-level cadre at a young age, and he was very good to her. The two had always been very loving. But if she had chosen him back then, he could have made her very happy too.

However, she said this for several years, and she has become the CFO, while he is still single.

Oh, I have to say, Ying Feiran is a bit shady and fake, but he treats his subordinates quite well. After she became pregnant, he transferred her to the finance department, and after the previous director left, she became the finance director.

When Deng Rui was two years old, the nanny took leave, so Ning Yan brought the child to the company. Ying Feiran took the child to his office to play, and Ning Yan didn't interfere.

When it was time to leave work, she was told to pick someone up at the coffee shop across from the company.

She rushed to the coffee shop and found that the little guy's clothes had been changed. A pretty lady was coaxing Deng Rui, and Ying Feiran's fake smile had disappeared, replaced by a faint joy in her eyes as she looked at the girl.

"RuiRui, we should go."

"Mommy! Mommy's here!"

Little Deng Ruirui ran to his mother, Ning Yan. Afraid that he would fall, she quickly squatted down and opened her arms, waiting for him to rush into her embrace.

"Mom, Uncle just gave Rui Rui some cake."

Ning Yan picked up the child and looked at Ying Feiran, "Thank you for taking care of the child for me, President. You two continue your conversation, I'll head back now."

The older single guy has finally figured it out and knows how to flirt with girls. His mother is so proud of him.

They've been colleagues for so many years, as superiors and subordinates, and also as friends. They're genuinely happy to see him finally find a partner.

"Come on, Rui Rui, say goodbye to your uncle and aunt."

The little guy called out in his childish voice, "Uncle, Auntie, see you at the village."

The two waved to him, "Goodbye, Rui Rui."

Ning Yan left with the child in her arms, and the coffee shop was filled with pink bubbles around the two of them.

Two days later, Ying Aoxue reappeared.

This kind of scene seems to happen every year, but this time the outcome was a little different.

"Brother, he lost money in business again, could you lend me some more?"

Ying Feiran: "I've heard this four times already. Six years have passed, and you still haven't seen through him?"

Aoxue, you clearly abandoned Zonghao and returned to the Ying family, yet you are still a high-and-mighty young lady. Why do you insist on being tied to that crooked tree of Zonghao?

Is the plain porridge he cooks really that delicious?

Ying Aoxue burst into tears. He had stopped cooking plain porridge for her a long time ago; she had been the one serving him for the past few years!

She went from being a high-class young lady to a maid serving him. Whenever he was in a bad mood, she became the target of his anger. He not only tormented her in bed, but sometimes he would also hit her. If it weren't for the fact that she could still get money from her brother, he probably would have dumped her long ago.

“I could actually beat him up and make him treat you better, but that wouldn’t do you any good. Even if I broke you up, you wouldn’t give up until you experienced that kind of suffering yourself.”

This time I won't give you any money. It's up to you whether you go back to Zong Hao and face reality, or abandon him and go home.

He'd gotten everything he could, and he didn't mind Ying Aoxue going home.

It's just one more person to support, which he can afford.

When Ying Aoxue left, her face was pale, but her eyes shone with light. He was just a man. Even if she had misjudged him, it didn't matter. She still had a way out, someone to rely on, and she could choose again!

...

There were many things to do at the end of the year, and there was a company party in the evening. Ning Yan got home after 10 p.m., but the study light was still on, and her son had already fallen asleep.

Hearing the noise, the study door opened. "You're back?"

Ning Yan lowered her head to change her shoes. "Um, honey, I've had too much to drink."

Helpless, Deng Jinyi went over to help her change her shoes, then picked her up and carried her back to the room. "Ugh, I need to take a shower."

"You lie down first, I'll go run the toilet."

Ning Yan then obediently lay down on the bed. She wasn't drunk, but she enjoyed the slightly tipsy feeling after a few drinks, and she also enjoyed her husband's meticulous care for her...

When the man came out of the bathroom, he quickly stripped her naked. Ning Yan opened her eyes slightly and realized that he was also naked.

He wasn't even wearing underwear.

"Why are you blushing? We haven't done it for three days. You have to make it up to me tonight."

Ning Yan: "You're getting more and more shameless."

What does it mean if I haven't done it for three days?

He was the one who went to work at the grassroots level before, okay?

The man chuckled softly, kissed her forehead, and then carried her into the bathroom.

More than an hour after he got back into bed, he brought up the topic again, "If only I had met you sooner?"

If they had met in college, he would have dragged her into taking the civil service exam together, so they could have become colleagues and spent every day together.

If they had met in high school, he could have had a sweet romance with her, and they would have become the most enviable couple on campus.

However, if they met in college and he was still a failure, she might not have been interested in him.

If they met in high school, they might not get into university, their grades might drop because of early romance, or their long-distance relationship might end prematurely.

Only that time and that scene were the best time for them to meet. He was already successful in his career, and she had been in the workforce for two years and knew what was most suitable for her.

As expected, fate had arranged the best possible encounter for them! (End of Chapter)
