Chapter 8.08 Unable to Leave Each Other
-
After finishing work that day, her assistant Lu Ya handed her a long down jacket and a cell phone, saying, "Ningning, there was a phone call just now."
"Oh, I'll call back later."
She unlocked her phone and glanced at it; it was Shen Yueze's. Seeing that she didn't answer, she sent a few more messages.
Are you feeling better?
That bastard pinned her down on the bed and did it to her several times two days ago; she still remembers it vividly.
He remembered her after he finished his work.
Wen Yining replied irritably: 【What are you asking about?】
Shen Yueze: [What kind of discomfort do you feel?]
Wen Yining: [There are too many places.]
Shen Yueze: [Throat? It was only done once.]
She tried coughing and felt fine, except for a slight nasal tone when she first woke up that day.
He asked again, "Or the legs?"
She didn't reply.
Shen Yueze: [As long as my body feels good, that's enough.]
She knew he wasn't serious.
Intentionally typed: "It's alright."
Shen Yueze: [I guess it's because you haven't done it for too long, and you're not used to it yet. It seems we'll have to meet every week. Once you do it more often, you'll get used to it.]

The cold in the north is a dry cold, biting and arid, not just low temperature. The streets have a desolate and bone-chilling feeling. When you breathe, the cold wind will rush into your lungs through your respiratory tract, and you can also smell the smog.
Wen Yining is a native of northern China, but her hometown is not in Beicheng. She did not live here before she went to high school. Later, her father opened a small company here, and her family moved here as well.
Now that her parents have passed away, she has two older brothers. Her eldest brother is a little better and still has some brotherly affection for her. Her second brother is rather selfish and rarely thinks about her. She used to resent him, but as she grew up, she realized that everyone is selfish, and she became much more indifferent to it.
A few days before the Lunar New Year.
Her second brother and sister-in-law invited her out to play after she finished work in the evening.
She was removing her makeup. The role required her to wear light makeup, and the difference after makeup was not significant; her skin was clean and flawless.
Especially her eyes, they are very beautiful and memorable.
My phone was on the bathroom counter in the hotel, a few water droplets on the screen. It was on speakerphone while I was busy applying skincare products.
He replied half-heartedly, "I've been too busy lately, I don't want to go, I want to sleep in my room."
Wen Yichuan said in a smug tone, "It's almost Chinese New Year, aren't you planning to meet your brother and sister-in-law? Stop sleeping, you're out having fun, you can't sleep anytime!"
"Are there many people? Is it chaotic? I won't go to places that are too chaotic. It wouldn't be good if I got photographed. If I become famous in the future, I can't hang out with a playboy like you."
"What, you're going to cut ties with your own brother? I see you're acting like a big star even before you're famous, huh? We can't even get you to come anymore."
"I don't miss you, but your sister-in-law does. Hurry up, stop dawdling."
Wen Yining was too lazy to waste words with her second brother, so she directly asked for his address. Otherwise, he would have to call and bother her again, since he had always been very talkative since he was a child.
After applying serum, face cream, and hand cream, I sprayed on some perfume. I changed from a dress into warm trousers and a trench coat, with a tight-fitting inner layer underneath. It was too cold outside, not as warm as when I was at school.
When I left, I drove a very understated black Porsche Cayenne.
While waiting at the traffic light, a couple walked by, chatting and laughing. They looked quite young, either high school students or college students.
The girl had on elaborate makeup, bangs, and wore a JK uniform. Her knees were red from the cold, but when she chatted with the boy, her eyes were filled with anticipation and excitement, as if she had forgotten all about the cold.
This reminded her of her student days, when she would deliberately wear very little clothing in winter to pursue her love life, as if she didn't feel the cold.
However, the person holding her hand at that time was not Shen Yueze.
It's her ex-boyfriend, Chen Jiabai.
The driver of the car behind her saw that the light had turned green but she hadn't moved, so he honked his horn to remind her.
She snapped out of her daze and continued driving.
My second brother called again, and I connected to the car's Bluetooth. The call went through.
Wen Yichuan: "Hey, little sister."
"What are you doing?"
Upon hearing that insincere and flattering tone, she knew it couldn't be anything good.
"I heard your husband gave you a McLaren a while ago. Why don't you drive it over today and let me see it?"
"I drove a Cayenne today."
He added, "It's a new car, I can't lend it to you, don't even think about it."
"I didn't borrow it from you, but he's been really kind to you."
Shen Yueze had given her many luxury cars, and she could choose any model and color she wanted, even limited editions were fine with him. He had always been very generous when it came to material things.
Driving a sports car or a Rolls-Royce or Maybach certainly gives you a sense of status, but it's too ostentatious, and the two seats aren't enough to carry passengers, which is inconvenient.
-
Her second brother, Wen Yichuan, and sister-in-law, Bai Jiahe, were waiting for her at the mall.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, discounts are being offered everywhere. Even big-name skincare brands are running promotions with discounts for purchases over a certain amount, and some are even giving away full-size products. Supermarkets are packed with people, and as soon as you enter, you are surrounded by the enticing aroma of food. The aroma from dessert shops is the most intense, and it makes you feel very happy.
During this period, the whole family went out to the supermarket, including the elderly, children, couples, and lovers.
"Are you a snail? You're driving so slowly."
"Oh dear, there are so many traffic lights on the road, it's causing traffic jams."
She smoothed her long hair, which had been ruffled by the wind.
"Why are you driving in high heels? You're a road menace!"
“You drive such an expensive car every day, and if you scratch or bump it, you’ll lose tens of thousands of yuan.”
Wen Yichuan glanced down at the shoes she was wearing today and said speechlessly.
Bai Jiahe frowned impatiently and interrupted her, "Shen Yueze is so generous, he wouldn't care about such a small amount of money. You should say less, it's the New Year."
She then smiled sweetly to ease the tension, "Ningning, we watched the show you were on at home. We didn't expect you to look so good on camera, just like in real life. Usually, people look a little worse on camera. Photos and videos are definitely not as good as in person."
"It seems like a very famous makeup artist did my makeup that time; they are indeed very professional."
Bai Jiahe is her sister-in-law. She was wearing a Chanel-style suit, a necklace worth over 100,000 yuan around her neck, and a small LV handbag. She was not tall and her features were not particularly delicate, but her outfit was exquisite and elegant.
He familiarly took her arm and continued, "I thought you were without makeup, and you're so fair and thin."
She whispered again, "Her breasts are quite large."
Wen Yining was amused and remembered the matter she was supposed to handle. "Didn't you take a fancy to my Vacheron Constantin? I'll give you one. Hey, let's take a look today."
It was bought for her by Shen Yueze. It wasn't expensive for him, around 250,000 yuan.
Back in school, Bai Jiahe was a typical rich and beautiful girl. She treated her exceptionally well, even better than her own brother. Part of the reason was probably to try and get along with her. She was very generous with money, and several Chanel bags were gifts from her.
"How much allowance do you get now? Is it given to you regularly each month, or is there no limit?"
"I swiped his card, and he received a notification but didn't give me the cash."
"He is a very possessive person."
She paused for a moment, then answered truthfully, "He's worried I'll use his money to buy things for other guys, you know?"
"Huh? You're still in contact with Chen Jiabai?"
The dramatic events that happened during their school years were witnessed by everyone around them. The unpleasantness between the two rich kids is still vivid in their minds.
"No, we haven't been in contact for a long time, but that's just how he is."
Wen Yichuan: "Don't tell me you don't even have 100,000 yuan in your phone right now."
"About that, it adds up to fifty or sixty thousand. What are you worried about? I'm not giving you a New Year's gift."
Wen Yichuan shamelessly dragged her into the Rolex boutique.
"You've married into a wealthy family and you don't even think about taking care of your own brother. You're such a jerk. I used to treat you so well."
Wen Yining said coldly, "Can you put your hand on your heart before you speak? Even if I were to give you a gift, I would only buy it for my older brother, not for you."
Wen Yichuan asked the saleswoman to bring out the watches, and took a liking to a Rolex priced at 380,000 yuan. "What do you think?"
Wen Yining wasn't the type to spend money on others casually, so she ignored him completely and took her sister-in-law's arm to another counter.
I bought a women's watch, the "World of Watches," and gave it to my sister-in-law. "I haven't had any money to buy you anything expensive before. You even bought me my first Chanel, do you remember?"
She was still in high school at the time. Her father, who favored boys over girls, would never allow her to buy luxury goods when she was young.
Wen Yichuan and Bai Jiahe studied in Canada together. When he came back for holidays, he would give her necklaces, bags, cosmetics and the like. The expensive ones cost tens of thousands of yuan, and the cosmetics were all several hundred yuan.
Then Wen Yichuan would stop her, saying it wasn't necessary, she was only 15 years old, the age to carry a schoolbag, did she need Chanel?
Bai Jiahe picked up the card Shen Yueze had given her and looked at it. "Being Shen Yueze's wife must be awesome, right?"
During the two seconds of hesitation, many thoughts flashed through Wen Yining's mind.
He is suspicious, has a strong sex drive, and a bad personality.
She didn't answer what it felt like to be his wife, only saying, "The best feeling is spending money."
The saleswoman had been looking them up and down since they came in, assessing their wealth and knowing they had considerable spending power. She continued in a sweet voice, saying that her skin was fair and that the watch suited her perfectly.
She glanced at it and said, "We already have the exact same one at home."
The saleswoman stopped her sales pitch after hearing this.
Bai Jiahe agreed, "Haha, that's true. Although some people say that spending your own money is the most comfortable, I don't think so. That's because they haven't experienced what it's like to spend someone else's money."
They are a typical example: one relies on her parents, and the other relies on her husband.
Then Wen Yichuan wasn't very capable; he could be considered someone who relied on women.
Bai Jiahe wasn't his first girlfriend, nor would she be his last. He had two other girlfriends in between, both with Wen Yining knowing about them. And he specifically chose wealthy and beautiful women with plenty of money.
Girls are more love-obsessed than boys, so when it comes to how to be supported by a partner, Wen Yichuan is much smarter than her.
Right now, he's already figuring out how to get Bai Jiahe to give him that 380,000 yuan Rolex.
He spoke sweetly, "Once that money arrives in my account, I'll buy you whatever you want, okay, baby?"
Bai Jiahe has wavered.
Wen Yining really didn't know why he was so shameless. He had been like this since he was a child, but it was precisely because he was so carefree that he was the happiest.
Unable to stand his attitude any longer, she retorted, "Now you're no different from a gigolo!"
Wen Yichuan is the kind of person who can get by in any group by being glib and shameless.
When he was in school, his teachers didn't care that he was a bad student because he was clever and fun.
In the circles of second-generation rich kids, you don't offend anyone; you greet each other like brothers, feeling like you've known each other for ages.
When they fall in love, they call each other "baby" and "darling," making the other person willingly spend money on them.
They didn't manage to buy the Rolex; the people at the villa called to urge them to quickly buy some groceries to take home.
Wen Yining grabbed a few bags of potato chips, yogurt, beef jerky, preserved plums, and other snacks she liked, and threw them into her shopping cart. Then she remembered that Shen Yueze also loved snacks, and realized that she hadn't bought him a New Year's gift yet.
I saw Bai Jiahe walk away to buy cherries, and I could no longer hear their conversation.
Wen Yining continued to complain about her second brother: "You're almost 30 years old, how come you're still as unreliable as an 18-year-old?"
"Don't your sister-in-law's parents have any objections to you?"
"Did her dad lend you some money? It was a loan, but you didn't actually have to pay it back, right?"
Bai's father dotes on his daughter and doesn't have high demands. Instead, he wants a son-in-law who will live with him, but Wen Yichuan, who was raised in a wealthy family, doesn't want to be one.
"Hey,"
Wen Yichuan shamelessly said, "Aren't we in similar situations? We both rely on others for support."
"..."
Yes, it is.
"The only difference is that Bai Jiahe is completely devoted to me,"
"But Shen Yueze is just playing with you. Ha, a prince like him might be having affairs with several at the same time."
"I really don't think there's anything wrong with men who live off women. Everyone has their own abilities, so what? Let me tell you, Wen Yining, there are only people who envy me and are jealous of me."
“…”
Wen Yining was speechless at his self-righteous and matter-of-fact attitude, and threw some more packaged strawberries into the shopping cart.
Actually, before the gossip about her and Shen Yueze came out, her nickname in the second-generation elite circle was mostly Wen Yichuan's sister. Yes, Wen Yichuan was much more famous than her, and with a bad reputation.
She felt ashamed at the time and didn't want to be his sister.
Every now and then, guys would ask her, "Hey, what method did your brother use to get her? Did he share any tips with you? I think I'm a bit more handsome than your brother, so why aren't any girls as friendly towards me?"
If a girl is being kept by someone, or if her boyfriend is a rich second-generation, she will most likely be the subject of gossip.
The same goes for boys; everyone is about the same level of gossip.
So sometimes in public, she doesn't want to talk to her good-for-nothing brother, Wen Yichuan, and is too lazy to even say a word. She always feels that people are looking at her with prejudice.
But things are much better now, after all, according to rumors, she's not much more glamorous than him.
Wen Yichuan and his sister are equally matched.
-
Passing by the household goods section, I saw a shelf piled high with colorful condoms: hyaluronic acid, 001, 003, ultra-thin, ultra-hydrating…
She remembered that the house seemed to be almost empty, but he was usually the one who bought these things.
She bought one too, but he didn't like it, saying it was uncomfortable to wear and had too strong a rubber smell.
Wen Yichuan grabbed two boxes and threw them into the shopping cart, making no attempt to hide it. He pushed the cart a couple of steps, glancing at his sister as if to ask her something.
Wen Yining glanced at him and said, "What are you doing? Just say what you have to say."
"You don't plan to have children."
"I'm still so young, why would I want a child? It's too early."
Bai Jiahe had bought a bunch of seafood and meat for dinner that night. She happened to overhear the conversation and joined in.
He casually remarked, "But having a baby would make your position more secure. Didn't you say before that your dad was very opposed to you two being together?"
Wen Yining had certainly considered these things, "He might not want it."
The engagement was only for three years. What will happen to the child after they separate? It's definitely not possible to give her to her.
What if the stepmother is very vicious?
Wen Yichuan looked at her with a disappointed expression, and sighed.
"Does it matter whether he wants it or not? If he's really pregnant, he won't let you abort it. Don't you understand the principle of acting first and asking questions later?"
"If he divorces me, what will happen to the children? Do you think the Shen family will let me take them with me?"
She knew what kind of person his father was; she'd had dealings with him before.
They'll say she can't raise anything good, they won't give her their children, and they prefer a daughter-in-law with high education, high emotional intelligence, and a gentle and proper demeanor.
Or, perhaps, they have a father who is a high-ranking official, or a relative.
Wen Yining: "I know what you mean, that you can keep demanding exorbitant child support payments just because you have a child."
"Many people do this, but given his personality, if he gives up on me, he has plenty of ways to prevent me from seeing him."
From the day he took a liking to her, who she wanted to be with, what she wanted to date, and whether she broke up with Chen Jiabai were all decided by him.
He never asks for her opinion.
Wen Yichuan shook his head speechlessly, "If you don't have a child, there are plenty of women outside who want to have his children."
Bai Jiahe: "That's true. Which woman who marries into a wealthy family hasn't had two or three children? There are too many mistresses and concubines outside, and they're even thinking about having a bunch of illegitimate children."
Although Bai Jiahe finds mistresses and illegitimate children disgusting, and there are even peers around her whose children are born to mistresses...
But undeniably, they all lived very comfortably, with their biological fathers being generous with their money.
Money is everything; nothing else matters.
Wen Yichuan: "You're lucky you're good-looking, otherwise, with your brains, you'd never be a rich young master of his social class."
“I think they’re all after your face and figure. This novelty will only last a short time. I even wanted to teach you some tips on how to keep a man, but you don’t learn.”
Before his father passed away, Wen was a pampered young master who never lifted a finger. He drove Ferraris and Porsches, frequented nightclubs and bars, and slept with so many sexy girls that he couldn't count them on one hand.
So of course they understand how many temptations men face outside, and how easily they can't resist.
"You have no idea how seductive those girls are."
How many times?
Wen Yichuan was also a womanizer for a time. When he was a teenager studying in Vancouver, he liked to associate with bad friends. The people he heard about and saw were not people that a decent person could accept.
"Don't even mention small-time models or internet celebrities. Just look at your own stars, there are quite a few who are particularly promiscuous."
Wen Yining said, "Keep your experience for yourself." But listening to their casual conversation reminded her of that night at the hotel when he received a semi-nude photo from Yan Xi on his phone.
So I told my brother and sister-in-law about it.
Bai Jiahe remembered this person, "Yan Xi? You mean the one who's not very tall, but has a big chest, right? Hey, didn't she used to chase after Chen Jiabai? Is that her?"
Wen Yining attended a film academy, so it's quite normal for her to run into university classmates within the entertainment industry.
Many of my classmates have entered the entertainment industry, and one girl has even made a name for herself.
"Yes, it was her. She posted several photos of sexy lingerie, and he saw them and said she had a good figure."
Wen Yichuan said with certainty, "Damn, I'm telling you, they're definitely having an affair."
"Why?"
"Are there any other chat logs from before? Didn't you check them?"
After flirting with someone, Wen Yichuan would casually delete the messages so his partner wouldn't notice anything. However, since he was going to be a live-in son-in-law, he was inevitably cautious.
The Crown Prince doesn't need to please anyone, of course he doesn't.
Wen Yining: "There was nothing in front of it, just the friend request history."
"How can you be so certain?"
She instinctively felt that the two had nothing to do with each other.
Wen Yichuan: "Did you save it? Show me what kind of photos you want, so I can analyze them for you from a man's perspective."
Bai Jiahe immediately slapped him, "You just want to see other people's sexy nude photos, right?"
He teased, casually putting his arm around Bai Jiahe's waist, "Wife, you've worn them before, why would I need to look at other people's? Yours is enough at home..."
...
After settling the bill and comforting his girlfriend, the cashier didn't forget to tell Wen Yining, "When we get back, I really have to teach you how to please men."
After all, if his brother-in-law is in a good mood, it will also benefit him.
Wen Yining turned her face to the other side, "I don't want to hear it, don't talk to me."
"Okay, then I'll have your sister-in-law tell you."
"I won't listen."
"Food and sex are human nature; you must remember that."
Appetite and sexual desire are the most basic human desires.
Bai Jiahe: "There are many ways to please someone... do you know role-playing?"
“If you two have a fight, or if you make him angry, then of course you have to coax him in bed.”
Wen Yining: "He's the one who often makes me angry."
She just doesn't throw things or get angry; she usually handles it herself and distracts herself.
When he gets angry, he throws and smashes things, and they're very expensive.
While eating a candied hawthorn, Bai Jiahe casually asked, "Does he comfort you in bed?"
Everyone understands what "哄" (coax/entice) means.
Her ears turned slightly red, and many images of him without clothes replayed in her mind.
Well, after hearing what her sister-in-law said, Wen Yining understood why her brother and sister-in-law had separated several times but were still together now.
Wen Yichuan continued to express his views, "Maintaining a marriage is actually very simple: money, sex, and emotional value."
"But as long as you have any one of these, you can get by, though you might not be very happy."
"If someone has two of these qualities, then their relationship is definitely exceptionally good and they are very loving."
"And you, how many things can you give him?"
She pondered for a moment. Money was definitely out of the question; forget about it. Shen Yueze would never be short of money in his entire life.
Wen Yichuan said with particular confidence, "That's why I say people with harmonious sex lives will never get divorced. Even if they no longer have feelings for each other, they can't live without each other."
