Chapter 34 can't match with me.
Wen Lingshuang has many classmates in the United States, and she can't even count the number of close friends on two hands. Anne, Grace, and Claire are the three best friends among them. After Anne learned that Wen Lingshuang had gone to the United States, she organized a party and invited her friends to her home. At first, Wen Lingshuang didn't want to go, but she didn't expect to be so bored at the manor. In addition, Fang Pei persuaded her, so she agreed.
The next day, when Fang Pei came to pick her up, Jiang An had already gone to the company. Wen Lingshuang came out wearing a light green velvet dress, appropriate makeup, and sunglasses.
She was so beautiful that it was almost unbearable to look directly at her.
Fang Pei opened the passenger door.
Wen Lingshuang took off her sunglasses, glanced at herself, shook her index finger, and said, "NONONO."
Fang Pei looked at her, puzzled.
“I have a driver to take me.” Wen Lingshuang looked at him, her bright red lips opening and closing. “If I ride in your car, I’ll be in big trouble when I get home tonight.”
This is the result of Wen Lingshuang's final 'negotiation' with Jiang An last night.
That's reasonable.
It doesn't matter who rides in the car.
Fang Pei was taken aback for a moment and said, "Is Chairman Jiang so strict?"
Most importantly, she actually agreed?
Wen Lingshuang put her sunglasses back on and said, "It's not that he's strict."
As she spoke, she walked toward the car behind her, her figure swaying, "It's because I don't want to argue with him."
Fang Pei: "..."
Unexpectedly, one day he would hear such 'understanding' words from Wen Lingshuang's mouth. She was afraid of arguing with people? Fang Pei recalled the scenes of Wen Lingshuang arguing with others in the past... He couldn't help but take a deep breath, turn around and get into the car.
The car slowly drove towards Anne's villa.
Anne owns several private villas in the United States, all of which were gifts from her parents when she turned eighteen. Today, they were going to the villa located by the sea, which was not a short drive away. Wen Lingshuang fell into a deep sleep as soon as she got in the car. It wasn't until an hour and a half later, when they arrived at Anne's villa, that Fang Pei woke her up.
"baby!"
As soon as Wen Lingshuang opened her eyes, Anne hugged her tightly. Before she could even see who was who, a group of people surrounded her and held her tightly in their arms.
It's understandable that everyone is overly enthusiastic since we haven't seen each other for so long.
A group of people surrounded Wen Lingshuang as she got out of the car, bombarding her with questions about how she had been lately. She was so overwhelmed by the questions that she finally said, "Sisters, can you ask me one question at a time? Stop chattering in my ear, it's giving me a headache."
Anne glared angrily at the people around her and said, "Yeah, at least let her in first."
After saying that, he leaned close to Wen Lingshuang's ear and said, "Don't pay attention to them. Tell me, what do you think of the marriage partner?"
Wen Lingshuang rolled her eyes and walked inside in her high heels.
Anne is a complex combination. She possesses the composure and refinement of the old money, while harboring the pragmatism and ambition of the 'new rich'. Just like this villa, instead of choosing the magnificent European classical style, she opted for the avant-garde and minimalist wabi-sabi style. The spacious open space features a huge solid wood table, with a display cabinet for artworks on the left and a spiral staircase on the right. Further inside is a spacious sofa.
Wen Lingshuang acted as if she were at home, and walked over to the sofa and sat down.
As soon as she sat down, Grace poured her a glass of wine and said, "Knowing you were coming, I specially brought this from my dad's winery. It's a 1993 vintage, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Wen Lingshuang doesn't have a particularly high alcohol tolerance, but she loves to drink.
Her friends knew about her fondness for wine, and when they gave her gifts during holidays, a bottle of fine wine was always a must.
Grace said as she poured the wine, "Hey, isn't your fiancé coming?"
"Didn't I tell you? He came to America to work, not to play."
Grace and the others exchanged glances and burst out laughing.
Seeing them laugh, Wen Lingshuang frowned and said, "What are you laughing at?"
We laugh at your attempt to cover up the truth.
Grace handed her a glass of red wine and said, "Fang Pei said yesterday that you were very well-behaved in front of your fiancé, but we didn't believe it."
Wen Lingshuang turned her head and glanced at Fang Pei.
Fang Pei shrugged helplessly.
He was 'ambushed' by them as soon as he came out of Jiang An's manor yesterday, and could only reluctantly tell them what he had seen. Actually, it wasn't exactly lying. After all, how could it not be considered obedient to turn the once proud and willful Wen Lingshuang into this?
Wen Lingshuang took the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "It's settled then, I'm here to have fun today, so no one is allowed to mention my fiancé. If anyone does, I'll get angry."
“Okay.” Anne put her arm around Wen Lingshuang’s shoulder. “Let’s not talk about this. We’ve come all this way, so let’s have some fun.”
Wen Lingshuang attended high school and college in the United States. It was common for her to have private parties during her studies. Starting with Kings Cup, the atmosphere quickly became lively. Fang Pei was surrounded by several girls and had to drink several large glasses of alcohol. Everyone chatted while playing games. Halfway through the conversation, Anne suddenly remembered something, pulled Wen Lingshuang upstairs, and mysteriously told her that she had something good for her.
Upon entering Anne's room, Anne took out a backless, alluring long dress with diamond and crystal straps from the closet, along with a stack of documents.
Wen Lingshuang looked at her, puzzled.
Anne pointed to the long dress and said, "This is a gift for your arranged marriage."
He then pointed to the document and said, "This is also a gift to you for the marriage alliance."
Wen Lingshuang raised an eyebrow slightly, picked up the dress and examined it. Cut to her size, it was indeed beautiful and sexy. She looked down at the documents and found it to be a stack of divorce lawsuits and property division petitions, which included a premarital examination. Just flipping through a few pages made her scalp tingle.
AIDS, syphilis, herpes...
When those words entered her eyes, she felt as if her eyes had been polluted.
Anne looked at Wen Lingshuang's increasingly stiff face and said, "I know you've already made arrangements for premarital property and financial division, but divorce proceedings and premarital checkups are not always guaranteed. So I had my legal team prepare the necessary documents for you. Just tell me, and we can get started immediately."
Wen Lingshuang threw the documents down and said, "No prenuptial agreement, no property division, and no premarital checkup either!"
Anne was stunned.
After a long pause, she said, "Are you kidding me? You didn't do prenuptial agreement? Aren't you afraid he'll eat your bread? You're the only daughter in the Wen family."
Who is really exploiting whom and leaving no descendants?
Wen Lingshuang hadn't originally planned to speak, but Anne wasn't one to gossip, so after thinking for a moment, she sat down next to her and whispered a few words in her ear.
Those few words instantly widened Anne's eyes, then her mouth formed an "O" shape as she stared at Wen Lingshuang in disbelief. "That illegitimate child is so generous? Transferring all his assets to your name!?"
"Don't call him a bastard!" Wen Lingshuang frowned. "If you call him a bastard, what am I?"
"The illegitimate child's wife?"
Wen Lingshuang: "..."
Okay, she admits that hearing the title "Madam" felt alright. She reluctantly forgave her for calling Jiang An's illegitimate son.
“Okay, then we don’t need any of that, only this is necessary.” Anne took out the premarital checkup and placed it in Wen Lingshuang’s hand. “Tell him to get it done tomorrow. It’s run by my dad’s friend, so the privacy is absolutely guaranteed.”
"This is even less necessary."
“Just kidding, this is exactly what we need!” Anne lowered her voice. “He’s thirty-one years old. He’s probably slept with quite a few women, if not a lot. This is your first time. You’re losing out.”
Anne felt sorry for Wen Lingshuang and said, "When I heard that you were going to have a marriage alliance, I thought it would be better to be with Fang Pei. Fang Pei has been pursuing you for so long, and he hasn't given his virginity to anyone else yet."
I have no feelings for Fang Pei.
"So you have feelings for Jiang An?" Anne leaned back. "You haven't even known him for very long."
She definitely had feelings for him.
I got wet for him so many times...
Wen Lingshuang pursed her lips, "Anyway, he doesn't need to do this."
Anne, noticing Wen Lingshuang's refusal, rolled her eyes and chuckled, "So determined? Have you inspected the goods?"
Wen Lingshuang didn't say anything.
If you say anything more to someone as experienced as Anne, you'll expose your secret even more.
"How did it feel?" Anne whispered in Wen Lingshuang's ear, "Let me tell you, I met Jiang An once in the United States a long time ago. I told my sister that if he were not an illegitimate child but a legitimate member of the Jiang family, girls would probably be lining up to chase after him since elementary school."
"He's exceptional, but I'm not?" Wen Lingshuang glared at him with her round eyes. "How can you be so biased?"
“Oh my, Your Highness, of course you’re the best.” Anne laughed and put her arm around her shoulder. “Everyone in our circle wants to marry you. Don’t you know your status and position? And you’re still jealous of your fiancé.”
Anne gently pinched the tip of her nose. "Are you sure you don't want to take him for a checkup? He's thirty-one."
She deliberately chose the age of thirty-one.
I don't know if they're saying his physical functions are declining or that he's an old-fashioned person.
Wen Lingshuang shook her head. "I'm sure."
She was certain that Jiang An had not had sexual relations with other women.
Otherwise, with such superior physical attributes, no woman who slept with him even once would have said goodbye so easily, and it's even more impossible to find out about his romantic history, not to mention that time in the car...
Seeing Wen Lingshuang's resolute attitude, Anne probably guessed that the two had crossed that boundary, but it was hard to say to what extent.
The two chatted for a while before going downstairs.
*
Xining Group's branch in the US is located in the heart of the bustling CBD. Jiang An was in his office dealing with changes in senior management after finishing a meeting. Time passed by, and the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows gradually darkened. When Lon put the last stack of documents on the table, he reminded Jiang An of the time.
22:23 minutes.
Jiang An looked up slightly when he heard the time, "Call back to the manor and ask if Ling Shuang has returned."
Lon nodded, turned and walked towards the door.
A few minutes later, he came in from outside and said in a low voice, "The people at the manor said that Madam has not returned yet."
Upon hearing this, Jiang An stopped what he was doing and looked at his wristwatch.
She left home at 10 a.m., which means it's been a full 10-plus hours since then.
After a moment of contemplation, he got up and walked towards the door.
Lon didn't need to ask where he was going. The only person who could get him to drop everything and leave the house was probably that young lady who was having too much fun outside and didn't know that the house was on fire.
Around 11 p.m., Jiang An's car stopped in front of Anne's villa.
Wen Lingshuang sent him her location a long time ago, but that was in the morning, and she hasn't replied to him all day.
As Jiang An got out of the car, the salty sea breeze, mixed with the sound of waves, kept surging towards the shore. Before he even got close to the villa, he could hear deafening music coming from inside. When he walked to the fence, he looked through the gap and saw many figures in the hall through the floor-to-ceiling windows. There were men and women, all dressed in sexy and alluring clothes.
He couldn't catch a glimpse of Wen Lingshuang, but his brows furrowed as he watched the men and women embracing, dancing, and drinking.
Suddenly, someone called out, "Chairman Jiang?"
Jiang An turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, seeing Fang Pei coming out of the side door. He seemed to have drunk quite a bit, as he walked unsteadily, and several buttons on his shirt were undone. After taking a few steps, he smiled and said, "Oh, it really is Chairman Jiang, here to pick up Ling Shuang?"
"Is she inside?"
"Here." Fang Pei pointed inside. "They're having a great time. Come on over."
Fang Pei had drunk too much, so he was naturally less reserved and nervous than before. He wanted to put his arm around Jiang An's shoulder and walk inside, but before he got close, he felt a chill and finally stopped at a distance of one meter from Jiang An.
Jiang An strode inside, and the music grew louder the further he went.
As I approached the lobby entrance, I saw Wen Lingshuang, who was wearing a crystal-studded backless dress. She stood in the crowd, slightly drunk, dancing with Anne and Grace. Her dancing wasn't great, but it was hard to ignore her presence. Her fair face was flushed, and her thick, black hair was slightly messy, which added to her playful and messy beauty. In the dim light, her excellent curves were outlined even more alluringly sexy.
Those two soft, snow-like mounds swayed as they danced.
Jiang An noticed the veins near his temples throbbing.
Wen Lingshuang, unaware of Jiang An's arrival, put her arm around Anne's shoulder and said with a smile, "You're not allowed to say bad things about Jiang An. He's a really good person, and he hasn't messed around at all. He's so good to me... so good..."
"Your Highness, can you say something else? I've been listening to you say he's so good all night."
"Hehe." Wen Lingshuang leaned on Anne's shoulder, clearly drunk, and said with a laugh, "Then let's change the word, super, big."
"What do you mean, 'super big'?"
A group of people gathered around, their eyes shining as they looked at her. "Tell us, tell us, what's so big about it?"
As Wen Lingshuang watched them gather around, she felt a wave of nausea wash over her. Fighting back her nausea, she said, "What else could it be? It's just...that..."
Before she could finish speaking, a large hand reached out from behind, wrapped around Wen Lingshuang's slender waist, and whispered, "Are you drunk?"
Before anyone could react, Wen Lingshuang was turned around and held in Jiang An's arms.
Then an even more explosive voice came from his arms, muffled, "He's huge, he's not a match for me."
Jiang An's veins throbbed twice more.
