"Sotis there are people and things that make us want to blindly follow our hearts, even knowing it’s wrong. That’s the power of love. I’m like that, and so is Dao Dao. Co here, wife~"
Alright, to elevate such shaless behavior to a philosophical level, Yu Xiaoqiang, you win.
Qian pushed him lightly, pretending to resist.
"Those embroiled in the situation are confused, while onlookers see clearly," Qian and Yu Minglang could understand, but Narcissus was oblivious.
From the mont Zhu Dexi hugged her, she had tried her best to push him away—though her determination was strong, her hands were weak, only capable of pushing against soft cotton.
Ultimately, she was tightly held in his arms.
"Let go."
"I won’t!"
"Didn’t you hear say I’m pregnant?"
"If you’re really pregnant and willing to keep the baby, I’m willing to take care of you. But I know you’re just trying to anger ; you’re not pregnant."
"Are you crazy? Raising soone else’s child?" Narcissus looked at him in shock.
"I’m not crazy; I understand you well. I know you’re not the kind of woman who would be with another man while thinking of . If you were with soone else, there must be an unavoidable reason."
"You’re foolish!" Narcissus felt like crying again. This guy really knew how to get into people’s hearts with his words, making her feel warmth, heartbreak, and guilt towards him.
She should never have agreed with Qian’er to play such a horrible joke on him; it felt so unfair to Dexi!
"I’m not foolish; my intelligence is about the sa as Yu Minglang’s," Zhu Dexi said while wiping her tears with earnestness.
"...You’re boasting!" Narcissus couldn’t help but laugh, which relaxed Dexi’s tense heart.
"I’m not boasting; I’m just slightly exaggerating the truth!"
The initially tense atmosphere eased up due to his words. Narcissus reflexively wanted to laugh, though it seed inappropriate since she was seriously discussing a breakup...
Zhu Dexi saw her conflicted expression and pulled her back into his arms tenderly.
"How can I not worry about you when you’re like this?"
"My dad also says I’m too naïve, always letting emotions show. He says I should strive to be more like Qian’er." Narcissus sotis felt frustrated at lacking the courage an entrepreneur should have, despite being born into such a family. She worked hard but always felt overshadowed by the impossibly accomplished Qian, her peer.
"She is she, and you are you. I admit she’s excellent, but to , you’re even better. Don’t compare yourself to her—speaking of Chen Xiaoqian, I’ll have to give Yu Minglang a hard ti for letting his wife play such a horrible prank on you and make you so sad. I can only vent my anger by giving him a good beating."
Zhu Dexi made a move to go, but Narcissus stopped him though she wasn’t strong enough. Seeing Zhu Dexi really about to confront Yu Minglang, Narcissus hugged him from behind.
"Don’t go over! Qian’er did it for my own good!"
"She’s spoiled, thinking she can make any kind of joke!" Zhu Dexi’s words were tough, but since Narcissus held onto him, he didn’t move forward.
"No, Qian’er isn’t soone who makes frivolous jokes. She used a professional thod to expose my inner fears, forcing to face the unknown within myself."
Narcissus was stunned after speaking, her mind catching up with her mouth’s admission—Qian’er was steering her toward this realization!
Using a unique thod to prompt Narcissus to recognize her own feelings, forcing her to see she couldn’t let go of this relationship. The approach was extre, but it was effective—if not for the deep emotional pain, how would she confront her own fragility?
If it weren’t for this special approach, how could she feel Zhu Dexi’s genuine character?
While Narcissus was introspective, Zhu Dexi turned to tenderly wipe away her newly flowing tears from her cheek.
"Look at you, crying again!"
"You mustn’t fight Yu Minglang!"
"Why won’t you let fight him? Worried I can’t beat him?"
"Of course not... I think you really can’t beat him." Narcissus’s honest and cute reply made Zhu Dexi chuckle.
"What are you laughing at! I’m not worried about you! I’m just, I’m just—concerned it’ll affect you! Yu Minglang’s your boss now, right? If you hit him, it’d be like attacking your boss, and you’d get fired!"
Narcissus randomly ca up with an excuse.
"I really don’t fear hitting him now because he’s the boss. You see, I’m no longer part of the Yu Family. By letting his wife bully my wife, I could hit him with a brick, and he wouldn’t be able to complain."
"What nonsense are you spouting? Why would you hit soone with a brick? Without his couple’s help, I’d have been sched out by Mai long ago—wait a minute, what did you just say?"
She seed to have heard sothing incredible!
Her lips trembled slightly, not daring to believe what she just heard—was it an auditory hallucination?
"I’m not a partner of the Yu Family anymore. I’m effectively unemployed now; would you take care of ?"
"You, you, how could you..." Narcissus was completely dizzy.
"I also wanted to see if I could adapt to a different environnt. Before I ca here, I t with my father-in-law, asking him to arrange a job for . He tested for a week and thought I was okay, so he gave a position as your assistant. From now on, you’re my boss. Boss, should we go teach that Yu Minglang a lesson?"
"Of course we shouldn’t, hitting others isn’t right—Wait, why did you resign so suddenly? Was it because I sent you that ssage?" Narcissus was already incoherent.
He cherished working with his brothers so much; how could he possibly give it up?
She rembered Dao Dao ntioning he had shares with Yu Minglang, essentially co-founding the business with them. It wasn’t rely a job but a man’s dream.
"What ssage did you send? I decided to leave half a year ago. I’ve been busy handing over work these past few months, couldn’t use mobile devices due to confidentiality, didn’t know my phone was out of credit. When I finally rembered to pay, my number nearly got revoked. What did you send ?"
"No, nothing." Narcissus dared not say she sent a breakup ssage.
So, he had already decided to leave half a year ago?
And the ssage that left her in tornt for a month, he never received?
Narcissus’s mind echoed Qian’s perceptive wisdom: "There is nothing in the world worth making a fuss over; people create their own worries."
So she stirred up a whole ss with her imagination, while he remained unaffected, resigned as planned, and handled her dad as intended?
Her emotions were indescribable, a mixed bag of joy, sweetness, and above all, concern for him.
