i Xiang raised her hand to interrupt ng Wanning, "I’m sorry, Miss ng, do you like Brother Cheng?"
ng Wanning answered without hesitation: "That is love."
"I see. Then, Miss ng, what do you want to do?"
ng Wanning looked at i Xiang, feeling a whirlwind of emotions.
She had initially wanted i Xiang to back off, but seeing her honest deanor, she suddenly couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Moreover, matters of the heart cannot be forced, can they?
She was silent for a mont, then said, "I don’t know. I just... don’t want to lose him."
i Xiang looked at ng Wanning, feeling a wave of sympathy.
She understood ng Wanning’s feelings and her pain.
"Miss ng, I understand how you feel. But in matters of love, one cannot force things. I will not give up my feelings for Mr. Chen Cheng."
Hearing those solemn yet sowhat awkward Chinese words, ng Wanning pursed her lips.
"If you are to accept this relationship, you’ll have to accept all the won around him." ng Wanning spoke, "Not just ."
"I know. There’s also Miss Xiao." i Xiang replied.
ng Wanning shook her head, "Not just Sister, but also Miss Wen."
"Miss... Wen?" i Xiang blinked, turning her head to look at Chen Cheng, "Is it Aunt Wen?"
"Aunt?" ng Wanning also looked at Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng coughed twice, "It’s a matter of seniority, actually it’s ’sister’, not much different."
i Xiang’s eyes widened, she had thought that Wen Shulin was so unreservedly helping Chen Cheng because of his prestige, she never expected this layer of relationship.
She turned her head to look at ng Wanning, "Then Miss ng, have you accepted the presence of Miss Xiao and Miss Wen?"
ng Wanning gazed at Chen Cheng, "I’m already his woman, what does acceptance or non-acceptance matter now?"
i Xiang frowned slightly, "I too was aware of Miss Xia and Miss Tong’s existence when I got together with Brother Cheng."
"Who?" ng Wanning turned to look at Chen Cheng, "Xia... Tong..."
"It’s Xia Yubing and Tong Jialu." Chen Cheng spoke casually, but did not expect that upon their eting, they would reveal so many mutual secrets.
"Director Xia and Manager Tong... I see..." ng Wanning’s mind flashed through these two beautiful sisters, who didn’t appear often but always erged dazzling and fiery.
"Cough cough..."
Chen Cheng coughed again, "You two are different from them, let’s not talk about this anymore."
To his surprise, ng Wanning and i Xiang exchanged glances.
This glance contained no hostility, but a unified front.
The two delicate girls stood before Chen Cheng, "Besides them, are there any more?"
Chen Cheng leaned back slightly.
"Sir, I never asked you how many won you have."
ng Wanning was unusually firm this ti, her eyebrows did not show annoyance but rather a bit of inquiry.
"I never asked either." i Xiang also chid in, counting on her fingers, "Miss Xiao, Aunt Wen, Director Xia, Manager Tong, are there more..."
Chen Cheng looked at the two girls in front of him, one lively and charming, the other gentle and quiet, now unexpectedly standing on the sa side, catching him off guard.
He cleared his throat, trying to bluff his way out: "Well, the weather is quite nice today..."
"Sir, it’s overcast today!"
i Xiang nodded in agreent, "Yes, Brother Cheng, it’s cloudy, about to rain."
Chen Cheng sighed helplessly, knowing he couldn’t dodge this situation today.
He spread his hands, patting his legs, "Sit down, let’s talk this out slowly."
Neither moved.
Chen Cheng smirked: "If we don’t sit down, we really can’t talk this out."
ng Wanning and i Xiang exchanged glances, then finally sat on Chen Cheng’s legs, one on each side.
"Are there any others?" Wanning and i Xiang asked in unison.
"Uh... let think..." Chen Cheng took the opportunity to hold each of their hands.
"Apart from those you just ntioned, there’s another pair."
"A pair?"
Chen Cheng nodded, admitting, "Last na Liu. I t the younger sister first, then saved her elder sister, so then... Hmm?"
ng Wanning incredulously looked at her beloved man, while i Xiang just bent two more fingers, "Any more?"
"Then there’s..."
"Yu Xinwei."
Hearing this household na of a big star, both were even more incredulous.
"I helped her solve her debt problems and sorted out so troubles." Chen Cheng spoke casually.
"Are there more?" ng Wanning cautiously asked, her head also bowed, looking at the hand holding hers.
Chen Cheng carefully thought, "There should... be no more."
"Should?" i Xiang caught the uncertainty in Chen Cheng’s words.
"I just... couldn’t think of it for the mont."
ng Wanning and i Xiang exchanged glances, both seeing the sa confusion in each other’s eyes.
They felt that Chen Cheng was still hiding sothing, but it was not appropriate to question further.
Chen Cheng pursed his lips, the only thing he hadn’t spoken of was Su Liya.
"Alright, that’s... one, two," i Xiang counted on her fingers, "nine... nine!"
She blinked, "So how should we get along in the future?"
This was a very practical question, and also a very tricky one.
Chen Cheng looked at her, "You don’t need to get along, just like I promised Wan Wan, you are you."
"I am ?" i Xiang pointed to her nose and asked.
ng Wanning took over the conversation, recalling Chen Cheng’s promise, "He said he would give a ho, a ho that belongs only to ."
"Ho..."
Chen Cheng looked back at i Xiang, his left hand tightened a bit, "If you want to move out, I can arrange it for you."
ng Wanning sensed sothing, "Grandpa, are you saying Miss i Xiang lives in the Siheyuan in Houhai?"
"This ti Miss Xiao invited ." i Xiang truthfully said, "To thank for the gift I gave last ti."
ng Wanning breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Cheng, then I’ll move out too." i Xiang also gave her answer, "Although living there is luxurious and close to you."
She looked towards ng Wanning, "But I also want a ho of my own."
Chen Cheng nodded in agreent, "Okay, no problem."
ng Wanning bit her lower lip and stamred out a phrase.
"Wan Wan, what did you say?"
"I said, until we find a suitable place, i Xiang can stay with first."
i Xiang looked at ng Wanning in surprise, she had thought Wan Wan would be hostile towards her but didn’t expect her to invite her so generously to live together.
"Really? Will it disturb you?"
ng Wanning t that innocent gaze, "Grandpa likes you, and I can’t help it."
She sighed softly, "Rather than having you live outside, it’s better to live at my place."
ng Wanning paused, her tone carrying a hint of relief, "At least... I can watch him, and also watch you."
i Xiang was silent for a while, touched by ng Wanning’s honesty and straightforwardness.
She understood, ng Wanning was protecting the relationship between her and Chen Cheng in her own way.
"I... I won’t make it difficult for you, Miss ng."
Chen Cheng looked at the two, "Alright, i Xiang is not going over there."
He held ng Wanning’s hand tightly, "I know what you’re thinking, but I’ve said I will take care of you, and I will."
ng Wanning felt the strength from the back of her hand, and silent tears flowed down.
"Why are you crying?"
Chen Cheng was about to reach out to wipe her tears, but ng Wanning suddenly hugged him, "Grandpa, you won’t abandon , right?"
"What are you talking about? How could I not want Wan Wan?" Chen Cheng patted her back, "You are unique."
i Xiang saw that ng Wanning was completely nestled in Chen Cheng’s arms, and tactfully got up from his lap.
Chen Cheng felt the weight on his lap disappear and looked at i Xiang.
i Xiang also lowered her head in distress, twisting her clothes.
Chen Cheng knew i Xiang was gentle and kind-hearted, and her feelings for him were sincere and pure.
"Wan Wan."
"Uh?"
"i Xiang is still here."
ng Wanning then ca back to her senses, released Chen Cheng, stood up quickly and turned her head towards i Xiang, "I..."
i Xiang squeezed out a smile, "It’s okay, that you like Brother Cheng is good."
Chen Cheng also stood up, walked between the two, and draped an arm over each of their shoulders, pulling them close to himself.
"This shoulder, though there are only two, it’s just perfect for the both of you."
Chen Cheng felt the different touches on either side, "In the future, whenever you two want to lean, you can always."
ng Wanning wrapped her arms around Chen Cheng’s waist, "Grandpa... I..."
i Xiang couldn’t help either, she tiptoed and hugged Chen Cheng’s neck, "Brother Cheng, I..."
The two of them hugging him, one above the other, made Chen Cheng experience the gentle beauty trap for the first ti.
"Alright, alright, you two want to hang onto ?"
Chen Cheng half-jokingly said, "Looks like I really need to go work out."
The two young girls then released their hands again, standing shyly in front of Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng bent down, pinching a cheek with each hand, "Be good, I will treat you well."
