2 am. So people are still letting of firecrackers outside.
The phone call with Qu Yunxuan was almost an hour. After hanging up, Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan walked out to the living room and sat on the sofa. He poured a cup of hot tea and gave it to her. To Dong Xuebing, Qu Yunxuan is always very caring towards him. She is willing to do anything for him, and this is her character. Dong Xuebing is the world to her, and would rather suffer silently than letting him worried.
But Dong Xuebing is surprised to discover Xie Huilan is also the sa.
Aunt Xuan had grown up in an ordinary family, but Xie Huilan is different. Other than Xie Huilan’s family background, she is the Mayor of a County. It’s hard for her to decide as she must face the stress from her family and workplace. What will happen after five years? This is no longer about her relationship problems. It will affect her reputation, etc.
“Sister Xie.”
“... Huh?”
Dong Xuebing looks at Xie Huilan in her eyes lovingly.
Xie Huilan took the tea from Dong Xuebing and smiles. “Don’t look at like this. If you try to scare again... Hehe...”
“Huh? When did I scare you?”
“The way you look at earlier is scary. Haha.”
“I am very serious, and stop interrupting .” Dong Xuebing puts on a straight face. “Sister Xie, no words can descript how grateful I am... I...”
“Are you reciting a poem?” Xie Huilan smiles. “Also, do you think I am willing to get married and then divorce?”
“Ah?” Dong Xuebing was stunned. “But the five-year agreent you ntioned earlier... each person will get five years. You... did you change your mind?” Damn! I was happy for nothing. How can you change your mind so fast?
Xie Huilan placed her cup on the coffee table. “How can the man I love not to stay by my side forever? I agree with the five-year agreent, but do you think you will want to divorce after living with for five years? You will be the one who will be making the decision. If you don’t want to get married to Yunxuan, then this agreent will be void.”
Dong Xuebing was shocked. “That ans you had tricked Aunt Xuan?”
“No. I am not tricking her, and Yunxuan must be thinking the sa thing too. Do you think your Aunt Xuan is willing to share her man with another woman?” Xie Huilan replied calmly. “I know what Yunxuan is thinking. She must be thinking of ways to tie you down after getting a divorce and making your stay with her after five years. This way, she can spend the rest of her life with her. What she needs to do now is to wait for five years.”
Dong Xuebing was covered in a cold sweat. He knew this agreent will not be so simple.
Xie Huilan continued. “Everyone has their own thoughts. You, Yunxuan, and I are the sa. I always felt that one can be half-hearted physically but not emotionally. This five-year agreent is only to settle our problem. Rember this. We are not giving in, or at least I am not giving in. If we get married, I promise to spend the five years serving you nicely and make you be faithful and forget about Aunt Xuan. No woman will tolerate her husband has another woman, right?”
Dong Xuebing knocked his forehead. When Aunt Xuan and Sister Xie told him about the five-year agreent earlier, he was touched and excited. He thought both won are willing to share him. But this is not the case! I should have known better! It might be possible for Aunt Xuan, but Sister Xie’s character will never agree to it.
Xie Huilan laughed. “Of course, if you are determined and really love both of us, you can go and look for your Aunt Xuan after five years. I will not say anything. Haha... We decided to tell you about our decision is because we want you to be prepared and let you know that the world does not revolve around you. A relationship is selfish, and if you think we are willing to sleep on the sa bed with you simultaneously, you are wrong. Hmmm... are you thinking of this?”
“No! Absolutely, no!” Dong Xuebing replied.
Dong Xuebing was embarrassed as he was still thinking about this earlier.
“Good to know this. This is a reminder for you.” Xie Huilan replied. “Don’t be too optimistic, and this is the sa in governnt service.”
Dong Xuebing finally understood. Aunt Xuan and Sister Xie had agreed to the five-year agreent are not because they accepted each other. He organized his thoughts for a while and said. “Sister Xie. I don’t care what you and Aunt Xuan are thinking. Those are your problems. I am grateful for you and Aunt Xuan to agree to marry . Although you are saying this is not giving in and you have plans, the truth is you are making a big sacrifice for . This sacrifice is too big for to repay you in this lifeti.”
Xie Huilan looks at Dong Xuebing. “... Glad that you are aware of it.”
Dong Xuebing still has so words which he did not say. He is the biggest winner in this agreent, and both Xie Huilan and Qu Yunxuan had made sacrifices for him. He will not let anyone of them down. This agreent will not be void. No matter how well Xie Huilan treated him during their marriage, he will still get married to Aunt Xuan five years later. Dong Xuebing is also hoping that their relationships can be improved. Who knows if Sister Xuan and Aunt Xuan will share the sa bed with him in the future? This might be too much, but which man doesn’t want to have a harem?
Sister Xie wants to use these five years to tie Dong Xuebing down...
Aunt Xuan wants to tie Dong Xuebing down for the rest of his life after five years...
Dong Xuebing wants to settle both of them during this period...
Damn! This is getting more complicated!
Dong Xuebing is still overjoyed and grateful. This five-year agreent will ease so of the tension and allow him to sort things out.
“Oh, I need to tell you sothing.” The Gala night had ended, and Xie Huilan switched off the TV.
Dong Xuebing looks at Xie Huilan. “What is it?”
Xie Huilan laughed and place the remote control aside. “I need to remind you not to be happy now. What we discussed earlier are only assumptions. It’s not that easy for us to get married. My mum had told you the pros and cons earlier, right? You must focus on your work and get promoted to Deputy Director first before we can get married. That will be the ti when the five-year agreent takes effect. If you did not perform well at the Investnt Promotion Agency and takes more than ten years to be promoted, my hair will be white. Your Aunt Xuan can’t afford to wait for you so long. Even if she is willing to wait, her looks will be gone. We are not like you. Yunxuan and I are no longer young.”
Dong Xuebing thought to himself. Damn! I was still overjoyed and thinking of getting both won with this five-year agreent. Now, the issue is when I can get married to Xie Huilan. After we get married, the five-year agreent will take effect, and I can marry Aunt Xuan five years later.
Dong Xuebing felt the pressure.
Deputy Director is still a long way from Dong Xuebing. He had only been promoted to Section Chief and doesn’t know when he will get promoted again. Xie Huilan had made it sound easy, but it is not as Sister Xie’s family will not want to let her wait too long.
If Dong Xuebing takes seven to eight years to get promoted to Deputy Director, Sister Xie will be almost 40 years old. The Xie family will not let Xie Huilan wait for him. This is impossible! Who knows if the Xie family will arrange another marriage for her again?
Dong Xuebing suddenly felt this might be a test by Xie Family.
Section Chief and Deputy Director have a wide gap. This is much harder than getting promoted from Deputy Section Chief to Section Chief. Furthermore, Dong Xuebing is only 24 years old. It is no longer the issue of knowing so leaders. Suppose Dong Xuebing can climb up to Deputy Director within two to three years. In that case, Xie Huilan and her family will agree to this marriage. But suppose he takes longer than five years. In that case, the Xie family will think he is not suitable to be a governnt official. They might object to this marriage.
There is a high possibility this might happen!
The more Dong Xuebing thinks about this, the more he felt this is a test of his abilities. Madam Han said that the marriage must wait until after he got promoted to Deputy Director for various reasons. But it is more likely a test for him!
No! I must get promoted to Deputy Director before everything changes!
Dong Xuebing is not only doing this for the Xie family’s test. He is also afraid Xie Huilan and Qu Yunxuan might leave him for soone else!
Dong Xuebing had never felt so motivated in his life!
Everything is for his marriage!
