Wei Tianci was stunned.
[Well played, Ning Xingruo. You quietly pulled my mom into your camp without anyone noticing.]
[Are you trying to make the plotline completely collapse and drag me down with you?]
Ning Xingruo comforted Fang Rong, “Aunt, don’t be anxious. Tianci is shy and not good at expressing his feelings. He actually likes me very much.”
She then blinked at Wei Tianci and changed the topic. “Tianci, what do you think I look good in?”
She even spun in place on purpose, showing off her proud figure in front of her beloved.
Wei Tianci snorted insincerely. “I don’t understand these things. Ask my mom.”
[With Xingruo’s flawless long legs, if she wore a black silk bodycon skirt, that would truly be top-tier.]
[But that’s only something I can imagine. She has always paid great attention to her image.]
[At the company, it’s always a suit. In her free time, it’s elegant long dresses. She never dresses out of line.]
[She’s the proud eldest daughter of the Ning family. She wouldn’t learn those so-called tricks to please men.]
He then sat down, saying he would rest while the two women continued shopping.
A glimmer flashed in Ning Xingruo’s eyes. She then left arm in arm with Fang Rong.
When she returned, she asked sweetly, “Darling, is this okay?”
Wei Tianci was dumbfounded. Was this a dream come true?
The mature and dignified Xingruo was now wearing high heels and black stockings.
On her body was a tight, waist-cinching blue bodycon dress. With her long hair flowing, her sensual charm was at full power.
Wei Tianci even felt his breathing grow heavy.
He stammered, “Why did you suddenly dress like this?”
Ning Xingruo bent down and whispered in his ear, her breath warm and fragrant. “Because this is a way to please you. Otherwise, what if you run off with An Muyue?”
[My goodness. A seductress. A true seductress. She’s practically the worm in my stomach.]
With a woman like this by his side, how could the plotline not fall apart?
…
After shopping, Wei Tianci drove back to his parents’ home, located in the most mysterious residential compound in Magic City.
His father, Wei Xiangdong, was sitting on the sofa watching the evening news.
On the screen, he himself was surrounded by officials while visiting grassroots units and delivering speeches.
This was one of Wei Xiangdong’s hobbies. He watched the news every day to see his own speeches and check if there were any inappropriate parts.
When he saw his wife returning with shopping bags, he shook his head.
In families like theirs, clothing was custom-made. He could not understand why his wife still enjoyed shopping. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
Fang Rong smiled brightly. “Today Xingruo treated me and invited me shopping.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Xingruo and Wei Tianci walked in one after another.
Seeing Wei Xiangdong, Ning Xingruo immediately stepped forward and took out a small box.
“Uncle Wei, Tianci and I bought you a fountain pen. We hope you like it.”
Wei Xiangdong looked surprised. “Xingruo, hello. How did you know I needed a good pen?”
Ning Xingruo smiled gently. “Aunt mentioned it while we were shopping. She said you work hard and often sit at your desk until midnight.”
“She said your pens are worn out and you haven’t had time to replace them.”
“Then Tianci suggested we buy you the best one.”
[Unbelievable. Ning Xingruo, you’re truly amazing.]
[One sentence pleased two people at once. No wonder you’re a queen-level woman.]
Sure enough.
Fang Rong’s face lit up with joy. So the young couple’s relationship was actually very good. They were even preparing surprises behind her back.
That was wonderful. Young people who consult each other like this would surely last long.
Even Wei Xiangdong’s usually stern face showed a rare gentle smile. His mischievous son actually knew how to prepare a surprise for him?
It seemed Xingruo truly knew how to guide people. Even Tianci had begun to turn over a new leaf.
Wei Xiangdong took the pen box and said with emotion, “I’m very happy. Thank you both.”
He then invited everyone to sit in the sofa area. Fang Rong prepared fruits, and they chatted casually. The atmosphere in the living room was extremely peaceful.
[Sigh. According to the plotline, after tonight begins the downfall of the Wei family.]
[First, the antihypertensive medicine formula gets stolen and the group’s performance plummets.]
[Then my mother urgently withdraws funds to inject into Tianxing Group, while her own group is attacked by international giants.]
[Finally, my father is framed with false charges and forced to step down.]
[The greatest blow to the family is my death, which nearly costs both elders half their lives.]
[When all the other families kick the Wei family while they’re down, Xingruo, not yet married and without any official status, shoulders everything.]
[She takes care of the grief-stricken elders and avenges me…]
[But this time, because of Xingruo’s intervention, the key incident has changed direction. I don’t know whether that’s a blessing or a curse.]
Wei Tianci suddenly felt restless. He felt like he had walked into a dead end.
But if he disrupted the process and caused the novel’s world to collapse, that would be equivalent to world destruction. Everyone would be finished.
Neither outcome was good.
How could he break the deadlock? Was there even a way to break it? That was something he had to think about.
Suddenly, Ning Xingruo reached out and tightly held Wei Tianci’s hand.
A determined light flashed in her eyes, and she made up her mind.
‘Tianci, I won’t let you fight alone. No matter the ending, I will always stand by your side, be your partner, and silently support you.’
‘I can’t just watch Ye Fan deal with you and remain indifferent. I truly can’t.’
‘If anyone wants you dead, they’ll have to step over my corpse first.’
Wei Tianci was lost in thought and did not even notice their intertwined hands.
Wei Xiangdong suddenly said, “It seems Xingruo and Tianci should get married sooner. The earlier, the better.”
The two women’s eyes lit up.
Wei Tianci was startled and blurted out, “Absolutely not!”
[If we get married, the plotline will collapse instantly. My deep love for An Muyue will be finished.]
[How can I just smash the jar and seek my own doom? Even if I break the deadlock, I need time.]
Wei Xiangdong snorted coldly. “Miss Ning has no objection. What right do you have to oppose?”
Fang Rong also looked at Wei Tianci with displeasure.
Wei Tianci was speechless. Am I your son or is she your daughter? Why are you pressuring me like this?
An idea suddenly came to him. “Dad, Mom, marriage requires choosing an auspicious date.”
“If we could just get married casually, then why go through the trouble of engagement and wedding traditions in the first place?”
Although they were a powerful family, they were still traditional people. They believed in such things.
Wei Tianci’s parents were no exception.
Even so, their expressions only softened slightly. They were still dissatisfied with their son’s attitude toward marriage.
More precisely, dissatisfied with his attitude toward Ning Xingruo.
Yet what was strange was that the girl herself still felt sorry for him.
Sure enough.
Not wanting Tianci to be in a difficult position, Ning Xingruo immediately changed the topic. “Uncle, Aunt, do you know why I suddenly felt like shopping and spending money today?”
“Because two happy events happened today!”
The couple froze for a moment, their interest instantly piqued.
