<h4>Chapter 1194: I Want to Make You Stay (72)</h4>
“I don’t know your mother personally, so I’m not sure how she’s like specifically. But she looks pretty nice to me.”
“Let me tell you this in secret. When my Mommy was pregnant with me, she had a very hard time. She told me that her weight reached 167 pounds and she was very, very fat. It was also then that my Daddy found another woman outside.”
Wen Lele was inplete shock to hear such words from her. “Your mommy told you these things?”
“A lot of people know about it.” Shi Bao’er lowered her head and looked at her own fingers. “My father also beat up Mommy often.”
“...”
“I know why my Daddy wants to marry you. Auntie, I really feel sorry for you.”
“Why?”
“My Daddy is marrying you to give me a little brother who can carry on the family line of our Shi family. If you give birth to a little sister, my Daddy will probably divorce you. Auntie, if you marry my Daddy, you must be sure to give birth to a little brother for me. I don’t want to see Daddy beat you up like how he did to Mommy. I can tell that Auntie is a kind person.”
“...”
Wen Lele was saddened to hear her say such words.
She reached out to stroke Shi Bao’er’s hair. “It’s okay, I’ll try my very best to give you a little brother. Thank you for telling Auntie these things. Auntie will treat you like a biological daughter when the timees.”
“Umm... Auntie, you’re so nice.” Shi Bao’er snuggled up in her arms, a scheming look shing in her eyes.

“He’s really interesting...” With the piece of red invitation in her hand, An Xiaoning rested her head on Jin Qingyan’sp and snorted coldly, “Is something wrong in his head? Qingyue just called me and told me that Shi Shaochuan invited her to attend his wedding. He’s even sent us invitations as well. What, is he trying to get onto the news with a headline ‘The ex-wives who came to attend his wedding’?”
Jin Qingyan raised his hand and drank a mouthful of coffee before saying in aposed and leisurely manner, “He’s inviting the two of us there. I really didn’t expect that these two would get together. This world is so small.”
“Well, He Yi didn’t want her so she had to find someone else to marry, right?” An Xiaoning asked, “Are we attending?”
“Why should we? To give them money? They’re not even fit to invite me. If we go there, it’ll be giving them face.” He ced the cup down and, after taking the invitations from her hand, threw them straight into the rubbish bin. “Qingyue wouldn’t go either.”
“Shi Shaochuan would never have asting marriage. He’s destined to have failed marriages that wouldn’tst for the rest of his life. Do you think we should warn of this Wen Lele, that dumb woman?”
“They’re both willing parties. If we warn her, do you think she’ll break off this marriage?” Jin Qingyan lowered his head and nted a kiss on her. “Just let them torture each other.”
“Yesterday, in the middle of the night, En called me. Do you know about that?”
“I somewhat heard it in my sleep. Was there an urgent matter?”
An Xiaoning simply exined Fang En’s situation to him and turned to wrap her arms around Jin Qingyan’s waist, saying in a sweet voice, “I think she hasn’t realized the difference between liking and loving someone. Liking someone can be, in many ways, different. For instance, I like Gu Beicheng as a family member. I like Fan Shixin as well, but as a subordinate. I like my other underlings too, as well as that funny guy Long Tianze, and Ling Ciye. But I’ve always known the clear difference between liking and loving someone. I will bepletely fine if I don’t see them for three months, but if I don’t see you for three hours, I’ll feel like I’mcking something and I’ll miss you especially much.”
“What is the extent to which you will miss me?”
“To the extent that I’ll go mad.”
His eyes were glowing with happiness as he held the side of her face. “I’m very satisfied with your answer.”
“What about you?”
“What?”
“What will you be like if you don’t see me for three hours?”
“Nothing much, I’ll bepletely fine, ” Jin Qingyan teased her. “Did you think I’ll act the same as a woman like you?”
“Woman?” An Xiaoning abruptly sat upright and had her hands clenched on his neck tightly. “I’ll strangle you to death right now.”
“Ah, ah, ah... a woman’s heart is the most vicious...”
Fan Shixin, who was at the door, had his hand on his forehead as he thought about whether he should enter or retreat. When the two were finally done with their silly bickering, An Xiaoning went upstairs, and he let out an intentional cough before entering.
“Young Sir, I’m really worried for you.”
“Worried about what?” Jin Qingyan straightened his body, perplexed.
“Your status in this house is getting lower and lower. Young Madam has sessfully gained control over youpletely. You don’t have much of a chance to regain your authority in the future...”
Jin Qingyan dismissed his words with a wave. “With a cute and young girl like your Young Madam having control over me, it’s my blessing. What about regaining my authority? I don’t need to.”
The corner of Fan Shixin’s lips twitched. He had already expected that his Young Sir would answer him like that. “You’ll really spoil Young Madam to the skies.”
“Do you have a problem with that?”
“No, as long as Young Sir is happy, everything’s fine.” The stiffened face that Fan Shixin kept instantly broke into a grin. “Seeing how Young Sir has someone who has control over you, you don’t know how gratified that makes me. Hahaha, Young Sir, I’m happy for you.”
“...”

In the early morning, the sky was pouring heavily in B City.
As she had slept toote the previous night, Fang En was awoken by Xiao Yue in the morning.
After opening the door for Xiao Yue, she had just turned around when Xiao Yue grabbed onto her arm.
“Sis En, quick, look.”
Xiao Yue passed her the newspaper in her hand with an anxious look on her face.
Fang En took it and saw at first nce the huge headline printed on the front page.
“Yan Ge’s mother expresses clear disapproval of the Yan-Fang romance[1]!”
Underneath the huge headlines, a line of words read: “ims Fang En to be too high maintenance, Yan family can’t afford to have her.”
Right underneath these words were the contents of the article in even smaller font, which took up more than half of the page.
As she took a look at the specific content inside the article, huge mes of anger rose in Fang En’s heart.
Yan Ge’s mother had revealed every single detail, including Yan Ge and Yu Caiwei’s secret romance in the past.
She went back to her bed and sat down, not even bothering to look at the inte. She was certain that her Weibo was probably buzzing with the news at this moment.
She had not expected Yan Ge’s mother to resort to using public opinion to make them break up...
“Sis En, what should we do?”
“What else can we possibly do?”
Fang En went to get her phone, but it had run out of battery.
She hurriedly went to charge it and went upstairs to wash up.
Xiao Yue followed her to the entrance of the bathroom and remarked, “Sis En, I’m sure Yan Ge will make a response to this. Don’t worry too much.”
“Whether he makes a response or not, I’ll definitely do so.”
“Sis En, I don’t think you should make a response at such a time... or else, those reporters will start to make false reports.”
“No...” Fang En looked at her seriously. “I need to.”
Xiao Yue looked at her and somehow felt that she looked exceptionally calm at present.
After Fang En had washed up and changed into a set of clothes, Xiao Yue had bought breakfast back. She had her breakfast and brushed her teeth after that before heading downstairs.
When she entered the makeup room, only the makeup artist was there. There was no sign of Yan Ge at all.
Fang En sat there and had her makeup done in thepletely silent room.
When the door of the makeup room was pushed open, she thought that he hade, but little did she expect to see Yu Caiwei standing there.
[1] “Yan-Fang” is the abbreviation of the surnames of Yan Ge and Fang En
