Chapter 1695: Chapter 1696
"What do you mean? My aunt watched me grow up, she always wanted me to be her goddaughter. Now I’m going to be her daughter-in-law, she’s thrilled beyond measure." Du Yanan puffed up her chest dominantly, "As for that little brat, huh, all it takes is for me to flirt with that guy a bit, and he’s mine. I have an E cup, does she? When the rice is cooked, let’s see who can outdo whom?"
Wei Yingyue knew Du Yanan’s personality well, she’d never lost since she was a kid, always aiming for first in everything. She didn’t expect her to be this competitive in this matter too; and what she said afterwards embarrassed Wei Yingyue a bit.
"Aren’t you exaggerating a bit? What if he’s not good to you?"
"He dares!?" Du Yanan’s apricot eyes widened, and a flash of murderous intent appeared. "With my mother’s experience of managing my dad and my aunt’s success in ruling his father, handling that guy is a breeze."
At this point, sitting in the back seat, Liang Xinyue clapped eagerly and signed towards Du Yanan: "Elder Sister Nan, you’re awesome!"
"Hehe, Xiao Xiao thinks so too, huh? I’m telling you, in this world, good men are like pandas, almost extinct, only a few come out every eighteen years. If you don’t seize this moment, you’ll end up as a confirmed single woman! Win now, and you’ll enjoy a lifetime of happiness, but lose, and you might endure a lifetime of pain." Du Yanan looked at Wei Yingyue, asking, "Which one do you choose?"
Actually, for women like Wei Yingyue and Du Yanan, who are excellently discerning, finding a good partner is indeed difficult.
After all, the more outstanding a person is, they definitely won’t find someone inferior to themselves, and they themselves are rare as phoenix feathers, thus finding someone to entrust their lives is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Elite men and elite women have entirely different standards for choosing a partner!
Just like in Korean dramas, aimed at ordinary women, or even homebodies and "leftover" women; the effective trope is usually the handsome rich young prince-type characters.
Elite men seek partners based first on character, not appearance - this is a fact!
There’s even a saying in the industry now: Back then, when acting, goddesses could portray chickens with vividness and excellence; now, chickens dress up as goddesses, pretending to be love-struck and coy.
An old saying goes, men fear entering the wrong profession, women fear marrying the wrong man. Now, this must be rewritten, because many men focus only on appearance, only to realize later that their youth and passion were spent on filling some people’s brand-name bags, ending up disposed of at a second-hand store.
For all "successful men", choosing a wife is first about character, they may not require their spouses to significantly help in their careers, but hope that every time they go home tired, they can hear their wives’ sweet voices and enjoy the warmth and aroma of home-cooked meals.
As for why "successful men" are in quotes, it’s because some who use their wife’s family power to climb up and adopt various underhanded tactics are not included in this group.
And for female elites like Wei Yingyue, Du Yanan, Li Qiyi, and Cen Nong, given their current status and family backgrounds, finding someone who truly loves them is very hard.
It’s like finding a needle in a haystack, but damn it, there still has to be a needle!
That’s going too far off topic.
In fact, Du Yanan’s decision is right, the most wonderful years for girls are now, if they don’t seize it now, a few years later, it’ll be too late!
Wei Yingyue’s deep eyes twinkled intelligently, she asked Du Yanan, "Yanan, you mentioned that the information about Li Tian was extracted from someone, who was that person?"
Du Yanan smiled, a look of "promising child" showing on her beautiful face.
When sending Yan Zisu back, you took the opportunity to pop back home.
Upon arriving at your door, you noticed the front door was half-open; after pushing it open, you saw a graceful woman in an expensive outfit, one foot off the ground, leaning against the wall, upper body bent forward, taking off her high heels. What you witnessed was an exquisite scene.
The black skirt barely covered a third of her thighs, normally you wouldn’t see much, but now her body curved perfectly with the wall, creating a flawless arc, revealing the scenery within the short skirt slightly. You took a quick glance, immediately turned your head, and naturally thought of the word "purple".
The woman in front seemed to notice you behind her, turned her head, and immediately said charmingly: "Mu Yun, when did you get back, why no sound?"
You touched your nose, chuckled and said, "Just got here, opened the door, and saw something I shouldn’t have."
"You little rascal, daring to take advantage of your sister?" Elder sister Li Qiyi said, trying to hit you jokingly, but due to the angle, as she stepped forward, her left foot twisted, and she let out a "hiss!" as she began to fall towards you.
You rushed forward to catch Li Qiyi, asking, "Sis, are you okay?"
"I’m fine, ah, it hurts." Li Qiyi groaned painfully.
"Looks like you twisted your ankle, sis, you’re such a grown person, how can you still be so careless." You shook your head, helped Li Qiyi into the room, squatted by her side, and gently kneaded the sprained area.
Hearing your words, Li Qiyi rolled her eyes, softly punched your head: "Thanks to you, oh, be gentle."
"Okay, okay, my dear big sister!"
You laughed, shaking your head, holding Li Qiyi’s foot, rhythmically kneading the slightly swollen ankle.
Sitting in a chair, Li Qiyi slowly closed her eyes, the pain soon vanished, replaced by a tingling sensation, very comfortable, she could even distinctly feel a warm current coming from her ankle.
"Mu Yun, your skills are better than those professional therapists, when did you learn this?"
"This doesn’t need learning, my dearest elder sister twists her ankle, as her brother, of course, I’ve got to use the most caring, gentle way to heal her pain." You grinned, seeing no response from Li Qiyi, you slowly raised your head, and at this moment, you saw a scene you could never forget.
