Sun Weiwei was still painting a perfect picture in her head. “If I had such ties, I would be able to marry well too. Now, I’m putting all my hopes on the person by my side. Without Mo Li around, there’s only that sickly Bai Ranran who probably has not much longer left to live. The position of Ye family’s Young Mistress is bound to be mine sooner or later.”

“That’s true indeed — Sister Weiwei, now’s a good opportunity. Young Master Ye is so nice to you, you definitely stand a chance.” The assistant had been with Sun Weiwei for such a long time, it was crystal clear to her what Sun Weiwei liked to hear.

“We shall see.”

An Xiaoning continued to pay close attention to the matter of Jin Qingyan getting someone to change Jin Qingyue’s fate. After three days, he said it was successfully settled at last.

Seeing that the troubled look on his face had finally dissipated, An Xiaoning sincerely hoped that Jin Qingyue’s fate could be changed completely. But it was just a hope after all, she did not believe it could be completely altered. There were many times where changing one’s fate could only change events that would happen within a short period of time. It was not long-lasting .

“Why do you keep looking at me like that?”

An Xiaoning came out of her trance and replied, “I suddenly think that you look really handsome — your distinct features, that pair of upward-curving eyes which are deeply set, your tall pointed nose, and especially that mouth of yours — all of these make you look so attractive. Your looks are really a combination of the best genes from your parents. Your sister has a pretty face too, but it’s far from yours. Her brain can’t be compared to yours too.”

Jin Qingyan picked up his handkerchief to wipe his mouth and said with a half-smiling face, “If you want to lie to me, you haven’t reached a good level yet. Weren’t you thinking just now that Qingyue’s matter might be a waste of effort?”

An Xiaoning reached out to peel the prawns. She lowered her head and said pensively, “No.”

“But I feel that you were thinking of that just now. Actually, I’ve let go of it already. Since I’ve done something to try to change it, I won’t have regrets. As for what will happen eventually, it’s just like what Mother says, let nature take its course.” His face was twinkling with a smile. “Are you keen on opening a franchise for your clothing store?”

“I don’t have such intentions,” An Xiaoning replied with her head still lowered as she ate her prawns. “Why don’t you open a shop to manage? If not, all your thoughts will be on this. That won’t be good, it’ll interfere with my other plans.”

“Other plans? What else do you want to do?”

“Other than continuing to swim everyday, I still want to learn something like boxing to defend myself.” An XiaoNing continued, “Being able to live to earn money but not living to spend it away is the saddest thing. What do you think, hubby?”

Actually, it was more than just that. She wanted to read the book old master Gu gave her everyday — that book was too important to her. Just reading it, replenishing stock for her clothing store, swimming, and learning boxing would fill up all her time.

“That’s a good idea. When are you going to learn self-defense?”

“I’m teaching Yangyang how to replenish the stock now. After I hand it over to her completely, I’ll be able to learn. This skill is also not one that can be learned in a few months. If I had a daughter, I’d make her practice from a young age. In this day and age, it’s dangerous to have a daughter — you need to take precautions as soon as they’re born.” An Xiaoning wiped her mouth, then got up to carry her dishes into the kitchen.
