Chapter 100

Yixue looked at Su Wen as he hung up the phone, her eyes showing displeasure: "You want me to pretend to be your girlfriend?"

"Do we even need to pretend? Aren't you already?"

"I don't like jokes, and I'm very busy, no time!"

Su Wen was embarrassed; Yixue was not just unapproachable, but he had his trump card. Thinking of this, he took out a Water Spirit Grass: "Yixue, if you help me, this Water Spirit Grass is yours."

Yixue looked at Su Wen, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Water Spirit Grass?"

"Exactly, it can purify and strengthen your body, making you even more powerful. It's definitely a treasure."

"Even if I don't help, you'll still give me the Water Spirit Grass, right?"

Su Wen was silent, and she was right.

He didn't put the Water Spirit Grass on the second floor of the Treasure Hall, planning to give it to Yixue. Now that Yixue had seen through his plan, he felt a bit awkward. Smart women were hard to fool, even harder to bluff.

"Tell me, who is the person?"

"You're willing to help?"

Yixue nodded: "The Autumn Water Sword you gave me is very nice, I like it."

Su Wen was taken aback; it turned out Yixue had remembered all along. She wasn't as cold as she seemed.

"Just this once!"

"OK!"

Su Wen then recounted his grievances with Yang Feixue, finally breaking into a tirade: "Last time, it was because of her that we were surrounded by so many soldiers. Tell me, isn't this woman hateful? I really regret meeting her in the capital."

Yixue muttered: "So it's her, truly a narrow escape from an old enemy."

Su Wen was puzzled; did Yixue know Yang Feixue?

...

Tisi Restaurant.

"There she is!"

"I see her, let's go over, put your arm around my waist."

Su Wen, hearing this, dared not disobey. The two of them looked very much in love.

"Yang Feixue, we're here."

"Who is she?"

"My current girlfriend, my future wife, Yixue!"

Yixue looked at Yang Feixue, sat down, and said: "Yang Feixue, right? Don't keep纠缠着 (harassing) Su Wen anymore. He has already told me everything between you two, and I don't plan to pursue it. Whether you were just playing with him or really fell in love with him, it's over!"

Su Wen was speechless; it sounded like she was talking to a mistress.

"Are you really Su Wen's girlfriend?"

"Yes, you can check. We are already very close."

Su Wen, hearing this, quickly said: "That's right, we've been very close for a while. Next year, our child might even call you aunt."

"Shut up!" Yang Feixue shouted.

"Su Wen, this woman is so temperamental. You must have suffered a lot being with her." Yixue pulled Su Wen down to sit, then smoothly poured him a glass of red wine, as if it were a routine.

Yang Feixue was so angry she couldn't speak. Facing Yixue, she was powerless.

Yixue was like a queen above all, and everyone had to kneel at her feet. Yang Feixue, a noble princess, was already a step below her.

"Yixue, why does that name sound so familiar?"

"You remember."

"Have we met before?"

"We haven't met, but we have some impression of each other's names."

"The April 28th Gold Incident, are you that Yixue?"

Yixue gave a cold smile: "Yes, I am that Yixue, your biggest rival at the time."

"What are you talking about?" Su Wen was confused.

"A stock market battle, each of us representing several fund groups, investing over a hundred billion, fighting fiercely, almost causing economic turmoil in China. That event was called the April 28th Gold Incident."

"Uh?"

"Surprised, aren't you?"

"Who won in the end?"

Yang Feixue smiled: "Of course I won, she lost."

Su Wen was incredulous; how could Yixue, who was so capable, lose?

"Really?"

"Yes, I lost."

"How could you lose to her?"

"Because her funds were too strong. Even a stock god would have been helpless at that time."

Su Wen, hearing this, understood. Yang Feixue had the Prosperous Auction House behind her, and it was no problem for her to put up over a hundred billion. In China, money could crush everything, no wonder Yixue lost.

Yang Feixue pouted but didn't argue.

She won that time because of her money. If the funds were equal, she felt she would definitely lose to Yixue. After that, Yang Feixue realized there was always someone better, even in the financial world. She was called the pride of the financial world, but she was still a step behind Yixue.

"Let's put the past behind us. Yang Feixue, I'm here to make things clear. I won't pretend to be your boyfriend anymore. I have a family now, so don't say we are a couple in public. It can easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings." Su Wen returned to the main topic.

"Do you really dislike me so much?"

Su Wen didn't know how to answer.

He didn't dislike Yang Feixue; it was just that she was too problematic. This time, he just wanted to get back at her a bit, nothing more.

"How am I worse than Yixue?"

"You're great in every way, but you're just not suitable for me."

"You decide I'm not suitable without even asking me?"

"It's my business, why should I ask you? Shouldn't you be taking your medicine?"

Yang Feixue was angry: "Yixue, I can tell you and Su Wen aren't really a couple. You're just here to help him, right?"

Yixue's face was calm: "He really likes me, and he's pursuing me."

This answer, calm and collected, was more powerful than any argument. Yixue was clearly telling Yang Feixue that no matter what, Su Wen liked her, not Yang Feixue.

"He likes you?"

"Yes, at least that's what he says."

Su Wen was embarrassed: "That's right, I'm determined to marry Yixue."

Yang Feixue was silent. She and Su Wen were just pretending, so why did she care so much now? Was it her competitive nature? Logically, she should smile at Yixue and tell her that she and Su Wen were just pretending, just playing around, and then they would all be happy and do business, each going their own way. But now, she couldn't say it. It seemed some thought was troubling her.

"Yang Feixue, are you really starting to like me?"

"Dream on!"

Su Wen was speechless and said: "Yang Feixue, let's end this. I won't pretend to be your boyfriend anymore."

Yang Feixue nodded.

"That's right, let's all get along and make big money."

"Su Wen, I have one question. If I asked you to be my real boyfriend, would you?"

Su Wen looked at her, puzzled: "What did you say? I didn't hear you. Could you repeat it?"

"Su Wen, if I asked you to be my real boyfriend, would you?"

"You must be joking, I only like Yixue."

Yixue smiled: "In front of me, how could Su Wen dare to agree?"

Yang Feixue looked at Yixue: "Do you like Su Wen?"

Yixue thought for a moment: "At least I don't dislike him. If I really need to find someone to marry, I would consider him first."

"You..."

"So if you want to be with Su Wen, I'm still the biggest obstacle!"

"Yixue, what if I insist on being with Su Wen?"

"Then you can only be a concubine!"

A concubine?

Yang Feixue was speechless, and Su Wen was completely stunned.
