A Crazy Love Proposal-Chapter 237 - 237 125 Three Months

Chapter 237

Chapter 237: Chapter 125 Three Months Chapter 237: Chapter 125 Three Months After dinner, there was an event at the bank, and Wen Yangzhi took Yun Yuwan for a discreet inspection.
Wen Wei also wanted to take a look, but soon realized it was in an inconspicuous place.
Yun Yuwan stood quietly by Wen Yangzhi’s side, and as Wen Yangzhi rested his hand on her shoulder, she responded with a gentle, warm smile, no matter how he played with her.
Wen Yangzhi appeared calm, standing there aloof and indifferent, his only action being to hold Yun Yuwan’s shoulder.
However, his hand was never still, pinching Yun Yuwan’s baby fat expressionlessly, rubbing her waist while encircling it, and kneading the soft flesh on her arms.
For some reason, Wen Wei felt his son was acting like a scoundrel.
“…”
Thankfully, their position was out of the employees’ sight.
Wen Yangzhi’s hand never left Yun Yuwan, even resting it on her back as they went upstairs.
Seeing his deadpan demeanor, Wen Wei was now fully convinced that it was Wen Yangzhi who pursued Yun Yuwan.
Wen Yangzhi had to return to the bank to deal with some matters, and Yun Yuwan received a message from Zhu Nongzhang, asking if she wanted to go to a party.
Having nothing better to do, Yun Yuwan simply had the driver turn around.
Upon arriving at Zhu Nongzhang’s old foreign-style house on Holla Middle Road, which featured Mediterranean style, twin towers, and a spacious courtyard, she saw six or seven luxury cars already parked there.
It was clear that others had arrived earlier.
As soon as she appeared, Zhu Nongzhang immediately put down his glass of wine and went downstairs to greet her.
Seeing Zhu Nongzhang suddenly going downstairs, everyone gathered by the arched floor-to-ceiling windows to look down, and they saw Zhu Nongzhang welcoming Yun Yuwan.
“Why did they invite Yun Yuwan over?”
“It seems we really can’t speak ill of her anymore, Nongzhang is clearly showing his support.”
“Actually, if the engagement was set long ago, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
Not long after Yun Yuwan was brought upstairs, Jiang Yingyu parked his car downstairs.
Unaware of what had just happened, Yun Yuwan entered the foreign-style house and was friendly to everyone.
Zhu Nongzhang took her to the wine room to sit.
A girl’s gaze fell on Yun Yuwan’s neck, where she still wore the Black Pearl Necklace.
No sooner had Yun Yuwan sat down than the girl, with feigned casualness and a smile said, “I haven’t seen you since the last Zhu Family’s banquet.”
Although she didn’t remember who this person was, Yun Yuwan amiably replied, “It’s been a long time.”
The girl got straight to the point without much preamble, “Haven’t I seen you wearing that necklace before?”
The implication was clear: it was somewhat petty to wear such a common-quality Black Pearl Necklace more than once, as if she had never seen anything valuable before.
And she even showed it off on social media.
The girl swirled her wine glass, smilingly asking, “Do you really like it that much?”
Yun Yuwan, with her genuine sincerity outshining the snide remarks, beamed innocently, “Yes, this black pearl was personally dived for by my brother, and I love it very much.”
The other girl was about to continue her veiled insults, but her words choked in her throat.
Those present were stunned into silence.
Dove into the sea himself?
Was it Wen Yangzhi who dived for it?
Everyone knew how difficult it was to dive for black pearls, and this one was personally retrieved by Wen Yangzhi.
Everyone suddenly realized.
No wonder she cherished it so much. Even if it had been an ordinary boyfriend who personally dived for a Black Pearl Necklace for her, it would have been enough to express his true feelings and touch her.
The best places for black pearls are where sharks are found.
Moreover, her boyfriend was Wen Yangzhi.
If anyone else had been in her shoes, they would probably have been more ostentatious. Who would dare to think that someone with a hundred billion in wealth would take such a risk to dive for a pearl to make jewelry for them?
Just because the Black Pearl signifies sweet happiness?
Zhu Nongzhang, observing the reactions of everyone there, felt a momentary satisfaction, slightly raising his eyebrows with a smile.
Those who looked down on Yun Yuwan did so out of jealousy, thinking Yun Yuwan’s family status was too low, or even that she had no status at all, completely unworthy of Wen Yangzhi.
They all wondered why she deserved it.
She had thought the same before, why should Yun Yuwan be Aunt Qin’s daughter?
But as long as she knew that the position was rightfully hers to begin with, that sense of imbalance would shatter.
Many people present actually wanted to climb the social ladder by affiliating with Wen Yangzhi, men and women alike, but Wen Yangzhi didn’t befriend people easily, let alone girlfriends. Suddenly, someone with no foundation barged in and took away what they had always wanted, inevitably leading to feelings of imbalance.
Zhu Nongzhang had the bartender make a sweet and strong Singapore Sling for Yun Yuwan, as she sat among the crowd.
After just a sip, someone pinched her baby fat from behind, and a clear male voice rang out, “Do kids drink too?”
It was ticklish. Yun Yuwan reached up to rub her face and turned to look.
It was Jiang Yingyu.
He was rarely in a suit, but now wore a relaxed 70s-style version, not with a shirt underneath but a thin turtleneck sweater. The suit wasn’t black but brown, unbuttoned completely, revealing a physique that was lean and slightly muscular under the cling of the sweater.
He looked every bit the playboy who had returned from overseas.
Enigmatic yet leaving room for desire, the kind of man every woman wanted to have a fling with.
Especially when he smiled, those deep dimples giving off a romantic vibe.
He hadn’t expected to see her here.
Yuwan complained while rubbing her cheek, “Don’t pinch me, or my face will get bigger.”
Jiang Yingyu smiled good-naturedly, “Even if your facial features were on a pancake, you’d still be a great beauty.”
She felt a surge of pride in the moment, rubbing her cheek in secret satisfaction.
Indeed.
To appear casual, Jiang Yingyu also patted the cheek of a male friend he was familiar with.
The man immediately covered his face, “Why are you so handsy?”
After work, Wen Yangzhi returned home, only to discover that Yun Yuwan wasn’t there.
He entered the study in the bedroom, sat at the desk, and quietly looked at those three glass beads.
The typical duration of a relationship involving someone with NPD is about three months.
Moreover, the likelihood of infidelity in someone with NPD is extremely high, almost a certainty, because they lack a sense of boundaries and can be ambiguous with friends of the opposite sex, even comparing their partner with other friends.
He had already witnessed this when he mentioned that Jiang Yingyu had given her a phone case, and she responded quite naturally with why didn’t you give me one.
If there ever was a moment when another person of the opposite sex did something better than he did, even if he had always been good and done a lot, it could cause her to compare.
Being the partner of someone with NPD can be more painful than choosing other partners.
In fact, he wanted to take a gamble, but feared he couldn’t afford the stakes.
On the other hand, Yun Yuwan was thriving at the party, as people put aside their initial biases to talk with her and had to admit that she indeed was amiable and easy to get along with.
Towards the end, Jiang Yingyu spoke up, “I’ll take you home. It’s on the way, as I need to head to North Bund as well.”
Yuwan cheerfully opened the back door of the car, “No need, I have a driver.”
Zhu Nongzhang clung to the car window to look at her, “Send me a message when you get home.”
Then she added with a hint of flirtation, “If you and Wen Yangzhi are too busy, then don’t bother.”
Unnoticed, the smile on Jiang Yingyu’s face behind her faded slightly.
Yuwan waved from inside the car, “Bye-bye~”
As the car left the courtyard, Jiang Yingyu still stood there watching.
Zhu Nongzhang said half-jokingly, half-seriously, “Let’s go, what are you looking at? She’s not yours anyway.”
The car drove all the way back to Wen Garden.
Wen Yangzhi got up and passed by the cloakroom, only to notice an additional rose bracelet in her jewelry drawer.
Yuwan didn’t like wearing bracelets. She had once been elated to wear a bracelet he sent her under Zhao Qin’s name for a day, but never wore it again.
When he casually asked about it, she said that wearing bracelets felt restrictive, so she put it away.
That’s why when he recovered the Black Pearl, he didn’t consider making it into a bracelet.
Yuwan hurried upstairs, flung open the door, and started looking for Wen Yangzhi everywhere, only to find him in the cloakroom. She ran up from behind and hugged him.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
Wen Yangzhi replied indifferently, “Noticing you have a new bracelet.”
