She is with you for power
It was love at first sight, and it became a single-sided affection that lasted for more than twenty years. Nie Mianmian was practically obsessed with Xi Ting.
Even though he never reciprocated in the same manner. She remained hopeful. She was hoping that one day, he would change his mind and be touched by her dedication.
He would also realize that she was the woman most suitable for him. They were born to be together.
She was going to be his bride, and she didn't care how long she would have to wait. That wishful thinking of hers sustained her to remain by his side all this while.
She didn't mind the suffering along the way to get to her happy ever after. But now, the hope that she clung onto all this while was dashed.
He suddenly got committed, and she wasn't the girlfriend. It was a college student who didn't have any background. She only knew him for less than a year.
How could Nie Mianmian take it? She hated it.
"Tong Chunian," Xi Ting dialed the company hotline and called for Tong Chunian coldly. Every word that he spoke was engraved into Nie Mianmian's mind, "Come over and escort Miss Nie out."
He then hung up the phone and looked coldly towards Nie Mianmian, who was crying hysterically. He continued, "Tong Chunian will escort you out. From now onwards, don't look for me unless you have important matters. I'm really busy recently and don't have the time to entertain you."
"No time to entertain me?" Nie Mianmian chuckled sarcastically. She glared at Qin Yan and continued, "But if Qin Yan wants to see you, you will have time to entertain her, right?"
Xi Ting snapped impatiently. "I've said it already. You two are different."
"Yes, you have said it already…" Nie Mianmian said sarcastically as she wiped her tears, "I was wrong all this while. If I knew this would be the outcome, I would have…"
She stopped in the middle of her speech and smiled again.
She gently wiped her tears away and continued, "Ah Ting, you must have felt my feelings towards you all this while. Everything that I've done was for you. I'm willing to do anything for you too. I'm the only person on this earth that will never hurt you."
"Qin Yan.."
Nie Mianmian smiled as she glanced at Qin Yan and continued, "You'll find out eventually who is really looking out for you. Some people are just with you to use your power."
Xi Ting frowned, and just when he was about to snap, Qin Yan spoke, "Miss Nie, are you saying that I'm only with Xi Ting because I was attracted to his power and social status?"
Nei Mianmian gave her a look of condemnation and replied, "What other reason could there be? How long have you known him? Do you actually know who he really is? Are you saying that you are with him because you love him?"
"Of course not," Qin Yan quickly denied.
Nie Mianmian was shocked. She never expected that reply. Qin Yan could feel Xi Ting's rising anger as she finished speaking.
The hand caressing her head froze. A cold aura emanated from him. Even though it was in summer, she felt a chill run down her spine.
She bit on her lip and smiled. When she met Nie Mianmian's gaze, she slowly said, "Compared to his fortune and power, I'm more attracted to his face and rocking body."
"Miss Nie, you would be insulting his personal charm if you accuse me of being together with Xi Ting for his money and power. Don't you think that everything pales in comparison to this wonderful face?"
"So, if I'm with him for any reason, it would be his face. Don't you think that it's a joy to be with a guy with such a perfect face and body? It would be such an enjoyable experience to see such a handsome face first thing in the morning. Even if I were to eat scraps for my whole life, I would still be satisfied."
As she spoke, she felt the hand on her head unfreeze. The chill coming from Xi Ting also disappeared.
Nie Mianmian was shocked again. She got angry as she felt that she was played out.
"Qin Yan, you.."
"So please, stop accusing me of being with him because of his status, fortune, and power. Let me be clear, I'm with him for his looks. Nothing is more important than looks for me. Do you understand?"
How could Nie Mianmian accept this ridiculous reason? She was being ridiculous on purpose.
But when she noticed that Xi Ting was smiling, she got anxious and exclaimed, "Ah Ting, she's lying. You can't…"
"Enough."
Xi Ting turned to look at her coldly and said, "Nie Mianmian, you should leave now. You're just an outsider. Stop interfering with my affair with my girlfriend."
"Ah Ting, I…"
"I do not want to repeat myself for the third time," Xi Ting was running out of patience and said bluntly, "Get out."
He was chasing her away. Nie Mianmian felt humiliated. Her face turned pale as she began tearing up again. Suddenly, someone entered the office.
Tong Chunian entered at the right time. He was shocked for a moment when he saw Nie Mianmian tearing up. But he quickly regained his composure and greeted them respectfully, "Chairman Xi, Lady boss."
Xi Ting didn't look at Nie Mianmian again and said coldly, "Send Miss Nie off."
"Yes, Chairman Xi."
Tong Chunian then turned around and sighed inside when he saw Nie Mianmian's swollen eyes. He bowed towards her and said, "Miss Nie, please."
He knew how things would turn out already.
Judging by how Chairman Xi doted on Lady boss, he could never allow anyone to harm her.
So what if the person was his childhood friend? It could never be compared to his girlfriend. If Nie Mianmian was a bit more logical, everyone could have continued this friendship peacefully.
But obviously, she was illogical this time. From Tong Chunian's experience, anyone who argued with Chairman Xi would end up losing.
Wait, no.
There wasn't anyone that could win against him in the past, but there was Lady boss now. But Nie Mianmian wasn't the Lady boss. Hence, Young Master would not give in to her.
His patience was reserved for Lady boss only.
Nie Mianmian bit on her lip as tears began to run down her cheeks again. Before she left, she glared one last time at Qin Yan.
After they left, Xi Ting pulled Qin Yan into his arms.
"I wasn't aware that she would be here," He started to explain Nie Mianmian's sudden appearance. "She told me an hour ago that she wanted to see me. I said no, but she came, out of my expectations. What did she tell you when I wasn't here?"
Xi Ting looked down, and you could see the nervousness in his eyes.
"You've heard it all, right?" Qin Yan replied as she leaned into his chest. As she listened to his heartbeat, she said jokingly, "You said that you rejected her, so she should have understood it. But from the way I see it, it doesn't look like it. Did you lie to me?"
"No," Xi Ting instantly replied, "I would never lie to you. Everything that I've said is true. I have rejected her. But I can't control how she reacted to it."
"I just know that what she thinks and how she reacts doesn't concern me. You're the only person that can be my wife. No one can be Madam Xi other than you."
Qin Yan could feel her heart racing as she saw the determination in his eyes.
"Have you really, never liked Nie Mianmian before?" Qin Yan asked after hesitating for a while.
From her perspective, Nie Mianmian was a really good catch. She was the type that could make men fall for her easily. She was pretty, had a good family background, and graduated from a top university.
She was a great match for Xi Ting in every way. They also grew up together. Was it possible that Xi Ting never liked her before?
Actually, Qin Yan asked to satisfy her own curiosity. There was no other intention.
But Xi Ting thought that she was testing him and immediately attempted to clear up the relationship. He quickly denied, "Never, she isn't my type. We were just friends."
"She isn't your type?" Qin Yan was surprised by the reply. She blinked a few times before continuing her questioning, "Her qualities are perfect, and yet she isn't your type? So, what is your type?"
After she asked, she felt a strong glare on her.2
"Cookie, you're my type," Xi Ting answered as he lifted her chin. He then looked at her in the eye and continued, "I've waited for over twenty years for you. Can't you feel my sincerity? Don't worry, she could never be a threat."
Qin Yan started to blush and replied, "I'm… I'm not worried."
Who said that she was worried.
