Chapter 829: Chapter 815: Feeling Guilty_2

However, after Kaja’s incident, Angelina gradually understood that for a man as outstanding as Wang Ye, it was really difficult to remain faithful in matters of love.

Whether it was just playing the field or being exposed to too many temptations, in any case, his side was never without the presence of numerous beautiful women.

Angelina felt powerless about this and decided it might be better to just accept it, so she could at least worry a bit less.

Natalia pursed her lips; she knew her good friend well—who never fought or scrambled for anything, just let it be. How could this be acceptable?

She began to urge, "Both of you aren’t getting any younger. Why don’t... you find an opportunity to talk to him? Even if you can’t get married now, getting engaged would be good."

As Natalia spoke these words, she felt a little sourness in her heart and an indescribable feeling.

Honestly, if Angelina weren’t her best friend, Natalia would have made a move on Wang Ye long ago...

In Russia, men are outnumbered by women, especially the outstanding and young ones; they are truly a ’hot commodity’!

Not to mention a man like Misha, who is so exceptional that the word "outstanding" does not suffice to describe him!

What a pity, who told her and Angelina to be best friends? She really couldn’t bear to compete with her for a boyfriend...

......

They were chatting about Wang Ye when, as it happened, he suddenly called.

Seeing that the incoming call information showed "Misha" on her mobile screen, Angelina happily answered the call and headed towards the bedroom.

The living room was noisy with the TV on, plus Natalia was right there, so it wasn’t that convenient, was it?

"Misha, why did you suddenly call? Didn’t you go to China?" Angelina asked.

A few days ago, before going to China, Wang Ye had phoned Angelina, so she knew about this.

But she wasn’t aware that Wang Ye had come back, and she thought he was still in China.

Wang Ye chuckled and said, "I’ve already returned to Moscow. There’s too much going on here, and I couldn’t stay away for too long."

"Yeah, I’ve been seeing you on TV a lot lately. The election is about to start, right? It seems quite intense this time. It’s a pity I can’t help you much from here," Angelina said, blaming herself.

"You’ve kept the situation in Crimea stable, and that’s been a huge help to me already. Things here are manageable, nothing major," Wang Ye quickly reassured her.

They chatted about this and that for quite a while. Yet, Wang Ye didn’t get to the point, never bringing up Rossiyana and the topic of engagement.

He came close to spilling the words several times, but they never left his mouth...

This mode of conversation was obviously not typical for Wang Ye, and given Angelina’s understanding of him, she quickly sensed something was off.

"Misha, is there something you want to tell me? Just say it. No matter what has happened, isn’t there nothing we can’t communicate directly about?" she said softly.

Hearing her speak like this, Wang Ye felt even more guilty.

However, it was something that had to be confronted sooner or later. Steeling his heart, he finally broke the news.

"Angelina, I’m sorry, I... might be getting engaged soon..."

Angelina held the phone in a daze, unable to speak for a long time. Her mind went blank, unsure of how to respond.

Wang Ye, hearing no response for a while, asked with some concern, "Hello? Angelina, are you there?"

"I... am here. Congratulations to you. By the way, who... are you getting engaged to? Do I know her?" Angelina said, forcing a smile on her face, though the smile looked even uglier than tears.

"It’s Rossiyana. Mr. Puding brought it up tonight during dinner at the Kremlin. Recently, I’ve encountered a major crisis, and this engagement... could help me solve my current dilemma, so... sigh!" Wang Ye explained, struggling.

He wanted Angelina to understand that his choice of Rossiyana wasn’t because she was better than Angelina, but because Rossiyana could help him more...

But Wang Ye couldn’t finish his words.

Because even to himself, this rationale felt... it couldn’t be said to be far-fetched, it made sense logically, but emotionally, it just didn’t sit right!

It made him appear cowardly!

To resolve a crisis in politics or career, to give up on the girl he had always liked?

Although many big shots would choose to do this and outsiders could understand, such things are never really pleasing to look at...

"Misha, you don’t have to explain, I understand, I know it all... It’s just, just... what will become of us in the future..." Angelina said in a low voice.

She had actually realized much faster than Wang Ye had expected why he made such a choice.

Angelina was someone who knew Wang Ye’s true identity, and she was also aware of the majority of his affairs.

When she heard Wang Ye mention "having dinner at the Kremlin, Mr. Puding initiated the idea," Angelina understood a lot of things!

It must have been that Wang Ye encountered a hurdle he couldn’t cross alone and only the Kremlin could help him, and the Kremlin’s condition was for Wang Ye to get engaged to Rossiyana!

That Rossiyana, she knew her too, and she also knew that Rossiyana’s father-in-law was none other than Mr. Puding.

Connecting all these things together made the truth of the matter that much clearer...

Hence, Angelina could understand Wang Ye’s choice, and what concerned her more now was how her relationship with Wang Ye would evolve in the future.

Would Rossiyana demand that Wang Ye sever all ties with her?

......

"Although my reason tells me that I should let you go, I still want to be selfish just this once and keep you by my side," Wang Ye said softly.

He was going all out.

After all, when he made that decision tonight, he no longer had the right to talk about "morals" or "love", so why not be "selfish and willful" just this once!

He couldn’t refuse Mr. Puding’s request, so Wang Ye would honor the agreement to get engaged and married to Rossiyana.

But at the same time, he didn’t want to give up on Angelina either!

Of course, it might be a bit unfair to Angelina...

No matter what decision Angelina ultimately made, Wang Ye had to convey his thoughts and attitude to her, he didn’t want Angelina to leave him!

As expected, Angelina’s eyes became moist with tears and she was choked with emotion upon hearing Wang Ye’s words.

She also knew that if she chose to leave, she could still lead a prosperous life thereafter, as Wang Ye would compensate her greatly.

But she didn’t want to leave Wang Ye...

However, if she didn’t leave, she would only be able to be Wang Ye’s "secret lover" forever, an unpublicized one.

In an instant, many thoughts and ideas flashed through her mind.

As one idea crossed her mind, her eyes lit up and she suddenly asked, "Then... if I don’t leave, in the future... could we possibly have a... baby?"

Although she spoke vaguely, Wang Ye understood her meaning immediately.

He answered without hesitation, "Of course! But it will have to wait for a few years; I’m not ready to be a... father yet!"

That made sense, Wang Ye himself was only in his early twenties and should be a university student; he didn’t want to be a "dad" at such a young age...

Of course, this was also because he had to take Rossiyana’s situation into account.

No matter what, Rossiyana would be his wife in the future, and even if Wang Ye loved Angelina a bit more, he couldn’t go too far.

He had to wait until after he was married and had children with Rossiyana before he could consider having children with Angelina...

The intelligent Angelina must have also realized what Wang Ye meant, and she didn’t mind it; after all, she didn’t want to have children so soon herself.

Since Wang Ye took the initiative to ask her to stay and was also willing to let her have a child, Angelina felt that this was already something she could accept.

As for marriage, although she yearned for it too, she had no choice but to concede to the harsh reality.

Even Wang Ye, a man so powerful and proud, bowed his head in front of the Kremlin, so what was a little grievance for her in comparison?

Thinking this, Angelina actually started to feel a pang of heartache for Wang Ye...
