Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 830 - 816: Three Years and Another Three Years

Chapter 830: Chapter 816: Three Years and Another Three Years

Angelina had been following Wang Ye for almost three years!

Wang Ye had not concealed anything from her, from starting a business, setting up a brokerage company, to later experiencing the assassination attempt on Khodorkovsky, and then Wang Ye’s transformation into Mikhail...

And later, as Wang Ye soared to great heights, becoming the president of the New Sun Group, taking over the Xiao Ying Group, establishing the Wagner Security company, running for Duma Member, serving as the Vice Speaker, and so on.

All these things, Angelina knew!

So she wasn’t like the other girls who only saw Wang Ye’s apparent endless glory.

Angelina also knew that Wang Ye had always had a great sense of crisis, treading on thin ice in everything he did.

Fearing that a single misstep would plunge him into an "abyssal deep"!

That was a real danger to life, not something to be taken lightly...

It was because she understood Wang Ye that Angelina wasn’t particularly angry when she found out Wang Ye was to be engaged to Rossiyana.

After getting an affirmative answer from Wang Ye, and after a long silence, Angelina faintly asked, "Then how much longer must we wait..."

Her question actually contained two layers of meaning.

The first meaning was, of course, asking Wang Ye how much longer it would be before he could, or would be willing to become a "dad"!

The second meaning was asking Wang Ye when he would feel that his power had grown strong enough, no longer living in constant fear of being outmaneuvered by others.

Wang Ye paused, then replied with a firm tone, "Give me three more years! Three years later, there should be nothing that can threaten me anymore. By then, I will also give you a... relatively satisfying outcome."

Angelina sighed, three years on top of another three years, that made it six years.

How many sets of three years does a girl have at her prime...

But since she had already committed to Wang Ye, she could only walk down this path without regret.

There was no turning back now.

And she didn’t want to turn back...

......

Before hanging up the phone, Wang Ye said, "I’m sorry."

Angelina held her phone and stood stupefied for a while before returning to the living room.

Natalia was quietly eating fruit. Hearing the footsteps, she looked up and said with a smile, "You two are so affectionate..."

She stopped mid-sentence, swallowing her words as she noticed Angelina’s complexion wasn’t very good.

Only after Angelina sat down beside the sofa did Natalia cautiously ask, "What happened? Did something happen?"

Angelina let out a breath, forced a smile, and said, "It’s good news! Misha... he’s gotten engaged..."

Because Wang Ye said over the phone that it wouldn’t be long before the Romanov family would make a public appearance, and their engagement would be announced at the ceremony where Rossiyana inherits the title of Grand Duke.

Given the identities of Wang Ye and Rossiyana, this event was sure to create a sensation throughout Russia and even the whole of Europe!

So there was no use in hiding it. It would be better to tell Natalia outright so she could know sooner and avoid doing something foolish when the time came.

Natalia was stunned for a moment, then asked instinctively, "Engaged? When? It’s with you, right?"

Clearly, she had her suspicions but dared not believe them.

Angelina gave a bitter smile and shook her head, "With... the heiress of the Romanov family, the Grand Duchess! Her name is Rossiyana, you must know her."

Natalia’s eyes widened in astonishment as the information given by Angelina became increasingly outrageous!

How could it be that these terms, long forgotten, the Romanov family, the Grand Duchess, had surfaced?

She had an interest in history and had studied the Romanov Monarchy, so of course, she understood what it represented.

Wasn’t that Rossiyana just a well-off second-generation, currently serving as Wang Ye’s special assistant, pretty and highly trusted by Wang Ye?

How had she suddenly transformed into a Grand Duchess of the Romanov family?

"You’re not joking, are you? When the Romanov Monarchy ended, didn’t all the family members... all die out?

How is there suddenly someone from the Romanov family again!

Besides, even if there were surviving descendants of the Romanov family, like Rossiyana’s family, there would be her father, grandfather, and such. The title of Grand Duke wouldn’t fall to her just yet, right?

Lastly, even if all of the above were true, how could she inherit the title of Grand Duchess?

Now there’s no Tsar, and nobody else has the power to bestow the title of Grand Duchess upon her."

Natalia rattled off a barrage of questions, many of which she felt defied logic!

Angelina shook her head helplessly, muttered, "I’m not clear about these things; it’s what Misha told me. Oh, this happened tonight while he was having dinner at the Kremlin, I only heard him mention that during the engagement announcement of him and Rossiyana, Puding and the Patriarch would be present."

Natalia was startled at first, then slapped her forehead with a "snap".

Clearly, Misha would not deceive Angelina about this.

So according to what he said, even Puding and the Patriarch would be involved; it meant that this was likely true...

She herself had overlooked something just now, that although Russia no longer had a Tsar, they still had the Patriarch!

The Patriarch indeed couldn’t grant a commoner the title of Grand Duke, but what if the person in question was already a duke and only required the Patriarch to formally acknowledge it?
