Fated Love With the Billionaire
Chapter 418 The Master’s Posture

Chapter 418: Chapter 418 The Master’s Posture

Ye Yujun understands her daughter as a girl with independent thinking and a rich spirit. In some matters, she is overly calm and persistent, considering issues from the perspectives of legal, rational, and emotional points, but in family relationships, emotion should be considered last.

Currently, the core disagreement between the father and daughter lies in whether to give up her career.

To be fair, Ye Yujun agrees with Chen Ningxi’s idea that even as a woman, one should have their own career. Even if managing a family, one should not be disconnected from society, so as not to get lost in mundane life and lose oneself.

But Chen Weichuan is concerned about Chen Ningxi’s health, worried that excessive work fatigue might affect her subsequent treatment. The treatment process will inevitably be challenging, and he fears that too much stress could overwhelm her.

Between her daughter and husband, Ye Yujun ultimately chose to stand by Chen Ningxi.

"Since you’ve made up your mind, sit down and talk to your dad calmly, he will understand."

Chen Ningxi’s eyes slightly widened, "Mom, you support me?"

Ye Yujun looked at her lovingly, "If even I don’t support you, who else in the world would stand by your side?"

It is truly heartwarming to gain understanding and tolerance from family on crucial issues.

"Mom..." Chen Ningxi’s eyes reddened.

Although the rest of the words remained unspoken, Ye Yujun understood, "Alright, don’t start crying like a child, apologize to your dad when he comes out."

Chen Ningxi: "I know."

Just as the words were spoken, the study door opened.

Seeing Chen Ningxi on the sofa, Chen Weichuan walked straight over and was about to speak when Chen Ningxi beat him to it, saying:

"Dad, I was too hasty just now, please don’t be angry with me. I have no intention of changing anything about my job. I really like my current work, and I hope you can understand."

Chen Weichuan nodded knowingly, "It’s your dad’s oversight for not considering your feelings and making a decision without discussing it with you. Since you’ve made up your mind, do your best with your work, but make sure to take care of your health."

Chen Ningxi: "Thank you, Dad."

Chen Weichuan placed his hands naturally on his knees, looking at Chen Ningxi with a tone of regret, "What thanks? I should be the one apologizing to you. I’ve seen all your efforts, and you’ve done great. I’m proud of you."

Listening to the heartfelt conversation between father and daughter, Cheng Qiaobei liked this warm approach to problems, receiving positive feedback, calmly facing them, and earnestly addressing them. Reflecting on his own family, issues would arise due to conflicts of position and interest, with the father-son relationship being more about usage and being used.

So, it’s possible for father and son to talk things through calmly as well.

On the way back, a fine rain drizzled outside the car, and the taillights of the car ahead cast a misty haze over the rain-washed windshield, with only the streetlights on both sides of the road waiting for those returning home.

Throughout the ride, Chen Ningxi was thinking about how to talk to Cheng Qiaobei.

The red light came on, and the car stopped steadily.

Across the street appeared the headquarters building of Jade Jiali, and he had a premonition that Cheng Siluo would not settle down tomorrow. While pondering this, Chen Ningxi’s voice calling "Qiaobei" pulled his attention back.

"What’s wrong?" he asked.

With a solemn tone, Chen Ningxi said, "Let’s make a five-year plan, shall we? If I cannot get pregnant within five years, let’s part ways amicably."

Cheng Qiaobei turned his face, his brows slightly furrowed.

"On what grounds?"

She withdrew her gaze from outside the car, stunned for a moment, "What do you mean, on what grounds?"

Cheng Qiaobei said, "On what grounds do you set a five-year plan? Can I still have a say in this family? Am I not the head of the household on the household register?"

Chen Ningxi’s eyelashes trembled lightly, just when she was at a loss for words, Cheng Qiaobei continued, "Today, I will make this clear to you: If in this lifetime, you can bear me a child, then do it. If you can’t, you will still stay with me till the end."

From the courtship to the marriage, he had never been angry with Chen Ningxi, but just now, he was really mad.

"Even if we have no children, you’re willing to stay with me?"

The red light turned green, and the traffic flowed through the dense rain curtain.

Suppressing his anger, he said, "That’s right, I am willing. Also, if you mention separation again, I’ll go to your family and complain; do you believe it, Chen Ningxi? I don’t think anyone can control you anymore!"

Chen Ningxi: "..."

The cabin was so quiet that only the sound of the rain outside the window remained, and she looked quietly outside, everything before her gradually becoming blurred.

...

On the day of the Jade Jiali anniversary event.

Among the people entering the venue with their female companions, Cheng Qiaobei and Deng Yan appeared somewhat conspicuous.

The event guests were gorgeously dressed, and the beauty gathered there. Even so, the handsome and elegant Cheng Qiaobei still drew everyone’s attention.

He wore a form-fitting oat-colored suit, with the Prince of Wales plaid fabric highlighting his relaxed and rakish style. The two opened buttons of his white shirt revealed a glimpse of a clavicle chain at his sensual collarbone, exuding a unique charm of noble rascality.

Deng Yan followed closely behind him, taking champagne from a passing waiter and handing it to him.

With his long, clean hand holding the wine glass, he chatted and laughed with the guests who came to greet him, his every move radiating his gentlemanly grace, with an unintentional smile carrying captivating charm.

This was not his stage, but some people, as long as they appeared there, took on a host’s demeanor.

Not far away, Cheng Siluo had been observing Cheng Qiaobei continuously from the moment he got out of the car and entered the venue, without taking her eyes away for a moment.

Cheng Siluo looked back at the direction of her father, Cheng Xiangheng, who was chatting with the chamber of commerce president, with his secretary Chen Qian standing behind him.

After greeting several acquaintances, Zheng Rongxi came to Cheng Siluo’s side, lowered her voice, and asked:

"I will find a chance to call Chen Qian over. You get ready."

Cheng Siluo retracted her gaze, "Got it."

She turned and left the crowd, heading towards the secluded passage. Deng Yan, who was watching in the dark, used the excuse of bringing a drink to Cheng Qiaobei to whisper in his ear.

"Manager Cheng headed towards the south exit."

Cheng Qiaobei’s face remained impassive, apologetically smiling at the business friends before taking his leave.

At that moment, Chen Qian was splashed with champagne by a guest, who repeatedly apologized. Although unhappy, considering the occasion and the caliber of guests who could be invited, Chen Qian knew that they were either wealthy or noble and not people he, as a secretary, could afford to offend, lest it jeopardize the company’s collaborations.

"It’s alright, I’ll handle it myself." Chen Qian kept a polite smile, turned, and headed toward the south corridor.

Just as he was about to enter the restroom, he heard Cheng Siluo’s voice coming from the balcony around the corner.

"Are you sure Chen Ningxi is infertile? Where did the news come from? Is it reliable?... Does Qiaobei know?... That’s true, such matters aren’t publicized... Alas, with the current advanced medical technology, it will be treated... Really? Are you sure she can’t bear children? Isn’t that basically marrying a hen that can’t lay eggs?... I dare not tell my dad. If he finds out, he’ll scold Qiaobei again, won’t he?"

Thinking of the times he had been scoffed at and mocked by Cheng Qiaobei and others like Deng Yan at Eastern First-class, a sinister gleam flashed in Chen Qian’s eyes, and he stealthily walked away.
