Chapter 433: Chapter 257: I Want to Go Home With You_2

After so many years, uttering this name still made her heart race and her cheeks flush.

But there was still one thing she needed to understand.

"Why, if you had Chen Cheng come to look for Xiao Ning and say he’s very capable, wouldn’t you have him marry Xiao Ning? Wouldn’t that be better?"

Faced with Cui Xiaoling’s question, Jin Baogen didn’t beat around the bush and straightforwardly replied, "Because the person Chen Cheng is supposed to marry, I’ve already arranged."

Hearing this, Cui Xiaoling pulled her hand out of Jin Baogen’s grip, "Isn’t this just the same as when you were young? Eating from the bowl, yet looking at what’s in the pot!"

Jin Baogen just smiled, "Actually, the first person I looked for Chen Cheng was Xiao Meng."

"Why isn’t it her then?"

"The reason is simple, she’s too innocent."

"Can that be considered a flaw? What’s wrong with being a little innocent?" Cui Xiaoling challenged.

Jin Baogen shook his head, "Innocence is good, but it also makes one easily hurt."

"This Chen Cheng, deep down, he’s not a bad guy, but dealing with money brings a lot of temptations."

He continued, "So, I initially found two people for him to temper that aspect of his nature."

"You found him two?" Cui Xiaoling couldn’t believe what she was hearing at first.

But after calming down, she recalled when she was young, she too faced numerous rivals.

Jin Baogen nodded in affirmation, "After finding the two, I needed him to settle down, to know his boundaries, so I took in a goddaughter to tie her to Chen Cheng."

"All this talk, and you still haven’t mentioned what makes your goddaughter better than my Xiao Ning!"

Jin Baogen looked at Cui Xiaoling’s slightly jealous expression, "Xiao Er, this girl, is completely different from Xiao Ning in temperament."

"Xiao Ning is innocent, like a blank sheet of paper, easy to be deceived."

He paused, "While Xiao Er, having spent many years in Big Willow Tree, has seen much of the world and knows better how to protect herself."

"She’s also truly sincere towards Chen Cheng, she has waited for ten years."

Cui Xiaoling was even more astonished, "Ten years? Waiting for a man?"

"Zhai Tiansheng had chosen her as his granddaughter-in-law a long time ago, I knew that," explained Jin Baogen: "But that Chen Cheng, I don’t know if he was oblivious or truly didn’t feel it, went out and had another relationship."

"But Xiao Er did not give up waiting because of that, to find someone else to marry."

"Such girls are rare these days."

Cui Xiaoling fell silent; she thought back to her own young days when she loved Jin Baogen with all her heart, only to end up emotionally and physically hurt.

Perhaps Xiao Meier’s perseverance and waiting were what she had lacked back then.

"Can she accept that Chen Cheng has kept other women outside?"

Jin Baogen smiled proudly, "Just like you didn’t know back then, right?"

Cui Xiaoling gave him a glare, twisting his arm, "You have the nerve to mention it! If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, were you planning to hide it from me for life?"

Jin Baogen grimaced while rubbing his arm, "Ouch, my queen, go easy! These are old stories from many years ago, why bring them up again?"

"Also, you better not mention this to Chen Cheng. I’ve told him that I’ve never strayed."

"Heh, you just love your reputation, unchanged even in old age."

Seeing it was about time, Jin Baogen said, "Nothing can be changed about the situation now. Chen Cheng is good to Xiao Ning, so just accept it."

Before Cui Xiaoling could speak, Jin Baogen preempted, "Tomorrow, I’ll have Chen Cheng bring Xiao Ning back to offer you a cup of tea, make an apology, and we’ll drop the matter."

"After all, it’s between them, you as a mentor shouldn’t worry too much."

"Just enjoy your later years with me."

"Who wants to spend the remaining years with you? At this age, and you’re still smooth-talking."

"Huh? You just called out, can you take it back now?"

"Don’t use your words to trap me! I was deceived by you!"

"Deceived yet you called, can you deny it now?"

Jin Baogen said steadily, "Come back to my side, let me take good care of you."

"Who needs your care?" Cui Xiaoling stubbornly replied, though her tone softened unconsciously, "I’m living just fine on my own."

"Alright, alright, you’re living just fine,"

Jin Baogen agreed with her, "but you still need to let me take good care of myself. I’m an old man, how can I manage without someone to look after me?"

Cui Xiaoling couldn’t help but laugh at his words, "Nice try! With so many people looking after you, do you need me?"

"They look after my body, but who can tend to my heart?"

Jin Baogen said again, "Only you truly understand me."

"You always have sweet words to say." Cui Xiaoling lowered her head.

...

...

Meanwhile, at Bulgari.

"Wan Wan, you can stay here for now."

Chen Cheng took Meng Wanning into the room, "Take out your mobile phone."

Meng Wanning obediently did as told, and Chen Cheng continued, "I’ll transfer 200,000 to you first. If there’s anything you need, go buy it yourself."

"You have Xiao Hai’s number, right? Just tell him wherever you want to go."

Faced with Chen Cheng’s arrangements, Meng Wanning took back her phone, "Sir, I don’t want your money."

Chen Cheng smiled, "What you have is yours; what I give is what I give."

Meng Wanning stood with her hands behind her back, "No, I can’t take it."

The smile froze on Chen Cheng’s face, he asked in surprise, "Why?"

"If I accept your money, our relationship will change."

Meng Wanning said earnestly, "I don’t want our relationship to turn into that."

Chen Cheng fell silent; he understood what Meng Wanning meant.

After a long while, he spoke, "You’ve misunderstood. I’m giving you money because you’re going to need it in the next few days outside, not because I want to gauge your feelings for me with money."

Meng Wanning looked up at the man in front of her, and Chen Cheng continued, "I can’t be with you every moment; don’t you need money for whatever you want to eat or buy?"

Meng Wanning instantly thought of an unchangeable truth.

She had come out with Chen Cheng at all costs, but he couldn’t stay here either; he needed to go home, back to Xiao Meier.

Looking at the luxurious suite, thinking of the sourness of the night without seeing anyone, and the constant company in Qianzhou, Meng Wanning realized that their beginning was so beautiful, but there were many things she still had to go through.

"What’s wrong? Why are your eyes red again?" Chen Cheng tenderly caressed her face, "Weren’t you just fine?"

Meng Wanning hugged Chen Cheng, shaking her head in his embrace, saying nothing.

Chen Cheng stroked her head, "Tell me?"

Meng Wanning still shook her head.

Chen Cheng thought for a moment, "Do you feel like staying here, you’re too far away from me?"

"Mhm mhm mhm!" Meng Wanning lifted her head, her eyes tearful as she gazed at Chen Cheng.

"Then where do you want to stay?"

"I want to go home with you."

Her gentle whisper stirred a storm in Chen Cheng’s heart.

Of all the women he was currently involved with, none had ever made such a request.

Not even Wen Shulin.

"Go back with me?"

Meng Wanning nodded firmly.

Chen Cheng took a deep breath, "We’ll have to think of a way."

Meng Wanning held Chen Cheng tightly, "I’ll talk to my senior sister."

Chen Cheng stiffened even more, "You’ll talk to her? Say what?"

"Mhm. Sir, don’t worry, I just want to be closer to you, I won’t do anything."

It was the first time someone dared to probe Xiao Meier, and right under his watch. Chen Cheng didn’t know how she would react, but it was truly unexpected.

"I don’t want to live here, there’s nothing familiar here, and there’s no you," mumbled Meng Wanning.

"Wan Wan, are you really sure? This is too risky," said Chen Cheng uncertainly.

"I will plead with my senior sister; if she doesn’t agree, I’ll come back, okay?" Meng Wanning also understood what Chen Cheng was worried about.

Chen Cheng looked at her, his emotions churning.

"When are you planning to go?" he asked.

Meng Wanning blurted out, "Right now."
