Xu Mengyan originally thought that her words could successfully persuade Zhao Xiaotang to back off.
But she didn’t realize that it was her last words that made Zhao Xiaotang fall into deep thought.
If the previous words about being wholeheartedly committed to Zhang Yang were impulsive, now Zhao Xiaotang was really considering it seriously.
Especially when Xu Mengyan said, if she encounters trouble again, who would help her get through it?
With these thoughts, Zhao Xiaotang couldn’t help but think back to her original criteria for a partner, which was to find a strong man who could give her a sense of security.
She didn’t even care about the other person’s family background, their job, or how much money they could earn.
As long as they were responsible, could protect her, and step up when needed, that would be enough.
She didn’t know when she forgot about this original intention. The source of this content ɪs novel※fire.net
Probably because all the suitors she encountered were driven by strong motives.
And now having met Zhang Yang, perhaps it was truly destined.
Although Zhang Yang was a scumbag, he was straightforward.
He didn’t hide his desire for her body and possessiveness, but there was more appreciation in his eyes.
The most commendable thing was, even though Zhang Yang could easily have her body, he still refused her.
Just now, he turned away without any hesitation. Even though just a moment ago, if Zhang Yang had said one more sentence for her to continue undressing, Zhao Xiaotang knew she would have done it.
But Zhang Yang didn’t do so, wasn’t this another form of integrity?
Zhao Xiaotang stared firmly at Xu Mengyan and asked, "You just said not to let a momentary impulse lead to regret. So I want to ask you, you’ve been with Zhang Yang for so long, and you’re even carrying his child, do you regret it?"
"Of course not, how could I regret it? Being with Zhang Yang is the most correct decision I’ve made in my life."
Xu Mengyan said without hesitation.
But after finishing, Xu Mengyan suddenly realized and looked at Zhao Xiaotang in disbelief.
"What do you mean, you can’t be having second thoughts again?"
Looking at Xu Mengyan’s surprised expression, Zhao Xiaotang smiled slightly.
Then she picked up the clothes Xu Mengyan just took off and helped her put them back on.
Xu Mengyan looked at Zhao Xiaotang in astonishment, "What are you doing? I don’t need to get dressed now, I’m just about to meet Zhang Yang..."
Before Xu Mengyan could finish her sentence, Zhao Xiaotang placed a finger on Xu Mengyan’s red lips.
"I know, it’s a bit excessive to say this, but I still want to ask if you could give me this one chance?" Zhao Xiaotang said with a smile, although she smiled, her eyes were filled with determination.
Xu Mengyan almost thought she heard wrong.
"You can’t possibly be thinking of being with Zhang Yang, and settling things today, can you?"
"I’m telling you, you’re being too impulsive, think carefully, you’ve known Zhang Yang for less than a day."
But this time Zhao Xiaotang was not swayed.
"I know what I’m doing now, I trust your judgment and my intuition; since you don’t regret it, then neither will I."
"And think about it, where else could I go? My beauty salon empire, which I built from scratch, is here."
"That represents my hard work, if I leave, they’re sure to devour my beauty salon."
"So I have to stay here and fight them."
"Therefore, I need a support, a strong man who can protect me."
"It might sound a bit selfish, but rest assured, I won’t exploit Zhang Yang."
"During this time, I will integrate the assets of the beauty salon, separate the core business, and then transfer it to Dragon Country; I’ll join you guys later."
"My business can be my dowry, all for Zhang Yang."
Xu Mengyan looked at Zhao Xiaotang with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "You really wasted so much of my breath."
"Are you sure you won’t regret doing this? There are more women around Zhang Yang than you see, many of them in Dragon Country."
"You might not even count as a lover, because Zhang Yang really values emotional bonds."
But Zhao Xiaotang said, "Emotions can be gradually cultivated, when you and Zhang Yang first started, there probably wasn’t much emotional foundation either."
Xu Mengyan was slightly stunned, as Zhao Xiaotang hit the nail on the head.
And it’s worth mentioning that Xu Mengyan and Zhang Yang also did what needed to be done on the first day they met.
That time, it was in Chen Yun’s beauty salon, Xu Mengyan was an old customer of Chen Yun.
Looking at Xu Mengyan’s expression, Zhao Xiaotang immediately realized she had guessed right.
"Xu Mengyan, now I have one last question, and I want to ask you."
Knowing any more introductions to Zhao Xiaotang would be useless, Xu Mengyan said, "Ask away."
Zhao Xiaotang asked, "I want to know, will joining cause any displeasure or hostility among you?"
Xu Mengyan smiled slightly at this question, then teased deliberately, "If it would, would you leave?"
Zhao Xiaotang shook her head, "No, I won’t lose to anyone, we’ll just rely on our abilities."
"Then why ask me?" Xu Mengyan gave Zhao Xiaotang a sidelong glance.
"So I can prepare mentally. What if you all team up against me, what should I do?"
"Or I could call you sister in the future, and we could join forces."
Xu Mengyan said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "Stop it, stop it, don’t say that. Zhang Yang doesn’t like those things, the occasional jealousy is okay, but you want a palace intrigue, you’d be sent to the cold palace."
"Moreover, as the third parties, we’d better keep a low profile, Zhang Yang has an official girlfriend named Xiao Man."
"She’s Zhang Yang’s scales, you should know that."
Zhao Xiaotang quietly noted down the name Xiao Man in her mind, then looked at Xu Mengyan with a face full of gratitude, "So you’re agreeing to let me stay, thank you."
"Thanking me won’t do any good, soon you’ll see if Zhang Yang wants you or not, it’s still up in the air, or maybe he’ll have you and then not care, that’s also possible."
"Whether you can win Zhang Yang’s heart, that’s up to you."
"I’m going to the living room to play games, I’ll leave the bedroom to you."
Zhao Xiaotang blushed, "Do you really have to stay here? How about I book a room for you next door?"
"Of course not, if you’re shy, just forget it."
"I’ll be playing games in the living room, I won’t bother you."
"And if you can really get Zhang Yang to accept you, then I might consider joining you to do something exciting with Zhang Yang."
