Capítulo 1396: Chapter 1389: For My Man

“Alliance?”

Upon hearing Shen Manjun’s words, a trace of confusion flashed across Lin Yafei’s face. How could she not have thought that Shen Manjun sought her out tonight to form an alliance against the Yang Family? This was completely unexpected.

Although during their last encounter in Jiangnan, Lin Yafei knew that Shen Manjun had a good relationship with Lu Tianxing. When Lu Tianxing entered the Lu Family, Shen Manjun supported him, but at that time, Shen Manjun’s explanation was that Lu Tianxing had saved her daughter’s life, which was why she supported him. Moreover, at that time, Lu Tianxing was only entering the Lu Family to investigate his own background and had not fallen out with them. So even if she supported Lu Tianxing, it wouldn’t have caused a rupture with the Lu Family.

But now there’s no need, Lu Tianxing has completely broken ties with the Lu Family. In the outside world, Lu Tianxing’s reputation is in tatters. After all, the Lu Family rumored he had killed his own grandfather. Furthermore, apart from the Lu Family, Lu Tianxing now faces various major families in China. There isn’t a single person in these families who would wish Lu Tianxing to live. To put it bluntly, Lu Tianxing is besieged on all sides now. At this moment, Shen Manjun expressing a desire to ally with her against these Chinese families goes beyond simply repaying a debt of gratitude.

Fixing her bright eyes on Shen Manjun, a glimmer flashed in Lin Yafei’s beautiful eyes. She spoke once more: “Sect Leader Shen, I’m very curious, why do you want to ally with us? Since you know what happened in Jiangnan, you should be clear about who the opponent is that we’re facing now. To be frank, we can’t even be sure if we can withstand the assault from these families. Now, Sect Leader Shen, you’re telling me you want to form an alliance with us against these families? To be honest, I’m very skeptical of your words because I believe there’s no love without reason, nor hate without cause in this world. Do you understand what I mean, Sect Leader Shen?”

After hearing Lin Yafei’s words, Shen Manjun did not get angry. It seemed she had anticipated Lin Yafei would speak this way. A faint smile appeared on her face, her lips slightly curved upwards: “You’re right, Miss Lin. There truly isn’t love without cause, nor hate without reason in this world. But suppose I told you this time it’s for my man that I sought you out for an alliance, would you believe it?”

“For your man?”

After hearing Shen Manjun’s words, Lin Yafei was slightly taken aback. Then her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, looking incredulously at Shen Manjun, who sat on the sofa with an air of nonchalance. Countless thoughts flashed through her mind as she tried to figure out why Shen Manjun came here today. But she had almost never considered that Shen Manjun would give this reason, and even if she had, it was only fleeting because she didn’t believe this unexpected thought at all.

Who is Shen Manjun! A renowned beauty in Beijing, the leader of the Shen Family, there are countless men who longed to pursue Shen Manjun and become her man. Sons of officials, wealthy heirs, elite talents from various sectors — they are practically countless. Yet she has never been rumored to have had intimate contact with any man, all her suitors have been ruthlessly turned away by her.

But how could Lin Yafei have guessed that Shen Manjun would say today that she came here for her man? Besides Lu Tianxing, who else could this man be?

Shen Manjun choosing Lu Tianxing didn’t surprise her, but the fact that Shen Manjun still chose Lu Tianxing after knowing he was a married man was indeed astonishing. So many elite and prominent people are after her, yet she chose a married man. This is just like being a billionaire owning villas and luxury cars, but deliberately choosing to live in a mud-brick house, eating salted vegetables — something that would probably drop anyone’s jaw in disbelief.

Shen Manjun seemed to have anticipated Lin Yafei’s shock, as she gently sipped her coffee and smiled: “Miss Lin, isn’t my reason enough? Of course, if you think I’m lying, you can call Tian Xing now and ask.”

“There’s no need to call, I think Sect Leader Shen has no reason to joke around with her own reputation.”

Upon hearing Shen Manjun’s words, Lin Yafei quickly composed herself and spoke up: “Sect Leader Shen, although you say so, I have another question. With your status, you could choose any man, so why Lu Tianxing? And knowing he is already married, why are you still willing to be with him as a woman? Is it worth it?”

“Miss Lin, this is a question you should ask yourself. Why, knowing he has a wife, you are still willing to be his mistress? Is it worth it for you?”

Shen Manjun raised a hand to smoothen her slightly messy hair, a graceful smile emerged on her face: “Moreover, I’m a woman. No matter how strong a woman is, she has to find her own place in the end. Once, my mother told me something. She said, ‘A woman shouldn’t easily fall in love with a man, but when you meet the right man in this lifetime, never choose to let go. He will be the man who treats you well and makes you happy all your life.’ And after seeing Lu Tianxing, I realized I seemed to have found the most important man in my life. You’re right, he’s married, but what does that have to do with me pursuing my own happiness? All I need to know is he’s the destined man of my life and that’s enough. As for marriage, it’s just a formality. As long as two people can be together, whether they have a marriage certificate or not is unimportant. Don’t you agree with me, Miss Lin?”

Listening to Shen Manjun, Lin Yafei was slightly startled, but soon her face showed a hint of agreement. For some women, as long as they meet the right, destined man, their future life would be happy, a blissful and sweet life. Isn’t this life she found a destined man, thus breaking free from family-arranged marriages, seeking true happiness for herself?

Although this happiness might seem unspeakable, she still feels very happy, and that’s enough. A marriage certificate is just a formality. How many people hold a marriage certificate but grow apart eventually? What good is that?

“You’re right, a woman will only meet one destined man in her lifetime. If she meets him, she should seize the opportunity, so that she won’t regret it. Even when she’s old, she won’t feel regret when she thinks back.”

Lin Yafei smiled slightly, extended her hand towards Shen Manjun and said, “Let me introduce myself officially, Lin Yafei. Welcome to join our big family.”

Seeing Lin Yafei’s gesture, Shen Manjun also showed a trace of a smile on her face, “Shen Manjun, nice to meet you. I’m older than you, so you can call me Manjun or Sister Manjun from now on.”

As they spoke, Shen Manjun also stretched out her hand and tightly shook Lin Yafei’s hand.

No one expected that this simple handshake tonight would establish the foundation of the strongest business alliance in China and even globally. In the near future, when this business alliance shows its fangs, everyone will understand its terror. In front of it, you have no chance of survival; you can only pray to lose a little less rather than defeat it.

…

In the early morning, as the eastern horizon showed the white belly of the fish, the darkness was scattered by the light, and the decadent atmosphere belonging to the dark world vanished without a trace. Suzhou City awoke again, and the ordinary people’s lives did not fluctuate at all due to Old Master Lu’s death.

In the presidential suite of Suzhou Garden Hotel.

Sunlight poured through the gaps in the curtains, making the originally somewhat dim room much brighter.

Bai Zhiqing slept sweetly in Lu Tianxing’s embrace, with a slightly sweet smile on her lips. The whole person looked like a gentle kitten, lacking the cold and proud temperament she normally carried in the company. Instead, she gave off a gentle vibe.

The entire room was incredibly quiet, with no sound at all.

Time passed by second by second. No one knew how long it took before Bai Zhiqing, lying in Lu Tianxing’s arms, suddenly opened her beautiful eyes. Due to just waking up, there was a trace of confusion in her eyes, but she quickly regained clarity. Feeling herself held in Lu Tianxing’s arms, Bai Zhiqing’s face showed a faint smile, as enchanting as a blooming rose.

Seeing Lu Tianxing still sleeping soundly, Bai Zhiqing’s smile deepened, and a glint of craftiness flashed in her eyes. She picked up a lock of her shiny black hair and reached towards Lu Tianxing’s nose, seemingly planning to play a trick with her hair.

But just as she brought her hair close to Lu Tianxing’s nose, Bai Zhiqing suddenly stopped, lowered the hair in her hand, lifted her head from Lu Tianxing’s embrace, and stared unblinkingly at Lu Tianxing sleeping beside her as if she were admiring a rare treasure.

Every woman will meet one destined man in her lifetime, who will accompany her for life.

The first time Bai Zhiqing met Lu Tianxing, she realized this saying was wrong. It should be that in a woman’s life, she will meet one man she wishes she could strangle. But as time went on, Lu Tianxing saved her again and again, even saying to her while smiling amidst danger, “You’re my wife. It’s my duty to protect you.” It was then Bai Zhiqing realized that a man she initially disliked might not be the one she would spend her life with after all.

The man in front of her seemed shrouded in mystery, making one irresistibly want to know what’s behind the mist. But the more you learn, the deeper you get caught. The ultimate result is willingly falling into it, not wanting to escape the vortex.
