Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Six: Nan Wei Starts His Job (2/2)

With the battle that had been brewing for so long almost upon them, Liu Ye had finally picked a side. Yan Jin’s most powerful secret weapon could be best utilized in Country M where Yan Jin’s influence was much more stable.

Liu Ye had long guessed that Yan Jin wouldn’t sell him a favour for nothing. Thus, when Liu Ye had “developed a serious illness that needed to be treated overseas”, he had no second thoughts whatsoever. Instead, he’d held Nan Wei close to him for an entire night as “atonement” for leaving him.

In spite of Nan Wei’s verbal protests, Nan Wei was actually quite accommodating and played along in light of their upcoming long-term separation.

Nan Wei had never been a pretentious person. Once he’d sorted out his own thoughts and desires, he wasn’t one to deny reality.

They loved each other, so they couldn’t leave each other. But because they loved each other, they had to leave each other.

Nan Wei had come very close to losing his dearest childhood friend and his lifetime partner. Their treasured happiness together now seemed normal but had actually overcome many trials.

Not long ago, Nan Wei had chosen to leave home partly to escape the forced marriage but also partly to avoid Liu Ye’s confession. He had thought that he would have plenty of time to consider these things, but he hadn’t expected that the Nan Family wouldn’t give him such an opportunity. Citing their family’s best interests, they hadn’t permitted him to have any say in the matter. As such, he’d only spent three days with Yan Jin before being brought home.

Once he’d returned home, his uncle’s family had threatened to move his mother’s grave to force him to submit to the marriage.

Nan Wei hadn’t gotten any sleep that night. He’d stood in the patio, gazing up at the stars until daybreak when he’d finally realized what he hadn’t realized for the past half month—what he truly desired.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The marriage had already become a foregone conclusion .

He’d never gotten a chance to say goodbye to Liu Ye. He’d feared that he’d never have this opportunity.

After that, he’d boarded the plane and headed to the church with an ashen heart.

Throughout the process, Nan Wei was a mindless unresisting puppet. As his right hand was enveloped by that familiar touch, he’d even felt that he was in some dream-like fantasy.

Would reality really be like a children’s fairy tale with the perfect turn of events to reach a happy ending?

It probably would be.

From his childhood, he had always been very lucky.

With red-rimmed eyes, he had dove into the embrace of his beloved.

……

Nan Wei had very little interest in what had really gone on behind the scenes. He’d always hated the bloodless wars in the business world. In terms of IQ and talent, Nan Wei was a gifted student that had easily sailed through university. Even if he couldn’t compare to his genius older brother, his abilities were definitely above average. If he had no choice but to learn financial business management, he definitely would be able to reach Zhou Jinrong’s standard.

However, in terms of artistic talent, his psychological barrier was much harder to overcome. The barrier wasn’t from comparing himself to his amazing brother, but rather from the ever-present threat hidden behind his amazing brother.

Nan Wei hadn’t followed suit when Chu Ge had left home for ten years to pursue this.

Regardless of whatever happened, Nan Wei was never involved.

In the morning, Nan Wei had to drive Liu Ye to the airport, since Liu Ye was a classic shut-in that didn’t even know how to drive. When he’d finally reported in to YL, he was already half an hour late.

Normally, arriving late on the first day of work would leave bad impressions. However, because Nan Wei was a special case and he actually had a reason, neither Yan Jin nor Xiao Yu commented about it .

On the other hand, the rest of the new hires that joined on the same day didn’t think the same way.

Nan Wei had barely sat down at his desk when his coworkers approached him with malicious intentions.
