Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 416 Emotional Crisis
Liu Yifei felt uneasy after the meal.

She was fed a dose of PDA by Jiang Beicheng's official girlfriend, but it wasn't too bad. At her age and with her level of understanding, she wasn't too bothered by these things.

What truly made her uncomfortable was experiencing what it was like to be a lover.

Although she repeatedly denied that her relationship with Jiang Beicheng was devoid of emotional or financial considerations, she couldn't help but label herself as his "lover" when dining with Jiang Beicheng and Haitangxi.

According to social morality and customs, her relationship with Jiang Beicheng was a clandestine affair that could not be made public.

Regardless of how you define it in your heart, you are the one who interferes in the relationship.

I felt quite sad.

Even someone like her would put herself in such a hat.

I didn't originally intend to come today, but Jiang Beicheng's question, "You don't dare?" provoked me.

To prove that he had a clear conscience, he came to meet Jiang Beicheng's girlfriend openly and honestly.

The result is that, as the newcomer, no matter how outstanding you are, you can't hold your head high in front of the original spouse.

Because of guilty conscience.

Liu Yifei rarely seems guilty when she does things, but this time it was especially obvious.

Jiang Beicheng noticed her expression and deliberately sped up the meal.

The two of them have been trending on social media these past two days. Even if he hadn't invited Liu Yifei to this meal, Haitangxi would probably have gone to say hello to Liu Yifei anyway.

Even if he does nothing and says nothing, he still has to show his face in front of Liu Yifei, assert his dominance, and make sure he has enough of a presence.

Why not just invite them over to sit together?

This indicates his attitude.

Let Haitangxi define his relationship with Liu Yifei himself.

Should Liu Yifei reconsider whether she should continue this reproductive relationship with him?

If Liu Yifei feels uncomfortable and doesn't want to continue, Jiang Beicheng won't force her.

When she leaves, she will be given the compensation she deserves.

After all, we've spent so much time happily together.

After the meal, Haitangxi asked Liu Yifei, "Sister Yifei, how many days are you going to stay in Jiangnan City?"

Liu Yifei looked at Jiang Beicheng, who replied, "Two or three days, then we'll fly to Paris together to attend the Bernard family's dinner."

Liu Yifei nodded.

"What are your plans for the next two days, Yifei? Would you like me to go citywalk with you?" Haitangxi offered, "Baby is going to the Western China International Fair for Investment and Trade these two days, so I might not have time to accompany you."

This incident was not fabricated by Haitangxi to provoke Liu Yifei.

Jiangbei City is indeed going to attend the opening ceremony of the Western International Investment and Trade Fair.

Important leaders from the Ministry of Commerce and other units, the Jiangnan Municipal Party Committee and Government, important officials from many western provinces and cities, as well as foreign officials and international representatives... all gathered in Jiangnan City to participate in this grand international investment and trade fair.

In addition to attending the opening ceremony, Jiangbei City will also attend several important investment signing ceremonies.

He probably won't be able to spend time with Liu Yifei more than once these next few days, only in the evenings.

Liu Yifei politely declined Haitangxi's offer, saying, "I heard from President Jiang that President Hai is very busy with her daily work, so I'm really sorry to bother you."

Actually, I had already made plans with my friends in Jiangnan City for the next two days. Thank you for Mr. Hai's kindness.

Wishing General Hai all the best in his career.

Haitangxi smiled and nodded, "I hope Sister Yifei has a great time in Jiangnan City."

When the car arrived, Haitangxi offered to let Jiang Beicheng take Liu Yifei with him, saying, "Baby, you see Sister Yifei off."

Jiang Beicheng nodded with satisfaction.

The eldest son's performance in this regard has always been Jiangbei City's favorite.

He accompanied Liu Yifei into the car.

On the way back to the hotel, Liu Yifei turned her head to look out the window, lost in thought, and didn't say anything.

Jiang Beichen reached out to hold her hand, and she instinctively pulled away for a moment before smiling at him.

Her retraction of her hand was a genuine reaction from the heart.

She is now seriously considering her relationship with Jiang Beicheng.

I felt hesitant, even a little hesitant.

When Jiang Beichen reached out to take her hand again, she flipped her wrist, opened her hand, and intertwined her fingers with Jiang Beichen's.

Timidity is not in her nature.

Even if it's time to end it, it shouldn't be done in such a cold way.

Before thinking things through, I can't be too cold to Jiang Beicheng. That wouldn't be fair to him.

After all, he also provided you with happiness and emotional support for a long period of time.

Upon arriving at the hotel entrance, Liu Yifei leaned against the door and said to Jiang Beicheng, "Go back, your girlfriend is waiting for you at home."

I don't want her talking about me in front of you.

Jiang Beicheng reached out and hugged her, inhaling the fragrance on her neck.

"What?" Liu Yifei couldn't stand his coquettishness in her arms, so she reached out to push his head away and said with a smile, "Okay, Beibei, go back now."

Jiang Beicheng: "Give me a kiss and let's go."

Liu Yifei kissed Jiang Beichen deeply, then smiled and looked into his eyes. "Are you satisfied? Be good, go back and spend time with her."

Jiang Beichen tapped her chest. She thought he was up to something again, but suddenly her expression turned serious. "The Beibei I know isn't like that. He's a person with a great sense of the big picture."

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "Follow your heart. I'll bear all the consequences."

Get some rest, Sisi, goodnight.

He returned Liu Yifei's kiss, opened the door, and left.

Liu Yifei stood there, realizing she had been overthinking things.

With a smile on his face, his last words before leaving were quite manly.

"That little brat!"

He muttered a sentence.

I went inside to take a bath, and while I was in the bath, I made a video call to Li Xingying.

She doesn't have many friends in Jiangnan City, and the only ones she can have a good, private relationship with are Li Xingying and Wu Wen, the editor-in-chief of Shangcheng.

Li Xingying and she had acted together before, and the two often chatted in private. Liu Yifei admired Li Xingying's talent.

We gradually became friends.

Wu Wen and she now have a mutually beneficial friendship, or you could say they are friendly partners.

What she didn't know was that both of these women were women working for Jiang Beicheng.

Liu Yifei had work to do in Jiangbei City, so she had to go citywalk with a friend.

The first person that came to mind was Li Xingying.

"Hello, Sister Yifei." Li Xingying waved to the camera while wearing a face mask.

“I’m in Jiangnan City,” Liu Yifei said.

"I know, your name has been trending on Weibo for two days now. What's up? Want to go shopping with me?"

"You guessed right, hahaha, are you free tomorrow?"

“I must be free.” Li Xingying said happily, “Send me the hotel address, and I’ll come pick you up tomorrow morning.”

Tomorrow I'll be your tour guide for the day and show you around Jiangnan City.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Liu Yifei waved with a smile.

……

Jiang Beicheng guessed that Liu Yifei might go to Li Xingying, and the two became friends because of their work together.

Li Xingying felt a sense of gratitude towards Liu Yifei, because through Liu's introduction, she had a cameo role in that wildly popular urban drama, which doubled her net worth, gave her new career plans, and allowed her to explore more possibilities.

However, she wasn't in Jiangnan City today; she was in Luoyang for an event.

Jiang Beicheng called her and then arranged for the earliest private jet to pick her up and take her back to Jiangnan City the next morning.

She naturally understood her husband's intention: tomorrow was for him to keep Liu Yifei company.

"Coffee, Sister Xi." Jiang Beicheng left the hotel and returned to Park Avenue.

I made a cup of coffee and brought it to the study.

Haitangxi smiled, looked up, and kissed Jiang Beicheng to express her gratitude.

"Baby, get some rest early so you can be in good spirits to see your boss tomorrow," Haitangxi said with a smile.

“Wear the suit that you had custom-made for me by the Italian studio,” Jiang Beicheng replied.

"Mmm, you'll look really handsome on TV," Haitangxi said happily, sensing Jiang Beicheng's need for her.

In male-female relationships, the sense of need that you give your partner is the foundation for maintaining the relationship.

Jiang Beicheng simply echoed Haitangxi's words, saying that she should wear the clothes she bought, and Haitangxi immediately felt a strong sense of being needed.

After all, at tomorrow's West Asia Trade Fair, Jiangbei City represents the international image of entrepreneurs from Jiangnan City.
