My Arrogant Young Lady

"Your Highness, I failed to protect you, and I beg your forgiveness!" As soon as he saw me come downstairs, Wang Kun bowed deeply with a solemn expression. His face was filled with shame.

The incident happened on Wang's territory. Fortunately, I was unharmed and did not suffer any physical pain. If others knew about this, they would definitely blame Wang Kun.

Not wanting Wang Kun to feel guilty, I smiled and went downstairs to hug him. "We're all family now, there's no guilt involved. Besides, we've taken down the Desert Wolves, which is a good thing."

“But you got into trouble on our Axe Gang’s territory.” After hearing my words, Wang Kun’s expression was solemn and he still felt ashamed.

“It’s alright, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to capture the leader of the Desert Wolves. Let’s go, let’s go back to the provincial capital first. Don’t take this to heart, or you’ll be treating me like an outsider,” I said to Wang Kun.

"Alright." After hearing what I said, Wang Kun's expression finally softened a little.

"Young Master, how is the task your mother gave you going?" Qinglong asked me seriously as soon as he saw that I had finished talking to Wang Kun.

The task assigned by Qinglong was for me to choose the girl I wanted to marry and to rank them by age to determine their treatment within the Wang family. However, everyone misunderstood this as something else entirely. Anyone who had ever been in the Wang family knew my mother's greatest wish: for me to bear several children for the family.

In an instant, I felt incredibly awkward. Young Master Bao, however, gave me a knowing smile and gently nudged me, saying, "Not bad. I heard you didn't sleep a wink last night? How's it going? Did you do a good job of giving birth to a son?"

"How did you know?" I was already embarrassed, but my face turned red immediately when I heard what Young Master Bao said.

"Hehe, Tong Jialing'er is your personal bodyguard. She guarded outside your room all night last night. Of course we know exactly what happened between you two..." Young Master Bao chuckled mischievously.

"What? Tong Jialing'er waited outside my door all night last night?" Upon hearing Young Master Bao's words, I couldn't help but look at Tong Jialing'er.

All I saw was Tong Jialing looking at me coldly, with a hint of contempt in her eyes.

For a moment, I felt like I wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.

Chapter 424 Before Perfection

Back in the provincial capital, my future wife, Wang Xiaojiu, joined my ranks. Wang Xiaojiu is simple-minded and easily trusting, somewhat similar to Liuli. She also knew about my night with Zhuque, and from the journey back to the provincial capital, she kept glancing at me with curious eyes.

I felt really embarrassed being stared at like that by her. Taking advantage of a moment when no one was looking, I secretly went to Tong Jialing'er and asked, "Why did you reveal what happened between me and Zhuque? It must be so embarrassing!"

“Your brothers keep asking, and I don’t like to lie, so I just told them,” Tong Jialing’er said coldly.

By this time, we had returned to the villa where Xi'er and I lived. Seeing that we were all young, my uncle and Longpao left with their underlings. The villa Xi'er bought wasn't very big. There weren't enough people to stay, so Wang Kun had all the Wang family disciples leave as well. His eldest disciple, Wang Chen, escorted Desert Wolf to our Wang family home, where I would deal with him when I returned.

Many people think that winters in the South are cold. But I think winters in the South are quite warm. It's colder outside than in the North, and the indoor temperature is damper and colder than in the North.

It had just snowed, and Tong Jia Ling'er stood alone outside, admiring the moon. Her aloof personality was somewhat similar to the cold white snow, making her appear even more beautiful against the snowy backdrop.

I know Tong Jia Ling'er doesn't like wasting time talking to people. She hates being bothered. But seeing her bring up my relationship with Zhuque still made me a little angry.

Taking advantage of her inattention, I secretly pinched the soft flesh on her waist. Then, I whispered to her, "Tong Jialing'er, you're definitely jealous. You're such a jealous woman."

"I'm jealous?" Tong Jialing'er looked at me coldly.

"Of course, you definitely want to be favored by me too." With that, I hugged Tong Jialing'er tightly.

Unlike Xi'er, who is petite and slightly plump, exuding an air of wealth and elegance, Tong Jia Ling'er is a slender beauty who can eat whatever she wants without gaining weight. She's especially adorable after having children, having gained a little weight around her waist.

Her eyes were icy, and her demeanor was indescribably cold. Her aloofness made ordinary people afraid to approach her.

But I wasn't afraid of Tong Jialing'er, and I immediately hugged her tightly. Tong Jialing'er was most afraid of my shamelessness, and her expression immediately changed as soon as I hugged her tightly. "Wang Xi, you just spent the night with Zhuque last night, and you want to bully me today?"

“Yeah, is that not allowed?” I asked.

When the Empress Dowager married Tong Jia Ling'er to me, she was considered mine. However, at that time, with Wang Yuebai and his son in the Wang family, Xi'er and I feared they would exploit Tong Jia Ling'er's identity, so we always kept her status a secret. Now, I've demoted Wang Yuebai and his son to commoners, living ordinary lives and working alongside the Wang family's people. I can be with whomever I like. I no longer need to worry about Wang Yuebai and his son causing trouble.

Tong Jialing'er also knew that she was actually one of my people. So she just trembled slightly and glared at me angrily without saying a word.

It means I'm definitely yours, you can do whatever you want with me.

Seeing that Tong Jialing'er was only angry but didn't resist, I immediately smiled smugly and let her go. Then I pinched her delicate nose and said in a deliberately lewd tone, "Come to my room tonight, or I'll make things difficult for you tomorrow."

"Wang Xi. How dare you!" Tong Jialing'er glared at me angrily after hearing my words.

"Just kidding." I chuckled and pinched her nose again before turning and going inside.

As I entered the house, Tong Jialing'er watched my retreating figure with a somewhat forlorn expression. She seemed rather disappointed. Suddenly, I came out of the house again and said to Tong Jialing'er, "Are you very disappointed? Do you really want to be favored by me?"

"Wang Xi!" Seeing that I was deliberately teasing her, Tong Jia Ling'er immediately drew her sword and stabbed at me.

My face changed instantly, and I frantically tried to escape into the house. I ended up crashing into Wang Kun's arms, and we both fell onto the sofa. Wang Xiaojiu was still sitting there, whispering something to Zhang Shixue. When Wang Kun and I fell into her arms, Wang Xiaojiu let out a startled cry.

When everyone saw how I made Tong Jia Ling'er so angry, they couldn't help but laugh. I'm probably the only one who can make this icy beauty, Tong Jia Ling'er, act like a normal person.

"Brother Xi, hurry up and decide on the first and second wives! We're still waiting to see the rankings." Seeing how happy I was, Young Master Bao laughed and said to me.

"It's hard to decide, I haven't decided who I want to marry yet. Once I decide, I'll choose my first and second wives." Saying this, I immediately pointed at Tong Jia Ling'er and said, "You're so cold to me, you don't know how to please me at all, I'll make you my youngest!"

"Wang Xi, you want to die again!" Upon hearing my words, Tong Jialing'er raised her sword to strike me again.

As Tong Jia Ling'er's sword fell towards me, Zhuque swiftly appeared before us, standing not far away. With a gentle wave of her true energy, she deflected Tong Jia Ling'er's sword for me. Both were masters above the gods. Zhuque and Tong Jia Ling'er were also evenly matched. Smiling, Zhuque said to Tong Jia Ling'er, "Good sister, don't bother with Wang Xi, that child. It's not worth getting yourself upset."

"Hmph!" Tong Jialing'er snorted coldly upon hearing Zhuque's words.

Tong Jia Ling'er appears cold on the surface, but she is actually kind-hearted. Zhu Que simply smiles, secretly regarding Tong Jia Ling'er as a little sister.

As for my future wives, they don't care who's older or younger. Their rankings are just for fun.

But in my heart, I still keep their ranking in mind. I remember my father ranked my mother and the other mothers according to the order in which they gave birth to their children. My mother was the eldest, and I was the first, so the ranking was fair. But if I ranked them like my father did, it would be somewhat unfair to them. After all, Xi'er was the youngest among them, while Zhuque was the oldest. Ranking them by the order of birth would be a bit hasty.

Therefore, I must come up with a reasonable ranking that everyone feels is fair.

Thinking about this, I decided to first confirm my future wife. Now, only Bi Fang and Tang Ning remain undecided. I have strong feelings for Tang Ning; I thought she was very beautiful from the first time I met her, and she's very good to me. As for Bi Fang, she's indifferent; I'm not very interested in her. She feels the same way about me. She's indifferent to me too, and actually admires my younger brother, Wang Xi, more.

I walked to the side and took out my phone to call Bi Fang. Because I'm always on the go, I tend to lose my phone easily. Always carrying a phone is impossible. So I memorized everyone's phone number. First, it saves me the trouble of saving everyone's numbers, and second, even if I lost a hundred phones, I could always find the person I needed to contact. My memory is pretty good; I remember the phone numbers of almost everyone I know.

"Bifang, will you marry me?" The Wang family was almost at its culmination, and I called Bifang to ask.

"I don't really want to get married, I won't get married..." Bifang said after thinking for a moment, recognizing my voice.

"Alright, come visit our Wang family sometime," I said to Bi Fang.

“Mm.” Bi Fang smiled.

Bi Fang and I had no feelings for each other at all. My father arranged this marriage for me because he was afraid I wouldn't have enough wives. Now that we've made things clear, we both feel much lighter.

Then, I thought of Tang Ning. If I married Tang Ning too, it would be a perfect ending, wouldn't it?

After thinking about it, I deliberately left home and drove to Tang Ning's school. When I arrived at Tang Ning's school, I only made one phone call to her before she came downstairs.

As soon as she saw me, Tang Ning ran over happily and hugged me tightly. Then, she wrapped her arms around my waist and said affectionately, "Wang Xi, you're getting more and more handsome!"

"Absolutely, you're getting more and more beautiful." As I said this, I carefully examined Tang Ning.

It's been a while since I've seen Tang Ning, and she's really become even more beautiful. She's the fresh-faced type of girl, with a charming and lively appearance and a petite and adorable figure. In addition, she's warm-hearted and has a straightforward personality, making people want to get close to her at first sight.

I remember she took pity on me and even let me take advantage of her a little. I've always remembered her kindness.

I was about to confess my feelings to Tang Ning and bring her back to the Wang family. But when it came time to speak, I found myself a little embarrassed. After all, it was about making her a concubine, not marrying her. After thinking for a moment, I said to Tang Ning, "Let's go out for a walk together. It's been a long time since we last met. I'd like to treat you to a meal."

“Okay, I’ll call my boyfriend, we’ll go together.” Tang Ning nodded to me with a smile.

"You have a boyfriend..." My tone became a little awkward after hearing Tang Ning's words...

Chapter 425 The Eldest Brother as Father

Tang Ning was still the same—carefree and easygoing. She didn't take anything to heart and always had a smiling face. When her boyfriend arrived, the three of us walked out of the school together. In front of him, Tang Ning brazenly grabbed my arm and started telling me funny stories from her school. She even secretly told me that Zhang Shixue liked me and that I should be nice to her.

My arm was pulled into Tang Ning's soft embrace, and I couldn't help but steal a glance at her boyfriend. I saw that he didn't mind at all; instead, he was looking at Tang Ning with an expression of doting affection.

I know that no matter how rich or powerful I am, Tang Ning's boyfriend and I will always be evenly matched rivals. For Tang Ning, no amount of money will matter. The boyfriend she chose is someone who truly loves her. He's generous, easygoing, and not stingy. In terms of character and temperament, Tang Ning's boyfriend is outstanding.

Her boyfriend wasn't very handsome, but he seemed very manly. Although I was a little sad to see Tang Ning go, I still quite liked her boyfriend.

Sigh. I can only wish Tang Ning happiness.

I've met quite a few people, and I have a good eye for people. I believe this guy will definitely marry Tang Ning.

"What does your boyfriend do?" I asked quietly while Tang Ning's boyfriend was out at the restaurant.

“He’s a classmate from university, but he’s starting his own business. He’s making games, which I don’t know much about,” Tang Ning said.

"Yeah, that's good." I felt a little disappointed after hearing Tang Ning's words.

"Wang Xi, did you come to see me this time because you're planning to take me back to your home?" Tang Ning asked me after thinking for a moment.

Tang Ning is a very smart girl; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to study so poorly before and then suddenly work hard in her final year to get into a top university. Tang Ning saw through my thoughts at a glance, and I felt a little embarrassed. I laughed, lit a cigarette, and said, "Yeah, it's a pity you're already taken."

"Well, how should I put it? I have a strong liking for you, and I really like you. I've even thought about whether I might marry you someday. Your family is wealthy, and you live abroad, so I know you could marry many wives. But thinking about it, I've decided against it. Han Dong is a very good person, and he loves me very much. What you possess is this world. And I am his world. You'll be just as good without me. But he won't be as good without me. Wang Xi, I like you, and I wish you happiness." Biting her lip, Tang Ning suddenly looked at me seriously as she said this.

"Tang Ning, I like you too. I wish you happiness." I took a deep drag of my cigarette and smiled.

"Okay. Let's eat. I hope we'll always be best friends. If there's a chance, I hope you and Anyao can come to my house again. The time you and Anyao spent at my house was the happiest time of my life." Tang Ning suddenly smiled and pouted at me. Then, she picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and put it in my mouth.

"Come visit our Wang family when you have time, and let An Yao give you a good welcome," I said with a smile.

The meal was eaten quickly, and we talked a lot in front of her boyfriend. Suddenly, I realized that I had spent too little time with Tang Ning, and it wasn't until she got a boyfriend that I realized how much I missed her.

But Tang Ning has a boyfriend, and I have to accept that reality.

As I laughed, a pang of sadness began to well up inside me. Then came an indescribable sense of loss, a feeling of emptiness in my heart.

"Wang Xi, I've heard of you. You're a very famous public figure and have a good relationship with the big star Shan Shan. Although I'm still starting my business and don't have much money yet, I'll treat you well whenever you come to visit Tang Ning." Tang Ning's boyfriend said, holding my hand as I was leaving.

"Treat Tang Ning well." I smiled and squeezed his hand.

When I got back to school with Tang Ning and her boyfriend, I felt even more lost as I prepared to get on the bus. Suddenly, Tang Ning called out to me from behind.

"Huh?" I turned around in surprise.

I had barely turned around when Tang Ning hugged me tightly. Then, she tiptoed and gently kissed my cheek, saying, "Don't be sad, I will always remember you."

"Yes. I will always remember you." As she gently kissed me with her soft lips, tears almost welled up in my eyes.

Then, I got into the car. Looking in the rearview mirror, I saw Tang Ning holding her boyfriend's arm and quietly watching me, and my vision began to blur.

Tang Ning, I will always remember you. I remember you saving me when I was being beaten. I remember you being there for me when I was injured. I remember. You will always be my best friend.

The story between Tang Ning has nothing to do with love, but with sincere friendship.

Although I have many wives, I never got Tang Ning. Perhaps. Tang Ning and I are only meant to be best friends, not husband and wife.

Between Tang Ning and me, I can only say that we were destined to meet but not to be together.

I drove quietly back to Xi'er's house. It was bustling inside. Nie Xiaohai was playing King of Glory with Bao Shao Ye, Lu Zhicheng, and Heilong. Zhuque and Wang Xiaojiu were watching TV, and Zhang Shixue was cleaning the house. Wang Kun was playing cards with Qinglong and Baihu.

I saw Zhang Xuan had arrived and was talking to An Yao. Because I had been kidnapped, Wang Kun and his men had chased after me in a very fast car to rescue me. Zhang Xuan is an ordinary person and couldn't withstand the rigors of a long, sleepless journey. So she and her father, accompanied by the Wang family, traveled at a slower pace and only arrived tonight.

I think Zhang Xuan arrived right after I went to find Tang Ning.

"Wang Xi is back." Everyone looked at me immediately when they saw me return. Then, those who wanted to play games went back to playing games, and those who wanted to watch TV went back to watching TV.
