Her Imperfection for Wifehood - Chapter 38.2

Chapter 38.2

“Yinyin…” Moved by Wei Yinxia’s genuine declaration of love, An Jing held her and lay down.

She infinitely tenderly touched, licked, and pecked at the red lips, her tongue sweeping over the even teeth, successfully prying open the white gate.

After receiving encouragement and invitation, An Jing’s kisses today were unlike her usual gentle ones. Her lips and tongue were resilient and fiercely possessive, domineering and greedily absorbing all the sweetness in Wei Yinxia’s mouth.

This stirring of love, this beginning of a kiss, was all taught to her by her Yinyin.

Leading the other small tongue in a passionate embrace, she wanted to experience everything related to love with her Yinyin.

Under Wei Yinxia’s instruction, she finally possessed her beloved, inside and out. Finally, neither of them had to suppress the yearning for love in their hearts anymore.

Outside the window, the moon hung on the branches, and the tree shadows swayed gently.

The prodigal who had drifted in the mundane world for so long finally found a peaceful harbor by the moonlight.

Her heart surged as she propped herself up, gazing at her lover’s charmingly shy and alluring look in the dim light, etching her every line into her heart.

She remembered firmly. She would never forget her deeply beloved, so enchanting.

“Yinyin, even if it leads to eternal damnation, I will fearlessly become your support, give you happiness, give you stability, give you bliss…”

Wei Yinxia closed her eyes, letting tears stream down.

Moments later, she opened her eyes, reached up, and hooked An Jing’s back, pulling her toward herself: “A-Jing, I love you so much…”

“I love you too.” She kissed her with affection. “Are you tired?”

“Not tired.” Wei Yinxia shook her head.

An Jing chuckled, suddenly calling out “Teacher Wei,” her tone mixed with a teasing hint, yet very alluring: “Are you really not tired?”

Wei Yinxia’s delicate body trembled, stirred by Boss Jing, fine mist still clinging to her lashes.

She retaliated by biting An Jing’s shoulder, then gently breathed into her ear: “A-Jing, in this life, I only want to marry you as my wife.”

“Good. Wait for me to marry you and be my wife.” But in the scene she didn’t see as she lowered her head, Wei Yinxia was weeping profusely.

In the beautiful dream they built together, heavy snow fluttered down, the light snowflakes softly drifting into the deep ravines and dense forests of the great mountains.

Hours later, Wei Yinxia’s body and mind were satisfied. She was gradually overcome by drowsiness and fell into a deep sleep.

An Jing held her in her arms, sleeping with her embraced.

The next day, when An Jing opened her eyes again, Wei Yinxia had already been picked up by people sent by Wei Zhengqing and taken back to the Wei house.

She saw a note left by Yinyin on the bedside table—A-Jing, last night was real, and what I said was also real. I love you, and only you.

Fortunately, her fever was gone, and her head didn’t hurt anymore.

When changing clothes, she saw the bite mark on her shoulder in the mirror. A feeling of happiness filled her heart.

Because it was—evidence of the beautiful dream, and evidence of Yinyin’s love for her.

Xiaoyu usually woke up early, so Tang Yunqing and Fu Wenjing also woke up early. They had even seen Wei Yinxia off together.

Breakfast was served, and Tang Yunqing came upstairs to knock on the door: “Are you ready? Is your fever gone? Does your head hurt?”

An Jing quickly put on her clothes to cover her shoulder and opened the door: “I was fine last night. Did Wei Zhengqing say anything?”

Tang Yunqing leaned against the door: “I had the driver who picked up Yinyin relay a message to Wei Zhengqing, saying that my parents also greatly admire Yinyin and asked me to find time to take her home for dinner. Anyone who isn’t an idiot would understand that message.”

Showing respect for the Tang family, Wei Zhengqing should not take his anger out on Yinyin in the short term. She had checked during their intimacy last night; there were no new bruises on Yinyin’s body.

But Kahn was a ticking time bomb. As long as this scoundrel remained in Shanghai for one more day, she and the An Corporation would not have a moment of peace.

“Miss Tang is resourceful. An is impressed.” An Jing gave a thumbs-up in praise.

“Stop with that act.” Tang Yunqing rolled her eyes at her, hinting meaningfully, “Yinyin stayed up all night watching over you last night, didn’t she? I saw her looking worn out this morning, and she was rushed back to the Wei house without even eating breakfast.”

“…” An Jing was momentarily speechless. They had been intimate all night. Yinyin only slept for about four or five hours. “I told you, Yinyin is a good girl.”

“Is she better, or am I better?”

An Jing was stunned.

How could Tang Yunqing ask such a question? It wasn’t like her.

“Is it difficult to answer? Or are you afraid that saying the true answer in your heart will hurt my feelings?”

Faced with the aggressive Tang Yunqing, An Jing, unable to avoid the question, had to be serious: “Yunqing, Yinyin is just a young girl inexperienced in the ways of the world. There’s nothing to compare between you two.”

Two women, one a close friend, the other a beloved lover—why should they be compared?

“When I picked her up yesterday, I asked her to help find evidence against Wei Zhengqing. Guess what she will choose to do?”

Tang Yunqing’s words were a heavy blow to An Jing.

No wonder Yinyin had been so eager to declare her feelings last night and so eager to have An Jing take her.

She must have been worried that An Jing would doubt her sincerity because she was unwilling to betray her father.

An Jing was very unhappy with Tang Yunqing’s actions, but she had to suppress her anger because she knew Tang Yunqing was doing this for her own good.

“Yunqing, the words have been said. Arguing about right and wrong with you is pointless. I won’t blame you, and I won’t blame Yinyin.” However, no matter what decision Wei Yinxia makes, there is one person whose future she must secure.

Placing her hands on Tang Yunqing’s shoulders, An Jing made a formal and serious request: “Yunqing, I need to ask you for one more favor.”

Seven days later, the forty-five new machines that had been impounded by the police station were finally delivered to the An Corporation factory.

An Xi was busy taking care of everything, and An Jing watched, deeply relieved and gratified.

The Eldest Uncle and Fourth Uncle were also present that day. Aside from the lazy Fourth Uncle’s grumbling, the Eldest Uncle praised An Xi’s composure and sense of responsibility.

Qin Zhe sent a congratulatory flower basket for the An Corporation cotton mill’s reopening. He waited in his car outside the factory, having his driver relay a message to An Jing, asking to see her once. After this meeting, he would no longer hold any lingering feelings for her.

After everything that had happened, he finally let go of his persistence and demands, only wanting to part ways amicably with An Jing.

But the cold-hearted An Jing did not give him this opportunity. Once some hurt is inflicted and a rift is created, it cannot be erased with just a few words.

Qin Zhe brought two pieces of news today.

One was that the date for the Board of Directors meeting had been confirmed for October 20th, along with the list of candidates for the Board member elections and the list of candidates for the Chamber of Commerce’s new members.

The other was that Kahn was widely promoting the news of his “double happiness” coming in late October within the foreign business community in the concession.

Where did the “double happiness” come from?

Naturally, from the—Chamber of Commerce and the Wei family.

Unable to see her, Qin Zhe reluctantly had his driver make another trip to deliver the prepared envelope to An Jing.

Finally, he took a deep look at the factory gate, pulled out the cigarette from his pocket, and threw it out of the car, marking a formal farewell to his tumultuous but ultimately fruitless unrequited love.

Uninformed citizens were predicting the downfall of the An Corporation. Yinghua was rapidly rising and had received massive investment, enjoying a peak moment of fame.

An Jing’s mind, calmed by Wei Yinxia’s sacrifice and comfort, became clearer.

That night, after An Xi returned, she called him into the study and handed him the list.

“This is the news Qin Zhe brought today. Looking at the two lists, Yinghua is very confident about entering the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce this time. Moreover, the An Corporation will most likely be kicked out of the Board of Directors. All our previous efforts were wasted because of the suspension of operations.”

“Sister, it’s just a Chamber of Commerce. If we’re out, we’re out. The An Corporation doing well on its own is fine. If foreign merchants continue to infiltrate, given your nature of hating evil, wouldn’t you be at loggerheads with them in an instant?”

An Xi read the list and immediately tore it up. “You, don’t worry about these things anymore. Just focus on recovering. Leave the factory matters to me.”

Through her observation over the past few days, An Jing believed An Xi was capable of handling things on his own.

She could hand over the business, but not her lover.

The 100,000 betrothal gift agreed upon by Kahn and Wei Zhengqing was already in hand. He could propose at any time. Why was he holding back?

Was it simply to time it with becoming a Chamber of Commerce member for the “double happiness”?

No matter what malicious schemes he was plotting in the dark, An Jing could not tolerate him getting away with his crimes, much less tolerate Yinyin being defiled by him.

Yinyin had given her first time to An Jing. It was a fact that Yinyin was her woman. She was the reputable Boss Jing on the Shanghai Bund. If she couldn’t even protect the woman she loved, then her decades of effort would have been for nothing.

“An Xi, regarding Yinyin, I want to use your name…”

“Sister,” An Xi raised his hand to interrupt her, “I know what you want to say, and I know what you’re worried about. I also don’t want to see Second Miss Wei married off to Kahn.”

Kahn must die to atone for his sins.

This was the deep-seated resolve and shared secret of the siblings.

“What about Ruyue?” This time, she intended to be selfish.

“You don’t have to worry about Ruyue even more. They are good friends. Besides, this is a matter of expediency. She will understand.” He was the person in the world who most wished An Jing happiness. If Wei Yinxia was the one who could make An Jing happy, he would support her and Wei Yinxia. What did it matter whether Wei Yinxia was a man or a woman?

“Thank you.” An Jing’s face showed relief.

That day at the nightclub entrance, when she heard the car horn, she knew An Xi and Lu Cheng had seen them.

They were her brothers, the people she least wanted to deceive.

She trusted them, just as they trusted her.

“Sister, the last person you need to say thank you to is me.” An Xi’s smile was as warm as sunshine to An Jing. “Our family can afford a 100,000 betrothal gift.”

“Don’t forget there’s still a final payment to be made.” An Jing was not thinking of competing with Kahn over who had more money.

Yinyin was priceless in her heart. She would willingly pay more than 100,000, even a million. But using “buying and selling” or “bidding” for a betrothal gift was an insult to Yinyin.

So, she must first ensure Kahn couldn’t pay the 100,000. No, she must first ensure Kahn wouldn’t live long enough to pay the 100,000. Then, she would negotiate a collaboration with Wei Zhengqing, use An Xi’s name to formally propose to the Wei family with all the necessary rituals, give Yinyin the title of Young Madam of the An family, rescue her from her misery, and then plan their next steps together.
