Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

"Who?"

Ye Yunfei asked curiously.

Zhang Hanqing waved his hand towards the train behind him and said, "Little sister, come down, Ye Yunfei is here."

After Zhang Hanqing finished speaking, a figure slowly walked down from the train.

She was wearing a black dress, long hair draped over her shoulders, with a delicate appearance and noble temperament.

It was Zhang Yunwan.

"Yun Wan."

When he saw that it was Zhang Yunwan, a strange look flashed in Ye Yunfei's eyes.

At this time, Zhang Yunwan had already walked in front of her.

Zhang Yunwan’s eyes were always fixed on Ye Yunfei.

Ye Yunfei also looked at her and said, "Yunwan, where have you been during this period? I couldn't find you."

For some time before, Zhang Yunwan had been in Shanghai.

But after Ye Yunfei arrived in Shanghai, he went to find Zhang Yunwan, but Zhang Yunwan had left.

So, during this period of time, he didn't know where Zhang Yunwan was.

Now, seeing Zhang Yunwan at the Northeast Railway Station, he was a little surprised.

Zhang Yunwan said: "During this period of time, I went to various places to relax. Recently, I heard about the situation in the Northeast, so I came back."

Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "So that's how it is. Yunwan, since you're back in the Northeast, you can stay. Why do you want to leave?"

Zhang Yunwan had just got off the train, and from the looks of her, it seemed that she was going to leave with Zhang Hanqing.

Zhang Yunwan said: "Why should I stay? This is no longer my home."

After hearing what Zhang Yunwan said, Ye Yunfei understood.

Zhang Yunwan was blaming him.

Blame him for taking over the Northeast.

Ye Yunfei said: "Yunwan, did your brother tell you about the situation in the Northeast?"

Zhang Yunwan nodded and said, "I know everything now."

Ye Yunfei said: "Since your brother told you, you should know that I took over the Northeast not to snatch territory from your Northeast Army, but to prevent the Japanese from taking over the Northeast."

"Your brother can no longer defend the Northeast. If I don't come, the Northeast will fall into the hands of the Japanese. That's why I will move into the Northeast."

Zhang Yunwan said: "I know you did nothing wrong in this matter."

"However, Northeast China was my home before, but now it is no longer my home. I can't accept it."

"This has nothing to do with you. It's my own fault."

Ye Yunfei said: "Who said that the Northeast is not your home? The Northeast was your home before, and it will continue to be your home in the future."

"You can come back to the Northeast whenever you want."

"And Yunwan, don't forget that you are my woman. You can even say that you are the mistress of the Northeast."

“There is no problem with this.”

Zhang Yunwan looked at Ye Yunfei deeply, and finally said: "Yunfei, I know that what you said is right, and I also know that this result is the best choice."

"It's just that I grew up here. This place used to be owned by the Zhang family, but now it has suddenly changed. For a while, I really found it hard to accept it."

"So, I need to adjust for a while."

Ye Yunfei said: "You want to follow your brother to Beiping, right?"

Zhang Yunwan nodded and said, "Yes."

Ye Yunfei said: "I still hope that you can stay in the Northeast. I said that this place is your home no matter what time it is."

"I'd be happy if you stayed."

Zhang Yunwan looked at Ye Yunfei and said, "You want me to stay, so what identity should I stay with? As your woman?"

"Yes."

Ye Yunfei nodded.

Zhang Yunwan said: "Then are you willing to marry me? If you are willing to marry me now, I will stay."

Ye Yunfei was stunned.

Zhang Yunwan suddenly asked this question, which really confused him.

Ye Yunfei said: "Yunwan, this is too sudden. I haven't thought about this issue yet."

Zhang Yunwan said: "Didn't you just say that I am the mistress of the Northeast? Then marry me. If you marry me, I will become your real woman."

“At that time, I was the real mistress of the Northeast.”

"Otherwise, like now, even if we are together, I have no status. I may be your girlfriend, but I may not even be your girlfriend, let alone the mistress."

Zhang Yunwan's words were quite direct.

Ye Yunfei also frowned.

Although he had had physical contact with several women he had met before, and perhaps they all wanted him to marry them, none of them had actually said it out loud.

Zhang Yunwan was the first one.

Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and said, "Yunwan, I won't lie to you. To tell you the truth, I don't have any thoughts of getting married right now."

"In my opinion, pursuing a career is more important than starting a family. Getting married and starting a family will restrict me and make me feel insecure."

"I have to spend some energy on my family, but now, I don't want to do that. I want to use all my energy to develop Longmen."

“So, I won’t start a family now.”

"You should understand."

He told Zhang Yunwan his true thoughts.

For him now, getting married is definitely not something he would do.

He would never consider getting married until his goal was achieved.

Tell Zhang Yunwan the truth, and it depends on her what choice she makes.

Zhang Yunwan nodded and said, "I understand. I also know that you will make this choice."

"So, I'd better go with my brother first. When we get married, I will return to the Northeast. At that time, I will come back as the hostess of the Northeast."

Ye Yunfei looked at Zhang Yunwan, and finally said: "Okay, since you have decided, I respect your choice. You can go to Beiping with your brother first."

"I'll come to see you when I've dealt with most of my affairs."

Zhang Yunwan nodded: "Okay, I'll leave then."

After Zhang Yunwan finished speaking, she got on the train.

Afterwards, the train started slowly, and Zhang Hanqing, Zhang Yunwan, and 300,000 Northeastern troops all left the Northeast.

The Northeast will no longer have anything to do with the Zhang family.

Ye Yunfei watched the train leave and sighed slightly.

In fact, he could understand why Zhang Yunwan chose to leave.

Perhaps in Zhang Yunwan's heart, she still blamed him a little, after all, it was he who occupied the Zhang family's territory.

Even if there are unavoidable reasons, this is the result.

So, she left temporarily.

Just leave. For Ye Yunfei, a woman can never change his thoughts and goals.

He is sincere to every woman around him, whether it is Xiao Ya, Fang Yanyun, Feng Chenchen, or Zhang Yunwan.

He treats every woman sincerely.

And, willing to give them everything.

However, he was also very clear that now was not the time to be sentimental. Compared with women, what was more important to him now was his career.

Before he achieves his goal, he won't think too much about women...
